My S3 is from Bulgaria, I'm in Canada. I've tried checking for the 4.3 Update over the air & it says there's none avaliable which I know is not true. I tried Kies but it says my Firmware is not recognized. So my only choice is through Sammobile but I'm seeing 4 different codes for Bulgaria. I'm seeing VVT, BGL, GBL & MTL. Does it matter which one I flash? I believe the VVT & MTL are carriers, mine came unlocked.
Here's some info on my S3
AP: I9300XXBLH1
CP: I9300BULG2
CSC: I9300EURBLH1
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
BGL should be fine
Thanks alot. Another question can you tell me what the 3 letters represent? And if something goes wrong like the battery is draining to fast or the UI is going slow, would it be okay to flash a different Rom for Bulgaria?

Hi,
I'm new to Android and Galaxy S2. My phone was purchased in Spain from Vodafone.
I have just upgraded my ROM as per Intratech's guide (thanks by the way for the nice gude). The upgrade went good but after upgrae Kies shows the old CSC and says it can't update. Is this expected? I thought the CSC was supposed to change to the generic one.
I used ROM XWKE7 from the guide. After upgrade I get the following:
Doing *#1234#, I get:
PDA: I9100XWKE7
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
Doing *#272*<your IMEI>#, I get
ATL
In Kies it shows:
PDA: KE7 / PHONE: KE4 / CSC:KD1(ATL)
- Can someone please clarify?
- I'd also like to know if after this I still have to do something else to unlock the phone to use with a different provider.
- I was hoping to leave the phone as unbranded so future updates will be picked up through Kies.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Debranding is not unlocking .

Thanks very much for this info. At the end I did a factory reset after updating and now phone shows XEU as expected.

thanks for the reply. I just don't understand why my CSC is none of the chilean ones. My phone is unbranded and under languages has English, espanol, portuguese and some asian looking language. Kies recognizes it and says its running the latest firmware.
Well found out
TDR = DOMINICAN REP.
TTT = Trinidad & Tobago
Not sure how I ended up with chilean unbranded firmware and a Trinidad CSC. 50000 different firmwares is confusing enough having some whacko one that no one else has or talks about makes it even worse, at least the phone works and is awesome as is.
Can I just flash some other countries firmware and csc and make it be like my phone came from there or just flash phone and pda but don't flash csc in odin?

Well it is if you understand how Trinidadians speak.
Hi Guys,
In New Zealand there are a few GT-I9100 phones showing up that have the csc: VNX. No one can seem to find out what this CSC actually is.
In New Zealand the main CSC is VNZ which is a carrier CSC for Vodafone NZ.
The weird thing is some people have purchased phones directly from Vodafone which have come with the VNX csc while the majority come with VNZ.
Currently we are waiting for an ICS update and people are asking the questions, who is responsible for the VNX csc?
Vodafone NZ & Samsung NZ haven't been able to go give anyone an answer.
Is there anywhere on the net we can go to to find this information out? Is it a non branded NZ phone?
The current VNZ firmware is 2.3.3 while the VNX firmware is 2.3.5, here is the info:
Model: GT-I9100
Product Code: GT-I9100LKAVNX
PDA: I9100XWKI8
CSC: I9100VNXKI1
Phone: I9100XXKI4
Can anyone shed any light on this csc?
thanks
I believe this is the Vodafone NZ Gamer edition firmware.

Yes I've seen a post about that but there doesn't seem to be anything different between the two firmwares. Nothing that makes it a 'gaming edition'

I am pretty sure what makes it a Gamer Edition is on the internal phone memory and since UMS files are not released as part of a firmware pack, you will not notice any differences.
Hi everyone,
I'm in a conundrum. I've gone and soft-bricked my Samsung G3 I9300T and my attempts to flash it with various stock firmware have fallen flat. Can anyone offer me help or direct me to a thread (for dummies) for identifying which firmware would be suitable for my I9300 as I'm led to believe there are differences eg. ZSALED (Hong Kong) vs UBALE6 (Brazil).
Phone details:
Model: GT-I9300T
I've seen other threads posting AP, CP & CSC but I'm not sure how to obtain these details
I'm sorry for being ignorant. But many thanks for your time.
History of phone:
I purchased it off kogan a few years ago.
This is my first time rooting and flashing my S3 and everything's gone horribly wrong.
When I try to put it into recovery mode it will 'cycle' the Samsung Galaxy SIII title page but never reach recovery mode
I can put the phone into Download mode.
I've attempted to flash the phone with these firmwares:
-GT-I9300_TGY_I9300ZSALED_I9300OZSALED_I9300XXLEF.tar. md5
-CheckROM_V4_LG8.tar.md5 (from a thread: PM me if you'd like to know it)
-I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md 5
(I use Odin3 v3.04-3.09 to flash these but everytime I run into a Fail)
Hi,
Could someone direct me to a thread that'll teach me the notation of firmware. B/c I still don't understand: the meaning of the designations for PDA & CSC.
Example
Model: GT-I9300
Country: United Kingdom
Version: Android 4.3
Changelist: 2168382
Build date: Thu, 28 Nov 2013 12:07:41 +0000
Product Code: BTU
PDA: I9300XXUGMK6 (What does XX, UGMK6 mean?)
CSC: I9300OXAGMK6 (similarly, what does OX, AGMK6 refer to?)
MODEM: I9300XXUGMK6
And what's the difference between Samsung Galaxy SIII International (firmware) I9300XXEMC2 & I9300XXUGNB4? (XX means Australia, but what do EMC2 or UGNB4 mean?
Again I apologise if I irritate some of you. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,

Thanks for the reply, Darke. Would this NZ firmware still be compatible for a handset in Australia, Sydney? I'll give it a try anyway

No reason why it shouldn't, its the same as the one infront of me. At any rate hopefully it repair your phone so you can maybe install your proper rom
I have the g900h s5 device that I rooted a little while ago. I want to unroot the phone.
when I search for my firmware, I am getting confused by the country codes I see on the files. does the country code matter on the firmware?
when I do the *#1234#, I see:
ap: g900hxxu1ani1
cp: g900hxxu1ani1
csc: g900huub1ani1
on sammobile I search for g900huub1ani1 and I see 3 countries listed.
Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, panama
which one do I choose? does it matter?
any help is greatly appreciated
