I flashed a different stock firmware on my Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Previously I was on ORO but now I use DBT. To check the CSC I did the following:
dial *#1234# -> I see the correct DBT values: "AP: G850FXXU2BNK1", "CP: G850FXXU1BNK1", "CSC: G850FDBT2BNK1",
changed the values in the "efs/imei/mps_code.dat" and "system/csc/sales_code.dat" files to DBT.
booted in recovery and there I see it's applying DBT
However, Kies3 is showing a 4th value, which is still stuck on ORO. This is confirmed by the "Phone INFO" app, which shows "Product Code: SM-G850FZWEORO". DBT got just the other days an update, but Kies3 is telling me there isn't any. I've tried using a plethora of CSC changing apps but was unsuccessful.
What am I doing wrong and how can I completely change the CSC?

It seams that the solution to "completely" change the CSC after flashing a new firmware is to do a factory reset of the phone. Of course all the data gets erased, but that's what backups are for.
After the factory reset, there's no track of the old CSC. Keis sees the device correctly on the new CSC.

I upgraded my firmware through Odin to KE7 with the XEU CSC. But when I attach the phone to Kies it tells me that the CSC is still my network in the brackets after the code which has XEU.
For example according to Kies my CSC is: KD1 (MET) but I was expecting KD1 (XEU).
I did perform a factory rest after changing the firmware and the CSC per the phone states XEU when I check it using the *#272*IMEI# code.
How do I get Kies to recognise the CSC as XEU?
Kies can only read the codes on your phone .
Once you start putting stock firmware on a phone Kies may not recognize it again as codes no longer match database .
Spoof Kies may help search or look in market .

Hello
Today I installed OMEGA rom 43.6 4.1.2 on my rooted s3. I cannot connect to my netowrk. I have done every single thing including changing modem and checking IMEI number and whatnot. My CSC code wont change. I tried changing it (I do have root and busy box installed) through the csc changer app but it doesnt change. It stays the same. I tried converting it to my country but it didnt work..
This was my previous ssettings. I live in Pakistan
AP: I9300XXEMA2
CP: I9300XXELLA
CSC: I9300OJVEMA1
And the ones attached in the image are the ones which are not changing..
Search in General Thread. They are a topic containing CSC collection.
Take the correct file and flash it with your Recovery.
But wrong CSC are not responsible of your network connection problem. It only contains information concerning sales codes ... used by Google Play for example. A phone with bad CSC can send/receive calls/messages...
I have a really strange problem going off here and I am hoping that a few people in the know can help.
On my ongoing saga / quest or even visit in to the twilight zome trying to get my phone repaired I have come up on a new issue.
I have managed to get the phone to boot using this ROM - KIES_HOME_I9300XXELL4_I9300OXAELL4_566833_REV00_user_low_ship.tar which I flashed via odin.
I ended up having my baseband back reporting as - I9300XXELL4 and the infamous IMEI coming up as 0049*.
Now I run terminal emulator this is what I have
getprop ro.bootloader - I9300XXUGMK6
getprop ro.baseband - unknown
Then when I run samsung phone info I get the following
CSC INFO
Original CSC code - KOR
Firmwares CSC code - KOR
Active CSC code - KOR
CSC country - Korea
CSC Country ISO - blank
Product code - GT-I9300RWDEUR
The Korea part baffles me as everytime I have downloaded a ROM I have looked for BTU as I am in the UK and from the digging I have done this phone was unlocked.
So even to someone like me with very limited knowledge of this sort of stuff, it looks like I have a combination of a 4.3 Bootloader and 4.1.2 system which could be stopping me from getting my IMEI up?
Would flashing a MK6 BTU Modem ( as I am in the UK ) through Odin work?
Unknown baseband means hardware failure, csc is unimportant.
To set the csc to match firmware you need to factory reset in recovery, after flashing.

So in phone settings it is showing as the I9300XXELL4 baseband however in terminal emulator it is unknown what does that mean?
I bought SGS6E from polish operator Plus - with CSC PLS.
I found polish XEO (i was thinking that):
XEO-G925FXXU1AOCV-20150410142820.zip
flashed via ODIN. Everything went ok. But the CSC that phone show is... TPH for Portugal.
It is possible to change CSC without waiting for new firmware (good) for XEO?
Did you perform a factory reset in recovery as that resets the csc.
Otherwise maybe phone tools Samsung from the marketplace?
On the screen i seen
Appiled multi-csc. Csc appiled: TPH

Hey,
No way to do that. The problem is that even if you download FWs from sammobile that have different CSCs - based on my experience - they will default to something else. On my Galaxy Alpha which originally had XEH I flashed a XEF ROM and there was no way back. Sad but true.
The only good thing with the S6 is that with the currently available 5.0.2 ROMs you can still achieve root without loosing the warranty. And after root you can change the CSC and then can flash the original ROM which will NOW default to CSC you just set. But only if it contains that CSC package!
Hope I could help!
Cheers,
TT

I had the same problem first get your firmware from sammobile flash it through odin
then factory reset from stock recovery it will chose a random CSC but dont worry once you setup your new device go into the setting>backup and reset>factory reset. make sure you dont have automatic restore.
after reset setup device again then Open your phone’s dialer and type the following code with your device IMEI number: *#272*Phone’s IMEI Here#
it should automaticaly take to your csc changer screen pick ur one then install
hope it works !

How it works : on devices where dialer NOT shown up CSC changer (e.g.: 920F) :
Go to recovery, Dial up, Home + Power
wipe cache and perform a factory reset
next is important : power down the phone. NOT to reboot.
Power on in download mode: volume down+home+power buttons
FLASH for example : BTU :
G920FXXU3COI9_G920FBTU3COJ1_G920FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar
after reboot, it will be English, and If U go to recovery it will apply BTU.
Hope it helps
p.s.: It wont works with EVERY Firmware. don't know WHY. For example :
I wanted to flash after succesfully changed the CSC from TPH to BTU, so I wanted to flash XEH....BUT that resets to TPH after XEH flash.
So at least to BTU it works specially if you are in TPH CSC !
Can I change the CSC on an 925F to something non F? Currently mine is coded THR (Iran) and I wish to change it to something USA related. I'm hoping to activate Samsung Pay but from what I've read the change will require root which will trip Knox which won't allow Samsung Pay to work. Am I right?
Working for Galaxy s6 Edge in COJ9 ? If yes I will restore it
damm i wish i found this thread some hours ago ... same prob with G925FXXU3COI9_G925FOXX3COJ1_G925FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar as XEO CSC declared ...
coming from DBT -->> BTU --> trying jump to XEO with Firmware found by SamFirm , but failed.. every try it switches to TPH anywhere with CSC/Firmware i come from.
after read this thread i give up my trys
so go back to BTU and hope OTA Update to marschmallow comes next days ...
greetings from germany
So finally there is no option to install CLEAR XEO when you have brand? The same as author. Comming from PLS (plus) / TPL (T-Mobile) to XEO, and i get TPH For portugal.
Or meybe ishanmu and tiborprogmed way is working to have clear XEO with LTE icon?
Hi, I'm trying to change my CSC to XME (Malaysia). I downloaded the files using Frija. After flashing, my phone's CSC is now XXV (Vietnam) instead.
`XXV/XXV,XXV/EUY".
Note that I am unrooted and I'm trying to change the CSC region by using official firmware so I can still keep my Knox and warranty intact.
Wondering where did I do wrong? Help is greatly appreciated.
Update:
I've managed to change my CSC for Android 12.
When you flash a multi CSC firmware, it seems to be defaulting to a CSC which in my case, is the Vietnam XXV CSC.
I found a free tool that could change the CSC called SamFw FRP Tool 2.5
All I need to do is flash it with Odin again and when the initial setup screen shows up, go into an emergency call and type in *#0*# which will take you into the test mode.
After that, use the tool to change CSC with the tool then complete the rest of the setup on your phone.
P/s: Samsung Pay does not seem to work. When I add a card, it says invalid information when authenticating with the bank.
Hopefully the FRP tool is from a reliable source. The error message could mean the opposite. Normally the CSC from multi region is selected by the SIM cards country. Did you have 2x Malaysia inserted on first boot after flashing? Also there are dialer codes that bring up a menu to select a specific region, I think best chances are with Google phone app. You would need to search for these codes for your device.
Samsung Pay in german, CSC is EUX fix, 5 minutes
Hello This also works with most Samsung phones If anyone is struggling with Samsung pay being in German and has the csc being EUX, I know how to solve the issue and it only takes about 5 minutes. Basically the csc is set to EUX, which is the new European standard, but for some reason, Samsung...

Another update, Samsung Pay works after I register with another bank. It was the old bank's fault. Not the phone or CSC region change. The CSC region change worked for Samsung Pay as well from the very begining.
