Hi, first post, but have been using all the helpful info from the forums for 6 months now with my TF201, this is related to my new i9300. I'll try to be as descriptive as I can:
Black i9300 purchased last week in the UK, but currently has the TGY (Hong Kong) CSC code. I tried flashing to the UK JB ROM on Sammobile but came back with an unknown CSC error. Fair enough. I followed some instructions i found to get to BTU CSC code:
Flash back to BTU ICS
Flash BTU CSC package
Use Galaxy CSC changer to select BTU
Reboot, now with a fully working ICS build, and BTU CSC (I9300OXAALF2).
However at this point i wasn't able to find any official OTA updates and Kies told me that my device was not compatible with kies updates.
Flashed the original JB UK ROM I downloaded and now i'm back with the unknown CSC.
Any ideas? I've already tried flashing the CSC package onto JB and that's not worked, so now i'm really stumped. As far as I can tell i've removed all HK CSC codes from my device as it was happy as BTU with ICS...
Thanks
Hey guys,
I have a New Zealand Samsung S3 GT-I9300.
It's got no branding on the phone, no logos, no logos on startup etc and I didn't buy it from a Telecom, 2 Degrees, or Vodafone store so I assume its unlocked. I bought if from an electronic store called **** Smith.
It's on the Telecom network - just chucked in my Telecom SIM.
OS - 4.0.4
AP - 19300XXALF2
CP - 19300XXLF2
CSC - 19300NZCALF1
At the moment when I plug the phone into Kies, it gives me the message "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to firmware via Kies".
After doing some research and troubleshooting steps like making sure Kies is up to date, reinstalling drivers etc I saw that some people said that if your CSC is wrong Kies won't upgrade your phone.
I realised that Jellybean hasn't been released for NZ yet but I figure that Kies should be saying something along the line of 'You have the latest firmware..' instead of saying its not supported.
So I was just wondering if my CSC looks fine for an unlocked NZ S3.
Let me know if you need any more information.
Cheers
My S3 is unlocked from Parallel on Vodafone NZ had the same CSC with no problems. I wouldn't worry about it much you can always flash via Odin.
If you are worried about it, flash the stock rom via Odin and use the BTU CSC that's what I've done, I have had no issues with it at all, and it's updated itself all the way up to 4.1.1 OTA with no problem.
Also, have you rooted the phone? If so it can report that you are unable to update via Kies

Thanks for your reply and advice
My phone isn't rooted.
BTU is UK right?
Couldn't I just change the CSC instead of flashing another ROM?
This will void warranty right? Don't really mind but just wondering out of curiosity.
Cheers
Mine isn't rooted either. You don't need to be in order to install the rom through Odin.
BTU is in fact UK
You can try to change the CSC first and see if that works, keep in mind it's going to wipe your phone when you do so.
It should not void the warranty, as you will still be using a default stock official rom, most people load the stock official when sending it in for repair work
By the way, the stock rom I used was the one listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 from May 13th :
I9300XXALE8 Download (Thanks To SamMobile!)
Base Firmware: I9300XXALE8 (4.0.4)
Region Europe
Country: United Kingdom
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 13 May 2012
Modem: XXLE8
CSC: OXAALE8
Change List: 554452
I then accepted OTA updates on the phone directly to get it up to the current rom

Thanks for that!
I'll give that a go.
Thanks
Just by coincidence my phone updated to Jellybean 4.1.1 via OTA a few days ago without me having to flash another stock ROM on it.
Also, Kies now reports that I have the latest firmware.
Looks like all I had to do was be a bit more patient.
Everything seems to be in order now.
Cheers for your help anyway guys.
Is there a download link for the S6 Edge SM-G925F BTU Version, or can I use the United Kingdom - Vodafone [VOD] version for Marshmallow?
+1
PIT file first then XEU 6.0.1
XEU https://mega.nz/#!Qp8FwRaB!mL-jvistEiJMYXGYnxvPPbhAceEx77oQmc6AL9yrJPI
Could you provide me the instructions on how to PIT the file and then XEU. Thanks

Did you find a solution?
I have J7pro SM J730F with PDA as well as CSC version
J730FXWU2ARE2 Android 7.0
It has CSC Code for PAK (Pakistan)
My device is rooted and TWRP is installed. KNOX counter is, therefore, 0×1
I have downloaded a UAE version firmware, Oreo 8.0.1

Can I use flashfire to keep it rooted and flash the updated firmware without bricking.?
And.. is there anyway to keep the data?
