Hi guys,
I just bought a Galaxy S2 and I want to flash a newer firmware.
The firmware I intend to flash (XXKG1) comes with PDA, MODEM and CSC.
Is it possible to flash just it's PDA part? Would there be any implications on that?
Why would I want that? Because the original firmware (Brazil - VIVO carrier) I could find only came with the PDA part. So if I flash CSC or MODEM, there is no way back.
The CSC is different from mine. Would that be a problem?
Thanks in advance
AFAIK the CSC is installed into the system partition, so even when you only flash the PDA part you're going to loose your current CSC setup.
However, if the FW comes as seperate .tar files you can just flash the PDA one, yes.
You can take care of a "way back" if you first install CF-Root for example and then do a backup from recovery mode.
Restoring that back gets you pretty close to "nothing ever happened" - it doesn't backup the moden though, only system and data.
Uhmm... weird, even on ODIN you have a separate button for the CSC.
What are the consequences of changing the CSC?

As the above poster mentioned It really depends how the firmware is packaged
Intratech's firmware are packed in one TAR ( Pda/phone/csc ) is just one zip, which you put in the PDA section and it flashes all three of them within
If you get three seperate files then you put them in their corressponding order of ODIN
In this instance you can choose to keep your current CSC and not flash that one.
Although I am not sure if It has any effect between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4
Just to clarify CSC subject:
I live in Kazakhstan. My present setup (from *#1234#)
PDA: I9100XEKE2
Phone: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: I9100XEKE1
believe all available official samsung firmwares are issued do exist for different region(i.e. Kazakhstan is not included)
How safe is it to flash the 2.3.4 firmware now (KG2) ?
What can I possibly loose using the KG2 firmware from Samsung ? As u understand phone language is not a problem for me.....so wonder anything else I omit ?
Thanks for help
Sorry to bump in....
Hello, I am relatively new to forums, only discovered it since I got my galaxy s2, which was a month ago.
Anyways I have similar questions, and I read a bunch of topic which only made me even more confused about what to do, and didn't want to make a new thread so I bumped in here
If inappropriate, please ignore me.
Anyways, Ive got:
PDA: I9100XWKE1
PHONE: I9100XWKE1
CSC: I9100OJVKE1
It is an stock firmware, and I guess a ROM...
I want to update to 2.3.4 but waiting seems not to be a better side of me so I decided to do it manually.
My question is with what should I update with?
As far as I understand, latest official firmwares can be found in the Intratech's post ( the XXKG2 one ).
But I am worried about the CSC part, and how will it affect my phone?
As far as I understand CSC carries localization of a sort, for some network configuration, but my provider sends config messages, and only language I use in phone is English.
Will random CSC part affect me?
Can I even update from my current firmware to the latest one? or do I need to update to other one first?
Will update wipe my data? ( it seems no as far as I understood from guide )
Will the phone be full "stock" ( basically like I bought it with that firmware), and will I be able to update on later time with KIES ?
What kinda of problems (if any) might I expect with upgrading this way? ( if presumably I do everything as I should, i.e. as per guides )
Once again, I apologize for bumping this thread, and I thank you for any help you provide.

Hi,
I first apologize for my english, but this is not my native langage
So, I've got an issue with my SGS2... At the beginning, the phone freeze while I was on the phone internet browser. I 've retired the battery in order to de-freeze it. At the rebbot, impossible to reach my mobile carrier (in France, Free Mobile).
A *#1234# return a "CSC : Unknown".
I've done a full wipe, reinstall via Odin the last ROM, XWLPX from Nordics Countries. My phone run fine, but I still have the CSC : Unknown.
I'm at the moment on XWLPX Nordics Countries with CF-Root 5.6-NEE-LPX...
What's going wrong ? Is this important ? How can I solve it ? It's not seem to be "urgent" because the phone is running fine (apparently), but...
Thanks for your help and have a good day
Same here. Can you use different languages in Samsung's keyboard ? I can't.
I'm using swype and yes, I can switch from french to english, and english to french without any problem.

If I flash again the ROM with Odin, all my parameters will stay ? No wipe ? Is this a solution to solve this issue ?

The only thing you are missing right now, is the ability to change Samsung keyboard language.
There are better keyboard alternatives in market, that will give the possibility to change whatever you want.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Ok, it will be great so. No need to change langage for me, and with swype it's possible to do it.
Thanks.
By the way, I have flash again the ROM via Odin, and it's ok, CSC is NEELP5 now.

Hi guys,
Im thinking of going back to stock firmware and stock recovery file.
The problem is that im trying to find the samsung's stock firmware (4.1.2).
i found these over at sammobile.com :
Country/Carrier Date Android PDA CSC Download Unlock Info
Cyprus (Cytamobile Vodafone) 2013 January 4.1.2 I9300XXELLA I9300OXXELL1 Download Unlock Info
Cyprus (Cytamobile Vodafone) 2012 December 4.1.2 I9300XXELL4 I9300OXXELK4 Download Unlock Info
I don't know if these are the correct ones please advice. Also which of them i should use in case these are the correct ones?
Furthermore from what i understand and correct me f i am wrong , these firmwares appear to have some kind of simlock on them ?
My phone was bought from the specific carrier as shown above (cytamobile vodafone) but the phone doesn't have any kind of simlock on it so im not sure that the above 2 links i found are correct.
im looking forward for your help
thank you

you ain't having a nandroid from your original ROM?
If not, choose the most up-to-date one for your carrier, phone and region and flash it, that's it I guess.
Remember though, to reset counter (if it is not still 0), if you want to send it back to service.

If you got a nandroid and you want to go back to stock, why not flash this one?
As your link shows, ELLA is newer than ELL4

What is the reasoning behind you wanting to go back to stock?
Hi guys.
I flashed a new ROM on my SIII, the stock Vodafone PT rom.
But in a certain moment, I have to change the CSC, and for that I need the app CSC Changer.
I installed CSC Changer, but in the app, it appears many CSC's, but not the one I want (TCL).
How can I sucessfully change my CSC to TCL?
It's the ROM's fault?
Sorry for my bad english.
Cheers

*#272*IMEI# (eg. *#272*16546845451#)
to see your IMEI see your settings or dial *#06#
NOTE: Changing your CSC will factory reset your device.
App from market doesn't include any CSC code. It's simply using Stock CSC changer called Preconfig.apk and your ROM must be MultiCSC in order to change it.
We have new ***Sticky - CSC Collection*** Check it out
Hi.
Using the *# code shows exactly the same CSC's.
I don't have my phone rooted, how can I do ?
Cheers.

To be clear, you want to change your CSC to TCL but you don't want to root your phone and your CSC is not included in ROM you're using at the moment? Correct? If so, you need to get yourself right ROM from www.samsung-updates.com or www.sammobile.com and flash it with Odin. Later on, you'll get OTA or Kies updates but only if there are any.
Yes, that's correct.
But I already downloaded two VodafonePT (TCL) roms, and there are no signs of TCL CSC..
Cheers.
Mate, I don't know what you want.. If you Must have CSC-TCL, then use Odin and install one of those Vodafone ROMs, that's it.
No other way to change CSC for you.
Installing right now,
Will update soon.
Hi everyone... I got a similiar problem with CSC and maybe someone can help me.
My original S3 is using I9300XXELLA_I9300VFGELL3_OMN fw... earlier i flashed it (after a hard reset) with the english fw, I9300XXEMB5_I9300OXAEMB5_BTU. Now kies says I have a KOR csc (shouldn't it be BTU?) and that i won't be able to upgrade the fw in the future.
But this isn't the problem, I can always update with Odin. Problem is that if i ever have to use warranty, i'll have to flash back the original firmware... and when i'll do so, will i get back the OMN csc or i'll still have it set to KOR?
Thanks in advance for your help.
All working.
Thanks :=)

You dont have to change the CSC, just flash an unbranded EUX rom.
DTM is, where the phone was activated, if i remember it right.
If i flash a orignal EUX Firmware.
I still have waranty and the status is official ?
Should i go with Odin ?

Use this tool to get your phone's supported CSC list (under ADB commands tab). Then in the main tab you can change your CSC.

I bought my phone in Vietnam, but live in Israel and preferred to have my local CSC. I don't know if I could use VoLTE or WiFi Calling without changing it.
And yes OEM Unlock is an option for me under Developer Options.
Since different people are asking different questions, let me post what I know and can help you.
1. You are trying to change CSC from A to B which belongs to same model, can be easily done using SamFW tool or you can also try Samsung shell exploit from S22 forums.
2. U to U1 can be cross flashed using patched odin, which will change csc too.
3. If you are trying to do cross flashing means your model no doesn't match the model no of CSC you want to have like XAA to INS then sorry it's not possible.
