Sorry guys, I know this is a really stupid question, and I have tried searching around, but I don't seem to understand what the importance of the CSC is?
My phone was originally from O2 on PAYG, and recently I updated it to KE7 using odin since O2's firmware wasn't out. I didn't do anything to change the CSC, but the debranding guides seem to recommend this. Does not changing my CSC to the XEU or whatever have any effect?
Currently Kies says my phone's CSC is KD1 (O2U). I tried using the *#1234# method to find out my phone info, but nothing comes up in the stock dialer when I enter it. The numbers simply disappear and nothing happens. Is this by any chance connected to the fact that I'm on generic firmware but didn't change the CSC?
CSC has an influence on the phone's product code, it's like the version of your firmware. Your product code and CSC will change when you debrand it to a generic firmware or any other firmware for that matter. So your CSC is most likely to be changed already, if it hasn't then do a system reboot by going in to recovery mode.
Does it matter that I haven't changed my CSC to match my generic firmware? Are there any compatibility issues in this situation?

CSC says in effect UK phone use UK settings + list of UK network providers settings .
There are no compatibility issues if it finds your network .
If it works leave it as it is .

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 .

I bought one of the pebble blue S3s from Negri Electronics. shipped with a UBALE6 firmware and Kies reports no upgrades available.
I decided to look at what CSC this phone is. I used *#06# to show the IMEI, then *#272*IMEI# and was shown a menu with the following items:
TDR
TTT * this was the selected option
VNO
I know I can change to a different CSC with this menu (though all data will be wiped :-/
But if no other options show up - like for a country with more frequent updates, how do I make that work?
Can I just flash a new multi-CSC firmware, then choose a different CSC? Does it matter?
Any assistance is appreciated!
Well, I took the plunge and installed this firmware:
XXALF2
Firmware Info
PDA: XXALF2
Phone: XXLF2
Date: 05/06/2012
Android Version: 4.0.4
All seems to be working at the moment, including packet data and voice calls.
I do need to do some further app testing, but *#1234# is returning a CSC code which I believe is a good sign.
I did search for some keywords that I thought would have answered my question before posting, but I guess I should have done more research.
Not had to deal with this before as my SGS2 was XEU CSC.

Which data gets wiped? Because I've heard changing the scs code gets ride of default bookmarks, is that true?
I'm not sure what data gets wiped. I only read it on blog posts I found when doing Google searches. Sorry!
I didn't change my csc code at all. Things seem to be ok for now :-D

I´ve just flashed i9300XXELLA and now I cannot make any calls or send text msgs. Whenever I try to make a call it tells me I´m not registered on a network. I went to "Mobile Networks", "Network Operators" and selected my carrier but I keep getting the same msg whenever I try to make a call. Everything else is workng perfectly.
Does anyone know which CSC I should be using in Brazil and how can I change mine?
Check your IMEI from the phone. Does it start with 00?
No, it doens´t start with 00. It starts with 35.
I´ve tried doing a *#272*imei# but nothing happened when I typed it into the phone dialer.
Can´t I just flash another CSC via Odin? If I can then how do I know which CSC to use?
I´ve found a CSC file for Vivo (my carrier) on this site http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneCSC3 but I have no idea if I can simply install it and if it will be compatible with my current rom.

CSC is not needed have you actually entered the network settings .
CSC see the CSC thread in the stickys .
Basically use CSC that came with the phone carrier .

Odd, I am in Australia and I flashed the Polish CSC to ensure I get updates on my S3 and I can make calls and everything... weird!

Ok, what I want to know now is if I can simply flash the CSC files for my carrier on a different ROM.
Can I install this CSC (ZVVALE6 ZVV VIVO Brazil) on i9300XXELLA?
Any CSC on any firmware .

so the imei matches the one on the box?
For anyone with the same problem, I´ve managed to fix the issue with this patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601
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?
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...
eu.community.samsung.com
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.
