Pretty simple this... ClockworkMod images that allow you to change the CSC region configured on your device. Handy if your ROM has installed a region other than your own and you want to switch for Samsung Apps etc. Simply download and flash via ClockworkMod. This is for KG6 ROMs.
CPW (UK & Ireland Carphone Warehouse) - DOWNLOAD
DBT (Germany) - DOWNLOAD
ITV (Italy) - DOWNLOAD
KOR (Korea / Test) - DOWNLOAD
XEF (France) - DOWNLOAD
XEO (Poland) - DOWNLOAD
XEU (UK & Ireland Generic) - DOWNLOAD
Enjoy!

Thanks for this.. Would certainly be handy.
A quick question though, normally changing CSC codes mean wiping the phone, so is it safe to assume flashing this over will wipe, or does it simply allow you to change CSC codes the vanilla way when before you couldn't.
thanks for sharing
Paul.. Can I know which one can I use for Singapore?

Did a quick search, XSP/XSO is supposed to be the one you need (XSP = Singapore unbranded/generic, XSO = Singtel specific). But it's not available here (or @ intratech's relevant thread). Maybe you can flash one that seems more suitable for your region. Take a look at the following:
XEF - France (Orange F, F SFR, BOUYGTEL, NRJ (SFR), Virgin, Tele2, Auchan, Carrefour, NRJ (ORANGE), Orange (340 01), Orange (647 00), Debitel, Leclerc, Digicel)
XEO - Poland (Plus, Era, Heyah, Orange, Play)
XEU - UK & IRE (O2 UK, Orange UK, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Vodafone UK, TESCO, BT Mobile, H3G, Asda, O2 IRL, Vodafone IE, Meteor, H3G IE, Tesco Mobile Ireland)
KOR - Korea (SEC Test)
ITV - Italy (TIM, Vodafone, WIND, H3G)
DBT - Germany (T-Mobile D, Vodafone.de, E-Plus, o2 - de)
CPW - UK & IRE (O2 UK, Orange UK, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Vodafone UK, TESCO, BT Mobile, H3G, Asda, O2 IRL, Vodafone IE, Meteor, H3G IE, Tesco Mobile Ireland)

Thanks paul. Its will come handy
Apologies for not adding the country codes yesterday, I was in something of a hurry as it was getting late.
Thanks phunkycow for the reply, i've also added them to the first post now.

CPW carphone warehouse is probably the best CSC for UK and Ireland as it has most if not all the networks in it . ( bar giffgaff)
jje
Just to clarify this is applying the /csc subdirectory so your device knows which CSC it is, it doesn't include any extra apps or anything else applied with the CSC.

Actually this is a bit not precise, because these codes are for unbranded phones (but i think not all even).
Take a look at this
This is more comprehensive, there was once a list on xda of these, I think on the I9000 forum. These codes don't change between Samsung's phones (example are two polish carriers with codes IDE and ERA first is called Orange for a feeew years now and the second is T-Mobile)

Actually the list i posted comes originally from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779580 which is a lot more comprehensive but the info is the same.
Anyway, if you find a better/more accurate list please do post it. All I did was just a quick search so I wouldn't swear on it.

BTW, nice to see you here Paul

i bought my Galaxy S II from handtec and when i checked the CSC code it was set to TPH = PORTUGAL and no XEU code is available, how can i have XEU in the CSC settings, also i'm on KE2 and when i connect the phone to kies i can't update it to KE7 (getting the message that i have the latest code!) why is that and does it have to do with CSC.
sorry guys this is my first android device and i learning a lot. i appreciate you help in advance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
KE7 is not on Kies server for your product code yet .

It may be worth contacting Handtec and asking why the phone you bought from (for the UK market presumably) has a Portuguese CSC code. I wonder if they took delivery of an allocation intended for Portugal. Interesting to see how many others from Handtec (or other retailers for that matter) have handsets with non EU/UK codes.
i got the same from handtec (ordered from australia):
PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KDJ / CSC:KE2 (TPH)

HIDSWVER = I9100XWKE2/I9100OXXKE2/I9100XXKDJ/I9100XWKE2
Prod Code = GT-I9100LKATPH
can i change these in order to be able to grab the latest firmware?
Been having a few problems with redraws and then my internet wouldn't open at all even after reset,it was like it had vanished,then i was getting loads of freezes and you couldn't open phone as swipe wasn't working
So received my new phone from O2 but it has a different firmware than my old one
My old one had
Base Firmware: I9300XXALE8 (4.0.4)
Region Europe
Country: United Kingdom
My new one has
Base Firmware: I9300XXALEF (4.0.4)
Region Asia
Country: Sri Lanka
Any reason why i have a asia variant phone ?
You need to ask O2 that question as its not normal .

Does it make any difference what region firmware is on phone ?

No as long as you dont mind not getting UK updates and can cope with the language and the modem actually works in the UK .
Me i would return as not fit for purpose .

Just got off phone with O2 and they confirmed firmware was indeed Asia lol they are exchanging phone again and notifying warehouse that they have Asian units.
I have asked them to send a pebble blue phone out instead of white one
Just got new pebble blue galaxy and guess what ! it has same firmware as above
Base Firmware: I9300XXALEF (4.0.4)
Region Asia
Country: Sri Lanka
Hey all,
I currently own a white 16GB GT-I9300 with the stock ICS Vodafone New Zealand ROM loaded on it, the latest version available from my carrier. The phone was bought from Vodafone New Zealand itself and came with VFNZ firmware. My mother has fallen in love with the phone after trying it out once P) so I'm going to give her my marble white GT-I9300 to replace her iPhone 3GS and buy a blue GT-I9300 for myself.
The question I have is regarding the ROMs/firmware available for the new GT-I9300. The blue one I plan on purchasing is not direct from my local carrier, and it is listed as a parallel import, so I assume it'll either come pre-loaded with a ROM from a different foreign carrier, or the unbranded ROM.
I'd prefer to have the Vodafone NZ ROM on the device since it has all the carrier and access point settings, and I assume since this new blue model will also be the (international) GT-I9300 model, I am safe to flash the Vodafone NZ firmware onto it? I want definite confirmation if possible, before I go ahead and brick a new $860 phone.
I'm very new to Android (the GT-I9300is my first Android phone) and have only flashed+rooted twice, with stock firmwares using ODIN. I noticed each different carrier ROM has a differing set of numbers (PDA..? something else as well?), which I don't remember the names of. Does this have any effect on what ROMs my device is tied to using?
Thanks for any help.
PDA refers to the build version of the software/firmware
Phone refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
.tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
.tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
If this is the case you will need to put these .tar archives in the specific areas of Odin to flash the update. Refer to the images below.
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.
Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray! Kies doesn't like Odin, it's like the big brother who's always jealous that his little brother is getting to flash all the phones so he starts to flash block.
Regarding change logs. Samsung thinks firmware should be like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get and that all a big part of the surprise user experience program so they don't publish any change logs.
Get Odin v3.04 from here: Download https://androidfirmwares.net/Tools/Download/8
Just extract the Odin folder.
You will also need to install the Samsung USB drivers for the device if you haven't installed KIES. Get them from here: Download
Just install like any Windows program....

Hi all,
I would like to go back to stock rom but before i do i seek some education
So looking for stock rom for Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 (SM-A320FL) and I found a few websites and they all show something like:
Supporting Versions
A320FLXXU1AQA6 COS Greece Cosmote
A320FLXXU1AQA6 OPT Portugal Optimus
A320FLXXU1AQA6 FTM France Orange
A320FLXXU1AQA6 XEU Europe
A320FLXXU1AQA6 BTU United Kingdom
A320FLXXU1AQA6 ORS Slovakia
A320FLXXU1AQA6 OPV Orange Poland
A320FLXXU1AQA6 MET Ireland Meteor
A320FLXXU1AQA6 PLS Poland Plus
A320FLXXU1AQA8 3IE Ireland three
A320FLXXU1AQA8 O2U United Kingdom O2 and all other Models.
My question is, how important is that version and how important is the region? In my case i am UK and I am with O2 and my phone had previously the Oreo update from Samsung. Also linked to this i think i have seen custom roms that say they are based on russian base version.
Thx in advance
Hi all,
Tab S6 in my country is only limited to 128gb version, while I heavily rely on Lightroom mobile and sometimes need a lot of space for my raw files. This made me buy 256gb variant abroad.
My country code is XEO (Poland) and my device was bought in Germany (DBT). Is there an option to change CSC (including paid programs) to do this?
Of course I have tried Odin and XEO firmware, but it turns out that it's multi-csc and always sticks to original DBT. I have also tried *#272# code and flashing with SIM card in and out, but CSC always stays DBT.
Any of you had any luck?
Anyone out there? I am interested in this as well - I have the international version and am in the US on TMB but have a CSC indicates I am in Poland. I worry that I am not getting timely updates - I hear than TMB has updated to the Feb security patch and I'm still rocking the Dec '19 patch.
Same thing here as well. Got a T-865 XEF but I need DBT
The only effective method seems to use https://www.samkey.org/ through credits (for the TM-865 it asks for 6 credits (which for a single use it is better to buy on a site like ebay) then they send you login ( with the 6 credits) and if it allows, the change of CsC "THAT IS IN THE MULTIROM" is better before making sure with the Apk of Info SAM * INFO to see that CsC HAS the Rom installed, if the CsC of our choice is in The device, without problems, but if it is not available, it will not be possible unless before uploading the Rom + CsC to change.
After several attempts, and tutorials to change XEF / Fracia DBT / Germany, it seems the only method that works
It is necessary to respect the binary, to the case, the Hardware Asia, Europe, America, and not to put the Firmware of a container in another (it will not work) the ROMs of the Global version, EU in the EU and those of the USA in the USA and the from Asia to Asia
tool and "1 credit" even if I bought 6 as the official support page indicated to me when consulting about the SM-T865 LTE device
Original from France XEF it was impossible to change the Region Code for another of my interest DBT German because it is updated more frequently than the rest of the EU Global zone
PHE and XEF from Spain and France follow at the end of October 2020 with May patch while German DBT was updated twice in September 2020
The process turns out to be easier than usual
No need to even format the device in operation
Only with Phone * info you have to see the CSC available in the Rom available on the device and if the one of our choice DBT is already there in my case you can start
If the CSC is not present, it is when it will be necessary to Flashar before with a compatible Rom equal or higher in Binary and that contains the CSC to finally change
In Windows, which is where the SamKey software runs, you have to change the local language to US English unicode (it does not affect the local language of our pc
The code operation lasts only 4 or 5 minutes and as I say it does not erase anything from the device
Finally we have a CSC DBT / DBT / SIM1
The active CSC is the one that receives the HOTA from now on and from that moment receives update from Germany
Today it is the only reliable and efficient way
