CSC Code

Hi, im new to this flashing firmware etc. I have flashed my firmware to I9300XXBLG8 (4.0.4) but i did not change my CSC code. My current CSC code is TTT. Should i change it to BTU? What is the significance of the CSC Code? (bought my phone in Brunei Darussalam).

I flashed my firmware previously because my build version was a brazilian based one and therefore the updates were slow. Does changing the CSC code to BTU mean that i will get the software updates when the UK firmware version has an update? Does this make a difference?

Thank you for your advice.
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
I'm not 100% certain as I always have it enabled anyway but as far as i know it can lead to errors when using odin if debug isn't enabled.

My recommendation is flash LG8, cf root, then use Mobile Odin from there on out.
[Galaxy S III General] zkieal51:
stock UK's rom have korean language or not???
[Galaxy S III General] Silentchild:
You can use either and change CSC later by *#272*IMEI# and select XME for malaysia.

Thank you

Hiya

i am new to the XDA and just wanted to say thank you for keeping people updated with the newest Firmware.

Until yesterday I had my phone rooted and then decided to unroot but picked up bad firmware from somewhere else and my phone was basically a

very expensive paperweight.

I used the newest Firmware of your list and got a working phone again :laugh:

I have one question though: My binary counter is 0 and my device status is normal, but when I plug the phone into Kies i got the message that this phone is not supported by Kies Firmware update. Any ideas? Do i have to update through Odin from now on?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

I just got my S3. It was simlocked on Vodafone Romania and I use and Orange Romania SIM. I live in Romania and the SIM i will be using will be the Orange Romania SIM.

I flashed XXBLFB, rooted and applied the voodoo simunlock and reverted to stock (also reset the binary counter). System update did not report any updates for my phone so I flashed XXBLG8 but the simlock appeared again so I went back to XXBLFB with simunlock.

The CSC of the phone is KOR and Kies reports that the phone is not supported. I managed to change the CSC using the *#272*IMEI# method from KOR to BTU and received the OTA for XXBLG8 but simlock was still there. When I was using BTU CSC, Kies did not say that the phone is not supported like it did with KOR CSC.

Now I reverted to stock XXBLFB, no root, unlocked with voodoo simunlock and with KOR CSC.

What CSC do you recommend me for future use, for when the simlock issue will be solved? Will I receive future updates on KOR CSC considering that the latest update now is still XXBLFB and that Kies says the phone is not supported?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
Oh and i forgot

I forgot to say that I have changed my CSC to BTU.

And overall can i still do OTA?

Thank so much

*#272*IMEI# = factory reset ?
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
Hiya,

yes it does, coz i just did that to change my CSC to BTU.
[Galaxy S III General] tosacu:
Yes, changing CSC does factory reset.

Okay so I want to try another flash of this ROM. When you guys say "Full Wipe", what do you mean? I'm pretty sure I did exactly what was done in this video and yet I got those problems that I mentioned (Lockscreen freeze etc.) a few pages back.
[Galaxy S III General] Ludolf71:
With full wipe it means a factory reset. A deletion of all your configuration and files. It brings your phone back to the state it was when you got it.

I guess it will help you.

Hi, I use this rom, I tried the kernel, but I decided that the best kernel is the original one, now to return to the original, just install the kernel with odin or should I reinstall everything, losing my data? Thanks for reply
[Galaxy S III General] neofral:
i also tried some other kernels and decided that the original one on this thread is the best. just flashed via ODIN and everyrhing seems to be OK :)
[Galaxy S III General] Ludolf71:
No need to wipe data, unless you run into problems.
[Galaxy S III General] Razyre:
Okay, so I've factory reset using both the method in the video and then via the phone.

Sdcard files are still showing which is strange. Is there anything else I should do before flashing?
[Galaxy S III General] Ludolf71:
Factory reset does not erase your sdcard. You can format it from the settings menu if you want to, but should not be necessary.
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
It depends what recovery u do factory reset from.

Factory reset from cwm does NOT erase ur sd card.

Factory reset from stock recovery DOES erase ur sd card.
[Galaxy S III General] Razyre:
Just flashed again, before I can even do anything - lockscreen glitch.

There is obviously something I'm doing wrong that someone hasn't told me in enough detail.

I've followed that video to the letter, my ROM is still messed up. Could someone please explain to me what I need to do to fix this glitch? Everything is stock (Other than the CWM root - from SGS3 Toolkit), using the ROM from this thread.
[Galaxy S III General] yangkwong:
I have a question …… can i restore data / setup use nandoid backup after change the CSC ?

Many thanks !!

Hi, guys! Which non-Branded ROM is the newest for now? Should i flash XXLG8, LG9 or LG3?
[Galaxy S III General] watsa:
I am not sure but Lg8 or Lg9 are same but the build no. They have same CL. Both are unbranded. Depending on you region you can flash either
[Galaxy S III General] mario06:
Inside the phone settings find reset to factory settings and make sure you tick erase sdcard.

Then boot into recovery and do a wipe user data, wipe cache and then wipe dav cache.

Now you can flash the phone

After flash the LG8 firmware, all saved contact name cannot show on the history & dialing screen (when dialing), just show the number, anyone got the same problem before ? :(
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
Hiya

try and do a factory reset, that helped me when my phone got stuck after flashing LG8.
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Yes, I had the same problem. To fix tis issue. Open each contact and make a change to the phone number. Any change will do, for example you can add a country code in all your numbers. To do this faster you can do this on your computer instead of your phone, just go to Gmail / Contacts. (You must be synced with Google account.)

There is another problem that I was not able to solve. I posted it here -> Cannot change contact pictures after LG8 update.

Anyone got ideas how to fix this?

Hi,

I just got my S3. It was simlocked on Vodafone Romania and I use and Orange Romania SIM. I live in Romania and the SIM i will be using will be the Orange Romania SIM.

I flashed XXBLFB, rooted and applied the voodoo simunlock and reverted to stock (also reset the binary counter). System update did not report any updates for my phone so I flashed XXBLG8 but the simlock appeared again so I went back to XXBLFB with simunlock.

The CSC of the phone is KOR and Kies reports that the phone is not supported. I managed to change the CSC using the *#272*IMEI# method from KOR to BTU and received the OTA for XXBLG8 but simlock was still there. When I was using BTU CSC, Kies did not say that the phone is not supported like it did with KOR CSC.

Now I reverted to stock XXBLFB, no root, unlocked with voodoo simunlock and with KOR CSC.

What CSC do you recommend me for future use, for when the simlock issue will be solved? Will I receive future updates on KOR CSC considering that the latest update now is still XXBLFB and that Kies says the phone is not supported?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
U have 2 choices here...

1. Stick to LFB and Use BTU csc but don't update when u get notification.

Or

2. Flash LG8 and when u get simlocked, use the fix posted on xda by Mike1986. But future updates could simlock u again without a fix.

Hi again, something weird just happened, I downloaded the latest BLG8 from samfirmware thinking that it will have the updated baseband version from today's ota update for BLG8, but after flashing it using Mobile Odin pro I still have the same baseband as before. Also I choose wipe data cache and dalvik on mobile odin but after flashing and rebooting the phone all my data was still there... :confused:

Is it possible that the latest BLG8 from samfirmware is the same from the OP of this post and not the one with the baseband update from today??

Is this really true?

I live in Oman and my SGS3 came with the XSG ROM. I have used both the NEE ROM and now the LG8 BTU ROM. No issues using the phone on the network with either ROM. And I haven't needed to fiddle around with APN settings as these are stored on the SIM card.

Before my SGS3, I had first an iPhone 3GS and then the 4. Apple releases only one version of the ROM for any iPhone model. They don't have different versions for different operators or countries.

Call and Contacts screen

So I applied I9300XXBLG8 from Sammobile and did a full wipe/reset via Mobile ODIN. Restored all apps and settings from Titanium Backup. Everything seems OK except the colours on the call and contact screen look different - bright grey dotted/matted background behind contact picture/icons in the call screen and similar in contacts app over some of the UI (except its matted blue).

Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas how to fix it? Other than this, everything seems fine.

EDIT: Ah solved it, maybe! The difference in app contact screen is a result of my G+ not syncing contacts details. Still maybe noticing differences in colour etc. as mentioned above but I could be imagining it.

I guess yes... The new one's baseband is LH1

Edit: just one question to those who know...

I flashed the BLG8 firmware from UK downloaded from checkfus so it's the latest one with LH1 baseband included, so when I type *#1234# on the dial pad to check everything is fine, it shows me this from the screenshot

See that it says CSC BLG8, but if I turn off the phone and enter stock recovery (volume up-power-home button combination), it says that the csc is KOR

:confused:

so I'm confused... Was the installation successful or something is wrong? What is that KOR csc?? Shouldn't it be BLG8 as showed when I type *#1234# on the dial pad??

Thanks a lot for the help!!

Hi I had this so what i did was *#272*your IMEI code# select BTU then install, this does wipe your phone, however when done it will be set to the UK version of CSC. and you will be able to update by Kies next time.

as for KOR not sure may be Korean???
[Galaxy S III General] Aerys:
Exactly.
[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
Ok, thanks but I don't want to change my csc cause I will never update the phone using Kies, what I need to know if it is right that on stock recovery it says applying multi csc and then csc applied successfully "KOR" after installing the firmware, but when I type *#1234# on the dial pad it says BLG8 under CSC. I just need to know if the installation was successfully or if something went wrong and that's why I have different csc on recovery and on *#1234#

[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:

[Galaxy S III General] abubasim:
Each ROM offer one or more CSC codes. If your phone's CSC doesn't match any of the ones in the ROM, it will default to KOR.

Just change it with *#272*IMEI#
[Galaxy S III General] OXINARF:
No, KOR and BTU are regions (I call them codes), but they are different ones. Since your phone didn't came with BTU region installed it defaults to KOR when you install a UK firmware.
