Flashing CSC file - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was just wondering something. I'm going to install Gingerbread through KIES by spoofing NEE.
I was wondering if its possible to flash my own regions csc file later in the future with ODIN, when the Gingerbread firmware gets released here?
Or do I have to reflash the firmware entirely to get my own region back?

Your best bet would be to download one of the 3 file ODIN packages and flash using that but with the JVK Multi CSC, that's what I used to get XEU product code. Not sure what to do about any other regions but I know the JVK CSC contains multiple product codes.
Never tried simply flashing a CSC file, I should imagine if you did and it worked it would force a factory wipe anyway

Odin? You can use an update.zip via CWM and install your regional CSC via SGS Toolbox (for exemple).

Ok cool, thanks for the info.

But remember that flashing a new csc will wipe your data, so backup your apps with titanium first.

Are you sure with 2.3.3?
Yesterday, I've changed my CSC (Criskelo Custom Rom) and after reboot, no data wipe... Strange, isn't?

[Bell] Can I use a 2.1 CSC with for JPY?

I have a JH2 bell CSC file that I wish to flash to my JPY rom. Is this possible or do I need a 2.2 CSC file?
Can I just use Odin and flash only the CSC?
I did something similiar, info will tell you CSC "unknown" but my phone still worked!
Don't need to. In the past u need correct csc to get correct 3g frequency. Not necessary anymore. If u check phone info it will say csc unknown as it doesn't install it when u get that error. Recommend you go back and flash a complete jpy and change the csc to xeu after reboot . A missing csc can Cause all sorts of problems.

So how do I change this back? Do I just do the *#272*IMEI# and choose my product code, or do I have to flash a csc through ODIN?
Need to reflash entire jpy again with csc. Then put in code to change to xeu. Then flash modem separately

[Q] Update only CSC in DOc's Rom - How To??

Hello there guys. I have the following query. I have DDJP6 Froyo with DamianTGO kernel which includes ClockwordModRecovery inbuilt. Now i want to try XWJS3 Doc's Rom which i downloaded from Romkitchen.org . The issue is that the Doc's Rom downloaded with custom CSC and Modem(both India Specific) has an older CSC of DDJG4, which the stock Froyo CSC for India is DDJP5. Now if flashing Doc's Rom will bring the CSC back to JG4(which i think it will,, since it's the WIPE version), how do i update JUST the CSC back to JP5?? I do have the JP5 CSC file as a .tar file. Can i update just that using ODIN without re-partition and leaving Phone and Modem blank?? Or update it through CWM? But how do i make a tar file CWM zip compatible??
If the query, or anything similar has already been posted and answered, kindly give me the link for the same. Thanking you all in advance
Just flash the csc bit through ODIN and leave everything else empty.
Thank You Very Much

[Q] CSC keeps reverting to KOR

Any one has a suggestion as to why my phone keeps reverting to KOR csc?
I have tried flashing with both m-odin and PC Odin different csc's.
No matter what I do it ends up that Kies say firmware upgrade not supported.
PDA:LC1 / PHONE:LB2 / CSC:LB3 (KOR)
if you have flashed a multi csc file then you need to change the csc manually, flashing doesnt normally change it, the kor code is what mine defaults to

OK how do I do that then
But I think the issue I'm having is because I flashed the LPF bootloader. I have reverted back to STOCK LC1. I have search for ages but dont seem to be able to find a GB rom with old bootloaders. (this be completely wrong)
download csc changer fromthe mrkt, it sys it is for the galaxy s and s2 but works on the note, or google the code for changing it
here is how you manually change it
*#272*your IMEI number # then choose the one you want then tap install CAUTION IT WILL DO A FACTORY RESET

Updating problems (Stock GB to Stock ICS)

I recently went from custom ICS roms to stock gingerbread. I am having troubles trying to get the phone to update through wi-fi and Kies. When I try to update on the phone through wifi it says there is "no software update available". When connecting the Note with Kies it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". Anyone else had this problem?
The ROM I flashed via ODIN is:
N7000XXKK9 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXAKK9 -----------------Germany (Debitel) -------------------
I know I can just update via ODIN but I would like OTA updating to work.
Download OPEN Germany from three followinf link and you will have no issue with OTA
just flash 4.0.4 direct...since you are already on GB
do you need root? If so then instead flash the pre rooted GB rom on the same page... and yoi can use mobile odin then to wipe flash the 4.0.4 with everroot and supersu... That is what i would do...
Be sure to use a safe kernel if you plan on doing any wipes on ics

Well I forgot to mention that I did flash the 4.0.3 Open Germany version before. When I did that it still did not detect an update. Would that be fixed with the 4.0.4 version?
search preconditions for updating. Dont remember where I posted them, but of can comply to those it shouldnt be an issue

Well I read your preconditions and am not sure if I have everything correct. All I've done is flash the 4.0.4 stock ROM with Odin and still get the problem with Kies. Is there more I need to do?
why dont you keep updating via odin, Its faster then Kies.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
I'm currently trying to sell the phone and the buyer may not want to do it that way. Rather than through Kies, I'm hoping to just get updating through the phone to be working. But I could just tell them to update through Odin if no solution is found.
Anyone have a solution to this problem?
Go by them one by one and eliminate them. If you cant figure one out, then ask
preconditions for update ota/kies
No root(for ota it doesnt matter)
All codes intact (imei, pcode)
All components installed of same rom and version of rom that was distributed through Kies or ota.
Rom csc must match the installed rom. Most updates aren't available because for phone csc there is no update. This is the csc obtainable throught dialing *#06# for imei then dial *#272*yourimeihere#. Note changing csc triggers factory reset, so do from save kernel should you like to change.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
have you reset your counter binary ?
Okay, now I feel dumb. Guess every problem/fix isn't always so technical. Believe problem was the wrong country/region was selected on the Samsung agreement and hadn't changed until I did a factory reset.
Okay, so I guess that wasn't the problem. A Singapore ROM had just happened to work while the others did not.
Edit2: Dudes remember do resets wipes only on safe kernels... Best done from gb.
Edit: made a way that could work for yah. Checking preconditions with some of the how to is a must. It saves following procedure. Anyway if you get stuck, follow this advice.
A way to get updatability functional throught Kies/OTA.
Restore efs backup of condition when first bought phone.
If none made, root phone and make one now safe multiple locations. (of the phone)
Then, if you know csc phone came with, download a rom for that csc, earliest gb possible, one that was distributed throught Kies or Ota. See www.sammobile.com for that. it shows a kies logo next to the rom in the firmware section. That is the one we are looking for. Should have in the zipfile a single tar file.
Now get a standard pit file and flash throught pc odin the rom with the pitfile. See dr ketans thread in sticky section development for that on how to do it. Do this all without external sd card or simcard in phone, never select clear efs in pc odin.
If phone doesnt reboot head into recovery and factory reset and clear cache. Reboot. After phone reboot dial *2767*3855# for ultimate factory reset. Do not change anything to the rom, no cf or modded kernel or different modem. You will lose all data.
Now after this completes,
Check imei, check csc as described earlier. All intact and inline with rom? Good, if not, select the csc of the rom press instal and let phone reboot.
Now check pcode:dial *2767*4387264636# this should be same as rom, and filled in. Pcode correct? Good.
Now you dont have root, codes correct, and an updatable rom.
Hook up to Kies and or ota update it!
You might need to check with different versions of roms(preferably gb to be safe). I found some weren't directly updatable, dont know why.
Notes
If imei is gone, reflash efs backup,
If nulls on entry with keyboard select the tar file in pcodin in cache and flash)
If pcode different, you can change, but search on how to edit it on computer with hex editor. Pm me if this is the case. I hope not. In the end its easier to start over with a rom matching that pcode that is there and selecting the coresponding csc
ps I have done this multiple times, all based on experience and countless hours figuring out how to fix it so I have way back should I want to sell phone in working condition.
All at own risk, I am trying to help, but can't guarantee anything, what worked for me may not work for others

I have been able to update from kies 3 times now, but last release just doesn't work.
My original CSC was ZTA, then I changed it to DBT when it was on 2.3.5 (GB).
Kies let me update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 to 4.0.3, then to 4.0.4 (I am currently on XXLRK, CSC DBT).
Now, kies says:
Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current firmware version: N7000XXLRK/N7000DBTLRK/N7000XXLRK/N7000XXLRK (ZTA)
How does it know my device was originally ZTA?
Why have I been able to upgrade via Kies so far and last update Kies says I can't upgrade?
Thanks in advance.
Kies has an update of itself as well from time to time and it retains and detects your very original copy of your ROM in its system (before you change your csc to DBT- Germany?)
Comparing it with the initial(checksum) and with your latest ROM upgrade, KIES sees some anomaly on your latest ROM (since its not on the right tree path), therefore its telling you now, your latest ROM is not supported anymore.
You were able to fool the software before.. but it's not going to be fooled second time already. Either you can revert back to your original CSC and upgrade it again thru kies (on the right tree path) or the second option would be to use PC /mobile Odin from now on to upgrade (to the firmware/ROM of your choice).
Or you can clean install kies, take out all registry keys files etc. But thats to much hastle

yep that sucks good luck!
Kor is default csc for I think Asians rom, or Korean. If csc of phone is not present it defaults to a default csc in rom. Its funny.
Messed up many times. Be safe
You can select your choice csc rom tar file in cache in pc odin, flash and then its selectable, be on safe kernel or gb rom just in case

[Q] Stock Rom

Hi,
i notice after flashing my rom (stock rom).. via odin.. i am unable to use OTA or even Kies to upgrades my rom anymore..
is this normal?
it could be because the csc on the phone is not matching the csc of rom you installed. use *#272*IMEI# and select the correct CSC. this will WIPE the phone. so be sure to be on a safe kernel. If this code doesnot work, then use CSC changer from the play store ( root access required)
I tried your code... just out of curiosity, but why is it that nothing happens?
That code no longer works on JB. You have to use csc changer from play store. Be careful in doing csc change though. Be sure to be on a safe kernel to avoid brick. Better be safe than sorry.
