[Guide] Changing CSC Galaxy Tab 10.1

Hi guy,
till Apple fights against Samsung the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not longer availe in Germany. We can oder EU-models but the CSC and region code isn't "DBT" to get right special apps.
So I started to solve the problem by myself. Lot's of result bei google doesn't work for me, so here are the steps I do to get right product code (also shown in KIES )
Before anything, I hope you have an /efs folder backup.
1) Root your device (how-to you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185 thanks djR3Z)
2) Download your CSC you would like to have from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163 thanks bloodrider)
3) Install RootExplorer from market to copy the CSC to /system/csc
4) Download TerminalEmulator from the market and install
5) Start TerminalEmulator and use the code from bloodrider (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163)
6) At this point you will get a list of all CSC also the one you added before. After that system will reboot an install.
7) After reboot connect you tablet to KIES an show which product code Kies get
Next step for me I flash an older firmware connected to KIES again an update to new version without get lost the new region code.
Do everything on your own risk, for me it works great.

You could also just download CSC Changer for Galaxy S from the Market.
Two clicks and you're done.

If the CSC is already there that could also be a solution, otherwise not

Use US bought Galaxy Tab in Germany
I have another question (sorry if this has been addressed somewhere already):
- A friend wants me to bring him the US WIFI version to Germany. In case of a warranty issue is it covered or is the are Samsung Europe group that would support it (cause its not sold in Germany?)
thanks a lot

Anyone with a nordic galaxy tab 10.1 3g from Telia that can tell me their original CSC? I can't seem to find the right on for that.

That is true but do you know what the CSC actually includes?
I don't think using the CSC from a different device is a good idea.
1. You would change the CSC Version to "I9000OXAJM1".
2. You would flash a different SW_configuration.xml
3. You would flash a different others.xml

Doesnt seem to work either. I still get "this blah blah blah" in kies.
XEE for nordic countries and KG7 version (I know the local on in the stores had this)

Figured it out. To get stock on your nordic GT7500 from Telia do:
1. Get the KG9 firmware from samfirmware.com
2. Flash it
3. Down load the scs switcher from the market, just do a search for samsung scs. Or click
4. Change CSC to NSE
5. Done - you can update to KI1 over kies.

Sent you a PM.
Maybe someone else would like to know the answer my question, Did you still have root and CWM after flashing stock rom, and isent the local SCS nee for denmark ?

Thought I answered it?
Anyway, yes you'll lose root, but it takes 1 min to get it back. After kies is done. Go into download mode and flash clockwork recovery from Odin. Then just push root from there, works like a charm. You can find the root flash thread somewhere in this forum. Pm if you need morehelp then that.
About csc, I thought NEE was Danish as well, but Kies refuses to accept that csc. You'll get some Swedish bloat ware after flashing. Easily removed by root explorer or titanium backup.

The changing of CSC is only temporary because after flashing a new firmware, maybe from europe, you will get the original CSC from the image

Nobody said its not temporary, so whats your point?

Is it possible to change my CSC code on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G from NSE to NEE?
I would like to get the nordic firmware for my tab rather than the Telia one, because Telia has a lot of stupid programs with the firmware I can't use, or would like to use.

Thanks for the guide. I can't find the CSC for Hong Kong, anyone know?

Yes, you can. But you'll need Root and the CSC application from the market. If that fails, just follow what I did on the main page and pick NEE afterwards, then it should update to 3.2 OTA.

How to check which CSC I have in ICS?

Hey there,
As topic, I recently flashed the first ICS for my phone (Slim CSC) and I can't find anyway to do this at all!
I've googled around, searched here, no code from the dialpad shows the CSC version (which previously was achieved with *#1234#), the "About Phone" doesn't show it neither, etc.!
So... I'd like to flash a new CSC but I want to be sure first:
1) Which one I have
2) That the new one is flashed OK
About this... would be OK to flash a regular CSC (the one from the recently XXJW4) via Oding, or I'd still need a CSC "adapted" for CM7/CM9, as with the modems for ICS?
Thanks!

Great question since I'm currently on Slim and it appears my CSC is set to KOR when I tried to go back to stock. I'd like to know how to check it and how I can change it if possible.

Anybody? If this is possible, then it probably is very easy.
If not... then maybe it's impossible to see which CSC is currently flashed?

IIRC, only stock Samsung roms use CSC-file (flashed via Odin)..MTD based roms function differently. Can't really say proper answer to your question..hm..and why you need some CSC info etc? For me every play store app is available (I think so), etc...

Thanks, I just want to have flashed the latest OK CSC for me since I've recently went to the ICS world of CWM flashing (instead of Odin), just to leave the CSC perfect with Oding for the last time.
I didn't know that only stock used CSC? If so, is there a way to "erase" previous CSC, since I now will be using modded ICSs?
Thanks!

When installing ics (like CM9), it well re-partition and format your phone, so there won't be any trace of previous Samsung rom. This is made because of the different flash layout (BML vs MTD). You'll find more info by searching this forum if you're interested.

[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

[Q] Question about flashing a different stock GB, urgent

I had the XXLA6 2.3.6 version of GB for my region (Serbia-Telenor) and I wanted to switch to
N7000XXLC1---------2.3.6-------2012 March----------N7000OXALC1-----------Open Europe----------------------------- Download (wipe)
Which I did. Now, I switched to the XEU(Open Europe) CSC and I'm wondering. Since there's no more TOP or MSR in the *#272*IMEI# menu (which are connected to my country - Serbia), will everything on the phone work as usual (3G, EDGE) if I just keep it on XEU instead of reverting to TOP?

Yes probably it will. I have used foreign CSC's many times and never noticed any difference.

So I flashed to the firmware I named above. My original one was Serbia(Telenor) XXLA6. Now KIES is saying that my phone doesn't support updating over KIES, as well as changing to XEU didn't help the update to ICS appear. Is there a way out of this, or am I doomed to flashing back to the firmware I originally? Both are unrooted, of course, I just switched to a different stock because mine didn't have the XEU CSC

Well why didnt you say it was ICS you were after.
Just flash a suitable ICS version then. Like XEU.

I'm afraid of the whole Odin+ICS process, sadly, so I went step by step.
I switched to the CPW CSC and right now it's downloading the ICS update. In case I don't like the LQ2 ICS, can I just download any other, like LP8, LPF and flash them instead? Or is it too dangerous to do whilst being on an ICS already?

Well do a factory reset while you are still on GB. And I think LQ2 will be just great.
Ps. Dont be afraid of Odin. In my opinion kies is far more unreliable.

Flashed the UK version of LQ2 and at start it FC'd a lot, even the phone setup process hanged, so I risked and did a Factory Reset. Now everything works perfectly, phone is way more faster than the old Gingerbread, lock screen is super responsive, Swype works a lot faster too and doesn't break up the fast swipes like GB used to do. In one word, awesome.

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
