When I plug my phone to the computer it connects to Kies but it comes up with this message.
The phone was bought from Handtec UK they seem to have bought these from Poland and the startup language is Swiss.
The firmware on the handset is not region coded that's why Kies does not update the phone eg the firmware number should have (xeu) or (dbt) (specific to region for eg dbt is for germany) after it specifying the region, this one doesn't.
I'm going to send mine back as I don't want to root this phone.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Same here. But i thought an update would be available later?
Dont worry friends. When update for galaxy note is available in your region, ur installed version of KIES will be updated to support the upgrade. Theres nothing wrong with your devices.
Are on a Mac? The OSX version of Kies doesnt support firmware upgrades.

I don't think so, when there is no update it usually says you are on the current firmware.
this is a problem with the region coding. These devices don't have a region code ID suffix. For eg: XEU, DBT, XXF, ROM. These basically tell Kies what region the device is from. If that is missing there is no way Kies can update cos it will not understand what region the device is from. I think I'm right, pls correct me if I'm wrong
Thank you.

I agree. Seems to be another message than "you have tha latest firewire". I dont think anyone with a polish phone can use kies. But then again; l'm a complete noob when it comes to kies.

Um. I have a Handtec Polish Note.
Kies gives me the "Your device does not support software upgrading by Kies" message.
Doing a *#272*imei#* (Display/change CSC code) displayed region KOR.
I changed it to XEU but no go, just made my phone hard reset.
Device still unsupported.
Maybe it won't work in Australia.
This won't matter in the long run.
Success.

So root is the only way? we are f*ucked!

I changed the CSC Code (kies wont allow you to upgrade if you have KOR code, as this is the generic one and it is not linked to any region)
Just type type in *#272*IMEI# in your dialer (IMEI=your IMEI number)and it will come up a menu to choose the CSC.
I choose DBT (Germany) and after that was able to update via Kies.
NOTICE THAT CHANGING THE CSC CODE WILL RESET YOUR TERMINAL AND YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA (factory reset).

Hello,
I bought a Galaxy Note almost 2 months ago and I have a question about CSC.
The Note is KKA KK5 KK5 having XEF (France) CSC.
I tried to access *#272*IMEI# and I am able to change to whatever CSC I want (multi csc).
I know that if I change it, it will hard reset. My question is if updating then via OTA or Kies, the update service will understand I need first a Wipe Rom and then an incremental update (if any)?
Or I must flash it via Odin an official Rom to align CSC and PDA+PHONE?
Do that invalidates my guarantee?
Thanks in advance!

Flashing stock Roms via Odin will not invalidate your warranty.
If you change your CSC you will be getting normal OTA/Kies updates for the country you set.
Huh. I did that on mine to see what mine is set to and I get an error that says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"?

Ok, but even if after factory reset I'll get a KKA/KK5/KK5 e.g. DBT or AUT...
It will understand to update to the first Wipe rom of DBT or AUT region?

changing CSC
but remember if u change the csc it should be equal to the rom u use, or u wont get the updates trough KIES.. if ur CSC dont match the installed ROM then KIES wont reqonise your phone and u wont be able to update via KIES

So you all confirm that changing CSC does not let the phone to automatically get updates for the associated country, but it is necessary to manually put a stock ROM via Odin matching one of the existing couples (Rom, CSC)?

My phone has the xtc csc with no voice assisted google maps navigation. Is it based on the CSC or where I'm physically located?
I am unsure. I know my unlocked came with a CSC code for the UK but Google Maps Navigation works there so I am not sure.
Honestly I would say you might be best just making a back up of your phone and trying it. If it does not work change your CSC back to what you have now that you know works.
I will go out on a limb and say that I have not read anything from anyone saying changing their CSC stopped any google services that operate in the country that they live in. This could be from picking up your IMEI number or the carrier (IE ATT will not be found in China).
Best of luck.

I installed a rooted rom on my s3 mini and all was good. I then installed a csc changer to check what my csc was, when I seen it was SEB I changed it to BTU because I am in the UK. But when the phone rebooted the csc was "unknown" and the csc changer was showing it blank. My problem now is that I have all my back ups on Kies which now will not see my phone. I have searched, found and tried many solutions to this all to no avail. I tried the original SEB unrooted rom, still csc unknown, I tried various rooted roms and none would let me change the csc no matter what app I used. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

try to reflash your ROM with odin as "CSC" not as "PDA" then it should show your right csc code again.

I had this exact same problem when I flashed rooted XXAMA2. All i got was CSC:unknown. Couldn't change it with csc changer.
I had to go back to stock recovery and then flash firmware again with Odin, then I could set right CSC.

Has anyone a link to stock recovery? I´m in a hurry, sorry mates... wanted to get my wife´s S§ mini back to working but nothing helped until now.. will give it a try with the stock recovery and reflashing a Sammy ROM. Sammy ROM´s not a problem, but where can I get that recovery only?!

Thanks a LOT, mate!! That´s what I was looking for
Downloaded modem, stock recovery and TWRP now. Unfortunately I couldn´t get the modem back to be shown as it is (after a ROM update modem changed to XXXX ....... since then IMEI was working though, calls were working too but no mobile internet connection) but mobile internet seems to work again now, too... Very curious so far.
Restoring EFS didn´t work but maybe it will work now as CSC is changed back to DBT now or so.. Sometimes flashing Sammy ROMS as PHONE instead of PDA does work (read that in another thread in here).
Thanks again for your help and have a nice evening!
Cheers!
give me some intructions please , what i do exactly (same problem csc unknown ,no mobile data/internet..)

Well the problem is partly solved.. I flashed stock recovery, stock ROM and that modem you can find in tys0n´s signature. Mobile internet is working again but modem still shows XXXX - weird thing ^^
Give it a try in that way. As it seems this is a possibility to get your device working again.
I´ll continue trying and if I find a way to solve it finally I´ll let you know.

Hello,
I had a Galaxy S3 Mini i8190N with Android 4.1.2 (AUT).
But this version haved some problems, and i've found Android 4.1.2 (DBT) from april 2013 and just flashed this ROM.
But now says SAMSUNG KIES i don't can't see you're firmware version and Samsung update can not accepted the rules for checking updates.
Now i see that my CSC code is (KOR/Uknown) and not DBT.
How can i set this good? My phone is 100% original, i only just flashed the version from DBT beacause my calling problems and saw that this one was newer!
My phone is not rooted.
Sorry for the bad english.
Greetz,
Marco
PS: The ROM is downloaded from SamMobile en just fashed with ODIN v3.04

I'm from Brazil, here we use the ZTO CSC, but this file is ARO/ZTO/ZTA. Every time i flash the files on ODIN i got ARO active on the phone, not the ZTO. I have both sims to be brazilian operators (ZTO) but it still gets ARO active.
Somebody have any solutions for this?

Are you using the CSC_OYM or whatever it is called in the firmware pack instead of the HOME_CSC at time to flash it through Odin?.
Formatting data via stock recovery prior to go to Odin and then flashing the proper firmware including the proper CSC file to clean all the remanent carrier traces may solve it, I think.
Yes

Yes! I did Just that but without success, I think the code way (*#272...) Will work only with personalized csc, multi csc wont work too
