Hi Guys,
I have a meteor (ireland) carrier brand galaxy s2 csc is KD1(met).
I successfully flashed over the ke7 XEU firmware I found by searching these forums.
HOWEVER... after flashing... in kies I get the following message :
This version of the device cannot be updated.
I've read up more and found out that it is because the version of the CSC that I have does not match what kies would be expecting. In this case I would imagine it is a multi-csc XEU.
How should I proceed if I want to make this a full retail generic galaxy s2 that is correctly identified by kies ? Shoudl I reflash with the pda again and with a specific csc file (as I used to do on my older galaxy s 1).
Any advice is much appreciated.
thanks

Just flash with the XEU KE7 file. then do a factory reset for the CSC to change.
KE7 is the latest version for XEU so it will show as latest firmware
Its not the CSC its product code and other codes that may change .
Basic rule is ODIN flash = no upgrade via KIES .

Not the case mate. Odin flash and everything works normally if you're not changing CSC's for the device.
To the OP. Do a hard reset of the device and then flash the firmware again.
Thanks guys for the suggestions. I did a hard reset and reflashed however I still have the prob with the CSC being identified as KD1(met) , baseband XXKE4 and kernel XWKE7 which is fine... with the exception of the csc...
There was only a tar file in the firmware that i downloaded and extracted (which is expected). I remember with my older galaxy s 1 to change the csc I had to actually enter a code and manually change the csc to multi xeu...
Do i need to do something similar with the S2 ?
-- r1_2010
dunno if this help but you can change the CSC using this code after youve flashed
type this into your dialer - *#272*<your IMEI>#
and then select the one you need
Thanks I that but when the preconfig menu opens I can see a 'Sales Code' label beside a textbox , prepopulated with 'XEU' (correctly).
At the bottom of the screen there is an 'install' and 'cancel' options.
I click install but it gives the following error 'Must be THREE chars'
But I cannot edit the text of the sales code , select it or anything else (there is just XEU prepopulated in that text box).
Any more suggestions ?!
I must be missing something....
Ok I've tried flashing again and the same prob... Would our be worthwhile flashing ke2 XEU first and then going to ke7 ?!

All i can say is i know some say that but posts are littered with cannot update via Kies after stock flash.
On SGS1 and SGS2 i have failed to update any stock rom even with the original CSC in place and thats after many tries .

Hi im new to these forums as i have just bought a galaxy s second hand,
anyways the problem is when i connect it to kies to try and update the firmware it says the current firmware is: blank <as in nothing>
tried kies 1.5 and 2.0 same thing it picks up the phone but wont pick up the firmware,
im guessing somethings been done to this phone, all i want is the stock firmware and to be able to update in the future, nothing fancy. please help.
Find what version your stock firmware is and flash it with odin. You can download the firmware from samfirmware.

i dont know if this helps but it says
pda: i9000xxjpo
phone: i9000xxjpp
csc: unknown
build info: 2010, 10

now which one is my stock firmware and can this be updated via kies once ive done it through odin?
Stock firmware = basic unbranded unaltered firmware as supplied by Samsung .
Network firmware is above plus any network branding plus add on that the network have added .
So you have stock firmware .
now which one is my stock firmware and can this be updated via kies once ive done it through odin?
No if you use Kies it will look for the phones product code to update product code is tied to seller/network of original phone .
What is your product code .
Question has to be what do you want on your phone re firmware and are you willing to use flashing methods or not .
jje
thanks for the reply,
now how do i find the product code?
from what i know about the phone is that it used to be on vodaphone and is now sim free, the guy who sold it to me told me he had 2.3 on there but reverted it before selling, i dont see how he managed to do this using kies?
what i would like is to be able to update it through kies to 2.2.1 which is what my gf has on her phone, and make it readable for future updates, if i have to use flashing methods to achieve this then so be it, or is there another way if i can get the product code?

Enter *2767*4387264636# in your dialer.
Then there will be a line that says:
[2] PCode:"your phone model type"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628&highlight=Kies+Registry+Patcher
You are best to try above and see how you get on .
As its non stock firmware you may need to spoof the product details etc .
If the download of the firmware works take the opportunity to save the rom as in instructions .
jje
pcode: gt-i9000hkaxee
There is no such sales-code, just flash to the latest JPY and you are set..the phone you have has been flashed to Nordic firmware sales-code XEE at some point, the sales-code for Voda is GT-I9000HKDVOD or GT-I9000HKAVOD.
After flashing enter in phone-dialer the following: *#272*IMEI_NUMBER# and choose XEU.
9000 [Sweden] = GT-I9000HKAXEE
Product code for Sweden.

ok this is disappointing news, i am sorry i am really new to all this, but does this mean il never be able to update through kies, and will need to keep flashing to update the phone?
do i still try the kies registry patcher thing or forget about it?
Are you swedish in sweden or where what product firmware do you want .

Ofcourse you can use kies in the future, but after you have corrected the sales-code. You might be able to do it now, just enter *#272*IMEI_NUMBER# and try to see if you can choose XEU.
i am from the uk london to be exact, and i just wanted the latest kies firmware, like my gf has 2.2.1 i will try the code you gave me now and post back

Check the IMEI number under Settings>About phone>Status , see if it is correct. You must enter the number without slashes or spaces.

The latest Kies firmware for your phone is Swedish .
Kies reads your phone and servers sees Swedish product code and wrong firmware so it does not proceed .
Choice is one use Odin and put the latest stock non network Firmware on phone
problem will be its not going to update in the future via Kies as Kies will be trying to update the firmware thats Swedish .
two change your product code
three use Kies registry patcher to spoof your phone to a UK branded phone
same as one you wil not get a further update but need to spoof again .
Example current )2 uk firmware with very little branding/ad ons by O2 .

He did state that the phone was on vodaphone, GT-I9000HKDO2U is an O2 sales code, I did suggest XEU because vodaphone codes are GT-I9000HKAVOD or GT-I9000HKDVOD, in this case he has GT-I9000HKAXXX, and while changing the sales code only the last three letters would change. If he does change that to O2 code then it will change to GT-I9000HKAO2U then keis will not recognize the phone again, because there is no such sales-code.

My friend, download JPY from here: http://www.multiupload.com/UHJNT0K1F2 Extracting code is samfirmware.com
Flash using odin 1.7 : http://www.multiupload.com/JMBJGDN00I
Load the extracted tar file in odin as PDA and flash, after that enter the recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Use the images here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 as reference if you did not use odin before, but you must start odin, load the tar file as PDA and then put the phone on download phone before connecting the phone and flashing.
Entering download mode is by pressing and holding Volume down key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to download mode.
Entering recovery mode is by pressing and Volume up key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to recovery mode, navigate using Volume op/down keys and select using Home key.
Good luck..
Hello S3 Users, i`m the developer of https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector
As you know in the new XXELLA rom Samsung changed the security policy and there is no way to change the CSC without root permissions.
I made a new version that should do the work but it is still not on the market. I need your help to test if it working on all XXELLA roms and then i`ll update the market version. It is signed with the same signature so you can just update the old version with this one.
It will require root only if the normal way fails, remember that you need to have root and tick the checkbox
thanks, will try later,
I think it will be better if you move this thread to Apps and Themes Sub Section..Here it will get lost in the hullaballooo..
Awesome
Works perfectly in XXELLA
Thank you very much. Is seems to be worked on rooted XXELLA.
Have recently installed I9300XXELLA and its generally working well. I downloaded and installed your attached .apk and get the same error as the play store version:
"com.android.Preconfig not found on your device. Manual mode..."
Then displays *#272*0105# in the phone app.
I have not rooted the phone so cant check that.

the tool is invoking the built-in configurator for the CSC Select. It can`t change the csc by itself.
And yes.. the process of changing the CSC will always wipe data
Not working for me: I choose CSC, phone reboots and when restarts CSC is BTU, not the one selected...
Seems that it works like other tools and this one froem terminal window. One solution is to flash with CSC.XXX.zip with only one region and then run app and reboot - look at Perka thread

I have found out that for the multi CSC to be applied successfully, you have to be on stock recovery. I flashed CF auto root by chainfire and suddenly the CSC is applied successfully. Before that, the CSC just would not change.

Hi i hope someone can help me ive been searching for a day now and no solution was working. I flashed my s5 with CSC BTU to firmware from Poland XEO. I was trying to flash back firmware for UK as it was original and it did but CSC is still XEO i was trying flashing again using different tutorials and using root and app it reverts back to XEO as soon as i reboot device. Tried restore in KIES too and same story. I get message in Recovery mode like Manual mode apllying multi csc apllied the csc code XEO successfuly applied multi csc. And that happens all the time. Any solutions to that please?
Easy to sort flash the latest BTU then keep wiping cache partition then reset keep doing this until it changes to BTU it may take a few goes before it does change.
Done it like 15 times already and no change? Maybe im doing something wrong? still getting that manual mode setting csc to xeo. why the hell this is happening?!

How did you check for the CSC?
Can you use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app and show all info in the CSC INFO section?
(original CSC, firmware's CSC and active CSC...)
I had this problem too. Heres how i solved it.
Flash the 4.4.2 firmware you are reverting back to and factory reset. Once your phone is set up download and install towelroot supersu and csc changer. Follow the rooting process to root your phone as shown in other guides here. Once rooted use the app to change csc to BTU. your phone will then factory reset. Once booted again flash the firmware again and once again factory reset. You should now have back BTU CSC like i did last night. Hope this helps.
Hi, I have SM-910H with ACR CSC. I have tried flashing multiple Stock Roms but CSC does not changes. I have factory reset multiple times. Also I have tried below mentioned method multiple times but no avail. If anyone has been successfully change CSC on 910H without root, kindly help me out.
1. Run and configure Odin. Do NOT check “Re-Partition” and “Auto Reboot” check boxes.
2. Load the stock firmware in the PDA button.
3. Set the phone in download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power button). Then connect the phone in your computer.
4. Hit the “Start” button and then wait.
5. Once the flashing successfully completed. Do NOT let it reboot into the normal mode.
6. Reboot into recovery mode (Volume Up+Home+Power button).
7. See if it’s applying the CSC file then wait until it finishes and reboot.
8. If you do not see the CSC installation, instead choose the “Wipe data/Factory reset”. Then repeat flashing the stock firmware. You may then achieved the CSC code flashing the stock firmware on the second attempt.
10. Confirm the CSC code by using Kies 3 or by downloading Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and see if the CSC code has changed.

Thanks for the advice. I can try that. Can you point out any 910H firmware that is single CSC. Also can you tell how to check from downloaded firmware that it is whether single CSC or multi CSC.
I used to flash Singapore rom when I was facing problem like u r facing but i don't know about your model, there was a thread in note 3 forum mentioning this.
Note 3 thread for csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666907
i don't mean to hijack the thread but i am on the same boat with n910f (not rooted).
I have a warranty appointment (battery drain) and wish to flash back to stock. I purchased my phone sim free from Switzerland and i am in the UK. however i tried lollipop German rom (and sadly did not record my csc, i am a noob) and have now downgraded to UK rom to test battery drain issue for a day or two. I now wish to revert back to stock. my phone id csc related fields are as below.
original csc code: BTU
firmware csc: AUT
active csc code: BTU / AUT
csc country iso: CH
which rom should i flash to and back. Also considering the german lollipop rom data has completely gone from the csc which i flashed to the UK rom afterwards will it be safe to flash to it without auto reboot and then flash back to AUT swiss rom. i'd rather not have to set up my device again . and any comments on Warranty things / recommendations i need to take care of before my appointment
thnx
*********my solution ---------
I reset to factory default , installed lollipop rom, reset to factory default, booted lollipop, reset to factory default again, flashed swiss image , reset to factory default and everything was back to stock

This shouldn't be a problem so let me help. First some questions...
1. From which carrier/country is your phone?
2. Does it have a network lock?
3. Is it the Model number SM-G950F?
4. Which files did you flash via Odin (please type the actual filenames) and with which settings in Odin?
5. If you go into Settings - About phone - Software information - Service provider software. Please tell me the first and third line there under this point.

Hi,
1. Bought from Vodafone UK
2. Removed lock by code
3 G950F
4 Sorry don't have access to my laptop now but I've
Downloaded latest btu software from sammobile
unpacked it and used as per instructions. Tried using either home_csc or the other one but no luck either
Settings tried just standard and tried pit and reformat didn't work either
5. SAOMC_SM-G950F-OXM_XEU_077
XEU/XEU/VOD
when go into recovery it's still VOD tho
You have done all you could do.
You needed to flash with normal CSC NOT with HOME_CSC to change the CSC.
Your new CSC is XEU!
It still shows XEU/XEU/VOD because VOD is the original CSC of your phone. This is new for the S8 and could not be changed! But normally you will get OTA updates for your new XEU CSC just fine! And any Vodafone-Apps should also be removed.
So everything is like on Samsung devices debranded bevore - beside that the factory CSC is hard branded inside the phone. But thats just optical. Everything else works like it is an XEU CSC.

Are you sure about that? In the past if you didnt change properly the CSC after unbranding your phone you werent getting OTA updates anymore, i've read on SamMobile you gotta use Smart Switch using the serial number of a phone you know has that CSC, but i dont know how to find one, no one answered me on here. I'm thinking of going into a store and look at the exhibition one, but im afraid it's not legal to do that.
