HOW TO CHANGE CSC CODE ON SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND DUOS I9082/I9082L
DISCLAIMER:
*What you done to your phone is at your OWN RISK, you choose to do this modifications to your phone and don't blame me if anything goes wrong.
Hi guys, I created this topic in order to help those who are unable to change their CSC code to back to their stock firmware region's CSC code in order to reclaim their warranty.
*I tried on I9082, it should be work on I9082L and other Samsung devices with Android 4.x + as well.
**Have you noticed even you have reset-ed your BIN counter and flash back official firmware, you are still 1-step closer to reclaim your warranty? Which is the CSC code. Even you are on official Firmware, Samsung will still know you have already flashed custom firmware before and they can refuse to help you repair or whatever to fix your phone if you have any hardware problems.
This is for those who are running on Custom ROM before such as Cyanogenmod (like me ) or other different region's firmware, which will eventually mess up your phone's original CSC code when you are trying to restore to official/stock firmware.
If you are alreading using the correct CSC code on your phone and country, or you have successfully changed the CSC code using CSC changer. You can skip this.
CSC code a.k.a Customer Sales Code.
CSC; - Customer Sales Code;
This value can vary depending on who sold you the handset or if it is branded, if Orange sold you the handset, it will most likely have ORA as a CSC code. If Car Phone warehouse sold it to you, it would be CPW or XEU, this is in relation with your product code and changing the CSC code can change the product code held in nv_data.bin. The CSC firmware file contains a list of definitions for determining which network you are connected to.
The CSC file/value also goes in conjunction with how Kies will read the phone firmware-CSC value and judge if you require an update to your existing firmware. As before, we would use a Kies registry patcher, edit the registry ourselves to edit the firmware-CSC values and update the phone as we required. The new method requires an app on the phone called "Spoof FW", this edits values on the phone, so when kies connects, it believes its another phone and updates for the values you have entered. Spoof FW can be acquire from the Android Market - CLICK HERE (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.johnan.spooffw&hl=en)
Multi-CSC firmware files contain more than one CSC to choose from, so, you can switch from CPW to XEU/XEO/XEE.
To access the CSC selection menu, Eclair: *#272*HHMM#, on FroYo, *#272*IMEI#.

Since the *#272*-IMEI-# code doesn't work on ICS or JB anymore, this gets our job a little bit harder. :crying:
I will guide you using my method. Which it works for me. :fingers-crossed:
Steps:
1a. If you are on CM ROM or Baliboxer's ROM etc, download stock firmware from sammobile.com and directly flash stock firmware which contains the correct regional code for your device through ODIN. (Normally a stock ROM from sammobile will contains several regions CSC. Make sure you have downloaded the firmware which contains your region's CSC.)
After flash, just root the stock ROM. You knew the drill.
or
1b. You are on stock ROM but is on other's region firmware and is rooted (based on Samsung official firmware). Same, just download your stock latest update firmware from sammobile.com first. Which contains your region's CSC.
2. Ok, now both are on a stock ROM but rooted, check your CSC using the CSC Changer app. You will see like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
*Warning, installing CSC code will wipe the data of your phone.
**Try Install the CSC for your region, If you are not able to change back to your region's CSC, continue the procedure below. Else if you have successfully changed it, (Check again by installing the app again) reset your BIN counter using Triangle Away app, reboot and put your phone in Download mode (Do not enter CWM Recovery again as it will increase the BIN counter). Flash back the same Firmware you've downloaded, and you are done. Just like as you firstly bought the phone. (Check it by entering stock recovery, you will see a text like: "Applied Multi-CSC: XME"
3. If not working, then install ES File Explorer from Playstore or link below (recommended) or other file browser with Root access ability. Open the side menu and select Root Explorer.
4. Grant SU permission for ES File Explorer then select Root Explorer, select Mount R/W, again select both Path RW permission.
5. After that browse and open using ES Note Editor (recommended) mps_code.dat file located in /efs/imei/.
Change to the code you want and Save it.
6. Again browse and open using ES Note Editor (recommended) sales_code.dat file located in /system/csc/.
Change to the code you want and Save it.
7. Alright all done, reboot your phone first. Then reset the BIN counter using Triangle Away. (Again, friendly reminder: Do not enter CWM Recovery again as it will increase the BIN counter) Reboot and put your phone in Download mode. Flash the stock ROM you've downloaded though ODIN.
8. After flash, remember you must go into stock recovery immediately the first recovery screen appears. (Which got a blue line running with the Android doll, after that your phone will reboot. Press the recovery buttons as soon the doll disappears)
9. Check if your phone had applied the correct CSC for your region. At line Applied the CSC-code: ATO or XXX etc.
*Pics taken from Google Image.
10. That's it, do a wipe of data/cache, and reboot your phone. You are on Fully Official Stock Samsung ROM.

an easier way
Hello to everyone. One method, wich worked like a charm for me, on Samsung Galaxy Y Pro B5510 it was:
I downloaded two firmware from internet:
-one wich contains latest firmware, and one wich contains my country region;
-i splitted the files using Cygwin +SplitFUS2 (see tutorials from here, in this forum), for both firmwares;
-after that, I made a folder with ex. "custom firmware" where i put these files:
-PDA and MODEM from the latest firmware( already splitted), and the CSC code I put it from my country region firmware(already splitted).
-to work in Odin you have to rename the CSC from your country code with the exactly name from the latest CSC firmware code.
-how to flash with Odin, it's also somewhere here a tutorial.
Now i have the latest firmware from another country, and the CSC code from my country (my tst. works like a charm).
For any infos, please contact me in PM,
It was also difficult for me, at the beginning to understand how to flash my phone, and change file..etc., but now it's clear. For that i will say , if you need help I will try to help you. Bye!

Hello all! I'm using firmware JM7 with OXX csc. I've been using it as it started when flashed. Today I've checked and CSC was KOR, as if I were in Korea. Once written the csc change code on the phone, I get a lot of codes but none for Spain, which I think is FOP.
Then I checked JM7 OXA CSC and JM6 and JPC CSCs included and none contained the code FOP.
So, either I have to use another code or I'm wrong asuming the CSC code is FOP for Spain, anyone got a clue?
Can I use an older CSC that contains FOP?
Thanks in advance
Same problem... I need the last CSC version of Spain... Any clue or some download?

Hi,
I would like to request the help of the Rooting Gurus
I have an S2 and the info of the phone is the following:
PDA: I9100XWKG1
PHONE: I9100XXKG1
CSC: I9100XEFKG2
From the thread in this forum I found that in order to root the phone I have to download the following firmware version:
XWKG1
Firmware info
PDA:XWKG1
PHONE: XXKG1
Date: 05/07/2011
Android 2.3.3
XEF (France): link1
TUR (Turkey): link2
ITV (Italy): link3
XWKG1 Stock Kernel:link4
From what I understand I have to download the first one (XEF France) since it matches my CSC code and also the XWKG1 Stock Kernel.
I use the custom firmware first with Odin and then the stock kernel in order to remove the yellow triangle.
This firmware though is version 2.3.3 and my problem is what do I do if I want to upgrade it (not from Kies)
From samfirmware I see that there are firmwares with version 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 but not sure which one I can use without causing a problem to the phone
In the firmware table for example it has the following two versions:
Europe Firmware .PIT Android Date CSC
I9100XXKG2 EXT4.PIT 2.3.4 2011 July 12 MULTI-CSC-OXAKG2
And
I9100XXKI3 EXT4.PIT 2.3.5 2011 September 15 CSC-OXAKI3
From the letter code (XX) in one of the threads here I way that XX letter code means:
XX---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom
1) Can I use any of the above firmwares even though it seems that the CSC code doesn’t match?
2) How can I change the CSC code?
Thank you in advance for your help
In short.....yes you can flash them.safely.
I am from Australia and use the UK csc.
Alternatively, you can flash the firmwares you like then flash just the csc you want after that over it.
If you have cwm recovery I would recommend doing a backup just in case you want to go back. Or just use Odin if you already have your stock firmware.

Good advice. These two thread offer a lot of good information.
I bought the phone which was brand new, couple of years ago. I wanted to update it to the latest OS but was unable to do so as it says it was modified.
After extensive research online, i came to know i have to flash the stock rom using Odin. But i am unable to find the stock firmware that matches the codes.
These are the results from *#1234#
AP : N9005XXUBMI7
CP : N9005XXUBMI6
CSC : N9005OJVBMI2
I am unable to trace the stock ROM firmware. Appreciate if anyone could give the link and the instructions if possible.
EDIT: Okay i managed to download the stock ROM of 4.3 from a website and successfully flashed it. But being in 4.3 it says the phone is up to date and has no updates available when i check for new updates

Use the newest XXU* Version fitting to your home country best. In my case you would need Germany (DBT) because it was a unbranded german phone. Thus I need PDA: N9005XXUGBOK6 and CSC: N9005DBTGBOI1. Because I am NOT using stock at all anymore, I always use the newest BL and MODEM, but in your case just use the most recent Firmware which fits your origin and provider.

Seems like Sri Lanka has a N9005ODD* CSC in recent FWs, but you have a N9005OJV* one used in South Africa and Morocco currently.
So I would try these:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/62194/N9005XXUGBOK9_N9005OJVGBOI1_XFM (South Africa)

No guarantee though, but in theory it's not interesting at all which FW you use. At least I already used DBT ones and Nordic Country NEE ones and had no problems in the past.
So you could try http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/62526/N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005ODDGBOJ1_SLK (Sri Lanka) too. But as I said, FW update always is a risk and if you don't know how to fix stuff, it can be a nice activity for a whole weekend to fix stuff again.
If you want to be more sure and secure... load https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo and send the stuff shown in "General", "CSC-Code", "Firmware" and "Android" in here. Most interesting is the "Active CSC Code"

Isn't the different PDA version a problem?
Nope. PDA version changes from time to time. Check the firmwares for CSC XSI and you will see that they are Android version dependent. Same can be seen for any country.

Thank you very much
HI,
My note 3 Was on
Country United Arab Emirates
Product code XSI
PDA N9005XXUGBOG4
CSC N9005OJVGBOG2
but when i check on OTA update it says yes update available, and it updated to this
Country South Africa (XFM)
Version Android 5.0
Product code XFM
PDA N9005XXUGBOK9
CSC N9005OJVGBOI1
i revert back to XSI firmware. then using keis i found update,
And also using KIes did the same thing.
How is it possible? both product codes are different, pleae guide me about it.
It got right firmware. Its just sammobile website issue, websites does not show firmware for XSI region, which is the same as XFM region.

which exact model do you have / from which country
Im trying to see if there is a 5G, dual-sim version that also has BAND 30. Do you know if it has this band?
Download mode is easy. Reboot phone,,
Hold volume up and down at same time and download menu will appear.

Normally I would, but I won't share it in this thread of @yakapa40
I asked him several questions in the Note10+ Star Wars thread, but he isn't answering me because I'm from SamMobile (don't know what happened there...)
But I've mentioned it in one of my Firmware-threads...

SM G988B dual Sim from New Zealand. Listed on PB Tech where I bought it as
5G
5G Non-Standalone (NSA), Standalone (SA), Sub6
Hi. Is there any way for ultra lte (G988B) to flash 5G rom to see if the ultra lte indeed has the 5g being locked out or not? Last time Samsung G note 4 also being locked out for the 4G, installing us rom unlock the 4G on the note 4 (3G model)
I changed my Tmobile S20 ultra Sales code to xaa and now I i can't use the dialer code to change it back. how do i fix this?
@abine45
if your CSC is XAA your device is G988U or U1 and not G988B
you have a special thread here for US :

Have you tried forcing the reset?
I would love to change the CSC to the standard DBT as well but am unable to find a manual or reprots of success so far
Same here, as DTM (T-Mobile DE) seems to be part of OXM now and DBT as well, I do not figure how to change the active csc to DBT.
On the good side I can flash any OXM firmware, but I am thinking at e.g. next Android beta - DBT will be needed then. Also, I do like OTA updates...
