As reported by sammobile, a firmware named XWLSW has been also released for Switzerland with build date "June 2013".
But, unlike the UK firmwares with the same code, it seems to be multi-CSC as well as no-brand, so giving much more benefit in terms of more universal usage.
CSC code is OXXLSA.
Can anybody who installed it confirm that it is actually multi-CSC and please can post the list of countries of individual CSC's included in it?
Moreover and above all, comments about it will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Why don't you do it yourself? This forum lives of everyone contributing.
True, you don't need to create a new thread as we already got a couple of JB threads.
As the above poster said, you could try it yourself. Hell, you got the tools right here, at xda.

Answers and opinions will be highly appreciated. If I'm asking and not trying by myself, there must be a good reason. So please avoid useless comments which waste time and space in the topic.
And what reason that may be?
That you don't wanna become a guinea pig?
C'mon.....visit one the threads I mentioned, i'm sure the guys there already flashed it.

Well, I downloaded and decompressed the firmware in order to retrieve the individual CSC's included in the multi-CSC OXXLSA of this firmware.
The list of CSC's is :
AUT=SWITZERLAND
CYO=CYPRUS
CYV=CYPRUS
DNF=FINLAND
EUR=GREECE
NEE=SWEDEN
ORG=SWITZERLAND
ORS=SLOVAKIA
TPH=PORTUGAL
XSK=SLOVAKIA
Some countries are repeated due to supposed "brand" and "no-brand".
The country names were derived from inside the .xml file of each CSC.
Therefore, it is actually a multi-CSC but without ITV for Italy no-brand, as I hoped. :crying:
Can somebody tell me an effective and secure method to install this firmware but keeping (or restoring) my current CSC (ITV)? My current firmware is XWLSD stock no brand Italy.

Hey crew.
Been fiddling with an engineering sample of the galaxy tab for a while now, that I was provided for review purposes a while ago. The unit is "unlocked" from what I can gather, based upon firmware outputs:
Code:
Product code in nv_data.bin:
P1000CWAXSA
Product code in backup .nv_data.bak:
P1000CWAITV
PDA: P1000XWJJ4
PHONE: P1000XXJID
CSC: P1000XSAJJ1
I've never flashed the phone with anything specific or special. It came like this. About all I've done thus far in terms of poking and prodding, is a z4root, to use a few little things like TiBackup.
So - questions:
1. Both the original kies 1.xx told me that there were no updates for the unit. I left it be.
2. Kies 2.0 suggests "This version of the device cannot be upgraded". Googling around/searching here suggests this is a very poor translation of "There aren't any firmware updates for the unit currently". T/F/What the?
Strikes me as odd, because I didn't think these versions of the code were even close to current?
So...
What are my options? ODIN based flash only? Should I even bother flashing it at this stage/and are there any appreciable gains beyond the code versions I've listed above. What firmware images should I be flashing, if it's deemed a good idea/worth while doing it at all?
Do I need all three "parts"? PDA/Phone/CSC?
Thanks all.

Hi.
Ummm - am I missing something, or does nobody legitimately have answers to my questions? Did I post this in the wrong forum section?
Thanks.

Hello everyone and sorry if i created a topic that already exists ive been searching this forum for hours and i could not find a solution to my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 purchased in Slovenia at the provider Mobitel.
I've tried to update my phone to a newer version of the firmware trough Kies but i get the following error.
OK as im new it doesnt let me insert links :/ so my firmware version is the following:
PDA:JS2 / PHONE:JPY / CSC:JS1 (MOT)
i know the update to 2.3 is availible in Slovenia but i think i am missing some update inbetween or something, as you can see my Kies says its not an official version on my phone but it is, my phone is the same as i bought it ive never updated yet nor i installed any custom stuff on it.
Hope someone can help me i've been trying to update for about 2 weeks now :/ thanks!
Hi it would seem that http://www.samfirmware.com/ have a lot of updates that don't seem to be on kies I have updated my I9000 to 2.3.5 using Odin from there.
Everything you need to do it is on that site there are many threads on this forum for updating you phone. Before you do back up your IMEI data because if something goes wrong (not that it should) this data is unrecoverable.
See this link for how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859914
When you go onto samfirmware there are guides on how to use Odin and what firmwares to use. Not that the name of the firmware version holds info about country codes and languages so my firmware I9000XXJVS is decoded in the following way -
I9000 - model
XX - Country code
JV - Language code
S - Changes with version
When you are changing the firmware check that the language code and country code are the same as what you have already this will ensure you have the right firmware. Only the last letter changes usually.

Hey thanks for your reply!
See im a complete novice when it comes to update Android phones on my own...doesnt it mean if i do it with Odin its going to be a custom update and i loose my warranty as it would be an official samsung update anymore ? and the frimware versions its all just numbers and letters to me i coudnt tell the difference between them if i look at them :/ so if you could please link me the exact things that i need if its legal to update that way , if im not asking for too much cause i feel like i am :/ i've been searching both this forum and sam's for a few days and i cant make out anything of it, like i saidi m a novice dont know much :/
Ok i downloaded this :
samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/8512833-android-2-3-5-for-galaxy-s-
now i have completely no idea what to do with >.< please help!
flash samfirmware 2.3.5 XXJVS, newest and fastest
Ok firstly Odin is a manual tools for updating firmware. And the roms on that site are stock roms (unmodified). The reason Samsung and other manufacturers don't like people flashing roms is that a) you can brick your phone and b) with a custom rom they will not warrantee the rom because they didn't make it. If you flash a stock rom onto your phone you should be fine. (Bricked phones are recoverable usually).
As I said before BACK UP YOUR IMEI DATA as shown by the link in my original post reply as if this data is corrupted even if you get a good rom on your phone if you have lost your imei your phone will not work. (This is more of an issue with custom roms and not usually an issue with stock roms but do it anyway).
**UPDATE** This actually requires that you have Odin up and working which you might not yet so don't worry just yet about this.
Don't use xxjvs yet it may be the wrong language we will check before proceeding.
Ok firstly you need to check the language version of the rom already in your phone the easiest way is to go into settings and then about and check the kernel version it will be something like 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVS-CL535839
The important bit for now is the bit in bold in the above example I9000 is the model xx is the country code jv is the langauge code and s is the version.
XX = Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
JV = en,fr,pt,tr(ar,de,es,fa,it,nl)
If you are from Solvenia you country code would normally be XD and im not sure what your language code is. Any firmware you install should have the same country and language codes.
Checking the site there aren't any versions with the XD country code so before continuing can you confirm what version your phone already has?
XD = Croatia, Czech, Hungary, Slovakia
?? = language (use whatever your old rom is)
You can flash different country codes but be aware that this may change the available languages on your phones and/or settings/carrier information. (checking the site they just have the xxjvs firmware listed under "Europe" so it might be fine. It's up to you. That being said when I turn my phone back on after flashing a rom it prompts me with a list of countries so...
You need to install your phone drivers
Then download Odin http://hotfile.com/dl/107607762/640950b/I9003_Odin3_v1.82.rar.html and then un-rar it.
You then need to download the firmware you want to flash the current XXJV firmware is http://hotfile.com/dl/129538506/0a079c6/I9000XXJVS.rar.html.
This will contain 4 files the modem, csc, kernel and pit files everything you need to make it work.
I'm not going to go through the Odin instructions as they are on the site here http://www.samfirmware.com/SVC Android/I9000 Flashguide.pdf and are pretty easy to follow (just ignore the first few pages until you come to the Odin section).

Do you have Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300 International with Multi-CSC? Have you installed another stock ROM for another region and met thereafter a problem that Kies is no more supporting firmware update?
Here is a comprehensive guide on how to change your stock ROM of region "X" to a stock ROM of region "Y".
Samsung has put CSC codes to meet certain regions where each firmware file is made for that specific region, where it refers to basic configurations and carrier settings. Your device comes with a specific CSC for your region. If you install another ROM file signed for another CSC, you might face a problem.
Here is the solution.
DISCLAIMER: THIS METHOD HAS BEEN APPLIED UPON OWN RISK, SELF EXPERIENCE AND DIFFERENT TRIAL AND ERROR BASIS, WITH REFERENCE TO VARIOUS WEBSITES. THE METHOD WILL WIPE YOUR DATA. BE CAREFUL, AND TAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU APPLY. YES, BE CAREFUL, IT WILL WIPE YOUR DATA! APPLY UPON YOUR OWN RISK.
1- Download any firmware file from www.sammobile.com for Samsung Galaxy S III. For example, download the one for UAE (United Arab Emirates) with its CSC being "XSG".
2- Open your dial pad, and type "*#06#" to check for your IMEI code. Write down the IMEI. (Or simply bring your Galaxy S III box and take the IMEI from there).
3- In the dial pad, dial "*#272*YOUR_DEVICE_IMEI#".
4- A window will appear showing your current CSC, and has a list of various available CSCs to different regions.
5- Choose "XSG" from the list to meet the one of the ROM you downloaded.

.....That is not at all correct and this post is a total waste of time .
Further more two hours after this post the OP has to ask how to get out of a boot loop .

Having the fact I went into a boot loop does not mean the method is bad or waste of time. It is hardware failure of my device. Period.
Period your how to post is poor and a bad repetition of stuff already sticked period .
jje
Period
I figured that out later. Anyways, don't you have any idea how to fix my problem?
Also want to add that JJE is right, there is a thread with akl this information in.
Plus on the Stock Firmware Rom thread there is a Step by Step guide on how to flash it to your device.
And finally, having an attitude towards somebody who has commented on your thread isnt a good way to get other users commenting. Other users will cone across this thread, see your attitude towards another commenting user, and will go else where so they dont get spoken to in the same manner.
Not having a go Im just suggesting a different approach towards users may be better off.

Hi,
I bought a S4 from Three a while ago.
Today, after waiting ages for the latest firmware updates, noticed that my region code is BTU, and that the latest firmware for this region is the first one! This angered me alot so I wanted to install some of the latest updates that have region code DBT, I hear if you install this your region code will change and then I'll get all the future ones too..
I am very new to this, so this topic is basically asking for help..
What will happen? Can I change region code to DBT this way?
And what do I need to do, I found some guides that tell me to use Odin, but say I need unlocked bootloader and I am not aware of how to do this.
Thanks
Hi,
I tried to flash Germany firmware for my S7 Edge however after finding out that the gear VR require local region firmware in order to function, i couldnt find the original firmware anywhere (ie sammobile).
The closest that I have found is the following, however it is not the original firmware as well. I did not record my phone CSC and it is now missing in the phone information. Could anyone share the firmware?
The country for the phone should be Singapore (Singtel). Million thanks ahead!

You bought it from Singapore so it should be XSP right?

I tried flashing the XSP firmware in the link on my first post, however it doesnt show CSC code/VoLTE either, hence I'm suspecting there may have multiple variant of Singapore firmware.
In order to change Active CSC your phone need to be wipe which odin does this automatically when flashing CSC file.(not HOME_CSC file)
Also XSP is part of OLB multi-csc which contain CSC for Malaysia/Philippines/Singapore/Thailand/Vietnam. So when you flash this CSC-file it will randomize the CSC. For example, you flash OLB-CSC expecting XSP-CSC but you might get THL-CSC instead.
is there a way to flash directly to XSP -CSC (singapore)? figured more people would be interested in this since Samsung Pay is expected to be released within this quarter

I appreciate any advice on this as well, my gear vr is giving me "network error" and I cant find any singapore(singtel) firmware around
Apparently there is no way you can flash the firmware and get Singapore CSC. It will always go to THL which is default CSC in OLB.
Just bumping this thread up if anyone's figured a way to get the Singapore CSC back. Unfortunately I decided to try out the Nougat beta and now I'm stuck with the Thai version of Samsung Pay.
Found this thread. I just tried android N and went back to marshmallow and having TH CSC. Hope someone can figure out and share
Go to Samsung at Plaza Singapura and have it restored. They do that in lesa than 2hrs.
