CSC is Customer Specific Changes. its a set of bits to show the phone is for arguments an 3 device. this upsets kies when we debrand due to it not having a BTU firmware but having the H3G csc flag
H3G is branded with apps, boot logo and other crap by Three (UK). Benefit of getting BTU (UK unbranded) is because updates mostly come first there and there is no branding. DBT (Germany Unbranded) is great too. You can change CSC by flashing specific firmware with ODIN and wipe data and cache.

If you don't have the BTU UK firmware then there is no point changing CSC as there will still be a discrepancy with the software and the CSC - and this can sometimes lead to unforeseen headaches.
If you don't want to wipe / don't do anything.
If you want to flash and change your CSC download the latest rom from Sammobile but you will wipe everything.
You can backup with KIES first - wipe your device with the new rom - and then restore your settings and apps from Kies.
Oh and if you are thinking of changing CSC and flashing, make sure your phone is unlocked from the network first.....
Hi, I hope I am not hijacking the thread but I have similar questions. My SM-N9005 is from Hungary:
Product Code: XEH
PDA: N9005XXUBMJ3
CSC: N9005OXXBMJ3
MODEM: N9005XXUBMJ2
and I want to switch to the official stock Hong Kong Official firmware (not rooted):
Product Code: TGY
PDA: N9005ZHUDMK1
CSC: N9005ZZHDMK1
MODEM: N9005ZHUDMJ9
I know I need to use Odin to flash and my phone data will be wiped. A few questions:
1) I intent to download the latest firmware from sammobile.com. Does it contain all the necessary files?
2) After flashing will my phone behave like it's bought from Hong Kong?
3) Do I still get OTA update? Can I just automatically update directly from OTA or must I use Odin in future?
4) Will KNOX be tripped?
5) Will this report system as custom and display an unlocked lock on the initial boot screen?
6) Can I flash to a lower/older rom version (like Product Code: XSP, PDA: N9005XXUBMJ1, CSC: N9005OLBBMI3, MODEM: N9005XXUBMJ1) or must it be newer?
7) Can I reflash it back to Hungary (XEH) version or is this a 1-way trip?
8) Lastly the Hong Kong N9005 is 16GB whereas mine is 32GB... will that be a problem?
Thanks in advance for helping this noob!
I change on mi7 from dtm to dbt, no wipe just flahed same version of FW other csc
If its in same multicsc region(europe) no wipe is required
leave a 'thanks' if i helped

Hi Killberty, thx for quick reply. 3 more questions:
1) My CSC N9005OXXBMJ3 corresponded to: France, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Spain, Hungary, Portugal (TPH) & Greece. Does it mean that I can only use stock rom from these countries or from any other EU countries?
2) How about stock BTU CSC: N9005OXADMJ4 (from UK)? Also not possible?
3) Is your flash counter increased after flashing?
Thanks again.

Hi Killberty, thanks for your help so far. I will probably flash to UK (BTU) or France (XEF) in this case.
One more issue: When I bought my Note 3 it was already unlocked (even though there was a sealed warning sticker on the brand new box stating the phone was for European region). I activated it in Indonesia using a Singapore SIM card under roaming condition and now using local Indonesia SIM. Have also tried China, UK, Thai sim card under roaming and no pop-up asking for PIN code to unlock region lock.
So now if I flash to UK or France region will I encounter this region lock and can I unlock using a "3" UK sim card under roaming condition?
Thanks again!

Hi Killberty, was yours sim locked? I have a VOD CSC, but I'd rather use BTU as I don't want the Vodafone rubbish on it. As far as I'm aware it's sim locked to Vodafone. Can I just flash the BTU fw and keep using the Vodafone sim without problems, or will that complain as well? Any ideas?

Sorry man, there is no such SIM locking in Germany any more.
You will have to ask other ppl, or just try and have your default FW in case it fails for "back to the roots" flash

Thanks, appreciate it.
Hi,
I just received my GN3 yesterday, it was a germanic version (CSC = DBT).
I just have flashed it with the last french firmware on sammobile (N9005XXUDMK2), and, like some other french users,my CSC has just changed to a "CYO" CSC (greek version of GN3), despite of the french "XEF" CSC.
My Knox counter is still 0x0, I don't want to loose warranty, I don't want to root my phone, I just want to use a french GN3 with OTA updates.
Did we know a way to change the CSC to XEF yet?
I searched through the web and didn't found any positive answer.
Thank you, have a nice 2014 year
Up. Thanks
Just flash the xef version again.

Hi there fellow XDA developers.
My uncle bought a Samsung galaxy note 3 from Saudi Arabia (its been like 8 months) and his phone still have't received any KitKat update. It's current android version is 4.3 lollipop.
___INFO___
Phone model: SM-N9005
Original CSC code: BTU
Firmware's CSC code: BTU
CSC country: UK & IRE
CSC country ISO: GB
Product: SM-N9005ZKEBTU
Build No: JSS15J.N9005XXUDMK2 (N9005XXUDMK2)
I tried updating via Kies and Software update it says the same thing. YOU CURRENTLY HAVE THE LATEST UPDATES FOR YOUR DEVICE
So what is the case here? Will there be an update, or is there another way or is it gonna be ODIN?
Thank you

Some old firmwares are stucked and don't update. You will have to flash the firmware via ODIN. The latest for your device is: HERE. Good luck

1. Gt-i9500 doesn't have UK version.
2. Install this APP and add some screenshots to know the Code Country (CSC) of your device.

Hi,
I recently recived my Galaxy S7 Edge after returning my Note 7 :crying: and it appears the Firmware's CSC is XSG G93FZKAXSG (UAE/AE) United Arab Emirates.
I would like to load the Offical UK Firmware XEU From Sammobile G935FXEU1BPH3
I found the Odin Guide
But Im unsure if this still is possible or if it would negitively affect the Phones OTA Updates or trigger the Knox warranty.
Any guidance offerd would be greatly apreciated,

it will not trip knox as it is a stock kernal. But OTA updates maybe effected as it is an unbranded firmware.
