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.

What IS the csc?

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

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.

To flash cross regional fimrware you need to change you CSC code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491877
Also if you flash MJ3 build then your bootloader will be upgraded and you have to stay will MJ3 firmware, you cant then downgrade back to MJ1 firmware

I want to know this as well. I have Malaysian fw on my phone but I want to switch to BTU. According to what I have read this should work because my current region is XX, however I have seen way too many people getting this ext4 error for me to try it.
Can someone give a definitive answer? I am on MJ3 with a region of XX. Thanks!

How did you flash it to void warranty?

but what does BTU stand for?
and what's the two letters before MJ7?

CSC code for UK (no carrier) = BTU.
Revision of Android - MJ7, latest version released as of yet...
Not sure about the rest but it appears regional...
Flashed it after running through RDLV but had issues with WIFI and sd card... Flashed extracted modem from MJ6 rom, this sent me into a bootloop. Flashed stock MJ6 rom onto phone and fixed the bootloop but put new bootloaders on. At this point warranty void was 0x0. Tried Kingoapp to root hoping it wouldn't trip counter, it did...
New bootloaders are a mongrel....

Stay away from Kingo/vroot, xda has removed all links and closed the thread. It's full of malware / spyware and will send all personal details to a Chinese Web server.

just changed my firmware from xme to btu
just follow these from the s4 forum by kaushalls but use odin 3.04 and be patient it may fail for two time but will eventually will do it and run odin in normal mode not administrator mode
Make sure you take a backup via Kies if you need personal files
Download the respective stock ROMS from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com or see thread on Stock Roms on XDA
Extract zip to get tar.md5
Put device into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power) and Flash using Odin (PDA option)
Wait till device reboots back into Android after completing the flash and recovery
Once device reboots, do a Factory Reset via back up and reset option
Once device reboots after Factory Reset/recovery, enter the google account info and restore settings and then turn off the device
and restart (go into recovery and see the csc btu being applied if yes then stop here,do factory reset and restart)
after this the next steps are optional
Boot device back into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power)
Re-flash the same downloaded firmware for a second time via Odin
Once the device reboots after the 2nd flash, your CSC should have changed to the CSC of the ROM you downloaded, and Kies also should show that CSC has changed and it should allow future updates via Kies or OTA
check csc by going to stock recoverry it will show manual mode at the bottom and then show btu csc applied

Hi,
I have messed up my phone while playing with TowelRoot, so I flashed a new firmware. This is the recommended software for Belgium (I9505XXUGNG8) on SamMobile, this firware was for Luxembourg, and on french forums they said it was this one for Belgium, since belgium does not have a firmware.
So I flashed it via Odin, and then the phone rebooted, however, my CSC is set to ORX (Slovakia) for some reason. This is a Multi-CSC firmware.
So, I wonder what CSC is it for this firmware (Before I flashed the phone, the welcome screen was in english)
And how to get this back so I get 100% stock, by keeping KNOX 0x0.
(I can't root with TowelRoot, because it got patched)
Sorry to do this, but bump.

CSC is required for OTA (automatique mise à jour du firmware), so no need to change it because ORX area is linked to Europ.
You'll get OTA the same time (almost) than France and Lx , no worry.
in case you fear it is always possible to flash the full new Rom with ODIN.
Welcome screen is english and you move it the language you want.
About KNOX 0 if you always flash FW with Odin you'll never have to worry about it.
Clear?
Ok and I can send it back to Samsung ?
(Thanks btw ☺)

I don't say this is a problem, csc has some region related features. IF u really want those features, you can use specific region firmware as u stated about your region but i don't care about csc because it does not create a real problem. Changing CSC is bit confusing so flash complete whatever firmware you want and enjoy, also hit thanks :fingers-crossed:
Few months ago I flashed Android 5.0 Poland and today I wanted to flash original version which is Android 5.0 Romania. I did flash it and CSC changed from XEO which is for Poland as far as I know to SEE (unkown) instead of csc ROM which is for Romania.
My question is how I can get rid of SEE csc and get the ROM csc which is normal for my current firmware. I did tried factory reset quite few times.
Google ?

The thing is that I don't want to have knox 0x1 after Rooting the phone. The reason I did installed Romanian Version it's because I want to go with at Warranty to fix something.

this maybe help you flash CSC in odn csc tab:
extract cache.img and hidden.img from your Romania firmware make tar from them using this program(https://www.dropbox.com/s/egp2c88amceg8mn/IZArc.4.1.9.rar?dl=0)
change the tar name to CSC.tar and flash in odin CSC tab.
do it with your on risk
