flash ke7 over carrier brand (unlocked) ke2

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 .

[Tool][Root] Samsung Galaxy S3 CSC Selector XXELLA

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.

I will be testing ..

Does changing csc will wipe data in root mode also?
Edit: it changed my csc from btu to inu but it changed it to kor, I had selected inu, I tried multiple times but csc remains kor.

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.

not work

[Q] SM-N910H CSC Change without Root

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.

Is there any developer or Samsung expert, who can highlight what might be the problem here.

Find & flash single country csc instead of multi csc, once it's changed to single country csc, flash again as per your requirements.

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.

How to change Region to get update first?

I have a an italian no brand s8 ITV, i want to change in XEU ( uk and ireland) to get update fast more than my country
I flashed all 4 files in odin and then hard reset but nothing changed.. from AQF7 ITV to AQF7 XEU ( try with this to see if i get new update come out in this days) but nothing remain in Phone info and in setting ITV/ITV/ITV nothing change
Is possible without root make this or i wrong something? Thank guys

Did you wipe data / cache after flashing the firmware? I'm assuming that you may have done as you mention a hard reset.

yes i do a factory reset wipe cache in recovery.. but nothing to do nothing change

Flash self with odin you first guy

Ok ITV is part of the same csc as XEU so all you need to do is flash the 4 files but when flashing use the home csc file not the other one and then see what happens.

i try see what happens, i remove sim card too

Nothing with home csc nothing change.. always ITV ITV ITV
Flash, boot set wifi ecc then reboot in recovery ( first say no command all time i tried but 3sec appear recovery) wipe everything, but nothing change

Strange one that. But just thinking because ITV and XEU are part of the csc family you should get OTA pretty much the same time. I just recently updated mine to latest update by connecting my phone to my laptop and then smart switch.

You have to use a UK Sim card and make a reset with it
