Help: Cannot Select CSC Code

I have flashed my Note with the UK ROM LP4 and want to change my CSC code from the German CSC code ODT which I set after installing the German LPY ROM. But when I try using *#272*IME# then it just shows the ODT code with no other codes listed and no selection button for the ODT code.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for all your help

I think the U.K. Rom you installed dude doesn't offer Multi CSC resource. You have to install a rom with Multi CSC resources.
Check Samfirmware and look for another U.K Rom you can flash and check later on if you can have the option of selecting ODT among the CSCs on that ROM.

There is only one other UK rom on Samfirmware which is for the carphone warehouse but how do you know if it is Multi CSC? I don't want to select ODT but the UK CSC which I think is XEU
Thanks for your help.

hmm.. hey listen.. i read this before, try this step: downgrade your phone to a all stock GB , there are a lot of it in Dr ketan's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997. Choose the very basic stock one. After you flash to stock, check if there is ODT on that, if it does have it. Then your good to go. Flash and back to your official U.K Rom, I'm sure the Mutli CSC from the previous one is already there. By the way, you need to flash the Rom only.. not the corresponding CSC files of your new UK ROM..

Thanks for your help I'm going to flash XXLC1 which is 2.36 and is called Open Europe so it should have the UK CSC code which I think is XEU. So I need to set that once LC1 is flashed then flash LP4 again. Correct? I notice in Samfirmware there are PDA and CSC files available. Can you just flash a CSC file? If so then there is no need to flash XXLC1 which is the PDA file.

When I flashed the UK LP4 rom I just flashed the PDA file. If I had also flashed the CSC file at the same time then perhaps I would be able to select the UK CSC code. As I have just flashed the PDA file can I now flash just the CSC file or do I need to start again and flash PDA and CSC together?
Sorry for all the questions, but I am a noob

I just checked it for myself and realised that only Korea CSC code is avaible to me after ICS Turkey version update. How can i revert to TUR CSC code which is for Turkey? I flash roms with mobile odin pro. Do you think it's something related to it ?

I managed to fix my CSC code problem by flashing the stock European GB rom XXKL8 which is multi-CSC. The other big advantage of the KL8 is that it does a full wipe which clears a lot of faults when you flash over other roms without a wipe.
With XXKL8 installed I was able to select the XUE CSC code for the UK and then flash the latest ICS stock rom for the UK. With the correct UK CSC code and correct UK rom I am now able to use kies or ota for future updates.

It's nothing to do with Odin. You need to find a rom, probably a regional one which contains multiple CSC codes including your Turkey code. You might need to flash a GB rom first which does a full wipe if you have been flashing several non-wipe roms to clear any errors.
Once you are able to set the Turkey CSC using the regional Multi-CSC rom then you can flash the ICS rom for Turkey then you will have the correct CSC code and correct rom so you will be able to use kies for updates.
Hope this helps.

To be honest i don't remember which Gingerbread CSC code i was using before the ICS update and moreover i didn't directly flash ICS Turkey version over gingerbread. I first flashed ICS LPY German then i flashed ICS Turkey on it. Before that i only used German , Open Europe and Turkey roms. So i don't have a clue where did that Korean CSC come from even tho i never flashed a rom with Korean CSC. Thanks for the tip but i'm scared to downgrade to gingerbread for the famous emc bug hard brick problems. I can bare with korean csc for now as i never flash roms through kies.

Flashing ROMS is never risk free. However flashing stock GB ROMS correctly using Odin appears to be reasonably safe. You can do a search for the correct CSC code for Turkey and change that but it will do a factory reset. If you don't have the CSC code which matches your ROM then you will not be able to update firmware using Kies.

Doesn't manual factory reset on a single-CSC ROM also change the CSC to that of the ROM...?

[Q] How to change product code ?

Hello, I had a SFR ROM (french carrier) I flashed the XEF ROM (ROM on SamMobile) with Odin, I turn off my phone and I went into recovery mode. I did the two wipe and the product code of my phone is now BTU (recognized by Kies). I tried to replace the product with *#272*IMEI#, it does not work. I also downloaded the application Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC on play store but it does not work. Do you have any idea how to do? Thanks.

*#272*..... Does not work on jelly bean. For application csc changer you must be rooted and dont know if it work.
To change csc, flash stock firmware with the csc you want, then hard reset your phone
sent from my Galaxy

I am glad that you managed to flash other ROM. (Awaiting my S4 within 72 hours).
Now, once KIES recognized it as BTU there's no need to replace the product with *#272*IMEI# code. Your phone is now BTU and will receive updates for BTU (UK market, unbranded).

[Q] Flashing to XEO (Poland) firmvare + changing CSC with Odin?

Hi, I want to flash my galaxy as fedup with waiting for updates.
I got BTU, UK unbranded, unlocked S4
I am polish, so thinking flash it to polish firmware as they get it fast.
GT-I9505 XEO I9505XXUBMEA thats the one I want go for
Can someone tell what is it ? is it network firmware or unbranded?
I would go for it only if I can change CSC code to XEO, so I can get OTA updates.
If not I will keep waiting for BTU
And Dont really want XEO polish carier firmware, as I can flash to Three UK BTU network, would be the same and dont have to change CSC.
So, main questions are
What it is XEO ? what network ?
Can I flash it + change code to CSC all safe?
and how to do it ? Odin
Thank You.
Kris

as far as i tried you cant change csc with flashing . unless you flash single csc not multi.
only way is to root with auto root than change csc wit csc changer and then flash desired firmware with odin.
xeo looks like it is simfree so its just general for poland

Can someone help me out as I am new to all of this...
I am using a Samsung galaxy tab 7.0 (p2610), and I flashed a jelly bean update successfully using odin. I am not rooted.
I have a system update in the notifications window that is stuck there, that is not working (process fails), this is due to the csc code being in great britain.
I am in Canada, I have Odin ready to go, can someone please show me how to change the CSC of my device to Canada?
Where do I go to download the appropriate file? After I assume I load it up in Odin with device in recovery mode, and flash using the "CSC" option in Odin correct?
Any help would be great.

What does "could not locate csc data package?"

I have a Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900), which is absolutely genuine, but purchased from China, so it is therefore “Region Locked”. I have tried to get this ‘unlocked’ by various companies advertising on Ebay etc, but they are unable to do so. I Downloaded the “Region Lock Away” successfully, and then when I press “Region Unlock”, I am given the message: “Could not locate CSC data! You could try flashing a CSC package to correct this”. So my question obviously is, how do I do this, especially as I am somewhat nervous at anything more involved, (i.e. ‘Rooting’ etc). Any and all help will be appreciated.

The CSC package is inside file cache.img from one Rom.
Look the attach img from N900 (files from Rom to flash by Odin), there are two files cache.img + hidden.img.
Making a Mod csc.tar.md5 whit this two files from one Rom having Your CSC, we can flash it by Odin in csc and we have it installed.
This example attached have only the csc SER from Russia.

Thank you Valente for your reply, it is appreciated, but please could I ask how in simple steps I actually do this.......you are dealing with a 66 year old here!!
My kindest regards,
Bernard

Well, in Portugal the N900 is not sale only N9005 then I only give You some idea. But this isn't so simple.
First You must give me what is Your Rom working. On phone keyboard type *#1234# (may be return) and You have the AP, CP and CSC
Send me this. Then what Your CSC and Carrier/Operator to see from what Rom we must extract the cache.img.
Your N900 must have the 4.3 then the Knox also, it's true? If yes it have the Knox botloader and on Odin sometimes isn't possible to flash for example a csc_version OXX or OXA from UK over one for Chine like ZC, Knox bootloader not permit because region not compatible.
Send me that data to see what is possible. Alright?
PS: You have access root already?

My SIM is with Orange (United Kingdom).
I am not sure what else you may need, but I have not "Rooted" the phone other than to download the "Region Lock Away" app.

This is not good. Your Model is a SM-N9000 and not a SM-N900. Is a Chinese Model unknown on Sammobile.
See on Settings / General / About Device... You must have Model number SM-N9000. True?
In this case You not have anything on Sammobile to this device.
See here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ write N9000 on white box on top right and You see N9000Q nothing for N9000
Anyway if You write there N900 You see many Rom's for many Countries but not for UK. There aren't UK CSC's for N900.
The Rom is a ZC, You can't flash anything from European XX Rom´s over it. And it have a single csc=CHN not have a Multi CSC (a CSC package). I unknown solve Your problem.
In this case I can't help You, is very difficult. Sorry.

CSC Code Won't Change After Flashing Stock Firmware

Hey guys! So, out of curiosity, I've downloaded and flashed the most recent Oreo from Russia (CSC: SER) thinking that I would like to try out the new Oreo software. After I've tried it, I decided to go back to Nougat by flashing the stock firmware (CSC: XME) I downloaded from sammobile.com. After completing it, someway, somehow, the device is now stuck in the Vietnam CSC (XXV). I've been downloading various of XME firmwares from the past and everytime it finish flashes, it will start up in Vietnamese and I'm stuck again with the Vietnam CSC. Nice that I'm able to get oreo with a Vietnamese CSC, but I don't want to use it because the Samsung Pay works different in Vietnam in comparison to Malaysia. And, I've no idea how flashing a SER and then XME would come out with a XXV CSC is beyond my imagination. Is there anyway for me to return back to my stock CSC without rooting and tripping Knox?

Opening the stock recovery completes the CSC installation, give that a try. It's expected to show "Updating 0-100%".

So, I have done some digging around the internet and found this link from the Sammobile forum. I've tried the methods in that forum, and it works!
If any of you have suffered the same problem as me, you could perform troubleshoot using this method. It seems that firmware for XME is actually multi-CSC and includes other CSC such as Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar and etc.. The Vietnam CSC is the default CSC.
So, here you go. This is the link: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/39155-How-to-change-CSC-with-a-combination-file
