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 .

BTU references the CSC code which determines the locale settings of the phone. To change the CSC code or what I refer to as the "regional carrier settings", enter the following code:
*#272* [IMEI #] # (without spaces)
This will bring up your regional carrier settings at which point, you can select the 3 digit code which refers to the country/carrier you wish to use the device on. For a list of carrier codes in alphabetical listing, refer to the following link:

It should work without issue: As an example, press *#06# on your device to obtain your IMEI number which will be 15 digits in length from left to right.
Once obtained, you would enter *#272*(IMEI#)# so as an example: *#272#123456789123456#
This would bring up the regional carrier settings. Hope there was just a typo and this works for you.

There's essentially 3 parts to your Samsung Galaxy Note 3:
PDA, PHONE and CSC. The PDA is the firmware (software) in your device, the phone is the modem (2G/3G/4G/LTE) etc... and the CSC is the Consumer Software Customization.
The PDA is your software the phone is running and your GUI if I can put it that way. The key components of the device are the Phone and CSC. The phone is the modem of the device which communicates with the network for wireless voice and data connectivity. The CSC is the software that configures the communication between your device and carrier specific network when it comes to data speeds and network connectivity.
You should be able to use the method I suggested to change your consumer software customization (CSC). If this does not work, try this:
Boot into TWRP by powering off your device and once off, power on using Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button (all at once). When you see the Galaxy Note 3 logo, let go and it will boot into TWRP. Once in TWRP, press the corresponding buttons to data wipe/factory reset and wipe cache. Once done, press the button to reboot and try the *#272* method. If this does not work, try the following:
This software application will manually force your CSC since you've rooted your device:
Download and install the busy box application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
The above is needed for the CSC Changer App to work
Once installed, download and install CSC Changer App: http://d-h.st/IpA
Open the CSC Changer app and select “Change CSC”
This will take you directly to the available CSC codes list on your device. Please note that you will be able to see many codes only if your device’s firmware has multi-CSC
Select your desired CSC and tap on “Install” option
You device will now reboot and when it wakes up, it’ll have the new CSC
Hope this helps!

Correct! Make sure the BTU ROM is one which supports your model. Once you have made the change, follow my link regarding ROOTING etc... and hopefully you'll have completed everything successfully. If not, report back with your results and I'll try to help where possible.

i have attempted to flash the BTU firmware.. it comes back saying invalid system.img4 file.
Bare in mind my phone is the 16GB model.. do BTU models only come in 32GB? is this the cause of it? Any way around this?

OK, I am new to this as well but a bit confused by your post. BTU just refers to the CSC code of your device which tells it how to implement the CSC (Consumer Software Customization). Since you are unable to load a specific carrier ROM onto your device which will enable the features you want (which are currently crippled), what I suggest is for you to change the CSC code. Once this has been completed, load TWRP and wipe the device completely and also wipe the cache. Once this has been completed, it's recommended you download a ROM which supports your model but enables the crippled features you want to ensure are enabled. Once the ROM has been loaded, use the CSC program if the *#272* method does not work and for the CSC, change it to reflect the 3 digit code for the ROM you just installed. At this point, you should be operational.
Hope this helps!

I'm misunderstanding something here. BTU just refers to the CSC as I understand. To further assist, please go into your Settings | General | About Device and let me know what your Model Number and Baseband version are. At this point, I will further research and hopefully provide enough information to get you up and running.
There should be no reason your phones in an incapacitated state.

Nearly the same problem here! I wanted to change my XEO Firmware to a DBT with Odin, but after few seconds Odin will stop with a fail.

I have successfully flashed my UK BTU to HK TGY
I had the same issue with I trying to flash with odin at the beginning (1 file that included Bootloader, AP, CP,CSC ) then I have done some research at a chinese forum and discover the way around it.
I was given the link for the same TGY firmware but this time is split into 5 files (BL, AP, CP, CSC) instead of 1 whole file. I played with some setting as I still having Big Fail on Odin.
Then I tried to flash just AP,PC,CSC without BL and Viola is work
Now my Note 3 is running TGY firmware

..

i have also TGY note 3, after flashing Omega rom, my firmware became:
AP: N9005XXUBMI7
CP: N9005XXUBMI5
CSC: N9005OXXBMI4
no idea which region the rom is, but it doesn't matter about internal memory sizes (16/32/64)

OXX mean multi.csc from some European Countrys like mine. You can see the CSC working on system/csc/sales_code.dat.
But BTU is included on OXA multi.csc.
Try flash this on recovery and You have BTU by default. (For me work, but flash at Your risk and reponsability).
Link Deleted. Sorry
To validate the new CSC You must reboot by recovery and make full wipe (data + cache + dalvik) and a new configuration.
Before this make a Nandroid Backup and copy Your efs folder to Your extSdCard and to Your PC.
Think... think... better before....

Can't revert to original CSC (BTU)

Hi i hope someone can help me ive been searching for a day now and no solution was working. I flashed my s5 with CSC BTU to firmware from Poland XEO. I was trying to flash back firmware for UK as it was original and it did but CSC is still XEO i was trying flashing again using different tutorials and using root and app it reverts back to XEO as soon as i reboot device. Tried restore in KIES too and same story. I get message in Recovery mode like Manual mode apllying multi csc apllied the csc code XEO successfuly applied multi csc. And that happens all the time. Any solutions to that please?

Easy to sort flash the latest BTU then keep wiping cache partition then reset keep doing this until it changes to BTU it may take a few goes before it does change.

Done it like 15 times already and no change? Maybe im doing something wrong? still getting that manual mode setting csc to xeo. why the hell this is happening?!

How did you check for the CSC?
Can you use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app and show all info in the CSC INFO section?
(original CSC, firmware's CSC and active CSC...)

I had this problem too. Heres how i solved it.
Flash the 4.4.2 firmware you are reverting back to and factory reset. Once your phone is set up download and install towelroot supersu and csc changer. Follow the rooting process to root your phone as shown in other guides here. Once rooted use the app to change csc to BTU. your phone will then factory reset. Once booted again flash the firmware again and once again factory reset. You should now have back BTU CSC like i did last night. Hope this helps.

new to odin & flashing. some info needed

Hi,
I have an S7 edge olympic edition straight from the games in Brasil.
It hasn't received any updates since September whereas ZTO Brasil has released multiple updates since then, as well as my provider (Proximus - Belgium).
The CSC code is G935FYTO1BPIF (notice the Y instead of the standard Z).
I'd like to flash the latest 6.0.1 firmware for Belgium - Proximus, but am afraid to brick my phone.
Can anyone tell me which steps I should follow? I found on this forum for example to not use the repartition option in Odin. But in another tutorial they indicated to activate it. Do I need to change some files or not (CSC_Home),...?
Also the multi csc firmware stuff only adds to my confusion.

Bumping the thread. I'm not flashing anything on my phone until I have a decent answer from you guys

1)You can flash stock firmware for you specific device and country using sammobile.com as a free member registration* Remember to download latest stock firmware for your specific model number and country, you can find your model number printed below on back panel of your phone*
2)Go there in firmware section and enter your device model no and country..( Save it to pc and extract it on your pc in particular firmware folder, you will now find tar.md5 file in that folder)..Now download latest versions of odin and Samsung usb drivers for your device( Extract those files as you did with firmware, install latest usb drivers on pc)
3)From your phone's setting>about device>software info>press build version for 7-8 times continuesly to enable developers option
4)You can find developers option below setting>about device..From developers option select oem unlocking and usb debugging enabled
5)Now connect your phone to pc in download mode( Press volume down+home+power button simultaneously, you are now in download mode..press volume up button to continue)
6) Run odin as device administrator on your pc from odin extracted folder, let pc to install device drivers and your device will be highlighted in odin..
7)Add previously extracted tar.md5 file of stock firmware in AP tab of odin, give it some time to be ready..In odin options let auto reset and reboot options checked..*Dont check repatriation option*
8) Now click start button in odin, flashing process have been started..Sit back and relax untill firmware is being flashed..After that your device will be automatically rebooted and you will have latest stock firmware on your device..
*DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK NOR I NEITHER ANYONE FROM XDA FORUM WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR BRICK OF YOUR DEVICE*

You can use SamFirm for free and high-speed download of Nougat (Model: SM-G935F, Region: PRO). Since you do want to change CSC for best experience in Belgium you can just use the set you downloaded and flash with Odin (a factory reset will be performed, use the standard CSC not the HOME one). There's no need to flash as admin or set OEM unlock. Keep in mind all olympic specific goodies won't be available afterwards anymore.

Just to put things clear: it doesn't matter which firmware I download as long as it's for an SM-G935F with exynos processor.
I do not use CSC_Home but the normal csc file and afterwards I have a standard s7 edge, correct?
And the chances of bricking it are quite low using Samfirm?

Yes, as long as you use a firmware for the Exynos S7 edge and flash it with Odin chances are towards zero to brick something.
The HOME_CSC is only relevant if you flash something with same CSC as already installed as you do not have to perform the mandatory reset then. This is, however, not your case.
Where you get the firmware is up to you, there's fw.updato.com where you can download from Google Drive (you need to use a trick if Google thinks there's too much traffic), there's sammobile.com (fast download costs money) or SamFirm (still works despite being deprecated). However, all three options are basically maintained by the same team.

Thx for the answer.
As samfirm is deprecated and there seems to be a problem with the fw.updato.com I'll go for the sammobile option.
Leaves me with the question: which options to use when flashing via odin?
I suppose droidhacker's guide is the one to follow: In odin options let auto reset and reboot options checked..*Dont check repatriation option* And with repatriation I guess repartition is meant Can you confirm this?
EDIT: if you're saying 'same CSC', that means from the same carrier? Does this mean in theory that I can flash any other Brasil (ZTO) firmware - which would then be a default s7 edge firmware, but without having to reset my phone? The CSC codes that sammobile mentions are each time different per fw version
Code:
Date Country Version PDA CSC
2016-12-29 Brazil 6.0.1 G935FXXU1BPLB G935FXTO1BPK3
2016-12-21 Brazil 6.0.1 G935FXXU1BPLB G935FZTO1BPL4

You click BL, AP, CP and CSC and select the appropriate file (for AP ist may be that it seems Odin hangs but just be patient as this is the biggest file to be read). If device drivers are not installed you need to install them, too. Put the phone in download mode (Switch off, then Vol down+Home+Power together and confirm with Vol-Up). Connect your device and click "Start".
I do not adjust any other settings (Options Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is ticked by standard, Pit tab is not used). The Re-Partition does not matter in case you plan a reset or need to do so it just should NOT be ticked if you want to keep your settings (along with matching HOME_CSC). This is based on Odin 3.12.5 from odindownloader.com.

It's basically fairly easy... if any questions just post here. (-:

I'm on UAE firmware can I flash just another county's CSC? I'm in India. Or do I need to flash the whole firmware? Is there a way to flash CSC without a factory reset?

Changing to non-default CSC within MULTI-CSC FIRMWARE

Hi guys,
so I own a non rooted Galaxy S7 edge (exynos) and I am trying to change it's CSC.
Prehistory:
I live in Bulgaria and bought it (back in 2016) from one of the carriers here - Telenor, so naturally it had a Telenor branded firmware (CSC GBL I think). I immediately downloaded the unbranded firmware for Bulgaria (CSC BGL) from Sammobile and flashed it. Phone started in Polish, but didn't have any extra apps or uncotabilities, so I left ti this way.
The problem:
With the new versions of Android the Polish CSC, which the MULTI-CSC for Bulgaria defaults to started having some apps (like samsung pay) that just crash when opened and started having some menus in the settings (like T mobile roaming) which just crash the settings app when clicked. I tried downloading several ROMs (The first Andorid 8.0 and several older Android 7.0) in an attempt to make the phone switch to BGL SCS, but unfortunately whatever I do it just defaults on the Polish one. I tried wiping the cache and factory reset after flash, tried having a Bulgarian SIM card inserted both during flash, cache wipe & reset, and startup, but I cannot change the CSC to BGL.
Notes:
1. Flashing Android 8.0 caused the bootloader to be updated to U2, so I cant flash firmwares with bootloader of U1, unless I flash them without the their bootloader, but this doesn't work everytime (I think)
2. I haven't rooted my phone yet and prefer not to. If I absolutely must I ask for a guide on how to do it without triggering Knox & with option to unroot it after in such a way that it is like it has never been rooted.
3. The Dialer codes for IMEI and CSC change no longer work. I only managed to make the IMEI one ( *#06#) work using a firmware from 07.2017 (flashed without its bootloader), but the one for changing CSC (*#272*<IMEI>#) doesn't work on it.
I'm stuck guys I don't know what else to do. I only want the phone to have a BGL CSC and to receive OTA updates. No root, no nothing.
Thank you for your time.
P.S. I searched the forums all day, but couldn't find a solution

Morning,
I hope you have found a solution to this already. If not.. You need to download a combination file which is the same version as the main firmware you have. eg. XXU2 firmware requires a XXU2 combination file.
Flash the combination file. When the device is rebooted in to factory binary perform a factory reset. now flash the "home csc" file from your main firmware pack. when the handset is powered on again open up the factory imei shortcut/app, this has a keypad type *#243203855# this will bring up the csc codes for your multi-region firmware. select the one you require and the handset will reboot. now just flash your main firmware and it will be the CSC you need.
