Hello,
I know it probably has been asked many times before but I can't see any answers.
Does using ODIN to flash the Lollipop update on my friends Note 3 mean that he won't then receive OTA updates after that ? He is a 3 user and although they have released the update he isn't getting it through OTA so I said I could update it for him with ODIN but I don't want to mess his phone up as it is all stock unmessed with at the moment.
Thanks
Not if you install the matching firmware that is the release for his phone .
Maybe if you install for a different CSC /Region/Phone Code .
Brilliant thank you!

I breaked knox counter twice {if that's what you meant} which doesn't allows direct update of software. But restored again.

> If you install the firmware from the identical CSC, OTA will work normally.
> If you install a different CSC, and the CSC is automatically changed to the new CSC after the install is finished (dial *#1234# to check), the OTA will work normally
> If you install a different CSC and the original CSC remains after the update, OTA will not work. To re-enable OTA: Do a factory reset through the Recovery menu to (automatically) change the CSC to the one matching the installed firmware.

I think that's all possible options.

Hi,
I updated my p7510 that i bought in canada (xac) with firmware xwkg7. I live in germany and wanted a european version of the fw.
I did the following:
-Update tab (pit, bootloader, csc, code) using P7510XXKFC
-Update tab (code) using P7510XWKG7
After the update recovery gave me strange error messages (/preload cannot be mounted and so on). However, I installed CWM, so I do not have these errors anymore.
I also did factory reset, wipe cache...
However, since I updated the firmware I cannot use "about tablet->software update->update" anymore. I always get the following error message:
"Failed to update firmware due to network or server problem. Try software update later (Setting->Software update->Update) or using PC software (Kies)"
Before the update this worked just fine (although no update could be found). I dont have network problems, as I can browse, chat etc.
Since the update Kies is also not showing my current firmware version on my tab.
I guess it has something todo with the country where I bought the tab (canada) and the rom that i used to update (europe version)?
Do you know or have ideas how I could fix this problem?
I dont like the feeling that somwthing is not working on my tab
Thanks!
Klaus
Try to reflash the stock recovery with odin and factory reset, that will recreate the needed data structure on the tab and try again.
Or maybe its because you mixed incompatible code/csc.
Start over.
I found the solution.
I described it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280069
In short: csc files were completely missing. This caused all my trouble.
Hope this will help someone.
Klaus
I have the same problem.
So if I want to fix I have to install csc and PDA files at the same time?
Does that mean all my data will be erased?
Could I just use csc?
Where can I find these files?
Sorry for the 1000 questions!
I am currently on vacation and can not tell you the firmware versions, but at Sammy firmware I found two European rom versions. One had also a csc file that I flashed.
Flashing the original csc file with Odin will do a factory reset. You could also download a custom rom, extract the csc stuff and copy it to /system,if you want to avoid factory reset. You have the choice
But if you use an original PDA/code file and flash it with Odin, csc files are not included and must be added afterwards somehow!

Hi everyone,
this maybe a very noob question but how do you change the CSC on the S4?
I recently flashed an unbranded UK firmware onto my Australian S4, back with my old phone, I was able to change the CSC with *#272*IMEI# though that doesn't seem to work now. So any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to change the CSC to a UK CSC so I'll be able to receive updates OTA or through kies.
1.Download the appropriate firmware for your region from sammobile.
2.Extract Hidden.img and cache.img
3.Now compress these two files together into a .Tar file.
4.Flash this in PDA section of Odin
5.You now have correct CSC

Is anyone having trouble changing their CSC?
I've flashed the pre-rooted UK Firmware, and used CSC Changer to set the CSC to BTU.
It automatically re-boots, but the CSC hasn't changed.
I boot into recovery and perform a F.Reset, and the CSC still doesn't change to BTU.
As far as I can tell, I'm following all instructions correctly from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824
"If someone want to change CSC, please use this app: Samsung Galaxy S2/S3 CSC
After using this app you MUST reboot into RECOVERY for the changes to take place.
Don't worry if you see some errors in recovery, it's NORMAL as "hidden.img" is excluded..
WORKS perfectly! TESTED!! "
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and I'm getting increasingly frustrated!

Tried that without success. Got a failure in Odin.
There's no hidden.img nor cache.img but hidden.img.ext4 and cache.img.ext4. Are these the correct files?
I downloaded latest btu UK firmware
Loaded with odin
Did a factory reset
Switched if and then went into recovery mode
Rebooted and btu was activated
I was not rooted

they are just ext4 formats so u could mount it on linux or something else..
use mkuserimg.sh command to convert
I'm also interested in this. I also changed from Australian firmware to UK. Since changing I've noticed HD voice (wb amr) is off (check by typing *#0011# into dialer then menu key>back>menu key>key input >enter '1' then wait till menu appears >WB AMR Status.)
Prior to changing roms both WB AMR Setting and UTMS WB was On. Now they're both off. I did some searching and apparently its tied to the CSC.
so.....how do we change csc to s4? i have installed unbranded rom, wiped but csc remained the same. how de we change this?

I am also stuck after trying several suggestions of fixes..
The Sammobile firmware for NEE (Nordic) gives a CSC of BTU, i previously had H3G
Looks like we will have to wait till DEV's get time to build a work-around.
Doing web searches there are several dodgy sites that claim older changers work on the S4 & also giving instructions to install via the old way with the 3 files, instead of just the PDA.

i just reboted in stock android recovery (hold vol up + home button+ power),and it said "applied multi csc....and it changed the csc to the my curent firmware¨s csc
I am trying to set my csc to BTU. Im using csc changer app.
However everytime I run it, I dont get a screen allowing me to choose the csc as they show in guides.
I know the app works, since its changed my csc from EVR to DBT (since my rom is german based).
What am I doing wrong?
After playing around with several stock firmwares and Odin, I accidentally stumbled upon a method to change the CSC of my S4 I9505 without the need to root the device. I successfully changed from the original TGY (Hong Kong) to SIN (Singapore) and then to DBT (Germany). This is what I did (in summary)
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 Settings > Accounts
Once device reboots after Factory Reset/recovery, enter the google account info and restore settings and then turn off the device
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

It's unnecessary to do steps 7-10. You may check your new CSC in recovery mode after restoring the device.

I was thinking so too but that's exactly what helped me to change CSC on my i9295 (very common with i9505). After the first wipe I still had the old CSC (I checked in Kies though). After the full procedure I have proper CSC in Kies. Probably there is a easier way but this one works also.

You had to restart Kies, it would show the new CSC then.

Of course I restarted Kies. I think what I have not done is entering Recovery once the Odin flash is done. Entering Recovery gives the following: Applying Multi-CSC... Applied the CSC-code: XXX (my new CSC here). And I think here's where all the magic happens.

At least for me, my device goes in to "Recover Booting" after each Odin flash as well as a factory reset. I actually tried a a manual recovery boot via Vol Up + Home + Power after the factory reset in step 6, but it did not change my CSC, hence doing all steps is what worked for me all the time. I once skipped the Google login part after the factory reset and it didn't work that time either and had to do another factory reset, google login and another re-flash.
I wish there is an easier way, the reason I have been experimenting with different firmwares is to see if I can get LTE working natively, since phone does not show the LTE option under Mobile Networks. We have 2 operators offering LTE here in Sri Lanka but Samsung only sells the I9500 officially here which does not have LTE, so got down my I9505 from HK. So far I have had to use Viaero 4G Toggle app from the play store to enable LTE, while it works, enabling LTE this way is a huge battery drainer!
but is there a way to extract CSC from a particular firmware and flash only this?
I used to do it on my S3 by using the hidden.img and the cache.img but if I try in Odin on the S4 it fails (
Hi guys!
After I flesh new firmware (stock ROM, no root) with ODIN 3.09, my CSC code is independently changed to a different region. I tried to flash several times and the same thing is repeated to the same firmware selects a different region, another CSC from successfully applied multi-CSC. How can I change and go back to my region CSC, without root my device (I have a stock ROM that is not the root). Thank you!
Try the dialer code below to change your CSC. Note that this will do a factory data reset as well.
Or use Odin to install a stock firmware from your carrier.
*#272*<IMEI>#
.
Wrong CSC
Try the dialer code below to change your CSC. Note that this will do a factory data reset as well.

*#272*<IMEI>#
Thanks for your help, but that code (*#272*<IMEI>#) does not work and I tried several times with ODIN to install the stock ROM in its region and always the same, successfully installed ROM, successfully installed a multi CSC, but other regions, not the one that was before.

If you factory reset right after the flash the CSC might stick, if not reflash the rom again without a wipe with Odin and it should be good.
Thanks I'll try
Hi guys!
I come here in a kind of dispair... I was using this firmware "I9505VJUGNI2_I9505ZTOGNI2_ZTO" in my i9505, then
I flashed trough ODIN a firmware "I9505XXUGNH8_I9505OLBGNH2_MM1".
After the process the phone reseted and updated, but as soon as it initiates, I just get errror messasges... I can't go to the system itself. The messages are constante.
I know the second firmware needed a diferent kernel than the one installed before, but I didn't flash it.
Than I tried to flach back the first firmware, but after the sucessfull flash trough odin, I still get the same error messages over and over... and worst... the second firmware is from Singapure, then the system language is not understandeble.
So guys, Waht can I do?

The best firmware for your device is the one with correct CSC. Follow this steps:
1. Install Kies 3 and conect your phone to the pc.
2. Take a look your CSC (pic attached)
3. Go to Sammobile.com and download the correct firmware (with correct CSC) for your device.
4. Flash this firmware through ODIN.
5. Enjoy :highfive:

Well, Thank you very much!
After some trys i could flash Phylz recovery, than wipe the system and install the Cyanogenmod firmware! Now everything works like a charm! But thanks for the help anyway! What you said will help me in the next time I flash other firmwares!
OTA and Kies show my software is up to date, which isn't true because the phone that was replaced had lollipop...thru an OTA.
Is there a way to force the lollipop update?
