I have galaxy s4 i9505 and after region changing my csc is ALB, i can't get updates. What can i do? It is multi-csc... Region SEB, but CSC ALB.
So I will not get updates?
Hi
I had the same problem, I don't know why it happens.
I also have GT-I9505 and at first I had mismatch of PDA and CSC, my PDA was ME2 and CSC was BTU so Kies told me it doesn't support my firmware and thus I couldn't get updates. That was on android 4.2.2.
Then I installed the DBT (android 4.3) stock rom of Germany but when I entered Kies the CSC was still BTU and didn't change even after a factory reset so again I couldn't get updates, not via Kies nor OTA. Afterwards, I installed at last the BTU stock rom and everything was OK.
The Kies no longer told me that my firmware is unsupported and I received the MK8 update a week ago and gonna receive the new update which was released yesterday in a few days. Moreover, I forgot to mention that the Knox flag wasn't tripped after installing the BTU rom.
My suggestion is you install the rom which matches the CSC of your device because the CSC doesn't change after installing a stock rom so you have to adapt yourself to the CSC.

DTM is of Germany T-Mobile. Where are you from?
You had the German T-Mobile before and moved to SEB (Serbia) rom?

You can try flashing (via Odin) the new update which was released two days ago (MKE).
It was released for Germany and France for now but soon will be rolling to everyone.
I'm almost sure it won't trip the Knox flag if you do everything right.

Yeah that's an option also.
Also, did you try factory reset after the installation? If not, do it. It sometimes helps, in my case it didn't help to change the CSC to DBT when I installed the German rom.
I hope Kitkat will arrive soon to our devices. I can't wait to see the improvements and how did they change the TW.
Hi everyone.
I'm now on stock rom of United Kingdom (BTU) android 4.3 with Knox.
I want to move to the stock rom of Netherlands (PHN), also 4.3 with Knox.
The last time I installed German stock rom (DBT) my CSC didn't change to DBT and stayed on BTU and therefore I couldn't get updates via Kies.
I do not want to root my phone or change the CSC in "illegal" ways which will trip the Knox flag and so I won't be able to get updates from Samsung.
The last time I installed this DBT rom I tried already resetting my phone like 3 times and doing wipe data/factory reset twice or so and it didn't help in changing the CSC.
Before I install the PHN rom please provide me with a solution if my CSC will stay on BTU.
Thanks in advance,
Anyone?
hi guys. anyone experienced the same. here's what happened:
i was using i9505 glb kitkat (csc=glb=globe philippines). i flashed clockworkmod, then install carbon rom.
last month, i re-flash my original glb kitkat. then went to recovery. i noticed that the csc changed to sin (singapore singtel) without doing anything.
now my problem is what rom should i use next time i update to lollipop: glb or sin.
pls help and many thanks.
Is your phone SIM unlocked? If it is, it doesn't matter which CSC you use. Otherwise, stay with CSC GLB.
No. I used regionlockaway to make it sim unlocked.
Then as mentioned, the CSC doesn't matter. Case in point is my I9505. Originally an O2 phone, when I purchased it the S4 was already unlocked and had Ukranian firmware on it. When I installed the Black Edition UK firmware (CSC BTU) after repairing my S4's SIM tray and again removing the SIM lock, I ended up with CSC AUT (Switzerland) instead.
On an open firmware such as CSC BTU, there are actually multiple CSCs within the firmware, and all the CSC does is customize the firmware to the needs of a specific region. In the case of AUT, the firmware installed three Swiss-specific apps that could be easily removed. BTU and the other CSCs essentially do the same thing, and I am guessing this is without modifying the firmware itself.
Ok. Thanks guys. I'll still use glb firmware once lollipop is released. I had once semi-bricked my s4 (got repaired at samsung center) so i'm kinda nervous this time.
Hi All
I'm hoping someone can help with a problem I'm having.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005), it was sold as an unbranded UK variant (BTU). As the Lollipop ROM hasn't been released for the BTU CSC yet, I decided to try using the Netherlands (PHN) or Poland (XEO) unbranded ROMs as many others seems to have done. I flashed these ROMs (downloaded from sammobile) with Odin and did a factory reset.
This all worked fine but I've now scuffed my screen and want to get the phone back to the latest 4.4.2 BTU ROM in order to avoid complications during an insurance claim. Unfortunately this seems to be proving problematic, no matter what I do the CSC code is now staying stuck as XEO, and the default language after a factory reset is Polish.
I've tried reflashing the same BTU ROM the phone had before (N9005XXUGNG1/N9005XAGNJ3) with Odin, followed by a Factory reset in recovery wiping the data/cache, but after this the CSC is still XEO, so I'm ending up with the BTU ROM but with the default language as Polish. Can any suggest how I can resolve this?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Hi,
I recently recived my Galaxy S7 Edge after returning my Note 7 :crying: and it appears the Firmware's CSC is XSG G93FZKAXSG (UAE/AE) United Arab Emirates.
I would like to load the Offical UK Firmware XEU From Sammobile G935FXEU1BPH3
I found the Odin Guide
But Im unsure if this still is possible or if it would negitively affect the Phones OTA Updates or trigger the Knox warranty.
Any guidance offerd would be greatly apreciated,

it will not trip knox as it is a stock kernal. But OTA updates maybe effected as it is an unbranded firmware.
