[Q] No sim error and CSC unknown - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to flash CM11 from Maclaw, but when I reboot, I get a no sim error and CSC shows as unknown.
I have rooted my S3 mini. The stock ROM is customised by Three UK (H3G). On stock the CSC is i8190NH3GALL2. I have unlocked the network carrier so that I can use other network sims.
It seems I am losing the CSC code when I flash with CM11.
Can anyone help me updating the CSC code after I flash CM11 or pulling the CSC code from my stock ROM to upload after I flash?

[Q] Flashing stock ROM doesn't change operator CSC...

I just bought a I9305 from my french operator called SFR and I flashed it with the stock ROM. After Wiping Data from recovery mode, I managed to get rid of all the operator bloatware but, when I connect my phone to Kies, it still telles me my CSC is CSC:MA1(SFR). Is that normal? Or is there something extra I need to do to get rid of my operator's CSC? Is that even necessary?
Thanks.
Hi,
As I tell you on Phonandroid Forum , everything is right.
You just have to check your CSC code by enter
Code:
*#1234#
if you want to manage your CSC code* just enter
Code:
*#272*IMEI number#
check your CSC. You should be in NEE area.
Now you can change it in
XEF (for France - not sure existing yet for I9305)
*Take care: full reset ( factory reset ) your device if you change CSC

S3 LTE I9305 kies not support udate problem help

Hi threre,my s3 lte i9305 was rooted but i installed the originla stock ee uk rom and reset the counter but kies still saying your device current firmware virsion not support update via kies..
i tried the change csc app but its not working and i cant find any option to change csc,it must got the original uk csc as i flashed the uk ee rom..
can you please help me to sort the problem.?
or any one got the diffrent csc files so i can try others..?
please help.
thanks
Did you try Factory reset? Reseting counter doesn't change your status. What is your Device Status? Normal or Modified? Also, you can dial *#1234# to check your CSC.
My CSC was changed to OPS or something after flashing Pandoriam Rom (made in Australia ). Few days ago I've came back to stock by using EE pre-rooted ROM from here. Now my CSC is EVR (BLL1 - EE UK)

i did the factory reset from stock recovery but still getting the same messege in kies..

is oem unlock needed for changing csc v3 bootloader and oreo

I have done several searches re the above.
As stated in a previous post I want to change my phone back to tel/tel/tel from xsa/xsa /tel ( xsa is generic unbranded phone in australia and telstra is a branded in Australia phone )
I have no oem unlock available as it has not been 7 days since I have flashed my phone.
should it be possible to change the csc without oemunlock with olin_csc not home_csc ( and using the other associated firmware files bl,ap etc)
and picking f reset time, auto reboot and repartition in odin .
You're good, oem unlock is only needed for flashing custom binaries.
I'm curious, how did you get xsa/xsa/tel? I have been trying to achieve this but haven't had success.. I have flashed stock xsa rom with Odin with CSC and wiped everything and it's still tel/tel/tel. I even tried Optus software and it never changes..

I did the below with oreo firmware
flash xef french firmware and setup without simcard or sd card ( you will get xef/xef/tel) then flash xsa firmware
both times use csc not homecsc. you will get xsa/xsa/tel
I
but even though I tried to reverse the above with the telstra firmware instead of xsa after reflashing french to try to get back to telstra but it did not I still have xsa/xsa /tel. no biggy samsung pay volte and richtext messages work still . Just thought I might get back to branded for something to do.

Note 5 N920A Lost Imei Lost Baseband

Hi.
I have Note5 at&t and it has Bootloader.
When I was trying to flash another stock at&t firmware, I've lost my IMEI number. As I learned, in order to get back my IMEI, I have to flash my old firmware, but I didn't memorize my old firmware name. And because of the bootloader, there is no way to learn old firmware's name with the root access. I can't root my device. Is there any solution?
Thank y'all in advance.
hi, i have the same problem, tried to downgrade to marshmallow but got an error, i flashed stock AT&T nougat firmware and now have no imei info or baseband info, i have tried flashing n920aucu4eqk6 and n920aucu4eql1 which are the 2 latest firmware versions but still having same problem...help! please
in case this helps anyone, i managed to solve my issue, i downgraded firmware to a 5.1.1 combination firmware, where the baseband and the imei were still being picked up by the phone, then i reflashed the phone with PK1 marshmallow rom (except i did not flash the CP file), only flashing the BL, AP and CSC files and now the phone is running marshmallow and picking up the imei and baseband information and can make calls and send text and picture messages.
thank you

Change CSC within multi-CSC

HI everyone,
I have a G970F/DS that has come with XSG firmware and I am trying to change the firmware to XSA
According to the image here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/how-to/g973f-g973n-multi-csc-firmware-t3903050
For OXM multi CSC
SM-G970FXXU1ASAT-G970FOXM1ASAT
SM-G970FXXU1ASBA-G970FOXM1ASBA
The XSG is in the OXM multi CSC and XSA is in the single - I do not know what this means exactly.
I have tried
Using the *#272*IMEI# code with both IMEI codes, but i do not get a menu after typing it in
Flashing with new firmware from http://updato.com/ with Odin with the sim card in and out
Formatting the device using recovery mode with the sim in and also out+putting it in after
Using Odin to flash VD2 firmware and then back to the OXM firmware
When I flashed VD2 I got VD2/VD2,VD2/XSG in the software information but this went back to XSG/XSG ,XSG /XSG after flashing the OXM firmware
The sim card I am using is an Australian one from Optus and Odin is 3.13.1
Nothing seems to change to XSA.
Am I doing something wrong or is there something else I need to do?
Thanks

You can try inserting a Singapore SIM to see if it triggers Late Customization prompt to reset phone to XSP. 272 menu works in XSP

I don't have a Singapore Sim but I will see if I can get one to try with.
Do I need to reset the phone with the sim in or will the phone ask me when I put the sim in if I want to reset it?
Which IMEI is best to use with 272, does it make a difference?
Thanks for the suggestion

It should prompt you, but you can also try resetting in the recovery menu. I have always used IMEI 1 with 272
Worked for me!!!

WORKED PERFECTLY on my S10!!!
Changed CSC code from ZTO (Brazil retail) to ZVV (Vivo) after flash CHT firmware (from Chile).
I don't know why, but 4g+ from my operator (Oi - Brazil) doesn't work on ZTO -- br retail (it gets only 4g), but in CHT/ZVV it works 4g+ flawlessly!!! Despite Vivo's logo, I'm so happy!

Once you flash a Multi-CSC and your active SIM is within the said list then it would restart and make the changes.
So if you want to move to a different CSC then just use a different SIM that has the specific you need.
