Hi All
Im looking for a specific CSC file if any of you have it plz could you upload it for me so i could DL it from somewhere
The CSC file i need is for the XFV region
From what i could tell in version histories there are only a few of them out but i would like to see if there is a easier way to fix the you cannot update the firmware issue so we could probably document it properly.
The firmware dont really matter as i have most of them from samfirmware but i would like to replace the CSC to see if that would fix the problem.
This is for experimental purposes only and in no way will i or have a need to downgrade to a official firmware but seeing as i live in SA its hard to get the local CSC if everything is in the XEU region
Please check if you have one and let me know. I have a treory in terms of assisting ppl to get back on track with official firmware if they want to upgrade that way seeing as Bada 2.0 is close and a lot of ppl will want to go to the official release.
Have you tried the new Kies 2 hack found in the galaxy forum? it works well with bada due to there are all on the same server. I dont know yet how to find it, the forum is to huge.

No idea. I was looking around but the CSC file still reffers in registry to the Kies software. The problem with that is that your geographical location gets picked up by the Kies software and if that dont match your CSC you wont be able to trick it in updating your FW over Kies.
I want to test that and see if that makes a difference because your productcode can also still be changed in the registry but you need the correct CSC
If it works everyone that want to manually flash has a 5 step fix to revert to original. Im just testing a theory
Please see if you can find that and share it Thanks
That with geographical is not true, i am using german firmwares and i can update through kies in austria, already flashed korean versions and everything works.
Manually you cannot change the settings, maybe your firmware configuration is mismatched.

Last night i tested this and flashed back to XXJEG witch was one of the 1st firmwares out and knowing there is a update after that it still stated the same that the FW cant be updated. I have also tested multiple CSC FW combinations and cant get it to simulate my region to be able to update from Kies
Currently my Config looks like this
FW: S8500XXJL2
CSC: S8500OXDJL1
I installed JID and updated to JL2 witch atm is the most stable build i could find.
I can give you my xxji5 multi which contains every csc for open europe.
It is one combilation that i have made, in this time slyfer (my firmware downloader) have given me access to every samsung firmware.
It should solve your problems A bada 1.2 firmware with all csc i don't have, after the JL2 the downloader stopped to work, sorry.
You can choose what you want.

Hello toxicdust, you can use the Kies Registry Patcher as suggested by larioteo to install any firmware of your choice from kies.
It works and it's very simple to use. Like larioteo, I have also installed several firmwares from different regions from kies without problems.
I will give you a short tutorial on how to do this. You can also save the firmware that kies uses when upgrading your phone by extracting the files.
Now here is the tutorial. A screenshot is also attached.
HOW TO USE KIES PATCHER TO UPGRADE WAVE
1. Launch Samsung Kies.
2. Connect phone in kies mode (make sure phone is detected by kies).
3. With phone connected to kies, launch Kies Registry Patcher as Administrator
(Note: If you have previously connected more than one phone in kies,
you will be prompted that you need to cleanup regustry.
Accept/say yes, and then continue from nº 3 above, that is, start over again).
In kies Registry patcher,
- Click on the menu "Basic"
- In the option, "Enable Spoof" select "True"
- In the option, "Spoof Product Code as" Select "XFC" (e.g South Africa).
- In the option, "Spoof Software Revision as" enter any previous firmware version/csc for South Africa
example with Europe OXC previous firmware, "S8500XXJF7/S8500OXCJF3" (without the quotes).
- In the option, "Kies Version" enter the installed kies version. (By default, displays automatically).
4. After entering above information, now click on the button "Write Registry" to enter the data to registry.
5. Finally, go to kies and click on "Upgrade Firmware" and "Accept".
6. Kies will display that there is a new firmware version (e.g. S8500XXJL2/S8500OXCJL1).
7. Just click on accept and the upgrade process in kies will begin. That's all.
CAUTION:
Make sure you return kies patcher back to "False" after using, otherwise the app will be active at the background.
- In the option, "Enable Spoof" select "False"

Thanks a lot. Will try that tonight quick to see what the results are. Will let you know
OK then i wait, i am currently developing if you need the files i will post it for you or send you via skype.
Ok just checked now on this list for the release referances
http://www.scribd.com/doc/47859691/Samsung-Firmware-Langpacks-Descriptions-09-2010
The last official update combination was
PHONE: S8500JBJI2 CSC: S8500XFVJI2 - Bada 1.0
and
PHONE: S8500XXJF1 CSC: S8500XFVJF1 - Bada 1.0
Using both the combinations it says that there is no firmware update and this is the latest version.
Should i update to one of them to find out what the latest combination is because both cant be right right ?
Cross Version Updates can go in a bad way, you need first a full open firmware that is also available in your firmware revision.
Firmware Version Example: S8500XXJI5 (The base)
Config Version Example: S8500OXAJI5
The configs are not important if a other is available for your country, if not, then it it also important,
Litte differences can cause also a reboot loop.

Yes, wrong combination of firmware(PDA) and CSC can lead to an endless booting of phone.
Please use a correct combination of the firmware files for South Africa. If possible, install an earlier version of kies
[say, Kies_1.5.3.10103_102_1 (19 Nov 2010) or Kies_2.0.0.11011_16_5 (05 Jan 2011)].
This is because most recent versions of kies read firmware versions direct from the phone.
I have personally used the above versions with Kies Patcher and they worked successfully.
But when I tried with the latest kies version [Kies_2.0.1.11053_66_6 (15 June 2011)],
hoping to trick kies by entering an old firmware version (S8500XXJF4/S8500XENJF3) into Kies Patcher,
kies deteted that there is a firmware upgrade for my phone. When I clicked to upgrade, kies stopped half-way,
displaying that the latest firmware XXJL2 is already installed on my phone.
So to avoid this happening in your case, install an earlier kies version, and use kies patcher to upgrade your phone.
I include below some firmware combinations for South Africa. Try the combinations one by one (starting from the unbranded firmwares).
Hopefully one of them will work for you. Best of luck.

I installed this version to my phone yesterday (see the attachment) and since I have nothing to complain about (has there ever been ), I decided to share this release with the community.
Few facts about this version:
INTERNAL release (not official, obviously)
It is 2.1 Eclair
Build time: 2010.08.06 23:20:57 KST
Changelog: Unknown
PDA version I9000XWJM6, MODEM version I9000XXJM3
All CSC versions are I9000???JM1 and unbranded, but CSC´s for specific operators (Vodafone for example) are included.
I have not modified the code in any way, although I have repacked the release to make CSC selection possible.
Usually Odin3 images are provided in a single integrated .tar package which contain all of the necessary files. This way the CSC cannot be selected separately.
That is why I splitted the release in three different parts (CODE, MODEM, CSC).
Since Odin3 has flashfile checksum support I also added md5 hash tail to the .tar files. This way is more secure because Odin will not allow flashing corrupted images. Flashing takes a bit longer thou because the checksums are checked in the beginning of the update process.
You need to download two files.
GT-I9000_I9000XWJM6_I9000XXJM3_CODE-MODEM.rar
CSC_I9000???JM1 (CSC of your selection)
I know this is not nearly all of the excisting variants, but repacking the softwares is quite a slow process for certain reasons. I have access to pretty much any Samsung firmware, so if you find a variant missing you can send me pm. I can have a look.
Here is the description of CSC´s (included country variants):
DBT (Germany specific)
OXA *Multi CSC* (for France, Germany, Italy, Poland, UK, UK & Ireland)
OXE *Multi CSC* (for Baltic, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine)
OXX *Multi CSC* (for Austria, Baltic, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Switzerland)
BMC *Multi CSC* Unbranded / Custom apps: (Canada)
HUI Branded: (Tre - H3G Italy)
OLB *Multi CSC* Unbranded / Branded: (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam)
OPS Unbranded / Custom apps: (Optus Australia)
XEE - Nordic: (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden).
TMN Branded: (TMN Portugal)

Special request:
I9000OXAJF6
Mock-up, check post #182 for further information.
Extract the downloaded .rar archives to the same folder.
The archives are contain .tar.md5 files. Do not open them with Winrar for example. They are compressed Odin images which do not need unpacking.
So how to proceed:
Put your phone to download mode (hold down: volume down, home key, power)
DO NOT plug in your phone yet, Odin / driver does not like it at this stage.
Start Odin3
Tick "Re-Partition", check that "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" have been ticked.
Click "PIT" button and select s1_odin_20100512.pit file.
Plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.
Click "Start" button... <Firmware update start...> <Get PIT for mapping...> appear. The phone will turn off and the screen indicates "Reset". Wait until Odin indicates "Pass".
Plug out your phone, remove the battery, put it back in and put phone to download mode again.
Click "Reset" button in Odin and untick "Re-Partition" box.
DO NOT select PIT file again.
Click "PDA" button and select "CODE_I9000XWJM6.tar.md5" file.
Click "MODEM" button and select "MODEM_I9000XXJM3.tar.md5" file.
Click "CSC" button and select the desired version "CSC_I9000???JM1.tar.md5".
Plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.
Click "Start" button and wait until phone reboots with the new software version.
When using *Multi CSC* you need to type *#272*????# after the flash (in dialer). ???? being the current time displayed by phone. For example if the time is currently 6.25pm you need to type *#272*0625#. Then select the desired CSC version from the list and press "Install".
Regards.

Just flashed. Looks identical to JM2. I cannot try many things now (it's 2 AM here ).
You may want to add that spanish carrier Movistar is also supported. Detected the SIM and connected. Calls working. Wifi working. GPS unknown, I'm not going outside to try it now...

Yes, CSC is not critical for the phone.
It just contains (possible) operator customizations, country specific operator infos (APN´s etc) and sets preferences like default language.
Identical to JM2?!
Turn off the phone and you´ll see a difference
There is any difference compared to JM5?
What about GPS and lag?
Wait, don't tell me this has a built-in lag fix?!

Same Question
Improvments
I understand that some tweaks were put into one of the latest roms (forgotten the name) such as improved ram management and better battery life to name a few. Are this improvements also incoroprated into this rom? And would you be able to give a froyo release at the end of the month, i mean samsung should have deffinitly completed the rom by the last week of August if they want to test it and allow carries to mod it in time for end of september... right?
Quadrant says:
863
No lagfix
Just flashed and there's definitely an improvement in apploading speed(running 15 apps doesn't result in a black screen anymore when launching new ones). This is without any lagfix applied(was running jm5 + oneclick 2-3). Gonna try the gps now!
Numbers means anything. JH2 also gets that numbers and people reports that this FW it's much more fluid.

Quadrant scores mean zilch. Had 2358 before and the phone ran noticeably slower than my friend's desire.
I thought it might be helpful with a thread that keeps track of the latest official update via Kies in different regions. This way we can see what markets Samsung prioritizes and in general I think it's a nice reference to have.
I may add that another reason I wanted to create this thread was because we in the nordic countries still haven't got any official updates via Kies.
For clarification: I am only interested in updates available via Kies firmware update. Not test mode or any Kies hack.
I need input from you, the users, to fill out my list. I will start with the one I know, Norway.
Edit: I have finally gotten some input and I will try to update and clean up the thread as best I can/have time to. Please also include if you are on the stock rom or have updated via Kies.

I have a vodafone UK Galaxy S and kies wouldn't let me update past JM1. My phone is unbranded/unlocked etc.
1. First, dump the csc file of your choice from XXJL2 firmware. Save these dumped files at desktop.
You will need to use some files/folders here to replace some in the bada 2.0 OXA csc file.
2. Now use Trix to dump and edit the "CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXA_KG5" csc file
3. With Trix still open, go to the dumped files and edit as follows:
a. Delete folder "CSC" and replace it with the "CSC" folder from XXJL2 (the one you saved at desktop in nº 1 above).
b. After replacing, Open the new CSC folder and edit the "SW_Configuration" xml file:
<CustomerDataSet>
<CSCName>S8500OXC</CSCName> *
<CSCVersion>KG5</CSCVersion> **
* make sure the CSCName displays your own csc, e.g OXC, OXD, etc (should be by default)
** change the CSCVersion to KG5 (not JL2), and SAVE FILE.
4. Now open folder "SystemFS" ==> open folder "Settings" ==> open folder "PreConfiguration" ==>
...In folder "PreConfiguration", delete all folders and files therein except the folder "Default".
...copy in (to replace) from your XXJL2 dumped files (nº 1 above),
all folders and files from the "PreConfiguration" folder except the folder "Default".
5. Finally, upload the files in Trix and name it, e.g. CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXCKG5.csc
6. That's all. You now can flash bada 2.0 firmware with your own csc file.
NB: I have uploaded the OXC csc file (Greece, Spain and Portugal),
CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXCKG5 for those who may need it.

Yes, this method is based on the Europe XX firmware.
Works 100% for Europe as the files and settings are almost similiar.
For other regions, I don't know if the process may work or not.
Firmwares from different regions differ in so many aspects;
so I am afraid this process may likely not work.
But anyone from other region can try it and give us feedbacks.
Can I make a CSC file for bada 2.0 to Nordic countries?
What happens? Will I get Norwegian if I want? =)

Yes, you can.
Just follow the steps as described above.
You will get Norwegian (it's under the same csc for Nordic)
I have tried now, but It was not in Norwegian. Can not get Norwegian keyboard, but the settings are correct. They have not added Norwegian language and keyboard. Whether If I have changed the CSC file.

Hi spacks!
I followed your steps and created a CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXD_KG5.csc (with XEH because I'm hungarian) but when I flash it and do a preconfig to XEH it bootloops... What could be the problem??? I used this : CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXDJL1.csc for the "transplantation"
sorry for my English... Trix this is the program? if yes, where can I download it? and this method will work for Ukraine? (this is also Europe)
Hello anghelyi,
For all XX region firmwares, this process works ok.
I have not tested the XE region. Though XE is Europe, but the XE firmware is quite distinct from that of XX.
If you can upload the csc file from the last bada 1.2 of your region, maybe I can test it myself and give you feedback.
Thanks.

You can download Trix from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?twu1ixb6ei211qb
or directly from TriX home page
As this is your first time to use Trix, I will advise you wait and let someone else who is experienced do the check first if this same process works for Ukraine.
I have only tested it for XX region which does not include Ukraine.
I think Ukraine belongs to the XE region.

I followed your steps and created a CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXD_KG5.csc (with XEH because I'm hungarian) but when I flash it and do a preconfig to XEH it bootloops... What could be the problem??? I used this : CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXDJL1.csc for the "transplantation"

Hello anghelyi,
I have tried with the OXDJL1 CSC file you uploaded.
Same like your experience, as soon as you set pre-configuration to XEH,
the phone goes into endless rebooting process.
CONCLUSION: As this new bada 2.0 firmware is for the XX Europe region,
the process described here for creating each country CSC file
only applies to the XX Europe region.
Other Europe region like XE (Hungary, Russia, etc) will not work.
Thanks for your understanding.

Thank you anyway! As the SDK has hungarian language I think the final 2.0 will come with hungarian CSC, so it's more like interesting than a real problem Thanks again for your time!
hi ! . I have one ask I find it amusing to stop that one for it none app develop can!!! Why one cannot develop one app for bada where one the language which one needs in the mobile phone add can that would be super a geile app. Thus is that possible upper not young? and if not why?? You cannot do Androide oversize wave portieren however one spoke to add goes??!!! thanks

You need to know first, what csc Israel uses. If the csc falls under the XX Europe firmware group, then the process of changing csc will work for you. Otherwise, I am afraid not.
To check your CSC version, enter in your phone keypad the following: *#1234#

Hi, I have a Note2 (n7100) for almost a month now and I cannot update its software to the latest which is 4.1.2.
My phone keeps saying that I already have the latest one but I still have the 4.1.1... I also installed Kies on my PC also shows that I have the latest firmware.
My phone is not rooted. Could please help me? Do I need to change some settings on it.
Not only you but many others also having this, likely this is from samsung server issue not on your device. Or may be your country have not received update yet.
Simply download latest ROM and flash using it Odin, really odin is much safer and stable then Kies.
you can get more info from my signature, read N7100 All in One.

Thanks for the reply. I would like to know where can I download the official firmware that fit to my phone? Can I use firmware based in Regions Supported: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom. OR I need to download a different one.
below is the information of my phone
Baseband version: N7100XXALJ2
Kernel version: 3.0.31-310959 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMT
Build number : JRO03C.N7100XXALJ3
Hope to hear from you soon.
*** Using ODIN means just only update the firmware not rooting it? Because I do not want to root my phone. Just update it to the latest one.
Can you input here what you are getting by dialing *#1234#

Search 'samsung update' using Google, download any note 2 firmware you desire... (Don't worry I flashed France firmware although my phone is from Korea, it works perfectly)
Flash the firmware using ODIN...
1. DOWNLOAD Note 2 firmware (any)
2. Extract the zip file (Firmware that you downloaded)
3. Open ODIN, browse the md5 file in PDA...
4. Flash it
Done, easy... This WILL NOT ROOT your device... DON'T WORRY!
GOOD LUCK

Samsung Note2 unable to update
I have e same problem as minitokyo. I bought my note2 when 1st launched (1st batch), and software version is now 4.1.1. My phone is registered in Singapore with service provider Starhub. My phone runs on the generic platform instead of the service provider Starhub's platform . When i tried to update to 4.1.2 a few weeks ago, it says that i have "have the latest software installed". I just cant get it updated via phone (ota) or via computer (kies). I called Samsung , they cant explain too, other than offering to reset my phone to factory settings , which will erase all my data, so i do not want that. Until today, .i also cannot update. Where is the problem ?
Hi Everyone,
I'm from Australia and recently bought a SM-G781B off eBay...
Turns out it was a UAE variant and Samsung Pay is all messed up.
I've flashed the phone a few times now using ODIN, trying to get the right CSC correct for Australia (G781BXXU2CUB5) for either of the following CSC's;
XSA (Generic Australia), OPS (Optus), VAU (Vodafone), or TEL (Telstra).
The issue I have is all the Stock Firmware's I've download and flashed keeps registering my CSC as XME (Malaysia)...
Phone INFO app doesn't even detect any other CSC's in the package
I've tried downloading the correct Firmware packs from the following and none gives me the correct CSC for Australia;
https://samfrew.com/
https://www.sammobile.com/
https://samfw.com/
App: Frija Firmware
Does anyone know why this is happening, or can upload/direct me to correct firmware either XSA, OPS (Optus), VAU (Vodafone), or TEL (Telstra)?
I'm totally at a loss now...
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks heaps in advance.
from what I've read recently Samsung has stopped people being able to switch as of android 11.
maybe... I stress MAYBE according to your countryman Hugh Jefferys, if there's a lower version of firmware on the same binary number you might be able to downgrade and then that might mean you can switch CSC.
this is someone who's never even tried changing CSC telling you this so your own research is obviously the only thing to put some faith in.
good luck
XSG (UAE) firmware is part of the OJM multi CSC, whereas XSA/OPS/TEL are part of the OLM multi CSC. This means that it is not possible to simply flash XSA in Odin as the multi CSCs are different, you would first have to use the combination ROM to change from OJM to OLM and then you would be able to flash any OLM CSC firmware, whether that be Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, or Thailand. I'm an Aussie myself, I got my phone from JB Hi Fi but switched it to Thailand CSC since XSA updates are horrendously slow (Samsung Pay does still work on Thailand CSC as does VoLTE/VoWiFi). For your case though, I'm afraid you are out of luck in terms of changing the multi CSC with the combination ROM, if you are on One UI 3.1 then the bootloader version is U2 whereas the combination ROM bootloader version is U1, so you would not be able to flash it anyway. Also, I tried to flash the combination ROM while my bootloader was still on U1 because I wanted to change from OLM to OXM (Romania CSC) for fastest updates, but Odin was not allowing the flash first because of "please get the approval to flash factory images (pit)" which I fixed, then "please get the approval to flash factory images (abl)" at which point I gave up. So as I said before, sorry but I don't think there's a lot you can do Unless a U2 bootloader version combination ROM is leaked which may or may not happen and you can get around the Odin not allowing you to flash it issues, the phone will unfortunately be stuck on UAE firmware (unless there are other countries part of OJM which you could switch to for faster updates).
Hopefully this helps you.
I have the same model! I changed my CSC but for some reason chat features in messaging app doesn't work now..other than that, all's good..

Your software version is was originally XSA, so you wouldn’t have any issues flashing it with XSA and defaulting to XSA instead of another region. The CSC will automatically default back to XSA.
Mine unfortunately defaults to Malaysia XME when flashed with XSA firmware.

Thanks for the detailed reply.
From what I’ve tested, I have no issues with flashing from XSG OJM Multi to XSA OLM Multi. You can do this provided the FIrmware security number is the same as your current revision. You can’t however flash to a lower security value. See image attached.
The current firmware security value at the moment is “2” running One UI 3.1, Android 11. We can’t downgrade to any security firmware version “1” types with Android 10. If we could, then you can use multiple methods to manually change the CSC .i.e through Google Dialer or IMEI trick.
All the Firmwares at the moment are still Muti regional, unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the CSC manually even though they are Multi regional.
All XSA firmwares I’ve downloaded and flashed will keep defaulting to XME as that’s the default unless my original CSC was XSA to begin with for it to detect.
I think the only option at the moment is to use SAMKEY, unless someone comes with with a new Android 11 method...
The other option is to root the phone and ADB to change the CSC, however this would trigger and break KNOX securities.
I did check Samkeys update log and they state it’s supported now, this method wouldn’t trigger KNOX;
VERSION 3.63.9 (PLANET EARTH'S FIRST)
- Added support for G780F (Galaxy S20 FE) ALL BIT
- Added support for G781B (Galaxy S20 FE 5G) ALL BIT
- Fixed FAIL(16) on Slow PC's
- Fixed FAIL(20) on G780F
They’re actually up to VERSION 3.71.9 now.
Might be worth a try.

I can confirm SamKEY works on One UI 3.1, unfortunately it is paid but it does work. You can get an account for cheap from eBay with 1 credit on it which is all you need to do the CSC change. Using it I was able to change from XSA to THL (with no data wipe at all which really surprised me).

Trust me you wouldn't want XSA firmware anyway, the updates are terribly slow for it for the S20 FE 5G (not sure about 4G), it tends to get security patches a month after they should've came out, for example it got the March security patch in April which is pretty awful imo. I think it's the slowest CSC in general for the G781B, if you're on OLM multi CSC you're much better off switching to THL where the updates are a lot faster.

That's interesting, I didn't think it was possible to change between multi CSCs like this without the combination ROM (how you were able to switch from OJM to OLM). If you try to switch to an OXM multi CSC such as DBT or ROM from OLM multi CSC, what happens? Does it work? I'll be honest I never tried it myself but didn't have the motivation to try it anyway as I heard it wouldn't work.

Hi There,
Yes, im sure it works provided the security firmware version is the same as I mentioned above.
I also changed to BTU to test.
I can't test for you any longer as I've returned the device for a refund. Will go buy an AUS XSA Variant.
Attached are the images of my original and changed firmware for your reference.

That's very interesting, when you get the XSA variant can you try and see if you are able to flash a CSC such as ROM or DBT on the phone successfully using Odin? I would love to know if it was possible for this to work or not, I'm on THL myself after changing from XSA and did not think it was possible to switch to a different multi CSC (from OLM to OXM).

Yeah that's true no 8GB variant sold here as far as I know not even on the Samsung website and we don't even get eSIM support either
Is there an update/workaround on this issue?
are there any methods that work without samKey?
Noticed that the dialer app that was once able to record calls, is now recording only me talking, since the latest OTA updates on the stock firmware (updated to oneUI 3.1 and Android 11).
I'm also on XSG (OJM) firmware and want to change CSC to enable call recording on galaxy S20 FE 5G (model G781B).
Would love to know how can it be done.

thanks!

I'm sure by now you've already sorted this, but this is for future people with a need to change CSC
The SamFW FRP Tool can tell you which CSCs are available on your phone already, and can automatically have the CarrierPreConfig service trigger a CSC update. Only need to enable USB Debugging. No root, no reinstall.
But if your phone doesn't have the CSC you need already, download Frija, or another firmware download tool, you'll be able to download and install an OXM Multi CSC firmware (such as XSA, OPS, TEL or VAU), and install it via ODIN tool.
Be sure to select HOME_CSC to keep your data, and backup first.
