Hello everyone,
I just received my Galaxy I9000, and made sure i can access the Download Mode and the Recovery Mode using the 3 button combos explained in the wiki.
I bought this phone in the united states, as an unlocked phone. Since i live in South America (Ecuador to be exact), i don't have an official version for this market and i'm using this international version I9000.
Checked the Firmware version installed and is the following:
PDA: I9000BUJP7
Phone: I9000BUJP5
CSC: I9000GVD2JP5
Build Info: 2010.10
Also checked the unlock status:
Personalization Status
Network Lock: OFF
Network Subset Lock: OFF
SP Lock: OFF
CP Lock: OFF
My phone's firmware is a provider one (Vodafone), looked in samfirmware to check for new firmwares, but i need some advice:
First, since my phone has a provider specific firmware, can i flash my phone with a "generic" samsung firmware?
If so which ones should i choose the European versions or the America/Australia firmwares??
I see in the list for europa versions this one as the last:
I9000XWJS8 ## 512.PIT Version 2.2.1
And for america this one:
I9000BVJJPD ## 512.PIT Version 2.2 2010 December
I was tempted to go for the european version but im just not shure.
Also what about the MODEM/CSC, do i need to flash those too? since those are also customized versions from the provider?
I dont mind loosing all the samsung apps, and the vodaphone ones, as they are pretty useless here.
Any advice on what is the best path to go from here is appreciated.
I bought this phone so i can learn to develop for android but im really new to this world.
Thanks
Search up goots tutorial. I think the CsC version just determines which stock apps get installed when you flash to be honest, I picked xeu because it's Europe generic but I dont think it matters
The froyo I had from goots link had multi CSC and you could pick and choose

You can use latest European version np. Im on it now but im from Europe but was on JPG 1 week ago and its from Asia. CSC is what gives you your APN for data traffic and the keyboard languages included but u can swap that easily using the Romkitchen or u can input your provider data manualy. Modem is your wifi, data network and gps driver you can use any the one from JS8 is very good so is JPG one. With modem its possible that with JQ1 u cant acces the 850mhz band immediatly but there are allreadu solutions to fix that on this forum.
Best advice i can give u is follow this guide:

Hi All,
My firmware is as follows:
PDA: JMI
Phone: JMA
CSC: JM4 (SER)
I have a UK unbranded Tab. I flashed a full JJ4 ROM and Kernel a while ago, and Kies updated me to the above. I'm happy with the device, but I want to update to GB and I think Kies sees me as being in Russia and not UK...!
Is there a stock UK unbranded CSC? What is the latest UK firmware for unbranded Tabs, anyone.
And just for clarity, I am in the UK. Thanks for any advice...
just fire up the dialer and type *#272*IMEI# and choose your country code
for your info this is will wipe everything in your tab
The only option there is 'SER'...

me too, my phone show me that it at Slovakia but i'm not , I'm now at Cambodia. so i would like to know which CSC that suitable for my device? and only one option in CSC menu.
is the update not yet available for my device to update i to Gingerbread? the stock room.
Dears,
I have flashed a new ROM into my P7300 8.9 tab using Odin 1.85 but yet I still don't understand some of the terms,
- What is the pit file? as I could see it is related to the partition, and when using it we are wiping the whole ROM right? is there versions for such file? what I used is p5, is there a newer one? if so, how to find it?
- What is the CSC and Phone files? when we have to use them or not? and how to find the latest versions?
- How to understand the naming in the ROM file? for example on SamMobile,
P7300XWKL4, P7300XWKK4, P7300UTKH6, P7300BVKJ5, and for the CSC, P7300ATOKI1, P7300OXEKK2...
as well in .md5 files
P7300XWKL4_P7300ATOKI1_P7300XXKJ6_HOME.tar
P7300BVKJ5_P7300FTMKJ5_P7300BVKJ2_HOME.tar
P7300XWKL4_P7300ATOKI1_P7300XXKJ6_HOME.tar.md5
what does these names points for?
thanks,

No idea about the pit file, i have never used one.
CSC shows what region it's meant for. I don't care about that.
Build number P7300XWKL4 Says:
Product: P7300
Included languages: XW (there is a table posted somewhere on xda about what languages are included with what letters)
Build year and month: K is 2011 and L is December
File name P7300XWKL4_P7300ATOKI1_P7300XXKJ6_HOME.tar
Build number P7300XWKL4 (already explained above)
CSC version P7300ATOKI1 (where ATO is CSC and KI is year and month)
Baseband version P7300XXKJ6 (not sure about the XX, it seems to always be XX for us and KJ is again year and month)
Many many thanks!
What about the number at the end?

Hi all,
how can i read non english language on my note?ita a regional indian language,but appearing all as blocks as shown in screen shot.on widgets and browser too.my note isnt rooted.
btw,i can read the same language without any problem on my ipad browser.
any ideas friends?
The issue is likely the fact that most Android-phones only ship with a very limited set of fonts, like e.g. the ones sold here in Europe do not ship with fonts for non-European countries.
http://chetangole.com/blog/2011/08/enabling-installing-hindi-marathi-unicode-fonts-on-android-mobile/ might help you, but you need be rooted. If you do not wish to root your phone then I do not know of anything you can do.
Change your CSC to india
*#272*IMEI# will show your current CSC.
If india (INU) not available on option, flash multi CSC.
I have used Europe/Germany ROM,In fact at presently I m on LC1 germany, and still i can read indian language support, as I have changed my CSC INU
Note : Changing / Flashing CSC will wipe off data, so make backup before it.

Its XSG now...and INU is not there ketan...lemme try...
Sent you PM link for multi CSC
Extract that file, N flash with PC Odin
Remember, Not to select 'Re-Partition'
And you have to select field CSC (Not PDA), And as i said you earlier, that will wipe off your data.

Thank u,got it.
I can use it even tho i'm not rooted?
btw,i tried using Fontomizer SP-Font for Galaxy n its showing the required font,but in a wierd broken way.
If you have not data issue, flashing CSC is best way, It is even better, when it was showing on SGS. Almost normal layout
ketan,I fashed the CSC file,but the india (INU) is still not available on option....
Oh
Can you download any indian rom?
Then flashed csc tab n point to that rom file in odin
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Extract it pw is samfirmware.com

Perfect!
Thanks to dr.ketan,its working now...i can read the native font now...

Hi all,
I have just bought me a galaxy note with 2.3.6 firmware,
And i wonder what does the PDA and CSC mean in the firmware upgrade to ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I don't really understand which firmware to choose...
I want to choose 4.0.4 but dont know which one.
I am currently using :
model number GT-N7000
android version: 2.3.6-mobile-star
baseband version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4CL886827
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
What is my PDA?
What is my CSC?
What is PAD?
What is CSC?
Which firmware can i choose?
What is the difference between all the firmwares?
Thanks in advance
PDA represent your build version
e.g your current build is Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6, then PDA version of your ROM is XXLA6
again XX represend for countries, XX means it is for europian country
If suppose your build info contain DDLPA, then DD represens for India and PDA version is LPA, means that ROM is for India
Same way CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234#
again first two digits represents country and last three represents release time.
But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)
Latest ICS is LRK for germany, you can use that too.
I see

Thanks for the reply dr.ketan now i understand something!
Just to make the picture complete:
when i dial *#1234# i get:
PHONE: N7000XXLPT - what that means?
CSC: N7000EULA1 - what that means?
I understand that because my phone uses PDA with XX i can use any EuropeanROM ?
Thanks a lot!
backup your efs first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606012
you need root for that you can get that by following dr ketans guide in sticky section developement.

you can update to any rom any time, just follow dr ketans thread and follow pc odin route
Updating throught Kies/ota is tricky, you need pcode sometimes of the country rom you want to go to, no root, and csc of that countries rom, and a whole stock rom installed for that csc. Best to just always follow pc odin route lol
also read stickies and threads fully cause a lot messed up by not doing that. One tip on ics do not wipe/factory reset
happy reading and searching

CWM and battery
I have rooted the N7000XXLRK successfully.
You mean that i can not install CWM application on that firmware?
So how do i backup the whole phone without CWM?
And another question:
i want to see the battery percentage on the upper bar and not only the battery icon indication, how do i do that? is that possible?
Thanks,
best, not to use cwm on a kernel that can trigger the emmc brickbug, best to use kernel like speedmod k3-11 or likewise which has the trigger for emmc brickbug disabled when doing anything in cwm, or in ics.
Dont wipe, factory reset, change csc, or delete large files on a stock ics kernel
to eliminate these issues read threads/first posts of kernel threads btw.
tip: use kernels based on tw, or stock for stock ics, kernels based on cm9 or other are not for stock..
tip2: when nandroid backup, and wanting to recover that, you need same kernel installed as when backup was made. So use a safe kernel
tip3 when recovering apps and data on different roms, issues can arise due to different database structures, which is why its not really supported on i.e. cm9
tip 4 Some roms are wipe some are not. when going to and from gb and ics stuff could linger, which could cause softbricks. There are clean ways to go to and from, enought threads on that's but always do it on safe kernel whatever wipe action

Download ur stock rom and extract the cache. img file from it. install this cache. img using pc odin selected in the csc tab
if you made efs backup with working ota, restore it, if you didnt, check if:
no custom parts installed (kernel)
Or parts that didnt come with same stock rom version (e. g. if you changed modem)
Or if your pcode is different.
pcodin is faster lol

Thanks for the explanation, but what do the letters PDA actually stand for?
(And please don't say "Personal Digital Assistant," because that's all I can find and I've been searching all day.) :fingers-crossed:
I'm sure it must mean something else when it is being used in a discussion of Android mobile phone software.
Does anyone know what "PDA" actually stands for, what are the actual words represented by that abbreviation?
Thanks in advance for your help.
CSC and Google Play App

thank you so much for your attention sir
