[Q] modifying csc of 1file rom - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello guys,
i have a 1file rom with a product code that i would like to change to my providers product code and i'd add swype for my language, too
so after some searching here and there i might have found a solution that should work
1-extract cache.rfs from the 1file rom
2-mount cache.rfs in ultraiso to unzip sec_csc.zip
3-i change this file (get the same file from my provider rom and add swype inside it and resign it with updatezip-packager
4-i repackage this sec_csc.zip into cache.rfs with ultraiso
5-i repackage the rom into 1 file or 3 file with rom packager or with ramad's method
6-flash and be happy
is this method useable?
thanks

That's really interesting, I was thinking to do exactly the same thing! I'd like to take PDA and Phone from JVR, and use the latest official CSC file released for my country.
Your procedure is complicated by the fact that you're starting with one-file rom. I was wondering... if I alreadyhave the 3-files JVR rom, do you think that just replacing the CSC.tar.md5 file would work?

for two 3file roms just swapping the csc.tar does the trick
however i have 1file roms and i'm uncertain if it works here this way or not

You could follow this guide or better this script to transform your 1-file rom into a 3-file version. It should be easier.

How to extract a CSC file from a single file rom?

I want to try out the csc file from a i9000b rom on my i9000 but all I can find is single file roms.
Can I somehow extract the CSC file from it?
Rom is tar file unzip it .win rar works .
If inside is then image files open with Ultra ISO or similar .
Or build a rom with the CSC file you want in it .

None of the files are ISO. I get these files:
cache.rfs
factorfs.rfs
modem.bin
param.lfs
zImage
Also, the link you provided does not have any CSC for Brazilian portuguese. That's why I'm trying to extract it from the Brazilian SGS i9000b.

[Q] Add Sale code to CSC

Is there is a way to create my own CSC files where i can add sale code. I have unzipped cache.rfs from my operator (in my case it's Panama PCW) and copied all setting to "system" (include csc directory, CSCFiles.txt, CSC Version.txt and SW_Configuration.xml). Then i update SW_Configuration.xml to every other sale code file, so my question is how to put it back to cache.rfs and then back to CSC file. I would appreciate any help. The reason, that Panama Cable and wireless will never do any firmware update and just setting correct APN not always work, since there is much more in custom param to make it work, like MTU size, MMS, setting etc.
Thank you very much
The way i would have carried out the task is to cook a rom in the rom kitchen .
Download it and unzip it .
Change CSC and anything else .
Then use Update.Zip to rezip the file and sign it .
Then flash via CWM .

[Q] creating a gingerbread odin rom

Hi,
I try to make an odin flashable custom rom based on JVH.
The PHONE package still the same.
The CSC was replaced by a multi-csc with many france apn.
On the PDA package:
-i extract my pda package with 7z
-then all my factoryfs in a new folder with magiciso
-delete some apps
-use a script for deodex, zipalign and sign for gingerbread
-implement busybox and root
-use magiciso to reopen the factoryfs base to delete all and add my factoryfs folder that i've create previously.
-replace kernel by the last stable fugumod.
Then i repack with cygwin and flash with odin and pit 512.
Where is the trouble?
ps: this is just for a try, i think add many changes after this first step is passed!

[Q] What is inside hidden.img file?

Hi,
I want to flash XXLA4 ROM with OLBKL2 CSC and CF-Root LA4 using CWM Manager in one go.
I have these files:
N7000XXLA4_N7000OXALA4_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5
N7000DXLA1_N7000OLBKL2_N7000DXKL2_HOME.tar.md5
CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.tar
Inside the ROM package there are:
factoryfs.img -> this is System files (PDA), I will use XXLA4
modem.bin -> this is Phone modem, I will use XXLA4
zImage -> this is Kernel, I will use CF-Root XXLA4
cache.img -> this is CSC files, I will use OLBKL2
hidden.img -> what is this? should I use the file from DXLA1 or XXLA4?
I searched but found conflicting answers. Some said that it's related to CSC, so I should use the file from DXLA1. But, leaked samsung rom only have cache.img inside MULTI-CSC tar file (for example GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-OXALA3.tar).
I also noticed that some of the ROM package that I extracted have the same modified date for factoryfs.img and hidden.img, while different modified date for cache.img; meaning it's related to System files (factoryfs.img).
So, to know from which file should I use hidden.img from (DXLA1 or XXLA4), I want to know what is inside hidden.img.
Thank you so much in advance~!

cache is CSC
if you want to use another CSC file, just select cache in Mobile Odin OR in case of CWM, when it ask you to select file for Cache, you have to point to CSC file(OBL KL2 CSC e.g.)
I said you earlier too, that will wipe your data, as i remember you have not concern about losing data i think.

Yes, I know about cache.img is the CSC files, and I know how to use it with Mobile Odin or CWM Manager.
You are right, I don't mind factory wipe, infact I always full wipe before any firmware update.
What I want to know is about hidden.img...
Yes, I'm curious, I want to know and learn what is this image file contain.
Oh, and yes, I have flashed to XXLA4 using hidden.img from XXLA4...
It works.. But I'm still curious and want to know what is it..
Thanks again~

Use magic iso to mount that image file and see whats inside it
Well on my Motorola, it contains boot animation, wallpapers, carrier related settings (subsidy lock), and nvitems.
Hope that helps
It has binary counter trigger!! X10 lol
SHOT from my LOADED GT-N7000!!
Hidden.img is exclusive to carrier branded Stock ROM's.
In case of such ROM's cache.img + hidden.img together constitute the CSC. So my guess is hidden.img has some of the carrier specific bloat!
EDIT: Just saw that the hidden.img from the xwla4 ROM contains files related to the Samsung Gamehub (ngmoco)!
Thnx!
Delete hidden.img

Any idea if it's possible to delete "hidden.img" from the CSC tar file and then flash it to keep everything but the bloat?

yeh mate;
rename extracted file from xxxxxx.tar.mtd to xxxxx.tar and it should turn into a winrar compressed file
then you can delete hidden.img
after you compress them together and the only way i know how to do that is with the Unified Android Toolkit

Open the zip with Total Commander, delete hidden.img and rename the file without the .md5 extension.
Only leave .tar at the end of the file name.

pure BS. MagicISO or Daemon tools cannot open this file.

Ignorance is a bliss. Go google yourself on simg2img instead of following a 4 year old tip

[Q] CSC files via ODIN

Hello,
trying to repair an error that is bugging me to hell. When you run the recovery than thers a thing, this thing (error '/system/csc/MOT/system/', proceeding with MULTI CSC)
So I was thinking that when I would flash it with the correct CSC file from my carrier MOT (I9070MOTLE2) and get rid of the the Multi one.
And yes, does any one know why is my stock recovery written in red - is this normal? Da faq ;/
Thanks in Advance
I know that i can edit the previous post, but let this serve as a bump.
Is there a way lets say I could copy my carriers csc into the multi one and delete all others and then rename the whole flashable zip with the right name as it were my carriers separate csc file and just integrate it into the multi csc file. Probably I can do it this way, but in the multi csc zip there are three files in it;
- cache.img.md5
- GT-I9070_EUR_XX8G.pit.md5
- hidden.img.md5
so which of them should be modded to? How are those two files involved in the cache one which has the csc info? Why is there a pit file again? Or in other words.. which files trigger the correct order to successfully apply the modded csc.
If you can help me, I can guaranty that there will be "thanks" raining as Im not alone with this problem.

Have a nice day
