I would like to flash a new Europ. FW version (say XWJS8 = ver. 2.2.1) to my phone with PDA: I9000ZSJPD / PHONE: ZSJPE / CSC: ZSJPD and ProductCode GT-I9000HKDVD2.
Has anyone of you tried this? I am afraid of any problems since the ProductCode does would not match the Europ. Firmware.
Thanks for some feedback
i tried a long time ago from dxjg4 to xwjpa using kies(it was possible before)
totally changed my prod code from xso to kor hahaha
but i dont know about your firmware
I was on DXJG4 too but I flashed to European firmware without a glitch. Mind you, I only flashed the "international" european versions, the one with XX as first two letters. Just like stated above, the only side effect is that it will change your CSC product code to KOR. But just a couple of months ago I changed it to XEU without any problem.
EDIT: Oh yeah I used Kies (tricked Kies, not it doesn't work) before and now I use ODIN for flashing
I have a 2 week old Galaxy Tab which Kies refuses to update I did not mess with it in any way, no root, no aftermarket firmware whatsoever...
Current firmware version: PDA:JMG / PHONE:JMA / CSC:JM6 (LUX)
Model number: GT-P1000
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: P1000XXJMA
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9; [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.XWJMG
I got it in Belgium which is where I live but the firmware version says LUX which I assume means Luxembourg. Could this be my problem?
*#272*IMEI# choose your country CODE and press install , this is will wipe everything in your tab .... then check the kies after that
Thanks! I'm trying this as we speak, do you have any idea which sales code to use for Belgium? I tried EUR, it seems logical (Europe?), but I will try them all if I have to -- I'll report back later
Edit: it's not EUR, it shows some weird alphabet, Greek I think I'll keep trying!
Edit 2: PHN gave a Dutch interface but Kies refused to update it as well, so I'll keep on trying different codes
So I tried doing the sane thing (instead of checking each code separately and waiting 2-3 minutes for the device to reset) and looked up every code and the corresponding country. Here's what I got:
YOG (Spain)
XEO (Poland)
XEH (Hungary)
VDH (Hungary)
TPH (Portugal)
SUN (Switzerland)
PHN (Netherlands)
OPT (Portugal)
MOZ (Switzerland)
LUX (Luxemburg)
IRD (Slovakia)
FOP (Spain)
EUR (Greece)
CYO (Cyprus)
COS (Greece)
AUT (Switzerland)
ATO (Austria)
No Belgium... Does this mean I will never be able to update my tab?
I tried LUX (which is a neighbouring country and the code that came with the device) and PHN (which uses the same language and is also a neighbouring country) but when connected to KIES both refused to update
its mean you have to flash your firmware or ask from anyone to give you the CSC files that has your country that in case you are rooted and have CWM i doubt you don't have
so
in second chance follow my guide to flash your stock firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590
u must download your firmware , from samfirmware.com but before download any one , check if it has your country or no , by this link http://www.samfirmware.com/samfit.htm
start to copy the firmware code from each firmware up there and see if its for your country or no ....
is that so hard ?
Did you buy the tab from a carrier? This configuration looks like it was made by a carrier or a specialised business. Is it a work tab i.e you got it from work.
In your country the out of the box new tabs should be PDA: JMG Phone: JMF CSC: JMG

now he is yours , you are the pro with kies update
lol, I used up all my Google-fu and searched everything I could think of.
Anyway, I know how to root and flash custom firmwares -- I've done it with another Samsung -- but I just wanted to do this one the "official" easy way. But it looks like KIES won't play nice
To answer your question, I won the tab so I didn't buy it from a carrier nor was it SIM-locked. I'll see if I can find a JMG/JMF/JMG .zip somewhere and report back later -- thanks
cannot update out of box
even i purchased a galaxy tab from dubai but when i connected to kies it said my version of device could not be updated. but then i followed this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13682956&mode=linear#post13682956 to install gingerbread and now everything is working fine, market and everything else works fine but the pda field and csc field shows empty when i dial *#1234# .
Both of you have to flash a stock rom and repartition.
But if you have to do that, why not just flash stock gingerbread?

It's the exact same work to upgrade using kies as it is to flash a custom (or stock) rom using odin3 1.7 (or heimdal).
So in what way is it a pain?
u mean to say if i flash my tab with a stock rom then it can be later updated using kies when further updates are available.

I agree -- it's just that I was curious as to why this would happen with an out-of-box stock device.
I know how to use Odin (that is, I know how to follow a tutorial ), I've used it before to flash an Eclair to Froyo, but I'm not sure which ROM to use. I'm on samfirmware.com and downloaded P1000XXJMQ (2.3.3) -- is this the one I should use?
To be honest, I don't even know which samfirmware.com ROM I would need to revert to my current firmware version (PDA:JMG / PHONE:JMA / CSC:JM6)... I think it's either P1000XXJM6 (because of the CSC:JM6) or P1000XWJMG (because of the PDA:JMG)... It's confusing me
So I have 2 questions:
Is P1000XXJMQ a stock Gingerbread?
What ROM do I need in case I want to downgrade to my current firmware? P1000XXJM6 or P1000XWJMG or another one? Edit: I did *#1234# and assume it's P1000XWJMG.
By the way, CSC = Country Sales Code? (just a guess)
Edit: I'm going to flash P1000XXJMQ, I hope I don't brick it, wish me luck I'm a nervous wreck, I drank way too much coffee this morning
Edit 2: the one that samfirmware.com says is JMQ is actually JQ1... still looking for JMQ because I think that's a newer version
Okay, here's an update on what I've done so far and on the outcome...
The link for P1000XXJMQ on SamFirmware was actually P1000XXJQ1 so I went with that one.
According to SamFIT it's for the following regions: Austria, Benelux, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain; which includes Belgium.
I ran Odin3 v1.7 with Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time; I used PIT file gt-p1000_mr.pit and PDA file P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar; etc.
Long story short, I'm running Gingerbread but still no sales code for Belgium when I *#272*IMEI#... so KIES keeps refusing to update. It doesn't really matter now because I'm running the latest but I'd like to fix this for future updates.
I searched a lot but I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone give me some advice?

What message does kies state? Is it "latest firmware" or "cannot be updated"?
If it says "latest" then no update yet is available. If "cannot update" then your CSC does not match any firmware combination with samsung...
If you read samfirmware FAQ they have stated that the firmware they post is not official so they don't actually say that samsung recognizes them.

So far it's always been "cannot be updated". I knew it was a CSC problem, I just don't know where to get the right firmware. That's why I asked if P1000XXJMQ is a stock Gingerbread. I'm going to try and find a stock fw and flash it.
Edit: is this the right one: [stock rom][2.3.3] p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjpz ?
JQ1 is stock for Italy

This worked fine for me. Thx
I just bought a Galaxy Note from a friend, and when he got it it had already been rooted with a custom ROM. I want to return it to stock, because I've been having a lot of problems with data connectivity with this ROM, how do I know what CSC my phone originally came with?
I'm assuming it's XEO, because the box is in Polish and my Galaxy S II also has an XEO CSC and it's in Polish too. The phone shows KOR when I check, which I assume is Korean and I can tell that it did not come from Korea. I just want to know if there are markings anywhere on the box (besides the language) or in the manuals that let you know.
My first Note was from Polen and it had KOR.
So it is possible.
Expecting to received the Note 8 (SM-N950FD) in the next days...
Believe the Phone's Origin country gonna be another country other than Australia (It was listed "Direct Import" by a Australian Retailer) Link FYI
So I'm planning to download the Australian Stock Firmware ready
Just before taking action, would like to ask a few questions:
Q1) To make Samsung Pay works (in Australia), I only need to following this -->POST<-- instead of replacing PDA/SCS? Right
Q1.5) if above is right, is there any need/benefit to replace the firmware to XSA (Australia)?
-->This firmware<--
Q2) Does it work flashing combination of different PDA & CSC under different Country Section of Sammobile.com?
For example using PDA: N950FXXU2BQKG (12/12, it's not listed under XSA) (LINK)with N950FOLN1AQHF (Australian CSC)(LINK) ???
If ull have by default Samsung Pay, there is no actual need for making any change at all... If all works well, then leave it as it is... Unless it does not.... I have it by default on unbranded and unlocked N950F DS... Also OEM unlock is checked from the day 1...
Preface: Bought my S21 Ultra from an eBay seller with the assumption it would be UK based as it came from within the UK. However, it might be from Bulgaria as per the CSC code being set to BGL. At the moment this hasn't resulted in any major errors sans one.
I am unable to use Samsung Pay as I'm assuming the apps things it's a Bulgarian phone and as a result doesn't support Samsung Pay.
What's the best way for me to go about changing the CSC to BTU? I've already attempted this once by flashing an OXM build via Odin but this didn't change it as I expected it to.
Thoughts or suggestions very welcome!
I suggest trying to flash a BTU or OXA firmware as they are UK CSCs.
Also, try flashing firmware that's aligned to your network provider. This method worked for my Note 8 and I was able to enable the VolTE and other functionalities.

flashing BTU rom won't chnage your CSC. you have to use SAMKEY app. search for it in google and learn how to use it . there are couple of threads here in xda.
Good Luck!
