firstly apologies for duplicate in q and a and the developers section but no one has replied back so Im hoping that someone is the questions and answers can help and put my mind at rest before i press that big bad start button on odin
I have a uk unlocked xeu version handset and can not physically change the csc for some strange reason
i have downloaded odin3 v1.85 and the german rom la4 ... i have everything in the right place and kies on my pc ... but im scared silly of going into download mode and flashing la4 from the dbt csc ... will it work ok on a uk phone without voiding my warranty ??
are there any known issues with la4 and can i return back to the uk version if there is ??
im probably worrying over nothing but have never flashed my phone before ....
ive posted what odin is showing on clicking on pda and then in download mode
is this right ?
I have also included a copy of my latest firmware on my handset I have looked on samsfirmware and cant see this in the firmware list so im now concerned amazon havent sold me a unlocked uk version as N7000XXKK5 isnt listed against uk on the firmware list ....
thanks in advance
I think you may have already flashed it now...

since kies does not allow my to get it by default I was wondering how can I get it without bricking my phone.
I bought this on orange, strangely enough it was unlocked.
it says baseband version I9000XXJM1
at the moment its running Eclair, how can I get it to run 2.2?
regards
sadly no reply so far. it might be the way I phrase the question
basically I want to get official English galaxy S on my UK mobile.
I dont know if its possible, or how
Yes it is possible to do and really quite simple.
I also have the Galaxy S on Orange UK and so does my wife also with basband I9000XXJM1
I have succesfully managed to get the official 2.2 onto not only my own and my wifes phone but also my friends LOCKED tmobile.
Every time it went through smoothly without a hitch.
Go to this link and follow the instructions EXACTLY.
It is a very good guide and makes the process very simple.
Let me know if it all goes through ok.
IMPORTANT!!! when the phone reboots it will stick at the glowing S for a good few minutes. DO NOT think your phone has crashed and turn off or take out the battery. Just be patient and it will reboot to a nice new froyo enabled phone.
Each time i have done it all apps and data have remained intact.
Enjoy.
Any more questions dont be afraid to ask
thanks zolah for your help.
this is sorted now.
Was yours directly bought from orange? Because mine was locked and branded with Orange jm1 firmware on it.

if you press *#1234# what does it come up with?
PDA
PHONE
CSC
everything
also does that mean you don't have a orange logo on the back of your phone?
mine was bought on orange from e2save or some other website. but not direct.

IS the phone genuine Samsung build ??

Hey guys!
I am pretty new to this forum, but have been hanging arround for a while.
And i gotta say that it has helped me with pretty much!
But now I have a problem with my phone, and i cannot find anything in the forums about it..
Any help would be appreciated.
So.. Yesterday my phone was giving me a hard time to boot.. For some reason CWM did not show the backups on my rom and so i couldnt restore it.
I downloaded the official I9000XXJPY 2.2.1 EU and flashed with odin, and my phone could now boot again..
However, today I noticed that there are languages missing in the phone, say for example input languages for samsyng keypad.
I have gone nuts searching the net about this..
Is there any way i can get these languages back without rooting and going backways. Is there any firmware that have the languages?
I would love it if someone has a solution to my problem.
I still want it to be a clean rom and so, so that I can update later on with KIES.
Speaking about KIES. When I connected the phone it says
"This wersion of the device cannot be updated" [1]
Why is that?
Also, not that in the picture it says (KOR) [2]
Why?
I would be greatful for any kind of help!
Thanks in advance!
NOTE: Image is attached because of first post, i must have at lease 8 post to have an url.
It reads KOR because I believe you have a Korean csc flashed. In addition, it is saying your phone can't be upgraded because it is not detecting the stock firmware for your region. Therefore if you want to use kies you need tobuse one of the spoofing methods found on XDA or find the right firmware for your region.
As for language, that comes from framework which makes me even more convinced you have the wrong firmware flashed. Later if you install a custom, deodexed rom flashed you can add languages just by flashing a theme that includes the language you want.

Speaking about KIES. When I connected the phone it says
"This wersion of the device cannot be updated" [1]
Why is that?
Two reasons One the obvious no update ie 2.3 is not on the servers .
the other reason is Kies cannot read the firmware product code and hardware ID and match to an update.
EG original firmware O2 UK product code xxxxx hardware id fffff firmware 2.1
Finds a match and downloads 2.2
Flashed stock rom its not the one supplied with the phone so .
product code ddddd hardware id ffff firmware 2.1
no match product code different firmware not from the network branded phone .
Stock is not original its Samsung firmware before the network supplier customises/brands it .
Thats why you keep a copy of your original firmware safe .

Thank you for your reply..
That is odd because I downloaded the firmware from SamFirmware under the Europe category.
Do you know where i can get the right firmware for JPY, if I live in sweden?
Thanks

When that is the case kies lists both your firmware and the current firmware (which match) and says that you have the latest firmware available.

I would check any android sites in Swedish. Sites will often have the firmware for the carriers in their country.

Thanks guys.. I'll dig a little after swedish sites and post the outcome here..
Ok.. So I found the scandinavian version and flashed it, and it is working flawlessly.
Regarding the phone being debranded, can this affect me in a bad way or is it just something minor?
Thanks guys, for helping me out!

Samsung warranty yes Sellers warranty no its not their firmware .
Technically no warranty but in practice stock firmware as opposed to original does not seem to be a problem for repair .

Hi Friends,
I see that the ICS Update will arrive sometime between may/june. i have a rooted Galaxy note using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
i just wonder when the time comes do i have to unroot to update or can i just update.. im new at this android world so i would appreciate any help i can get, thanks
Dont worry, sure you will get update to ICS
But how you have to update this can mentioned only after release of ICS, And yes it take few hrs to know just after release of ICS, you need is to just stay tuned here.
Just remember i said above in term of keeping your root intact. If you dont want to keep root, just you can flash Stock ROM of your country anytime, N just update ICS over Kies whenever it release over Kies.
Hi,
I have similar question. Previously I had a KK5 rom before I gave my note to Samsung in warranty for screen replacement. They flashed XLA4 rom and CSC is also changed now to JPLA1. Now KIES says it cannot upgrade my ROM. My question is: is it still possible to receive OTA updates (including ICS when it is available). Please note that my phone is not rooted. Thanks in advance.
To get update with Kies/OTA
your device should have installed ROM from your region, as well CSC should also be same as your region
Check CSC with *#272*IMEI#
Remember, changing CSC will wipe off data.
Sorry to bother you again. using *#272*IMEI# shows JED (which is correct for Saudi Arabia). There are other options to choose from e.g. KSA (which I think is also for Saudi Arabia but I don't know). Do you think changing will solve the problem? And is there any other danger (other than wiping the data) with changing the CSC? Thanks again.
Nothing more thn data wipe happen after changing csc.
Your installed rom shud b same for your region as csc.
If your rom is older for region, kies will show msg, you have update. If your rom is latest for this region, kies will msg you have latest firmware.
In other condition kies won't recognise your rom n won't allow to update.

Sure, when updating to stock you will lose the root, so you dont need to worry about that...You can look around and there are ways to flashing to next version if you want to mantain the root, tools like mobile odin can help you with that..... but i do recommend you to take a look arround the forum, you like me probably end up using custom roms

Hello Everyone,
I have a few questions I hope I will get satisfied here.
I have recently updated my GT-N7000 to ICS via this website.
android.gs/ update-samsung-galaxy-note-n7000-to-official-ice-cream-sandwich-lpy-with-mobile-odin/
I followed the PC odin method and in a few minutes I got ICS. It also said that via this method your phone would not be rooted and you will be able to get the official updates through kies in future.
Yesterday I saw on the internet that ICS for Poland is out and now I want the official ICS version via the KIES.
Now whenever I try connecting through kies I get the message that "Your Software doesn't support software upgrading via Kies"
What is the problem? How to solve it?
Download the poland version from sammobile.com or dr ketans thread and flash using pc odin
It would be better to download Polish 2.3.6, after THAT factory reset, and then upgrade into 4 through Kies.
when would i get official isc in serbija ? does somebody know?
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
The problem is the incopatible csc file... Try the solution provided as first reaction on your post. Either you dowload the old firmware, then you flash it over your current firmware and after this, the kies update should work again.
Or you simply download abd flash the pl. Update directly and kies will work for the future releases in poland.

Great job irritating forum members by hijacking another thread as your very first post... I am sure you will get tons of answers. Maybe read a bit before asking questions - there IS a dedicated ICS info thread...

Well Now I am having problem finding the firmware for my phone when I do this
Dial *#06# that will show hour emei. Write it down, then dial *#272*yourimeinumberhere# that will show your csc, you can change it here, it will wipe your data thought. I get XEO as my sales code.
*#1234# gives me
PDA: N7000XXLPY
PHONE: N7000XXLPT
CSC: N7000OXALPY
Build Info: Friday May 4
Also KIES says
Current firmware version: PDA:LPY / PHONE:LPT / CSC:LPY(XEO)
What to do now ?
Did you flash a polish gingerbread or which version did you flash?
Cause now it seems you have ICS open germany version.

My Sales Code is XEO previously I have 2.3.6 and then I flashed two days ago this
ICS via PC odin.
Now what to do ?
Well I dont know if there is a polish version of ICS out yet. But you can check that on
www.sammobile.com
But it shouldnt be any different than the rom you currently have. Except for maybe languagesupport.
So if I were in your situation I wouldnt do anything.
There is a simple solution for that. I did it for exactly the same reason as you. Just download official gingerbread ROM for your country /Poland/ and flash it via Odin. If Kies is still unable to use updates, you will have to find right CSC for your phone. There is allways more than one for each country.. because of different carriers etc. Someone described how to do it in previous comments.
If you get lucky, Kies will be finally satisfied with your phone and will offer you official update /if it is really available/
I have reverted back to the Slovak Gingerbread ROM because I had some issues with German ICS. Now I just have to wait for official update for my country..
I just read in development section that official ICS LPY is out for poland also. You can allways flash that through Odin.
I have downloaded and installed Country/Carrier Date Android PDA CSC
Greece 2012 July 4.0.4 N7000XXLRI N7000OXXLP8
from sammobile .. But it doesnt have the picture in picure feature yet in that version. Also i have noticed that the german version has better upgades and that the battery keeps longer.. So i have decided to install this one .. but i want to know if there is going to be any problem because my phone has a lot of csc codes but not dbt. will there be any problem when i install it??? do i need to choose from the ones that my phone has the csc code installed????
o u an install any version

are you sure? I dont want to break it..
Also will it change the csc codes that are installed??
or are they preinstalled fron samsung and they cant be changed ....? Because i would like to change it back to my countrys csc code..
I guess it will remain on ur country's code only cuz when I installed a diff country's firmware on my note the csc retained
As nokiamodeln91 said, csc will remain. It won't cause any problems to have the csc set to anything other than Dbt.

What i want to ask is that my phone doesnt have at csc list the code dbt which represents germany, will i have any problem after installing the german firmware without having the dbt code at my phones list?

no problem..except may be kies / ota updates.. but then u can always download the latest version from sammobile
Actually if you flash by pc odin or mobile odin the csc code is completely obsolete. It matters for ota/ kies updates only.
Sent from my Galaxy Note running ICS
I totally agree. When I flashed XXLRT I got from sammobile, and never bothered with Kies again. PC Odin was more reliable, having more control with the download and flashing. The release of Germany updates is also sooner than Kies or OTA for other phone.
