[Q] Appropriate CSC and ROM for Saudi Arabia - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Can anyone confirm the appropriate CSC and ROM for Galaxy Note in Saudi Arabia?
Actually I am having problem with updating my note with Kies (my phone is not upgradeable through Kies). I hope this is due to mismatching CSC and ROM and I think changing CSC might help but I am unaware of appropriate CSC and ROM details for Saudi Arabia.
Following is the phone, pda, and CSC info for my note.
PDA: N7000JPLA1
PHONE: N7000XXLA4
CSC: N7000JPLA1
Build Info: Tue Jan 17 00:51:31 KST 2012
Please note that I have an unrooted phone and the firmware was recently changed by the Samsung (I sent my phone for warranty for screen related issues).
Thanks in advance.

For the whole middle east region the current version is stil JPLA1...
it will take some time before you will get any update as typically the middle east region will be among the last to be updated...
so if you need a newer version...if you dont root and still need arabic reading/writing capability..i"am afraid there is nothing much you can do. If you are rooted than you can always flash a newer official firmware and apply RTL patch to correct the issue.
The choice is always yours.

I tried XSG code as CSC and now it is working fine with Kies.
Since I have LA1 rom it is not easy to root it. I will root it once I receive official ICS update.

[Q] NEED HELP - Problem to upgrade to FROYO 2.2

Hi,
I'm a brazilian beginner in Android.
I can't update my SGS with KIES, even using the Patcher.
Using the version KIES 1.5.3.10103.102 and Kies Patcher 1.7 , it shows no upgrade to my phone.
I bought it on EUA, it's unlocked.
PDA: JG5
Phone: JG7
CSC: JG4
Frmware version: 2.1 update 1
kernel version: 2.6.29 latin.umtsAsamsung#2

Does someone could help me? What could be happening?
I really want to upgrade to FROYO via KIES.
Thanks in advance

Please post a question in the correct section.Q&A
Does someone could help me? What could be happening?
I really want to upgrade to FROYO via KIES.
Has your network a Froyo update .Network as in the original network provider that the product code is tied to .
jje
Sorry, i thought here was the correct section.
How can i check about you said of network?
Thanks
Ask your network .
jje
JJE,
Even my SGS been UNLOCKED?
Thanks
If you can figure out what the firmware for your region is for Froyo you can update it using Odin even if you particular network provider doesn't have an update available for your particular phone.
Your phone branded = xxx Froyo update via Kies for that brand .
Unlocked is Sim only phones product code remains with original network seller .
Unlocking is only removing restiction to use a network .
If you have Sim for ZZZ on a XXX branded unlocked phone the product code for the phone and firmware is still the original xxxx and will update to that via Kies .
Other methods strictly speaking void your warranty .
Want firmware for the network you are on then Kies Registry patcher and spoof the product code to your new network .
Or via Odin use a generic non branded Samsung firmware to update .
jje
I want to update just with KIES, like a official update. i have some fear about use ODIN.
JJE: I will try differents code on Kies Patcher to see with it recognizes the update. Thank you very much.
JJE:
I tried all codes of BRAZIL but nothing happens.
I have a doubt, my phone is:
PDA: I9000TUBJG5
PHONE: I9000TUBJG7
CSC: I9000TUUBJG4
Should i try the code referring this "TUB" from my phone??
Thanks!!
No other suggestions bar have a look in this Brazil specific post .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919219

No progress...
My phone is I9000T ( the post says that is sold in Mexico ) but i bought in USA.
Is that some detail after select the CODE on Kies patcher?
Thanks
samsung has set the realease date for these firmwares in different countries and at different times!! sooo all u can do is wait or u can book a ticket to florida and upgrade it there.thats where i upgraded my galaxy s
happy days

[Q] Downgrade from 2.3.3 to Official 2.2.1

Hello there, my phone is an European factory unlocked, unrooted that i have upgraded to I9000XXJVK some weeks ago.
I'd like to know if it's possible to downgrade back to an official 2.2.1 so i can start again updating from Kies. I'd also like to know which Android ROM is official because there seems to be plenty of them.
All Android roms are official use the latest one for your phone .
All Android roms are stock Samsung roms not the branded rom that came with your phone .So no upgrade from Kies as Kies only reads branded phones id .
#
#How to use the search button and read the post downgrading 2.2 to 2.2
Kies upgrade fom 2.2 will require spoofing fw .
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
jje
What do you mean with branded? I bought my phone from Samsung and not from an Operator
In which case downgrade current firmware to one below the latest one for your phone on Kies . Then try Kies if it fails its due to your Product Code changing with the JVK flash . You may need to use spoof fw to change product code .
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
Branded as in Kies upgrades network branded phones by a matching product code if you have changed firmware via Odin codes may be incorrect .

Hi there
I actually did this today (as I want to await the official release on Kies).
Best bet is to use Odin to get to JPU: http://hotfile.com/dl/99955459/dea6962/I9000XXJPU.rar.html (this is a 3 file ROM - I used repartition).
Then use Odin to get to JPY (the latest official UK release): http://hotfile.com/dl/100618077/49a97b4/I9000XXJPY.rar.html (this is a single file - no repartition).
This got me back to 2.2.1 so I can continue to use Kies for future releases. You might also want to check your CSC is correct using *#272*YourIMEI#
Hope this helps.
James
In order to get back to 2.2.1 you have to Spoof a old 2.2.1 or a 2.1 firmware. To get Europe 2.2.1 you can spoof

So are you having any problems? You can use different PDA(rom) and CSC(sales code) as long as they are from the same android version. It shouldn't matter otherwise. The baseband version will affect your reception and is region specific(ie. What may work well in one region may not work so well in another) If you want stock samsung firmware, the version you install will replace the PDA, CSC and baseband that you have now.

hey thnx for the reply ..
ahan i see ok hmm i sought of got u but still the doubt remains the same which regions firmware should i download now?
My baseband and IMEI denote germany (unlike my CSC which denotes ireland) so should i download the kikkat version for germany or ireland? i reside in UAE so getting firmware of Germany/ireland that wouldnt be an issue ryt?( as i already mentioned the firmware presently in the phone isnt of UAE either n is either of germany or ireland ... so i know geting of a new firmware of these countries shouldnt ceate an issue bt just want to be on the safe side so i am asking u)

So I'm assuming you really want official firmware. I would suggest a custom rom but it's your choice. I don't think installing 4.4.4 official firmware will be a problem, only with the baseband as I mentioned earlier might be a bit hit or miss as it will be chosen for the region where it was released. Also once you install 4.4.4 I'm pretty sure you won't be able to go back to 4.3. The only thing I can suggest if you are certain you want official is try one, then if you face any reception problems or excessive battery drain or something try another one. You are not limited to Germany/Ireland either: By flashing the firmware you download, you replace the PDA, CSC and baseband.

Firstly ya i want the official one coz want to get back my warranty.i know i can unroot to get the warranty back but still i rooted it for being able to get the official fimware on my wish .. but i will surely check with the baseband thing n confirm whether the one i choose will work well i m my region(ie UAE) or not as u said its region specific( that is what u want me to do ryt before proceeding with a baseband Just being sure ..its my first time so want to be clear mate
The question of not being able to go back to 4.3 has confused me like i was willing to back up my current rom so anything as u mentioned arises, i would easily downgrade ! ?
Lastly i am downloading the offical kikkat (from samsung updates.com) so should i back my efs folder and imei as well?any help with that would be gr8

As I've mentioned before when you flash the firmware, everything is included such as baseband
Regarding downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.3, I have read reports saying the bootloader won't allow you to install 4.3 as it is not compatible, but I'm not sure, I've never tried it. Just google and read as much as you can if this is important(being able to downgrade)
Always have a backup of efs folder on your pc. This contains important stuff such as imei.

Hi, I have a question. Recently my phone was updated to latest software 7.1 however i wish to return to marshmallow. This firmware that u have available, will it work for my country Trinidad and Tobago? What are the implications for installing a firmware not meant for your country? Also just for confirmation. The firmware software that I am finding does not match my PDA and CSC number.. Will this be a problem?

Changing CSC

Hello guys,
I recently bought a Note8 on Internet and I received it this monday. Besides being really happy with it I noticed that no OTAs were available.
I took a look at settings and I saw under carrier version there is "XEF/XEF/XSG", which could imply that the seller has flashed a XEF Oreo ROM before sending the device and with the system infos being incoherent, this is why I can't get any new updates.
So this is my goal : I want to be on full XEF CSC so I can enjoy VoLTE, VoWiFi and receive the latest updates, by this I mean having "XEF/XEF/XEF"
Here is my actual version :
AP : N950FXXU3CRC1
CP : N950FXXU3CRB9
CSC : N950FOXM3CRC1
Model : SM-N950F/DS
And obviously the Oreo ROM associated with XEF is :
AP : N950FXXU3CRC1
CP : N950FXXU3CRB9
CSC : N950FOXM3CRC4
Thanks for taking the time to read this and answer!!
EDIT : So my problem has been fixed
I assume the model you have is the Snapdragon variant, not the N950F.
If so, I don't see any reason why it should not work once you ODIN to the XEF stock ROM

Hello and thanks for answering.
You're assuming it wrong no offense. I have the N950F/DS model (implying I have the Exynos 8895)
If I flash the XEF 8.0.0 I have with Odin, will my CSC match with the rest of the firmware ?
Yes, as long as you use ODIN to flash a complete ROM, then your CSC will match unless you manually selected another CSC.
I thought VoLTE was limited to US carriers.

Last question, sorry to bother, the last time I changed CSCs my Samsung had Knox already tripped, I have actually the XSG CSC, if I flash with Odin the same XEF ROM I have now, will I have XEF ?
It is my belief that Knox is also tripped when when one flashes different CSCs from the base firmware that is selected during the flashing process. I don't think you will trip Knox if it is a full XEF ROM (unmodified) by Samsung.
I think it is something like a failed checksum (not signed by Samsung) that really trips the Knox flag.
Alright, thank you very much, I'll try flashing the XEF ROM tomorrow and I'll see if there are changes

As long as you flash OFFICIAL firmware, KNOX won't be tripped!
This is the latest FW for CSC XEF:
Model SM-N950F
Model name Galaxy Note8
Country
Version Android 8.0.0
Changelist 13688770
Build date Thu, 14 Jun 2018 10:27:19 +0000
Security Patch Level 2018-06-01
Product code XEF
PDA N950FXXU3CRF4
CSC N950FOXM3CRF4
Your device will stay "XEF/XEF/XSG": you CAN'T change XSG to XEF (that's the Production-code of your device)
Your ACTIVE & SIM CSC is correct -> XEF!

So this means I can safely download the latest firmware to update my phone (since no OTAs are available) and update it. Which CSC file should I use ? There are two available (CSC_ and HOME_CSC). If I remember right the second allows me to keep my data right ?

Hello again,
A completely random question, if I flash a carrier ROM (with FTM CSC), will I have the carrier ROM, will I have "FTM/FTM/FTM" and will KNOX be tripped ?
Sorry for bothering

As I already answered earlier: when flashing OFFICIAL firmware, KNOX will NOT be tripped!
The last CSC will NEVER changed (Product-code): in your case it will stay XSG
FTM is also in a Multi-CSC, so I don't know if it will change to FTM/FTM/XSG
Why not stay with your UN-branded XEF/XEF/XSG?

Hello again!!
Well indeed I forgot that. Okay so now I know I won't be able to change the product code, I was wondering if when flashing a firmware that didn't contain the XSG CSC (my SIM card would apply the FTM) things would change.
And FTM is my carrier so I wanted to try all the features reserved to Orange's ROM
But thanks again for everything sir!!!
Quick updates on this story
Hello guys !!!
Here are some quick updates about my situation. I followed @henklbr indications to update manually my phone to one of the latest firmwares, I do still have "XEF/XEF/XSG" but it doesn't matter because my main complain was that I wasn't getting OTA updates.
This behaviour has been changed now that I'm downloading an OTA update to get the latest firmware and possibly the future ones.
I will mention all the people who helped me :

Changing CSC to receive OTA updates

I bought myself a supposedly brand-new, in-box SM-N960F/DS (so this is the dual-SIM version of the Note 9) using the Exynos 9810 from an online retailer in SEA. As it turns out, the phone has an Android patch level of Nov 2019, so I wanted to update it to the latest Android version available for the phone (Nov 2021). And that's when I found out that my set was an imported set from some other country in SEA, and about Samsung's *wonderful* CSC region-locking 'feature'.
Okay, so basically, I'm going to try to go to a Samsung service centre to see if they can change the CSC on my new phone so that I can receive OTA updates. Failing which, and this is the reason I am making this post, I would like to change the CSC myself and update the phone - using Odin, if I have to.
The phone is using what I believe to be stock ROM with a baseband version of N960FXXS4CSJ1, and a Service provider SW ver. of SAOMC_SM-N960F_OXM_XXV_PP_0010. From what I was able to gather, this means that I have a multi-CSC (OXM) firmware, but it is currently set to generic Vietnam (XXV). The two CSC combinations currently reported are XXV/XME,XXV/SKC.
Now, I have tried to change the CSC by using Google Phone and dialling the *#*#27262826#*#*, and that didn't work for whatever reason. I tried the *#272*IMEI#, and that didn't work either, for whatever reason. I guess I will have to flash a new firmware in myself.
I currently have downloaded via Bifrost both the XXV and the XME latest firmware versions (Security level Nov 2021 as of now). I do not intend to root the phone or anything like that (that said, AIDA64 reports that my device is rooted, for whatever reason). I have also downloaded the Samsung USB drivers for Windows and Odin 3.14.1 (both patched and unpatched). I don't know where I can get the OXM version of the firmware, which would be best, because dual-SIM allows me to slot in an Aussie SIM when I do travel over there.
I would greatly appreciate it if I could be advised as to whether I can simply flash the XME firmware and then receive OTA updates thereafter, or do I flash the XXV firmware and keep a watchout for future updates manually. Or, indeed, what my other options are. Step-by-step instructions would be nice, although I intend on following the tutorial as listed here: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-smartphone/
Hopefully, I will retain the dual-SIM functionality, along with VoLTE, Wi-Fi Calling, Call recording, and so on and so forth.
Thanks in advance!
just download latest firmware for your phone from here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (you can select country and operator)
put your phone on download mode and flash with odin. Done!
Does that mean I can disregard what the current CSC is, and I can choose whichever CSC (country) I am currently in regardless of what the Note 9 is set to at the moment?
Greetings all; would appreciate any insights as to whether it will be safe to flash the XME or XXV firmware into my device. I'm more than happy to provide additional information if that would help.
