When I plug my phone to the computer it connects to Kies but it comes up with this message.
The phone was bought from Handtec UK they seem to have bought these from Poland and the startup language is Swiss.
The firmware on the handset is not region coded that's why Kies does not update the phone eg the firmware number should have (xeu) or (dbt) (specific to region for eg dbt is for germany) after it specifying the region, this one doesn't.
I'm going to send mine back as I don't want to root this phone.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Same here. But i thought an update would be available later?
Dont worry friends. When update for galaxy note is available in your region, ur installed version of KIES will be updated to support the upgrade. Theres nothing wrong with your devices.
Are on a Mac? The OSX version of Kies doesnt support firmware upgrades.

I don't think so, when there is no update it usually says you are on the current firmware.
this is a problem with the region coding. These devices don't have a region code ID suffix. For eg: XEU, DBT, XXF, ROM. These basically tell Kies what region the device is from. If that is missing there is no way Kies can update cos it will not understand what region the device is from. I think I'm right, pls correct me if I'm wrong
Thank you.

I agree. Seems to be another message than "you have tha latest firewire". I dont think anyone with a polish phone can use kies. But then again; l'm a complete noob when it comes to kies.

Um. I have a Handtec Polish Note.
Kies gives me the "Your device does not support software upgrading by Kies" message.
Doing a *#272*imei#* (Display/change CSC code) displayed region KOR.
I changed it to XEU but no go, just made my phone hard reset.
Device still unsupported.
Maybe it won't work in Australia.
This won't matter in the long run.
Success.
See here
So root is the only way? we are f*ucked!

I changed the CSC Code (kies wont allow you to upgrade if you have KOR code, as this is the generic one and it is not linked to any region)
Just type type in *#272*IMEI# in your dialer (IMEI=your IMEI number)and it will come up a menu to choose the CSC.
I choose DBT (Germany) and after that was able to update via Kies.
NOTICE THAT CHANGING THE CSC CODE WILL RESET YOUR TERMINAL AND YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA (factory reset).

I called Samsung and they have no clue whatsoever about this problem
Hi,
These are probably newbies questions but I could not find a definitive answer for them. Basically, I think I am having some mismatch between my CSC code and my location.
I bought my GT-N7000 in Senegal (where I live) a bit more than a year ago, with a GB ROM. A couple of weeks afterwards, I received an OTA update (pushed) without any issue, apparently the last one on GB. Then the Note was caught in a storm and the motherboard was fried. The local after-sales service ordered a new motherboard, which was installed in August. Since then, I have not received a single OTA notification.
A few weeks ago, I tried to force OTA to check updates, but I keep getting a Server connection error. I installed Kies but am then getting the Device not supported error, though I have not rooted the phone or changed anything from the stock base. I also tried both processes while visiting in France, using a French (Bouygues) sim card but with a similar result.
The *#1234# maneuver gives the following:
PDA: N7000UBKK8
Phone: N7000UBKK3
CSC: N7000CHOKK3
The CHO CSC code is confirmed on Kies. Apparently, this is a code for Chile, so I don't quite understand why I would have it for a Senegalese phone. When using the 272 + IMEI code, I also get the CHO code, with no alternative choice.
I tried looking through various sources, here and on SM, but cannot find any confirmation as to what the CSC code for Senegal should be (i.e some national code or a regional / open one), as I did not check this with my initial motherboard.
The local after sales service has no idea about any of this ("you should not try to update too much via OTA, your will fry your motor") and they suggest the current GB 2.3.6 ROM is indeed the latest one available here. So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to confirm this latter assertion?
2. In case there is in fact a newer stock ROM but the CHO "discrepancy" (provided it is indeed a mismatch) prevents it from being reachable on OTA and Kies, to which code should I change my CSC to make them available again?
3. Should this change not be possible (or the CHO code be the correct one), which ROM (most likely JB) should I use via Odin to be sure I will still be able to use any and all of my local setup. Since there is no reliable Wifi here, I have to rely on 3G (this gets all the more tricky since I am using a small operator (Expresso) instead of the large Orange one) so losing the expresso APN in the flashing process is not an option (I understand crashing APNs can be a drawback of flashing non-national ROMs on Odin, maybe I'm wrong).
Sorry if this is all very basic, but not finding any specific, local info is getting a bit frustrating
Thanks
You can try CSC Changer from play store but i doubt that you will find csc for your country there, even if you do and you choose it, it will format your phone. JB update is available in Africa but not in your country, nearest one being south africa and kenya. You can flash firmware for any of these countries. Regarding APN Settings: if you are rooted used TBP to backup your APN settings or even My Backup Pro can also backup your APN Settings which you can restore after flashing firmware for any of the 2 countries mentioned above.
Make sure to format everything from recovery (ofcourse after backup) and flash JB using Odin.
Good Luck!!!
Cheers!!!
Hello,
I just got my update for my S3 from 4.1.2 to 4.3, after I updated the system. Three things started to happen:
1. The Samsung Email application has disappeared and I cannot find it all in the Applications Manager, I also looked into the Google PlayStore and didn't find it.
2. When I open the Camera to take a picture I can't find any shortcuts to the camera buttons at all, and as a result I can't take any photos.
3. The mobile crashes a lot.
Because of these I backed up my data and did a hard reset. After that I ran my new fresh installation, but I found that the first two problems still exist in the new installation.
So How can I solve these problems? Please advice.
my guess is that something happened during update...something went wrong...even if the update is from samsung and is tested it can fail....
i suggest a clean install....get your contacts, photos, all data you want and save it...after that get the right firmware from HERE(it's the official samsung site)...
don't do with back-up/restore...get manually data you want to be saved.

Thanks for your reply.
My current problem now, I am not familiar with the firmware upgrade by myself. I am confused which firmware I should download and use?
Because my mobile is not tighten to any operator,I bought it from the middle east, but I can't find my country in the list of the firmwares.
Also I know if I did the manual firmware, I won't get any updates later for my mobile. And I lose the warranty, correct or not?
These are my current mobile info:
Model: GT-I9300
BaseBand version: I9300XXUGNA8
Kernal Version: 3.0.31-2454463
[email protected]#1
Tue Feb 25 15:25:04 KST 2014
Build Number: JSS15J.I9300XXUGNB6
PDA: I9300XXUGNB6
CSC: I9300OJVGNB3
AP: I9300XXUGNB6
CP: I9300XXUGNA8
if you can't find your country....get the one that is next to you...
in what country do you live in?
for example: now i got on the phone firmware from other mobile operator than the one i got the phone...got the firmware from Cosmote and bought phone from Orange(those are companies in my country)...it will not lock the phone on a specific network....no firmware can..
and NO...you will not lose warranty...as long as you flash firmware from samfirmware your device will still have Official status in download(odin) mode....it will increase flash counter(but that doesn't matter for warranty)...for them matters the Knox Counter...and NO...those firmware won't trip it...it will still be 0x0.
as for the updates...i check manually....when the 4.4.2 will come out(and it will) i will do it manually(to enjoy the update fully)

Thanks for your reply, it releaves me. I bought the mobile from Syria, and currently I live in Sweden.
I checked on sammobile as you told me, and it seems that Saudia has the same PDA and CSC of my mobile and the date is April. So should I proceed with this firmware?
Does BaseBand version has anything to do with firmware selection?
Also I read that from the Build Number you can know the name of the country, but I was not able to figure out the name of the country my mobile was directed to, as I told you I bought it from Syria, but the imported somewhere else. So do you have an idea about how to get the country from the Build Number?
All the information for PDA and CSC are provided in the previous reply.
DOWNLOAD 4.3 - has Kies support.
DOWNLOAD 4.1.2
here is the right firmware for your phone....is not branded to any network...this is all in one package...flash with Odin 3.09 as AP....it has CSC in it...
even if you got the phone from Syria should change the CSC for the country you use it in...it has network frequency stuff in it...
and yes you could read that code to find out from where the firmware is and when it was created
I have two s10+ devices, one has received software updates a few days after the release, however, my other device does not receive software updates. When the device was purchased, it received one software update, I had to factory reset the device not too long after that. After factory resetting I haven't had any updates, I had to flash the April update via Odin, the other device has already received the May update, and this one even after searching says software is up to date. I've tried Samsung smart switch as well, and it says the same. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks for any assistance.

I wonder if both of your devices are from the same region. You can go to Sammobile website and check the firmware info for your device that rarely gets updates. It will show the latest update available for that region/device

Both are from the same region, I flashed the April update via Odin after downloading the firmware from Sammobile. I just would rather not have to flash updates all the time via Odin. It only received one update, and then nothing ever since. The only thing I did after receiving the one update is factory reset the device and eventually switching carriers. I'm wondering if that could be why, but the other device I purchased is on the same carrier, and it gets the updates very quickly, both are factory unlocked devices.

Interesting. Haven't had that happen to me.
1) Which carrier are you using right now?
2) What is the model # of your phone and which CSC code, XAA or another one? - how can I locate your phone's firmware on Sammobile site?

I'm currently on the Bmobile network as I'm from Trinidad. The device that gets updated, the Software service provider is listed as TPA/TTT, TPA/TPA. The device that doesn't get it is listed as TTT/TTT, TTT/TPA. Both are on the same network. I downloaded the April update from Sammobile, the one listed here: firmwares/galaxy-s10-plus/SM-G975F/EON/download/G975FXXU1ASD5/267193/

Use attached SamFirm tool to search and download what you need and in your case it is either EON or TPA. You can start from flashing EON firmware and see if it will help you get updates or from TPA, your choice.
1) I would advice you to remove sim card from your phone
2) Use backup/restore in your phone's settings(if you need it) to back up your phone. Then do "reset" option in your phone settings to wipe it
3) After phone comes to "welcome screen", turn it off and put it in download mode for Odin and put 4 files where they belong and the rest you know...I personally use CSC files instead of HOME_CSC as I like to wipe the whole phone(you can try home_csc first if you so desire)
I also included the screenshot with your model and CSC code in it. Just check for update in the tool and you can change the EON to TPA if you need another firmware.
If you could take a screenshot of your software info screen, where it shows TTT/TTT/.... stuff and also after you click check for update on your phone, I wonder how the screen looks like where it tells you "software up to date"

I see that on the night mode device, the firmware is TTT and on the other is TPA. I think the TTT doesn't get the update, so use the tool and download TPA and flash your phone. If everything is good, I believe you should be receiving updates.

Correct, search for TPA instead of EON firmware and once the firmware is found, click download and the rest is the same. After that you would just unzip files to the folder and use Odin. Don't forget about the steps I provided before flashing

Remove the sim, factory reset the device. After that it will restart and boot to welcome screen. Put phone into download mode, start Odin, connect your phone, add files, flash firmware. After your phone restarts, it should be at the welcome screen. Now put your sim and see if you get any message that tells you something about "carrier settings..." which is good, then it will restart

So I downloaded the TPA firmware and flashed it, I also followed your instructions with regards removing the sim. When I reinserted the sim, no carrier settings showed up, and the software version still shows TTT, so I'm guessing the lack of software updates will continue.

I just saw the image. Flash again. For my phone, I had to flash 3 or 4 times before it changed the SW version. I used 3 different Odin versions as well.
Use Odin version that I attached here too. You need to flash and make sure the SAOMC_SM-G975F_OXM_TTT changes to TPA

Do I need to flash it clean once again with the CSC, or can I use Home_CSC to keep my settings as I've already started to set the phone up again. And mind if I ask what the difference in the versions of Odin are?

1) I mostly use regular CSC file as I like to clean everything, but try Home first, then regular csc if you don't like setting up the phone. Don't setup the phone next time until you get positive results
2) So I used "Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD" that I included in the thread and also used Odin 3.13.1 and 3.13.3
3) If after flashing again, it won't change the firmware, then do this: get EON firmware, flash on your phone following the list of steps as you did previously.
4) Put the sim card in and see if there are any messages about carrier updates. This message is a good indication that firmware is getting changed(unless on international model message is different from US version)
5) Check the SW version in settings and then you will need to flash TPA firmware again, which should give you proper results.
I had to flash XAA firmware, then TMB to make my phone change to TMB and it took me multiple tries

Ok, I'll try flashing a couple times. To be honest, I only started setting up the phone as I thought that was all that could be tried, didn't know there was some hope of it working after all. If I don't get to flash the EON firmware tonight, I'll be sure to try it tomorrow in hope that it actually changes. I think once it changes it should work, because the other s10+ and even the s8+ both have TPA and they're both unlocked on the same carrier. I have no idea why this one would have switched. As far as I can tell there isn't any TTT firmware for the S10+, there is one for the normal S10 however, so I'm really not sure.
I have recently moved From India to France. Unfortunately I can't seem to add my cards here since Samsung Pay only accepts cards from India. I created a new Samsung account in France but that didn't seem to make any difference.
Is there any way I can change the location for my Samsung Pay for it to work here? I read somewhere that I need to change my CSC region or something? Do I have to download the France firmware to do that or is there another way? Worried I might mess up my phone if I mess with it haha. I tried factory resetting it with my French sim but it didn't make any difference? Is it possible to do it like that/ did I miss a step or something or is flashing firmware the only way to go about this? Would appreciate any and all suggestions and tips so i don't break my phone haha as I'd like to keep it functioning and under warranty.
Also if i need to flash a new firmware,
1. Do i download the France(XEF) firmware or France(SFR) firmware(since the sim card i bought here is Red by SFR).
2. Is the PDA id basically the build number of my phone? since I'd need to download that specific firmware i think.
Sorry for the stupid questions. Would appreciate all the help I can get as I've never done this before.

Flash the SFR Firmware if that's your current service provider.

My AP ends with AUJ7
im guessing i need to match that to the PDA of the firmware im downloading?
for SFR there is no such PDA that ends with AUJ7 but in the XEF version there is. Does that mean i can only download the XEF version?

Hi
Flash a firmware from Europe , so you have available a french CSC
Then You need to change your active CSC to one from France , at the moment (without root) you have to use a pay service (samkey) , after that you can use you french account for samsung pay and add credit cards from that country
