Hi,
I currently have 2.2.1 PDA I9000BVJS4 / PHONE: I9000BVJP4 / CSC: I9000ORAJS4 and i want to switch to stock 2.2.1 . My phone was bought from an online shop, not from an operator and it was not branded. After the 2.2 update via Kies i had a FW similar wich ended in CNX (Vodafone Ro, it might be I9000HKDCNX, not sure about it). Can you give me some pointers about which version of 2.2.1 should i flash it to and a guide how to do it ? last time i tried i got to the S of death and the only way out was a friend of mine which could only install my current firmware.
Thanks!
If you want stock 2.2.1 then search for EZBase. It has everything you need to flash to that with clear and very easy to follow instructions.

How can EZBase help ? from what I read it makes easier to switch between zipped roms.

Ezbase is basically stock + root,

humm, i don't want root, basically i want my phone to be in the optimal condition for warranty
Then go to samfirmware.com and choose appropriate firmware

As i descriped in the OP I am a bit afrade of flashing it without a proper descriptiun. Diggin in the forums and apropriate usage of the seach box lead me to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100906 ; i'm going to try it on monday
That looks like good thread, hope it all goes well, pm me if you have any problems

Optimal would be one the firmware that came with your phone or its updates via Kies ..
Second option would be current firmware Samsung stock rom version that matches your location .

Flashed to JPY as described above, set CSC to XEU and updated via KIES to JVO all's all right.
Hey everyone,
finally i managed to make an account here, cause i need your help. I´m looking for firmware that could have official updates via kies in Estonia (CSC: SEB). Can someone send me link of firmware that i could flash. At the moment i got error via kies: " your device does not support firmware upgrading via kies".
I flashed JVS firmware, but that has only few CSC in list, but i need SEB.
I think your best bet would be to go to Sammobile.com and look in their firmware section, they have a big range of stock firmwares. If you just want a newer Android though I'd recommend looking under the i9000 development section though, it's full of really good ROMs. Hope that helps.
thanks for that link, but i'm afraid there aren't any firmware for baltic countries. I need firmware that supports CSC: SEB.
Hi Guys...
I need some help to root my buddies XXLA4 galaxy note...
it is currently on gingerbread.
I need the zimage file to root with the easy rooting toolkit.
but i've read some sonflicting ideas to downgrade first etc etc
Any ideas?
thanks a mill guys!
LA4 is non rootable directly
-You need to downgrade first to get it rooted
OR
-Install Pre rooted ROM
OR
Update to ICS and root it
Thanks Dr Ketan...Was actually looking at your thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Basically what he wants is Just Stock ICS.
ICS is not availabe in south africa yet. so guess option 3 is out of the question.
he does not want custom rom so option 2 is out as well.
If you can point me to the correct thread to downgrade i would be most gratefull.
If it was my own phone i would have no worries to try stuff but here i only have 1 chance LOL
thanks again!!!
You can flash any Stock ICS ROM, not necessarily it shud from country you have purchased note/using.
If you check his CSC (*#1234#) it may be something like JV*** if it was from south africa
As JV code is for contries includes South africa.
So find ICS ROM having CSC JV*** will be closer to his/her home country.
here is two version having this code Turkey and morocco. have ICS released.
N7000XXLPY-------4.0.3-----------2012 May-----------N7000OJVLP6-----------Turkey
N7000XXLPY-------4.0.3-----------2012 May------------N7000OJVLP6----------Morocco
This will be closer.
But practically there is no rule, you can have Any N7000 ROM.
Thanks again mate!
So i should first downgrade to a lower ROM...
then Root....
then go up to ICS?
No you can directly Flash ICS, ICS is rootable.
But as i said earlier go clean, wipe cach and data then flash ICS.
Thanks!
So i'm going to use this file N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar
to flash using your guide ICS installation and root.
that is the one I used on my galaxy note.
thanks man!
Hi all,
I have just bought me a galaxy note with 2.3.6 firmware,
And i wonder what does the PDA and CSC mean in the firmware upgrade to ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I don't really understand which firmware to choose...
I want to choose 4.0.4 but dont know which one.
I am currently using :
model number GT-N7000
android version: 2.3.6-mobile-star
baseband version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4CL886827
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
What is my PDA?
What is my CSC?
What is PAD?
What is CSC?
Which firmware can i choose?
What is the difference between all the firmwares?
Thanks in advance
PDA represent your build version
e.g your current build is Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6, then PDA version of your ROM is XXLA6
again XX represend for countries, XX means it is for europian country
If suppose your build info contain DDLPA, then DD represens for India and PDA version is LPA, means that ROM is for India
Same way CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234#
again first two digits represents country and last three represents release time.
But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)
Latest ICS is LRK for germany, you can use that too.
I see

Thanks for the reply dr.ketan now i understand something!
Just to make the picture complete:
when i dial *#1234# i get:
PHONE: N7000XXLPT - what that means?
CSC: N7000EULA1 - what that means?
I understand that because my phone uses PDA with XX i can use any EuropeanROM ?
Thanks a lot!
backup your efs first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606012

you can update to any rom any time, just follow dr ketans thread and follow pc odin route
Updating throught Kies/ota is tricky, you need pcode sometimes of the country rom you want to go to, no root, and csc of that countries rom, and a whole stock rom installed for that csc. Best to just always follow pc odin route lol
also read stickies and threads fully cause a lot messed up by not doing that. One tip on ics do not wipe/factory reset
happy reading and searching

Ps: cf root kernwl for lrk not available, use lrg instead of that.
Or use custom kernel like speedmod

CWM and battery
I have rooted the N7000XXLRK successfully.
You mean that i can not install CWM application on that firmware?
So how do i backup the whole phone without CWM?
And another question:
i want to see the battery percentage on the upper bar and not only the battery icon indication, how do i do that? is that possible?
Thanks,
best, not to use cwm on a kernel that can trigger the emmc brickbug, best to use kernel like speedmod k3-11 or likewise which has the trigger for emmc brickbug disabled when doing anything in cwm, or in ics.
Dont wipe, factory reset, change csc, or delete large files on a stock ics kernel
to eliminate these issues read threads/first posts of kernel threads btw.
tip: use kernels based on tw, or stock for stock ics, kernels based on cm9 or other are not for stock..
tip2: when nandroid backup, and wanting to recover that, you need same kernel installed as when backup was made. So use a safe kernel
tip3 when recovering apps and data on different roms, issues can arise due to different database structures, which is why its not really supported on i.e. cm9
tip 4 Some roms are wipe some are not. when going to and from gb and ics stuff could linger, which could cause softbricks. There are clean ways to go to and from, enought threads on that's but always do it on safe kernel whatever wipe action

Download ur stock rom and extract the cache. img file from it. install this cache. img using pc odin selected in the csc tab
if you made efs backup with working ota, restore it, if you didnt, check if:
no custom parts installed (kernel)
Or parts that didnt come with same stock rom version (e. g. if you changed modem)
Or if your pcode is different.
pcodin is faster lol

Thanks for the explanation, but what do the letters PDA actually stand for?
(And please don't say "Personal Digital Assistant," because that's all I can find and I've been searching all day.) :fingers-crossed:
I'm sure it must mean something else when it is being used in a discussion of Android mobile phone software.
Does anyone know what "PDA" actually stands for, what are the actual words represented by that abbreviation?
Thanks in advance for your help.
CSC and Google Play App
I've tried a lot of ROMs. Some ROM makes impossible to install applis from Google Play Store. For example when using the Sweet V5 ROM, I cannot get Firefox nor Chrome from the market. It says my Galaxy Note is incompatible. Do you have any idea of CSC management ?
please help me

Hey developers,
I allways used to have HTC's, but now I have a SGS I9000. With HTC I know my way with flashing and stuff but now I got an issue. I don't know if this will brick my phone and I can't find too much information about with the search function.
So here goes, I got a hungarian I9000 from a friend, though I'm dutch. Now I want to update the phone to android 2.3 but there are no PAN (hungarian) updates available from Samsung, I tried the registry key hack with KIES but then my phone would disconnect as soon as I would start the update. Then I realised I could flash firmware with 2.3 from another compatible phone version, like the Dutch one. So I downloaded KIES and the dutch firmware but then I realised that if the firmware is not compatible with my version of the I9000 I would probably (hard/soft)brick my phone.
Also, when I put in *#272*IMEI# there is no option to choose between countries for me, which I read all over the internet there should be.
So please advice me in flashing a new stock 2.3 ROM, I really want it to be stock android
Thanks in advance :angel:
