[Q] Restoring product Code

Does anyone know a proven method to restore my product code through the nv_data file in the efs folder? Like many who flashed to Froyo on here, My code is showing as HKKOR and should be back to stock HKOPS (Australia). Or any other way if possible.
If not, will I be able to update to the official Froyo through Kies when it's released?

If you are with Froyo, Flash multi CSC JP3 through ODIN and select your area will set your Product Code. It worked for me.

use root explorer and delete both your nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 files and reboot.
correct product codes will be recreated from your .bak files.
kies checks your product code before upgrading, but there are patcher programs to take care of that, if you want.
both topics have been discussed to death previously, I kindly suggest you do some search before posting next time.

That sounds like it might work. Do you have a link for that JP3 Rom? and does it have to be JP3.
I had just flashed back to a clean JG4 just need to restore that product code.

Sorry, I just see that you're from Australia requiring OPS csc file.
JP3 csc file will not include Australia.
You have to find a multi csc file that include your area code.
Multi csc file ask to choose area amongst several, then when choosing correct area it set this area into the product code.

Hey guys, please, i have one btw question:
I have unbranded and unlocked product code I9000HKDDBT (Debitel,Germany), but i want put firmware XFJP7 with Multi CSC XXJP7 wich have Croatian APN settings...Can I make this without any dangerous ? At this moment im on firmware in my signature wich is not for my prod.code too, but fw work like a charm, and with staying my original product code in nv_data.bin without restoring (original from stock firmware).
Or: Can I put only Multi CSC XXJP7 with Odin (without PDA and MODEM files) on my presents (XWJP6) firmware?
P.S. What i must care, i will not to stay without Download and Recovery Mods (3-comb buttons) ?
Forwarding thanks on answer
Regards

I know, badly. I'm just trying to prepare for the official froyo when it hits. I have a feeling it will be a disappointment, then I'll be back to a rooted JPO or something. I was still on JPK

I've got 2.2 XXJPK (KOR), but not root. How do I fix CSC and update it via Kies?

Current firmware version: PDA:JPK / PHONE:JPK / CSC:JPK (KOR)
I uninstalled Kies 2.0.0.11014_49_2 and am now running 1.5.3.10093.82 (no reghacks yet). Obviously neither version of Kies would upgrade the firmware.
I see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163
Except the phone is not rooted. The phone is an international I9000 from Europe (not sure where as I'm in Asia and I bought it used outside of Europe). I'm assuming it's originally XEU but I don't know (also I see reports that official Kies flash for XEU has changed the CSC to KOR before for other people and as my phone is not rooted, I assume it had to have been an official Kies update that did this).
I've already installed a bunch of apps and stuff on it, in case that complicates anything.
On the phone there is an "nv_data.bin.orig" in the main phone directory (the phone is not rooted, I installed Titanium Backup which confirmed it wasn't).
What can I do? Can I see what CSC is in that nv_data.bin.org? And revert the phone to that, and then run Kies to get 2.2.1?
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Damn. I opened that file in Notepad and searched for the string "HKD" and found it still said HKDKOR, so I guess this is a backup of the current version which won't help me

I ran the Registry Patcher 1.7 with the previous version of Kies and it still won't let me update the phone. =\

First ROOT THAT THING!!! And backup your efs folder.
Then change your CSC to something properly.
The old 1.5 Kies was reported not working (somehow blocked via Sammy so you have to use the new one). So your only way is spoofing the new one (which I heard didnt work, just showed the new FW didnt allow to install) or to change the CSC.
Couple of things.
First what rom you have?
Kernel?
3 button recovery/download?
Did you apply any lagfix?
Dont do any of this till you reply to my questions!
1. Rooting with super one click root. This should be relatively safe even if you did something stupid before.
2. Backup efs folder so you dont loose your imei , this is kinda crucial as it happens from to time(on what you are about to do) and since you bought in europe you would be literaly f.cked . (after root use sgs tools or toolbox, whatever is in market) and send the backup to your PC, USB, mail wherever is safe, not just your phone.
3. If you dont wanna go custom and keep the stock. Well choose the best CSC you would like what would fit you. and check if it also has already froyo 2.2.1 good page is http://www.samfirmware.com/ (I changed mine which was IRD and changed it to XEU as that having updates sooner) . since I have no idea which rom you have, it might even work with that old code which is in SGS toolbox /tools or you use the automatic one from the thread you posted in the first post, the method wiht the IMEI and code.
Anyway dont forget to answer the questions before you do anything. So you dont end up with a useless brick

I rooted it before I saw your post using the CF-Root then used My Backup Root to backup all the Apps + Data.
I haven't done anything else yet. I just got SGS Toolbox, it says:
code in nv_data.bin
HKDKOR
code in nv_data.bak
HKDO2U

Okay, I backed up the efs folder.
Should I change the CSC with SGSToolbox and will that lose all my apps/data? And then I can use new 2.0 Kies to update to 2.2.1?
Or should I flash with 2.2.1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12159821&postcount=145

To the loosing, you wrote you did the mybackup thing, so you can use that backup (not on system apps and settings, that might go wrong, but apps, your custom launcher etc)
The changing of CSC (or flashing via Odin I think) or even a rom upgrade is mostly connected with the loosing of everything, even if you dont , a factory reset is recommended so there is no leftover garbage.
So if I was you. I would change my CSC to something nice. Like XEU (or NEE) and then upgrade via Kies. (Not sure NEE might be possible, but you can always try).
But its up to you if you do the ODIN or Kies. Not sure if kies will work and never used odin

Do you know if NEE lets you use English (US) for language?
EDIT: Nevermind!

[Q] Root lost after update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6

Hi all. I rooted my 2.3.5 note and all was fine until I updated to 2.3.6 via kies. In "about phone" in settings it still mentions root however Superuser doesn't work, nor will Titanium Backup. I used Dr Ketan's guide to root ( thanks Dr ) have tried to unroot and reroot but nothing appears to work. Otherwise phone is functioning fine. Can some kind soul help me sort my issue out please?

2.3.5 and 2.3.6 is not sufficient to describe ROM
what rom you were using first which was rooted, N wat ROM you have got updated
Describe Baseband version
Kernel version
from setting - about phone
And it is naturally when you update via kies, you will lose Root
You have to ReRoot, n that depends on which ROM you are having Now

Update
It seems that SU binary files have gone missing! Reinstalling Superuser has had no effect - Doh. Still need help!

Hi Dr.
Original baseband N7000DXKJ3 now N7000DXKL2
Original kernel N7000DXKK1 now N7000DXKL3

Ya many time i have seen this strange things happens in KL3, it reacts just like KL7/8/LA1, which are non rootable.
Once hard reset device and try to Root, if not success then Reflash to Old ROM
You will get Root easily on that.
Get Mobile Odin Pro from market, then Flash KL3 with Mobile Odin, n keep option 'Ever Root'Enabled.

Thanks for the quick response. I only wanted root to enable me to use Titanium Backup so I could freeze all the bloatware etc. I didn't want to use mobile Odin so if I had to send back my phone I could unroot it without affecting the flash counter or whatever it is, and have no probs with samsung service. As it stands phone works ok and bloatware still frozen but unable to unroot if I do have to return it. Also if I hard reset do I lose all my data? I was using Titanium to backup but that is obviously no longer working. Is there any way to restore SU binary files?
Kind Regards

if not mistaken, u can use USB Jig to reset that flash counter.

How can I reflash old rom when i cant use a root app and kies doesn't have an option to revert to old rom?

Read second link of my signature, Stock ROM for N7000
You just get old ROM from there and flash it with PC Odin.
These are Stock ROM, it wont give you yellow triangle or raised counter

Yes hard reset will erase all data
No other way without Root
Mobile Odin wont raise binnary counter
Any time you can back to stock(for warranty purpose) by flashing stock ROM with PC odin

As it is often mentioned that the KL7 is not directly rootable, I was wondering if in the near future it will be? I'd hate to flash my Note as I've already set up things the way I like (for now!). Just want to add some stuff, like titanium and ubuntu, that needs root.

@toadski how was your flashing of the old FW?

i want to downgrade by firmware back to 2.3.5 but i dont know what file to download. i cant remember my kernel version when i had my 2.3.5. can anyone help? this is what i have right now:

[SOLVED] Please Help to make Samsung S i9000 works again

Hi, I know you may get bored with my post, but after a week struggling I really ask for some experienced tech to be so kind to guide me to install a valid ROM and kernel.
I've rooted this Samsung i9000 and was working but then followed some post where it said that we should/could re-install a secure kernel. So then I found this post (pdf instructions) where there was a ROM and kernel, that I installed and now the phone has this small 'r' near the signal strength like when you are in roaming (cannot be deactivated as it's not activated in settings) and the wifi will never connect to my router, and 3G never works.
For the last week I've been trying to re-install all ROMs I can found in the forum compatibles, and for that placed it in the sdcard, rebooted in recovery mode, wiped the cache and selected install from sdcard, install:update.zip, tried all the options and always says that can't found update.zip (it is in the root of the sdcard.)
Phone info:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband: I9000XXJVE
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected]_8_2#1716
Build number: EZbase v2.00
Apps:
ROM Manager
Superuser
Thanks in advance

Updating problems (Stock GB to Stock ICS)

I recently went from custom ICS roms to stock gingerbread. I am having troubles trying to get the phone to update through wi-fi and Kies. When I try to update on the phone through wifi it says there is "no software update available". When connecting the Note with Kies it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". Anyone else had this problem?
The ROM I flashed via ODIN is:
N7000XXKK9 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXAKK9 -----------------Germany (Debitel) -------------------
I know I can just update via ODIN but I would like OTA updating to work.

Download OPEN Germany from three followinf link and you will have no issue with OTA
just flash 4.0.4 direct...since you are already on GB
do you need root? If so then instead flash the pre rooted GB rom on the same page... and yoi can use mobile odin then to wipe flash the 4.0.4 with everroot and supersu... That is what i would do...
Be sure to use a safe kernel if you plan on doing any wipes on ics

Well I read your preconditions and am not sure if I have everything correct. All I've done is flash the 4.0.4 stock ROM with Odin and still get the problem with Kies. Is there more I need to do?

why dont you keep updating via odin, Its faster then Kies.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I'm currently trying to sell the phone and the buyer may not want to do it that way. Rather than through Kies, I'm hoping to just get updating through the phone to be working. But I could just tell them to update through Odin if no solution is found.

Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Go by them one by one and eliminate them. If you cant figure one out, then ask
preconditions for update ota/kies
No root(for ota it doesnt matter)
All codes intact (imei, pcode)
All components installed of same rom and version of rom that was distributed through Kies or ota.
Rom csc must match the installed rom. Most updates aren't available because for phone csc there is no update. This is the csc obtainable throught dialing *#06# for imei then dial *#272*yourimeihere#. Note changing csc triggers factory reset, so do from save kernel should you like to change.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

have you reset your counter binary ?

Okay, now I feel dumb. Guess every problem/fix isn't always so technical. Believe problem was the wrong country/region was selected on the Samsung agreement and hadn't changed until I did a factory reset.

Okay, so I guess that wasn't the problem. A Singapore ROM had just happened to work while the others did not.

Edit2: Dudes remember do resets wipes only on safe kernels... Best done from gb.
Edit: made a way that could work for yah. Checking preconditions with some of the how to is a must. It saves following procedure. Anyway if you get stuck, follow this advice.
A way to get updatability functional throught Kies/OTA.
Restore efs backup of condition when first bought phone.
If none made, root phone and make one now safe multiple locations. (of the phone)
Then, if you know csc phone came with, download a rom for that csc, earliest gb possible, one that was distributed throught Kies or Ota. See www.sammobile.com for that. it shows a kies logo next to the rom in the firmware section. That is the one we are looking for. Should have in the zipfile a single tar file.
Now get a standard pit file and flash throught pc odin the rom with the pitfile. See dr ketans thread in sticky section development for that on how to do it. Do this all without external sd card or simcard in phone, never select clear efs in pc odin.
If phone doesnt reboot head into recovery and factory reset and clear cache. Reboot. After phone reboot dial *2767*3855# for ultimate factory reset. Do not change anything to the rom, no cf or modded kernel or different modem. You will lose all data.
Now after this completes,
Check imei, check csc as described earlier. All intact and inline with rom? Good, if not, select the csc of the rom press instal and let phone reboot.
Now check pcode:dial *2767*4387264636# this should be same as rom, and filled in. Pcode correct? Good.
Now you dont have root, codes correct, and an updatable rom.
Hook up to Kies and or ota update it!
You might need to check with different versions of roms(preferably gb to be safe). I found some weren't directly updatable, dont know why.
Notes
If imei is gone, reflash efs backup,
If nulls on entry with keyboard select the tar file in pcodin in cache and flash)
If pcode different, you can change, but search on how to edit it on computer with hex editor. Pm me if this is the case. I hope not. In the end its easier to start over with a rom matching that pcode that is there and selecting the coresponding csc
ps I have done this multiple times, all based on experience and countless hours figuring out how to fix it so I have way back should I want to sell phone in working condition.
All at own risk, I am trying to help, but can't guarantee anything, what worked for me may not work for others

I have been able to update from kies 3 times now, but last release just doesn't work.
My original CSC was ZTA, then I changed it to DBT when it was on 2.3.5 (GB).
Kies let me update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 to 4.0.3, then to 4.0.4 (I am currently on XXLRK, CSC DBT).
Now, kies says:
Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current firmware version: N7000XXLRK/N7000DBTLRK/N7000XXLRK/N7000XXLRK (ZTA)
How does it know my device was originally ZTA?
Why have I been able to upgrade via Kies so far and last update Kies says I can't upgrade?
Thanks in advance.

Kies has an update of itself as well from time to time and it retains and detects your very original copy of your ROM in its system (before you change your csc to DBT- Germany?)
Comparing it with the initial(checksum) and with your latest ROM upgrade, KIES sees some anomaly on your latest ROM (since its not on the right tree path), therefore its telling you now, your latest ROM is not supported anymore.
You were able to fool the software before.. but it's not going to be fooled second time already. Either you can revert back to your original CSC and upgrade it again thru kies (on the right tree path) or the second option would be to use PC /mobile Odin from now on to upgrade (to the firmware/ROM of your choice).

Or you can clean install kies, take out all registry keys files etc. But thats to much hastle

yep that sucks good luck!
Kor is default csc for I think Asians rom, or Korean. If csc of phone is not present it defaults to a default csc in rom. Its funny.
Messed up many times. Be safe
You can select your choice csc rom tar file in cache in pc odin, flash and then its selectable, be on safe kernel or gb rom just in case
