[Q] Can We Flash Arabic Region CSC on the Italian Gingerbread Stock FW?

This may be a stupid question but please it is legit for me a newbie...
I have flashed to stock italian Gingerbread-no problems so far. I want to replace my region from XEU to XSG which is the Arabic region sales code.

yup this is possible. i did something similar on my tab. flashed stock italian GB posted by chainfire and then replaced all my csc files with those for philippines (XTC, GLB, SMA, XTE).

Kabayan, ok I've read somewhere that you used root explorer to replace the csc folder. Where to get the csc folder that I need is now my problem.....
Would you mind to post a step by step procedure on how to go about replacing the csc sales code?

Can we use csc - arab from froyo to gingerbread?

@bongski55
i used sec_csc.zip from KM3 (froyo) firmware. if you have a copy of your old firmware, it is found in the cache.rfs you could mount it with apps likes ultraiso and then extract sec_csc.zip
@romy4321
you could use csc files from froyo builds.

i think it would work for both.

to be clearly , this is will make the tab totally support the arabic language or only for the modem 3g etc ?
EDIT : i just flashed it , and actually no affect at all , talking about if u want to change the locale to arabic or even if you wanna browse in arabic is not supported .. actually the CSC i know is for modem .
ok here is how you do it after u flash the zip . *#272*MIEI# and choosed EGY and press install ( this will wipe all your data ) . then your tab will reboot , but still doesn't support arabic in locale or even in browser .. so what is the use of it ?

just the 3G/Market issues...

i thought it will also affect on the locale , nvw thanks , am feeling good with overcome gingerbread because in their rom they don't include the modem , so 3g will work even if you are in the moon .. tnx

then i guess it's for those who just flashed stock italian GB.
CSC files contain settings for region/carrier for 3G and not really for modem.

So anyone succeed to get Arabic working ?
Or is there any 2.3.3. Rom supporting Arabic ?
Thanks.

There is still no official Arabic gingerbread release by samsung so there is only temporary patch to partially enable Arabic on Overcome Gold. Go to "the overcome experience" website to download the patch.
Samsung is quite busy with the upcoming releases of the 10.1 and 8.9 tabs so it will take a while for the updates. Even the Italian gingerbread had become unofficial now that it has been pulled out.
If I were you you can write a letter to samsung to pressure them to release an arabic gb..

As I don't like to come back to Froyo, I'll try Overcome Gold Rom and try the arabic patch.

[Q] Font problem on Galaxy Note[Solved]

Hi all,
how can i read non english language on my note?ita a regional indian language,but appearing all as blocks as shown in screen shot.on widgets and browser too.my note isnt rooted.
btw,i can read the same language without any problem on my ipad browser.
any ideas friends?

The issue is likely the fact that most Android-phones only ship with a very limited set of fonts, like e.g. the ones sold here in Europe do not ship with fonts for non-European countries.
http://chetangole.com/blog/2011/08/enabling-installing-hindi-marathi-unicode-fonts-on-android-mobile/ might help you, but you need be rooted. If you do not wish to root your phone then I do not know of anything you can do.

Change your CSC to india
*#272*IMEI# will show your current CSC.
If india (INU) not available on option, flash multi CSC.
I have used Europe/Germany ROM,In fact at presently I m on LC1 germany, and still i can read indian language support, as I have changed my CSC INU
Note : Changing / Flashing CSC will wipe off data, so make backup before it.

What does PDA, CSC mean? which firmware to choose

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!

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

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.

upgrade not supported
Even if I flashed the official 4.0.4 firmware ORS version - N7000XXLRI_N7000OXXLP8_N7000XXLRB_HOME, I'm unable to upgrade firmware via Kies. The Kies writes the upgrade is not supported, actual version: PDA:LRI, Phone:LRB, CSC LP8 (KOR).
I need to send the device to service, how can I make the phone compatibile with kies again?
#272*.... returns connection problem or invalid MMI
Thank you

i dont think they will care if its connecting to kies or not... if on an official firmware and no counter, they will be more than happy

why are you sending it in?
you made efs backup before flashing any rom?
The rom you flashed same csc as original on phone?
You are not rooted?
You have all components of same rom version?
Rom on it is it a stock rom?

when you say kies cannot detect the device, does that mean no phone shown on kies or, it says that the firmware upgrade not supported by kies

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.

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.
