[Q] No Updates From Vodafone (Germany)

Hello everybody,
Since i cant get no updates (2.3.6) soon from my provider (Vodafone Germany), is possible to use one of the official roms or stock roms, and update my Note manually ?
If so, which Rom... ?
can i update to Open Europe ?
I'm on
2.3.5
Version n7000xxkj4
csc n7000vd2kj1
Thanks

of course you can.
check this thread
or do the following:
download XLA4 latest firmware europe and extract to a folder
download odin 1.85
Password : samfirmware.com
download and install kies for samsung
turn off your note, then press and hold volume down key+menu+power
a menu appears, choose continue (volume up i think)
open odin, plug in your note via usb to computer. you should see a yellow line COM:# connected
If your downloaded ROM contains single file
go to odin, browse the folder you extracted the files to and
Choose PDA button in Odin and press start
if more items then
CODE in PDA, MODEM in PHONE, Multi CSC in CSC and press start
good luck

Thank u... i will try it!

and double check "Re-partition" , it should be un-ticked. and do not select any pit files while flashing.

Just one more question... if i want my phone rooted, should i first root it? I mean before i apply the upgrade.
Thanks

Yes. you have to root it first. because latest firmwares are not directly rootable. just go through this link you can find which firmwares are rootable directly.

Hum!!!
Question.... how do i know if im still rooted?

And Kies is telling me that :

If you updated through odin or kies then you lost root. If you upgraded through mobile odin pro then you should still be rooted.

Kies is telling you that because there is a CSC code mismatch between the ROM you are running and what is on your device. You can change the CSC code by typing the following in the dialer: *#272*IMEI# where IMEI is your phone's IMEI number. I suggest choosing DBT since that is the unlocked Germany CSC and seems to get the most frequent updates. I changed my XEN (Netherlands) Note to a DBT one last week and it worked fine.
Changing the CSC will factory reset your Note, so back up your data first.

Can't access to /system/csc/ITV/system

Hi guys!
I have a problem, sigh...
I had a Note with the stock firmware KKA/KK5 and I had flashed it with ODIN the LB1 DBT stock rom.
Now I have done e deep clean and I have reflashed the KKA/KK5 stock rom without problems or errors.
Now the system had warning me about a update... to LB1. So I have loaded the update.
Seems all okay... but now if I go in the recovery mode, I have this error:
multi csc
can't access to /system/csc/ITV/system
Anyone can help me? I would like to delete this error.
thanks!
stefano

I fixed mine with a full wipe, then boot into the system, and skip the google account setup, and then reboot into recovery, and the csc was re applied.
Alternately, which will result is a full wipe anyway, is to chnage your CSC manually. You can use CSC selector from the market, or use the short codes.

Thank you for your reply!
I have done any attempt, but nothing.
If I try to change the csc, the display show me only one CSC... that is ITV... and It should be right.
But if I go in revovery mode, I receive always the same error... cant access to.. ecc. ecc...
If I put the KKA Italy stock firmware the error doesnt appear.
If I do the OTA update... I have the error.
Please, help, I dont understand why!
bye!

FOUND THE ANSWER!!!after surfing the WHOLE net i found the way...and i'm sure than NOBODY has ever found the answer so this should be useful for all users!!
simply downgrade to an old directly rootable gingerbread version (in my case the kka kk5 ITV on a no brand italian galaxy note)...after having the device rooted download root explorer and get to this folder.....system/csc/ ..there you'll find a looot of csc folders (HUN, ITV, etc)...each one comes from a different nation, simply copy and paste to a pc folder or external sd folder always with root explorer...then when you'll have updated to the latest firmware simply paste the csc folders that you need ( or all of them, so you can manually change csc without the hateful "must be three chars" writings) in to system/csc/ folder...i think that this problem will solve a lot of request on the net...i stayed awaked all night to do downgrades, upgrades etc...so hope this will be helpful to all xda users!
cheers \m/

[Q] Sales Code doesn't work

Hello everyone,
Today, I installed a Hong Kong rom into my Note LTE, SGH-I717M changed to GT-N7005. When I plug it into my computer and check if there is a new Jellybean update for it, it said "Kies doesn't support my phone verison / sales code. I did the *#272* IMEI# and I get nothing pop up!! :crying: If you know how to fix this, please tell me I really want to fix my phone.

reflash the csc file, or the rom in csc slot of pc odin, at own risk

Use csc changer from the play store and use the root option. This will wipe the data. So make sure you have a backup.

could be the rom you flashed, or the modem in the rom, that on own risk you reflash modem with root and mobile odin, however I recommend you check your apn settings in settings, mobile network if you have the settings from your provider.

Failed to update firmware

My phone keeps failing to update. I keep getting "Failed to update firmware due to network or server problem.Try software update via settings > Software Update > Update or try using PC Kies later". I read all the solutions and ended up just resetting my phone to factory settings and I am still getting the same message. I am don't know what to do at this point. Any ideas?

I do not really believe this. Install a JB stock release for your region with PC Odin. Or install PhilZ kernel and then try one of the available Custom Roms.
If I believe you: so you read all solutions before and I d not need to give you the links to the sticky tutorials related to this.
Good luck.

OK, I am sorry, I guess I didn't see all the solutions yet. Yes, I need links. I don't know how to install JB stock release. I don't know what PC Odin means. I basically read that I must have rooted my device and now I can't install updates and that if I wipe the device it will be able to install firmware update. I am puzzled why factory reset doesn't fix the problem but please point me to the links where I can learn how to install JB stock release and whatever PC Odin thing I need. Thank you

Sorry, but no links. You are a member since Nov 2011. You should know about the simple way of searching for sticky threads in a forum already. If you are too lazy to do this, then you should stop thinking about manual updates and custom roms, kernels etc.
But you could continue asking for spoon-feeding. There might be other members here that aren't tired of this way of being a part of XDA and they will post the links for you.

I am sorry I don't understand what a custom rom is and I don't want any. I don't want to do any manual updates. I just want update my phone as my phone keeps.telling me there is a firmware update. I searched for the error message and came back empty handed. The suggestions I found said to reset the phone but it didn't help me. You talked.about some things that I have never heard of so I asked for clarification. Is it wrong to ask? Yes I have been a member zince 2011 when I got my phone. I asked some questions back then and nothing since. It does not mean I am an expert in find out about some roms. I.just wanto have the the latest update.released by Samsung on my Samsung phone.

To putnit in a simple way. Why not just bring your phone to a customer service center and let them update for you?
Since you are not sure what those terms means and your phone seems to be in stock version. Samsung will update for you.

Brand new phone. I have not done anything to it. Was using it as is. Always got updates with no problem until a few days ago. I just want to get an official update that Samsung released.

first, try Kies.
if that fails try again.
Then we check efs
try dial *#06# and check if imei is the one you expect, it should not be 00049.
Then dial *#272*yourimeihere# and check if csc is selected. That should be the one of your phone. Maybe something went wrong with previous updates there. If you select the original your phone came with then a factory reset wil occur. be carefull, phones have bricked that way.
Now another ingredient for succesful updating is pcode, this can be found via a another code. forgot which one. Getting that back is to much work, unless you have efs backup of working condition. Which nobody has usually.
I would recommend going back via dr ketans pc odin way to latest rom for the csc found in previoius steps and in a clean way. Or earliest and update back up. Before you do that backup efs Search how.

I already tried Kies and before I reset the phone to factory settings it gave me an error message in Korean. Then I reset the phpne and now Kies says that I am on the latest firmware, but I am not.
IMEI is not 00049
The right CSC is selected.
The previous updates ran just fine.

Iam having the same exact problem! "Failed to update firmeware due to network or server error. Please try again later or try using kies" My phone is not rooted. What could be the problem? Earlier updates were just fine! Please help, I want to update it to jellybean 4.3 !

Not Receiving OTA UPDATES!!!!

Hi all,
Please help me out!
I have a note 8 with (N950U) - XAA/XAA/SPR - and I have not received a single OTA update!
I used the firmware science method to install a few updates and flashed (using Odin) when Oreo was released.
But now I want to solve this issue and start receiving OTA updates. I do not mind using Odin again to get this sorted - but preferable not lose my data.
Thank you

You have a branded device but not linked with any carrier in US. Change your firmware to an unbranded one and from CRL2 you will receive the last oreo stable CSA1 or you can download the firmware directly from an app like Updato from Google Play and wait that a beta stable on pie will be released.

Odin Tool normal just in case you need it:

I used the patched version:

Last Oreo Odin rom available:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161
Staying in this version you have to theoretically receive updates from OTA

Question, the guide says "Note - If you are flashing Unlocked Firmware from Carrier Firmware you must use Prince Comsy Odin otherwise, use regular Odin."
So, in my case i am going from a 950U firmware to 950U1, should i use odin or prince comsy odin? and is there a way to keep my data? or will it be reset for sure?

Use the modded Odin mentioned.
You can keep your data but in this case you will go to switch to a different firmware so is better that you do a backup with SmartSwitch and them go to recovery, do a format/factory reset , then in Odin flash the firmware, reboot and restore your data

I'm not sure what exactly is Comsy, I read about it but I guess this was an older version, I used the patched version linked in one of my previous posts and works like a charm. I switch from N950U to N950U1 and I had any trouble doing this procedure. About keep your data if you use Home_CSC you will preserve it but you need to delete your old CSC that is where go the preferences of a carrier, so you have to use CSC_oyn file instead

If you are not using a Sprint sim and your device is not a locked carrier (under contract) this message can't appear.
If you follow all the steps, factory resetting first in recovery, then flashing the CRL2 firmware including CSC_oyn then the bloat from the carrier has to be deleted.
It's probably too that you backed up settings with Smart Switch and then restored it, if this is the case try by factory resetting again and restore your backup but not your settings, also check any app related with sim provider that you backed up avoiding restore it.

Need help please

Hi, like Ahmed I also have a SM-N950U XAA/XAA/SPR. My note 8 is not receiving OTA update and it seems like it never will (writing on 01-Apr-2019). Its probably because im using it in Pakistan. Im fairly new to the OTA and manual OS flashing thing. I dont understand any CRL2 or 3 whatever it is.. I would really appreciate if i could get a step by step guide about how to do it since im going to be making a transition from Nougat to Oreo (Or pie of possible). Please please i would really appreciate your help. as i dont want to brick my phone and i dont know what to do.
Thanks a bunch.

Well, the steps are in all the thread.
Let´s go for the obvious first; I guess actually you are not using a sim card from US so you are out of US now and then no need on any carrier´s bloat.
You need first of all switch to an unbranded firmware, it´s mean from N950U to N950U1.
If you are actually on nougat then flash this firmware that is the latest Oreo since you can upgrade after to Pie https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161 Use this modded Odin to flash it https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595813
Process to flash through Odin and switch correctly to unbranded firmware:
- First of all backup your important data using SmartSwitch (you can do it on a SDCard inside your device)
- Enable USB Debugging in developer options and OEM unlock if present.
- Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system.
From here to upgrade to Pie go to this site https://firmware.science and complete the following: Model number: SM-N950U1 (this will be from now your model number), in Current version put the firmware ended with CRL2 (the firmware that you flashed previously) and download the first Beta ended on CSAB; move the zip onto your device and go to recovery and flash it using Update from sdcard (this could be wipe again your data).
If you want to update to the second Beta repeat the previous process; complete as Current version: firmware ended on CSAB and choose and download firmware ended on CSBB (less sized).
And finally to go to the last Beta available do the same, Current version; firmware ended on CSBB and download firmware ended on ZSC2 and flash it again using recovery updater.
It could be more Betas but not available yet on Firmware.science.
From beta firmware it´s unlikely that you receive OTA but when an Official Pie be release theoretically you have to receive them normally or if you want to receive them just now then you have to stay on Oreo CRL2 you´ll receive an Oreo OTA update CSA1 (more or less 40MB) and wait from there that an official Pie will be release.

First of all thanks a lot for getting back to me so quick i really appreciate it. Yes youre right about not using the US sim card. If you could just bare with my rookie questions a bit more.
Do i download the "firmware" and modded odin into my note 08 by following your shared links or do i have to download them into PC. If phone, then shud it be on SD card or internal storage?
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system."""
I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.
Judging by your pie statements. Thats very techincal to do. So i believe its better off going for Oreo for now and wait for the Pie update automatically.
Thanks in advance

The first firmware linked at Android File Host is Oreo, this firmware you have to flash it using Odin so download it with your pc and put it in any place of your preference onto your pc DON´T move it to your device.
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.

This is indicated to make a clean flash, to delete/reset some APN preferences and some traces that came preinstalled with this device linked to a carrier.

Unzip the firmware that you downloaded till get some files in .tar format, within these files you´ll find two CSC files, choose the CSC_OYN file and not the CSC_HOME on the CSC box and all the other files load them on every corresponding box: BL, AP, CP that you´ll find in Odin.
