Hi,
I was just wondering something. I'm going to install Gingerbread through KIES by spoofing NEE.
I was wondering if its possible to flash my own regions csc file later in the future with ODIN, when the Gingerbread firmware gets released here?
Or do I have to reflash the firmware entirely to get my own region back?
Your best bet would be to download one of the 3 file ODIN packages and flash using that but with the JVK Multi CSC, that's what I used to get XEU product code. Not sure what to do about any other regions but I know the JVK CSC contains multiple product codes.
Never tried simply flashing a CSC file, I should imagine if you did and it worked it would force a factory wipe anyway
Odin? You can use an update.zip via CWM and install your regional CSC via SGS Toolbox (for exemple).
Ok cool, thanks for the info.
But remember that flashing a new csc will wipe your data, so backup your apps with titanium first.

Are you sure with 2.3.3?
Yesterday, I've changed my CSC (Criskelo Custom Rom) and after reboot, no data wipe... Strange, isn't?
hello xda dev , i have a dumb question.my friend has a SGS i9000 and i want to root it and install a custom rom.he has the stock rom eclair and i want to install xxjvu.I saw there is a pit file and when to install it's needed to tick repartition.my question is , when i'll install it (xxjvu) it will lose all(pictures,videos ,music,etc.)?
99% of the time all data is safe. However it is best to back up all data that you want to keep just in case the flash goes wrong.
Please note that this happens vary rarely but best pratice is to back up the data.
Flashing a new ROM with odin will wipe any downloaded apps and saved games etc.
i know that it will wipe data ,thanks for fast reply!
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 forgot to mention that I did flash the 4.0.3 Open Germany version before. When I did that it still did not detect an update. Would that be fixed with the 4.0.4 version?
search preconditions for updating. Dont remember where I posted them, but of can comply to those it shouldnt be an issue

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.

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
Hello everyone, i am newbie here and got a problem. 3 days ago i wanted to flash the phone's original stock rom(from sammobile) in order to getting phone slow and laggy. After all processes done(system, data, dalvik etc. wipe, over odin and without any recovery and root), i saw that mobile data not working and upon this i reseted the apn, downloaded operator's apn settings, installed again the stock rom and some other custom roms and etc. But nothing else matters. By the way, when i first flashed the stock rom i have seen that there was some new stock apps like "Kleek", "Opera mini", "S suggest" ... which ones i never saw before with this stock rom and now installed again stock rom and they are still there.
Hope you can help me.

Hi,
as I wanna change my CSC, I understand I need to flash the firmware with the target CSC. Some questions then:
- can I flash only the CSC file?
- do the internal memory gets totally wiped when flashing, or just the system folders? (meaning: do I lose my pictures?)
Thanks
I beleive FLASHING CSC wipes your data, but flashing HOME_CSC DOES NOT.

And they will both enable my target CSC to get installed? Also.. When you say data, you also mean pics?

I always personally like wiping the device whenever I flash another firmware on the device. The theory is that HOME CSC file shouldn't wipe your phone and it should preserve the state it was in before flashing. The only thing I don't know if flashing another firmware will change CSC. With other phones such as S8, I was able to, but with S10e that I had, it didn't really change anything. I think the firmware that phones come with are multi-csc. The pre-S10 phones possibly came with single-csc and after flashing, the phone would automatically take the only csc that firmware had. Long story short, I bought unlocked S10e, flashed with T-MO firmware, but still nothing changed except T-Mobile splash screen at phone's startup. I then flashed it back and returned the device.
