Hello there,
Is there any one who have the same problem with me, i can't update my phone G800F with odin the latest firmware from sammobile. All the time it stack on failed and then the phone wont to boot. i can only update the G800FXXU1ANFF firmware so my phone works again.
Is there any solution?
PS: Well finally i found the way how to install. I can install only BTU version of Firmware (United Kingdom)
Hi, from what I've read around about the S5, there are some issues with different hidden partition sizes on different region firmwares which sometimes cause difficulty in installing firmwares not from the phone's original region. I assume it is the same with the S5 mini. While there are workarounds, it's preferred to simply install a firmware from the phone's original source country.

I've kind of messed up my phone ... Used Odin to reinstall firmware and that's working now. But it doesn't have the right languages?
Is there some list of which firmware is for which device/region? Or does anyone know the Firmware for the i9000 8Gb, Dutch-Belgium (not the Proximus branded)version?
Let me get this straight- Kies can only update Galaxy Tab Firmware if it matches the region of the previous firmware with the region where you are at present?
-I mean if I bought my GT in Hongkong and bring it to Dubai I have to go to hongkong to use Kies to update?
i believe it checks your tab's current configuration of the firmware via PDA PHONE CSC versions. if it matches a configuration found on the server it checks this if its the latest firmware for that said configuration if not you will be prompted with an update notice. if your configuration cannot be found on the server you would get a notice "tab version cannot be upgraded" or something along those lines. i think this is regardless of geographical location.
Does it mean that there is a record in Samsung server of the fw that is associated with my GT when it left the factory?
i don't think so. it just checks for the proper firmware configuration.
If so then how come Kies states that the stock Italian GB cannot be updated? It should instead state that it is the latest......
In another post you stated that the DX firmware you installed was recognized by Kies as the latest firmware.I am assuming you are in the Philippines. If I flash this fw on my tab will it still be recognized by Kies as latest even if I am in the Middle East?
stumped me there.
way back when i tried taiwan rom P1000ZTKC1, kies was able to detect it as official though...

But AFAIK, Taiwan is in the far east so in the same region.
Ahh well, weekend for us here, I might try out to flash the DX firmware later. Thanks for patiently answering.
I do not like to flash/update to the Arabic fw though-I don't read arabic and also not a Muslim so I don't need the Quran , Qibla direction and the prayer times.
BTW, what is the difference between the DX and the Italian GB?
mostly just the localizations/languages available out of the box.
I tried the dx fw and was able to boot successfuly.noticed the extra icon on the home screen-I think it was readrs hub cant recall now. But when I issued *#1234# i only got.the phone part.pda and csc were blank. Of course kies will not see the fw if blanks so I reflashed with the same result-BLANK PDA ,CSC.
At this point I made a decision to give my tab abreak and reflashed to the latest Arabic fw JM5. The process was succesful and Kies saw the fw as the latest. This reinforced my suspicion either the tab is registered with samsung to have arabic fw when it left factory OR that Kies will only update if the tab is within the region.
No rom flashing for me for now. Thanks for replies.

try flashing to xxpq1 first then to dxjpc...
i was having that error with *#1234# when i manually updated through odin
Yes I thought of the csc file you gave me. There is another issue, when I rooted using CF ROOT my dx fw and rebooted the sound which plays about same time as the samsung logo plays about few seconds AFTER the samsung logo disappears. So there was an issue I cant see. This happened also the second time I flashed.
I will wait for the official JM5 update thru Kies and rest my tab for the moment from the stress of flashing.

To put this at rest. It happens via CSC. Sammy doesnt care where you are located. CSC is Country Specific Code. Kies checks phone pda and csc to check the device has an official untouched firmwarr. Then checks the server against the CSC for instance if its ITV italy. It will find the GB update and roll it out.
Then how come when I flashed italian gb fw with itv or xeu csc kies says that it cannot be upgraded? Maybe I the stock fw from xda is not official?
Then the froyo I got from samfirmware happens to be official?
Samfirmware also does not guarantee kies will recognize the fw they provide.

Simple. Sammy pulled out the italian firmware I know what I am talking about. My tab updated numerous times from jj4 to jk5 to jmg with DBT CSC since i got the tab from germany.
Ah ok. Thanks for the explaination. Now only the Asian dx gb fw is official, according to noxxious info.

Available in Singapore according to this:

That is just next to malaysia.
I can now conclude that region where I am in now does not affect Kies. I have since updated my tab to the latest Asian GB even if I am in the Middle East!
Hello,
I am new to mess around with mobile phones and Android and (therefore) also managed to bring my girlfriend's GT-I8190 phone to a non-working state. Although there are lots of information in this forum I am more confused than sure what to do. I hope to get here some help / information / explanation.
Past
The phone was bought in Germany and had probably a German firmware. But I do not know, since no connections to Kies or whatsoever and no backups where done earlier. After a error of Android (e:\ failed to mount or something similar) which blocked the phone on the startup logo of the non-modyfied S3 mini, my guess for a quick solution was to flash the firmware with Odin to a new(er) German version. I downloaded (from a German forum) and flashed successfully several versions (supposedly OXA). But with all version the network connection hasn't practically worked. Only very weak and only at a few locations. Once I used in desperation also a so called stock-recovery from somewhere.
Present
I visited a shop where the uber-friendly Samsung service overwrote the firmware first with the general and later with the LaFleur version (PDA: XXAMG4, CSC: QXXA MH1). Kies tells me the CSC is somehow a VE1 version (what country is that code for - moon?). But the problem hasn't changed.
I still have the original IMEI, but I'm missing the baseband and, what worries me more: no product code. I managed to read it out only with "CheckFus" which says only: Not Active1
Future ?
Since I probably haven't used the right firmware at least once, I am hesitating to do more. My ideas are as following: modem, firmware, baseband.
What is the best way to proceed? Is there still a easy solution? I don't mind to change to another version - no stock firmware is required. Am I close to have a 4" tablet?
Any answer is appreciated - thanks!

I8190XXAMG4 / QXXAMH1 is a German La Fleur firmware. I have no idea why your CSC seems to be messed up. It should probably be DBT.
What does it say if you dial *#1234# in dialer?
Thanks for the infos so far.
I did not intend to link to the LaFleur version in the first post.
Do I need the root recovery for the baseband update?
With the 1234 code I get:
AP: I8190 XXAMG4
CP: XXXX
CSC: I8190 QXXAMH1
I think this is the same as mentioned before. I checked the origin of the files I used before on this mobile and it is possible that I used this a recovery file which may be for a 8190N (I cannot post the outside link yet). I did not read careful enough the thread linking to this file.
Can this be the origin for the messed CSC version and the missing product code?
Looks like you're without baseband.
Take a look at this thread and flash a modem for i8190.

Hello again,
firstly: Problem is solved - phone works properly. Thanks for the replies and to tys0n for the work with the files and the support - acutally doing the job of Samsung and google.
For the sake of completeness, I will tell what I did, if any unexperienced user (as I still am) will ever come across this thread:
I tried first just the standard firmware AMG4 from Sammobile (which is linked above) and afterwards the baseband files - but both did not help as expected.
I installed CWM and used the file from here and miraculously it was working (The phone is used only in 2G). Later I wiped the data and flashed again with the AMG4 firmware to have a clean version now.
AP, CP, CSC say all XXAMG4 now, Kies recognizes it as DBT (as supposed to). But the product code, which came back and was read out with CheckFus, says I8490 RWA XSE. This should be Indonesia, correct? Is there still an inconsistency somewhere?
Thanks again for the help
Robert
i have an existing thread here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/t710-help-t3839403
But this problem, I found the latest firmware i could find, and used Odin to flash it, with the firmware in the AP" box.
T710XXU2DRB1_T710XSA2DRB1_HOME.tar.md5 (Yes, Australian Firmware, for Australia).
But the problem now, is after flashing, (Odin passed), the tablet tries to boot, gets to the white Samsung flashing text and just sits there.
[edit] It seems I need the PIT file for the tablet, does anyone have the PIT file for an Australian (XSA) T710 ?.
I did notice one posted on these forums for EUR_OPEN, Can I use that one or does it need to be for my area ?
Are the T713 pit files compatible ?
Hey guys, so the issue I have is this. I got a grey imported N960F/DS model and the first thing I did is flash the stock Australian firmware onto it. However Ive noticed that it still has the stock Singapore apps on it upon restart even though the flash of the aussie rom was successful. I also noticed that the baseband version did not change to the one stated on the aussie firmware, but the build number did. It did update the security patch also
Ive now tried it with multiple N960F roms and the same thing has happened with each, including the carrier specific Optus ROM so I could use VOLTE and it always appears to be the Singapore ROM, as no Optus software appears on the phone after the flash and VoLTE wont work. I tried using the patched ODIN 3.13B and it also did the same thing.
Is there something Im missing here? A setting Im not checking or something?
Are you using csc or home_csc in Odin? One wipes, the other doesn't.
I've tried both options, the same thing happens with either
Were you ever able to resolve this?
