Hello
Here's the story
I have a note 5 n920c my original csc code was mid (iraq)
I installed the ( MinotaurusRom V10 ) rom
I didnt have issues with it but i wanted to go back to stock
So i did that but the issue is i now have the (xsg) country code (united Arab Emirates)
And i tried all kind of roms
Is there a way to get back my original csc code .
""( Smart switch doesn't work for my phone .. it says . N920c doesnt support initialization)""
Thanks .:crying:
You can factory restore using Kies, instead of Smart Switch.
Do an Emergency Firmware restore. That will make everything as factory.

You'll have to edit the zip to fit your country's CSC code manually, but this is probably the best method to change CSC without wiping your internal storage. It's what I do whenever I flash a custom ROM that changes my CSC.
Do note that you have to flash the zip DIRECTLY after a clean flash of the custom ROM or else the CSC will not change. Or you could flash the zip and then do a factory reset in twrp (or is it the other way around? I can remember. Just experiment around it.)
Good luck
Edit: or if you do want to wipe your internal storage along, you could download the PhoneInfo app from play store and change your CSC from there.
Edit 2: from my personal experience, for some reason the default CSC in the N9208 Malaysia XME stock ROM is the Philippines CSC. So what I did was I went inside XME folder which is inside the CSC folder which is inside the zip file, and copied all the files there and replaced the files in /CSC (basically outside of the XME folder). If the same thing happens to you this may help as well. Also check the .xml file and make sure that it shows the right CSC for you.
Edit 3: also this belongs in the Q&A forum, mods please move this.

hello eushaun99
so when I open the XME firmware (zip file) I only see one file which when unzipped/extracted turns out to be one file... I dont see any folders.
Would you kindly elaborate on the method. I need to try changing CSC as I no longer have 4G/LTE on my phone.. just H/H+
ps with latest ota update/security patch, my note 5 9208 ain't letting me downgrade to any previous firmware via odin.
Kindly help me out
Thanks

The one file as in the .tar.md5 file? If so rename it to .tar, then you can extract the files inside. After that follow the link I gave to extract the cache.img which contains the CSC folder.

Now how would i go back to original zip file.
all img & bin files need to be converted back to .tar.md5 file... is that possible with winrar?

Uhh, you'll have to do some research on that as I don't have any experience in tarballing stock ROMs. I've seen some guides somewhere to tarball stock ROM.

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

Hello there guys. I have the following query. I have DDJP6 Froyo with DamianTGO kernel which includes ClockwordModRecovery inbuilt. Now i want to try XWJS3 Doc's Rom which i downloaded from Romkitchen.org . The issue is that the Doc's Rom downloaded with custom CSC and Modem(both India Specific) has an older CSC of DDJG4, which the stock Froyo CSC for India is DDJP5. Now if flashing Doc's Rom will bring the CSC back to JG4(which i think it will,, since it's the WIPE version), how do i update JUST the CSC back to JP5?? I do have the JP5 CSC file as a .tar file. Can i update just that using ODIN without re-partition and leaving Phone and Modem blank?? Or update it through CWM? But how do i make a tar file CWM zip compatible??
If the query, or anything similar has already been posted and answered, kindly give me the link for the same. Thanking you all in advance
Just flash the csc bit through ODIN and leave everything else empty.
Thank You Very Much

Hi!
I'm using CM 7.1.
Are the modems you can download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783
the same of the corrisponding stock roms (JVU modem --> JVU rom) ?
I'm too noob to post there.... (and considering my question probably this is the right thing!)
Can you use stock modems in CM 7?
In particular I'd like to flash the modem of my italian carrier H3G (Tre) branded stock rom. Can i do that? The rom has code NEJVE.
Would it be better to flash my carrier modem? Since It was modified according to my carrier network, it should work better than the "stock" CM 7 modem.
Am I right?
Thank you!
may be you can : u have to install this zip file in CWM v5+ recovery, but always keep system backup.
download your carrier modem. then extract the modem.bin file from there. then put the modem.bin file into the root of the zipped folder using winrar, and remember do not unzip the file. hope u know how to put the file with winrar. i m also uploading 2 picture for your help.

wow nice i didn't know how to create a radio package for the recovery!
Can i also flash it with odin or is it mandatory to do it from the recovery?
are CM 7 modem the same as stock rom modem?
jvk cm 7 is the same as stock jvk modem and the same for the other versions?
Or are cm 7 modem modified some how?
same as stock, just in a different zip.ยจ
I have some modems here perka.zapto.org
I managed to make an update modem package and flash it, with the modem NEJV5 of H3g (italy).
Now let see if it works better!
Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone would happen to know how to restore a .tar file that I downloaded from sammobile.com/firmware/ . I got it in the hopes it would have a seperate PDA, CSC etc. files so I could restore using Odin put I have to admit I was stumped when I just got one .tar file. The file in question is Optus' 2.3.3 firmware and is called 'jvn_jv5_jv1.tar' if it's any help. The files inside the tar are:
-zImage
-param.lfs
-cache.rfs
-factoryfs.rfs
-boot.bin
-modem.bin
-Sbl.bin
Thanks.
Not 100% certain on this so perhaps wait for a confirmation but I think that if you only have one tar file you put it in the PDA and flash it.

Can totally confirm this!!
But if you want further confirmation there are instructions on sammobile.com
It's an easier way to flash as its only one file and less people can get the files mixed up. (It still has the kernal and modem inside it)
Edit: Just check and it seems to be missing dbdata.rfs Did you miss that out. If its not there then do another download and see if it is. If not then im sure it'll be fine..
I have a Canadian N4(910W8)and I want to change the baseband so I can try different Roms. How do I go about this? I'm guessing through Odin right? Where can I find a stock NJ7 ROM to do this? Thanks guys!

Firstly, if you change baseband your phone will not work with Canadian or
USA roms.
None of the twrp flashable zip file roms contains the baseband or bootloaders.
You need to keep the Canadian baseband which you already have.
What you will need to do is to save your kernel file so you can use it with the
USA zip file roms.
The kernel is located in the /System/ folder and the filename is "boot.img".
Copy that file to your internal sdcard before you do anything else.
Then after you download a usa zip file rom open it up with winrar/winzip
or other archiver and remove the boot.img in the zip file and replace it with
the boot.img you have saved in your internal sdcard before flashing.
Once you do that you can safely flash the usa zip file rom of your choice.
I never advise anyone to use a different carriers rom, there are many con's
against doing so and not many pro's. But go ahead and give it a try.
Good luck!
Thanks for the helpful info! On my note3, I always flashed tmob roms with no issues, but the note 4 is new so I didn't know exactly what would work or not. Might give this a go later on! Thanks again!
I find sys>kernel>boot_adsp> the file called "boot" which is only 4kb in size. Is that what I'm looking for? Does not have "IMG" behind the "boot"
Hi.... I was wondering the same about the NJ7.... I've flashed 2 TMobile roms so far... Darthstocker & Hyperdrive.... As long as you flash the Starkissed Kernel it boots up fine... Without it you just Bootloop....
