hi every one
i just downloaded il orange rom 2.3.3 from sammobile i tried million times to flash it with odin , odin every time says pass but the i9000 just still booting .
i tried to remove the battery , to use pit file with the rom , to flash with defferent odin versions but it still the same , odin says pass but the phone booting all the time .
the rom is a tar file .
( every else rom "not tar file" working fine , but i need to flash the original rom )
any body can help me please ?
Download this guide. It is a direct link from the sammobile site.
How long are you waiting for the phone to start up. If you aren't waiting up to 30mins it is not long enough.
You should receive all the files required within the .zip file you downloaded from sammobile.com. If it was a single .tar file put it in PDA, if it is .pit file as well use that as well.
Does that help?
thank you , but i waited more than 30 min until the phone had become very hot then i feared to broke it .
it's a single tar file , should i use pit file with it ?
( in the guide samsung explains how to flash with non single file rom )
If the pit file came with the package then yes use it!
Can you give me a link to the rom you downloaded, and a link to the page you saw the list of firmwares for you.
What rom were you using before?
Also copy and paste what is says when you finish flashing, a screenshot would probably be better.
And lastly have you tried another computer?

3. i tried another original roms like cellcom rom its the same , but another roms like 2.3.6 and ics working just fine only the roms from sammobile do this to me .
4. i don't know how to take screen shoot of the mobile.

Make sure re-partition was ticked when you use the pit file.
Is there any reason you need a stock rom??
Ok it could be a bug with that FW somehow, try the links here
If the link is not there or after you try and flash the above rom and you still want to install the FW from sammobile then try after using the most similar firmwares above.
Finally if all that still doesn't work then download and install this.
Hopefully after installing that you can install the original. Or just stay with one of the other original roms above. I don't think having a carrier version of the rom is that important, but you know better than me because I assume it is important in your country.
If you do decide to stick with any of the firmware above then make sure you type in *#262*your imei# and select your correct csc code (3 letter code). Changing the selected code will reboot and factory reset your phone!

first of all thanks to you for helping me
second : i need afirmware with arabic , hebrew & english interface build in - only the il original one have this .
third : there is 3 providers in israel cellcom pelephone & orange , orange have a special band not like the others & this is the provider i use .
4. all the non original roms and ics's have too much problems , like radio dosn't work , low signal , market unfotunetly stoped , Restarts suddenly.
If you have a special band are you sure you have the i9000?? Is it another version of i9000 like i9000T or something. Check your box or the back of your phone after taking out the battery.
Again have you checked the firmware here it is the original firmware. It has JV9 firmware and therefore probably has your languages.. and once the correct csc is in and your APN is correct all should be fine.
This is all assuming that your phone is actually gt-i9000 not another variant.
Also the links i provide are generally quite stable and so have little or no bugs. For example this is known to be quite stable. However i am not sure about the languages..
Just found this link click by searching for the firmware name in google
And then if that doesn't work then you are not meant to have that update. Use the link for the firmware called I9000JHJV8 on sammobile, it is the earlier firmware however should fit your requirements. After setting the CSC and apn attach it to your computer with Kies and it will update to the latest.

Above link is a thread on xda, that has stock firmware... find one you want the same one if you can...
http://samsung-updates.com/gt-i9000-samsung-galaxy-s/
Is a link to list that has same firmware you are trying to use from sammobile.
The reason i am giving you these links is because the files that you downloaded from sammobile.com may be corrupted. These are alternative links of the SAME firmware but different files.
Finally if these do not work and you have the same outcome that the phone does not boot. Then download and install the firmware called I9000JHJV8 on sammobile.com. It is the earlier firmware however should fit your requirements. After setting the CSC and APN connect your phone to your PC. Use Samsung Kies to update your phone.

i thing you are not understanding me , the proccess of flashing the phone completes just fine and the phone start booting but it still booting ( the booting animation working fine ) it get not into the system .
i think the problem is the single tar file because all the roms with three files and icses working fine .
if there is a way to un.tar the file and made from it 3 md5 files to flash with odin maybe it will works.

Hi everyone,
I've purchased a Korean Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950N) and rooted it with TWRP and SuperSu. Now I want to change CSC to Vietnam.
I already download 2 stock firmwares (Korean and Vietnamese).
Can you please guide me for next steps with Odin?
just go grab the S8 CSC changer and use that. All we have to do is add 1 line in one of it's scripts so that it will run on a device with 'greatlte' in the name.

It seems that this CSC Selection file did not work for me even I already updated the script file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script with this code:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "greatlte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "greatlte" || getprop("ro.product.name") == "greatlte" ||
When I flashed zip file I got error no digest file found
I have this problem could not find any specific answer so far. I'm from UK with an international Note 8 (N950F) unlocked and want to use it with THREE, especially from the wi-fi calling. So, downloaded THREE firmware and after extraction, I got CSC and HOME_CSC among others. First, through ODIN installed HOME_CSC after reboot could not notice any difference at all, the mobile seems the same so decided to install the CSC which obviously wipe the Note. The same, nothing different on the phone. Lastly, I installed everything (AP, BL, CP, CSC) only that way I got Wi-FI calling but also many apps from THREE ( Deezer, Three, Three likes, Ebay, Amazon Underground, Prime video, Amazon MDIP, Operator Settings) and a horrible start-up boot logo and so on. Despite I got Wi-Fi calling I got more stuff and I am not happy at all. Thinking seriously to go back to the international version I had. Does anyone know why after changing the CSC was not any difference in my Note?
Find attached two pictures, first one shows the wi-fi calling option under Contacts-Settings using THREE firmware, and the other one is from the UK international firmware where wi-fi calling option is not there.
Khoanb1, Kett_Traveler modified the S8 CSC Changer zip to work for the Note 8 but only added the USA CSC to it because that's what he needed. I've since took his zip and added the Canadian Multi-CSC (XAC) for myself and the European Multi-CSC (DBT) for you. The European Multi-CSC (DBT) contains the Vietnam CSC (XXV). Download the zip from MEGA here and install it with TWRP. When it asks you which CSC to install, choose DBT, then choose XXV in the next screen to select your Vietnam CSC. Make sure to select XXV and not keep it at the default of DBT at the 2nd menu.
I've successfully used this zip to change my CSC to the Canadian one. Note that after the CSC change, your phone will factory reset itself and wipe all your data (if I remember correctly). So make sure to backup externally first if needed. After a restart, your phone will boot up with the proper boot animation for your CSC and you'll have all your carrier-specific features. For me, changing my CSC allowed me to connect to LTE networks which was not possible before (I was limited to 4G speeds instead). Also, the Korean apps that came with the phone are preloaded onto our system partition, so you have to delete them from /system/apps or through Titanium Backup. You can also freeze them if you prefer.
Note: I haven't tested the install with the XXV CSC so test it and tell me if it works.

Hi peacey8,
Thank you very much for your effort and your thorough guidance. Your zipped file worked very well for my device and now I could have XXV CSC code in my Galaxy Note 8.
I can see some big changes:
1. boot logo is the same with Note 8 devices distributed in Vietnam
2. some apps were installed by default like these devices
3. Samsung Pay can recognise Vietnamese network providers (but I could not still use it because my device was rooted). If you have any idea about it, please let me know.
Great! I'm glad it worked. Unfortunately, Samsung Pay will not work because Knox was tripped. Android Pay still works though if you use Magisk root with Magisk Hide.
Right now there is no solution to Samsung Pay with root. In the future there could be some solution. I'm sure some creative person will come up with something eventually.

Hi peacey8,
Thank you for your explaination. I have another question:
What will happen if I flash all tar files in the Vietnamese stock firmware to my Korean Note 8?
Will I get the CSC code like devices distributed in Vietnam? And will Odin allow me to do this?

Honestly I'm not sure if it's impossible. I'll let someone more knowledgeable than me answer that question. However the Korean Note 8 and the Vietnamese Note 8 are both running on the Exynos SoC, so it might be possible to switch firmwares with a lot of hard work and many problems. For one, the devices have different storage capacities and so will have different PIT files (the file that determines which tar image file goes where and how big it should be). Another issue is the bootloader (the most basic, low-level software of the phone that talks to the hardware to start your phone up) is different for the Korean and European models, so you can't flash the Vietnamese BL file on the Korean model. It would brick the phone if you did.
So in short, no you can't flash a different firmware. But, why do you need to? What's wrong with the current solution of switching CSCs that you just did? Is there still a feature you are missing?

i've used a similar file for the S8+ and my phone rebooted with a new CSC and the message "Android is updgrading"... but it did not wipe my phone.

It's only a question because I'm so confused if I can totally convert my Korean device to Vietnamese one.
You are right, so dangerous to replace bootloader even I already created backup for all partitions.

Hi Khoanb1,
Luckily i found your thread up here, i'm a clueless Vietnamese when it come to rooting phone and other related things. I also bought an KR Galaxy Note 8 lately and have been wondered since then. Is there any other feature that missing on an KR note 8 to a distributed VN note 8?
Would you be so kind to instruct me install them just like you did? im a total noob here.
If you dont mind i can ask for your social media account so we can discuss further.

Hi lluvias91,
I already sent you a private message including my fb account, let's start our converstion about this topic
do you know guys if a packed Note 8 Eng Boot for Exynos variant (SM-N950F) is available ?
tengo el inconveniente con el n950F Exynos sin interruptor de desbloqueo OEM Ayuda
I have the N950F Exynos phone and want to flash the US Mobile CSC to get Wi-Fi calling. I don't have root and am in jail with the no oem unlock issue. I was wondering if I could just flash the CSC from the complete N950U firmware using ODIN. Or can you not mix the F firmware files with the U versions?
I saw the zip file to do the same but it requires root and TWRP to flash.
Not sure I like this phone being locked down. Very frustrating not being able to just root and install a working ROM without having to wait 7 days!
Thanks
In download mode. My carrier id is blank. How do i add the id back?
Hi guys
I buy mine in Morocco N950F Dual Sim (Exact version : SM-N950FZDDMWD).
My phone are not rooted and i dont want to do it for the moment. dont want to increment the knox
I need the french CSC. If i downlaod a french stock firmware N950F and install it with Odin.
It will work without loosing my garante and continue to use samsung Pay ?
Sorry for my bad english
thanks in advance
Hi there,
Is it possible to change the CSC of my note9 SM-N960F from Australia (XSA) to Singapore (XSP)? I believe both are part of the multi CSC OXM firmware but there's little information on how to go about changing the CSC.
So far I've tried the following 2 methods but unfortunately, I'm still stuck on the XSA CSC.
Method 1:
- Power off the device
- remove the sim tray.
- Go to recovery , HOLD bixby button + Volume up together , and power up
- In recovery , chose factory reset .. This will give a warning and then reset everything
- Choose power off , in the recovery and insert sim tray .. you should do this before booting up as your CSC will be configured when you will start
- Power on the phone , wait and . then chose restart to system now when asked
- wait and after reboot. CSC remains unchanged
Method 2:
*#272*IMEI# to change CSC but I'm getting the "connection problem or invalid MMI code"
any input would be greatly appreciated!
hello
you can try this solution in post 67 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...n960n-n960u-n960u1-n960w-n9600-t3833721/page7

Hi, I have tried the solution in post #67 but my CSC is still XSA. Is it possible to just download the XSP OXM firmware and flash via odin without tripping knox?
at this time i'm unable to make a working N960 CSC file with only one CSC ( noboby is able to signe CSC file ) and as combination file don't work for this device the only solution is to find a working secret code
sorry and regards
I have N960U usa unloacked, on 8.1.
I also have Thai SIM CARD not in use.
There is any way i can upgrade to Pie 9.0 without loosing call recording?
If i get THL CSC on my N960U i think call tecording will work.
Sny way to do this?
METOD TO CHANGE CSC (tested on N960FD) Install this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/development/rom-galaxy-project-t3911947 choose csc. then you can come back to your rom, I came back because I like a lot of modifications but this rom is also nice. After this operation It should be good. it helped me. I had CSC BTU samsung and I could not change the method, I did not try with the combination rom because I did not want to play like that. I know that some roms have options to choose the csc at installation and I have used it.
I hope I helped

Thank you for intrest in my problem.
Tutorial on polish forum said to take a .pit file and check repartition box - I followed instructions.
I see my CSC in Settings/Telephone - informations (I'm translating from polish it may be diferent named in english, it's last card on the bottom of Settings)/Firmware informations - there I can see CSC
About 10 minutes ago I have resolved the issue.
I have inserted different sim card (from my work) and CSC has changed to XEH/XEH/XEO/XEH.
Then I switch SIM to second slot and CSC become XEH/XEO/XEO/XEH.
Then I did factory reset and now I have XEO/XEO/XEO/XEH
Bottom line instaling new firmware doesn't automaticaly change CSC. You need to insert SIM card to one slot, then to second slot and then do factory reset.
I hope this could help others.
Edit:
Not every SIM card will change CSC. If you have trouble try different SIM card preferably from different operator.
This post was published over 4 year ago, and now I encounter this issue too!
My phone is SM-N960N, and I did flash the corresponding firmware with .pit for multiple times with original system unchanged (CSC code: KTC). What's more, I just got this phone last night!
Does the computer OS itself cause this issue? I promise that Samsung USB driver is well installed.
Hello there,
I have bought phone that was from different distribution than my country, everything is fine except I don't get any updates. I'd like to change my CSC code from BTU to XEO but without wiping the phone and without tripping Knox. I have read that it is possible by flashing HOME_CSC file. I downloaded the latest samsung original firmware from Sammobile and got five files. I know i should flash HOME_CSC but I dont know if I should flash all the other ones. Can you help me with the process and share some tips? Thanks
