Question [SOLVED] Boot logo problem - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Hello I would like to know how to remove the carrier boot logo that is always showing up when i start up and shutdown my phone. I tried reflashing different stock roms multiple times but it still stays with the damn carrier logo. It is a UK phone (H3G branded) and it just wont go away. Any help?

Solved. I extracted the pit file from the csc of a stock rom and then i re partitioned using odin and the pit file.

Thanks that´s a very good think...
I know a few guys that would love to do that... perhaps you can make a tutorial of some sorts... kind "remove provider logo for dummies" :=)

Its not that hard you just have to re partition your phone (VERY DANGEROUS) using a pit file and then from there you need to have root and then use a tool called system app remover (DO NOT CONNECT PHONE TO INTERNET OTHERWISE IT WILL REDOWNLOAD THE CONFIG!) When you are in the root app remover look for Recommended apps and uninstall it reboot

EDIT: Made a tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-remove-carrier-boot-logo.4375593/

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!

[Q] Bricked My Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i

I Just Bricked My Samsung Galaxy Ace - I Switch it On and It Shows Samsung Logo Forever and Im Stuck There. I Can Still Access Recovery and Download Mode Though
If Im Not Wrong, I Bricked It By Deleting Certain System Files, Is There A way to Restore The System Files via Download Mode or Recovery Mode ?
* I Deleted Samsungbootloop.qmg, And The Next time I Booted, This Happened. Could it Be A Cause ? I've Read other Forums About this File, and It Seems Like it Doesnt Brick the Phone If Deleted
Btw, My Phone Model Is GT-S5830i
U only shot is to flash through odin dont worry nothings wrong yet ...your phone is not even close to being bricked try rom manager and report rom manager is the best brick tool out there
Flash Through Odin ? You Mean Flash My Stock Firmware?
Try Rom Manager ? But I Cant Even Use The App on My Mobile?
Im Actually Quite New To Android, Cant Really Grasp What You're Saying

Yes i mean u should flash your stock rom through odin ..

Thanks For The Help So Far,

Yes ...your system files will be restored but your data will get wiped off then again beggers cant be choosers ...
Download your stock rom at samfirmware.com ...odin youll find anywhere ...
Doesnt Matter, I Only Used My Phone For Abt 3 Wks Now... No Important Infomation Inside
Haha Cool! Got Odin v1.85 Working on My Computer, Just Wondering About The Firmwares... Does CSC and PDA Matter ?
So I've Connected My Phone To The Computer, While My Phone Is In Download Mode. My Computer Cant Seem to Install the Driver, Can I Still Use Odin ?
*Sorry I know I Ask Alot Of Qns, But I Just Wanna Be Extra Careful
No problem its good to be careful than be sorry
No u cant proceed until odin shows that "yellow box " .
About your pc not recognizng your phone you should have the samsung usb drivers ull find them at samfirmware.com
And also when u use odin u must "run as admin " or "run as vista executable( i hope u have seen some odin tutorial ) first keep odin open then connect your phone
I m sorry for the late replies...i know how excited/ sad u are ..please bear with me
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB
I dont know about csc and pda . Whenever i flashed it was always a " one package " file ...google it ...dont worry u cant brick your phone via odin unless you flash a rom not meant for your phone xD

Yea It Does Come Out The Yellow Box, Odin Can Detect My Phone. But About The Firmware, Does CSC and PDA Matter?

Rom Manager is compatible with some phones..not with Ace ...though i have heard that now the compatibilty is improved ...
I have bricked my phone using Rom manager too ( i was a noob then flashed the wrong recovery luckily for me the service centre guys repaired it for me ) ...

Lol Wow I Did Google Before I asked, Just That They Gave me A Bunch Of Stuff That my Brain Couldnt Comprehend
So Now, I Have Downloaded The Stock Firmware and It Seems Like There is Only One File, Unlike In Tutorials Which Have the CSC PDA MODEM File. So I Dont know How to Use The File in Odin.
I Have Seen Tutorials Where The Stock Firmware Consist Of One File Like Mine Also, Where They Input That One Big File Into The PDA Slot. However Mine Doesnt Seem To Work.
There Could Be Afew Outcomes While Flashing that One File into PDA with Odin ( The message in Odin, Telling me what it is doing currently)
1. Setup Connection... ( And Then Stucks There )
2. Flash Failure
Mind Helping Me Abit, Seems Disastrous Lol.. Much Thanks
I think yours is a "one package " file ...there is an option in odin ..tick it and navigate to the file

Galaxy Tab 8.9 Dangerous odd behavior??

I hope some one can help. I have never seen anything like this. I have an 8.9 GT-P7310 and its acting very strange. I have tried to Odin anything I can from stock ICS to custom recovery to stock honeycomb and stock recovery. Everything, I repeat everything fails. It looks like it will go and fails everytime. In this case I would look at it as a brick with the firmware upgrade failure message but no. All I have to do is boot it into recovery reset and it turns on. I just cant do anything :crying: Also the tab flickers red whenever I make a selection but I am out of ideas here..
I have a new Sam cable and tried all Usb ports
Make sure to turn off all the developer options. Sounds like you have USB debugging and 'Screen Flash' turned on ... at least.

Thanks for the quick reply.. Ill check it right now and report back
Edit: Odin still fails
I feel like it has a corrupted bootloader or so,
how to circumvent this?
well maybe if you use the pit file to repartition the tablet then install a boot loader from an old and complete stock honeycomb would make a difference.
you can check sammobile for a stock complete honey comb and check additional downloads for a PDF to describe how to flash using ODIN and another link to the 7300 and 7310 pit file to repartition.
after all I am not sure, but I am rather giving a shot, so you might wait for a more experienced senior user who can figure it out straight

you can find the pit file at samfirmware if you search for the tab in "firmware and files"
But I'm really not sure of this. I'm just thinking with you, so my advice is to wait some time for a senior member who can help you without guessing, because they may render the tablet unusable, so it might be abit dangerous to go for these guesses right now .

Ok now i am screwed tablet stuck in download.
Doesnt work with the pit file either.
Have you flashed the pit file with repartition ticked?
Also after repartitoning, have you flashed the bootloader of stock honeycomb then flashed a stock honeycomb for your tablet? (@ PDA & CSC)?

Have you checked the service manual for changing the software for the tablet on samfirmware?
I read that after you flash the pit file, you should remove the battery then connect to odin and flash the bootloader, PDA, CSC files from a previous complete stock.
Please read the service manual carefully from samfirmware to check the steps accuratley.

Yea I tried that just now. No luck... I am going to read the instructions but I am sure I have done everything correctly.

Flashed Germany 4.3 Stuck on Samsung Screen

Hello Guys i flashed the Germany Version of 4.3 lte last night and in doing so i have Temporarily killed my Phone.
I have tried all the Recoveries processes via Kies and Odin and i am having no luck.
I think the reason why it won't flash is because the Germany 4.3 is a Newer Version than the Stock 4.1.2.
When i'm in Odin i get sboot.bin Fail when trying to Flash the Latest Stock rom. I am able to Flash the Germany 4.3 again and that flashes but then the Phone Stays on the Samsung Flash Screen.
Could someone please Help? I have been on with this for Hours now. I think what i need is a 4.3 Version of any rom in Odin .tar format so i can at least get the phone to boot up and then maybe i can get CWM Recovery on there and flash a Stock rom that way.
Thanks in Advance
You have to remove sboot.bin and tz.bin when downgrading. Be careful, downgrading will give you Knox warranty void 0x1!

THE kies frimware intilition doesnt work as you have 4.3 bootloader and knox blocks older boot loader
dont worry when 4.3 becomes available in your area it wont have to downgrade and ultimately this method will work but still things are looking pretty bad dor the intermediatory days.
PS is ther anyway to restore baseband imei without any backup

I have no idea what i did different, However i have reflashed the German 4.3 on my GT-I9305 and this time to my Total Surprise it worked!!
I wish i could say what i did and it worked but i have absolutely no idea what was done differently.
Thanks all for your Help.
I will say i installed the drivers manually and just on the off chance i flashed it again with the file i downloaded last Night. I also flashed a recover trying to get it to load a recover so i could flash a zip file.

Sorry for the late response but when you get stuck on the Samsung boot screen all you have to do is boot into Recovery and do a Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
Another thing to remember is to flash the modem for your country otherwise you might accidently disable some frequencies and enable other useless ones.

Which 4.3 update did you flash? I used the DBT German one.
Did you flash the right modem too? It worked for me and i was using a i9305T. All i did was flash the latest modem (from the brand of phone i have which is Telstra) and did a wipe data and wipe cache.

Sorry, should have read a bit closer. I was going to recommend that you use CWM to flash ROMs back but you don't have the i9295. Where did you purchase it from? I'm from Australia, so I'm not sure about the US, but I think I've read in other threads that some Best Buys(?) have Samsung stores in them that have reflashed the stock firmware free of charge without actually checking your warranty. Maybe you want to look into this?

The problem with your S4A is that it has a locked bootloader, so you can't flash firmware yourself, sorry!

If you took the official OTA for 4.3, ML2, there is no known root exploit available. Odin is easy to flash with - there are 1 clicks that do all the hard work for you, all you have to do is put your phone into download mode and the app does the rest on your PC. Make sure you have the proper drivers installed. Best way I found was to download the software suite from Samsung for the phone. Without the proper drivers Odin won't see the phone (I found this out the hard way.)

No worries, I heard they were pretty good in the US. Remember though, you can't root it on 4.3 (yet). If they've set it back to 4.2.2 then you can root again and not update to 4.3. If they've set it to 4.3 then either you will have to follow @Devo7v's instruction to flash back or wait it out as a root method is currently being worked on.

Download the full ML2 Odin, check the MD5 to make sure you didn't get a corrupted download. MAKE SURE all the files are in the right place in Odin and flash away. It should put the stock firmware back on the phone. Then you can proceed from there.

The MD5 is sort of like the fingerprint for the file, so you need the MD5 of the file you downloaded to match the MD5 that was posted in the thread. Download WinMD5Sum from the website here. Under File Name load the ML2 Odin zip package that you downloaded. WinMD5Sum will generate the MD5 of the file you downloaded and you can compare that to the MD5 the uploader posted in the thread. If the MD5's match then that means you downloaded exactly what was posted. If the MD5's don't match exactly, then you have a corrupted download and need to download it again.
