Import change to Australian Stock assistance...

Hi all,
New here. Just bought myself a Galaxy S3 (first smartphone). It's a bit tricky to get use too but is fun.
I basically purchased the phone as an import, so it came with French(?) software, though I wanted to change to Australian Firmware. I downloaded the latest Australian Firmware from;
sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9300&pcode=XSA&os=1&type=1#firmware
along with the "Additional Files" which came with Odin 3.04
I booted the phone into Developer Mode then loaded Odin, left "Auto Reboot" & "F.Reset Timer" checked & other boxes unchecked/unchanged.
The phone detected (0:[COM9]) highlighted in light blue.
I then loaded the downloaded Firmware into 'PDA' section (.tar.md5), then clicked 'START'
The phone and Odin did its thing then 'Green PASS' appeared and phone reset.
I input all the details into the phone and details from *#1234# are as follows;
~~~BEFORE UPDATE~~~ (French stock ?)
AP: I9300XXALEF
CP: I9300XXLEF
CSC: I9300XEFALE1
~~~AFTER UPDATE~~~ (Australian Sotck ?)
AP: I9300XXBLH3
CP: I9300XXLH1
CSC: I9300XSABLH2
Afterwards I went into system settings and did a factory reset. After phone loaded up again, re-did all the details, but, when I went to update (there was a system update available), it failed to update. I loaded Kies and it said "your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". After this, I remembered the PDF Flashguide from sammobile said to Factory Reset using *2767*3855#, which I then did, re-did all the info again. Attempted the update and it seemed to work (unknown if anything was actually installed as it was quite fast). Now Kies says "This is the latest Firmware"...did it work?
If this is all good, what went wrong during this process? (so I know for future reference)
Is there anything I can check to make sure everything else is all good ? I basically want Australian Stock Firmware and don't really want any issues downloading updates via Australian networks.
Another thing, I read a couple times where people are saying UK firmware is 'better'?...something to do with faster updates ??
Sorry for the long post, kinda new and wanted to be clear as possible (noob video told me to ).
Kind Regards,

[Q] [HELP] Wifi dont turn on, can't call after debrand

Hi, i have problem after debranding my galaxy.
Wifi is not turning on, and i can't call, when i try, there is a black screen.
I have branded PL in "Plus", and i tried with xeo roms from april (I9505XXUAMDE) and may (I9505XXUAME2) and modems for them.
When i tried first time to change rom, i had error in odin (can't write or something like that). So i rooted my device using cf-auto-root, changed csc from btu to xeo, then I9505_OFFICIAL_STATUS_MOD, wipe and triangle away, then rom.
How i can fix that?

If I be you - i try to go to Advanced phills touch recovery menu, format there everything (system, data, partitions EVERYTHING) except sd card. Then i would like to try to flash Android OS (4.3) with repartition (pit file if I remember it correctly). After that, the good idea is install root, than phills touch again (I don't remember, but something overrides another one and recovery menu dissapears or...whatever, need to try) and test again if you have this issue.
Giving this information you gave, it's even for SUPER DUPER PRO EXTRA HIGH-RANKING with IQ over 9000 developer is actually impossible. Anyway, I'e just told you the best way how to fix it.

I found somewhere similar problem, and i tried to install 4.3 rom, and everything works fine

[Q] Unknown Baseband / IMEI - no warranty :(

Greetings,
My phone was working fine until a few days ago, when suddenly it starts to show the icon for no service.
I've already tried to reset to factory defaults, and also reflashed the stock rom, after this I found out that my baseband and imei where null (not sure if this was the main reason for not having service, but at least looks like)
What is the correct way of fixing unknown baseband/imei? reflashing the modem?
My phone was bought in south africa last year, and now I'm living in brazil.
Model: (Note3) SM-N900
South Africa - XFE
PDA: N900XXUDND1
CSC: N900OJVDND1
MODEM: N900XXUDND1
Where to download the correct modem firmware? any other ideas/suggestions that I should try?
Thanks

Same problem
bro i hav a note three from Roman because i check the phone sticker behind the battery the imei and serial says its (ROM) {Romania} and its on kitkat i can run sim but i cant use 3g or 4g on the phone its always on E not switching i tried my sim on other phone 3g works but not on my Note3 so i m searching for the phone imei repair everyone is sayin EFS and i down want a complicated method i want easy and clean way there is a wbsite for the imei checker(http://sndeep.info/en) check ur phone imei the one on the back wht dose it say and also the serial it will tell u where use unit belongs to if sim not running then i suggest to consult with the android experts local shops here u wont get answers..... and they wont help out....

As far as I know, my rom should be: South Africa - XFE
When I checked my serial on the website that you linked, I could see Vietnam.
I'm in the very south of brazil, not many android experts around here

- Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'.
- Select firmware for your device/CSC to download. You can flash full firmware via Odin, or extract and get 2 files: modem.bin + NON-HLOS.bin.
- To flash the modem, make sure to enter download mode by completely switch off the phone, and boot to download mode by hardware key combination. Flash modem.bin first, reboot, then flash NON-HLOS.bin.

Hello vndnguyen,
I've checked my phone info/firmware with Phone Info Samsung app, and it also pointed to the South Africa, XFE rom.
I did uncompressed the tar.md5 file but did not found the file NON-HLOS.bin. I've just found modem.bin file.
Should I proceed flashing just modem.bin with odin? Flashing only modem.bin would give me a chance to restore baseband version information and imei?
In the past days, I've flashed this rom (the complete md5 rom file), would also the modem .bin be applied while stock rom flashing?
Thank you

Today I called Samsung customer service asking for support, I know that since I bought my phone on another country, they would not give warranty, so I was ready to pay for support and have my phone fixed.
Samsung denied any kind of service on my phone, saying that they only support phones bought in brazil.
They also told me that I should look for any other 3rd party support.
I started a complain at 'reclameaqui', but anyway, I'm quite sure that this is going nowhere.
http://www.reclameaqui.com.br/10344...cs/galaxy-note-3-suporte-negado-pela-samsung/
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or things that I should try.
Thank you

Rom 442 pologne... boot download mod CP GNG1 in ap case odin and reboot recovery reset all data. Good luck

Thanks for the advice, but looks that I got lucky....
After registering my complain at "reclameaqui", Samsung changed their position and called me offering an option for repairing my phone.
Tomorrow I will be shipping my phone to their support center.
I will come for an update when the phone comes back.
Thank you

Today I received my phone from Samsung.
They didn't fixed the phone and they also informed me that they where unable to fix it since the required parts for fixing aren't available in Brazil.
So I guess that now I have a big useless phone that can be used only to hold some papers in place.
Any ideas or suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Try and download the XXUBMI2 modem and flash it through Odin. Make sure you have auto restart off and when it's flashed, pull the battery from your phone and reboot back into download mode. Then flash the modem again, this time with auto reboot on. That should make sure it's flashed. Restart your phone and then see if all is working. I've had issues like this before, and it turned out to be modem related, but my phone is the N9005. It's worth a try though

Hello Brownie2k,
I've followed your advice and flashed the modem using Odin (first time removing the battery, and second time with auto reboot), still with imei/baseband unknown .
Also tried to flash the stock rom again (XFE), and repeated the modem flash... same issue
Is XXUBMI2 the correct modem file for my phone? Should I also try the other modems? I've tried to follow the link to samsung firmware checker but the page seens to be broken
Thank you!!

Any Solution you find? tried above suggestions no luck

Your imei and baseband is there but doesnt recognize by your rom. Pls download firmware has baseband in it like *****NG1 and flash though ODIN. Your imei and baseband will be back. You can download firmware here
For 9005
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005
And 900
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900

i had same issue and flashed different modems and one worked.
for me nothing was working correctly untill i unticked F.reset time and Auto reboot,
i just manually rebooted my phone when odin job was finished.

[Q] i9505 WiFi not working - tried ALL solutions (GNG8 baseband)

Hi!
Does anyone ever managed to fix not working WiFi on i9505 flashed to stock 4.4.2 with GNG8 and higher modems/basebands? On a daily basis i'm running CM11 but due to heavy GPS problems I decided to go to stock 4.4.2 (I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YXZGNH2_XEO).
Unfortunately I never managed to get WiFi fixed. I've tried everything I found on xda. And yes, i'm experienced Android user
What I've tried:
1. re-flash modem and NON-HLOS.bin files, tried multiple times - no success. Also tried single flash but from "hard power off".
1a. did factory resets, reflashed, rebooted and so on and so forth.
2. re-flashed all rom again - no success
3. re-flashed bootloader, also multiple times.
4. tried to edit build.prop and disabled "secure.storage" (switched do false) - no success
I've repeated every one step in a different order, like flashing modem, no auto reboot, flashing again, then flashing NON-HLOS etc. etc.
I have "Black edition" device so I hoped stock rom would fit perfectly. Ofcourse this stock is working better than CM11 latest on this machine - better battery life and better GPS operation, but no WiFi is a real pain.
Anyone have any clues what could be wrong?
Thanks,
Tomek

So just to summarize, Wifi works on CM but not on TW based roms?

Yes, that's correct (whatever TW means) - wifi works on CM11 latest but not on stock 4.4.2. What surprised me most: after reverting back to CM11 from nand backup I noticed that i'm now on GNG8 baseband/modem that got flashed from stock, and this configuration works like a charm! GPS, WiFi, 3G/4G audio and data works great on first sight and few hours of testing.
So, this must be the problem with kernel and/or modules in I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YXZGNH2_XEO rom not the baseband/modem issue itself...
I think I would try another stock 4.4.2 (I9505XXUGNH2_I9505PLSGNH1_PLS) and see if it will resolve WiFi issue....

The solution is that you have to flash the correct CSC (region code) for your device. You can know it installing this APP.

Hi, I think CSC setting is not the case. CSC should not interfere with WiFi operation at all.
When I flashed stock 4.4.2 XEO (i'm in Poland so XEO or PLS are good for me, phone was branded by PLS before) CSC in stock recovery was "Multi-CSC". Now it has changed to NEE for some reason. It happened after one of the re-flashes.
Despite that, with CSC set to NEE, CM11 is working perfectly with all features on GNG8 modem/baseband. Stock - no WiFi still.

The firmware you are flashing is DBT (Germany). You can download it: HERE. In theory you have to have:
AP : I9505XXUGNK4
CP: I9505XXUGNK4
CSC: I9505OXAGNK4
Reflash that firmware 2 times for fix your device :highfive:

I found the solution to WiFi and it is not connected with CSC setting (I still have NEE instead of XEO).
I managed to flash XEO firmware stock with WiFi finally working and enabled. This is just ridiculous and seems completely pointless and troublesome but.... :
1. turn off phone completly, some say that you just need to turn off by power button and then go to ODIN. I found that (by trying few times) it is mandatory to take out the battery not just powering off the phone by button.
2. put battery on, and enter ODIN mode (Vol Down + home).
3. flash, remember to untick "Auto reboot".
4. after successfull flash, again take out battery.
5. again, put battery on, enter ODIN mode.
6. flash, AND AGAIN remember: do not auto reboot! (untick "Auto reboot")
7. after successfull flash.... Yes - remove battery put battery on and enter RECOVERY mode this time.
8. instead of stock recovery menu it will show some progressbar going with green android and then it will reboot. Let him do so.
9. after reboot and settle down for minute or two, poweroff by removing battery.
10. enter stock recovery, now it will work and do Factory Wipe/reset. Reboot.
This procedure I found after maybe 10-15 reflashings. I think that crucial parts are: remove battery between every reflash and going to recovery at the end, two times.. other options i've tried didn't help at all.
I'm wondering why is that? Is it some kind of write protection (besides KNOX thing) that does not allow to simple flash/reboot procedure?
But still - I cant figure out why CSC is set to first from the list of available CSCs after that operation (NEE is first, there's some other possible CSCs and XEO at the end).

[Q]SOLVED Noob GT-I9505 WIFI dead after upgrd 4.4.2 searched and tried all solutions

First of all please forgive me for opening yet another S4 wifi problem after kitkat upgrade, but I have tried everything I could possibly find here, on youtube and other forums. The only thing left to try is flash the modem but I'd rather ask before I brick my phone
I'm not quite sure if this is the same issue every single time or if in my case it is due to my ignorance and errors. I was an iphone/unlock/jailbreak user until last year so please bear with me. Android is new and fun (but scary) territory to me.
Situation, what I did and possible mistakes on my side:
-I'm in Spain but I bought my factory unlocked phone on amazon and it was for the Polish market (GT-I9505 Black, 16 Gb)
-My device was rooted don't even remember how I did it last year so no useful info on that side a part of using odin for windows.
- Until yesterday I was on jellybean, not quite sure if 4.2.2 or 4.3
- Yesterday I upgraded to 4.4.2 via mobile odin and yes I checked the boxes about clearing/deleting cache or whatever it's called.
- Used a stock firmware downloaded from other site (that one starting with "S" and with a great amount of firmwares for samsung devices of several countries)
- I chose a firmware randomly (maybe this was my mistake) because I hade read that the firmware was not that important and people where usimg leaked german firmwares on on phones from elsewhere. But I did choose one that matched the country of my phone (XEO/XX Poland)
- Everything is working fine but without wifi I'm buying new Mb bundles almost every 2 hours and I'll be broke very soon
If you guys think the solution is flashing the modem which file should I use? I see lots of them with different models/codes and I'm completely lost and have read a lot about messing with bootloaders/modems etc bricking devices so I'm freaking scared and ask for your charitative help!
All the info I could gather about my device right now (now I know I should have gathered this info also before attempting to upgrade but it's too late now!

Thank you so much for your helpful reply Joku1981 !!!!! You made my day!!!
Can I do that with Mobile Odin??? My PC broke (Graphics card burnt) and until a couple of months won't be able to buy a new one.
To make sure I understand you: You mean Flash again the same firmware I used to upgrade to 4.4.2 in the first place?
I used this Firmware: I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YXZGNH2_XEO
should I try Flashing that same Stock Firmware again? and if does not work keep reflashing until the baseband and the bootloader get updated?
Why did they not update ? is this common or an error on my side???
I hope it can be done with mobile Odin since I can keep my root status, If I have to do it in Desktop Odin do I have to Re-Root after flashing???
Thank you so much for you kind help!!!!!!

SOLVED!!!!!
After nobody answered if I could use again "mobile Odin" to flash once more and try to fix my wifi not working I opened mobile odin and it gave me a warning about my version and having a wrong bootloader as a possibility of soft bricking my phone so I decided to stay away of mobile Odin this time.
I used desktop Odin (at work since my pc broke) and exactly the same firmware file downloaded from sammobile (but re-downloaded it just in case) and had to flash twice, the first time it went through the whole process ok right until the end where it showed the FAIL message.
I didn't know if I should turn off the phone stuck in download mode and with the process bar at 100 % or retry flashing without turning it off. So I decided not to turn it off (afraid it would get soft bricked or something). I closed mobile Odin but left phone On with download mode screen active and opened mobile Odin again got the "added"message and the blue color showing it was properly connected to the phone and started flashing process again....
I started getting red error messages saying the progress bar display was wrong (and it wasn't updating/kept stuck in the previous 100%) but after it finished it was flashed and everything was ok. WIFI WORKED!!!!!!
Now the weird part.....in case this happens /helps someone else:
- My phone DID NOT get wiped. My launcher and my apps stayed intact (I thought flashing even the same firmware always wiped data, I'm I wrong???)
- All my root apps (root explorer, titanium backup, so on and so forth) where there and working fine. One root checker stated I was rooted and another one stated I wasn't but even my launcher (nova) was working just as if I never flashed the phone.
- Since I was unsure of my "root" state and I did not have "supersu" app in my apps drawer I tried installing it via playstore but It always gave an error message (the application could not be installed in the default location)
- I rooted again just in case and the root process finished without errors but still I had no "supersu" app and one root checker said I was rooted and the other I wasn't. Tried installing "supersu" from the playstore but same error and could not get installed.
- I searched here and in other forums for similar problems/solutions but nothing worked until I tried several things that fixed the problem. Not really sure which fixed it so I will write them down in the order I did them:
1. Opened folder mount which I already had installed and it gave me an error and asked me to try the fix which I did.
2. Opened linked2sd which I already had installed also previous to the firmware flash. It gave me an error and asked me which was the partition to use (as when I first installed it) in my case it was ext4. And it seemed to start working as it normally does. No further error when reopening it.
3. Rebooted the phone and tried entering recovery mode to wipe cache etc but It never entered recovery mode. I get the message about going into recovery mode (top left corner small red letters) But right after that it reboots and I get the samsung logo and my home screen.
4. Tried reinstalling supersu again and no success. (By the way before I did all this steps I tried rooting again but got to the same point. No supersu on my apps drawer)
5. Downloaded BusyBox install (opened it but did not use it in any way, maybe something in the installation fixed my problem)
6. Opened mobile Odin just for curiosity sake and it opened fine and asked for downloading of the extra stuff as when I installed it the first time. After that I closed it
7. Rebooted normally (no recovery mode since I'm stuck without it)
8. Tried installing "supersu" and NOW it worked!!!
9. Checked in both root checker apps and both confirm I'm rooted and supersu started asking for granting permissions to apps again as it normally does!
10. Everytime I attempted flash, root, and even after some reboots I took the battery off (since I read in several threads it helped/was mandatory)
Conclusion now my WIFI problem is fixed, my root problem (that appeared doing the reflash for fixing my wifi problem) is also fixed. The only thing I could not fix is not being able to get into recovery mode.
Does anyone know a solution for recovering the ability to get into recovery mode????
Thanks to Joku for lighting me into re flashing once and again until my wifi was fixed!
