Debrand from O2 to Stock

Hi I am thinking of taking the O2 firmware off my phone and going for Samsung stock. I am on JE2 just now so should I go straight to JE2 stock or the new JE7? The phone is a contract phone so would it be easy to get the O2 ROM back if I ever needed a warranty repair?

SEARCH in development section O2 rom debrand .

Hi
I followed the guide and successfully changed the firmware to the stock Samsung one on the thread mentioned here. However when I did the factory reset and reboot (which wipes everything) I find my handset still thinks it operator is o2 rather than the other CSC code mentioned which should mean it can take the standard firmware ota updates... this was my sole reason for de-branding so i can take advantage of OTA updates without waiting for them via o2.
Everything went as per the guide so I'm not sure why the change to a the XEU CSC operator didnt work. I've tried the factory reset/reboot twice and still shows the same.
Any advice on how to move this forward would be very much appreciated as although I'm now on stock f/w i can't update with KE7 or any of the other recent updates.
cheers
Bob.

Did you do *#272*imei# select csc and then do factory reset? This is what I had to do to get the change to be recognised.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

When i enter this I get a screen which shows
Preconfig
Sales Code O2U
Green button (not hilighighted)
and two buttons at the bottom
Install / Cancel
Are you saying i should select this O2U and hit install and THEN factory reset?
-- update --
when i hit the radio button the above screen and hit Install it says 'must be THREE chars.'
So not really sure what to do from here...

BTW CSC currently shows as unknown (from doing *#1234#)
thanks

Hmmm strange. Follow step8 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894
If that doesnt work I would put the O2 FW back on and try again

There have never been OTA updates .

Kies does not update stock rom in general though some report it has . Never happened to me from SGS1 to SGS 2 on many tries .
KE7 not yet on Kies for many .
Most of us debrand to remove branding and use Odin to flash stock firmware on release . Odin = KE7 now no wait .
Rebranding phone with original for warranty purpose only if needed .

do a factory reset using setting privacy, my CSC didnt change using the factory reset in recovery menu, only changed when I did the reset in settings menu.

thanks for the replies all. Tried the factory reset from the settings menu but preconfig still shows 02u and *#1234# still shows CSC unknown...
guess I'll have to try reflashing via ODIN again... should i use a different firmware..
i installed
I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.TAR
(taken from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894)
Should i try a different version or put the stock one back...from the same thread..
I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100O2UKD1_HOME.TAR
...
I guess whatever i flash I'll do the reset from the boot menu and also the factory reset as recommended..
any further feedback appreciated... guess its not likely i'll brick my phone but would like to be able to take advantage of the new features in the later f/wares.
thanks all.

Problems going back to stock

Hi,
Was running CM11 on my GS4. I want to go completely back to stock however I'm hitting issues with it.
Downloaded the 02UK firmware file from Samware, flashed it in Odin, did a wipe before and after. Takes a while to boot in each time, sometimes needs a battery pull etc.
Now, I can load up fine - however no matter what I try, wifi won't turn on, a lot of the time signal will drop/ turn off when I lock the screen. Have tried flashing 4.2.2 as well, exactly the same and on the latest flash noticed as issue with the recovery, won't allow a data wipe/ partition in recovery, just flashes something red and then reboots.
I know this has probably been asked a milion times before. But hoping someone can help me get back to stock without the issues!
Thanks in advance.

Your having a signal issue because you need to flash a diffetent modem mate. And that should fix ur problem on signal issue . Do you mind booting into download mode and check if iy say the entry knox warranty void. Thanks
Sent from Hell ?

Currently 4.2.2 as I read the 4.3 update had caused some of these issues (although I want to be on stock 4.3.
I did notice after I posted that the baseband was for German phones (no idea how that got on there). So I flashed the a new modem and baseband is now at I9505XXUEMK8 which is supposed to be the correct one (if not please advise!?). However Wifi still not working. Tried the wifi fix file for the baseband, didn't work, also tried the root /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant rename fix. Didn't work.
Are you able to tell me which Stock Rom/ Modem etc to flash or anything else to try??
Thanks in advance!

Try to find the right Stock rom from here that base in your country mate and flash it via odin . Like i told you if you boot into download mode and check if there is knox void warranty? If you dont have that flash inly 4.2.2 stock rom but if you see that then feel free to flash a stock 4.3

Ok - So I have flashed the UK 4.3 BTU rom (Jss15J.I9505XXUEMKF) and have a baseband of I9505XXUEMK8 (which was the O2 one). Signal is fine no issues etc.
Still Wifi won't turn on though.
What do I need to do for this bit??
EDIT: As per your last post, I have no idea about Knox? I didn't see anything show up on download mode.
It also doesn't seem to be working now. The rom crashes when calls are received and wont dial etc. Ok - so should I go back and install the earliest 4.2.2 Rom version for 02 as the phone came with? Then update through OTA?

Well I told you if you dont have an Entry of Knox Warranty Void when you boot into download mode then flash the 4.2.2 Stock rom :S But you already flashed the 4.3 so you can no longer downgrade to 4.2.2 ... Can you please Dial *#1234# and write it down somewhere . and then Download this Wifi Fix and flash it Via odin and After reboot still did not work then Try to download and extract this file and Flash the .tar Via odin by selecting Phone/CP And if this file did not work after flashing then please feel free to play one of the wifi fix from Here Start's from MK9 until MKE might fix your issue.

Thanks for the help Repulsa. Will try that shortly and let you know the results!
EDIT - What about the Rom issues itself? I haven't had a chance to test everything, but I can't make calls. It calls the person but the screen freezes blank and then flickers. Should I reinstall the rom first or use another?

IMEI is the same, except for an extra /1 on the end?? Rest as follows;
AP I905XXUEMKF
CP I9505XXUEMK8
CSC I9505BTUEMK5
Tried everything from you earlier post except going through the final wifi fix versions. Nothing has worked so far though....

I'm in pretty much the boat.... I was using Omega ROM 4.3 but wanted to go back to Stock unrooted firmware.
I flashed Stock 4.3 (XXUEMKF to be precise - both Baseband and Build) using Odin 3.04
Now I cant turn wifi on
When I go into Download mode I dont have any KNOX lines and my Binary is Custom not stock!!!
Don't want to mess things up anymore than I already have by trying to flash everything under the sun!!!!
Back to using my faithful Note 2 for the time being then I guess!!!

HELP my N9005 bugs after I flash stock firmware

DAY 1: My phone bootloops when i flashed a modem. So I flashed a firmware base on my country (Philippines N9005XXUEND6). I used odin 3.09 for flashing, did check the FRESET TIME, AUTOREBOOT, AP BOX and BOOTLOADER UPDATE.. It was successful but on the homescreen, "setup wizard has stopped" flashes on screen so I factory reset via stock recovery, then it runs ok.. Set up is done,. But another problems are:
1. entering camera, it shows black screen then says "warning: camera failed".
2. entering the phone dialler it takes seconds to respond
3. music is freezes
4. unlocking the phone it takes seconds to open
5.wakelock takes seconds also to respond
6. no sound
N9005XXUEND6 is the firmware I flashed.
DAY 2: I flashed a different firmwares XXUEND5, XXUENB4, but i notice that i after flashing, no setup wizard in the homescreen. It is the same settings,wallpaper and i have the messages and conversations in my inbox. It looks like the firmware didnt update but i look up in the baseband and build version it does change.. A friend of mind says that after flashing a firmware setup wizard must pop on the screen but mine doesnt.HELP ME MASTERS.. Im losing hope..
I cant figure out the problem, my drivers is installed, i have the firmwares, odin 3.09, and all required tools for flashing
please help me masters.. I did trying reflash the firware and do the reset, the problem persist.. thanks in advance

I have a similar problem, but I think yours is much more simpler hopefully
You find the data unchanged because you didn't do a factory reset
To do so, turn off your phone then open recovery mode by pressing VOLUME+, HOME & POWER buttons together until it opens
Choose Wipe Data/ Factory Reset --> Yes
then reboot your phone
My phone turned out to have a RAM problem and still haven't fixed it, it will cost me a lot especially that I voided my warranty because I rooted the phone

The same problem exactly!!! And I do all reset severel times! Help us!!!

If you could fix it don't forget to tell us about it
BTW I found a post online that says the problem could be due to separated camera from the motherboard
So if you don't have warranty as myself you should get it to maintenance service and tell them to check the camera

What is your Knox Warranty Void status ?
if it's still 0x0, you should send it to Samsung service

Then I guess your problem is like mine .. it could be hardware related :\
After I installed this ROM I found the camera working but not video camera and still can't play videos but there are no hangs
It still has problems but it sort of confirmed that I have a hardware problem
You need to be rooted
It's an AOSP ROM without Samsung Touchwiz ..

You said you tried updating the firmware of your region and the problem persists .. You should let someone flash the software using a BOX (not just using odin) (preferably go to Samsung)
if it's not solved then it's most probably a hardware problem .. I didn't drop my phone either but that's not necessary

I saw now the CSC is XSP this is the only prb but also is csc free no bloatware.also you can root back again and you can restore your old settings except :
1. CSC settings and APP settings that camed with your original firmware
2. when insert your sim back you will be notified to update internet settings to your provider ( for me Vodafone RO) , you can change them back to google.com . is ok THX for your apreciation.

[Q] flashing Stock UK BTU though on boot polish language shown

Ages ago because i was impatientto update my phone so i flashed the Polish Stock using Odin, since then i have used Odin to flash the UK Stock, though when i wipe and reset the phone it still initially comes up with the polish language, (not a massive issue i know but i want to get UK OTA if it ever comes) also if i go to sell the phone at the end of this year when the Note5 is out im sure the new owner would want to turn it on and see english.
Ive tried
Clearing the EFS cache and resetting the phone from recovery before and after flashing BTU
I made sure reactivation lock was off as I wondered if that would cause an issue though that hasn't helped. does anyone have any other ideas?
Im un-routed as i sometimes use my phone to test out corporate BYOD so cant root of flash a custom rom.
thanks all for any help.

Download Phone INFO Samsung from Play and check the CSC.
But it might be you are rebooting into DL mode instead of shutting down the phone then starting it in DL mode. I usually remove the battery for a bit and hold the power button for a few secs to make sure the mainboard is completely discharged. Odin (& other methods) all have problems changing BL and Modem if you just do a reboot into DL.
You might want to take a look at Multiboot and Recovery for the possibility of having the ROM you want, rooted etc. AND still have a stock ROM you can choose to boot into for work purposes.
