Hi im new to these forums as i have just bought a galaxy s second hand,
anyways the problem is when i connect it to kies to try and update the firmware it says the current firmware is: blank <as in nothing>
tried kies 1.5 and 2.0 same thing it picks up the phone but wont pick up the firmware,
im guessing somethings been done to this phone, all i want is the stock firmware and to be able to update in the future, nothing fancy. please help.
Find what version your stock firmware is and flash it with odin. You can download the firmware from samfirmware.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i dont know if this helps but it says
pda: i9000xxjpo
phone: i9000xxjpp
csc: unknown
build info: 2010, 10
firmware version
2.2
baseband version
i9000xxjpp
kernel
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
build
froyo.xxjpo
now which one is my stock firmware and can this be updated via kies once ive done it through odin?
Stock firmware = basic unbranded unaltered firmware as supplied by Samsung .
Network firmware is above plus any network branding plus add on that the network have added .
So you have stock firmware .
now which one is my stock firmware and can this be updated via kies once ive done it through odin?
No if you use Kies it will look for the phones product code to update product code is tied to seller/network of original phone .
What is your product code .
Question has to be what do you want on your phone re firmware and are you willing to use flashing methods or not .
jje
thanks for the reply,
now how do i find the product code?
from what i know about the phone is that it used to be on vodaphone and is now sim free, the guy who sold it to me told me he had 2.3 on there but reverted it before selling, i dont see how he managed to do this using kies?
what i would like is to be able to update it through kies to 2.2.1 which is what my gf has on her phone, and make it readable for future updates, if i have to use flashing methods to achieve this then so be it, or is there another way if i can get the product code?

Enter *2767*4387264636# in your dialer.
Then there will be a line that says:
[2] PCode:"your phone model type"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628&highlight=Kies+Registry+Patcher
You are best to try above and see how you get on .
As its non stock firmware you may need to spoof the product details etc .
If the download of the firmware works take the opportunity to save the rom as in instructions .
jje
pcode: gt-i9000hkaxee
There is no such sales-code, just flash to the latest JPY and you are set..the phone you have has been flashed to Nordic firmware sales-code XEE at some point, the sales-code for Voda is GT-I9000HKDVOD or GT-I9000HKAVOD.
After flashing enter in phone-dialer the following: *#272*IMEI_NUMBER# and choose XEU.
9000 [Sweden] = GT-I9000HKAXEE
Product code for Sweden.

ok this is disappointing news, i am sorry i am really new to all this, but does this mean il never be able to update through kies, and will need to keep flashing to update the phone?
do i still try the kies registry patcher thing or forget about it?
Are you swedish in sweden or where what product firmware do you want .

Ofcourse you can use kies in the future, but after you have corrected the sales-code. You might be able to do it now, just enter *#272*IMEI_NUMBER# and try to see if you can choose XEU.
i am from the uk london to be exact, and i just wanted the latest kies firmware, like my gf has 2.2.1 i will try the code you gave me now and post back
ok i tried that with the imei and it said rejected

Check the IMEI number under Settings>About phone>Status , see if it is correct. You must enter the number without slashes or spaces.

The latest Kies firmware for your phone is Swedish .
Kies reads your phone and servers sees Swedish product code and wrong firmware so it does not proceed .
Choice is one use Odin and put the latest stock non network Firmware on phone
problem will be its not going to update in the future via Kies as Kies will be trying to update the firmware thats Swedish .
two change your product code
three use Kies registry patcher to spoof your phone to a UK branded phone
same as one you wil not get a further update but need to spoof again .
Example current )2 uk firmware with very little branding/ad ons by O2 .

He did state that the phone was on vodaphone, GT-I9000HKDO2U is an O2 sales code, I did suggest XEU because vodaphone codes are GT-I9000HKAVOD or GT-I9000HKDVOD, in this case he has GT-I9000HKAXXX, and while changing the sales code only the last three letters would change. If he does change that to O2 code then it will change to GT-I9000HKAO2U then keis will not recognize the phone again, because there is no such sales-code.

My friend, download JPY from here: http://www.multiupload.com/UHJNT0K1F2 Extracting code is samfirmware.com
Flash using odin 1.7 : http://www.multiupload.com/JMBJGDN00I
Load the extracted tar file in odin as PDA and flash, after that enter the recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Use the images here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 as reference if you did not use odin before, but you must start odin, load the tar file as PDA and then put the phone on download phone before connecting the phone and flashing.
Entering download mode is by pressing and holding Volume down key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to download mode.
Entering recovery mode is by pressing and Volume up key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to recovery mode, navigate using Volume op/down keys and select using Home key.
Good luck..
I bought a 'brand new Galaxy S4' which came with rooted. I have flashed the BTU firmware to the device but in Keis it says device not eligible for update.
How can I fix this?

You should be able to flash back to stock using odin then upgrade or flash the updated version with odin.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
You have to unroot your device and flash the firmware with corresponding CSC to your country. On top of that you have to flash the firmware that was ALREADY officialy in your country (best way is to download package from sammobile.com) after that the OTA will work. I know because I also had problems with OTA after rooting the device.
I have reflashed the BTU UK firmware I9505XXUAMDM via ODIN and my device now shows as running official rom
Kies now says...
Your devices current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies.
What gives?
Hi,
Recovery mode mentions multi csc. Could this be the problem?

Hi,
Where did you buy a "Brand New S4" with root?
Not sure what you are trying to do.
You have root, so, just flash the latest stock ROM and you are up to date.
If you are trying to get back to "Official" stock, then, look HERE
Use Triangle Away to reset your counter, and you will be able to get Ota.

I bought the phone from Amazon as new.. This is my first Android phone and I only noticed the problem when I checked the apps and it had SuperSU istalled and Kies complained about not being supported for updates.
What I am trying to do is get the phone running as stock so it will update via Kies + OTA and also remove the yellow multi CSC writing from the boot recovery menu.
I have tried unrooting and flashing stock BTU firmware but then I still have the yellow writing in the boot recovery menu and cannot update via Kies.

Ok.. here is what I have done so far..
Rooted the rom and ran triangle away to reset my counter to 1 . I have removed root and flashed stock BTU firmware then wiped data/cache from the recovery menu.
But I still have the multi csc message in stock recovery that will not budge and Kies reports the phone is not supported for updates.
Could this be because the boot loader is locked?

Hi,
The bootloader is not locked.
You should have reset the counter to "0"
Then, flashed the stock firmware without rebooting the phone.
Does the recovery says that it "applied BTU" ? If not then your region code is not proper and that's why OTA does not work. Unfortunately it is hard to change CSC right now as Samsung has blocked the keystrings for user packages, keystrings works only for engineer builds.
And about that flash counter, it does not matter if its 100 or 0. The OTA will work as long as the status in download mode is official for both variables, and in Settings > About device is official too.
As I work at Samsung's R&D I know that you have to flash the firmware which was RELEASED for your country with proper CSC, the CSC has to be set (you can check it in recovery mode) and then both variables in download mode have to "Official" and status in About device also has to be Official. Then the OTA will work (At least over-the-air, not through Kies). Best way to check the OTA is to flash first firmware released for your country and check the updates. Ive done it dozen times on various devices and it always worked. You cannot be rooted and need stock recovery. The only major problem might be changing CSC on your own, because as I said it is not easy right now as Samsung blocked *#272* keystring in user packages (released for the market). Flashing engineering build will make the all keystrings work, but I guess you won't find any of those odin flashables on the net.

It says applied BTU but multi CSC exists. How do I find the original CSC code out? SO its not possible to change this at all or at least get rid of that stupid message?
Is a green andriod bot with a red exclamation mark anything to be worried about?
OTA updates now work fine However they dont work via Kies. Is this normal?
FYI the flash counter was at 3 so somebody had obviously messed with this.
Sorry for all the questions. This is my first Android device having switched from Crapple
It is weird because the box was sealed and had the protectors on the phone.
Multi CSC means that the file that was flashed contains few regions code and that it can be changed inside the OS with keystring. So nothing to worry about as long as it is set to your country and OTA works. As for the icon, it is normal after entering recovery, my device also has that icon, it does not mean that there is some error. Kies does not always wants to cooperate I do not know why, but as long over-the-air works you're not missing anything apart from cable update.

Hi,
That is why I questioned the fact that you bought a phone , and it came "Out-of-the-box" with root.
This just does not happen.
Anyway,glad you got it sorted.
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

It still has problems but it sort of confirmed that I have a hardware problem

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.
Hey People
Got my Note 4 on friday and I love it ..
The only thing I do not like about the phone is the 3 (UK) symbol that comes up when you power up the phone so I would like to unbrand the phone
Question is does three phones come unlocked ? and if they dont do I really need to unlock it before I unbrand it.
What website will supply a good untouched firmware ??
thanks in advance
Ant
If your phone has network branding then chances are its also locked to that network, three may be able to provide unlock code for free or a fee, you can check if your phone is locked by putting another network sim in your phone, if the phone asks for a code on boot then its locked, if your phone just loads as normal and finds the network then you know its unlocked.
Go to sam mobile website who have all the firmwares you need.....

Does it trip the knox warranty flag when flashing original Samsung ROM via ODIN in order to get rid of the provider modified ROM?

hi mate
I used odin 3.09 and installed the original samsung firmware
when i go into that boot mode it says
knox warranty void 0x0
so to my understanding this does not void my warrenty ?
Yep, you are good to go i guess. Thanks!
Flashing a stock firmware will not trip knox in any way, only rooting or custom firmwares would trip knox
All three phones are sent unlocked
Does this mean the OPs phone will automatically get 'vanilla' note 4/android updates or does the phone the phone still think it's a Three specific model?

If the phone has been debranded correctly it will think it's a ''vanilla' note 4" (well actually if you've debranded then your phone is a 'vanilla' note 4)
Flash stock btu
factory reset required to change the csc (carrier sales code) to generic uk one (BTU)
you should then get ota updates for "vanilla note 4"
This is good to see, I should get my three phone on friday.
Looking on the three my account page theres an option to "unlock" your phone. Obviously I don't have the phone yet so I cannot try it.
Still nice to know I can just flash the stock firmware.
I'm pretty sure 3 UK brags that it no longer locks there handsets to their network.
Thankyou
i was annoyed when i saw this on my 3 branded note four, after doing this reflash
status is still official and knox is 0x0.
I thought three had stopped branding thier phones as the last two i had wasnt.
The only thing now is i wish i could remove evernote, dont use it , dont want it, but also unable to disable it!!!.
Hi,
I'm a bit confused here, I've flashed the BTU firmware. I typed in *#272*IMEI# and nothing happens. I typed in *#1234# and it says my CSC is BTU. Is that it, do I need to do anything else? Someone mentioned having to factory reset but if my CSC is showing as the BTU do I need to?
I tried factory reset but when I boot into manual mode with volume key up+home+power it states:
Appling multi-csc
applied the csc-code:H3G
successfully applied multi-csc
So isn't the CSC still on Three UK instead of vanilla?
Despite the above I'm getting software updates now so.... meh?
Can you post some link to the unbranded rom please
thank you
I used the one the guy on the first page linked

How exactly are you guys doing this? Any video tutorials? Im really close to returning the phone for an iPhone if i can't get rid of the Carrier modifications.
Just open the firmware link on the first page and follow the instructions. Then factory reset your phone. I held down vol up+home+power for download mode and vol down+home+power for boot menu. I used the boot menu to factory reset making sure I wiped all the caches.

No need to factory reset. I downloaded the firmware from from your helpful post, and flashed my Vodafone branded Note 4, once it rebooted job was done. No vodafone crapware and all apps etc intact.
Tecio
For instructions just google odin flashing guide, there's no shortage of tutorials
Yes that was also the case for me. But for some reason I couldn't get any software updates. After factory resetting I got a software update...
Hi,
Tried to flash firmware to get rid of vodafone csc from my new s8 but csc keep staying VOD i want it BTU ideally.
Has anyone tried it yet and done it?
Need some advice
Need to flash then wipe for it to take.
Thanks for advice can you specify do you mean flash and then in recovery wipe cache and wipe data?
Anyone can help please?
Ok what he means is once flashed btu go into recovery not sure what 3 buttons to press but Google it.
Once in there wipe cache and reformat phone once more then it should change VOD to BTU that's what I did when I had my vodafone s7 and changed it to btu
It doesn't work stays VOD no matter what i do
Ok so you flashed BTU what files did you use?

This shouldn't be a problem so let me help. First some questions...
1. From which carrier/country is your phone?
2. Does it have a network lock?
3. Is it the Model number SM-G950F?
4. Which files did you flash via Odin (please type the actual filenames) and with which settings in Odin?
5. If you go into Settings - About phone - Software information - Service provider software. Please tell me the first and third line there under this point.

Hi,
1. Bought from Vodafone UK
2. Removed lock by code
3 G950F
4 Sorry don't have access to my laptop now but I've
Downloaded latest btu software from sammobile
unpacked it and used as per instructions. Tried using either home_csc or the other one but no luck either
Settings tried just standard and tried pit and reformat didn't work either
5. SAOMC_SM-G950F-OXM_XEU_077
XEU/XEU/VOD
when go into recovery it's still VOD tho
You have done all you could do.
You needed to flash with normal CSC NOT with HOME_CSC to change the CSC.
Your new CSC is XEU!
It still shows XEU/XEU/VOD because VOD is the original CSC of your phone. This is new for the S8 and could not be changed! But normally you will get OTA updates for your new XEU CSC just fine! And any Vodafone-Apps should also be removed.
So everything is like on Samsung devices debranded bevore - beside that the factory CSC is hard branded inside the phone. But thats just optical. Everything else works like it is an XEU CSC.

Are you sure about that? In the past if you didnt change properly the CSC after unbranding your phone you werent getting OTA updates anymore, i've read on SamMobile you gotta use Smart Switch using the serial number of a phone you know has that CSC, but i dont know how to find one, no one answered me on here. I'm thinking of going into a store and look at the exhibition one, but im afraid it's not legal to do that.
