Ok so are you saying that I need to re-flash to say ke7 or kf1 before I can root?
I know how to flash and root but could not find a kernel for I9100BUKE5 but then I suppose that would be the quicker way lol
can u recommend a root file explorer (free) if poss to navigate and manually change my csc?

Is it possible for someone to upload stock kernel file for 2.2.1 XXJPY (kernel version is 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1). Version that is flashable via odin, not cwm version.
I am about to flash my kernel with custom one, but would like to have stock kernel near me, just in case that something goes wrong...
Subquestion is:
is it even possible to reflash to stock kernel via odin once you fot custom one (speedmode to be precise)? I think i read somewhere on forum that it is not entirely possible. Does someone have any expirience with this?
Samfirmware (http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm) has all stock firmwares.
Yes of course you can flash back to stock, you just need to make sure that lagfixes are disabled if you enabled one.
But honestly, I'm 100% sure you won't go back to stock after flashing a custom kernel or rom, it's just that much better.

Thank you very much.
But, as I can see, on this page there are whole roms to flash, I wanted only kernel files. Could kernel be downloaded somewhere?
I'm on stock rom 2.2.1 with CF-root kernel.
Haven't seen a stock only-kernel when I searched for it recently on this forum.
I decided now to download the full stock rom from samfirmware instead which I can go back to in case Kies won't allow me to update to Gingerbread. I figured there's no big difference whether I flash a ROM (which includes the kernel) or just the kernel, the effort is the same.
I just learned that returning to stock ROM (kernel) will be little more difficult for me because my phone is T-mobile branded!
If I flash to a stock firmware does that mean kies will then recognise my firmware as offcial so I can download new updates through it. Thanks

You can always use SpoofFW to flash to your original firmware

No as its not the firmware that came with the phone nor its Kies update .
As post above only method once you use Odin is either a backed up copy of original firmware and yes a few backed up or spoof fw .

Thanks for your help what do you mean by 'spoof' fw

Ok, this is my real problem. JJE might know solution to it...
Before i start flashing my kernel, ROM etc... I would like insurance that if in a couple of months something dies in my SGS, like speaker or something, I can go to repair shop and have guarantiee.
For that I would have to reverse all changes to virginly clean T-mobile branded ROM.
As I understand, to do that i would have to flash it via Odin with 3 files (PDA, PHONE and CSC).
Currently, when I type *#1234# in phone I get:
PDA - I9000BOJS5
PHONE - I9000XXJPY
CSC - I9000GCROJS4
so I presume that are the files version that must be flashed in Odin.
I managed to find all files except CSC code (for Croatian T-mobile 2.2.1 ROM). Couldn't find it anywhere.
Is it possible to put some Multi CSC and then later change it to right one ( I9000GCROJS4) with spooffw?
Or there is another way to find/backup/extract CSC from my current configuration.
Or another way to get back to stock branded ROM if anything goes wrong?
I can do nandroid backup because I cant get to CWM because i dont have 2e recovery (that is one of reasons I want to flash to another kernel, to get 3e and CWM).
Please help!
I would like to know if it's possible to modify the CSC in the img file before loading with Odin, for the purpose to being able to use a ROM of a different region, while maintaining the same CSC. (and without WIPE)
So I want to change the German CSC in the German 4.1.2 GT-8000 ROM to Canadian CSC before loading with Odin, that way the CSC and PDA match for future OTA purposes.
The method is as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913034
Is this possible?
I opened cache.ext4 in DiskInternals, and extracted the sec_csc.zip and found the CSC folders.
However, none of them was Canadian.
Would it be possible to copy my existing CSC folder from my 4.0.4 Note 10.1 and replace and repackage the German 4.1.2 ROM with the Canadian CSC?
From what I know it is not possible
But you can do the other way around change the CSC code of you device to the german code by download the app from play store but when you do that it will do a complete data wipe
You can change CSC folders inside a custom rom and then flash .
Or via Root Explorer or Android Commander change the CSC files on the phone itself .
Or you could flash a CSC on its own via Odin if you can find one or make one .

Other than not being able to use ota updates whats wrong with having a miss matched csc? I flashed the UK 4.1.1 on my Canadian 8010 leaving the CSC alone and I have no problems. After that I rooted with Chainfire's Exynos Abuse app so I don't much care about OTA I will just use Odin. If the Canadian 4.1 EVER comes out maybe I will flash it but I don't see much point.
Don't you need the same csc for your region when you are sending the tablet for warranty purposes?
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
There are reports that say it is impossible to revert back to the same CSC even after flashing a ROM that native to your region after flashing the German Rom.

After doing this I have now flashed the UK JB release hoping to match the CSC again but the CSC in KIES is now BGL
It looks like you cant go back to your own region after flashing the German JB on a UK device..

Once you go German, you never go back.

Warranty requires full firmware and CSC to match the phone plus system status not modified and custom rom counter at zero .
Personally CSC is deleted as soon as i have a copy of the original firmware .
Also Kies and OTA stuff and bloatware .

kind of hesitant to flash the german rom since I cant find the rom for my canadian tablet

Are you saying, with the original firmware, you can recover the CSC and return the modified status to normal and the counter to 0?
Even after flashing ROMS from different regions such as the German ROM?

That isn't correct I have installed N-8010 4.1.1 German ROM then N-8000 4.1.2 German ROM, run CSC Select, changed back to N-8010 4.1.1 German ROM, now flashed N-8010 4.1.1 UK and I am back to the correct UK CSC and 'Official'. I have since rooted and set binary counter back to zero. No issues :laugh:

Hope more ppl confirm this great result
We have another person whose CSC stayed the same.
This is good news. Tho we don't know why it changed permanently for others.

I used the German two step method and then overwrote that with the single German JB Rom.
I did get my CSC back to BTU by going back to ICS, factory reset and then KIES updated to JB OTA.
My flash counter still remains at 0 and has never incremented so still never needed to root it.
Ok When you update to JB 4.1.2 it will always say that your device is uptodate on the first boot, to check whether OTA is working or not go to update in settings and manually search for an update if it says no update found it means it is detecting you device if it goes into a loop of searching means it not.
No matter how many times you install a rom or which region rom you install or which version rom you install if it is a stock rom your flash counter will never increase.
It will only increase if you install a custom rom or custom recovery
Some people with the 8013 have seen their flash count increase after installing the official German JB ROM
jeggen said:
So I installed JB the first way and had mentioned here having problems with AllShare Cast Dongle. So I checked my flash count and it showed Custom and a flash count of 2. Per these instructions I installed the complete JB PDA and instead of getting a flash count to 0 now I have a flash count of 4. Here is exactly what my tablet says when I'm in download mode.
Code:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N8013
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (4 Counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

yes it could be because the JB rom is for a different model and hence the system treats it as custom rom, just download triangleaway and reset the counter
Hi The Android Experts,
I'd like to know about flashing using odin 3, can anyone help???
I really interesting in another country firmware, and I found one in thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461580
But one thing I still worry, and I'd like to know,
In this thread there are separated files for PDA, Modem, CSC and Bootloader and I really scare about bootloader said warranty void 1
and I think about just flashing PDA only without CSC and Bootloader. for modem I've flashed XXUCMJ3 and work fine with indonesian CSC and Firmware XXUBMJ1. Now on the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461580 thread there are N900XXUCMJ6_ROOT_ODEX PDA File and I just want to flash that PDA File only, That will be a problem??? or just fine. XXUCMJ6 is for Russia at this time, and is it safe to use with indonesian CSC??? Thanks a lot.
And another question was N900XXUCMJ6_ROOT_ODEX has any changes with kernel?? or still hold the original kernel? and does this Russian XXUCMJ6 Root Odex changed my original indonesian kernel???
Thanks

Hi guys i am starting this thread asking for a bit of help with csc on my n910f.
I have seen a lot of single csc custom roms that i wouldnt mind trying out but i need to have a BTU csc . I asked this question on a custom rom page and he mentioned there are ways to flash a rom without changing current csc but cant find any info on that. I also wondered if its possible that if the rom has a single csc file wpuld i be able to change that file to BTU csc. If any of this is possible can someone be kind enough to help me out please. Thanks in advance.
Maybe this thread can help you.
thanks for reply I have got the btu csc he has done on the post. I cant seem to flash over a single csc custom rom. is there anyway I can put my csc into the rom .zip file and install the rom and my own csc with it?
Can you explain which steps are you following to flash roms?
Clean flash. Start with official fw. Flash twrp recovery and then flash rom. Some of the roms iv been trying to use are single csc roms not multi. Tried phone info app. Obviously cant change csc if its a single csc rom. Tried flash btu csc.tar via odin and reset rom but doesnt change if im using single csc rom. Wondering if i can change the actual csc files in a custom rom to flash my csc with any rom i need to try.
