Stock la4 is german - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Hi just thought id help u guys who have upgraded your firmware to the newest stock la4 from the android developement section..
Which means u have to change ur country sales code (csc) to DBT which is the german csc.
After u have done that then u will be able to upgrade ur phone trough kies when the next update will be available.
If u dont have the right csc kies will say that it doesnt support ur phone..
I used the sgs csc selector which is available at the market and it worked fine for me!

Thanks for the Info.
I did install a stock rom but it was different to the country sales code i had.
Therefore Kies came up with the error message like you stated.
I am going to use that app now.

Only got the one csc showing can't change it however.. Any other ideas without root etc?

What I don't get is why the German released Note's are getting all the updates but no updates at all are being pushed out to certain other regions. I have a black German note which is updated now to the latest LA4 but my white Portuguese Note is still on KK5 and says no updates are available OTA.

does changing the Csc perform a master reset?
I have read in another thread that if you do change the CSC it will perform a master reset.

Portuguese note here, also stuck on kk5.... :-/

@HasC
That's correct. It's better to use Odin PC since it won't do a factory reset since the only thing it'll do is upgrading. And no, it won't affect the binary counter.
Just download LA4 and Odin from here and follow the steps in the second post.
Briefly told the only steps are:
- Download LA4
- Open Odin
- Hit "PDA" and choose the md5-file
- Press "Start"
- Wait
- Done
If you're rooted and still want to be rooted when you upgrade to LA4, flash LA4 from the device itself using CWM or Odin Mobile

LordManhattan: how about if you just want to change the CSC? i'm on a stock LA4 rooted..

Btw, Never ever flash a custom ROM using Odin PC. If you do that the binary counter will get touched. For example, if you want to flash Rocket ROM or CM9 or whatever, always flash it from the device itself.
Only use Odin PC when you want to flash a stock ROM like LA4 and stuff like that.
If you want to keep root, then always flash directly from the device. Not Odin PC.

Thanks for that, but I have already flashed to LA4 and was going to change the CSC to the German one if it meant that using the OP's app suggestion meant not having to do a master reset.

Then it'll perform a factory reset and delete everything on the phone (except the things on the SD card)

master reset
yes it will reset ur phone but the google account will retrieve all ur downloaded softwares for u..
there have been a lot of talk about the german roms and apparently they always seem to get the updates first thats why i changed my scandinavian rom to stock german la4 hopeful of getting the next updates as soon as possible..
lordmanhattan thanks for the info, i have personally been avoiding using odin at all because of the counter, are u sure it wont count the stock flashing?
heard anything about counter reset developement is it near finish or available already?

Odin is safe to use as long as you only flash stock ROMs. It won't touch the binary counter, but it will do it if you flash a custom ROM with Odin. If you want to flash a custom ROM, use CWM or Odin Mobile from the Market.

This is How i updated the indian galaxy s2 firmware to 2.3.5 through KIES

1.flash the kernel from secure to insecure through ODIN
2.root the OS with S2Root_1.5.1
3.reflashed with original kernel to remove yellow icon while booting(optional)
Referred the instructions in this post for previous steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
4.Install Spooffw from market( it requires root access.the reason why we root before doing this)
5.Open Spooffw app and select Nordic region preset ,follow the steps in that app (which change the phones internal files to make it look like its from Nordic countries)
6.Connect to PC ->Open KIES found that it shows 2.3.5 XXKI4 update is available .
7.upgrade the firmware.
But i lost the root access . Gotta root again (follow first three steps) if i need root access again
Why not flash 2.3.5 using Odin? Alot less steps and twice as quick.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Thanks for mentioning that app. I'll follow that method next time I wanna upgrade.
PS- Changing the region won't delete my data, right?
No, Kies does not wipe data.
Can anyone else confirm?

Note that, You will have to do the same when Official Indina version gets released !!!
Steps you did will update your model id ... which makes is diificult to get official version from Kies ... So in order to restore that footprint you will have to again update your Model ID with SpoofFW...
I tried this a lot with My Galaxy S....
I would simply prefer ODIN method ... and You can easily detect if ROM you are about to flash will Wipe or Not. ...
1) Single File , No Wipe
2) 3 Files , Full Wipe.

You should not do that ... Dont know , What will two files do !!!
But When you flash new ROM, theses two points can detect Wiping... ROM Will never have two files ... !
Flashing two files might work or might not work ! ... Normally PDA holds Wipe details ... if i am wrong.

Why? Titanium backup Rox.
Dude, whats the point in updating to XXKI4 via kies? , ITs still an european firmware. also its already available here in our forums, you can simply flash it via mobile odin.
I guess it makes sense in one way: for someone who wants the latest "Indian" firmware via Kies but can't get it because he/she flashed a firmware via ODIN before.
Of course, this is assuming folks in India will actually get an updated firmware soon :-D
Basically the SpoofFW app enables Kies to recognize your firmware as something that is upgradeable. Not particularly useful for most of us on XDA, but great if someone wants to stop screwing around with flashing firmwares and go back to Kies-enabled stock.
the app using an spoofing is easy an i had done it for sgs1 but had to reverse it wen official fw arrieved...an odin dint wipe my data (untick the partition)but some fw did wipe my data....i say odin is good an fast..dont exp wiv sgs2...but u got a no of custum roms to flash....cheeerz

Hi everyone, i encounter a problem earlier. Basically i rooted my phone days ago and i m still using stock rom without flashing custom roms. So i eager to try out the mod from Omega thread and install the Omega file from google play. After downloaded the mod (for omega rom) of scrolling wallpaper for TW and i flashed it. Booting up my phone with TW not responding, force close. Try again and again still cant boot into menu. I know i m stupid that didn't do a NAND backup before flashing it, and now i m stuck at this force close thing. So i found out out there there is a stock official rom XXUBMEA, i was previously from XXUAME2, can i flash this rom with odin?What is the complete process i need to do to flash this stock rom?

It will not delete the setting apps data etc since u are flashing with odin
However after flashing u make whatever data backup u need and reset the device completely so that the csc will match the new firmware and will work with kies

If you like to use Kies instead of Odin then you can disconnect your USB cable (phone) and go to Tools>Firmware Upgrade and Initialization and follow the instructions. You'll need to enter model number (case sensitive) like GT-I9500 and your mobile's serial number (from Settings>About Device).

Just let it be. When you open ODIN then it will have only 2 ticks. Dont tick more then that. Then select PDA (i.e. .tar) file & Press Start. Don't unplug the device until you get clear Ext button.
Note: Do check whether your Mobile has been detected by ODIN (A Green column will be highlighted in left upper corner).

No, this is actually a fail-safe way to upgrade your firmware in case the automatic Kies updater fails. You'll get to a step where you'll choose to factory reset or not, and you can always back up and restore data from Kies (you can back up before the whole upgrade process).
Odin is good, though. Basically the same thing. If you flash official ROM then your phone status will stay "Official" but the flash counter may increase. Kies method is official and will not threaten your warranty.

Thanks very much mate! For your valuable information the kies is very bad... it tooks me 1.5 hour per season. .. I tried 2 times to upgrade my s4 but still not successful. Hmmm
I will definitely try download and flash it using ODIN. Sorry if I'm writing too much because I am absolutely noob to Samsung device.
One more thing? Its that the phone recovery in the kies are reliable? In case of brick or something how can I revive it.

If you are rooted use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and after that go straight to download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin. After the flash do a data factory reset and you have the phone as you initialy got it

How to use Odin see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414.
Samsung oficial firmware see www.sammobile.com/firmware, you have to register first before you can download!
After this you are full stock if you flash the rom of your country/region and you will receive all OTA`s again.

Have you got the correct drivers installed by Kies? Tried another usb port (no hub)? Are you using the original usb cable?

How to use Odin see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414.
Samsung oficial firmware see www.sammobile.com/firmware, you have to register first before you can download!
After this you are full stock if you flash the rom of your country/region and you will receive all OTA`s again.

Its not as hard as it seems to use Odin:
1. Close Kies, also in windows task manager!
2. Enable usb debugging on the phone.
3. Open Odin 3.04 as administrator
4. Place the downloaded rom that is unzipped ONCE and shows a .md5 file in PDA
5. Phone in downloadmode (after you used to reset the flash counter with Triangle Away)
6. Connect the phone with usb to Odin (IDCOM should light up and show a com number)
7. Press start and flash the rom.
Reboot and data factory reset in settings/accounts/reset
Done
Best answer.. easy to understand.. thanksss

BTW sir,.. i cant find any model of Samsung galaxy s4 GTi9505
can u help me to find th original firmwares?
You can try this rom with odin
http://samsung-updates.com/details/12205/Galaxy_S_4_Snapdragon/GT-I9505/XEF/I9505XXUBMGA.html
it's the last official rom from France. the only issue if it's not the right region code for your country is to had just issue with carrier network
why i choose the link from france ? cauz no specific region code for turkey and france is close to france (in geographical situation).
but if you remind the region code of your first stock rom i can try to find a link for the it
this is the easiest way to unroot and go back to stock and official galaxy s4 with TW.
follow this simple guide .

You can use this app to change your CSC. However, two things.
A. You need to be rooted beyond XXELLA
B. Your selected rom needs to support multi csc
( tried that before but doesn't work as its unrooted and on stock software

It should work, but you need to root if you're on XXELLA or above
Sorry not that much of a techie :silly: what is XXELLA? So it doesn't need to be rooted? Because when i press change CSC it comes up with com.android.preconfig not found on your device and takes me to the dialer with *#272*1759# already punched in?? After ringing that I get Connection problem or invalid MMI code.

Xxella would be a 4.1.2 firmware.
It would look like your stock setup doesn't have a multi CSC setup so I'm not sure if you're able to change to BTU

if I am not wrong you need:
(1) be rooted to change the CSC
(2) after that you can use the tool mentioned before and/or flash a BTU rom
or maybe easier:
just flash the newest 4.3 rom version (you can do this without root as well I think)
Flash the latest 4.3 rom for the UK, using odin and following the guide in sticky thread.
Factory reset from recovery, reboot and csc should match the firmware.

Download the latest 4.3 for UK - which would be - I9300XXUGMK6. Then follow instructions in the first post

I'm pretty sure this method will default the CSC to "KOR"
You want to flash the ELL4 U.K. firmware from the stock firmware thread. Download the S2/S3 CSC changer app from the play store and set the CSC to BTU.
This will factory reset the device, so make sure you have your important files backed up.
Then proceed to flash MK6 4.3. Now everything will match.

If you flash a untouched 4.3 rom thru odin it does not void the warranty. It will read official in Odin. At least on my phone it did. Like they said earlier they should have a uk version floating around somewhere. Otherwise just leave it alone and wait for the update. I hope that helps
