[REF] Manually change "sales code" (CSC selection) when multi-CSC won't allow you to

[REF] Manually change "sales code" (CSC selection) when multi-CSC won't allow you to
I've recently been getting annoyed with how, whenever I updated a firmware, on first boot the phone would still look for an invalid CSC code, which I had "removed" from the phone.
For example, none of the XEU CSCs currently available will allow you to change to / from XEU as those CSCs don't include other options. ... so if you've manually set your CSC to XEE using the *#272*IMEI# trick; there's no way to get back to XEU.
The solution is as follows: (yes, you need root)
1) Ensure the product code in your nvram.bin file is set how you want it, in this case XEU. (it's in the file twice, once on it's own and once at the end of the "I9100LKA" string. Both those should be at the end of line 215 of the file)
2) (and this is the new bit) - there's another file on the phone which stores the "Sales Code" - its the file that tells the phone what CSC to look for on first boot after flashing a firmware. This file doesn't change unless you can successfully use the *#272*IMEI# trick!
2a) Using a file browser that has root privileges, navigate to /efs/imei/ then look for the file "mps_code.dat"
2b) Open this file as a text document (making sure you're mounted R/W) and edit the string to whatever you want (in this case XEU). Note, you should only put in the 3 letter code, not the rest of the product code.
2c) Save the file and reboot the phone. Hey presto you're on a different CSC!
(and I *think* this trick works to change CSC (without actually installing one, obviously), without wiping the /data partition.

wow great work

ok maybe it's just me but I cannot locate the nvram.bin file anywhere????
I'm on ke7 cf rooted and using script manager to browse system, could u direct me pls as I am running around in circles here.
I found efs/imei and that is xeu but i'm stuck on abr somewhere and it's causing me a few probs.

what and where is this "nvram.bin" file ? thanks

With all due respect sir..yes I have root..but still can't locate the nvram.bin file. I found the rest but as per my understanding is...I need to change the value in the nvram.bin file aswell to make all this work.
Thanks again for all the help.

My method on SGS1 was to use custom rom from rom kitchen open that and just change the required CSC folder and files with new folder and files zip back up and install .
Does not work yet on SGS 2 due to being unable to rezip and install custom roms .
Work around has just been to copy the relevant \CSC folder and two CSC files + SW conf file to phone deleting originals . Files have been ripped from original firmware nandroid backup .
Factory reset and all changed .

Ok dokie...thanks for the explanation.

No, because there is no "nvram.bin" inside the latest (-> KE2, KE7, KF1) stock firmwares!
And changing only "mps_code.dat" won't do the trick as this will only create a new "nv_data.bin" after next reboot.
And if you would delete this new "nv_data.bin" (hoping that the files will be recreated/replaced at next reboot, this worked with SGS like this) you will end up with NO ProductCode and an fake IMEI too! So you should be VERY careful modding anything inside of /efs!

I edited the nv data.bin as well from KOR to BTU is this not a wise thing to do on GS3?

it already has HD voice - just that it is network dependent!

Yeah I had HD Voice enabled with Telstra but since I flashed the stock LG8 ROM, the feature is disabled. Only currently works with Telstra's ROM and the stock XSA (unbranded aus) ROM. Call quality is superb when your speaking to someone else with HD Voice enabled.
Hopefully this means we can enable it with future stock UK firmware as well.

Wish i had known how to do this, had made a few posts on various forums and no-one had a clue what i was on about apart from one poster on here who i couldnt pm. I was on stock Three firmware and when i flashed to latest UK unbranded, the HD voice feature was removed.
I contacted Samsung who said they would open a case for me but the advisor i spoke to asked me what HD Voice was and as soon as i mentioned WB-AMR he didnt have a clue. Needless to say i wont hold out much hope. It should be automatically set to on and it isnt which is a big bugbear of mines.

I have it on the mine in the UK on T Mobile. haven't checked my latest firmware though

Hi,
I tried this but the change does not take place.
I'm using the Custom Omega Rom - latest build - but it will not let me change/update the CSC.
When I replace the files and do the *#272 thing - there are no other CSC's listed.
I then test to see if WB-AMR is enables and its not...
What am I doing wrong, have reverted back to stock rom for time being...
Is it possible to use another CSC file with the OMEGA rom? I tried flashing the CSC file via odin and still wont work.
Please help

Are you sure that your carrier support WB-AMR?
Some CSC are a little bit tricky...
Post a link to what you have extracted from your stock carrier rom (CSC folder + SWconfiguration file) and I will try to find what could be done to make it work...

SO it is a "straight" CSC and this is why the *#272* thing does not work
try that:
-make a backup of your app and data
-erase all files in your CSC folder on your phone
-put the files extracted from your CSC carrier rom in this empty CSC folder
-put SW_configuration to /system folder on your phone
-restart in recovery
-make a factory reset (will erase your data and app so that is why I ask you to make a backup) from recovery
-restart your phone
WARNING: I know nothing about omega rom (I am still on full stock...) so no guarantee that it will work. there is a risk that you will have to reflash your rom if it does not work properly but there is no risk to brick your phone

Glad that it works for you.
Only drawback: you will have to do this each time you flash a new rom that change the CSC...

Why the heck isnt HD Voice enabled by default? I know not all networks support it but surely even if it was on then the network that doesnt support it just wouldnt be able to use it. Madness.

[GUIDE]How to change your region.

Always make a backup before changing / on your device!
Q. What is this?
A. A way to change your region. More manufacturers in QRemote, Russian/Greek/etc T9 in dialer, working 4G, no wifi frequency restrictions and more.
Q. Will it get me OTA's of the region i changed to?
A. No.
Q. Is there any easier method, one that does not require root, perhaps?
A. I don't know one.
Boring technical details:
Latest firmwares do not "belong" to region. Instead, they adapt to phone's own region. The check is done at each boot, settings are applied after build.prop.
The detection uses combination of operator code and country code (2 bytes, numbering convention unknown. In LG's documents it's referred to as "BUYER").
LG determines phone's region by looking into the "misc" partition, at addresses 0000A000-0000A020.
Information at them looks like this:
Code:
"1","FFF,FFF,FFFFFFFF,FFFFFFFF,12"
, where "12" is country code.
We can change it ourselves by using hex editor on a dumped image.
The regional parameters reside in /cust/ folder. The file "/cust/cust_path_mapping.cfg" maps "{operator_code},{country_code}" to a folder where it's parameters reside.
Note: some countries (FRA, for example) or some operators don't have their own folder in /cust/. They use 11 (OPEN_EU) as NT code, and identify themselves based on some other info I've yet to find.
Example of cust_path_mapping.cfg content:
Code:
20810,FF=/cust/VDF_COM/FR
20810,01=/cust/VDF_COM/LPM
Explanation: Vodafone in any country but 01 will use "/cust/VDF_COM/FR", while Vodafone in "01" country will use "/cust/VDF_COM/LPM". Notice theirs relative positions. This means that only the most exact match is used, and creating "FFFFFF,FF=/cust/XDA" key won't point the phone towards XDA folder.
By changing this file - or changing the contents of the folder your "operator,country" combo is pointing to - you can change your phone's region to anything you want.
There is also a "/cust/cust.prop" file. It contains fallback to defaults, if phone was unable to determine needed folder, or it didn't exist, it uses "/cust/SUPERSET/".
! In 5.0 firmwares, annoying message stating that "current version not avaliable for user" shows up if the above happens.
The folders in /cust/ hold operator/country settings. LG named them this way: "OPERATOR_COUNTRY". There are 2 special values - OPEN for operator - which means any operator, COM for country - which means any country.
OPEN_XXX hold parameters for specific country. These folders may contain subfolders with parameters for smaller operators which operate only inside this country.
Example: OPEN_ZA, which contains folders for MTN and VDC operators.
XXX_COM contain parameters for specific operator. These folders may contain subfolders with parameters for specific countries.
Example: /VDF_COM is intended for Vodafone. It contains folders FR and LPM, which are intended for France and LPM (?).
{OPERATOR_COUNTRY} folders are intended for 1 combination of operator and country, they should not contain subfolders with settings for other operators/countries.
Example: PCL_IL, contains settings for one of Israel operators.
The method itself:
1) Install Busybox.
1) Look at /cust/cust_path_mapping.cfg and choose some region's code. The folder names are usually self-explanatory, and you can always look into /cust/{folder}/cust.prop to see to what ro.build.target_operator, ro.build.target_country and ro.build.target_region variables are set.
2) Execute the below code, replacing "\x31\x32" in "echo -n '\x31\x32'" with your chosen code. Examples: "\x35\x36" is 56 region, "\x37\x33" is 73 region and so on.
First line backs up your "misc" partition to /sdcard/misc.bin, you should copy this file to safe storage.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc of=/sdcard/misc.bin
echo -n '\x31\x32' | /system/xbin/dd of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc bs=1 seek=40991 count=2 conv=notrunc
reboot
Why did i use busybox's dd? Because in LG's 5.0 default dd was compiled without conv option...
Enjoy your new region!
Other methods:
Method 1: substitution.
Step 1: Find out which country your phone was meant to use ("Settings->About Phone-> Software" ). Find your current operator code. Using these, find currently used folder in /cust/. You can get to know folder's region by looking on it's name, or opening the {folder}/cust.prop file and looking at these keys:
Code:
ro.build.target_operator
ro.build.target_country
ro.build.target_region
They are pretty self-explanatory.
Step 2: Replace the folder's content with content from the region you want to change to.
Step 3: Reboot and be happy!
Method 2: via editing "misc" partition.
Be extra careful with "misc". This partition is unique for every phone. If it's damaged or wiped, things may get ugly.
I do not know a way of regenerating "misc", since it contains your bluetooth/wifi mac's and IMEI. AFAIK, It is only used for displaying that info in Android and for LG's updates - so you won't lose bluetooth/wifi/mobile data, but still...
Since it's also used for updates, PC suite and "ota updater" won't be able to update your phone anymore if this partition is damaged.
It may also have uses which we don't know about. Make a backup, save it to several clouds and 2-3 offline storages.
Do not proceed if you don't know what "hex editor", "backup" and "partition dump" are.
1) Grab misc with "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc of=/sdcard/misc.bin".
2) Open misc.bin in any hex editor, go to address "0000A000" and look for this:
Code:
"1","FFF,FFF,FFFFFFFF,FFFFFFFF,12"
Change "12" or whatever number you have there to the one that you need. You can look into cust_path_mapping.cfg to determine it. Save the result to a new file, name it "misc_edited.bin".
3) Replace your misc with edited one: "dd if=/sdcard/misc_edited.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc".
4) Reboot.
I have no idea about how PC suite and others will react to IMEI and country code mismatch. They probably won't care, but we don't know it for sure.
Method 3:
Warning, in 5.0 this will cause the annoying "Current version not avaliable for user!" message to show up at each boot.
1) Backup your rom and /cust/ folder.
2) In /cust/cust_path_mapping.cfg delete all lines except
Code:
999999,99=/cust/SUPERSET
.
3) Copy everything from /cust/{Your_desired_region} to /cust/SUPERSET.
4) Reboot.

Hi, thanks very much for this write up. I'm still a bit confused as to how to actually do this - and I'm thinking others might be as well since there haven't been any responses. Would you mind walking me through how to change the region for a phone purchased in HK? I would like to change it to the EUR region.
Would I open the cust.prop file within the HK folder and change the values for the three variables above to match the ones found in the cust.prop file within the EU folder?
Thanks.

It would be better to change /cust/cust_path_mapping.cfg file. Open it, find the line "FFFFFF,54=/cust/OPEN_HK", change it to "FFFFFF,54=/cust/OPEN_EU" and reboot.

I'm using a custom based off a version that doesn't have my cust (SEA) so mine reverts to the default. I'm in the uk.
Other than having to delete the ltesettings apk I haven't noticed any problems. Do you think I would notice anything if I change the mapping to point at EU it would improve anything?

Nice write-up, very detailed. This seems very specific, do you know why you would want to do this? A scenario maybe?

No, i don't think that you'll notice anything. You'll get more manufacturers in qremote and other very minor features.

Why you may want to change region:
1) QRemote contains a lot more manufacturers if ro.build.target_region is set to ESA. Since /cust/ is applied after build.prop, you'll have to edit it.
For example, in CIS region Western Digital is absent. It is officially sold here in Russia, there is no embargo or whatever. LG just decided that Russians doesn't have the right to control "WD TV live" using QRemote. Nice.
2) Dialer - there are special dialer overlays with letters used in specific regions. For CIS it contains cyrillic letters, for Greece it contains Greek letters, and so on.
3) Featureset.xml also depends on region. It contains miscellaneous settings, like the ability to send empty sms.
4) There are a lot more overlays for other apps. Voicemate, etc. Nothing major, but this can change in future.
P.S. I updated first post with info about misc partition.

No, until files have been exposed to non-posix filesystem and lost their permissions, or you've changed them manually.
Default permissions for /cust/ are 755 with root/root as owner/group.

Ok.
In /cust/SUPERSET There is already a "cust.prop" file should i replace that one with the cust.prop from my OPEN_XX folder?
Is there a risk to loose/get blocked IMEI in this way we change region?

Yes, you should replace it.
It is highly unlikely that you will lose IMEI. However, i ask everyone to make a full nandroid backup, efs included, before you do anything to your phone.
As for the blocking... Why would your service provider care enough to blacklist your IMEI? Unless it is forbidden by local laws or service contract, manipulating files on your phone is perfectly legal.

When I copy Dsm files I have to delete all existing files before? Or I have to keep them all together the new ones?

you havn't enough sys space

[GUIDE]a6020l36 Official Lenovo Andoid 6.0.1 (S155) for others a6020

Hello all a6020a46 users like me.
I have here a way to update the phone to S155, the official Lenovo update for Android M (6.0.1), which is only released in some countries in South America. Although I'm on Brazil, my version is not the a6020l36, but the a6020a46.
It's all pretty simple to do and you can do from any ROM, but I recommend that you be on the last available stock (I made it from AEX 4.1 and had no problems). Everything will be done from a backup made by TWRP
Tutorial:
1- Download the backup here: Android File Host
Or here: MediaFire
2- Unzip somewhere and copy to root of any storage.
p.s. If you have any saved updates, copy the TWRP folder from your mobile phone to somewhere on your PC and delete it before copying TWRP from the update.
3- Enter Recovery mode and make a Full-Wipe (Be careful not to delete the partition where the backup is saved).
4- Go Restore and select the update (1970-06-18--19-03-18 ...) and select ONLY Boot and System. Deselect all and select Boot and System only.
SELECT ONLY BOOT AND SYSTEM!!!!
5- System reboot.
p.s. If the phone takes too long to start, remove the battery for some time and try again, I had to do this.
I hope it works for everyone as it worked for me. It had few changes in the interface, but had many bugs solved. I recommend to test and see for yourself.
None of this would be possible if Aleph Scalioni had not backed up the update for us.
So, thank you very much Aleph Scalioni :highfive:
Forgive me for any mistake

Probably not. It is available only in Portuguese, Spanish and English.
Since it was only launched for countries with these languages, and English for being universal (?).

Why lenovo update only a new version for brazil ?
This version work with european models, just ad language and all is good with ...vibe k5

This update is for a6020a46 or A6020I36, in other thread So they say??

Does this work with a6020a40 720p 2gb variant ?

Yes yes yes it.s my phone too, but all language it's not present
When you select backup twrp, select all but firmware, reboot phone and wait, if your phone not boot ...open batterie and reboot and all is good.

Volte is available here?

Does this method works on a6020a46 3GB variant???

I think your 2nd step is wrong we have to unzip it in the TWRP folder which is under sdcard1 (or sdcard0).....

No, inside the compressed file is the TWRP folder. It should be placed directly on the root of internal or external storage. Putting it inside the TWRP folder you will get TWRP/TWRP/Backup/... and TWRP will not recognize it.

You need to rename the folder inside the backup to match your phone "serial" (make other backup and copy the code) , so twrp can see the backup.
If this works hit that thanks button:good:
@MaxPresi I think you forgot to mention that this ROM doesn't support VoLTE..

1 . Create a minimal backup
2. Replace the files on your backup (the final folder, where the individual files are) with the files from backup you've downloaded
3. Install ONLY system and boot [installing firmware will result in error]
