Mix and Match stock firmware files? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Basically I'm wondering if I can download the latest Stock Firmware from Sammobile and then also my carriers firmware.
Unzip them both and replace the latest firmwares hidden.img and cache.img with that of my carriers?
Then make .Tar again and flash?
I like the latest firmware but my carrier (2Degrees) is still on MDE!!
I need the CSC from 2Degrees firmware so I can use a payment method we have over here called Snapper.
Thanks!

Hey
I think yes you can do it with no problems. But wait for a confirmation from more experiment users.

[Q] Orange (FTM) ML3 4.3 to (DBT) MB7 4.4.2

Hi ive got a couple of questions. Currently im on Orange France ML3 4.3 FTM csc full stock and i want to flash 4.4.2 NB7 DBT but i would like the csc to change to DBT so i can continue receive OTA updates and be recognised by Kies, so here are my questions:
1) Will Odin give me SUCCESS or FAIL ?
2) Do i have to flash it with .pit file?
3) Will the CSC change to DBT after i wipe/factory reset?
Thanks in advance

Confused need a PIT file

Hey guys
I'm confused - I need a pit file so I can flash my unbranded uk 32gb note 3 with the Vodafone uk lollipop rom - can anyone link me to the correct file please? Ive seen a couple of pit files but there's no explanation as to which rom they are for?
Cheers
Andy

Pit files are for base firmware and phone. You need a Lollipop PIT (I presume) for the N9005. And the best .pit is your own .pit which you can pull with adb.
And remember that .pit rhymes with s**t because USE PIT ONLY IN CASE S**T.
If you're on Lollipop already, you don't need a .pit and repartitioning, just Odin the Vodafone firmware.
So are you saying flash the unbranded polish rom first for lollipop as I'm currently on kit kat then flash the Vodafone lollipop after that? That doesn't make sense? I thought unbranded and branded devices had different partition sizes or am.i confused? Cheers Andy
You should probably have quoted your original post. It would've made things much clearer.
He's getting a size error in ODIN on flashing the branded ROM.
From what I've seen over the course of several updates where people had the same issue, that requires a pit file.
Some branded versions have a size difference, particularly between countries. UK Vodafone and BTU can usually be used interchangeably, because they're developed by the same local Samsung team. But trying a branded rom over a foreign unbranded ROM occasionally results in a filesize error when it concerns new Android versions.
The Note 3 had the same issue with DBT 4.4 over XEO. (which, interestingly, are both unbranded.)

So do you think I could go from kit kat uk btu to lollipop Vodafone? Or will a pit file be required - if I can find one?

[Help] galaxy s4 m919 firmware

assalamo alaykom
Hey guys
i want to ask if i can flash stock t-mobile s4 m919 firmware with international s4 i9500 or i9505 firmware?
thanks [emoji4] [emoji106]

You unfortunately cannot install a different model's firmware on your device. Odin will reject the firmware and the process will fail.
thank you for answering
but my friend bay a phone in download mode model m919 and in bake of battery model i9500
and in bout phone model i9500
how?

The seller sold your friend a Frankenphone I see. To change the model number in the ROM itself is a trivial task requiring nothing more than a text editor and root access to the build.prop file.
For the record, the model in download mode is the correct one.

Go back to 928F from converting to 928C

Hey guys.
I follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/general/how-to-android-6-0-1-sm-g928f-t3324523 to get the MM update, and flashed the PIT file with it.
I would like to know what i have to do to go back to 928F besides flashing the rom through odin (I will be flashing Poland rom, XEO)
Thank you
Guys?

Which pit file have you used?

Use the European pit file which u used while flashing 928C rom....but don't select the nand erase and f.reset..
I did the same and using it with no problems
Oh what a pity you should have selected nand erase and f.reset, but as far as I know it's mandatory, however you can try to flash a stock 928F rom through Odin, just check only f.reset time

My bad....I mean it is not required to select repartition and nand erase if you have already used 928F pit while flashing 928C rom..
Just select 928F rom, select 928F pit file which u used previously and you should be fine...
If you don't select pit file, 928F rom will fail to install
It worked for me...

You don't need to select European pit file that you used, as the 928F stock firmware already include it...

Well, I flashed Poland MM and still have United Arabs showing up, although title now shows 928F instead of 928C.
Which PIT should I flash so it goes away?
Should I flash OXA on top of it?
I don't know if PIT changes from lollipop to MM
Well. Flashed OXA PIT and 928f Poland MM. I'm good now.
Thank you for your troubles.

You should try with c first. Via Odin. Also you should probably skip nougat entirely and just install my Oreo ROM unless you want stock. It's in the android development section.

7.0 Nougat-Volte-8.0 Oreo problem

Hey guys,
I did the volte trick on nougat but now I can't get the Oreo update. Is there any kind of fix for that?
Hello. Use odin to flash the Oreo firmware with home_CSC to keep your datas [emoji106]

Or flash back original home csc with odin , do the oreo OTA and flash s7/s8 csc of your choice again
