Hi Guys,
I originally asked this in the ROM's thread, over here
But i didn't get any answer, at all, so i was hoping someone here could clear the questing up for me.
Everything on the Custom CWM Flashable ROM matches my existing software verson apart from the CSC as found by *#1234# .
Will this be OK or will this brick my device? Any help would be really appreciated, i know there's someone out there that can help me out.
All the searching I've done on CSC's just tells me the differences not the consequences.
I live in the UK and i'm on O2, just need to know if the ROM will work?
Thanks in advance!
from my experience about my older samsung devices galaxy tab and note 1 it cause only factory reset your phone but don't know if knox thing change something about csc too.

Hi everyone
I bought my tab from germany it is T mobile and i can make phone calls using other carriers so it is not locked. the firmware i have is the following:
PDA=P1000BOJJ2
PHONE=P1000XXJID
CSC=P1000DTMJJ4
Should i update to the eurofirmware as it is called ?Is the eurofirmware samsung's official update? what advantages will my tab get?
I will appreciate any help on this .
Thank u
If everything works, don't change anything, unless flashing roms and tweaking settings is your hobby. It's my disease.
I got my Note from Expansys.ca few weeks ago. I rooted my Note and wants to update it and keep it rooted. What firmware should I download?
PCode:GT-N7000RWAXEU
PDA:N7000XXKKA
PHONE:N7000XXKK5
CSC: N7000XEUKK3
and where can i download the latest firmware? Thanks
I would suggest the EU in your code says its a european rom, therefore id us an open europe from samfirmware or indeed from here.
It doesnt matter to be honest, all the roms are virtually the same, just some are tailored for different networks, im assuming yours is an unlocked Note, so any rom will work fine, all roms regardless of country also have the english language, so go ahead, download and flash, its no big issue what stock rom you use.
If you decide to go custom, PLEASE be aware that guides are on here for a reason, familiarise yourself with the process completely, so many people dont bother to read the posted guides and wind up in big trouble.
Please do some searching in the Note forums.. everything you ask has been asked 100 times before..

Hello all,
I just inherited a Samsung GT-S5360L phone from my father and i wanted to try some roms. Some of the available roms seem pretty cool, but i have noticed a small detail, my phone model ends with an L, and the roms available dont.
This is probably because my cellphone is a southamerican model. So, My main question is, what should i check before flashing a rom into my S5360L in order to avoid problems?
I am mainly worried about loosing the 3G signal (or the whole phone signal) if i flash an incorrect rom. I read some posts that said that i should use a specic CSC.
Can anyone explain to me a litle more about this? Do i need to flash the ROM and my original CSC files in order for the rom to work with my operators, or the process is different?
Thanks in advance.
Solution!
Sir,
You must have bought your Galaxy Y with some Carrier! That why it end with a "L", But that does not matter! To prevent bricking ur phone just follow the correct installation instruction.. If you brick your GY there is a guide in the general section to restore back! Make a Nandroid Backup first of all and then Flash GT-S5360 Firmware (The one preferred in the Rom's installation guide I hope this helps! As much as I know, all roms will work :laugh::fingers-crossed:

to ensure installation success please download "Galaxy Toolbox" by doky in the playstore and unlock your network (if it is sim/carrier locked)
then follow all instructions provided by the rom authors to ensure success,
if in case all else fails just reflash to a stock rom via odin, not to worry since any stock rom will do
thanks for the information guys. I know any rom should work, i do it in mi LG Optimus2x but i had a samsung phone before (galaxy spica) and i had some troubles after flashing some custom roms, where i would only be able to have 2G signal and not 3G, or in some cases have no connectivity at all. I will give some roms a try and see how everyhting goes (and do a backup first, hehehe).
thanks again.
Hi everybody,
I got a little problem that I can't solve myself.
I have a new Note 3 (N900), bought at Bangkok Airport by a friend. But the language German, that she likes to use is not installed. So she asked me to switch the language to german. I tried some locale apps from play store, but that didn't helped. Is it possible to install an additional localization?
I tried the search here and informed myself about custom roms, odin, root etc. but have never rooted a device nor installed a custom rom. It is difficult for a beginner to find the right way and the right roms, even not sure if there is one.
Btw, there seems to be no region lock, because I tried a german SIM card and it worked.
I found the following information on the package: SM-N9000ZKETHL.
More information? See attached screenshot.
Can anyone help me?
Best regards,
wiciba

My suggestion would be to ROOT the device, install TWPR and load the carrier ROM specific for Germany. Once loaded, go into the regional settings for the carrier ROM and select the 3 digit acronym for your German carrier. You can use my link as a basis but will need to consult with some of the seasoned experts on here with regards to the best ROM to use.

Just use Odin and install any official European ROM for the SM-N900. No need for rooting and custom Recovery because that's gonna void ur warranty.

Thanks for your hint. But which is the right Odin version? When I open all versions in the Odin thread there is no version for the N900. Is it safe to use the latest version?
So, on the SamMobile site I found the two possible firmwares for the device. One for N900, but without Germany in the Country list. And the firmware for N9005, which is the available version in Germany. But is it really safe to flash the N900 (Exynos) with the N9005 firmware (Snapdragon)? I have read somewhere about incompatabilities between these two which can cause damage to the device. I don't want to brick it.

Thanks for that. At the moment I am convinced that I can't do anything without rooting. Unfortunately there is no German carrier (should be DBT) for the N900, only for N9005.
With your link I found two ways to root the N3, one by chainfire and one by designgears. Chainfires way could work and provides an ODIN version to root the N900 (Exynos), but will trip the KNOX counter and void the warranty. designgears way does not support Exynos at the moment. So I think, I'm stuck at the moment. Or void my warranty.
Do you agree?

You will need to void the warranty and install the proper ROM onto the device which supports the features you require. I do not see any alternative at this point and since you bought in Bangkok (or at this airport), are you really concerned about voiding a warranty? It would cost more to enact on this warranty based on the location of purchase than it would to buy a new device from your home area.
You can root your device using the guide I provided to you in a previous link but make sure to replace the downloadable files with those which support your device. Should you require assistance, let me know and I'll help where possible.
Hope this helps!
I discussed this with the device owner and she decided to wait for a root way for Exynos devices.
So, I will follow this forum and hopefully the talented developers here will find a solution in the near future.
I will then report.
Meanwhile I learned that the Exynos model seems to have no Knox counter. When I boot in Odin mode I got only three information .
Now I have rooted it with CF auto root and the status changed .
Does this void the warranty?
German for N900?
I have a N900 from Thailand too and would like to have German language too.
Does anyone know if there is a custom firmware in German available or any other way to go...
All stock firmware seems not to provide German.
I rooted my Phone already.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi, I live in China but am not Chinese and have inherited a 14mth old Note3 SM-N9008 from my wife, who is Chinese. Just wanted to clarify this point as a lot of other posters with an SM-N9008 have been shot down for having one instead of getting a model relative to where they live
OK, with that out of the way, I have no issues with voiding the warranty as it's gone anyway (14 mth old).
My key question is after reading the "how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones" (sorry cannot include the offsite link being new here) topic, and perhaps my understanding is wrong and so please correct me if I am, if I change the PDA, PHONE and CSC codes to match correctly to another locale NOT China (eg UK), then I am a) basically changing my 9008 to a 9005 in principle & b) my 9008 will accept ROM's for a 9005 and work fine.
Or is this 'trick' of manipulating these codes to give a new locale only for the purpose of if you have a 9005 in Chile which has not uploaded a new Stock ROM but say Spain has, I make my 9005 look like it is now from Spain and will therefore be able to get the new 9005 Stock ROM?
I have only ever rooted and applied another Stock ROM to one other mobile device before, about 2 years or more ago, which was a Chinese model of the Note 10.1 and it's worked perfectly fine in all that time on the Intl Stock ROM - except for updates online which I don't do (I do manual app updates where required) because the updates give me the Chinese version due to the CSC etc not being changed and so thinking I am Chinese.
Has anyone tried this before at all? Changing the PDA, PHONE and CSC codes from one model to anothers so as to have access to other Stock ROM's in your preferred language and without the locale's bloatware, as well as being able to have appz like Intl google play etc (which cannot be included in any 9008 Stock ROM)?
I've looked at detailed specs for both the 9008 and the 9005 models and they seem exactly the same, just the PDA, PHONE and CSC codes make each different.
If anyone has, please can they help tell me the process steps I need to follow (such as do I root 1st and then change the codes, or change the codes 1st and then root?
I do hope someone can give me some positive feedback please. Thanks in anticipation for any help you can offer me.
