[Q] i screwed my note 3 ... a bit ... any suggestions - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi folks,
yes, i know that i made somewhere a mistake ... what i did ...
i was on ATO (Austria) version of MI7 and thought i can flash a german JB1 via odin.... everything worked well till hidden.img comes up ... at this point the flash process failed completely.
afterwards the phone shows "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in KIES" ... which i tried, but after giving the model number & S/N it always prompt that the S/N doesnt work (but its 100% correct).
what should i do now? maybe i could flash an original ATO MI7 firmware over, but i couldn't find an Austrian Version for Download

try this
Had the same problem with kies.Restart pc then re-enter sn in kies recovery.

I had this problem and I fixed it by flashing the original firmware that came with the phone. I was on stock UK btu and tried to flash stock h3g UK. Failed on hidden.IMG, stuck on kies screen so I downloaded the stock UK btu firmware and flashed with Odin and all is OK again.

[Q] Help i9500 Bought from Hong Kong using in the UK

Hi,
I purchased a i9500 from Hong Kong:
AP: I9500ZSUAME1
CP: I9500XXUAMDK
CSC: I9500OZSAME1
I am not getting any OTA or Kies updates and I am unsure what Odin Direction to go in, regarding updating this Phone.
Any help guys much appreciated.....
It is updated to the latest version. FYI, the firmware updates are region specific and will come via OTA/Kies when it comes.
Be patient if you don't want to root/flash custom s/w.

[Q] Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 Restore to it's factory firmware

Hello i bought a couple of day ago a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 from France.
I'm from Greece so i thought it would be good to install the greek firmware...
Now i try to restore to the french firmware but with no luck. Neither Kies nor odin works...
With kies i tried Factory restore and initialiazation but it didn't work.
And odin keeps giving me an "AUTH error".
But everytime odin soft bricks my phone(trying to install the french version), it installs the greek like a charm.
Could anyone please help me?
PS: 1) French firmware (I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar)
2) Greek Firmware (I9505XXUDMH6_I9505OXXDMH4_I9505XXUDMH6_HOME.tar)
3) my phone is factory unlocked

The Greek firmware is newer than the french and you cant flash back to older firmware on the S4 only to newer.
Btw why do you want to go back to the french? Im asking because i have the German one and was thinking of flashing the Greek. Is the Greek not working well?
you cannot downgrade as mga firmware is knox free and mh6 firmware contains knox you need to flash a newer french firmware .

So i have to wait until 4.3 to flash to french firmware?
Isn't there any way to downgrade?
i actually read someplace that any firmware starting with mgg or newer could be flashed over a knox firmware . so you could flash a french firmware ending with mgg or mh1 or mh5 . an mh8 will work for sure.

Changing Csc on S5 without root

Hi, I have a T-Mobile polish S5 and I want to change my csc (tpl) in italian (itv)...
The Note 3 procedure (flash the firmware, wipe the device then insert SIM and it changes to my region) works? If not, are there new (and if possible easier) ways without rooting device?
Thanks

Flash the Italian ITV rom with Odin 3.09, do a data factory reset, setup the phone and then go to recovery and reboot. Sometimes after that you have to reflash the Italian rom again with Odin to make the CSC file stick. Thats how i flashed the DBT rom on my Dutch T-Mobile rom and my device is now recognised as a DBT device by Kies.

Ok.. so, after the first reboot, I will test csc with *#1234# code.. if not changed, I have to flash ITV rom again
And, after csc change, I won't able to update through OTA bu only via Odin.. right?
What about Knox counter?

You should be getting the ITV OTA`s or from Kies if the device is recognised as a ITV device by Kies. If not reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and reboot or reflash the ITV rom with Odin without a wipe.

I have bought unlocked Galaxy Note 4 from 3 UK. It has own stock firmware with terrible 3 start screen. I have found your threat and then followed the instructions here to reflash stock BTU rom. And now my new Galaxy Note 4 is stock BTU with nice Samsung boot animations. And Samsung Kies recognise it as well.Thanks for info and instructions.

And Knox is not trigged of course. Cool!
Has anyone tried doing a repair from Kies using a VPN connection with a VPN server in the desired CSC country?
Would that automatically change the CSC? This sounds reasonable because when repairing a bricked phone, the CSC info on the file-system should normally not be trusted (it might not even be there), so how else would Kies know which CSC to use if not from the user's IP address?
I've been able to change the firmware location customization on my Sony Ericsson Arc S and the Sony PC Companion software using the above method, so I was wondering whether the same would be true with Samsung Kies.
this also work's

Hello. Thanks for your kind help. I have a question about flashing part of your procedure through odin .
Which options should I tick in order to be change the csc?
Do in need to use PIT file and repartition?
Or is it necessary to update the bootloader?
By the way my phone is SM-N910C and i am planning to flash 5.0.1 boc3 rom of poland. And i want to change my CSC meanwhile.

to change CSC:
1. using keystring method such like *#272#XXXXXX
2. Using UART- to USB converter to send signal into the phone. (AT+PRODCODE)
