Question : is the CSC / Phone firmware independent from the ROM?
For example, my phone says: Broadband Version = N9005XXUBMJ1
Can I flash N9005XXUBMJ3 over that using Odin's PHONE and CSC buttons?
Or should I wait until a new Omega ROM version includes the new phone and csc firmware?
My phone is a Note 3 (N9005) running Omega 2.3

In Odin you can flash 4 different things:
- bootloader
- pda
- phone
- csc
My question is if you can flash these independently, or if each has to be attuned to the other. For example would it hurt to patch "phone" and "csc" from XXUMBJ3 over Omega ROM 3.1 (which comes with XXUMBJ1)
If that's a confusing question, please let me know how I can improve the question.

Hi guys,
anybady know, what if i flash an old modem and the newest PDA, JVT for example.
I flashed JVT.JVT.JVT; CSC was for EU. But i've got a problem with the modem, somtimes nobody couldn't call me and i sometimes couldn't call too.
Now i've flashed back the stock rom wich has CSC = DBT.
Can I only flash JVT in PDA, but modem and CSC leave untouched?
Sorry for my english

Hi paul-ac,
AFAIK it should work.

you could.
But I suggest you flash JVT as PDA and the modem and CSC files of your choice at the same time.
That's what I did... JVR as PDA, KG3 as radio and CSC and it works perfectly fine here in Canada
thank you guys i will try it!
Try different combinations, but be careful, don't play with csc's
as long as csc contains your country data it is safe - so if it contains your sales code
only the blootware from it could fail to work sometimes if it has odex pair file, but that should not affect the overall phone performance
same with modem as long it is from firmware that were ment to support your country it is ok (so if it was in package with css for your region)
but well known fact is that hongkong modem is working well for eu users and so on - just do not use modems from other devices
also note that if youre on 3g and using connection you can not be called
Hi everybody,
I also have a question about firmware and hope that somebody could help me...
A few days ago bought gs with
firmware: 2.2.1
baseband: i9000xxjpy
kernel: 2.6.32.9
[email protected]#1
build: froyo.xwjs8
i was wondering can any 2.3.4 firmware can go, or i have to find a specific version... besides firmware is something else required to be updated?
tried to update through kies but is says that this is the latest version...
sorry for speling...

Hi Xda.. im following you for 3 different devices (gs3, xperia z, and now gs4).
i ve a problem with my s4.. originally it was a branded h3g (im italian) i9505 so i decided to make it no brand..
so, installed the phil touch recovery i choose the "android revolution hd 3.0" based on xxubmga firmware + wifi fix..
at this point my s4 begins to shut down suddenly during use.. always when the % battery is at 69% or lowest..
I realized that the baseband remained I9505XXUBMEA that of my old branded firmware (h3g - PDA I9505XXUBMEA CSC I9505HUIBME3 MODEM I9505XXUBMEA)
so i installed with odin the modem of xxubmga of android revolution hd 3.0 but the problem is not solved.. it he shuts down unexpectedly.. when im using whatsapp.. chrome.. etc..
now i used the code *#1234# and i saw AP I9505XXUBMGA CP I9505XXUBMEA (so it s not changed also after odin's replacement modem process) CSC I9505OXXBMG4
how can i fix this problem of shutdown? is a battery problem? or rom problem?
thank you.. and excuse me for my bad english
Check if there is any lump on the battery or you can try a friend's battery if he/she has an s4.

You're from Italy? What's your original CSC? If you change the baseband and the build, your CSC needs to be the same as the original because the CSC handles the communications with the operators. It won't work otherwise.
Now I don't know why that would cause shutdowns. Try changing your CSC. And then try a different battery.

Change battery as the first thing. Also you need to make sure that your Modem is same as the base, so flash a ME3 modem.

Hey guys..
So I was trying to install a Korean Note 3 4.2.2 firmware (SM-N900S) on my Australian Note 3 (SM-N9005) using ODIN but was a failure.. It wouldn't proceed, saying "failed" so I gave up and instead of that I've installed UK Note 3 4.2.2 (SM-N9005)..
But I still want to install Korean firmware on my phone!!
So does anyone have any idea why this was a failure??
Is it because the model name is different?? (Will changing the model name by rooting help?)
From my past experience, I was able to install international firmware even without changing the model name..
About my device:
AP: N9005XXUEND3
CP: N9005XXUENC2
CSC: N9005OXAEND1
If you need any information about my phone (version etc.) Please ask!!
So I'm currently on UK BTU 4.2.2 (SM-N9005) and trying to install Korean SKT 4.2.2 (SM-N900S).
*This isn't a custom rom!!
Please help..
Thanks!!

The boot sequence in modern phones is secure/restricted (and Odin also tries to enforce it even before the boot - to stop you from writing bad stuff).
Basically the bootloader is different (something that you can also see even on the same N9005 model when going from 4.3 to 4.4 - 4.4 does not work with old 4.3 bootloader and currently there is a restriction which stops you from downgrading the bootloader).

But I'm not trying to downgrade.. Will it still not work..?
Also then, is there any other way to break this restriction?

No, you can't flash Korean rom on your N89005...
So I have S4 I9505 with custom phoenix rom 4.4.2 version and kernel version [email protected]#5. I want to return my phone to official stock rom and kernel if needed.
In phone info app under firmware tab I get:
bootloader version: I9505XXUEMJ7
PDA version: I9505XXUGNJ8
CSC version: I9505OXXGNK1
Baseband version: I9505XXUEMJ7
latest firmware: I9505XXUHOJ2/I9505OLBHOH1/I9505XXUHOJ2
(so I found and download the zip file with that stock rom for I9505XXUHOJ2/I9505OLBHOH1 XME witch I plan to flash with Odin3 3.10)
under CSC CODE tab I get product code GT-I9505ZWAXME and original CSC code XME
So my questions are:
1. Am I planing to flash the correct stock rom for my telephone ?
2. Will I have to flash the official stock kernel for my phone or can I leave the one I already have? And what to flash first the stock kernel or the stock rom ?
3. Where can I find the official stock kernel for my version of S4 ?
Thx in advance

You can flash any stock rom if your phone is not carrier locked.
The stock kernel is packed with the stock rom, and so is the stock recovery. So it's basically a 3in1 package. You just have to decide which stock rom to flash.

My phone it's not carrier locked.
So basically any official stock kernel that I find I can flash and I don't need to worry about PDA,CSC and other codes. If that is so can you direct me where can I find stock kernel/recovery/rom in one package for the latest android version for S4. If any will do then its not important which really as long as it is official samsung rom
As I said, you only need the rom, the kernel and recovery come with the stock rom .zip.
You can download official roms from sammobile. Just enter your device model. After that select your country and carrier, and it will give you the latest firmware.
Problem is that sammobile has slow downloads..
Thx I will do that. There I found the first rom I mentioned in original post. But its nice to know that I can pick any rom there that I want. Sorry for my noobisam
