To flash cross regional fimrware you need to change you CSC code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491877
Also if you flash MJ3 build then your bootloader will be upgraded and you have to stay will MJ3 firmware, you cant then downgrade back to MJ1 firmware

BUMP
any luck anyone? still getin ext4 error
I want to know this as well. I have Malaysian fw on my phone but I want to switch to BTU. According to what I have read this should work because my current region is XX, however I have seen way too many people getting this ext4 error for me to try it.
Can someone give a definitive answer? I am on MJ3 with a region of XX. Thanks!

Flashed MJ6 onto my malaysian Note 3 successfully, though once there haven't been able to change my CSC since... Also MJ6 has the new bootloaders and I now have warranty void 0x1...
My CSC code was XME, now BTU....

How did you flash it to void warranty?
sorry to hijack
but what does BTU stand for?
and what's the two letters before MJ7?
like UBMJ7, what's UB?

CSC code for UK (no carrier) = BTU.
Revision of Android - MJ7, latest version released as of yet...
Not sure about the rest but it appears regional...
Flashed it after running through RDLV but had issues with WIFI and sd card... Flashed extracted modem from MJ6 rom, this sent me into a bootloop. Flashed stock MJ6 rom onto phone and fixed the bootloop but put new bootloaders on. At this point warranty void was 0x0. Tried Kingoapp to root hoping it wouldn't trip counter, it did...
New bootloaders are a mongrel....

Stay away from Kingo/vroot, xda has removed all links and closed the thread. It's full of malware / spyware and will send all personal details to a Chinese Web server.

just changed my firmware from xme to btu
just follow these from the s4 forum by kaushalls but use odin 3.04 and be patient it may fail for two time but will eventually will do it and run odin in normal mode not administrator mode
Make sure you take a backup via Kies if you need personal files
Download the respective stock ROMS from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com or see thread on Stock Roms on XDA
Extract zip to get tar.md5
Put device into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power) and Flash using Odin (PDA option)
Wait till device reboots back into Android after completing the flash and recovery
Once device reboots, do a Factory Reset via back up and reset option
Once device reboots after Factory Reset/recovery, enter the google account info and restore settings and then turn off the device
and restart (go into recovery and see the csc btu being applied if yes then stop here,do factory reset and restart)
after this the next steps are optional
Boot device back into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power)
Re-flash the same downloaded firmware for a second time via Odin
Once the device reboots after the 2nd flash, your CSC should have changed to the CSC of the ROM you downloaded, and Kies also should show that CSC has changed and it should allow future updates via Kies or OTA
check csc by going to stock recoverry it will show manual mode at the bottom and then show btu csc applied

hi,
I have a Samsung I9505 running
(*#1234*)
AP: i9505XXUAME2
CP: I9505XXUAME2
CSC: I9505OXXAMDB
and according to "CSC Changer" I get that the CSC is NEE.
From reading various threads NEE is "Finland" but I bough my phone in Sweden!? doesn't matter much I guess but still ...
As I've rooted this phone and for some reason it wont allow OTA update as it thinks it is "custom" even tho running "Triangle Away" that says flash counter is 0 and Official and download mode saying it's Official.
Well ether way
The question I have is, can I use pre-rooted firmware with the correct CFC file ? or should I run the official firmware for the NEE (Finland) region and re-root it with CF-Root ?
I have tried searching though the various threads but can't find a clear response to this.
Happy for reponds.

NEE is product code for Nordic Countries.
did you make the wipe after flashing?
connect to Kies and tells what about firmware.
if nothing, reflash firmware

Yes, that is what is was from the begining so I thought it would be best to continue on that path.
I have not wiped anything except dalvik, yet ?
I'll Kies when I get to a comp with that installed.

Factory reset and flash the full rom with odin and select csc instead of pda. This should fix you issue

Can't I just reflash CSC and nothing else ?

Well were using Mobile Odin to flash the firmware so gonna try do a normal odin flash on the CSC alone and see if that fixes the issue.
Nothing seem to be malfunctioning but still annoying ..
Will see what happens after flashing CSC with Odin.
Just a question - is it possible to flash only the CSC with Heimdal ? not familiar with Heimdal but I do prefer running stuff from linux..
found no reason to do a new post so this is my result.
After flashing the same FW as CSC I got back my CSC code but it appears to have flashed everything, system-recovery-hidden and so forth.
Got a new issue though... mobile odin no longer recongizes my device.. oh well.. close enough
So after re-rooting, re-flashing recovery and triangle away binary count I seem to be back in working order with the following as *#1234#
AP: I9505XXUBMF5
CP: I9505XXUBMF
CSC: I9505OXXBMF2
and CSC Changer says my current CSC is: NEE
Hi, I want to flash my galaxy as fedup with waiting for updates.
I got BTU, UK unbranded, unlocked S4
I am polish, so thinking flash it to polish firmware as they get it fast.
GT-I9505 XEO I9505XXUBMEA thats the one I want go for
Can someone tell what is it ? is it network firmware or unbranded?
I would go for it only if I can change CSC code to XEO, so I can get OTA updates.
If not I will keep waiting for BTU
And Dont really want XEO polish carier firmware, as I can flash to Three UK BTU network, would be the same and dont have to change CSC.
So, main questions are
What it is XEO ? what network ?
Can I flash it + change code to CSC all safe?
and how to do it ? Odin
Thank You.

as far as i tried you cant change csc with flashing . unless you flash single csc not multi.
only way is to root with auto root than change csc wit csc changer and then flash desired firmware with odin.
xeo looks like it is simfree so its just general for poland

there was some talk of chcnging csc with flashing twice with odin without auto reboot. but that didnt work for me.

Can someone help me out as I am new to all of this...
I am using a Samsung galaxy tab 7.0 (p2610), and I flashed a jelly bean update successfully using odin. I am not rooted.
I have a system update in the notifications window that is stuck there, that is not working (process fails), this is due to the csc code being in great britain.
I am in Canada, I have Odin ready to go, can someone please show me how to change the CSC of my device to Canada?
Where do I go to download the appropriate file? After I assume I load it up in Odin with device in recovery mode, and flash using the "CSC" option in Odin correct?
Any help would be great.
Dear Friends,
I'm using N9005 on this N9005XXUBMJ1 firmware and trying to flash to the newer firmware from other region N9005ZHUDMJ8.
However, I've been getting an error "ext4 img" in ODIN and now my phone cannot boot and stuck on the download mode. So I decided to flash it back to its previous version N9005XXUBMJ1 but still not success and stuck on the same loop.
I have tried doing the emergency recovery from KIES, but having another error "[about] Fused 2 > Binary 1" (on the following screenshot)
Can anybody help me on this problem? I really like the phone and I really need it back.
Thank you
I just solved the problem by myself, it seems that there is a problem with the bootloader on the MJ8 version or something, so I use the MJ6 BTU firmware instead and it works. phewww
Having the same problem...which firmware is MJ6 BTU?
TIA

I think MJ8 is from Hongkong 16GB Model.
Either way the knox warranty void has been triggered. You also have the new bootloader meaning recovery through Kies won't work until your country gets the new bootloader stock.. You are essentially stuck using another countries rom now until your coutry/carrier upgrades their firmware with the new bootloader...
Forget Kies recovery working if things go wrong...

To answer my own question, this is the BTU (United Kingdom) firmware file that saved my otherwise bricked phone which got the MJ8 HK bootloader:
N9005XXUDMJ6_N9005OXADMJ4_BTU.zip

It should be possible, but might fail, so in any case make sure you download both the latest Hong Kong firmware (MK1) and the MJ7 BTU firmware just in case it fails you can flash MK1 on top and your device supposed to work fine.
Hi everyone
I wanted to ask you a question.
In short: Are Kies and OTA are connected? I mean if Kies reports it doesn't support my firmware so I won't get OTAs too?
Detailed: I flashed two weeks ago the German stock rom DBT for I9505 (MJ5).
The reason I did that is because I couldn't get updates via Kies with the last firmware, I had:
PDA: ME2, PHONE: ME2, CSC: MDB(BTU)
I understood ME2 stands for Nordic countries and the product code (BTU) is for England so I couldn't get updates through Kies.
I flashed the German stock rom via Odin and all went OK but afterwards when I connected the device to Kies I still had BTU in CSC:
PDA: MJ5, PHONE: MJ5, CSC: MJ5(BTU)
My question is why is it like that? Wasn't the CSC supposed to change to DBT?
And so the main question: Will this interfere me to get OTA updates from Germany when they will be out? Because Kies still keeps saying that it doesn't support my firmware.
Thanks in advance

I mean, when I updated to JB4.3 from 4.2.2 and rooted my phone, The knox counter incresed to 0x1; this was the reason I allways have thought OTA and kies updates notifications will never work again.
Anyway, In my case I can no more update by OTA or kies because I rooted the phone in 4.3 (or better, because of the knox counter increasing), but for buckups and so on I can use it normally, except I had to download kies version 3, the only kies version compatible with S4 JB 4.3, maybe you still have kies version 2.
Few months ago I flashed Android 5.0 Poland and today I wanted to flash original version which is Android 5.0 Romania. I did flash it and CSC changed from XEO which is for Poland as far as I know to SEE (unkown) instead of csc ROM which is for Romania.
My question is how I can get rid of SEE csc and get the ROM csc which is normal for my current firmware. I did tried factory reset quite few times.
Google ?

The thing is that I don't want to have knox 0x1 after Rooting the phone. The reason I did installed Romanian Version it's because I want to go with at Warranty to fix something.

this maybe help you flash CSC in odn csc tab:
extract cache.img and hidden.img from your Romania firmware make tar from them using this program(https://www.dropbox.com/s/egp2c88amceg8mn/IZArc.4.1.9.rar?dl=0)
change the tar name to CSC.tar and flash in odin CSC tab.
do it with your on risk
