[Q] Back to my country stock rom - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am from Turkey. I installed JB 4.3 India J9 stock rom last week. Today a stock rom released for Turkey as J8. I downloaded it from sammobile and installed it by Odin. After installation i wiped cache and reseted factory. But when i connect to kies, it says there is an update as J9. Rom seems as Inu code. I want to keep Turkish rom. What must I do?
Thanks.

Help: Cannot Select CSC Code

I have flashed my Note with the UK ROM LP4 and want to change my CSC code from the German CSC code ODT which I set after installing the German LPY ROM. But when I try using *#272*IME# then it just shows the ODT code with no other codes listed and no selection button for the ODT code.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for all your help
I think the U.K. Rom you installed dude doesn't offer Multi CSC resource. You have to install a rom with Multi CSC resources.
Check Samfirmware and look for another U.K Rom you can flash and check later on if you can have the option of selecting ODT among the CSCs on that ROM.

There is only one other UK rom on Samfirmware which is for the carphone warehouse but how do you know if it is Multi CSC? I don't want to select ODT but the UK CSC which I think is XEU
Thanks for your help.
hmm.. hey listen.. i read this before, try this step: downgrade your phone to a all stock GB , there are a lot of it in Dr ketan's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997. Choose the very basic stock one. After you flash to stock, check if there is ODT on that, if it does have it. Then your good to go. Flash and back to your official U.K Rom, I'm sure the Mutli CSC from the previous one is already there. By the way, you need to flash the Rom only.. not the corresponding CSC files of your new UK ROM..

Thanks for your help I'm going to flash XXLC1 which is 2.36 and is called Open Europe so it should have the UK CSC code which I think is XEU. So I need to set that once LC1 is flashed then flash LP4 again. Correct? I notice in Samfirmware there are PDA and CSC files available. Can you just flash a CSC file? If so then there is no need to flash XXLC1 which is the PDA file.
When I flashed the UK LP4 rom I just flashed the PDA file. If I had also flashed the CSC file at the same time then perhaps I would be able to select the UK CSC code. As I have just flashed the PDA file can I now flash just the CSC file or do I need to start again and flash PDA and CSC together?
Sorry for all the questions, but I am a noob
I just checked it for myself and realised that only Korea CSC code is avaible to me after ICS Turkey version update. How can i revert to TUR CSC code which is for Turkey? I flash roms with mobile odin pro. Do you think it's something related to it ?
I managed to fix my CSC code problem by flashing the stock European GB rom XXKL8 which is multi-CSC. The other big advantage of the KL8 is that it does a full wipe which clears a lot of faults when you flash over other roms without a wipe.
With XXKL8 installed I was able to select the XUE CSC code for the UK and then flash the latest ICS stock rom for the UK. With the correct UK CSC code and correct UK rom I am now able to use kies or ota for future updates.

It's nothing to do with Odin. You need to find a rom, probably a regional one which contains multiple CSC codes including your Turkey code. You might need to flash a GB rom first which does a full wipe if you have been flashing several non-wipe roms to clear any errors.
Once you are able to set the Turkey CSC using the regional Multi-CSC rom then you can flash the ICS rom for Turkey then you will have the correct CSC code and correct rom so you will be able to use kies for updates.
Hope this helps.
To be honest i don't remember which Gingerbread CSC code i was using before the ICS update and moreover i didn't directly flash ICS Turkey version over gingerbread. I first flashed ICS LPY German then i flashed ICS Turkey on it. Before that i only used German , Open Europe and Turkey roms. So i don't have a clue where did that Korean CSC come from even tho i never flashed a rom with Korean CSC. Thanks for the tip but i'm scared to downgrade to gingerbread for the famous emc bug hard brick problems. I can bare with korean csc for now as i never flash roms through kies.

Flashing ROMS is never risk free. However flashing stock GB ROMS correctly using Odin appears to be reasonably safe. You can do a search for the correct CSC code for Turkey and change that but it will do a factory reset. If you don't have the CSC code which matches your ROM then you will not be able to update firmware using Kies.
Doesn't manual factory reset on a single-CSC ROM also change the CSC to that of the ROM...?

[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.

[Q] Wrong CSC after firmware installation

Hi everyone.
I'm now on stock rom of United Kingdom (BTU) android 4.3 with Knox.
I want to move to the stock rom of Netherlands (PHN), also 4.3 with Knox.
The last time I installed German stock rom (DBT) my CSC didn't change to DBT and stayed on BTU and therefore I couldn't get updates via Kies.
I do not want to root my phone or change the CSC in "illegal" ways which will trip the Knox flag and so I won't be able to get updates from Samsung.
The last time I installed this DBT rom I tried already resetting my phone like 3 times and doing wipe data/factory reset twice or so and it didn't help in changing the CSC.
Before I install the PHN rom please provide me with a solution if my CSC will stay on BTU.
Thanks in advance,
Anyone?

[Q] Lollipop update on S5

Hi all, Im not sure if im posting in the right section, I am new to forumns, I have a samsung galaxy s5 G900F, I am in the UK but cannot get update for lollipop via samsung kies 3 or OTA. All it says is latest updates already installed. My samsung was bought in italy but was unlocked to all networks. My build number is KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9, is the reason it is not updating because its from Italy and that I have to wait for Italy to release their update?
Well, yea if your ROM is Italian then you need to wait for the Italian update
Or flash a UK ROM, in which case you might as well flash the stock Lollipop ROM from sammobile or here XDA
Yes, your rom is italian no carrier, in italy for now lolipop was released only for some carrier(Vodafone and H3g)
Thanks for your reply, I am searching for the UK ROM and found BTU - is BTU for no carrier? also do I need to Root my phone to install the ROM?

[Q] CSC for G900F Problem

Hi,
I am using International version of Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F, I bought it with the firmware belonging to KST(Saudia Arabia). As I was in need of 4G I flashed it with official firmware from Poland (XEO) at that time only country having Lollipop update. After some time I rooted my mobile. and flashed Xtrestolite rom. Now I reverted back to stock official firmware from England(BTU). My CSC when seen in Kies is from XEO(Poland). While I installed Firmware from England. Now again I rooted my mobile again and installed Xtrestolite rom to change CSC manually through Phoneinfo Samsung. But it gives error. It shows in CSC section
Original CSC XEO
Firmware CSC BTU
Active CSC XEO/BTU
CSC Country UK & IRE
Prouct name G900FZDAXEO
How can I change original CSC according to the official firmware installed i.e. BTU(UK) to get official updated from Kies?

No Luck. Same
After flashing firmware going to recovery android icon comes and some installation starts (A blue bar below it) it goes almost half in the way and phone restarts again. If I go to recovery there comes.
