Need some advice here. I have a n9005, here some detail :
PDA : MJ7
PHONE : MJ7
CSC : MK1 (O2C)
Android : 4.3
Can i flash my device firmware to android 4.2.2 KK version on other region firmware using odin?
Nobody can help me?
Hey everyone,
I live in Turkey and I bought my N9005 from Germany (Saturn-I think it is DBT version)
I contacted samsung.de and they provided unlock code for region lock.
and it is officially region unlocked.
I've been waiting for kitkat update for DBT version but nothing came online yet.
So here is the question,
What happens to my "unlock", if I flash poland or any other FW via Odin to my N9005?
will I need to contact samsung.de for a new unlock code , which takes 10-15 days to get one.
or it will stay region unlocked after Odin flash of any FW (european)
Thanks in advance for the answers.
I currently own a SM-N9905 from the Philippines that is currently locked to a carrier.
Baseband: N9005XXUDMJ7
PDA: N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC: N9005OLBDMJ2
1. Can I change the CSC to another region so I can update to 4.4.2?
2. Will Knox 0x0 be tripped if I do so?
3. (a longshot question) If I manage to change the CSC will the phone be unlocked?
You must look here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666907
And the answer is yes.You will trip knox for changing CSC you need root.Root will trip knox.

To try about CSC's, I have flashed the Singapore XSP but it have the XTC from Philippines by default. May be a Samsung error.
If You flash this Rom by Odin3 v3.09 You stay whit Your XTC, not need change CSC. And the flag continue 0x0.
When we say phone locked or unlocked is only about Sim card from Your carrier. You can't use the Sim from another carrier. Like my Note3 is locked to TMN. But I and You can flash what we want, Rom's, Bootloaders, Modem,s, CSC's, etc.
Make Full wipe data + cache on recovery. If You not have one customer recovery (that trip the flag to 0x1) You make this whit stock recovery, but in this case Your internal Sdcard must be wiped also. Save it to External or to Pc before.
Flash this Rom is HERE.
Singapore XSP (but XTC by default) => XXUENB4_ OLBENA3_XXUENB1
OLB = Multi-CSC 10 csc's on Post #5 from that thread.
PS: In this case You not need the link from post before.

Mine is SMA. Can I flash XXUENB4_ OLBENA3_XXUENB1 via Odin directly and Knox will remain 0x0?

As far as I know region lock is based on your CSC

can u please eloborate. w.r.t regionlock away by chainfire it removes the blacklist country networks and then the rooted phone can have any sim.
does the CSC change if you replace the firmware from region lock country to non region lock like singapore or hong kong.
Please clarify
Thanks in advance
