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...?

Restore i9001 firmware

I need to restore the original firmware for my SGS+, but I can't seem to find it. I went to sammobile and found list of firmwares, but I can't find my country there, or any other country with the same carrier as I need.
I need a firmware for Serbia, carrier Telenor. The closest I could find is Croatia and Bosnia, but they don't have Telenor.
Is there a way to find the firmware I need, and if not, which one should I flash to successfully restore the original firmware?
btw, I bought my phone from Telenor and I have contract with them.

Flash an unbranded one for you device.
I had an Vodafone NL branded version but after the KIES update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 i got an unbranded one.

[Q] Restoring i9500 to stock, which firmware for UK?

I want to return my i9500 to complete stock. I am in the UK, but can't find the i9500 firmware for UK

Go to Sammobile the latest firmware will be on there

I have heard that the Pakistan ROM has little to no bloatware.

Does it matter which countries ROM I install?
Is there any country where the first language on the first screen says "English" (i.e you don't have to change it from French to English)... so it at least looks like a UK rom?

Is it possbile to install European rom to TGY model without issues?

To make a long story short, I bought a motherboard for a note 3 from Hong kong (AliExpress). According to the seller, the motherboard was an European version, but it turned out to be a Hong kong model (TGY). I have nothing against Hong Kong, but I tried flashing a European rom 4.4.2 (XEF) with Odin, but I was getting ext4 image errors. So, I flashed with a pit file and it went through, but wifi was greyed out, and there was no way to turn on Wifi. So, I reflashed TGY rom (4.4.2) with a pit file, and everything seems to work including Wifi.
BUT, I have an European rom (rooted, deodexed stock 4.4.2) with some modifications, and I would like to install this rom. Can someone suggest what I can do, to flash an European rom to a TGY model?

I think it's possible to use custom rom across any region. Only got problem when flashing with odin. With custom recovery should be fine.
Not really sure though.

Thank you.
I rooted and installed Philz Recovery. Then, I flashed a custom rom 4.4.2 (XEF). It flashes with no problem, but wifi was still greyed out.
Then, I followed this procedure. (Sorry. It is in French..)
http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/188067-tuto-flasher-une-rom-europe-sur-note-3-hong-kong/
But, I got the same result with wifi greyed out.
As I have another N9005 (European version). I saved a pit file from this, and reflashed 4.4.2 (XEF) with Odin. Still., wifi greyed out.
I made a comparison between the two Note 3, and I found out that the bootloader is different. So, I am trying to find a way to change the bootloader.
By the way, the European model is made in Korea, and the Hong Kong model is made in China.
If you have other suggestions, you are welcome.

Is it a N9005 motherboard or some other version ??

Question for Indonesian/Singaporean Owners

I have a SM-G935FD I bought in Singapore in April. My phone is stock and unrooted. I live in Indonesia. I'm thinking of flashing the latest Indo ROM, as maybe it has better compatibility with Telkomsel, Product code XID
PDA G935FXXU1BPH6, CSC G935FOLE1BPH2. Anyone have anything bad to say about this ROM?
I also bought a Gear VR in Singapore. Will i have any problems with this, or anything else, if I change from my Singaporean CSC?
Thanks for any insight.
