Questions about rooting the Note 3 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My PDA is N9005XXUBMJ1 so it's rootable using URDLV.
Using the Phone INFO app written by a guy here, I found that my Product Code is SM-N9005ZKESIN, Sales Code (aka Region Code) is SIN, Country is Singapore.
I downloaded the N9005XXUBMJ1_N9005OLBBMI3_XSP.zip firmware. XSP, not SIN. Can I use it? Or should I redownload the correct file?

Spain CSC problem

Hello all! I'm using firmware JM7 with OXX csc. I've been using it as it started when flashed. Today I've checked and CSC was KOR, as if I were in Korea. Once written the csc change code on the phone, I get a lot of codes but none for Spain, which I think is FOP.
Then I checked JM7 OXA CSC and JM6 and JPC CSCs included and none contained the code FOP.
So, either I have to use another code or I'm wrong asuming the CSC code is FOP for Spain, anyone got a clue?
Can I use an older CSC that contains FOP?
Thanks in advance
Same problem... I need the last CSC version of Spain... Any clue or some download?

[Q] Change csc? Skygo region locked?

Hi all,
looking for some help.
I have a Note 3 from Germany and have run into a problem trying to load Skygo onto it. For some reason it keeps saying device not supported.
After doing some research i came to the conclusion that my phone must have a German firmware/CSC and have since Flashed (?) to a uk ROM.
I believe this was successful but Skygo still doesn't work?
Here are the details from *#1234#
AP: N9005XXUENB7
CP: N9005XXUENB1
CSC: N9005OXAENB1
Here's some additional info from "Phone info":
Country of origin: Made in Vietnam
Knox 0x0
Original CSC Code: BTU
Firmwares CSC Code: BTU
Active CSC Code: BTU
CSC Country: UK & IRE
Android version 4.4.2 KOT49H N9005XXUENB7
I'm really not that Tech savvy and i'm unsure if my ROOT was successful and if my CSC has changed?
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Rees

Unable to update Note 3

I bought the phone which was brand new, couple of years ago. I wanted to update it to the latest OS but was unable to do so as it says it was modified.
After extensive research online, i came to know i have to flash the stock rom using Odin. But i am unable to find the stock firmware that matches the codes.
These are the results from *#1234#
AP : N9005XXUBMI7
CP : N9005XXUBMI6
CSC : N9005OJVBMI2
I am unable to trace the stock ROM firmware. Appreciate if anyone could give the link and the instructions if possible.
EDIT: Okay i managed to download the stock ROM of 4.3 from a website and successfully flashed it. But being in 4.3 it says the phone is up to date and has no updates available when i check for new updates

I downloaded the 4.3 OS and installed that matched my version. How do i go for 5.0 as it is not showing in my phone? Do i need to match the version codes as in that website the 5.0 version is not matching my phone version
Use the newest XXU* Version fitting to your home country best. In my case you would need Germany (DBT) because it was a unbranded german phone. Thus I need PDA: N9005XXUGBOK6 and CSC: N9005DBTGBOI1. Because I am NOT using stock at all anymore, I always use the newest BL and MODEM, but in your case just use the most recent Firmware which fits your origin and provider.

Seems like Sri Lanka has a N9005ODD* CSC in recent FWs, but you have a N9005OJV* one used in South Africa and Morocco currently.
So I would try these:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/62194/N9005XXUGBOK9_N9005OJVGBOI1_XFM (South Africa)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61958/N9005XXUGBOK9_N9005OJVGBOI1_MWD (Morocco)
No guarantee though, but in theory it's not interesting at all which FW you use. At least I already used DBT ones and Nordic Country NEE ones and had no problems in the past.
So you could try http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/62526/N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005ODDGBOJ1_SLK (Sri Lanka) too. But as I said, FW update always is a risk and if you don't know how to fix stuff, it can be a nice activity for a whole weekend to fix stuff again.
If you want to be more sure and secure... load https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo and send the stuff shown in "General", "CSC-Code", "Firmware" and "Android" in here. Most interesting is the "Active CSC Code"

Isn't the different PDA version a problem?
Nope. PDA version changes from time to time. Check the firmwares for CSC XSI and you will see that they are Android version dependent. Same can be seen for any country.

Unlocked S7 Edge with pre-installed Iranian application

I just bought S7 Edge 935F (the factory unlocked version as per the seller claim) when I opened it, I found pre-installed Iranian application. Then I installed "Phone Info * SAMSUNG" application from google play. Using this app, I found in the CSC codes "CSC Country: IRAN" also, I found the product code is "SM-G935FZKATHR" (ends in "THR" as Iran country code) and "Mobile Operator: 310410"... I don't know what's "Mobile Operator" is it different than the network carrier like At&t or T-Mobile?. I listed all the important info below.
My Question:
As per my knowledge, the factory unlocked Samsung Galaxy phones should come with only pre-installed Google or Samsung apps not other regional or 3rd party apps (I don't know if I'm correct with this assumption). My phone hardware is genuine but I'm afraid that someone used it before I receive it or changed its CSC codes to Iranian or he unlocked it himself. I contacted the seller and he's waiting for my decision.
Here's part of the output of Phone Info * SAMSUNG app:

Should I return this phone to the seller as it's not factory unlocked ? ... or I should keep it as such regional pre-installed apps are ordinary in Galaxy S7 edge ?
Thanks in advance.
I have a similar question, all help will be really appreciated. I am an absolute novice, I used phone info to see that my csc is also IRAN, it says i have other CSC options is there a way i can switch ? I tried using the *#272* method using both the imei numbers but it doesnt work. I have no idea how to root the phone so if it possible to switch please let me know.
It is ok, I had mine with "Shahid" app pre-installed also. Never even checked the CSC. Just flashed the latest BTU (UK) firmware with Odin with full factory reset and all good, no strange additional apps.

This is fairly common here in austria for small shops. I have a hungarian S7 edge from telenor. But I was able to uninstall all carrier apps.
Here if you want a local country variant you have either buy from the large carriers or buy in the large retail stores.
But if you buy in those small turk/service/repair shops here you pay sometimes 150€ less than retail for a sealed new unit but the downside is you never know where it comes from. The shop people often lie to sell it "yes yes it is unbranded".
It should not be a problem though, it is genuine.
