1.flash the kernel from secure to insecure through ODIN
2.root the OS with S2Root_1.5.1
3.reflashed with original kernel to remove yellow icon while booting(optional)
Referred the instructions in this post for previous steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
4.Install Spooffw from market( it requires root access.the reason why we root before doing this)
5.Open Spooffw app and select Nordic region preset ,follow the steps in that app (which change the phones internal files to make it look like its from Nordic countries)
6.Connect to PC ->Open KIES found that it shows 2.3.5 XXKI4 update is available .
7.upgrade the firmware.
But i lost the root access . Gotta root again (follow first three steps) if i need root access again
Why not flash 2.3.5 using Odin? Alot less steps and twice as quick.

Thanks for mentioning that app. I'll follow that method next time I wanna upgrade.
PS- Changing the region won't delete my data, right?
No, Kies does not wipe data.
Can anyone else confirm?

Note that, You will have to do the same when Official Indina version gets released !!!
Steps you did will update your model id ... which makes is diificult to get official version from Kies ... So in order to restore that footprint you will have to again update your Model ID with SpoofFW...
I tried this a lot with My Galaxy S....
I would simply prefer ODIN method ... and You can easily detect if ROM you are about to flash will Wipe or Not. ...
1) Single File , No Wipe
2) 3 Files , Full Wipe.

Didn't know that! What if I flash two files? Say PDA and CSC, will it wipe or not?

You should not do that ... Dont know , What will two files do !!!
But When you flash new ROM, theses two points can detect Wiping... ROM Will never have two files ... !
Flashing two files might work or might not work ! ... Normally PDA holds Wipe details ... if i am wrong.

Why? Titanium backup Rox.
Dude, whats the point in updating to XXKI4 via kies? , ITs still an european firmware. also its already available here in our forums, you can simply flash it via mobile odin.
I guess it makes sense in one way: for someone who wants the latest "Indian" firmware via Kies but can't get it because he/she flashed a firmware via ODIN before.
Of course, this is assuming folks in India will actually get an updated firmware soon :-D
Basically the SpoofFW app enables Kies to recognize your firmware as something that is upgradeable. Not particularly useful for most of us on XDA, but great if someone wants to stop screwing around with flashing firmwares and go back to Kies-enabled stock.
the app using an spoofing is easy an i had done it for sgs1 but had to reverse it wen official fw arrieved...an odin dint wipe my data (untick the partition)but some fw did wipe my data....i say odin is good an fast..dont exp wiv sgs2...but u got a no of custum roms to flash....cheeerz
Hi everyone, i encounter a problem earlier. Basically i rooted my phone days ago and i m still using stock rom without flashing custom roms. So i eager to try out the mod from Omega thread and install the Omega file from google play. After downloaded the mod (for omega rom) of scrolling wallpaper for TW and i flashed it. Booting up my phone with TW not responding, force close. Try again and again still cant boot into menu. I know i m stupid that didn't do a NAND backup before flashing it, and now i m stuck at this force close thing. So i found out out there there is a stock official rom XXUBMEA, i was previously from XXUAME2, can i flash this rom with odin?What is the complete process i need to do to flash this stock rom? Appreciate that you can help me so i can get back my phone!!

It will not delete the setting apps data etc since u are flashing with odin
However after flashing u make whatever data backup u need and reset the device completely so that the csc will match the new firmware and will work with kies

If you are rooted use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and after that go straight to download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin. After the flash do a data factory reset and you have the phone as you initialy got it

Samsung oficial firmware see www.sammobile.com/firmware, you have to register first before you can download!

Have you got the correct drivers installed by Kies? Tried another usb port (no hub)? Are you using the original usb cable?

Its not as hard as it seems to use Odin:
1. Close Kies, also in windows task manager!
2. Enable usb debugging on the phone.
3. Open Odin 3.04 as administrator
4. Place the downloaded rom that is unzipped ONCE and shows a .md5 file in PDA
5. Phone in downloadmode (after you used to reset the flash counter with Triangle Away)
6. Connect the phone with usb to Odin (IDCOM should light up and show a com number)
7. Press start and flash the rom.
Reboot and data factory reset in settings/accounts/reset
Done
Best answer.. easy to understand.. thanksss

BTW sir,.. i cant find any model of Samsung galaxy s4 GTi9505
can u help me to find th original firmwares?
You can try this rom with odin
http://samsung-updates.com/details/12205/Galaxy_S_4_Snapdragon/GT-I9505/XEF/I9505XXUBMGA.html
it's the last official rom from France. the only issue if it's not the right region code for your country is to had just issue with carrier network
why i choose the link from france ? cauz no specific region code for turkey and france is close to france (in geographical situation).
but if you remind the region code of your first stock rom i can try to find a link for the it
this is the easiest way to unroot and go back to stock and official galaxy s4 with TW.
follow this simple guide .

You can use this app to change your CSC. However, two things.
A. You need to be rooted beyond XXELLA
B. Your selected rom needs to support multi csc
( tried that before but doesn't work as its unrooted and on stock software

It should work, but you need to root if you're on XXELLA or above
Sorry not that much of a techie :silly: what is XXELLA? So it doesn't need to be rooted? Because when i press change CSC it comes up with com.android.preconfig not found on your device and takes me to the dialer with *#272*1759# already punched in?? After ringing that I get Connection problem or invalid MMI code.

Xxella would be a 4.1.2 firmware.
It would look like your stock setup doesn't have a multi CSC setup so I'm not sure if you're able to change to BTU

if I am not wrong you need:
(1) be rooted to change the CSC
(2) after that you can use the tool mentioned before and/or flash a BTU rom
or maybe easier:
just flash the newest 4.3 rom version (you can do this without root as well I think)
Flash the latest 4.3 rom for the UK, using odin and following the guide in sticky thread.
Factory reset from recovery, reboot and csc should match the firmware.

I'm pretty sure this method will default the CSC to "KOR"
You want to flash the ELL4 U.K. firmware from the stock firmware thread. Download the S2/S3 CSC changer app from the play store and set the CSC to BTU.
This will factory reset the device, so make sure you have your important files backed up.
Then proceed to flash MK6 4.3. Now everything will match.

If you flash a untouched 4.3 rom thru odin it does not void the warranty. It will read official in Odin. At least on my phone it did. Like they said earlier they should have a uk version floating around somewhere. Otherwise just leave it alone and wait for the update. I hope that helps

2) If you are rooted, try editing this file /data/property/persist.radio.lteon file, set the content to "true" .

If you are rooted, then saving the EFS is highly recommended. If you want to update your phone but somewhere along the line you bricked it, im not responsible for all that you do. Please do more research before you try to flash the rom. And again, if you are rooted, you will not receive ota update via the phones, but you can update it via PC/Odin method if you want to.

Nope, just upgrade it normally.
Mate, you should be able to use your Aussie rom on it over in New Zealand. You might need their VPN settings for mobile internet but you shouldn't need to flash a new rom... For instance, I'm using a UK rom on my Aussie note 3 her in Oz.... I've used Polish and German too with no problem.
Most guys on the service desk know jack about this sort of stuff and might have been angling to sell you a new phone...
What's the point of having a phone to use all over the world if it doesn't work, especially in a next door neighbour country like New Zealand...
