Well, there is significant difference/ B is the second letter, while the T is on the end somewhere, so it is letter of misery. If I'd be you, I'd look for the premium file, which would have the AAA code.
Of course, if you'd have a spare 2 minutes, you can use mysterious tool here. Click the second link, and you will have the mystery explained.
P.S. Good Lord, how I'm missing the times when kiddos were given bikes for Christmas...

This method to chnage CSC doesn't seem to work for S4
*#272*IMEI# then change the CSC to BTU
Will BTU or TSI make any difference for my APN (Access Point Name) settings for data connection?
The reason I want to get my stock rom is because I want to flash my phone with Android 4.4.2 I9505XXUFNB9 Firmware and I want to be able to go back just in case something goes wrong with KitKat

Go back......lol

1. Where, for the Goddess' sake, have I mentioned that you shall/can change the CSC???
2. The link, I pointed you to, is giving clear response to your previous question about: what is the difference in the code.
3. If you are planning to update from 4.3 to 4.4.2 you can forget about the downgrade because of new bootloader (you have my personal permission to look for that in General).
Last but not least: I went through your logic in questions you wrote. I am not interested, what drugs are you taking, but it would be nice if you could provide your delaer's contact..

My Lord I don't do drugs just enjoy Cuban cigars
VDI (IRELAND)
Country code BTU seems to be an unbranded firmware which is not in the list of country codes. Also one of the many advantages to having BTU as far as I see the carriers get the update first
However, the structure seems to have changed for the S4.
CSC: I9505BTUEMK5
BTU= UK unbranded
E = ???
MK5 = Build number
(M is the 13th character of the alphabet and K is the 11th, so it is Nov 13 version 5);
Good point about the new bootloader

1st is year, 2nd is month & 3rd is date so MK5 is 2013/11/05 so NB9 would be 2014/02/09
That's how the date is calculated ?

By asking for your dealer contact, I meant exactly what I wrote: the logic of your questions. To be specific, in your first post, you have asked for the DIFFERENCES between "CSC: I9505TSIEMK5" and "My Galaxy has CSC: I9505BTUEMK5".
Could you kindly direct me to the point, where the E is any difference for the example given by you?
And you say that you're able to do this without any drugs? You are saving a lot of money, I'd say.

You are right. Perhaps I should have asked why I couldn't find my firmware I9505BTUEMK5 under Ireland as for vodafone VDI
It seems than when you get the Samsung here the first day all of them are coming with the unbranded firmware from UK and also unlocked as my last three Samsungs
I didn't know which firmware was TSI in Ireland but google is my great Lord

Still not fully convinced over installing Kitkat after what you mentioned no being able to go back and the problem using an app that attempts to access the SD card to either modify, delete or create a new file, that app will be denied access to doing such a thing

Who is trying to force you for the upgrade??? About the SD card access, there is a nice thread in General section which provides easy to apply solution.
However, once again, I'm not saying that you SHALL or SHOULD upgrade.
Personally, I have just upgraded mine to 4.3, because I found the method of rooting without knox triggering.

4.3 downloading now uk LONDON

think im just getting the 409.31mb download of 4.3 gonna take 20 mins.
just updating ,,updating locations known
I got it last night. Let us know if:
1) you find the response to the "on" button can be a bit slow
2) you manage to have any success getting ANT+ to work.
I was looking forward to ANT+ support based on comments on loads of websites but it doesn't appear to be there. thisisant.com pretty much confirmed that last night when I asked by email.
Lol mate that's just 4.3. Just checked Sammobile and 4.3 for UK is rolling out today.

Downloading for me in West Sussex. If it makes any difference, my S3 is "unbranded" and I am on the three network.
UPDATE: Update Package downloaded, but "failed to install", so it's trying again and re-downloading the package!
Does this build also have the wake up delay bug like previous releases?

You can install without any problem. The worst that could happen is that you have to install new modem or the build not supporting English (I Highly doubt it).

yes :good: worry not
Still no joy for me - two downloads and two failed attempts to install new firmware, so it looks as though I am stuck on 4.1.2 for a bit longer. It says I can try again via Kies, rather than using the OTA method. Never used Kies before, but it doesn't look as thought I have much to lose.
Has the update worked ok for others?

[Q] Need advise about flashing an older ROM for my Note3

Good day guys! I'm new here at XDA, and with all this csc, rooting and flashing of roms thing and I just wanted to ask something about it.
I recently bought my friend's note 3 which originally had the Malaysian Rom (XME).. but before he sold the phone to me, he told me that he had updated/flashed the Singaporean Rom (MM1) on the phone.. I just wanted to ask, is it still possible to go back to the original XME Rom even though he had already flashed a newer MM1 Rom?? Would the phone still work as it should be with no problems/issues?? I hope someone could help me on this.. Many thanks guys!

You can try but if it starts looping reflashing the Singaporean rom should fix it.
Boot-looping just means it has a newer bootloader in this case. If possible I would suggest to make a backup of your EFS folder.

Thanks for the info mate! I'm now actually tempted to try what you have just said, but i worry about the backing up and restoring of EFS part.. It sounds hard and complicated. I think I'll just wait for an updated Malaysian Rom (XME) and then flash that one.. just to be on the safe side.. Cheers!
May i ask what happens if you try to downgrade to an old firmware?
You'll bootloop because the bootloader won't be able to boot it.

if your phone has been rooted AND if your friend had flashed the Singaporean Rom by using Mobile Odin Pro, you can fallback to the older firmware. Because the old bootloader was preserved by Mobile Odin Pro.
So ask your friend which tool he had used to flash the firmware.
BTW, why do you want to fallback to the older firmware? May be you notice some differences between XME and MM1 roms?

Hi..he said he never rooted the phone, he just flashed the MM1 rom because he wanted a newer rom on the phone. To be honest, I don't really know why I want to go back to the XME rom.. maybe because that was the original rom that the phone came with and I want the phone to be in it's original state again?
Plus.. when I connect to Kies, it says something about my phone not being supported for firmware updates.. and my csc is still XME and not MM1 which is the Singaporean Rom. I guess I just want my phone to go back to XME so that I can use firmware update on Kies..
Ok so you need to wait until XME has at least ML2 version and flash. No other choice.
IMO, from the point of usage, there is no major difference between XME and MM1 release. Btw, MM1 always has the newest firmware than XME.

MK/ML can downgrade to MJ7 - for whatever reason Samsung allowed it, assume it is because they closed whatever security loop and have deemed MJ7 the safest bootloader to fall back to.

so i can flash 02uk mj7 over btu mk2 without any issues?
the battery drain on mk2 btu is horrible, and im guessin 02 wouldnt release firmware without testing it properly
By the way, I was able to flash XSI Mj7 over SER MK2. I did it by wiping system partition in TWRP, after which flashing went through with no issue

Yeah I was able to do it.. no wipe, no factory reset.. I just flashed it with odin, and all my files/settings are still there! Some people commented here that it was not possible but for some reason it worked.. I just thought that if I encounter any bootloops I'll just flash the MM1 Rom again.. luckily I didn't have to. :laugh:

(you can get this info by open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, select menu --> CSC Lookup and search for the 'OJV')
So you don't know what exactly your csc is.
Instead, in your previous post, you know exactly your csc is XSI. So the download link for your firmware on sammobile is:

If the phone is unlocked he just has to flash the latest Saudi KSA rom, but apart from the CSC file they are probably identical

Yes I see, but I think the OP will prefer flashing the firmware from the 'Original' CSC
Why can't I do it OTA? If so..

The latest available firmware for XSI is ENC2 (KitKat 4.4.2).
Go to Menu --> 'Firmware Browser...' to get the download link for this firmware, then flash it via Odin.

This will happen if ur device status is modified.
U can check it on download mode.
I post this somewhere but I forgot where
Happened to few of my friends owning note 3 export europe set (bought in singapore). But no big issue, since I can flash stock through odin.

he have the note 3 with xsi not sin
Firmware OTA updates depends on region. Like in US it 1st releases and after few time in other countries one by one due to localization. Also it depends on career those have taken locked version under contract, like Verizon released the 4.4 in May where I got it many month back, even another latest firmware update recently.
So check google news, for your region or check other phones in your region. If they provides you will definitely get it. If others got it then contact Samsung.

I know. But shld not be a problem mate.
Mine is BTU. I flashed so many region alrd : DBT, XSI, SIN and BTU itself.
All run well.
Since I m flashing with odin, I don't really care abt region.
Worst case (if happen, so far never), just flash csc of ur own region.

Yes mate. Pain in the ass when u wipe to clean.
OTA got bad habit. Happened. To 2 of my friends already. They do OTA, enjoying it with data still intact. One day, all of sudden phone freeze, reboot, auto wipe. Puff, all gone.
Another one more also same. Freeze, never reboot auto, just stay freezing, phone very hot, unplug battery, boot and stuck at Samsung logo. Finally factory reset as well. Both can't save their data.
This happened. To my friends who do OTA from 4.3 to 4.4.2 but dun want to wipe.

[Q] Which KitKat after a move?

I've got the following identifiers for my phone:
AP: I9505XXUEND1
CP: I9505XXUEND1
CSC: I9505TELENC1
I've moved from Australia (Telstra) to the US (AT&T). I'm on Jellybean, and rooted so that I could do backups with Titanium Backup. I've started to have stability issues where SystemUI crashes occasionally, and at a rate of about once daily. I haven't been able to identify the cause of the problem. Seems like aLogger only shows me logs when I start it up, which I usually only do after a crash.
I'm considering making a move to KitKat. However, I'm not even sure if there is an upgrade out there for me. I don't see one for either Australia or US. Anyone know if there's an appropriate one for me? And while I'm at it, should I consider changing my baseband from the Telstra one to an AT&T one?
Thanks for your advice.

Hi ,
you can upgrade to any firmware you want , in the USA they S4
You could flash this for example, i mean for the english

That is the latest firmware for the I9505 ....BUT is not possible to root with towelroot to avoid knox warranty bit tripping ( you have to re root after flashing with odin)
you could flash something a little bit older like , so you can root

Regarding the frequencies not 100% sure , AT&T has some frequencies that the I9505 does not work with so it may depends on the specific frequency in where you are at check this:
