IMEI number - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I remember from older phones, you could find where your devices was made, by looking at the 7th and 8th digit of the IMEI. I want to buy a I9505 phone and I am concerned about the quality of the device, the 7th and 8th digits are 06 which means the phone was made in China.
Does this rule still applies?

just check the CSC code, using *#1234#
the letters in the middle shows you the version from the region,
ex.: I9505BTUFNB3
BTU stands for UK

I checked the IMEI with Samsung and they said that the phone is for France (I don't live there by the way). Also from what I know France has yet to receive 4.4.2 version. That means my phone will not update?

06 means This Year phones and can be from UK, but not from China coz they have I9500 not I9505

I have not bought the phone yet. Just asked for the IMEI number and checked it with Samsung

[Q] Software updates

Can you guys tell me if I'll have any problem getting software updates on an i9500 in a country that doesn't have them on official sale(like the i9505)Just asking as some of my friends tell me Sam has this sort of problem where you can't get soft updates if your phone wasn't designed for the country you live in.
Does nobody know if i'm gonna get updates on the i9500 if i'm located in a country where the i9505 is official?

it doesnt depend on your location or what is the "official variant" in your country. it depends on what is the product code of your phone (csc)
for example i live in Lebanon and i have India firmware on my phone, and i can still receive ota update when it comes to India

RegionLock

Hi,
I have a question.
My phone Note 3 AP: N9005XXUBMJ3
CP: N9005XXUBMJ2
CSC: N9005OXXBMJ3
So I rooted using Kingo, then applied the RegionLock Away, but the phone is still region locked.
Now I have a SIM from the region where the phone is, but no roaming.
My question is, is there a way to speak the 5 minutes on that sim without the roaming or money on it for that matter?
Or at least make it believe that I did it?
Just wild guessing.
Thx.

No roaming with an original-country SIM? That is strange.
What does this program say that the CSC currently is?

No roaming on the original country sim isn't that strange, some operators don't allow roaming unless you specifically request it.

I assumed that one was checked - meaning that the SIM roams in another phone it is OK. If it does not I do not see why he mentions it here.

My CSC is ROM (Romania).
I mentioned that is not activated, the roaming, because, if I had it, I could speak the 5 mins and the phone would be region unlocked.
PS Not any closer to a solution.

I am probably missing something - the roaming is not activated on the SIM or does not work on the phone? (or in other words - does the SIM work in another phone?)
If the SIM can not roam it is of no help, and even if it can you might STILL see unpleasant surprises (reported by plenty of users around - having problems even after doing the 5 minutes thing).
Have you tried posting in the the RegionLockAway thread so that Chainfire could have a chance to see what is wrong? MJ3 is clearly listed there are working so there might be only something minor that is missing, and Chainfire could be the guy that understands what is that thing missing.
I am not even asking if you have checked that the root is indeed working (with a root-checker or similar)
The alternative is to write directly to Samsung (mentioning your original warranty card and so on) and ask for a region-unlock code - I believe 2-3 users have reported success on that (after 2-4 weeks usually).

Region Lock
I have just bought a european N9005 with 4.3 with region lock in it. I am in india since india does not have N9005. I have decided to install 4.3 from Hong Kong on this phone as there is no region lock on Hong Kong N9005. will the region lock go away when i replace the european firmware with the Hong Kong Firmware
Thanks in Advance

I did replaced my region locked ROMania with BTU UK (supposedly region free) and the phone was still region locked. Only after updating the modem to an earlier version (from MJ3 to MJ1) was I able to use the regionlock away tool.
If I m not mistaken using region lock away tool means knox 0x1

Dear All, the question is very simple.
1. Does the region lock go away if a European region lock Firmware (unlocked cellular network N9005) is replaced with Singapore (no region lock) firmware.
2. Since MCC of sim is linked to CSC code which is also linked to the Product code which in turn links the modem software which embeds the black listed networks. we need clarity on it. if the Product code is the culprit then can we change the product code of European model to unlocked region product lets say singapore and then install the singapore firmware. will this remove the region lock.
3. Has any one tried the above two and got any answers. Developers please intervene.
Thanks in Advance..

1. If the firmware is equal, not less, and you are willing to take a small risk, but first do some research if this will not brick your phone, try it yourself. I would say no, but unless it is dangerous give it a try.
2. Too long for me, also too complex. Try it with the vets.
3. This is a thread started by me, so it is unlikely it has a great coverage. Try writing in some of the big threads or create a new one.
PS I will do anything I can to help, but all the info is in this post written also by me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50818287&postcount=566

N910U Hong Kong vs N910C Poland (question about firmware updates)

Over the years, I noticed that the firmware for the market to hong kong always remain a step backwards compared to those for the European market, in particular for Poland. Also for the Notes 4, the European market has got the firmware version ANJ4 while Hong Kong still have version ANJ3.
For these reasons I have not yet taken the N910U. I'm wrong?
Up!
For Note 10.1 updates for Polish firmware were always first or close to being first - at least in the beginnnng - (I have a theory that Samsung was using us as beta-testers ). But I don't know if it's true for other Samsung devices. Also there seems to be a big mess on our market with Note 4 - we can choose from versions C, U and F in different stores - but no store is 100% sure if we will get the version they state. There might be differences in times of updates for those various versions for Polish market too.... I chose C, but am not sure what I will get, really (it seems to be most available though, only one store had U).
Thank you Magnesus! Can you say me where can I buy the sm-n910c(an online store with paypal)? I'm in Italy.
I don't know, Polish stores usually don't ship abroad I think and no PayPal support. I bought mine at vobis.pl. We have quite high prices too so I wouldn't recommend buying from Poland.
Yes the prices are very high ,I have seen them here: http://geizhals.eu/samsung-galaxy-note-4-n910c-schwarz-a1161556.html
Still thanks!
Regards
i have the N910U one..and as u can see in sammobile N910U and N910C are up to date till now ..so i think samsung will make all equal from now on i think?
and i checked it N910U build date is 6th october, and N910C in 8th october..

Yes, but I'm in Europe(Italy). With Poland rom I have always found italian language on all items, settings menu, keyboard, etc .. Instead, with my old galaxy s4 Exynos(for Asiatic market) one time I had flashed another rom(more updated) but the keyboard and some voices of the menu was in Korean/Chinese, no italian and no English. In another words, with Poland rom I'm (almost)sure that the language fit my needed.

[Q] SM-N910C LTE not working in UK

Hi guys,
I am new to Samsung but like many I was tempted by the Note 4. I bought my Note 4 in Dubai (unlocked and not tied to any provider) but when I tried using it in the UK with a UK SIM (EE) I am not able to make/receive calls when set on LTE/WCDMA/GSM but I can when I select GSM Only. Samsung UK is not interested, Samsung Dubai poit me towards Samsung Egypt (because apparently this is an Egypt region phone) and Samsung Egypt do not understand what my problem is and keep sending my region unblock codes when the phone is not region locked.
Has anyone had this before and if yes what did you do to fix this?

CP: N910CXXU1ANK5

I have been reading a lot about rooting and flashing ROMs but being new to this I am not confident enough to get into all that. I hope there is a solution without the need for rooting !!!

SIM works on my HTC One and 4G signal here good so I do not think it is the SIM. I updated firmware two days ago using Kies but no change. I am starting to suspect some sort of network blacklisting by Samsung but not sure. I also spoke to my network provider and problem not with them.
I want to test the phone in Middle East first to make sure that it is not some hardware fault bit if not my only option may be rooting and flashing different ROMs. I am also hoping that Lollipop may solve it but no way to get it now as I am not rooted yet.

Download Samsung phone info from play store, check your region, also you can check knox warranty is void? U can also check refurbishment check from same app, seems to me u purchased online, not from authorised store of dubai.

Thanks for the screenshots. I compared with yours and it is now even more clear that mine is an Egypt phone. Do you know if I can flash the UAE firmware on my phone with or without rooting and if that would work so that the CP, SP and CSC are the same as yours rather than the Egypt ones?

my friends have this similar problem and its fix
This is how "you need a working sim from the country when you buy the samsung phone"
all you have to do is make a international call for 15 minutes to the original country
example u bought the phone in egypt so u need a working egypt simcard just call the operator in egypt and listen to the operator for 15 minuts from UK after 15 minutes (make it 20 minutes just in case) turn off your phone and change it with the UK sim card
this method works for me
u dont need to flash or root the phone
just remember this method only work with samsung unlock phones from middle east

Android 10 Being Released!

Android 10 has been released for EE UK. (not multi-CSC ufortunately)
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s10-5g/firmware/SM-G977B/EVR/download/G977BXXU2BSL2/306142/
It's not a multi-CSC region firmware, so only flash this you already have the EE UK CSC on your device.
It's a good sign though, hopefully we'll start seeing more come through anytime now! :fingers-crossed:
All I'm waiting for is any multi-CSC firmware to get it, any country will do. Then it's flashing time!
I flash it 2 days back as soon as it dropped out on my Phone from Australia csc TEL without wiping the phone. And it's working just fine but have to restart phone 1 time because of the lag other than that all else is great.
Yea, you won't be on TEL CSC. It's not a Multi-CSC firmware.
If you go Settings > About > Software Information >
Under Service Provider SW version, on the bottom line, if it was Telstra and/or Multi-CSC, you would see TEL/TEL/TEL, indicating Telstra for all 3.
But I bet you don't see this, and you're seeing EVR or something for one of them.
Yes, now i have EVR,EVR,TEL. But what's the harm in it if we want to enjoy android 10 before it relasese for our Provider?

CSC is “Consumer Software Customization” or “Country Specific Code“. Region specific customisation. It's all in the name really.
You get no carrier or region specific network or phone customisation, such as VOLTE (quite a significant thing now), no wifi calling, and issues with other things customised for the Aussie network (4G+ etc). The phone will work as a basic S10 device, but you do miss out on things, other than those I listed, as I've tried before as a test.
But if you simple want to have a play as a test, and are willing to miss out on the more advanced features of 4G+ etc, then that's your choice.

No, Volte is gone after flashing this firmware. But i am using a Optus prepaid sim card and volte never worked with it anyway.
Android 10 out for 3 more new countries but unfortunately all 3 are non Multi-CSC regions.
Got it from this morning. Vodafone branded. Love it. Very smooth

Can you guys check if the sammobile is working for you for s10 5g firmware download? It is down for me just for 5g since morning. Anyway i just check on samfirm app and android 10 is available for BTU CSC.
BTU downloads slowly using Frija for me, just did a test. Note that BTU is another UK CSC. Just like the other I posted in the OP, it's not an Aussie compatible CSC. We still need to wait for OXM multi CSC.
EDIT:
Sorry, BTU is OXM - this will work for us! I'm grabbing it now using Frija!
I know its muti that's why i mentioned it. Samfirm was working fine for me. Yeah, give frija a try if samfirm is slow for you.
Checked for update on my s10 5g on Vodafone after seeing this thread, updated to 10. Been waiting for awhile to get my update also received update on my xperia 1 today.
The experience on samsung seems better and more noticable update.

Yea, you won't be on TEL CSC. It's not a Multi-CSC firmware.
If you go Settings > About > Software Information >
Under Service Provider SW version, on the bottom line, if it was Telstra and/or Multi-CSC, you would see TEL/TEL/TEL, indicating Telstra for all 3.
But I bet you don't see this, and you're seeing EVR or something for one of them.

BTU downloads slowly using Frija for me, just did a test. Note that BTU is another UK CSC. Just like the other I posted in the OP, it's not an Aussie compatible CSC. We still need to wait for OXM multi CSC.

Wasn't aware of this though, BTE is also another UK CSC unless modified like myself. Let me know if you have the recording feature (located in qs) on BTU.

I flash it 2 days back as soon as it dropped out on my Phone from Australia csc TEL without wiping the phone. And it's working just fine but have to restart phone 1 time because of the lag other than that all else is great.

I did the same but noticed plenty of bugs and odd behaviour not present after reformatting, keep that in mind if you run into issues.
