I recently re-installed the stock firmware on my Galaxy S4, because I wanted to get the newest version, which I previously couldn't as I was rooted. And I noticed when It booted, it now has a Carrier logo of THREE on the boot screen. Was this added in 4.4.2? I could only find carrier versions of the firmware online, and no others, so I picked my carrier. If there is any online that are not linked to a carrier could I get a link please?
GT-I9505 - Is the model

yeah of course, all you gotta do is download the correct firmware through sammobile.com. just select your country with no carrier

1. Conect it to Kies 3 and verify your CSC like in pic attached below.
2. Knowing your CSC you can go to Sammobile.com and download the correct firmware for ur phone. The firmware will be without carrier logos if your phone is unlocked.
3. Tell me your CSC if u are confused and i will help telling you the correct firmware for ur device

thank you
No, you can just put the file downloaded from Sammobile into the "PHONE" (or "PDA") area.
the firmware version of your phone should be on the original box with the IMEI , if you have the box go for it

Hi Mate
CSC stands for Customer Service Country , it gives you country/carrier specific configuration like language , carrier network settings ( like fastdormacy)
Is good to have but you can live without it.
Does that mean i can download any software from sammobile and install it without any problem??

Hi ,
In most cases yes , you may not have your language available or miss a network specific configuration but it should work ...

Yes.
But do not try network specific roms or firmwares of some different model.
Example: i9500 stock firmware wont work with i9505. You will brick your device.
Rest any i9500 rom will work with i9500.
I'm using a russian i9500 firmware on my Indian i9500, and it works better than the rest
Press Thanks if I helped

This firmware don't exist. It's better know what CSC you own and flash the correct firmware for your device. Installing this APP you can know your CSC. Add some screenshot if you need more help :fingers-crossed:
screenshot
Hi I've attached the screenshot but I have no idea what it means. I have already flashed it to AT&T in USA and it is not enabling me to use the Sim card that was previously working in it. I know how to flash it but I just don't know what firmware I should be using and where to find it. Thanks for any help in advance.
Do you have the original box? If so, you should find the full model number on a label. It will say GT-I9500ZKAXXX, where XXX will be three letters. Those three letters will be the CSC of the phone. If not, it is possible to determine the carrier using the phone's IMEI and this site. Once we know the carrier or the CSC of the phone it's possible to get you the right ROM for the phone, assuming of course that you haven't totally screwed yourself by installing the AT&T firmware on it. AT&T and Verizon both encrypt the bootloader of the device, and removing the bootloader by flashing the correct ROM through Odin may not work because of the encryption.

Well, i think isn't possible see an i9500 with CSC: ATT (maybe is a SGH-i337). But I dunno. I hope he can add more screenshots for confirm it.
Hey Guys!
I have a question regarding stock roms. I've been looking at SamMobile for an official release of Lollipop here in Philippines, the only download I can see is for a local carrier Globe. Will it cause problems if I flash this on my international N9005?
I also want to ask the same question for an S4 I9505, but it's the other way around; the phone is from Globe, network locked, and I am thinking of flashing an international version ROM. Will this cause problems? I know this isn't the right forum but just in case someone would like to answer.
Thank you!

1. Yes, you will have problems with the radios. It's not importat where you live that what CSC have your device. Install this APP and look for your CSC. Go to Sammobile.com, look for your csc, download and flash the latest stock rom for your device via ODIN. (Pic attached)
2. Regarding GT-i9505: Yes, it will cause lose of signal. The best you can do is unlock it by IMEI.

I flashed a rom from Brazil. Everything works great it's just that the bloatware included is annoying. I figured the best option to flasha ROM from my country but the only one with a Lollipop ROM is carrier specific.
Samsung allows users to use roms from their own region interchangeably. In most cases, even globally.
I've never encountered issues with radio or signal loss when flashing different providers and countries in my own region, and I've had thousands of people flash and use all sort of different EU firmwares. (you can find the region on the sticker on the box.)
(US users have different devices with real carrier locks, so those are excluded.)

I recently bought a used S8 from a friend, it's all great and I am liking it so far but I wanted to root it and install a custom rom on it, or flash the stock One UI rom at least.
So I was looking around and see which carrier phone it is, since I am not in US so it didn't matter to me
I went into Download Mode and the carrier there says TMB but if I search the baseband version (G950USQS5CRF5) on the google, it says its Verizon, so I am confused that which carrier version is my phone exactly.
and can I just flash the stock One UI rom (for TMobile) ignoring the version that I have.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong section.

So can I just download the official Pie rom that is for TMobile and install it?
Or do I have to use this method that you sent before flashing any rom even if its stock?

No put your tmobile sim in and it should auto select its own csc which is for carrier selection and reboot. If not download the latest firmware from sammobile and select the tmobile one and flash.
These devices are awesome at selecting on their own. My wife's rebooted and installed verizons csc all on it's own
Should be a screen says new sim inserted please restart to use

There is a multi csc file you can flash in odin that bassicly selects itself upon new sim insertion
Just flashed the latest version of Android 11, and it works flawlessly. Just have to install a Rogers CSC to it and you'll get 5G aswell.
My phone says it is now a N986U device instead of N986W.
If you have any questions, post them.

How?
The 986W version isn't going to be released until Jan 5th so you can download the 986U version from this site and install it with ODIN. Don't do this if you don't understand how to use tools like this, especially if you like your phone...

Did you have to change your CSC? Did you pick HOME for your CSC during the download? I noticed the *#272*IMEI# method to change your CSC doesn't work on the NOTE 20. Regardless, I see my phone still sees 5G. CSC right now is OYN??

Sorry for the late reply. I found the Rogers CSC by googling "Rogers Note 20 ultra Rogers Stock firmware"
I downloaded the whole 6gb file, but only used the Home_CSC from Rogers and used it with ODIN after I got the ATT update.
Have had no issues at all, and One UI 3.0 is a blessing.
