i9500 question? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I bought an i9500 of eBay here in the UK from a UK seller, got the phone turned it on to find the language in Turkish or similar, managed to factory reset etc but even then first language was Turkish, I changed to English but occasionally Turkish boxes etc will pop up so I can only assume the phone has Turkish Firmware on it.
I want to put stock UK firmware on but have discovered most are for the i9505, can't find an UK firmware for this phone. Can I put i9505 firmware on?

Hi ,
You are right there are not stock rom for your region this model phone was not released in Europe ( does not have 4G LTE) , other than that it works great , regarding the lenguage you have options :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
Install that app , with it you can change the CSC (Consumer Software Customization) this is country specific and configures some special features for the phone like the language and carrier specific configuration.

Iran: ---> THR
Iraq: ---> MID
Ireland: ---> 3IE, MET, OXA*, OXX*, VDI, O2I
Israel: ---> CEL, ILO, MIR, PCL, PTR
Italy: ---> FWB, GOM, HUI, ITV, OMN, OXA*, TIM, VOM, WIN, XET
There are the codes for Ireland , run the program and find the option to change the CSC before you do make a backup when you do a CSC change it will do a factory reset.
If by any chance the CSC code of Ireland is not in the phone you may have to flash a custom rom with multi CSC that may allow to chose your country.
I use Omega Rom is 100% stock and is multiCSC
Good luck

OK I am having issues here, Sure my firmware has multi csc, problem is none of the countries listed are anywhere near UK or Ireland, is there no way of flashing the UK and Ireland CSC seperate?

Not that i know , the best i can think of is flashing a rom with an english speaking country CSC....

Use an Indian firmware, either INU or INS. It's completely in English and also these 2 regions tend to get the new updates 1st. Download from sammobile.com and use Odin to flash

[Q] Keyboard languages gone after flashing, downgrade not helping

Hi guys,
Being addicted to fiddling with all my devices, I flashed my Tab with newer firmware than what was originally in (XXJH3).
My Tab was bought in Norway, and had norwegian/swedish/danish keyboard options both for Swype and for Samsung keyboard.
After flashing, they are all gone. Also tried reflashing to XXJH3 (going from JJ4 which is the only full firmware on samfirmware.com), but they will not come back.
Any suggestions? I've tried alot of things, like purposedly "bricking" it and let Kies try restore original firmware (which doesn't work as it won't recognise it as a device needing recovery or upgrade), or flash more or less all of the firmwares on samfirmware.com, but nothing seems to contain these languages.
Does anyone have a working Windows registry entry for the device for Kies which is older and will allow a Kies flash?
Or does anyone know of a way to add these languages back manually?
try to instal jk5 from samfirmware.com. it's quite fast and you will find languages there.
i had similar problem.
I have JK5 on at the moment, and the languages are not there.
They are there for the whole device, so I can set my device to be any language, but there's only a limited amount of languages for the Swype and Samsung Keyboard, no longer including scandinavian languages.
anyone been able to solve this.. ? i have the same problem..
want to get it back to stock after trying to update the fw. and now the swedish keyboard is gone. tried everything i can think of. would apreciate the help if possible.
the best thing would probably be to get the stock fw (pda,csc,phone) that u flash with odin... anyone with it ?
Have you try starting from JHA? Then JID.
Other think, chan you try to check if your country code is still the same?
*#272*yourIMEI#
Mine said KOR, I thought it was supposed to be XEU? But don't really know what it was originally.
I changed it to XEU, and it automatically did a factory reset of the device.
After, at least Samsung Apps License Agreement came in a scandinavian language
Still no new languages for keyboard input though, might be they were stripped in the flash? Or not at all in the firmware version.
I suspect it may be only in the HUGE hidden.rfs in the JJ3 firmware, but no idea how to get that back and never been able to flash JJ3 successfully.
same here.. it said kor.. now it's probably atleast one step closer to solving thins thing...
Guys KOR is Korean, so you have to change it to your country, but do a backup before because when u change it will do automatically the factory reset.
About the keyboard, do you have just one language or more?
i have 10 languages at keyboard.. nederlands, englishm french, german, italian, chinese kind of thing, polish, portugese, spanish, turkish,.. but no swedish

Same to me, with ITV product, I think it is firmware related.Why don't you try installing the one in the JH3 (extract it from the factory.fs)?
I changed again according to some table I found at samfirmware.com, where it said "CP" was scandinavian code - so mine is now set to "CPW".
I also tried extracting the Swype.apk from JH3 and installing that (mounted readwrite system partition), but it made my Swype crash constantly and upon reboot the original version was back in.
I've not really experimented much with replacing system packages though.
cant we get a clean dump from someone.. ? or is it not possible to do a dump ?

I have the same problem with Swedish keyboard disappearing after JM6.
Found a list of country codes over at Samfirmware called "samsung official letter code" where there are three-letter codes for a lot of countries.
CPW is listed as a code for the UK.
For Sweden the following codes are listed:
BAU = SWEDEN
BCN = SWEDEN
BME = SWEDEN
BSG = SWEDEN
BTH = SWEDEN
COV = SWEDEN
HTS = SWEDEN
SEN = SWEDEN
TET = SWEDEN
TLA = SWEDEN
XEE = SWEDEN
VDS = SWEDEN
TNO = SWEDEN
I am at work and donĀ“t have the Tab with me to try and see if any of the codes where listed on the *#272*yourIMEI# dialogue. Will try it later this evening.
Hm but KOR isn't even in that list, however XEU and CPW are listed as UK...
Norway is TEN, it's not available in the list on the phone.
what we probaly need is a original csc file.. for scandinavia...
It would be nice if we could solve this, I really miss the samsung keyboard and swype.

Multi CSC without Scandinavia?

I purchased my Galaxy Tab in a Swedish store, but unfortunately it was parallel imported from somewhere else.
I have seen that I should be able to change CSC to match my country but after entering the *#272*IMEI# code neither CTL for Denmark or XEE for Nordic countries is displayed.
How can I change to the right are?
Do I need another firmware?
My current one is JJ7
I do have Danish locale and UI but not Swype / dictionary etc

omnia 7 german no brand

hi to all
i have an omnia 7 german no brand, yesterday i have flashed rom using
CSC_Cetus_Europe_I8700XENJK1, when phone restart is in english and not in germany, i have try to set language and region "germany", but after hard reset phone restart in english, there is a way to start it in German, maybe i need to flash another rom?
sorry for my english
thank you
anyone can help me?
You need to reflash your phone with the correct CSC. The one you used has XEN in it which means it has a CSC file with region settings for the Netherlands.
So you have to look for another CSC file which has German region settings in it.

today i have found this rom: I8700DBTJK1 i have flashed and phone start in german
thanks
It was also possible to just flash the CSC file and not the entire ROM. By only dragging the CSC file into the flash APP. That way you didn't have to reset your device.

Need PIT for German (T-Mobile) February 4.4.2 OR compatible (vodafone - other countr

I flashed 4.4.2 the Polish leak...
To flash the branded version it needs to be repartitioned first - I have read its the same with Vodafone branded ones in other countries, too
I would need the Germany (T-Mobile) pit file - or any 4.4.2 T-Mobile or Vodafone PIT file even from an other country if compatible
Anyone, please?
Cant wait for the standard German ROM
