Hello,
I have bough a Galaxy S4 I9505 from Vodafone spain which come with CSC ATL and would like to change it to CSC XEF (France).
I download the last rom from SamFirmware but I believe it's not the correct CSC as after flashing the ROM 2 times my phone has switch to UK CSC BLU...
Does any one can provide the French XEF stock ROM so I can go on with correct CSC for France.
Thanks for your help
Yann
EDIT : I also see the ROM in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 but it's the same link so same trouble

Then either try the other one (it happened the same for me for Luxembourg operators), or try to get the one dedicated for your operator
Finally handle this!
Finally handle this!
So I post the way I solve my problem maybe it can help somebody else.
1. Flash this firmware : I9505XXUAMDF I9505OXXAMD8 (XEF) and get the BTU CSC
2. Root the phone with motochopper (Work with this ROM)
3. Change the CSC using the app Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC
4. Phone reset it self with now chosen CSC
5. Update to last firmware using Kies which recognize the phone with chosen CSC (Lost root but I can't keep it due to professional application on my phone)
Does anyone has a valid link to download this version I9505XXUAMDN ?
Thanks.

I have already downloaded this file (it's the last firmware for my GT-I9508).
But, how I can extract the modem from these file !?
And how I can make it in .tar.md5 ?
Can I replace the file "modem.bin" in the french firmware by this one from the chinese firmware..? And then, flash the phone again by ODIN..?
I yes, I have another file to replace or only this one...? ("NON-HLOS.bin" file..?)
And if I do that, you think my WLAN will working after..?

open the md5 file (the firmware) with 7zip, you will find some images and files. right click on modem and NON-HLOS and copy them to your desktop.
and make them flashable with odin and flash it
if you dont know how to make it an odin file, upload it for me and i will make it for you (but it will take time...bad connection...)
I also have an i9508
Hi! I also have a rooted i9508 with fully functional Google software. Even though I am satisfied with the Google software, I want to somehow install i9505 firmware. I am American, so I'd need to download an English Firmware. If anyone is able to get i9505 firmware on the i9508 and have it fully functioning, please update me! Thank you!

Hello, thank you for your instructions, but I can not download the "Clockworkmod recovery", the file isn't available (the link is dead..)
Can I use this file : "CWM/i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4.tar" ?
Files
I would not recommend it, because my clockworkmod has been modded by a chinese modder. But here I have attached a 2 rar files. These have the same files inside but it's just that the file was too big so I had to split it in two. I hope this works.
They have same hardware. U can root your i9508 and try other i9505 roms. SuperDroid works fine. My i9508 works fine with Wanamlite 1.3.

The baseband version is : I9508ZMUAMDE
Sorry, but the screen shot didn't work !?
I see. Just install SuperDroid or other rom. But never install the rom for i9505 with Odin, otherwise the rom which contains modem file will break your phone .
PS, U can install Shadowsocks. Then you can browse twitter and facebook. They are blocked in China.

Hello all!
So, I have understand how I can built a new ROM for my samsung S4 GT-I9508... But before I will do it, I have some questions about the file in the original stockrom!
First, what are these files :
abbot.mbn
sbl3.mbn
tz.mbn
...There are not included in the french rom for the GT-I9505 !?
So, what I want to do, is too replace the "modem.bin" and "NON-HLOS.bin" from the ROM I9505 by these in the ROM I9508 !
And after that, I want to use ODIN to flash my GT-I9508 with this ROM...
My second question is, in witch order I have to make the new TAR file?
Thank you for your help !
Hi, Could someone kindly point me to a current link of splitFUS2 version 2.11 for linux, or PM me to send it to me. I have searched but can only find links to the now inaccessible hotfiles servers. I've tried the windows version (with cygwin) to no avail so would like to try the linux version. I have bricked my phone (GT-S5360T) which had a stock ROM for New Zealand (PDA: S5360TDOLJ1, CSC: S5360TTNZLJ1) so getting pretty desperate now.
TIA.
I guess there is the stock rom for the Telestra variant.Ask some devs out there about SplitFUS for linux and they will help you for sure.
Thanks aniket, I didn't see the Telstra variant. Will give it a go, failing that, I will ask in the Development forum.

I think you can. I have a j500f that have a firmware from Hungary (XEH). And I can still use it here in philippines and i can use any sim to to text or online. Just make sure u have the right ROM for that model of yours
Hey there,
i have a similiar "problem" :
A friend bought a SM-J500G (phillipines) on vacation, because his s6 edge died.
So now he is back in germany and wants me to flash the phone with the german firmware.
But because of the other model-id i can't just simply flash the german md5 file on the phone.
It always brings me the eboot fail with odin.
so, i am not new to flashing custom or stock roms, but i have never worked with models from other countries. Can somebody tell me what to do, to flash a stock rom from a completely other country on this phone ? Or do i need to flash a custom rom first ? Any help would be great.
exact plan : i would like to flash the J500FNXX firmware on the J500GXX phone.
problem : eboot fail while flashing with odin.
thanks in advance,
Harry ( sorry for my bad english, I am from germany )

I can't put J500FN into a J500G phone it just won't flash. Good job or it would have bricked your phone.
You need to get the correct firmware for your phone. Flash that first. Then if you flash recovery TWRP. Then you can flash your custom Rom.
You need to make sure that you have all the CORRECT files downloaded and ready on your pc to start.
If you look around the ROM & KERNEL thread you will find all the links that you need but make sure that you have the correct recovery for the custom Rom or it won't work.
Read the instructions that go with each Rom and it will tell you what you need and provide the links.
When 6.1 first came out it waa for a different country to mine (uk) I used it and had no trouble.
Hope this is of some help ?

Yes, so for now, i have installed a new custom ROM and it runs pretty well. But, i didn't notice, that there's also NO german language setting. ( I don't have a problem with that, but the person, who is the new owner... :/ )
So now I Just need to find a custom ROM for the SM-J500G , which has a german language setting for the whole system and supports the dual-sim-functionality.

I'm pretty sure that you can download a German language for the phone. I can definitely get one for the keyboard
Message the guy who made the ROM and ask him.
I'm sure he will help you out.
At least you got it running
