Hi,
Anyone pls help me. I need the official PDA, MODEM and CSC files for my Galaxy S. I tried flashing it and by mistake i chose wrong CSC and MODEM files. Since Froyo is officially launched in India, i want to install the official version through KIES. But I think i just messed up with the wrong files.
Pls help..

I referred to the same thread and flashed my SGS with this link
ASIA
I9000TGYJH1|2.1|2010 August|Download
Now the phone language is Chinese.! I think the MODEM and CSC files for India are different.
Pls help.

2.1 = Eclair anyway.. think the ones for India are in:
I9000DDJP6|2.2|2010 November

try to change csc from phone
type *#272*IMEI#
where imei is your imei code, from there select your csc, phone will reboot and make a factory reset.

Tried changing CSC from phone..
It says "UNKOWN APPLICATION" after entering the code.

Any help corgar?

Firmware version - 2.2
Baseband version - I9000DDJP2
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number - FROYO.DDJP6
i guess this is indian version of froyo

I9000DDJP6|2.2|2010 November|Download Link1 or Link2
but i can't check if it's a full package, if not you need to flash first another full rom like jm9 then upgrade to ddjp6

Thanks corgar,
I am downloading the same package. Lets see if it has the MODEM and CSC.

another way you can take is using kies registry hack here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
choose your csc and patch registry. After open kies and try to flash. But for me kies is evil i still prefer flashing via odin

after some searching product code for indian is I9000 [India] = GT-I9000HKAINU
you need to patch INU then.
hope this will help

Downloaded the I9000DDJP6 firmware but it doesn't have MODEM and CSC.
Downloaded the KIES Registry hack and Spoofed it to INU. Which you said is India.
Now KIES says Firmware upgrade is available. And its showing,
Latest Version: PDA:JP6 / PHONE:JP2 / CSC:JP5
Is it correct? Is this the one for India?

try to search in general section but i think it's the indian one.

Its kind of weird that i m spoofing KIES to India only and it says Update available and without spoofing it says no update. Kies is really evil...!

Checked in the general section. Its the same PDA:JP6 / PHONE:JP2 / CSC:JP5 for India.
Dont know why i cant update without Registry Hack.! Weird.
Thanks Corgor for your time and help.
Have a good day.!

The one you downloadedis a single package if its named JP6_JP5_U_JP2.tar. You need to put in in PDA in Odin with re-partition checked & flash.

Thanks Ragin and Corgar, the issue is solved now. I m back on Froyo.
But the usual problem of SGS is not fixed. "Lagging"! Any help which lag fix i should install? I searched a got many results but since i am new in this, dont want to take risk again.
Thanks for the help..!

Search for a kernel and flash it as pda in odin. I'm on speedmod atm. Enter recovery and choose lagfix and tweaks.

Search for hardcore's speedmod kernel in DEV. download the latest stable Odin version. Put your phone into download mode & flash via Odin. Pull the battery, & go into recovery, & apply first the Tweaks. Reboot & check if you are satisfied with the snappiness/speed. I am sure you will be. If not, go into Recovery again & enable lagfix.
You can also try Trasig's kernel based on VooDoo.

Hi,
Are you talking about upgrade from stock 4.3 to stock 4.4.2? if so there is no need to root , just go to Sammobile.com find the rigght firmware and flash it ( Odin)

Thanks!
On SAM Mobile now.
How do i find out which country the phone belongs to along with knowing the correct firmware to get?
I should note i got the phone from Australia, however i cannot see Australia in the firmware list for GT-I9505.
Thanks
Just an update.
Not sure if its possible to flash to 4.4 because I've just been on SAMMobile.
Clicked on FIRMWARE
Then clicked Check Your Firmware.
Which i did. The phone is unlocked so i just chose vodafone.
Then it directs me to a 2013 update which is android 4.3.
So does that mean i can't get one for 4.4？

Hi mate ,
For Australia seems like the newest firmware is 4. 3 but you can flash a firmware from other " similar" countries like UK , check other countries that you may consider closer to yours
for example
BTU means unbranded
Model: GT-I9505
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE
Country: United Kingdom
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 481100
Build date: Fri, 14 Feb 2014 03:15:30 +0000
Product Code: BTU
PDA: I9505XXUFNB9
CSC: I9505BTUFNE1
MODEM: I9505XXUFNB9
CSC: I9505BTUFNE1
Language is similar and if the modem gives you problems ( it should not) you can always flash ( odin) another the only thing you may lose would be maybe any specific carrier service that is on your current carrier rom you have in your phone and your CSC will be from UK ( in this case)

You can try installing Kies 3 Connecting your phone and see if it promotes an Update

Ok guys thank you.
So if i were to get the latest UK one. How likely is it my sim would still work in it?
I currently use vodafone in AU and uk also has vodafone. So would i be better off getting a vodafone uk firmware or just an unlocked one?
Cos the s4 is actually unlocked already.
If you could perhaps link me to the correct firmware id really appreciate it. I just really dont wanna screw this up.
Any info you require i can give you. I know for sure it is a GT-I9505 and that it was purchased unlocked in australia.
Thank you.

Hi,
Sim will work ok
Your choice vodafone or unbranded should be fine ( unbranded is newer) , unbranded ( no carrier stuff on it) has nothing to do with network lock
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=30963 (vodafone)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31852 ( unbranded)
back up your app , data , contacts , pictures , music and use this app to make a backup of your EFS folder ( there is your imei info) just in case
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock&hl=en

Thanks so much for that! Awesome.
And to update it with the uk firmware, do i just refer to this guide?

hi
they basically say the same ...... there is only one way to flash stock , in your case you do not need to flash the PIT file
from sammobile:
Instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes

Ok thats everything i need thanks so much.
Just one last question.. Can this process be done using a mac or am i better off using an XP based machine?
Thanks guys

Hi ,
Odin is windows based , it should work in a XP machine as long as the samsung usb drivers are updated

Ok cool.
I will use an XP based machine.
Ok so i now have odin and i now have the 1.54GB firmware package.
I can do the update as per the instructions.
But you suggested getting the latest USB Drivers for my device...
How would I find these drivers?
Is it just a matter of having the latest Kies right??
Thank you.

1. Install Kies 3, it will autimaticly update all Samsung Drivers to the latest version
2. Connect your phone to the PC
3. Shut down Kies 3 and unconnect your Smartphone from PC
4. Boot in Download Mode on Your Phone
5. Open Odin 3.09
6. Connect Phone to the PC
7. Select AP and than search the tar.md5 file
8. Hit Flash if the button turns blue

Thanks for the help.

[Q] N9005 "No Service" need help to troubleshoot

Hey All,
I got a Note 3 N9005, which supposedly was purchased in UAE.
Currently trying to use it in India, but, the device always says "No Service", with a crossed circle instead of network signal icon on notification bar.
Phone is on 4.2.2 with UGNH1. Below are some observations:
- Phone does NOT ask for any PIN / Unlock Code.
- In Settings > Status.. irrespective of any SIM, or no SIM.. Mobile Network Type = Unknown, Service State= Out of service, Mobile Network State=Disconnected.
- Orig CSC code is displayed as XTC from Phone Info App
- Tried to select a different CSC from CSC Select app.. it changed the boot logo but, network status.. still crossed circle
- IMEI is proper as printed below the battery
- Still i tried ChainFire's RegionLockAway. But, as expected, the method is only for MI7 / MJ1 / MJ3 JB versions. Sadly mine has already crossed and has A2 bootloader. So, no change was observed with CF RegionLockAway. Reverted the cahnges.
- Tried to flash MJ1 / MJ3 binaries from sammobile. As expected the latest bootloader won't allow to downgrade.
- Flashed Omega, but for no luck. Still no service and crossed circle icon.
- Flashed latest CyanogenMod. Though there was no Crossed Circle icon, there was an icon of network signal with zero network.
- Flashed official Lollipop verson to see if any changes.. no luck. Reverted back.
- Installed advanced network info app, network status, neighboring MSC, cells.. etc was shown as none.
No clue how to enable the device's network capabilities (all else like WiFi and other feature work as usual).
It will be a great help if you can guide me through! Please let me know if any other info is required.
Thanks a lot in advance. !!

Purchased in UAE doesn't necessarily it was a UAE phone. Phone Info Samsung from Play Store can tell you where it is from.
What I would do is...
Download the firmware from Sammobile to suit your phone. One fairly common issue is that Hong Kong or Chinese phones get sold into Europe or other markets and their PIT and other partitions are different. So first thing is to go back to scratch.
If you phone IS from where you think, make sure you have the stock firmware for that location and flash the latest version using Odin and Download mode.
Start Odin - v3.09 is best.
To enter DL mode for anything to do with BL or Modem you MUST turn phone off. It is best to remove the battery and wait a while, then put it in and use the Power On+Vol-Down+Home key to get into DL mode, then [plug phone into PC and wait for Odin to notice it is there.
(if Odin doesn't notice it, get the latest Samsung USB drivers for the phone and install them with phone unplugged, then plug in phone and Windows should give a pop-up)
Click on AP in Odin and navigate to where you saved the firmware - note you DL'd a zip but you need the md5 file so use 7zip to unpack the zip.
Click on the md5 file and wait for it to load into Odin.
* [Auto Reboot] and [F.Reset Time] should be the ONLY things ticked.
Click [Start] and wait.
Let phone restart and set it up with your details. Once done see if you have network.

Thanks Journyman16 for the quickreply.
I installed the "Phone Info Samsung" app as you mentioned and found the phone's CSC code is XTC! (= Philippines (Open Line))!!
Thanks for the hint. I will download the latest firmware from sammobile for n98005 for XTC and check. Will be back with updates in some time.

Update:
Flashed below 3 stock firmwares from sammobile, each time cleared cache and factory wipe.. still the crossed circle is hopelessly adamant and persistent.
4.4.2 N9005XXUGNH1
4.4.2 N9005XXUGNI4
4.3 N9005XXUDMJ7 (failed to flash, i guess due to current bootloader version A3)
I tried with Odin 3.09.3 & 3.10.6 & 3.07 .... same result.
Any suggestions? please share.. I'm ok to soft brick the phone Recovered from boot loop few times
Any further suggestions? Please share.. Shall i give a try with full wipe (/system/ folder wipe) with TWRP ? Or any other thing ?!

Tried a different sim card ??
Checked APN settings .
Checked you have modem/ baseband via settings .

They are old stock ROMs - how sure are you the phone wasn't updated to the new version of BL? I'm not sure if you're on the new version and then try to downgrade it, which version you will see in Phone Info but check it. There's also a phone # code to use that returns the basics for the phone, but I can't recall if you said you get calls or not and I'm heading for bed. Think the code is something like *#12334#* - google for secret smartphone codes.

Hi JJEgan, thanks for your suggestions..
I tried with different SIM, yet no luck.
APN settings.. shows my SIM operator's default settings.
When I search networks Manually.. it searches for a ~10 seconds and returns without any list/error.
Select automatically shows "Automatic registration.." progress continuously for > 5 mins.. i closed manually.

Yea Journyman16, they seem to be still good old of 4.4.2. Latest must be 5.0. On samobile, for XTC i could see only till 4.4.2. Maybe for this phone version, there are no updates? Not sure.
And, yes, sadly BL is updated to A3. Which I could see in Recovery mode's REV line. (if it was A1, I could have flashed MI7 and tried RegionLockAway.. )
*#1234# gives the below info:

Any heads up ?!

/system/csc/GLB/system/csc/customer.xml has a line:
<NbNetworkLock>1</NbNetworkLock>
Which ChainFire's RegionLockAway changes to
<NbNetworkLock>0</NbNetworkLock>.. but as mentioned in it's details, the method is compatible only with MI7, MJ1, MJ3 firmwares and i'm on UGNH1 and unable to downgrade

I'd upgrade rather than try to get around the downgrade issues. What Region do you WANT to have? European ones seem to get early release of upgrades - e.g. many LP ROMs are based around the Polish release.
I don't know enough to interpret logs, but my thought would be to find a non-Philippines version (one of the Europe ones perhaps) and find a PIT file for that one. Then go read up on how to safely flash a new PIT. Then flash your preferred firmware and follow the root process etc.
I started with a HK version of S3 - every time I tried to flash a new ROM it failed and bricked my phone. Eventually I found that the PIT file on most Asian phones was different and I flashed PIT, then stock FW for the region I wanted then re-rooted and flashed the custom ROM.
Read many time, flash once, OK? I do not make bricks, nor need them, so I will not accept them delivered to my door...

There's a Euro PIT on the link at This Post - I checked and the dropbox is still valid. It's 4.4.2 so could be just what you need.
Now you probably want an India ROM but I haven't any links for that 0 there's a thread for India users though I think.
What I think might be happening is that different countries use different frequencies and formats for signal. It might be that India's set up simply doesn't work with the modem you've been using and the India ROM will not set up with the Asian PIT set up etc.
But read up on the process first, OK? The more you know about it the better chance you have to recover from anything going wrong.
Also, I presume from your OP that the phone NEVER worked once you got it? Do you know for a fact it worked prior to that? Maybe you're chasing solutions for a faulty hardware issue?

Hi Journyman16, thanks for the suggestions.. i tried the pit file you referred, but, still no luck. And, if i'm not wrong pit file is all about allocating ROM space for /system & /dbdata and has nothing to deal with the antenna/telephony module, please correct if i'm not right.
About the phone's status yea you're right. It never worked after i received it. But, it was working usually in UAE, as per the info i got. Maybe.. as you suspected.. it might be faulty hardware too.. I don't know.. just exploring the options.. to conclude something..

The only unbranded NH1's seem to be Greece or Netherlands. Netherlands has a 5.0 - maybe DL that and flash in Odin? Greece has a v5.0 but it's branded with (EUR) so I don't know if that's a company or general... I'd go the Netherlands one.
Other than that, I'm not sure - might be time to get the phone checked properly?

Finally.. could trace the root cause.. antenna / receiver chip malfunction. So, it was an hardware issue that had to be replaced at a cost at service center.
Summary: If network icon is crossed circle, its not a good sign !! Thanks

SM-J320FN restoring stock firmware?

Hi. I installed a custom firmware and then rooted. Then I installed what I thought to be the stock firmware but now since unrooting it says my device has been modified and it doesn't let me get updates, so I suppose I must've installed a version that doesn't match my country.
Kies 3 is apparently incompatible with my device and SmartSwitch doesn't have the option anymore. with SamFirm it asks me for the Region which my phone says is PHE (Spain) but I doubt it is because I'm from Portugal. Is it possible that the firmware I installed changed the CSC code? (the original, firmware, and active all say it's PHE) Phone is not locked to any carrier btw. How do I go about getting the correct original firmware?
Thanks

Hey idk, you can download odin 3.x which is a flashing utility for Samsung devices and then go @ https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-j3/SM-J320FN
Download the firmware for Portugal (has 3 carriers) or download the standard EUR carrier free firmware and flash it via odin.. Please lookup a relevant thread on how to flash if you aren't familiar with this yet.
Sorry im not walking you through it, its new for me writing on the app...

I've already done that. that's not my issue. my issue is knowing what is the correct stock firmware that came with the phone, since the CSC code says it's from another country. and if all the CSC all match the same country then from what I've read it should give me OTA updates already
also you have to pay to download on that website (even after registering)

Anything you flash from sammobile will give you OTA.It doesn't require pay2get unless you are clicking unlimited speed download...

Kaiyum, you're wrong. you register and it logs you out when you go to download anything for free and suggests for you to register again and doesnt actually let you download anything without having a paid account.

(HELP)Download New Firmware

Hello which is the firmware I should download to flash through Odin. ?
I don't want to download any other that'd why I am asking

The main issue I face is that the battery is draining even if I don't use it. There are not apps in the background running but I am sure it will fix the problem.

CTF1 is the firmware you need if it's available. Check Samsung website.
