Changing Lollipop CSC - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm current on the 4.4.2 Stock ROM that came with the phone, using the OPS CSC as that is my carrier.
The ROM is rooted, I have changed the recovery and kernel and am using XPosed for any customizations.
I wish to download the 5.0 ROM, specificially Albe95's rom: Link here
I wish to know if it possible to change the CSC from that ROM to that of the one that is for my carrier. I have extracted all the files from Albe95's rom and have not found a OPS CSC in there.
How would I go about either moving the CSC from my current ROM to Lollipop one?
One of the options I have found where to extract the rom that you download from Sammobile and flash the appropriate files, yet I do not know what files to flash.
The other option is to simply move the files from my current ROM into the one I downloaded and flashed it (picture below). However, as with the above option I do not know how I would do that since the ROM I currently have is only single CSC while the one that Albe95 provides is multi-csc.
Thanks for the help.

Need Kernal DDLB2 - Can someone help?

I had the latest Indian kernal DDLB2 but since that cant be rooted i flashed the XKJ1 kernal.
Now i see that the phone is much slower, torch app does not have 3 levels of brightness, less battery life .
So can someone provide me with DDLB2 kernal? I dont mind loosing the root privileged also.
better update to DDLB2 ROM(with CWM) N just download Cf root kernel LB1 and flash it, it will keep root intact.
Hi,
I have already flashed the DDLB2 from your post, the name of the file is
N7000DDLB2---------2.3.6-------2012 February-------N7000ODDLA1-India

Can you please let me know how to upgrade the kernel only?
I think you have root. Flash cf-root lb2 kernel using CWM application.
If you don't have it download HC-KTool from the market and flash the kernel (zimage not zip).
Great work by dr.ketan. waiting for direct root for kernel ddlb2. thanks in advance, dr.ketan.

Galaxy S4 i9505 4.4.2 Wi-Fi Fix?

I live in Pakistan and no official firmware is present for this country. And also I don't know which region firmware was installed on it because I did buy GT-i9505 used from a shop.
I wanted to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4.2 hoping that it will fix the WI-Fi issue present in Galaxy S4 I9505, so I flash 4.4.2 stock rom (Newzeland NZC) with ODIN.
This is the file I Flashed :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/d...CGNH2_NZC.zip/
The issue of Wi-Fi that was in 4.3 was it Wi-Fi Button was not enabling and was grey out(light green color) when I enable it.
So for fixing that, I flash stock 4.4.2 rom.
I read this thread present here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2192025
But I couldn't decide which file(modem) to download and flash via odin in (Phone) Tab.
P.S: Is there any other way to fix the wi-fi or the only way is to flash any of those modem? Please help !
I have a doubt that when I synced Gmail and samsung account caused the wifi to not work i.e turn the toogle grey/light green.
Here are my current screen shots of totaly stock rom which I'm using. I have not even applied root.

[Q] Sprint GS4 CSC

Somewhere in all my flashing/wiping, I seem to have lost my CSC.
When I install Phone INFO and go to the CSC Code tab, it says BTU.
Can anyone tell me how to download and restore the Sprint CSC on my phone?
In particular, I am looking for one that is compatible with CM12.1 (I'm not 100% sure that the CSC is related to the ROM, so that might be irrelevant, but just in case).
Also, is there a specific Bootloader/Modem that you recommend for CM12.1?
Many thanks

CSC is only in Touchwiz, that app is for use with phones on Touchwiz... problem solved, you have no problem. Bootloader and modem (some modems may give you better performance but usually the latest one has the best performance) usually don't matter on AOSP, if you have the latest firmware (NG2) you can't change it anyways.

What is the difference between cf-autoroot and sammobile?

I am new to all these so forgive me if I don't know something obvious. I have a grand prime sm-g530h that I tried to root using the cf-autoroot chainfire files. But it did not work and I ended up stuck in odin mode forever! I was trying to upgrade from kitkat to lollipop. Anyway I could not even go back to kitkat version using the 4.4.4 file from chainfire. Here is the link to this problem if anyone is can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/help/stuck-downloading-mode-trying-to-root-t3400043
Anyway, I then downloaded the firmware from sammobile: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/46171/G530HXXU2AOC2_G530HODD2AOA1_BNG/ and this time it worked and I was able to get back to my phone! all the apps that were previously installed were present as if nothing changed.
I did notice one difference between the file sizes. Chainfire MD5 files were around 30 MB while sammmobile files were around 1 GB!! and a lot of processes happened when I installed the sammoble firmware using odin which did not happen when I tried to use the chainfire files.
Here is a screenshot of odin after installing sammobile firmware:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My concern is why is there a such a huge difference in size of the MD5 files? Should I be concerned? Did this also install any hidden malware that I should be worried about? I see something called "hidden.img.ext4" and other stuff! Is sammobile.com safe? Please help!

but due to my limited knowledge, i don't exactly know what he mean't here, like... how do i flash something with a odin tarball???
and how do i even extract the files mentioned?
can anyone lay it to me straight?
Github Thread
PS: my bootloader is already unlocked, i tried the simple method that makes sense to me and just flashed a patched AP of the aforementioned Firmware but unfortunately hit
the usual dead end (Secure check fail, recovery.img).
Note that the bootloader with Android 10 and later on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) [SM-T290] is suffering from this same issue.

It is about a different device, but may work.
Just replace the aboot.mbn.lz2 and vaultkeeper.mbn.lz2 in a tarball (.tar file) with aboot.mbn.lz2 and vaultkeeper.mbn.lz2 from last Android 9 tarball (.tar file)
I don't remember which one contains these files, so find one with them
