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 now says BTU (it should say SPR).
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

It's irrelevant when you use aosp. For you second question: Yes it comes with the rom.

I've been having a problem on my S5 where the data symbol is stuck on 4G and doesn't show anything else. It might be a baseband/modem error since I'm using a Canadian model in Cyprus. Can I use the modem from the Cyprus G900F firmware and flash it on my G900W8? Also can someone explain how I could do that so that I don't screw it up, if it is possible?
!
RE UP!
Same pb...
To flash a modem you need a .bin file and odin.
Clear your delvik/cache,
put your phone in download mode,
load phone with the .bin file and flash it.
I also am having data issues with all custom ROM's. If it's not one thing it's another. Canadian phones always get left in the dust it seems.

Probably not. You neglected to tell us what your W8 baseband and firmware are, which is rather crucial information. Making it impossible to give you a definitive answer. In most cases Odin will refuse to allow the change.
That isn't really an issue most of the time. There should be a variety of W8 modems for you to choose from if you want to change your modem.

Hi,
I have an SM-G900I and was wondering if anyone knows if I can flash SM-G900F firmware on it? Will it change the model number as well?
Also, does anyone know the difference between the 2 models apart from one being an Asian model and one being European?
Nope. You can't flash different models firmware, because it'll brick your device...
Isn't it effectively the same phone though?

Sure you can flash the 900F firmware. It isn't recommended and may "brick" (damage) your phone, making it as useful as a brick. You'd already know this if you had read any of the existing threads on the subject. But you can try anyway if you really want to. If you do, at least make the effort to locate the proper 900F PIT file and flash it concurrently. Your phone still won't work properly afterwards, but using the PIT file will make it less likely that you brick it due to partition corruption.
If you just want to change the displayed model number, you can do that by editing the build.prop file. The main difference between the two models is that they are intended for use in different regions and with different carriers and have different firmware. Therefore each will support different frequency bands.
Unfortunately you didn't tell us why you want to do this. If you are trying to use your phone on a different carrier that uses different frequencies, then trying to flash a 900F firmware won't do that. If you are looking for some 900F specific apps or features, you can probably do that by installing a 900F based custom ROM instead.

Yes flash another firmware will change the model number accordingly

Thanks for your comprehensive response!
The main reason for wanting to flash the SM-G900F firmware is because it seems like a more mainline branch and DBT/BTU will probably get more OTA frequent updates than XSA and i think issues would get resolved quicker in that branch...

Are you absolutely sure of this? Do you know anyone who has done this successfully?

You could do that.. but NFC and sundry other features will fail on you. And any update involving the bootloader won't work for you. And probably ditto for any radio (modem) updates.
Your best bet to do what you want in my opinion is to install a 900F based custom ROM e.g. the Alliance ROM. The active custom ROM developers are proactive in updates and supporting their ROMs and would see the best result by you.
This approach would leave you with your stock 900l bootloader and radio. And 900F ROM, with updates for the ROM maintained by the ROM developer.

When you flash the new firmware, the build.prop is replaced by a new one and the model number will be changed accordingly.
You can also manually change the model number by editing the build.prop file (ro.product.model), as fffft already pointed out.
Hey all,
I have a stock (but rooted) phone and just want to change the modem only, not a complete reflash. Is there anywhere a collection of modem only packages? I have a SM-G900F but need the australian TEL modem (currently attached to a SM-G900I firmware I can find but can't separate from).
Any help?
Cheers

Take a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52210611
Thanks that's exactly what i'm looking for... never seen disclaimers warning not to stray outside of that model though.... think it is a "just in case" warning, or a very valid one? Didn't think the modem was really hardware specific if the chips are the same.
Hello, right now I'm on RR Remix 5.4.5, I'm afraid that I don't have my CSC (Is it necessary to have it to get stock rom?)
I have my IMEI and PDA (XXUGNH6)
YES OPTUS (Aus) branded phone, can we guess the CSC?

You don't need csc. Ignore it.
Csc is only used on stock rom and custom roms based on stock. RR remix is based on CM.

Yes I know, but I have another handset which needs to be flashed on stock firmware. And what if I ever need it?

You still don't need the CSC. You know your carrier and you know what device you have. That's enough information to download a ROM from sammobile. In your case, you have an I9505 running on Optus Australia. Through these two pieces of information, I was able to determine that these would work for you.
If your S4 is unlocked, you don't even need to know the carrier and can flash any I9505 ROM you desire.

Oh nice mate, can you determine another one for me? It is also i9505 and has pda xxugnh8, no csc known either. Tried looking up roms for xxugnh8 but couldn't find one, that's also running rr remix
Edit: that phone really needs a reflash
Sent from my GT-I9505
I provided the link to illustrate how easy it is to find the correct ROM without needing the CSC. But that doesn't give you carte blanche to ask me to do the work for you. There is sufficient information in this thread for you to find the correct ROM for your other S4 without help.
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.)
