Hi. I have a Galaxy Note 4 N910C that is bought from U.A.E (United Arab Emirates) it was given to me but was rooted. So I cannot update it via OTA. So decided to just flash a rom manually via odin. I'm quite new to flashing but I know how to do it. So I went to Sammobile for firmwares. Before anything else. I am in
Android 4.4.4 Kitkat
Baseband : N910CXXU1ANL2
Build : KTU84P.N910CXXU1ANK5
In my box there's : N910CZWEXSG
So in my box, the last three is XSG which is the country code for UAE so I went to filter the roms via country code and I am confuse in the available roms for download.
There is a PDA which is N910CXXU1ANK5. So I assume that is the correct rom? But there's this CSC? What is it? And in my baseband N910CXXU1ANL2 what does it mean?
For the available download with PDA N910CXXU1ANK5, it's CSC is N910COJV1ANK5 . Is that the correct rom for me?

Hello mates
I downloaded the latest 4.3 XSG firmware from sammobile, but after installation the CSC moved to KSA!
Is this normal?
Also when I downloaded the 4.2.2 for XSG, the same happened. Means UAE firmware shows KSA on my phone.
Someone could help me to understand why?
Cheers
Hi
Ever since I have updated my S3 with Odin I am having trouble with Kies. I can not update with kies and when I connect my phone and go to update section it says "Your current Devices Firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies".
So I know what the crack is about that Product code and CSC have to match blah blah blah.
Soo what I would like to ask for is help finding firmware that will match my S3 so it will be up datable through kies again.
My S3 was bough in the UK in Phones4U and service provider is Vodafone. But it never was branded or bloated with Vodafone apps so I am guessing that I have had a BTU unbranded firmware and as I read on other forum Phones4U sell phones with UK BTU Firmware.
My current Firmware is PDA:MK6 / PHONE:MK6 / CSC MK6 (KOR) Baseband - I9300XXUGMK6 / BUILD - JSS15.I9300XXUGMK6/ KERNEL - 3.0.31-2168382 4.3 jellybean
Before I always downloaded UK BTU Firmwares and none of them were not supported with kies.
Also my binary count is 1 after downloading and flashing 4.2.2 which was supposed to be official but wasn't but I am not sure if it affects kies updates or not.
So what Firmware will be compatible with my S3 so its supported with kies? Please help and ask for any additional information about my phone if it will help.

use sammobile.com and flash chosen firmware for the UK via odin. After that check your csc.
And you should update to kies 3 to recognise your 4.3 rom
sent from sgs3 -stock 4.3 open europe rom

Also I have use sammobile.com to download my firmware and it was UK firmware i downloaded every time.
Pleas read the faqs and guides CSC etc .

Hi,
I am using International version of Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F, I bought it with the firmware belonging to KST(Saudia Arabia). As I was in need of 4G I flashed it with official firmware from Poland (XEO) at that time only country having Lollipop update. After some time I rooted my mobile. and flashed Xtrestolite rom. Now I reverted back to stock official firmware from England(BTU). My CSC when seen in Kies is from XEO(Poland). While I installed Firmware from England. Now again I rooted my mobile again and installed Xtrestolite rom to change CSC manually through Phoneinfo Samsung. But it gives error. It shows in CSC section
Original CSC XEO
Firmware CSC BTU
Active CSC XEO/BTU
CSC Country UK & IRE
Prouct name G900FZDAXEO
How can I change original CSC according to the official firmware installed i.e. BTU(UK) to get official updated from Kies?

I had problems during reflash n9005 before.
i had version N9005XXUFNG2 and wanted to update to Poland XEO version N9005XXUEND3. Somebody reply me i can use it and i almost kill my note3 during flash.
Then somebody explain i cant downgrade from NG2 to ND3 so i reflash back to correct version and let i to wait.
question 1:
my current firmware is N9005XXUGNG1_N9005ATOGNG1_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5, phone is probably from Austria A1 network (i bought it in local store with papers)
now there is update to android 5.0. Of course i got info and tried to update phone via wifi but after it download firmware (over 810mb) during recovery flash it end at 29% with ERROR message than suggest to use KIES so can i now use POLAND XEO firmware:

Hi,
I'm in Qatar and I've SM-N9005 with Baseband N9005XXUGNG1. Can I flash official update firmware from other countries like Saudi Arabia with firmware N9005XXUGBOEA?
I would really appreciate if someone could give me link to some kind of tutorial on reading firmware compatibility issues.
Regards

I have been trying to find an answer to this for a long while, but I just can't. There are some ROMs which are meant for 32 GB devices, and then there are some ROMs which are meant for 16 GB devices. If you download a ROM which is meant for 16 GB Note 3, then obviously you won't be able to flash it on a 32 GB Note 3. And the firmwares listed on sammobile.com don't say which are which!
So I have given up, when a new base pops up, I simply head over to the Alexandar's topic to see whether he has complied the newer version or not, and he does that so fast. That is as stock as a ROM can get, other than ROMs from sammobile.com, so I don't really bother any more.
Last year I was given a Galaxy Note 3 as a present. It is an SM-N900, csc country TGY (Hong Kong). I get the message from Kies that the 4.4.2 is the latest firmware. So I looked around, and there are plenty of 5.0 downloads, but all of these lead me to a site that require a 'premium membership', for pay of course.
Is there an official Samsung website where the (original) firmware versions can be downloaded, without the need for Kies? And particularly, is there a location where the Dutch 5.0 version for the SM-N900 (official international model) can be found?
T.
I'd forgotten how messy the download pages look when you're not using an adblocker.. And how confusing the multiple download buttons can be to people who aren't used to downloading off the internet.
You can use Sammobile.com (You don't need a premium account, just a free one), or Samsung-updates.com.
There is no official site, but these both use the KIES firmwares.
Hello folks;
I created a SamMobile account, and am currently downloading two 5.0 firmware sets: TGY (Hong Kong) and a SER (Russia) .
Russian version:

Model name GALAXY Note 3
Country Russia
Version Android 5.0
Changelist 4115321

Product code SER
PDA N900XXUEBOD1
CSC N900SEREBOB1
Hong Kong version:
========================
Model SM-N900
Model name GALAXY Note 3
Country Hong Kong
Version Android 5.0
Changelist 4031530
Build date Wed, 18 Mar 2015 03:08:27 +0000
Product code TGY
PDA N900ZSUEBOC3
CSC N900OZSEBOC3
================================
My phone type is SM-N900, a gift from a relative . Got it in China, and the current firmware is:
Bootloader N900ZSUDNB1
Baseband N900XXUBMI2
PDA N900ZSUDBN1
CSC N900OZSDNB1
The original CSC country code is TGY, Hong Kong. As far as I can see, there are no restrictions, I can access Google playstore etc. Can't do that with a Mainland Chinese phone....
If I want to download the current firmware, to have it available just in case, I am directed to a Baidu site. Can't get the original firmware via SamMobile. Guess that means that if an upgrade via ODIN goes wrong, I am stuck?
Questions:
- should I use the TGY or the SER firmware?
- any way to go back to the original firmware in case the update does not work?
Thanks for your help,
T.
Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.

You need to do some reading around. HK (& some other Asian ones) firmware tends to be different to the rest of the world - I think it's partition sizes. Try flashing a non-HK ROM and you're likely to soft brick or bootloop your phone.
Learn about how to get around the issue and you can flash whatever you like (within reason ) but at present HK is what you should stick with.
Not sure why you get a redirect - either China doesn't want you flashing anything else or the phone hosts file has crap in it.
