I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900X Live Demo Unit which contains retail mode i want to know how to delete retail mode or keep it from coming back on to the demo video , i already tried going to config and entering pass to disable retail mode but that does not work. Is there any way to use it without retail mode or flash a stock rom without the modem file or something?
Thanks in advance!
Your help will be highly appreciated
You can always use Odin to flash a stock ROM, piece by piece, if necessary....

Thanks for the reply
is there any guide on how to do this?
Here is a link that'll show you how to use Odin. I don't have a link for the files, but I'm sure there's a thread with them somewhere. You'll want to look for separate .tar files for bootloader, modem, etc., rather than a single file with everything.

Is there any way that you can help me remove the modem file in one of the firmwares?
I was reading that the SM-G935U was getting great reviews by people who flashed it, and I was trying to find a guide on how to do this but everyone kept pointing to other threads etc etc. I Did some research and found out exactly the files that you need in order for this to work on the T-mobile version
EDIT: Since I'm new, I can't post links but I modified the link to come out as a non link
WARNING: I take no responsibility to what may happen to your phone, if you brick it, it becomes a shooting laser gun, or becomes a beverage coaster, etc etc, you have been warned and can continue with the guide
EDIT: I take no credit at all for this guide as I just put together pieces of other threads and copy and pasted the information to make it easier to follow, appropriate credit goes to the people that created the guides and posted the links
Before you start, make sure you have the Samsung phone USB drivers installed. If you do not have them installed ODIN will not recognize your phone. Here is a link to the drivers installation package: link #1
Note: The OP had personal success with this version of Odin: link #2
How to install:
Step 1. Put your phone in download mode. You do this by having the phone off and pressing the power button, the home button, and the volume down button at the same time, holding them until the download screen comes up. Sometimes there will be a prompt that says press the home button to continue to download mode. In that case press the home button as well.
Step 2. Flash the 3 files starting with AP, BL, CSC (IMPORTANT: Do not flash the Home_CSC) in this zip link #3 to your phone using Odin, all 3 of them at the same time. Unzip the files into a folder that contains your ODIN installation, or a folder where they are easy to find. Open up ODIN and put the BL file in the BL slot, AP file in the AP slot, and so on. Then flash all 3 at once.
Then, add the CP file on this link : link #4
After all the files are in the corresponding fields go ahead and press START
If something fails retry by putting your phone again in download and troubleshoot make sure everything looks good, if you have any additional problems or questions, post on this thread
EDIT: Add http and www plus the dots to the links to make them work

Nice, thanks for doing that, I've been meaning to make one forever but been busy. Question - Any reason you used the APIA modem rather than one of the newer ones?
the APAI modem is what I found other users to be successful with, so I sticked with it, anyone is welcome to try a newer t-mobile modem if they think it will be better, actually it would be a good test if anyone has the time
I'll test right now with the APK1 modem from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767112511
---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 AM ----------
With the APIA modem, I get aobut 0.5mbps down and 1mbps up. With the APK1 modem, 2.5mbps down and 0.5mbps up.
Do u know if it unlock sim card? I am in APK1 it's secure install the firmware?
I read some things where missing when flashing this U firmware such as video calling and other things...anyone have a list of what else is missing. I know the carrier specific bloatware is gone but some folks did not want to upgrade for some key specific things that I can't recall...
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app
The phone still asks for unlock code.
I am going to do it again.
1) Do I have to return to stock before ?
2) Maybe I misread your tutorial, I though it was flash BL, AP and CSC from U then only CP from TMB, isn't it ?
Else, could it be flash BL, AP, CSC then flash BL, AP, CP, CSC ?

Some people (actually only read of one user) that mention he had issues with incoming texts, but the rest of us are fine, video calling "button" is missing but someone confirmed that its working and it will "appear" if you make a call with someone that supports the feature. other than that I have not seen anything that doesn't work so far but its only been 24 hours since I did the migration,
the pros is that this rom gets extremely better battery life and is at least twice as fast as the stock t-mobile rom, I have no complains at all

I was stock when when I did the migration, basically you are going to do the flash in one shot, put all 3 files plus the t-mobile modem file "CP" and make sure you use "CSC" """not home CSC"""" and flash it accordingly, it should boot fine if you have the files in the correct fields

I noticed there is no mention if you are rooted or not, if you are:
what about all the performance tweaks from the "after root fixes" thread, are they still required for better performance? This still uses the engboot bootloader ya?

Yes and yes.
I flashed this a few days ago (no issues during flash), but I'm having some issues now. Everything seems to run smoothly, but my battery has now been cut in half (2.5 hours SOT) and I no longer have Wifi Calling. I tried both the modem from the OP as well as the APK1 modem CP file. Any ideas what could be causing these issues?
How to get rid of "Ramadan" and Hijri on calendar? SM-G950FD Dual Sim version
EDIT- See last post on page 3 by me. Solution found, and samsung pay also working.
Hello, I got my new S8 dual sim version from ebay today, was shipped from texas, but is the dual sim "DUOS" international version. The calendar app has the orange Ramadan line through it and "Hijri" in the settings. Is there any way at all to get rid of this?
I'm not sure if there is a different OEM rom I can flash in ODIN that would get rid of this. I definitely don't want it in my calendar, along with some different dates I'm not aware of that also show up. I googled it and looks like muslim dates.
I've read that SM-G950F roms are compatible, but what about odin flashing F roms and not FD? Would this solve the problem somehow if there is no other work around?

That doesn't work though. You can press on it, shows the date individually, event is there but clicking on it does nothing. Also as far I can tell no way to get rid of the muslim calendar dates also. I want to keep it OEM for now, no root, is there any other international variant OEM rom to flash?

You can choose what calendar sources you want (google, celebrations, facebook etc.) All of them are on by default. You just have to find it in the calendar app and disable that calendar. It is celebrations calendar for sure.
I don't know. I'm thinking it's baked into the ROM for real now. I googled this also and it seems the S7 had the issue also on international variants. But there were some work arounds I think. I tried unselecting all the different calendars. There is none that states celebrations on here.

You can flash any firmware (using Odin) from the F version to the FD one with absolutely no issue.
Edit: If you are scared to flash an F firmware, you can flash the Russian one (from the FD) and it wont have any of that "bloatware"

Cool, so would this one work? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950FD/SER/download/G950FXXU1AQF7/172614/
It's an updated version also it seems, as I'm on AQDG and security patch April 1, 2017 and this one is 6-1-17. This won't put the russian alphabet on my phone will it? lol
Mine has the Egypt firmware apparently.

That should do
You can remove the russian keyboard very easily (it is like if you flash a Greek or Italian OS, no big deal)
But be aware. In order to avoid the EGY CSC, you shouldnt have a SIM card while booting for the first time and you should probably use a .pit file
Last but not least, use SamFirm to download the whole firmware (Here) and make sure that you tick the Binary Nature selection on the app (that way, you will get 5 files instead of one and you can completely remove the EGY csc)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the EGY CSC. What is this exactly? Under software information I see under service provider is EGY/EGY/EGY. I do have straight talk up and running just fine on my S8 using the ATT network, everything works as it should right now.
I'll be sure to have my SIM card removed when flashing in odin and rebooting the 1st time. As of right now, I'm downloading the file from sammobile, the zip file which they say to extract and flash in odin.
I checked that link you sent and found the russian one with the SER region selected and clicked binary nature. So should I not flash the file from Sammobile with odin and use the the link you sent instead?
The tool downloaded the 5 files you said, I have a HOME_CSC file, CSS_OXM... , CP, BL, and AP files. They are all md5 files. So you're saying I should flash these in odin instead of the single file from Sammobile?
Im good at rooting phones and stuff, but only when following guides. The "behind the scenes" stuff I'm not good at since I don't program. This one I'm not rooting right away, just want to do this to try and get rid of the egypt stuff and muslim calendar things.
Heres what I have. It shows 4 places to flash though. The AP, BL, and CP seem straightforward using the files downloaded, but which one of the top 2 files goes in the CSC part?

The single file from Sammobile wont help you to remove all the muslim stuff from your phone. On the other hand, a 5-"pack" firmware will debloat your phone completely.
Just put the BL file to the BL option in Odin
AP file to AP option
CP file to CP option
and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC) at the CSC file
Also make sure that you have "extracted" from the CSC .tar.md5 the pit (Just open it with WinRaR and extract the .pit file)
After doing that, open the pit section on the Odin and selete the pit file that you just extracted

Thank you. This all worked perfectly. Did every option. Phone is back up and running just fine, Latest software and security patches are installed.
Sadly, the ramadan and muslim dates are still there, still shows EGY under service provider SW version. I guess I'll just have to accept this and can't get rid of it.

If you get your hands on a european sim, then you will be able to get rid of the muslim dates etc

Hello t-shock I'm hoping you'll see this, but I ordered me a Russian Sim card on ebay so I can change to the SER hopefully. Would I follow the same steps again? You did say make sure not to have my Sim card in when booting for the first time, but wouldn't I want to have it in so it can read it and hopefully change? Since when I did it with no Sim cars inserted, it didn't change. Now I'm trying to change my csc to get Samsung pay to work, and it looks like it should on Russian phones since its been released there.
I've tried everything else and I can't even pull up the multi csc menu, even though it shows EGY should be part of the multi csc pack.

Hi
Put the Sim on the phone and repeat the step that I have said.
But make sure that you use the pit file and also the csc (not home_csc)
Were you able to get rid of EGY? I'm in the same boat.
I think you should flash multi-CSC firmware that contains CSC you want to get. I have NEE/NEE/XSG, no muslim stuff. OXM firmware.
As I have had same satuition. EGY is included in Multi-CSC OXM, you can't change CSC by odin flashing another Multi-CSC OXM firmware.
I tried flash VD2(Germany Vodafone) then it became VD2/VD2/EGY but if I flash other CSC included in Multi-CSC OXM, it go back to EGY/EGY/EGY. I'm gonna just root my phone now.
I got my phone from Dubai, inserted finnish SIM card and turned on the phone. It automatically changed CSCs to NEE, which is correct for me.

I'm waiting on my Russian Sim card to come in the mail, then I will try to change to the SER csc, which Samsung pay should work for. Hoping it changes. Apparently from reading above, if you have a multi csc like the EGY I have, you can't flash another one. That's why when I initially flashed the SER csc through Odin, in a multi part file, it didn't change. HOPING it will change when I get my Russian Sim card.

Can you clarify please? I'm assuming you had EGY csc also. Is that why when I flash SER csc (Russian) it didn't change anything? But VD2 is not multi csc package and that's why it changed? I don't really care what firmware I'm on now as long Samsung pay will work and it doesn't have all the bloat ware. I was told Russian software has some of the least bloat. Will changing my Sim card change the csc?
I can no longer get into the tablet, and I have a question about flashing this firmware.
In the .zip download, there are 4 .tar.md5 files. There are the usual AP and BL files, but then there are TWO CSC files. One is called CSC and the other is called Home CSCS. The only difference seems to be the name, they are even both the same size.
I should use the CSC, wwithout the HOME?
Now, the updato link: https://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin
tells me to only use the AP file in Odin... is that correct, or do I use all three files?
Thank You.-

I haven't received the tablet yet. Should be delivered Monday.
I wish you the best because apparently (if ) they are up to date any firmware after (July or August) they won't flash. They were patched so you can't flash combination firmwares. They ask for a pit file and the old one won't work.I read somewhere that only a new combination file for their current updated firmware patch would work. Ive tried.But if you have any ideas please help.By the way i got mine from ebay.

Have you tried downloading the latest ROM from Sammobile and extacting the PIT file from it?
I tried extracting latest pit from latest firmware unfortunately the only way I know to do this is by renaming CSC to a zip and then extracting the pit from within. These newer firmware only have a map folder in the CSC extract and inside the map folder to files named (cache.map and product.map) both password protected can't extract or open.I feel stuck and quite stupid at this point.Maybe if anyone could extract their pit and uploaded it would be of great assistance.

I found a later version of the combo file https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=39716, but you have to buy membership to download it. If the current file doesn't work on my tablet when I receive it, I might pay for it.
Here are the extracted PiT files for both LTE & Wi-Fi models from the latest official S5e firmware (October, 2019):
I just read in the Tab A forum that the newest Samsung tablets have a new twist on the FRP lock. While they have made it much harder to bypass, they have added their own called a "factory token". Apparently, if you call Samsung and explain that your purchase was legit and furnish your serial number and they find it to be "clean", they'll furnish you with a "factory token" to bypass the lock. I haven't tried it yet because I won't receive my tablet until later today, but you might want to give it a try.

Maybe all is not lost. I got my tablet and tried the combo file and it failed. Called Samsung at 1-800-SAMSUNG and was told that the ONLY way to remove the lock was to send the tablet to them and have them unlock it. But, it turns out that mine is still under warranty and they do it for free. If your are recent models, they might also be under warranty. You will need the serial numbers from the back of the case. Tiny lettering and very hard to read, but they are there.
Good luck.
Thank you very much everyone I will try the pit and calling samsung.
Your a life saver. Tried the pit didn't work it showed the picture below . Then I called 1800 Samsung and told them I purchased it frp locked. They asked me to provide purchase information and sent me shipping labels for free frp removal service. All the did was verify the serial and made sure warranty was still valid.
Did samsung help? Was samsung able to help you with your Google locked tablet?
New combination file

I found a later version of the combo file but you have to buy membership to download it. If the current file doesn't work on my tablet when I receive it, I might pay for it.

By any chance, have you tried the combo files with an older version of Odin? I'm wondering if the older versions might not have been set up to check for the lock. Mine has been unlocked so I can't try it.
