Hello,
I have an N900 Note 3 (Baseband N900XXUCMK1), I live in Egypt, Africa and I still haven't received the Kitkat update. I'm still on 4.3 and whenever i check for update it tells me my software is up to date. I also tried to check when connected to Samsung Kies and it tells me the same.
How can I solve this? Is there a way I can get KITKAT without rooting or flashing? I am kind of new to the android scene
Thanks in advance

1- What is your CSC code? You live in Egypt, but your device may be not belong to this region. You have to provide more details. Use this app Phone INFO ★Samsung★ to get your CSC code.
2- Anyway, if OTA and Kies doesn't help, you can update manually by open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, go to Menu and select 'Firmware Browser...', you will see the list of available firmwares for your device. The top of the list is the latest one. You can download it and flash by using Odin (without rooting, of course). The download link is also given there.
Same problems as above
Dear VNDNGUYEN
I installed your app
My device is also the rose gold galaxy note 3 and I also haven't received the kitkat update
I am in Pakistan (Rose gold wasn't available in my country officially)
My device details are as under
SM-N900
Bootloader N900XXUCMK2
CSC version N900JVCMJ3
Original CSC code THR
CSC country UAE
I used the firmware browser in your app and it says "Sorry, no data available"
What should we do now?
Any help would be most welcome
Regards
stay on 4.3 plzzzzzzz
Hello, Im new to this forum and hope not violating any rules..
I just bought Galaxy S4 i9500 and has stock 4.2.2 installed. Cant update to kitkat neither with settings, nor with KIES 2.6/3.
Kies 2.6 says " Your Device's Current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies. " (see attch)
I'm total newbie with these CSC codes and nor googling helped me out with all my questions:
How to make CSC and phone sales codes match safely without flashing official rom?
I bought AFR version S4 designed for Kenya in republic of Georgia (Asia/Europe). There is no firmware designed for Georgia. So does this mean I will never be able to obtain updates OTA or via Kies?
Phone INFO and such apps didnt work coz it couldnt find "preconfig" file.. Does this mean flashing is the only way? Which websites are good for official stock firmwares?

Hello, Im new to this forum and hope not violating any rules..
I just bought Galaxy S4 i9500 and has stock 4.2.2 installed. Cant update to kitkat neither with settings, nor with KIES 2.6/3.
My BB number is : I9500XXUBMG9
Here is my question..
1) Will this baseband region phone ever receive OTA update?
2) if NOT, then should i use services that samfirmware.com offers?
if YES, then can i install official firmware originally created for another baseband? For example can i use Russian I9500XXUGNG3 kitkat on my I9500XXUBMG9 ?
Doesnt it void waranty?
What are the risks of bricking? i mean basebands differ from each other, isnt that problem?
Also Im dissapointed with 2G call voice, sometimes i barely hear caller.. Can this be Baseband problem? I think this bmg9 baseband was originally for IRAQ carriers and im here in Georgia, which doesnt have specific baseband i guess...
I would be extremely grateful to those who answer me in this hard time ^^
same question

Hi mate ,
First thing if you are in 4.2.2 is a shame to upgrade the bootloader..is Knox free
Your official updates most like it are blocked because you do not have the right CSC , download a nice little app from the market call PHONE INFO there it will tell you what your CSC is , this app can also change your CSC as long as it is available in the rom ( if you do backup first changing the CSC will do a factory reset)
Regarding your questions
1 OTA are CSC dependent
2 Samfirmware is good , and reliable you can go that way also
Second part of your questions
1 you can flash firmware for other countries , that is not a problem , BUT you may have problem with what languages are available , specific country services may not be available , no OTA
2 As long as you only flash stock rom (odin) you will not void the warranty
3 Briking is always a risk but when flashing not for different basebands
4 Maybe , for sure the right baseband would help

Alrighty. I dw-ed two apps, both named Phone Info. I just have a questions:
If I change CSC code to USA will I get OTA updates as soon as USA citizens get it? Doesnt it depend that im outside of USA?
Is there any cons for changing CSC?
My country, is not listed in CSC codes.. Is there a way i can always get OTA updates?

Hi,
A knox free bootloader is important if warranty some how is important for you , other wise there are the same
Regarding your first set of questions
1 Not an expert on kies but as long as all the csc inpho match it should , unless there is an issue with kies registration or IP
2 CSC give you country specifics network set ups , differnt countries have different set ups , fastdormancy , special services.......
3 you need to flash a stock rom from your country or region
Yes flashing firmware may change the csc code.

HI everyone
I have s8 (G950F) android 7;i want instal oreo and my phone dont receive ota update and says the last update is installed
when i check my CSC on phone info samsung is blank; and done a refurbished check and this message comes up:
Warning: Your phone does not have active CSC code
and knox is 0x0
What is the cause of this problem and how to fix it !!
thanks :good::good:
There is a question sub forum for this kinda stuff.
I don't see any guide on this post, unless I'm missing something.
A few years ago, I've purchased a Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) (Not Refurbished) device from a reseller running 6.0.1 marshmellow, the packaging was alright and the entrie thing has always looked completely official to me, status is claimed to be official and nothing seems out of the ordinary- other than that I absolutely cannot manage to update the device, instead I get Proccessing Failed and SmartSwitch claims it has the latest firmware, but after some tiny research about it I figured out there was litereally no firmware out there matching both the model and the CSC, but instead there were firmwares with the same CSC for the J510F model.
Today, I decided to go back into attempting to figure out what was wrong and I went to check my warranty status on download mode, and apparently it's at 0x1 (4). I've never attempted to root the device or tampered with it since I've purchased it, so I can't understand how and why it's tripped.
So now I realized that if KNOX is infact tripped, this whole CSC, model and no updates thing makes a bit of sense.
Under my assumption, I believe it uses stock samsung firmware from another region, but had it's CSC modified. Is there any way I can do the same in order to update my device while keeping all my data and apps to the Nougat update samsung has rolled out to other SM-J510FN CSCs?
Thanks.
