Hi all,
New here. Just bought myself a Galaxy S3 (first smartphone). It's a bit tricky to get use too but is fun.
I basically purchased the phone as an import, so it came with French(?) software, though I wanted to change to Australian Firmware. I downloaded the latest Australian Firmware from;
sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9300&pcode=XSA&os=1&type=1#firmware
along with the "Additional Files" which came with Odin 3.04
I booted the phone into Developer Mode then loaded Odin, left "Auto Reboot" & "F.Reset Timer" checked & other boxes unchecked/unchanged.
The phone detected (0:[COM9]) highlighted in light blue.
I then loaded the downloaded Firmware into 'PDA' section (.tar.md5), then clicked 'START'
The phone and Odin did its thing then 'Green PASS' appeared and phone reset.
I input all the details into the phone and details from *#1234# are as follows;
~~~BEFORE UPDATE~~~ (French stock ?)
AP: I9300XXALEF
CP: I9300XXLEF
CSC: I9300XEFALE1
~~~AFTER UPDATE~~~ (Australian Sotck ?)
AP: I9300XXBLH3
CP: I9300XXLH1
CSC: I9300XSABLH2
Afterwards I went into system settings and did a factory reset. After phone loaded up again, re-did all the details, but, when I went to update (there was a system update available), it failed to update. I loaded Kies and it said "your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". After this, I remembered the PDF Flashguide from sammobile said to Factory Reset using *2767*3855#, which I then did, re-did all the info again. Attempted the update and it seemed to work (unknown if anything was actually installed as it was quite fast). Now Kies says "This is the latest Firmware"...did it work?
If this is all good, what went wrong during this process? (so I know for future reference)
Is there anything I can check to make sure everything else is all good ? I basically want Australian Stock Firmware and don't really want any issues downloading updates via Australian networks.
Another thing, I read a couple times where people are saying UK firmware is 'better'?...something to do with faster updates ??
Sorry for the long post, kinda new and wanted to be clear as possible (noob video told me to ).
Kind Regards,

Hey,
Thanks for the link. I've copied and paste my question to that Aus thread so this one can be locked/deleted if mods wish.
Thanks again

My phone was working fine until a few days ago, when suddenly it starts to show the icon for no service.
I've already tried to reset to factory defaults, and also reflashed the stock rom, after this I found out that my baseband and imei where null (not sure if this was the main reason for not having service, but at least looks like)
What is the correct way of fixing unknown baseband/imei? reflashing the modem?
My phone was bought in south africa last year, and now I'm living in brazil.
Model: (Note3) SM-N900
South Africa - XFE
PDA: N900XXUDND1
CSC: N900OJVDND1
MODEM: N900XXUDND1
Where to download the correct modem firmware? any other ideas/suggestions that I should try?
Thanks
Same problem

- Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'.
- Select firmware for your device/CSC to download. You can flash full firmware via Odin, or extract and get 2 files: modem.bin + NON-HLOS.bin.
- To flash the modem, make sure to enter download mode by completely switch off the phone, and boot to download mode by hardware key combination. Flash modem.bin first, reboot, then flash NON-HLOS.bin.
Hello vndnguyen,
I've checked my phone info/firmware with Phone Info Samsung app, and it also pointed to the South Africa, XFE rom.
I did uncompressed the tar.md5 file but did not found the file NON-HLOS.bin. I've just found modem.bin file.
Should I proceed flashing just modem.bin with odin? Flashing only modem.bin would give me a chance to restore baseband version information and imei?
In the past days, I've flashed this rom (the complete md5 rom file), would also the modem .bin be applied while stock rom flashing?
Thank you
Today I called Samsung customer service asking for support, I know that since I bought my phone on another country, they would not give warranty, so I was ready to pay for support and have my phone fixed.
Samsung denied any kind of service on my phone, saying that they only support phones bought in brazil.
They also told me that I should look for any other 3rd party support.
I started a complain at 'reclameaqui', but anyway, I'm quite sure that this is going nowhere.
http://www.reclameaqui.com.br/10344...cs/galaxy-note-3-suporte-negado-pela-samsung/
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or things that I should try.
Thank you
Rom 442 pologne... boot download mod CP GNG1 in ap case odin and reboot recovery reset all data. Good luck
Thanks for the advice, but looks that I got lucky....
After registering my complain at "reclameaqui", Samsung changed their position and called me offering an option for repairing my phone.
Tomorrow I will be shipping my phone to their support center.
I will come for an update when the phone comes back.
Thank you
Today I received my phone from Samsung.
They didn't fixed the phone and they also informed me that they where unable to fix it since the required parts for fixing aren't available in Brazil.
So I guess that now I have a big useless phone that can be used only to hold some papers in place.
Any ideas or suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Try and download the XXUBMI2 modem and flash it through Odin. Make sure you have auto restart off and when it's flashed, pull the battery from your phone and reboot back into download mode. Then flash the modem again, this time with auto reboot on. That should make sure it's flashed. Restart your phone and then see if all is working. I've had issues like this before, and it turned out to be modem related, but my phone is the N9005. It's worth a try though

Hello Brownie2k,
I've followed your advice and flashed the modem using Odin (first time removing the battery, and second time with auto reboot), still with imei/baseband unknown .
Also tried to flash the stock rom again (XFE), and repeated the modem flash... same issue
Is XXUBMI2 the correct modem file for my phone? Should I also try the other modems? I've tried to follow the link to samsung firmware checker but the page seens to be broken
Thank you!!

Any Solution you find? tried above suggestions no luck
Your imei and baseband is there but doesnt recognize by your rom. Pls download firmware has baseband in it like *****NG1 and flash though ODIN. Your imei and baseband will be back. You can download firmware here
For 9005
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005
And 900
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900
i had same issue and flashed different modems and one worked.
for me nothing was working correctly untill i unticked F.reset time and Auto reboot,
i just manually rebooted my phone when odin job was finished.
I have a Note 3 SM-N9005. There was a polish release of 4.4.2 firmware, which I'm fairly certain was this, which I installed in January using this guide on XDA.
Today I discovered that my carrier (Telstra, Australia) had released an official 4.4.2 firmware N9005XXUENE3, and thought I would flash it. The flash failed and I got the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" in recovery. In a panic, I tried to return to the polish firmware. Having lost what I'd originally flashed, I tried N9005XXUENA6 from sammobile first. This got me to the setup screen, but the phone would crash on the first or second page of setup with "Unfortunately Samsung Setup Wizard has stopped". I then downloaded the N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2_OXX from the first link. This has the same result.
After each flash I did a factory reset and wiped the cache (not dalvik, because I'm not rooted). The stock firmware comes just in the form of a .tar.md5 as did the N9005XXUENA6 from sammobile, but the final polish firmware and the original I had installed had separate parts for bl, ap, cp, csc.
Is this what it means to be soft-bricked?
What was the mistake that I made to result in a soft brick?
What can I do to have a functional phone again, either with stock firmware or anything at all?
Given that my knox is still 0x0, is it likely my warranty is void anyway, and can I repair this somehow?
Go to SAMMOBILE and download the latest Polish or Slovakian rom using the europpean pit. My N9005 is polish too, and yesterday I had the same problem, thinking that since I am bulgarian , the bulgarian rom should work.
So install the Polish or Slovakian (see down) and it should work...

My note 3 is not actually polish. I used the polish firmware because it was the first to offer 4.4.2. Does this suggestion still apply?

I'm not sure... do you know your original configuration, before this 4 file polish rom?
Still you need to try and flash, one thing is sure, you can't flash an older one. So if your phone is not locked to any operator than any latest stock rom from your region should work. If you're not sure which region is your phone originally from, then there's a problem....
So go to sammobile, type n9005 in the firmware tab, and try the ones at top,October...November, from your region. And use the pit file too.
The latest for my region and carrier is N9005XXUENE3, which is what got me into trouble in the first place in my OP. What should I try next?
Update: Got past setup and into homescreen. Usually crashes after about 10 minutes, but sometimes I can get up to a few hours. Doesn't detect the SIM card, and camera doesn't work. Any clue what might be going on?

Hey,
I recieved a German Telekom-branded I9506 with a broken display, which I replaced successfully with a new one.
The phone was stock/untouched 4.4.2 (I9506XXUCNI1_I9506DTMCNI1_I9506XXUCNF3).
Before the new display was shipped, I made a backup from Internal Storage via Samsung One Touch Software (mostly pictures,music and so on).
During backing up the files One Touch started the firmwareupgrade to Lollipop, which I cancelled before it would have been flashed during the download.
After the displayreplacement I flashed TWRP to make a nandroid backup and did the Lollipop upgrade by myself via Odin (->I9506XXUDOF2_I9506DTMDOF2_I9506XXUDOF2) (Stock DTM/TelekomGER Firmware).
At this point I noticed the phone wasn't able to register in network anymore, when I put one of my SIMcards in (WIFI fully functionable) The original SIM brought the same results later.
What I tried to solve the problem until now:
- flashed open EU nordic LP firmware and rooted the phone (pre-rooted Kernel)
- flashed custom firmware based on LP (which didn't run)
- flashed single DTM LP modem
- complete downgrade and deroot to stock DTM 4.4.2
- stock clean upgrade to DTM LP incl. reflash after taking the battery out etc.
- dis- and reassembling the phone, cleaning the antenna contacts looking for damages
- trying different APN setting
Now I'm on rooted custom DTM firmware ([email protected]!2015.R1.1) with arter97-kernel studying the service mode.
Problem didn't change, sometimes it connects for just a second before going offline again.
Any ideas?

it's like you have an IMEI problem, not related to a display replacement, or may be just a modem incompatibility.
try Phone INFO ★Samsung★ may be you get some info.
Hi guys,
so I own a non rooted Galaxy S7 edge (exynos) and I am trying to change it's CSC.
Prehistory:
I live in Bulgaria and bought it (back in 2016) from one of the carriers here - Telenor, so naturally it had a Telenor branded firmware (CSC GBL I think). I immediately downloaded the unbranded firmware for Bulgaria (CSC BGL) from Sammobile and flashed it. Phone started in Polish, but didn't have any extra apps or uncotabilities, so I left ti this way.
The problem:
With the new versions of Android the Polish CSC, which the MULTI-CSC for Bulgaria defaults to started having some apps (like samsung pay) that just crash when opened and started having some menus in the settings (like T mobile roaming) which just crash the settings app when clicked. I tried downloading several ROMs (The first Andorid 8.0 and several older Android 7.0) in an attempt to make the phone switch to BGL SCS, but unfortunately whatever I do it just defaults on the Polish one. I tried wiping the cache and factory reset after flash, tried having a Bulgarian SIM card inserted both during flash, cache wipe & reset, and startup, but I cannot change the CSC to BGL.
Notes:
1. Flashing Android 8.0 caused the bootloader to be updated to U2, so I cant flash firmwares with bootloader of U1, unless I flash them without the their bootloader, but this doesn't work everytime (I think)
2. I haven't rooted my phone yet and prefer not to. If I absolutely must I ask for a guide on how to do it without triggering Knox & with option to unroot it after in such a way that it is like it has never been rooted.
3. The Dialer codes for IMEI and CSC change no longer work. I only managed to make the IMEI one ( *#06#) work using a firmware from 07.2017 (flashed without its bootloader), but the one for changing CSC (*#272*<IMEI>#) doesn't work on it.
I'm stuck guys I don't know what else to do. I only want the phone to have a BGL CSC and to receive OTA updates. No root, no nothing.
Thank you for your time.
P.S. I searched the forums all day, but couldn't find a solution

Morning,
I hope you have found a solution to this already. If not.. You need to download a combination file which is the same version as the main firmware you have. eg. XXU2 firmware requires a XXU2 combination file.
Flash the combination file. When the device is rebooted in to factory binary perform a factory reset. now flash the "home csc" file from your main firmware pack. when the handset is powered on again open up the factory imei shortcut/app, this has a keypad type *#243203855# this will bring up the csc codes for your multi-region firmware. select the one you require and the handset will reboot. now just flash your main firmware and it will be the CSC you need.
