Dear folks, I installed Lineage_klte via TWRP and Odin. Working well but can't setup fingerprint, say "enrollment was no completed". I believe I could flash a new baseband version via Odin which might solve the issue, however I need to understand the following:
What are the risks of flashing the baseband alone?
How do I choose which baseband to download?
Many thanks for any advice going.

[Q] CSC from other pack

Hi
There is this stock package for s5360 - S5360_XXLK1_OXFLK1_XXLH2. There is Polish language but there is no XEO. Can I use CSC from another ROM pack for example from this S5360_XXLH2_OXXLH2_XXLH2 ??
Why not try:
S5360_XXKL3_OXXKL1_XXKL3
European multilanguage build.
based on: S5360XXKL3_S5360OXXKL1_RST_S5360XXKL3_HOME.tar.md5
ro.build.date=Wed Dec 14 17:16:14 KST 2011
Supported languages:
XX = de,en,es,fr,hu,it,nl,pt(cs,da,el,fi,no,pl,sl,sv,tr )
Included CSCs: (Default is XEU)
ATO AUT COS CPW CYO CYV EIR EUR FOP ITV MOO PAN PHE SUW TPH XEF XEH XEO XEU XEZ XSK
After the flash, set your country/provider in dialer *#272*[yourIMEI]# (-> It will wipe your data, and rebrand the phone to specific country/carrier)
This build does not contais any provider specific bloatware
I think pl is polish language and XEO is there also in this stock firmware.
Also Doky73 is converting and releasing new firmware updates at present, he just did Polish T-Mobile stock ROM today so maybe you can check Sammobile for new firmware for yourself and ask nicely if he will convert it? :angel:​
I would like to use newest ROM. The newest is S5360_XXLK1_OXFLK1_XXLH2.
Is this CSC setting really important ?

I thought it was but apparently it is not so important at all. (See the Q&A Ask any questions thread). Just flash the latest firmware that you want which supports your language and you should be fine apart from having to set up your data network settings manually (APN settings). I have to do this anyway as my carrier is not major so I keep a list of the settings for when I change ROM, if you don't have those written down or cannot find them online get them from your phone before you do anything else.
Also, have you made a nandroid backup using CWM recovery yet? Always do this before making major changes, it could save you a lot of trouble if things go wrong! (I didn't and it caused me a lot of trouble lol). Also make a note of your IMEI number by pressing *#06# in dialer.
If when you have flashed the firmware you cannot connect to your carrier, then press *#272#(your IMEI number)# and it should fix it. If it doesn't (I am told this is very unlikely) then just flash the CSC file as you were asking about doing in your first post using Odin and it should all be good again.
I have been told that the CSC doesn't matter but have not had chance to test it myself yet as I only found out tonight!
Good luck :good:

[Q] impact of flashing a different country/product code?

Hello everyone,
I've tried searching but I did not find a specific answer to my question...
what is the impact of flashing a different country code to my device if PDA, CSC and MODEM versions are identical (not just the last 3 characters... but all the string)?
I'm asking the question because I wanted to factory reset my device and upgrade to the latest version. I have a TTT (Trinidad and Tobago) country code... but I saw that there was a more recent version on sammobile with EON code (also Trinidad and Tobago).
I flashed the device... reset factory default... and it's working perfectly fine.
When I connect my device to my computer, I can still see the TTT country code in Kies... and Kies does not give me any error.
And status is "official".
Will I encounter any problem in the future because I manually updated with a different country code firmware file?

[Q] download ROM - always redirected to pay sites..

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 SM-N900
Model name GALAXY Note 3
Country Russia
Version Android 5.0
Changelist 4115321
Build date Thu, 09 Apr 2015 13:05:48 +0000
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.

Help - I have bricked my Note 3 sm-n9005

I was given a Samsung galaxy note 3 32gb sm-n9005 (Orange France)
Problem is all the default apps are in French and the signal was rather quirky not really working on TNZ network (Telecom New Zealand)
Me being me decided to downgrade to 4.4.2 from 5.0 to put it on the Telecom (now Spark) network with all the correct settings and apps etc
This is what I have tried installing:
Model SM-N9005
Model name GALAXY Note 3 LTE
Country New Zealand
Version Android 4.4.2
Changelist 1955971
Build date Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:56:29 +0000
Product code TNZ
PDA N9005XXUGNG1
CSC N9005TNZGNI2
It installs to approx 97% and fails on the hidden.img.ext4
I have tried using different pits to no avail just keeps failing
Any suggestions please ? I have read countless threads but can't figure this one out at all....

You think I'm stupid maybe but.... New Zeland (TNZ) never gonna work if your phone is branded to France (Orange). No? It's normal that ODIN give you error everytime.
*Steps to follow:
1. Download the correct firmware to Orange (FRANCE): HERE.
2. Unzip and flash it via ODIN.
3. Buy a unlock code by IMEI and unlock your device.
4. Every SIM should work now (your device is international).
5. Done.

Nah all sorted - It was a case of finding the correct pit file to match the firmware, the phone was already on a different provider here in NZ so once I got the right one with the hidden partition all went well....

-Help- Trying to find correct stock Os

Hi and thank you for your time.
I´ve performed an advanced wipe with TWRP without a back up (thought i had) so i´ve got no OS and now i just want my stock firmware back installed.
I found several stock roms in another web site with csc and pda codes and I don't know wich one i should install.
Also i don´t know what info is relevant to answer the questions i have made. What i do have is:
Model SM-J320M
FCC ID
SSN
Country it was made Argentina
CNC ID
IMEI
S/N
And that the phone it self is not related to any comunication company but my service provider is CLARO
ps. I´ve contacted samsung support and the answer was to take it to a support center but i need to learn if im gonna keep messing with my phone..besides i'm broke ha!
