Hi,
Via OTA and Kies there is still no upgradet 4.4.2 available ...
CSC code is MJ8 (BOG) --> Bouygues Télécom France.
My phone is an I9505 ... I suppose I can just use Odin to flash another 4.4.2 firmware for the I9505 with a different CSC code?
I used to do some modding with previous phones ... but so far I 've only been using a 'standard' S4. Thus therefore I would like to get confirmation from some people who have more experience with flashing S4 phones.
Better wait for OTA or KIES 3 update android 4.4.2. Your phone is branded to one company.

That's the point firmware is not yet available via OTA or KIES 3. The phone is most certainly branded ... it contained some french apps which I never use out-of-the-box. I don't care about loosing these apps.
Question is will I encounter problems when I flash with another french, british, dutch, ... firmware?
Personally I don't think so ... If you can only flash the original firmware then sites like sammobile.com which host all different original firmwares dont have a reason to exist?
Or am I wrong?

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 had the same issue and here is how i fixed it
1. Flash the 4.3 UK BTU firmware from sammobile using ODN
2.Root your phone using cf autoroot - Instructions http://www.theandroidsoul.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-root-tools-videos-guides-downloads/
3. Download CSC Changer from play store and change CSC on BTU
4.Download and install triangleaway app to reset flash counter - http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/4973...ung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-reset.htm#.Urj3D7Rn25h
5.Flash the 4.3 firmware again using ODIN
6.Now go into recovery mode and wipe cache and wipe factory data
Your phone will be unrooted and the CSC will match ( Credit goes to medi-927 who originally posted this guide)
Hi. Just a bit confused about my CSC. Currently my phone is on AP: I9505XXUEMKF with CSC: I9505BTUEMK5. As far as I was aware, this is an unbranded CSC for the UK and Ireland? (I am in Ireland). Now my phone was locked to a network but I got it unlocked and the CSC is now this. According to Sammobile, the latest firmware for BTU is I9505XXUENAA but when I connect my phone to kies, it says i have the latest update? Am I missing something big here?

1. The CSC appears close to ur firmware in Kies 3. Like in the 1st pic the CSC is XEU.
2. I9505XXUENAA no is an official update recognized by Kies how u can see in the 2nd pic. Kies 3 recognize that u have the latest update installed. If you want update ur phone by Kies you will have to wait new official update or u will have to use ODIN for install I9505XXUENAA otherways (SamMobile).
I tried that csc the other night, and it loads the Austria/Switzerland stuff on my phone by default......very useful here in the uk.
There is option to select uk/btu but it resets the phone, so Im not spending 3 hours setting up my phone.
Oh, and the mobile data speed seems so crap on that modem compared to mk9....
Thanks for your reply. Do you know whether unbranded phones get updates before branded??

Yes normally.
- Branded phones have to have custom firmware (coz they install their own apps/mods/rebuilts)
- Unbranded handsets can apply new firmware as soon as Samsung releases it (without changes).
hi all
i have the samsung galaxy s4 i9505 in the uk, i just want to know when will my phone recieve the 4.4.2 update as iv heard it has been release for the model but both OTA and kies doesnt detect it yet
currently my mobile runs 4.3 i9505XXUENAA
am i correct in say that the 4.4.2 update is called i9505XXUFNB9 if so i can download and install manually carnt i
thank you
Arnie, you just have to wait!.UK unbranded phones will undoubtedly be last to get it (as usual).
If you cant wait, then get that german or russian one.
I'll be back.....
But isnt i9505XXUFNB9 the international 4.4.2 if so I can manually download that
Have a look here, theres an open europe one in post 2.

I cant say much about it as Im not using it.Just wait for someone to confirm the best option for you, as you could end up with useless crap on your phone (I.e csc related).
My phone is Galaxy A5(SM-500F)
PDA/Baseband:A500FXXU1AOC1
Region/CSC: KSA
android version :4.4.4
*can i flash leatest (5.0.2)firmware with other csc for this model??
and How to flash this?
You shouldnt have a problem, i received my phone with NEE CSC (nordic countries) and flashed the Cyprus one as it had newer build date.
Ps, when flashing with odin, and changing region, tick the Update Bootloader option.
Also, Branded or Carrier Roms (Vodafone, Tmo, etc) wont flash on Unbranded phones as they have different partition tables.
Remember to flash only roms for your variant strictly (SM-A500F)
Edit: Latest rom is Here, instructions how to flash are on the download page of the rom you choose.

Does flashing original samsung firmwares trigger knox counter? Like if i have a stock phone with KK 4.4 and flash the LL 5.0.2
will the knox counter get triggered ?
No worries, it wont. Odin is a samsung leaked tool, and the roms are samsung made packages, it is pretty much what Kies/Smart Switch do when they handle the phones.

Τhanks a lot bro
Hello folks,
I would like to update my S7 Edge (SM-G935F) to the latest Nougat firmware which if I'm not mistaken arrived UK BTU, which is:
PDA - G935FXXU1DQB3
CSC - G935FOXA1DQB1
I would like to install it via Odin, the most stock way possible (don't want root or custom recovery), just because that I'm tired that it haven't arrived OTA in my country (PT).
But I have a few questions regarding this manually update to the latest firmware of another country:
1) Manually installing the latest update from BTU UK will stop me from receiving future OTA updates? and if no, will I be receiving the OTA updates in the future from UK or PT??
2) My device with the currently firmware has no bloatware from any network (was bought unlocked), if I upgrade to the latest firmware from BTU UK, will I still have no bloatware? (or bloat will be installed?)
3) Will I have any problem from installing a firmware from other country (being both for the same model: SM-G935F)?
Thank you very much in advance! :good:
I have everything ready to make the manual flash, just want to clear this things out before I do it.
Thanks

Each country or region has it's own CSC which can be easily flashed
by itself without the need to odin flash a different country's full firmware.
The only time you need to think about bloatware is if you flash a specific
carrier's firmware like perhaps vodaphone and most other carriers add
their own bloatwares. But if you only flash the regional firmware for your
country or region like BTU UK you will not end up with bloatware.
Good luck and happy flashing!

Future OTA's will not be a problem if you have flashed
the proper CSC for your country before trying to update
future firmwares.

So you are saying that first I should change my CSC to the UK, then flash the latest firmware via Odin and won't have to worry about future updates? Can't I simply flash the latest UK BTU firmware and it will change the CSC and get me the latest firmware in once?
