[Q] Hong Kong 32GB n9005 and PIT

I want to flash an Aussie ROM on my HK 32GB n9005. I've been doing some reading and what I think I need to do is as follows...
ghibli3's thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550823 specifically addresses this issue and thanks to those contributing there and elsewhere.
Now to check I understand what they are saying before I brick my phone.
I have these:
CSB_signed_HLTE_EUR_OPEN_32G_0718.pit
CSB_signed_HLTE_EUR_OPEN_32G_0805.pit
ghibli3-N9005.pit
ratcom-N9005.pit
I also used ghibli3's N9005-SaveMyPit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2426123&d=1385903491 to get a copy of my current pit.
I have my original HK MI7 stock, a HK stock MK2 (used to root my phone originally using RDLV) and both an MI7 and MJ7 Aussie ROMs.
So... here is what I think I need to do... Please let me know if this is correct or tell me how to do it better.
Using Odin and with phone in DL mode, USB Debugging on, Samsung drivers and ADB setup on PC...
1. Load a PIT file in [PIT] in Odin and tick [Re-Partition] then [Start]
(1st question, do I reboot the phone or just go to the next step?)
2. Follow RDLV steps to flash the Aussie MJ7 to root the phone.
(2nd question, should I drop back to the MI7 version for the root operation? I don't think it is needed as when I rooted my phone with HK version, I had HK MI7 on the phone and used HK MK2 to root it)
(3rd question, I have Kies 3 on my PC - should I uninstall it before doing any of this or might it be helpful to have it still installed?)

OK, so no comments so far... let's try a slightly different approach.
(4th question, Can I load the PIT into Odin, tick [Re-Partition] and add in the VEGA version of the AP (from RDLV) and then flash them as one?

For using PIT file, you need to add the PIT to Odin when you flash so it'll repartition as it's flashing. However, don't take that as a solid cause I am not 100% sure myself as I haven't messed with PIT files (yet) - but from what I have read that is how it is done. - Have a scan through the HK bricked (solved) threads to be doubley sure cause yeah, it's easy to end up with a brick

Thanks for that. Kinda what I was planning to do but I'm not sure if I do the PIT flash first then do the rest or if I do it all as one process. I'll check out that thread... been looking anywhere I could find a PIT reference.

Well, that was fun... not.
I tried the PIT files with NAND erase all, re-partition f. reset time and Auto reboot all ticked - it failed - I got a systemconnection error. I tried again with each of the PITs listed above except ratcom's - his is from an MJ7 build and I was unsure if that would trip Knox or not.
2 hours pass, with me looking all around XDA and trying a variety of things. Incidentally I think maybe the systemconnect thing might be related to not restarting the phone to get the error screen. It seems Odin can do things when that screen is on that it can't do in plain Download mode. At least, on mine, the eventual fix worked only AFTER I had the error screen (shows the hone pic and a PC pic)
I didn't try flashing CWM. Nor doing anything that might add an MJ7 or KK bootloader. If I trip Knox I want it to be by my choice, not because I can't fix something.
But clearly I am doing something wrong in trying to repartition my phone - none of the PIT flashes worked. None of the flash ROM's worked. I looked around for a MJ3 or less ROM with the 4 files - figured I could get that I could try using a PIT for the right CSC and those files and solve both issues at once.
I tried my MK1 HK Vega image and no go. So I sat and thought it through and realised that last time I had problems I had the error screen NOT download mode so I rebooted the phone and Voila! up popped the error screen. Odin promptly flashed my HK MK1 version and now I am restoring my apps from the extSDcard. Got a bit of setup work to do but it's up and running again.
But I will have to trip Knox now - I'm sick of not having a Nandroid backup that could just restore everything where it was instead of me having to manually put things back as they were.
Any ideas as to what I did wrong?

Follow it to step 6. Then flash whatever ROM you want. Make sure your phone is 32 gigs or more. Won't work on 16 gb version.

So this gets a bit strange now... I downloaded Phone Info from Play Store and ran it. I did that because I noticed I was having Wifi issues - it was working but kept thinking it was off - I'd click it to turn it on and the button wouldn't go green, but I had signal in the Notification bar. Going to Recovery to clear cache showed it was now applying CSC-code as BTU instead of TGY, so SOMETHING worked when I was doing the PITs.
So, Phone Info shows my Region Code as BTU, my CSC country as UK/IRE and my CSC Country ISO as GBBut I have a mix of ROM info:
Bootloader: ZHUBMI7
Baseband: ZHUDMJ9
PDA: XXUDMK2
CSC: OXADMK2
So, PDA and CSC are from a UK MK2 I tried to use early on and failed with, while BL and BB are from the original HK MI7 (BL) and the HK MK1 I rooted with.
So my question is now, can I now flash a BTU or other normal ROM onto my phone, using the RDLV process to make sure I get root and don't trip Knox?
IIRC I think the process works up to MK2 (and certainly does to MK1 as that what I used originally) so I should be able to DL (say) XXUBMJ1 to use for the BL and use XXUDMK2 for the root process. (i.e. the same as I did using HK MI7 for the BL and HK MK1 for the root process)
3 questions:
1. Is it the PDA that determines the partition Hong Kong users have such problems with? Or is it the Bootloader?
2. Can anyone think of a reason why this would not work? (now my CSC is BTU)
3. Could I now use an Aussie ROM to run the RDLV process?

Thanks for the Reply.
For now I'd prefer to stay away from KK ROMs - too many people having issues, and the prevention of returning to 4.3 is, to me, a killer until Samsung get the bugs out. Given that many people are doing OK with KK, I think it is unlikely Samsung will do much about the bugs until a larger number of people have problems and start bombarding their support lines.
Plus, on 4.3 I have a very fast phone that gives more than 2 days use even with fairly heavy use (for me) and up to 4 days for light use. Why make an irreversible change when the phone is doing well already? For me the next step is custom recovery - I don't like not having a Nandroid BU and several times now after restoring apps I find I need to fix permissions - without custom recovery that means a laborious uninstall/reinstall from Play Store, one app at a time. Pisses me off...
I find it interesting that Samsung are clearly using users such as XDA members as their testing area, while at the same time shutting down the activities we like to do. (Custom ROMs etc) I say clearly using us because otherwise there is no excuse for the regularity of leaked ROMs - Samsung pass it on to us to try and I would bet, have staff watching us to see what issues we have.
So it seems a bit counter-productive to work so hard to lock the phones so we can't play with them.

You need the international pit file in your phone. Flashing the CSC file will put that pit in your phone. It won't touch the bootloader or the system files.

Unfortunately, PIT's don't seem to come easy. As above I have about 4 of them I tried. There seems a bit of a disconnect between what the AP/CP/CSC are and what the files in a ROM are e.g. in XXUBMH1 there's boot.img, recovery.img, system.img.ext4, userdata.img.ext4, persdata.img.ext4, persist.img.ext4 and in XXUBMI7 there's sbl1.mbn, aboot.mbn, rpm.mbn, tz.mbn, sdi.mbn, NON-HLOS.bin, boot.img, recovery.img, system.img.ext4, modem.bin, cache.img.ext4, hidden.img.ext4
While I've been around a while now, this seems to be a blank spot for me at present - how do I flash a CSC? From reading it seems some ROM.s come with 4 or 5 files, e.g. see attachment - but I haven't been able to find one yet. (the one in the pic was hosted on Hotfiles which is now defunct thanks to the Almighty USA draconian control freaks. )
Update: I think I have found a copy of it so I can try that when it finishes DL'ing.
Other than that, anyone know of where there might be another such ROM to DL? Also if I am flashing a CSC file do I flash the PIT as well (i.e. at the same time) or do the PIT first?
Which Odin options get ticked for a PIT? I tried [F. Reset Time] [Re-Partition] [Auto Reboot] [Nand Erase All] previously and it didn't seem to work. I saw a recovery type post that suggested ticking [Phone EFS Clear] but seems to me that is a tick towards Brick - and the Recovery being offered was to a KK ROM anyway.

I just looked at your post again - I realise I might have a wrong idea. Although the leaked ROM is KK, I was assuming flashing the CSC would upgrade my phone - is that the case or can I use your 6 steps just to change my PIT and then do the 4.3 RDLV process to have a root 4.3 phone?
Downloading it now - started with the torrent but that's running slow; I will let it run to completion to maybe help some others get it faster but I've got the Storage Cow one running as well. We'll see which one arrives first Either way I'll leave it seeding.

Yeah, you should be able to.
I tried flashing the MK2 ROM after flashing that CSC. It worked perfectly. But then I upgraded to kitkat. So I can't test JB stuff anymore.

Well, it let me flash the vega BTU MK2 ROM but now there's a wifi problem. Still waiting for cygwin to download so I can RDLV on the XSA ROM. There seems to be some kind of conflict between BTU and Australian settings. Says to turn on wireless and actually finds my SSID's but then doesn't connect properly. le sigh...

Well it's been coming up to 24 hours with no phone but I seem to have found my way.
The problem seems to have been a mismatch between BL, CSC and PIT. In trying to get off the Hong Kong set up I wound up with a ZHU BL, BTU CSC and XSA CP and AP. It worked but I had no wifi. tried a few things to get it working and in trying to flash an XSA CSC (I think it was XSA) I got the Knox bit change. With no wifi I thought maybe the problem was the BUT-based CP needed changing. In trying to fix that, somehow I triggered Knox
I tried DL & Install of Omega 6 (it's a 4.3 - not ready to go KK yet) but although it completed nicely (so many ROM's got hidden or system errors in Odin) the phone didn't start. I tried installing Philz so I could run things from the extSDcard but an XSA wouldn't work nor would anything I had below MJ7. Last Phone Info view I had I still had a ZHU CP, even though AP and CSC were XSA-based.
Finally I got the MJ7 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...9005xxudmj7-pre-rooted-knox-free-odex-bl-free and it did the trick.
It's been a learning experience but I'd be happier if I knew for sure both what triggered the Knox bit (I was being very careful about it) and why some of the other ROM installs simply didn't work.

Resurrecting this one because I'm looking for info on flashing my 32G HK Note 3, but it came with KK pre-installed. So I'm not sure what differences I have to be aware of. Any tips?

For whoever still experiences issues with HK 32GB n9005 devices, After wasting half a day on that crap, i was able to flash N9005ZSUGOK2_N9005OZSGOK2_TGY from sammobile coupled with the PIT attached.

Ota update problem

I have galaxy s7 edg, When i try to ota updat it downland the updat, then restart to install, then it restart and start to install, when reaches 28% it show a yellow triangle witht ! And dose not complete the installation.
Iv done wip cash and data, and tried factory reset.
My phone is sm-g935fd, south East Asian version, and iv installed uae rom because i need arabic language, i dont know if this is the reason? And what can i do..?

Does your phone restart at all or are you in a bootloop? If so, you might have to download the full flashable odin version and start from the beginning. You will likely lose all your data though.

I'm with onurd, start again. Sounds like you have flashed an incompatible ROM\firmware.

1. Download the latest UPDATE for XSG (United Arab Emirates). SM-G935FD uses the same firmwares than SM-G935F.
2. UnZIP it and you will see 5 files (The one starting with HOME_CSC_ isn't necessary)
3. Open ODIN and add all 4 files in the correct position (AP file with AP box, CP file with CP box, BL file with BL box & CSC file with CSC box).
4. Reboot your device in DOWNLOAD MODE and conect it to your pc.
5. Start flashing.
6. Wait till the process finish. Done.

Is the OTA for the UAE ROM, or the original version?

Installing BTU rom help

Hi Guys I was one of you for a long time then drifted to the darkside with apple. I am back but so much has changed and I want to ensure that I dont goose up.
I have a SM G935F S7 edge
I have contacted my provider and recieved sim unlock code. Placed alternative sim in phone and entered the code and it returned sim unlock. (its a pay as you go sim i used to unlock with no credit so I cant test I can make a call)
I am torn between rooting and not because of my banking app with Barclays, but on the advice of others I would like to try a stock samsung rom without all the bloatware.
I have sith super backup backed up my contacts apps call logs and sms messages and saved them to google drive.
So have I dont all i need before flashing and if so which stock rom can I use. do I simply use the most recent BTU from smmobile for my country or is there a better way to select the rom I should install.
Look forward to your answers but if anyone has Barclays app working on root let me know then I will just take the plunge I care not about the warranty as I have alternative insurance which wouldnt care.
Thanks again in advance

One of the reasons I haven't rooted is for the same reason as you. Barclays are a real pain in the arse to rooted customers. I have tried everything to get around this but nothing can. The only other option is logging in via the website but every so often this requries a card reader so it can be a pain in the arse.
Anyway, to answer your question, you seem to have covered anything. BTU is probably your best option if you would like stock samsung with less bloat. Although, I believe you will not receive any OTA updates and would have to update manually when updates become available.

Also, yes I have tried the method on reddit. It did not work for me. I gave up trying in the end and have not rooted my most recent S7.

BTU is UK unbranded.
Download this: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/116121/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FBTU1BPK3_BTU/ this is the latest
Also download odin 3.11.1 the link is just below the details on the download page.
once everything has finished downloading, backup important data on your phone and put your phone into download mode, unzip the Rom file, there will be 5 files inside, delete CSC_HOME (you don't need it), Flash BL, CP, CSC and AP all with odin, but in odin settings, select Re-partition, F.reset time, Auto-Reboot, then start, the CSC file contains a PIT file which will wipe your phone.
Here is my thread on Sammobile confirming the flash: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34984
I did the same with my S7 Edge to debrand it, I can confirm the Barclays app still works as its Samsung official software it doesn't trip knox, although I'm fed up now of waiting 6 months for android 7 I'm thinking of just going to a custom rom, i'll just use the browsers to goto Barclays.
The only way the Barclays app wont work is if you have ever flashed a custom recovery, rom, or rooted which all trip the knox counter to 0x1

Doesn't really matter to be honest, just means you loose a bit of space as the BTU firmware file is one of the smallest out of the lot due to the lack of bloatware, repartition would have given you this space as user storage, but its not much to be fair.

Still think I might redo it when finished. the reason being is I let samsung reinstall stuf where I feel I should just have loaded super backup on my device then restored that way.
Plus I stupidly said yes to microsoft stuff beacause I need outlook but I dont need all the other crap.

Wich firmeware select to flash s7 edge from 935V to 935U

I read that I can install the firmeware of sm-935U in my sm-935V, but when i enter in sammobile page ,there is a huge list of 935U firmeware, wich of those do i have to select to work fine in my phone

If you look at the numbers they are all the same.
Just be sure to flash the CSC fine and not the Home_CSC one when changing the firmware. Remove all the google users first too. All your apps will be deleted.

If you look at the numbers they are all the same.
Just be sure to flash the CSC fine and not the Home_CSC one when changing the firmware. Remove all the google users first too. All your apps will be deleted.

I did a similar flash but didn't remove google users. The factory reset protection messages appeared, I entered credentials, and things started reloading. What else did the factory reset protection do that I don't what it to do?

Unable to flash back BST rom after flashing ATT rom

I have a Boost 205U. I managed to flash an ATT rom using the patched ODIN. But I need to flash the Boost rom again so that I can request a sim unlock. The flash goes successfully (BL, AP, CSC, Home) but I still see it sticks to ATT (shows the ATT logo, csc is att). I verified that the rom I'm flashing is a BST
What could be causing this issue?

3. Flash each part of the firmware into its slot.
BL_20xxxxxxx.tar.md5 goes into the BL slot
AP_20xxxxxxx.tar.md5 goes into the AP slot
CP_20xxxxxxx.tar.md5 goes into the CP slot
CSC_xxxxxx.tar.md5 goes into the CSC slot

I did that. Matched each of the files correctly. But I keep seeing ATT. I've also tried downloading other versions of the Boost firmware but the CSC still shows up as ATT. Something is off!

CSC is supposed to erase everything unlike CSC_HOME. I did however flash CSC_HOME with the same result Something is awfully off! :silly:

I'm aware! I flashed the same baseband (and even went higher since) to no avail.

I found the solution.
Make sure to use the right SIM before flashing. It picks up the carrier info from the SIM.
If you need it to show BST, flash an non-carrier (that comes with unlocked phones) ROM, type in *#272*IMEI, select the carrier you want to change to and voila!

Newer versions of phones have small packages that change depending on the sim inserted.
Learned that the wild way with a galaxy 9 plus

Just wanted to know if you had any issues with network not working with sims on the phone ?
