I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on splitting a single package ROM into 3 parts and vice versa. The reason I want to do this is because I want to keep the Modem and CSC of the UK ROM but want the software of a 2.3.6 ROM which does not have the XEU CSC. I have done 2 days of searching and researching without any luck.
I have also looked for the alternative of the latest 2.3.6 Gingerbread Firmware in 3 parts to flash in Odin with no luck whatsoever. Therefore, being able to split a file will help me hours of wasted searching with no results. This information does not seem to be available anywhere and I am pretty sure it would help others. I have also tried ROM Packager but I do not think that it is compatible with the s5830 or the Firmwares available at SamMobile. Thanks in advanced.
Flash the XEU csc after flashing your desired firmware?
In order to do this I still need to split my existing ROM to get the CSC and modem files out right?
Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of different CSC or Modem to download. I did see a CSC thread somewhere here on this forum but can't seem to find it through the search. Please if anyone knows, can you please post me the link to that thread. Thanks

I got a new S2. Its GSM from Germany. I tried to flash an ICS Theme. But now i got bootloops. I tried to Wipe everything but it doesnt work. I am able to use Odin or Kies. Can somone help me to bring it back to where it was original. without any theme and no root? i got Odin and Kies installed. Where do i get Stock Rom for 1und1 Germany or Stock German rom and how do i install it?
which is the right firmware to download. i dont get it which one is the right one and which one is the newest to use for german language
i got these information from my rom XXKI4, KJ1
Get carrier-specific firmware here or if your carrier isn't listed in that thread get country-specific firmware here. You could also use Checkfus (do a search on here) to get the latest firmware available for your carrier that you'd normally get via Kies.
thanks a lot, but i dont know which one of the country specific is the newest and right one for me. Can you help me out?
Looks like there's only one available in Intratech's official carrier firmware thread for O2 Germany (XWKI1), Checkfus says KI8 is available for O2 Germany (Dated: 22/11/11) assuming you have a I9100 (check the sticker under your battery to make doubly sure.
I don't know which one is more recent as Intra's firmwares don't have dates on them, but I'm guessing the KI8 available thru Checkfus is more recent as this would also be available via Kies. I don't think it will make a great deal of difference which one you use at the end of the day given you don't seem to know which firmware you had on your phone originally. Either will work just fine with your phone I would imagine, provided you definitely have a I9100 or I9100T
Up to you which one you use.

thanks a lot for your answers. i just flashed a custom rom andy everything is good
Howdy.
Hoping some one can direct me to a working unbranded firmware for SG2.
I have obtained one listed at Sammobile:
I9100XWLP8_I9100XSALP4_XSA
4.0.3 2012 April I9100XSALP4 Australia
But it is not in english (I think it's polish or something) and just crashes the phone so another working one would be more useful I think.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Also, assuming a working firmware exists, is it likely that the phone will stop crashing on start up or is something else likely to be causing this problem. Thanks.

1. Wrong forum
2. Flash this firmware, it's the newest unbranded one and contains all the languages.
Thanks for that. I can't find a link on the web page to down load the firmware.
You can get I9100XWLP8/I9100XSALP4/I9100XXLPS/I9100XWLP8 which is unbranded AU stock ICS from Checkfus. Search for the PC version on here/Google. Then choose Android/I9100/Australia GT-I9100LKJXSA in the pulldown boxes. On the left hand side it will populate the product code/PDA/CSC/phone fields, then click 'check firmware'. This will give you the the details I mentioned in the first line.
From there, click 'download' & it will download/decrypt an Odin flashable firmware package you can flash following the usual instructions for flashing firmware with Odin (put the package you download in the PDA section of Odin).
Thanks for that,
Does anyone have a straight link to a download please. I'm not in a position to install software just to obtain a download.
Also can anyone advise why the device boots in to a non english language when loading Australian firmwares.
I have tried about 5 different "Unbranded australian firmwares" and they all boot in some language I can't work out. It's eastern european or something.
The phone must be in out of box state when these firmwares are loaded because it doesn't just boot up like when I first got it. There are a series of what appear to be questions I have to answer before the phone will start up. Then it crashes.
Also does anyone know why it would just crash on a new firmware that apparently eveyone else can use without problems. Is there something else I need to install apart from the firmware?
Do I need a kernel or something else with these firmwares?
Any useful help appreciated. Thanks
Does everyone have to read in those characters in the box before they have to post. I find it very difficult to read whats in the boxes. It takes 5 or 6 attempts before this forum accepts my codes.
I found a web site where you can lookup if there are firmwares available.
I'm not allowed to post it
its the home page for that checkfus program
Unfortunately there are none for Australia. Can anyone suggest a working set of droid OS downloads I can use to get this phone working again please?
Full wipe, flash stock ROM, it will be in English.
There are many stock roms for Australia at Sammobile.
You can also use check fus down loader
I am still trying to get a download for unbranded Aust stock ROM GTI9100. Sammobile does not recognise a search for this phone so maybe they no longer support it. I agree trying to get a simple download without having to join another site or get hit with malware is well nigh impossible it seems.
Hi @trebleguy , install this first .
The ROM contains all languages.

Hey guys,
I've been doing some reading and trying to work out the best way to dump a copy of my CSC so that if I flash in a new custom rom from another country that has JB that I can then load in my original CSC to get the settings back.
I've seen this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106502
But one of the first things it says to look for CSCFiles.txt doesn't exist on my S3.
Is there a better method for backing this up? Additionally would like to backup my modem just to be 100% sure so ran through another thread to backup the modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705650) but the backup image came out significantly larger than the other modem files I have downloaded and the MD5 doesn't match what is supposedly the same version modem.
And one more question, I found some time ago a really good thread explaining the firmware versions as there is B firmware and C if I recall correctly and the relation of these to the modems and why flashing the wrong one can have issues. I haven't been able to locate that thread again to bookmark it, if anyone can point me in the direction of this it'd be awesome.
Beacuse there is none..all the Firmwares are more or less same with little region specific customizations..
You can flash any firmware if you are okay with the region specific changes..
There is no need to backup your modem you can get it easily from here..just note which modem you are using currently..
CSC again does not make much of a difference other then providing you with region specific customization and updates.....you dont need to back it up ..you can change you CSC using dialer or CSC changer from the market..

I understand I can flash any firmware, hence asking about the CSC's to be able to retain my regional customization's.
Modem was more a paranoia of making sure what I have is exactly what is available on here. E.g. pull it out MD5 and compare. I'd rather be sure and pull the modem out myself and confirm.
I had seen references to B type firmwares and about using specific modems with certain firmwares for compatibility.. Hence the question regarding this.
I've got the CSC changer but isn't that only able to change the CSC to the ones in that firmware? From looking at the firmware list in some of the reference threads that listed the CSC's they came with they didn't list my region.
Basically I want to know that when I flash in another firmware, in this case the 4.1.1 from the UK that I can load in the CSC and get the region specific customization's back and at the same time have a route back to the original modem and firmware that I have taken backups of myself.
With that all said the modem issue is sorted but still need to confirm I can migrate the CSC from my current firmware to the new.

Yes copy your original CSC folder and files to the new rom then flash it .

Hi Everyone,
Several questions for you. I have a Galaxy SIII i9300 and I'm
New to Android here, although I have had a few years with WM phones, this is all new to me. Been reading , reading and learning.
I would deeply appreciate it if someone would help me with these questions:
1.) Can someone please tell me where I can find what my alpha 3-digit country code is? (the codes as listed on SamMobile site) I already know about using *#1234# to find AP, PDA and CSC but not where to get these country codes.
2.) Where can I dl my country code's Stock firmware for backup? I've searched XDA forums but all that I've been able to find is Singapore Stock ROMs in the XDA forum. My particuliar stock ROM has an updated date of Jan 14, 2013, maybe this Stock ROM isn't available yet?
3.) If I dl the SamMobile firmware for my country code will it be compatable with the XDA forum's instructions for Newbys? (so that I can flash back my stock Rom either with SamMobile's Stock dl's or XDA's Stock ROMs? ), in other words is there a difference between flashing SamMobile's Stock ROMS and XDA member's posted Stock ROMs?
4.) Can I use ANY odin3 version or are the different versions that are ROM-specific? Will any Odin3 versions work equally well with any ROMs?
Any finally Thank You!, to all of you for your dedication and support and most importantly your help. - MobiManiacs
1. That's what CSC is
2. sammobile
3. yes
4. firmware IS a ROM, it'll replace the current one
I Need Some Clarification Please

Thank You for your response Glebun. I can't see your Thank You Button to hit as I have a piece of software running in the background that was designed to strip-out some of the html coding on all web-sites and I'm not certain that it can be temporarily turned off at this point. I will work on it. So I will have to say Thank you this way then.
I think i figured out some of my own questions, such as the first one, and I believe that I can find this answer by *#272* IMEI#. I would think it can only be found if my phone is rooted, as I tried on a Stock non-rooted phone and doesn't work.
On my question 2.) When I use SamMobile Stock ROM there are 2 files in the package, do I need the SS_ DL.dll file AND the tar file for Odin?
On my question 3.) So what you are saying then is that there is no difference if I use SamMobile's Stock ROM or the same CSC ROM posted by a XDA member? SamMobile ROM and XDA posted ROM are the same then?
On my question 4.) So can I use ANY version of Odin3?. There are many versions of Odin3 available.
Again,
Thanks

2) You need the .tar file to flash via Odin
3) There is no difference, if it is the original ROM, nevertheless some original ROMs here on XDA are for instance pre-rooted, the thread should tell you anyway
4) I guess the newest version should work? Have a look in the Odin How-To threads
How Do You Now Get The Country Code Now That It's Blocked?

I appreciate your clarification Chrismast.
I read somewhere that the *#272*IMEI# has been blocked by Samsung on the latest firmware updates. Can anyone confirm this? If this is true then how can we know the 3-digit alpha country code of our current stock ROM? Is there a fix or safe file to apply, or maybe another method?
So any luck on this one. I have searched all over and still can't find an answer. Did you ever figure out how to find the country code. Here in South Africa there are three options. South Africa - XFA, South Africa - XFE and South Africa - XFV. Would be awesome to know where to find the code for my phone.
Did you try to dial *#1234#?
It works on my i9305....
That gives me all other info but not the 3 digit code after the country.
Anyway seems I answered my own question. Decided to install kies. Something I have almost never used. Seems when you install KIES and connect your device it gives you all the info and the 3 digit code you see after the country on Sammobile.
I have a Tab s7+ Verizon US tablet that is currently locked by FRP. I'm fairly certain I can bypass this by flashing a combination image from Odin, but I cannot seem to find the appropriate firmware files. I've tried downloading through Frija, I've tried searching this forum, and all of google as well. I cannot find a source for the SM-T978U firmware. I can get Frija to offer me others from other countries, but not from here. Can someone please point me in the right direction, or at the very least tell me if its safe to flash a firmware from a different region? THanks in advance.
