You should be golden. The firmware is the same for European countries which have vodafone as a provider, e.g. Germany AND of course the UK.
You can verify this is the original vodafone firmware by going to Play Store > Apps - there should be a small icon named "Recommended by Vodafone". Also, you should be able to pay for apps via your vodafone phone plan.
EDIT: I have exactly the same firmware on my phone, and it's definitely a vodafone officiall fw, because I can use my mobile plan to buy apps, which does not work on any unbranded firmwares. This is the only reason I stick with this firmware.
Thanks! I cant seem to find that icon though recommended by vodafone, do you know where abouts it could be at all?
Should look like this. But then again, this is in Germany, might be completely different in Britain, mate...

Thanks! I know what you mean now, unfortunately I do not have it :S not sure what I need to install to have it. I didnt install a new kernel file when I updated the firmware, could this be the problem at all? and how would I install it if it is that with odin
I do not think that the kernel's the problem. See, the kernel is included in the tar-file you flashed and matches that particular firmware exactly. Might be you Brits do not get that vodafone icon in Play Store at all (just a wild guess).
Have you checked for any Vodafone apps (MyWeb, Music Shop, etc.)? They're real easy to spot, as they are all themed red and silver.
But in my opinion you needn't worry about not having an official fw. I checked my own phone, and everything matches the data you posted here.
Yea i have all the other apps including myvodafone, etc. and they all work fine. maybe you're right. but i think i remember seeing it before I rooted it. yea hopefully it'll be ok just wanted to check it all of those details match a UK Vodafone phone. It seems to match yours but yours is german right?

True, but it's the same firmware vodafone distributes for many many European countries. They don't make one firmware for Great Britain, one for the Netherlands, one for Germany etc. I copied the text below from samfirmware.com. As you can see, all of Europe gets the same software exactly. No worries, you're on the right firmware :laugh:

Sure thing

Hi Guys just in case anyone was wondering I tried one last thing. I installed an old firmware version, for vodafone uk and it was the german version. I then updated firmware through Kies and hey presto!! it updated the firmware to UK Vodafone with all the uk vodafone bits and NOTHING in german. Thanks for all your help and hope this helps someone else to.

Does anyone can extract the csc files that is active on his/hers tab with stock rom for The Netherlands which is not modified?
ROM: Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7500 3G+Wifi Honeycomb 3.1/3.2
File and folder overview:
<CSC>
- system
-- CSCFiles.txt
-- CSCVersion.txt
-- csc
----contents.db
----customer.xml
----others.xml
----sales_code.dat
-- etc
----enforcecopyinglibpackages.txt
Reason: cause I don't have a Dutch/The Netherlands CSC folder on my tab, since I early flashed it to Honeycomb 3.2.
So I don't have the CSC codes active below:
BEN
MMO
ONL
QIC
TFT
TNL
VDF
VDP
XEN
KPN
PHN
Thanks in advance!
I'd like to help you (Belgian GXT 10.1 3G + Wifi)
I just rooted him, but didn't flash another ROM.
So if you can explain how can extract it, I'll do it for you
with other words I can't find the CSC map like you ask.
Thanks for your responce!
The most easiest way is using the app Root Explorer (or other file-explorer app with root capabilities).
* Browse to the folder /system/csc
* copy the folder /system/csc to your "sd-card" --> /sdcard (the folder contains mostly 3-letter folders)
* Exit root app and plug your Tab to your pc.
* Copy it your pc and zip .
here you go
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LO8L5AVC
I hope i could help you with this
Thanks for your fast actions! I will look into it asap.
I looked in to it. You have, 2 bad, only 1 csc and that is your Belgium one. I don't know why though.
Thanks again!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Anyone that can give the firmware and csc code that is used in the Netherlands? No files, just a code.
Verstuurd van mijn GT-P7500 met Tapatalk
Can you tell me the Dutch csc code?!?! Cause Megaupload is dead....
I'm not sure what Samsung did use for a CSC code for The Netherlands. They are looking in to that for me (the said on Facebook).
Official it is one of these:
BEN = NETHERLANDS
MMO = NETHERLANDS
ONL = NETHERLANDS
QIC = NETHERLANDS
TFT = NETHERLANDS
TNL = NETHERLANDS
VDF = NETHERLANDS
VDP = NETHERLANDS
XEN = NETHERLANDS
KPN = NETHERLANDS

I personally don't have any of the above on my Dutch tablet .
Maybe I can help you, but I'm quite new to android. I own a P7510 Wifi only SGT bought in the Netherlands.
I can still access the original stock rom, if I nandroid back to stock.
But before I do I like to know what are these csc files and are those of my P7510 similar on the P7500?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
I checked the firmware code of the P7510 in a shop, but that wasn't the same.
Perhaps the CSC code is. CSC stands for Country Sales Code. You can see it by installing the app "SGS CSC Selector" or "Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC". The selected CSC code is then shown. DONT change it, as it will wipe your tablet to factory defaults.
Edit:
App "Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC" works for sure. You can safely click the first button.
It is also possible to open the folder /system/csc/customer.xml.
Line 5 and 6 describes the selected Sales code.
I finally restored my official ROM (Honeycomb 3.2) with correct CSC code. Still can't use Kies upgrades, but hey...that's whats Odin for. This is how.
Go to:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=3&o=1&m=GT-P7500&r=1#regiona
Download:
P7500XWKL1 ## 2011 December P7500XEUKL1 Europe
--------
(Or use client from http://fus.nanzen.se/ and select
- Firmware: Android - GT-P7500 - Europe
It shows now:
- Product code: GT-P7500UWDXEU
- PDA: P7500XWKHD
- CDC: P7500XEUKH3
- Phone: P7500XWKG1
Check your firmware and download.
But it is the exact same firmware as from the other website and that one is easier to flash (I guess) through Odin.
--------
* When you have downloaded the Zip-file, extract it.
* Please clear and wipe data and cache and do factory defaults.
* Boot your Tab in Odin mode.
* In odin select your downloaded firmware in Boatloader, PDA and CSC (leave Phone) blank. And click start.
* After a while it reboots (if it bootloops, then clear data and cache partitions again).
When you start your tab you'll have the official ROM version for The Netherlands active. And in my case, the Dutch CSC code PHN. Finally!

Thanks I have saved this for later for whenever I want to return to stock.
I downloaded a zip for my P7510 from SamMobile, but it contains only one file.
Did you mean I need to put that same file in Bootloader PDA and CSC?
Unfortunatly they put a password on the zip... (I will figure out later how to solve this, or do you know...)

About the 1 file: that's correct. I filled in same files in both PDA and CSC. It did not fail. But not sure that it does anything. At least PDA needs to be filled, that's for sure.
About the password: samfirmware.com OR sammobile.com
If you have troubles, better sign up on there forum and search for possible solutions. Couldnt find anything with p7510 and password atm, so should be fine I guess.

I just saw on sammobiole that the OTA ICS 4.0.4 was relased for the GT-P7510 PHN, which can be found here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/171858862/2649dfb/GT-P7510_PHN_249719138.bin.html
I don't know what to do with it, but if someone does, please let me know. I guestt the full package for ODIN will be released soon.
From the Xperia X10 there is a easy method to change the firmware (debranding/branding) by changing the customization number in the build.prop. Similar threads exisits for those forums, but not yet for Xperia S. So I'm creating it here. Post yours and I will add to the first post as and when I get time. Even though the root isn't available, this will surely be useful for many.
How to find your customization number:
- Go to the dialer and press *#*#7378423#*#*
- Go to service info
- Go to software info
- Post the customization version (a way to check if your firmware is to look at the bookmark in the internet browser, a generic firmware version will always start up with the Sony mobile site)
Or look up the number in the build.prop file in /system
Please post the your location and any branding information as well.
Information is provided as given by the users. I'm just compiling it and not responsible for any wrong info.

Did you flash/debrand?
ah, that would be the reason then, i'm unlocked and upgraded to .67 nevermind then.
Edit: I will update this post later today with my partners system settings (unlocked but not flashed, so the info should be the same as T-Mobile NL) if they are different.
Edit 2: turns out it was flashed without me knowing, so same as me

I did, using the software on this forum. Only because the PC software kept insisting my software was up to date (I was on .62 before).

502 lollipop for france is out for g850f.
i have a question - there is a chain or a specific path that samsung follow for releasing updates in specific regions?
to be more specific when lollipop arrives in romania for galaxy alpha g850f?
i saw that orange lollipop has been released for g850f in romania, but for the unlocked variant is still missing!
if someone has any idea about region releases, please post some details and i will give a BIG THANKS!
michael
no one?
somebody? any clues?
WTF?
There is no Orange Lollipop ... there is only a late update to KITKAT from Orange Romania that as usual is the crappiest mobile provider ever!
yep, sorry, my bad!
i saw something wrong.
still, about when will the update drops nearby, from first french release, there is a country pattern or something?
Nope, it could be hours, days, weeks, months depending on the mobile providers. The France release could be a test phase and after if results are positive they could go global.
Problems with software could lengthen the process and the recent apps button bug that some experienced is bound to do just that.
Or you could update to lollipop with odin. But so far only the french version is out.
5.0.2 is out in france. You can download the update from sammobile.com. Go to their site, search for galaxy alpha in firmware section, then follow the links to download it. When done, follow the tutorial on how to install odin and drivers for windows PC.I did this, first try and worked like a charm. I'm using 'international' 850F. It's really a simple procedure.
yes, but...
i have installed the french version, but i need my country version when comes out from the motive that i hope is less buggy...
there are tests now to ensure the other versions are bugless, but i dont know how many weeks we must wait for.
in the end they will push the 5.1.1 update, cuz 5.0.2 is difficult to make it clean considering google got issues too with him
when on android we have to be able to control oure frustrations regarding updates, especially from oure carriers ...so...
KEEP CALM AND WAIT FOR IT cuz im not calm and im reconsider my next strategy of buying future phone
anyone with some news about when lollipop is released in other regions? ...for G850F
there are 2 weeks from france release?
how much do we have to wait?
i hope not another 2...
The best sourse for news remains Sammobile. When the update is ready, it will be posted there. We just have to have patience.

It is carrier specific. The french version is basically a test release to the public and all carriers get the same firmware. It is up to them to release that version related to them.
Basically dont blame samsung, ask your carrier when it will be released
what carrier? i'm a free carrier user! i relay on a carrier just with contract but phone was bought from shop. i can choose any carrier i want! so... who gives the updates for unlocked phones? it's samsung, i think.
corret me if not

Your csc is your carrier since thats what you were asking for, in my case my unbranded DBT alpha still has to wait for debital, the german unbranded version.
Also since you dont care, then you have your version with the french release.

Doesnt matter, it will work on the SM-G850F regardless and its a new build. Plus this is a thread about Region updates.
I would flash but I dont have time at the moment but I am sure its featured with multiple CSC's so it should not effect the use to anyones area. All SM-G850F have the same hardware and features. The difference in CSC are region tailored with specific bloatware and minor differences like lockscreen shortcuts and signal icons (some use LTE and others will have 4G). Most importantly this build has a new changelog which means Samsung may have fixed some issues with the French build.
Can i get it on danish?

Helloo,
So, if i flash the new UAE, can i still get everything on Danish? I mean, is there multiple language on? English would be fine too ..
Another thing, would this trigger knox? Thinking its not a custom, but a official ROM from Samsung, so it shouldn't trigger, am i right or?
I haven't flashed it yet but I believe it will have all supported languages. It won't trip Knox as long as its official from Samsung it won't touch knox.

如题，最近台版、港版、都已经更新了61.0.A.11.92系统，但是我并没有收到，不清楚是不是因为我刷了TW版本的固件所导致的

MOD EDIT: English Translation Below
As mentioned above, the 61.0.A.11.92 system has been updated recently in Taiwan and Hong Kong, but I did not receive it. I don’t know if it’s caused by flashing the TW version of the firmware.

I have the Hong Kong version, Sony ha not released any update, only one app update.
Well, XPERIA 1 III is a special model - if you flash firmware of OTHER REGION, you will not be receiving any OTA. I found this by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* - normally you can find your region code in 'Software Info'. If you flash other version, Phone Software Version will be GLOBAL-C2-user, not HK or TW.

That's interesting. I have mine showing "GLOBAL-C2 - user". But I also received the 61.0.A.11.92 OTA.
(I didn't flash, btw.)

Just bought a 2nd hand Xperia 1 III 512G in China .
Seller said it's from H.K. but I'm not sure since the charger plug is 2 pins - For China & Taiwan
Not the 3 pins - For UK & HK . The charger type # shown as - AC-0540-CN
Current software version 61.0.A.23.20 / GLOBAL-C2 - user
Have all the Google apps and that's the reason I have to buy 2nd hand HK version since Chinese version don't have al the Google apps
My question .
It's 3/23 ; I still did not get OTA for Android 12 . I think this phone might be flashed before it's with me
How will I know if the phone is original from HK or original China version and flashed the ' GLOBAL-C2 ' software .
you have the china version, if you have the hk version the adapter is AC-0540-hk or XQZ-UC11 and the android 12, its regional, hong kong already has the android 12 update along time ago. whether yours is hk or china, if its f/w flashed, it makes no different.
btw the hong kong version is also a chinese version, but it has googles.b

Google search the below, xxx is your Sony Product Code. Click on the link that starts with software.sonymobile.com, usually the first one.
Code:
sony xxx
example from your screenshot would be as below.
Code:
sony 43040280
Search for the product code number on that page. If it matches, look at the <name> field at the top to find out your region.
It looks like you have a Customized_CN product.
You have a Chinese region phone flashed with HK firmware. In this case you will not get OTA, as mentioned by other people in this forum who tried flashing other region firmware. They do not get OTA.
Yes , I do believe above is just the situation I'm facing . What I don't understand is
Current version of 61.0.A.23.20 were OTA updated from earlier version when I go the phone and reset everything
Since I can get last OTA ; Why I can't get the Android 12 OTA
Is it possible you got scammed/lied to? That your phone is actually a China region phone with China region firmware. If it is then the behavior described above makes sense. As seen in the link below, the China region firmware was on the same version you are stuck on before receiving their Android 12 update.
Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC72) - Customized CN
The latest software and firmware versions for the Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC72) XperiCheck.com checks the Sony servers every 5 minutes to always display the latest information.
xpericheck.com
The China version only recently got the Android 12 update. And according to Chinese message board sources mentioned from:
New Update / Xperia 1 III / 61.1.A.4.78
forum.xda-developers.com
This latest update will be released on a new staggered schedule, meaning some phones get it first, others get it later in china. It means you may get the Android 12 update OTA later than expected. Maybe lets observe if you are getting the OTA update above. If you are, you may have been conned.
Hi there, not sure where to post this question (cuz I didn't find any general thread about general android) so I will post it here
You see, I am looking for a specific firmware: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s-iii/firmware/GT-I9300/MOT/download/I9300XXALF2/5302/
because our carrier has bundled an app with it that I can only find here
the problem is that sammobile now charges for downloading older firmware and tools like Frija or SamFirm can only download the latest one
I also checked here: https://samfw.com/firmware/GT-I9300/MOT
but the only have the latest fw for the phone, and I need the oldest
are there any other places that I can check
If I knew this will happen I would start archiving firmwares
Thanks for Anwsering and Best Regards

why exactly you need 4.0.4 you want to run some specific app that requires it? just try some firmwares and see if they work. it would not really matter which one you take. if its about the carrier you will be looking for baseband and csc.
and by the way if you downgrade your firmware / modem it will break your efs / imei and phone will be dead. its actually not possible or very difficult, because the efs file structure was changed in 2013 to efsv2. absolutely not recommended.

Thanks, I dont want to flash it, just looking for an application thats hiding inside
You see our carrier (Telekom Slovenija, CSC: MOT)
Had a built in app called MobilnaTV.apk that I cannot find anywhere else on the internet (but I do remember it was included back in the Galaxy S3 days)
Why Android 4.0.4? Because in 2014 our carrier changed branding from Mobitel (thats why CSC is still MOT) to Telekom Slovenija, and discontinoud MobilnaTV service, meaning that from Galaxy S4 onwards the app was not included anymore
Here is a picture

if you only want to watch tv on your phone, there may be other apps and it should work via browser, too. maybe you dont need that specific app, firmware or baseband / carrier. i would go through all the stock roms you find for your country if youre after that app.

Thanks
I found it in Android 4.3
I dont want to watch internet tv, and even if I wanted that
The service is long gone, I just wanted to have an app for API 7
The app is not obfuscacated so now I need to figure out how to create a helloworld project for API7 with modern android studio, put the code and resources back in, and now I have my own app for API 7 (Android 2.2), that actualy looks nice (back in Api 7 days default apps (helloworld like) looked like crap, only samsung apps looked nice and this one)
If anyone has an old Android Studio project (even HelloWorld is fine) for API7 that I could open in latest Android studio, that would also be great, cuz latest android studio only allows me to create an app for Android 4.0.4 (API 19 iirc) and up
