the only reason i think thats not it is because it defaulted to a different language when i flashed it, never had that with any rom before.

yes mine even shows this and its from Australia, that is the Base, and then EE would probably have there bloatware ontop
that EVR one from sammobile will also show that same number
My kernel is Perseus
OK, s so it's great because i have th eright one.
one last question. as i still have no imei i'm going to take it to repair or return to t-mobile.
when i go to odin mode it says this:
odin mode
product name: gt-p9305
custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
system status: custom
why does it show custom? i still have root installed, should i remove it? how do i remove it?
it's better to remove it if i'm giving it back to t-mobile.
Custom means its not official firmware or been rooted .
Triangle Away to reset rom counter .
#Flash your original or stock rom reboot then factory reset .
jje
i'll give it a go, but i think root not going away is the problem here.
will report back in 10 mins when i've done that.

depends on the tech guys if they pick up on it... why dont you open the phone up shock or put a heat gun on the main cpu..that way it wont even boot thy will just replace it for u
really!? I don't really want to do something like that.
is there anything more I can do to get the status corrected?
just thought of something else, if someone else backed up their efs, edit the imei and i restore it to my phone, would that work?

I read about someone trying that in one of the other threads and it didn't work.
Can't you use triangle away then flash the stock rom?
i already done that,but it still says status = custom in odin mode.
all i want is for the status to say "normal/unmodified/official" whatever it is supposed to say when out of the box. then i'm happy to take it to a repair centre and even pay a little to get it repaired if i have to.

Hi all i have returned to the android scene from IOS trying to work out a means of downloadong the factory/carrier Firmwares i remember from when i had a i9000
It was possible to force kies to download the releasle from Samsung with the spoofer tool despite googling for two days straight and trwaling thru the forums i have not been.able to find a means or even of a download of the. firmware im wondering about
Galaxy S 2 running 2.3.3 gingerbread
PDA: I9100TDOKH1
PHONE: I9100TDOKG2
CSC: I9100TTNZKH1
Im presently dubious about attempting to attain root on this device if i cannot get kies to flash it back to stock rom or even.maintain a copy of this rom
any heads up or advice where to move forwards.
Im hoping the carrier soon releases the 2.3.4 update shortly... failing that i will just debrand with another 9100T rom
cheers any advice for the next move would be great!
I would suggest asking Intratech for it in his carrier-branded firmware thread in the development section. The Voda firmware is listed, so TCNZ's shouldn't be too hard for the man to track down.

Wow on further inspection... thats what i call a Awesome/Innovative Tool!
Nice work man!
I think it may come available soon
I think Telecom only released their branded handsets in the last 6 days.. so perhaps the Firmware will come available soon..
Failing that maybe the 2.3.4 update will be what comes available (if ever)
Perhaps a debrand is inorder...
It sounds like Telecom have fairly heavily modified the firmware which is going to make future updates very slow. By comparison Vodafone left it almost completely stock-standard.

Yes you should flash a stock ROM or AOSP ROM. Flashing doesn't void warranties these days. You can reset your download count using what's called a USB jig aka resistor, So when you break it you can just reflash a stock rom reset the download count an Samsung will never know any better.

If you do flash a firmware and you want a JIG to reset it then I've got one you can borrow if you're around Wellington. Otherwise I think mine was about $12 including postage off eBay.

Here's an email I received after asking Telecom if they supported it in July (originally posted on Geekzone):
Thank you for your email query and we apologise for the late response, as this needed to come from our network team. Please find their response below:
"No we currently do not have NCFD feature enabled. Because only the handset benefits from Fast Dormancy for battery life purposes. In fast dormancy the handset notifies the network to release the air interface so it’s put into IDLE state much quicker than going through to Cell-FACH and finally to Idle. This can cause much more signaling on the network between the RNC, NodeB and mobile device which (increase in signaling load) can lead to congestion.
We have a number of features on the network that can work with Fast Dormancy and not cause a large increase in signaling load, however there is no current ETA for deployment."
Should you require any further assistance please email or call 0800550120 or *120, we would be happy to assist.

I've used many different modems (probably all of them to be honest), but am quite happy with the KI3 one at the moment. It's giving me no issues as far as XT's network goes, but I don't travel a lot so am not really a good judge. It does give me more range with Wifi though, something I have had issues with on other modems.
No idea on stock firmware. Has Intratech posted a link? He finds most of them.
I've recently just bought an S2 and have been reading through this forum, all the things I can do once I've rooted my S2.
I've never had an Android phone before, and I know nothing about it.
I've followed all the noob guides on how to root, and I just can't get the same things up on screen as the guides show. I've no idea how to put the CWM recovery zip file on my phones sd card.
This is the guide i'm trying to follow;

Ok. You're in the right place.
That guide you mention above where you're supposed to put the file on your sd card. It means your external sd card. So you could do it either by turning on usb storage when your phone is plugged into your computer, or by popping the sd card out and putting it into a card reader.

Are you sure it was from the above link? It sounds like you installed a Claro branded firmware, instead of an unbranded one. And that link doesn't have a Claro branded firmware that I saw.
Plus, I think pelpa87 intended for you to flash one of the CF-root kernels for you to get root, not an entire firmware.

Go back to here, choose an UNbranded firmware and flash it.
I'd suggest I9100XWLPG.
Do what the post above me says, then if you want you can try using the CF-Root kernel to get root.

Dude. If you still have the Claro branding, and the only thing that changed is you got the yellow triangle, then you're doing it wrong. That means you probably just flashed the CF-root kernel for XWLPG... because if you would have flashed the whole firmware, it would NOT have the yellow triangle, and you would NOT have the Claro branding anymore.
You want the first link. Not the second. The second is if you want to root AFTER you flash the first.

Hello!
After flashing many custom ROMs and leaks my phone was acting a little funky, so I decided to go back to factory stock. I fired up kies on my pc and went to "Emergency recovery" It asked me for my serial number (I thought this was for getting the right stock firmware) After everything was done the phone booted up normally but I ended up with a "La'Fleur" boot logo
All I wanted was my stock firmware (Without having to look for the firmware, modem,etc myself) I though kies would do a better job than me :silly:
Sigh...
Any of you experienced this before?
Same problem here
Dont know how this happens...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Kies gives you the firmware that matches your serial number. So, your phone originally has this firmware, or an earlier version of it, i.e. your phone was branded.
If you don't like it get the latest unbranded firmware for your region from sammobile.com and flash with odin.

Well it's suposed to work like that... but my phone is the plain gray international version. That's why it's so funny to me. I created this thread to see if some other people were having this issue as well and it seems so.
Anyway, it worked for me because it restored the stock modem and cleaned the whole nand. As soon as I saw that "La'Fleur" logo, I wiped it and threw CM 10.1 at it. Working great so far.
My point is, Samsung should do better (as usual, with everything) at keeping their records.
Well, none of us know what happend. Could be the carrier originally planned to carry this model, bought it from Samsung, and later changed their mind and sold it to a third party.
Nothing to show Samsung's records are wrong.

Well, I bought mine at a retail store, unlocked and without any carrier bloatware. Just to point out "La'Fleur" is a special edition of galaxy devices featuring a special 'floral' design paint coat, that Samsung released for valentines; with ROM customization to match the design. As with mine being the plain grey version and using the 'official' method to get the stock ROM, I think I'm pretty safe to say that there's something wrong going somewhere at Samsung.
This is exactly what I was trying to avoid downloading the firmware, modem, etc and flashing it myself, getting something different than the one that came when I first took it out of the box... And this is exactly what I got using Samsung's method. LOL :laugh:
Kudos at Samsung! /s

Sad to learn that I am not the only one. Mine is i9305, bought from Samsung's authorized retail shop, International edition grey. firmware changed to la fleur edition after emergency FW recovery. embarrassing to use it in front of others. Need to change lock screen. Has anyone tried to get help from Samsung? thanks
i have been trying all day to unlock this phone. on a website, i saw that the best way to unlock a Galaxy Mega was to flash an unlocked rom via ODIN, but that seems to be my problem. i found one, flashed it, and then i had the logo, and then nothing, only black. then, i looked furthermore and found the reason why i have that is that i flashed the wrong rom.
my cellphone was bought from Bell, so its BMC! i flashed the BMC rom, and now, i have :
Image size too large ! ! W:1080, H:1920
display image fail
SECURE FAIL: Kernel
plz help, fast!

The same thing happened to me and a bunch of other people. You have to flash the pit file and modem/tz file from this thread with Odin. The files are posted on page 24. Then you can install a custom ROM like Beanstalk. It runs perfectly on my Mega.

I give you a tip...
Next time buy a normal unlocked model and not form a carrier like att or whatever
The i9205 in europe works 100% no problems man.
Only fact is that the galaxy mega is so bad supported by custom roms...

Hi..check my post here and download the ROOT_JDQ39.I527MVLUBNA3.tar rom which is rooted already and is a rogers rom and is a NA3 based rom which i believe your phone is on now, but it will still work as if you are on bell just remove any rogers stuff from the rom which is only a couple of items anyway and you should be up and running again..make sure to unpack the file first after you have downloaded it to get the .tar file inside and then just flash with odin.
See if this rom will help you out as it should i believe. :good:
lets try starmaster10's now....

Thanks, Dave_N. Your steps removed the SECURE FAIL KERNEL error. Now, I can use the cellphone regular recovery. Then I install CWM, and then I tried to install BeanStalk, but it froze a few seconds after. Same thing with CW11. So I redid your steps again, and got the original recovery, without CWM. Now, ill try starmaster10's.
I'll keep you posted...

You mean your baseband version says unknown actually as this could indicate that you might have updated to the newer kitkit rom which would be NE5 at the end of the baseband version..is this baseband you posted was it at NA3 before flashing..as we just need the last 3 characters from the baseband version like NA3 or NE5 or the original firmware would have been MH1...let me know if you basevand is showing unknown at this time now.

it says Baseband version : UNKNOWN.

in the meantime, i used Kies / Tools / Firmware upgrade and initialization, i entered my phone model (SGH-I527M) and my serial number and this is what I have :
Initialized version : PDA:NE5 / PHONE:NE5 / CSC:NE5 (BMC)

Then this means that the phone must of had a OTA update to NE5 which is the newer kitkat and once you update to this you cannot go back to NA3 based rom or the MH1 based rom due to knox security has locked the bootloader from letting a person going back..if you can get kies ti work to put the NE5 based rom onto your ohone then it will operate normally again..the rom I gave you a link to will not work then it will boot the phone and all..but there is no network..wifi..and sound..I am trying at this time to get a NE5 dump of the system files but I am having problems with that at this time..if kies will not fix it then there is no fix at this time.
Sorry that I cannot help in this situation further as I cannot even update to the NE5 KK rom as my device status is custom and I cannot get it to officiak due to this knox crap..sorry about this..but I will keep looking to get this NE5 system dump files so I can make a flashable odin file out of them to help in this situation that quite a few people are in.

actually to be precize... this is what i found out and tested on my s3mini... i had it rooted and official stock and there was an update avialable for it trough odin and ota, in that time i had a virus on the pc i use (oops downloaded the first stupid link for odin 3.09) so i got stuck, and then i was tbinking something. i searched for the official stock recovery from samsung and downloaded it for my device and then i got into SuperSU and completly removed root. when done i got into my current recovery and flashed the stock recovery amd after that my system said it was official and was able to pull it ota
i dont know if it helps you just wanted to mention and share. you may not find a stock recovery so maybe pull it out of somewhere like the official firmware and download and then pull it out with a root file explorer.

I have tried that also..I had it to official status in both spots on the download page but that know warranty would always stay at 0xffffffff or something like and it still says my device is custom and you cannot get any updates and then I get that image size to big thing .but as soon as I get it to like 0x1 it works but I cannot get the update and there is no update for the kk on my carrier which is sasktel..been doing this stuff for quite a while but this newer kitkat update is sure throwing a monkey wrench into things.
But thanks for the info.

No problem on that part as i do not really want the kk update as i just wanted it to get a system image out of it and make it odin flashable..but the rooting would be the problem on the oifficial kk..but the custom rom here on the site i can use all of them for the mega 6.3 and still have kk that way.

Oops dont mind me i accidently posted on the from thread lol. I removed the comment.
Hi, I have been trawling the internet for a couple of days now trying to figure this out and have just got more confused.
My wife has a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) which automatically updated to 4.3 a while ago. Since then it has been an absolute pain to use. Battery life is dreadfull, random reboots, freezes/lockups etc. This appears to be a common complaint with the 4.3 update and the general consensus appears to be to revert back to 4.1.2 which is much more stable.
I'm fine with the actual process itself using Odin but what I'm having problems with is which firmware to download from the SamMobile website.
I am in the UK and the phone is unlocked and does not have any network specific applications on it. If I key in *#1234# I get the following:
AP: I9300XXUGND5
CP: I9300XXUGNA8
CSC: I9300OXXGNE2
Looking at the CSC code list this would appear to be a multi-CSC (open) code covering Ireland/Macedonia/Poland/Romania/Serbia and Montenegro/Slovakia/Switzerland, etc
This is obviously the wrong code for the UK. I bought the phone off Ebay about a year ago so I don't know where the phone originated.
Looking through the list of available firmware I cannot find one labeled OXX. Would I be ok using the 'Open Europe - OXA' or 'United Kingdom - BTU' versions which both have the following:
PDA: I93000XXEMG4
CSC: I9300OXAEMG4
Modem: I93000XXEMG4
...or would this brick my phone, and if it is the wrong one to use, which one should I be going for. All these CSC codes are very confusing.
Thanks for any advice
P.S. just in case it is relevent, the phone is NOT rooted.

It doesn't matter if you not rooted.Use Btu one,it's for Uk but only MG4 one otherwise you will loose network since earlyer version cannot read Efs 2 which you now have on 4.3

Thanks very much for that. That's exactly the information I was looking for.
Withe regards to the EFS, I have seen reports that the IMEI can be lost etc and you should back up the EFS partition. Is this only relevent to rooted phones as I cannot find any way to back this up without being rooted.

Yes,you can backup efs only if you are rooted. Just use this one,Mg4 and you are good to go. I did that,no problems. I think there are two 4.1.2 Btu Mg4 firmwares,use the latest one( not that is's that important)

Thanks again.
Factory reset after flashing, in recovery, before first boot to set csc. Also it will bootloop if you don't.
Before you flash, try factory reset of 4.3 and format internal sd card. I found 4.3 to be much better than 4.1, once all the bloatware was turned off.

I've tried that. I did a factory reset last night, then charged it up over night and this morning it was completely locked up and wouldn't come out of sleep (it was difnitely turned on last night). I had to hold the power button to force it to shutdown and reboot. Then once it had booted the battery percentage is dropping alarmingly and the phone hasn't been used for anything yet. There isn't even a sim in it at the moment.
I've seen a few posts from others where, like you, 4.3 is running well and has been an improvement. However there are a lot more who are having these major problems. It all seems very strange. It got to the stage where my wife just couldn't use the phone because she would go to work in the morning with the phone fully charged and by mid afternoon the battery is dead and that's without actually using it much. Add to that the fact that it would frequently lock up or reboot and she had just lost all confidence in the phone. It was never like this before the update.
I wish we knew what makes one phone, like yours, work so well with the 4.3 update and others to be so bad. However, it can't be that straightforward or Samsung would have fixed it by now.
It sounds like your firmware is corrupt or your phone has damage to the nand memory. You could flash the latest BTU firmware to test.

That's a very good point. I hadn't thought of that. I've got nothing to lose.
Now I'm back to my original problem of which firmware to download.
Under 'United Kingdom - BTU' there are two listed as follows:
Nov 2013
PDA: I9300XXUGMJ9
CSC: I9300OXAGMJ9
Modem: I9300XXUGMJ9
and
Dec 2013
PDA: I9300XXUGMK6
CSC: I9300OXAGMK6
Modem: I9300XXUGMK6
So what's the difference between GMJ9 and GMK6.
It's all very confusing.
GMK6 is the latest, flash that one.
