Open Europe vs NEE - what, how, why? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is thare any advantage of using a Open Europe firmware compare with the county specific like NEE version? Anyone have a clue?

NO.
There is no difference besides region specific personalization.

that always depends on the change list doesn't it? higher change list = more changes, hence if an "open" firmware has a higher than NEE one, there are changes made, they can be carrier or country specific though too, no one knows.
anyway, next time post in Q&A section

There is no Open Europe firmware, all fw are region specific.

I guess with "open" he means without carrier branding

Edit: Must be Brazilian. All I know is the menu was in Spanish when I first turned it on.
Input *#1234# in the dialpad and post the CSC details, that's how we'll know what region it's from. Will be either Trinidad and Tobago (TTT), Dominican Republic (TDR), Venezuela (VNO) or Costa Rica (TPA).

Wow .. someone who understands the naming convention ! Can you please tell me which original versions contain Czech in it ? What letters I'm supposed to look for ?
I've seen convention tables on samfirmware .. but there are no ROMs with names they describe.
At the moment I have ROM made for T-mobile Germany, which also contains Czech .. but I want unbranded ROM.

[Q] Original CSC Code

Does anybody know how to find the original CSC code? I have updated my firmware several times and I don't have the original CSC Code.
Now when I connect to KIES It says "This version of the device can not be updated".
Help
Type *#272*(IMEI)# and you will see the CSC list.Select and done.By doing this it will reboot via (if i remember correctly)factory reset so may be a good idea to back-up but it should warn you first that it will fact/reset so if you want you can cancel and back-up if you havnt already.
EDIT:also depending on what firmware you put on your phone and depending on what your product code also is Kies might not recognize your firmware either.

Thanks for your opinion. There are several CSC Codes and I don't know what code to select. Because I don't know what my original CSC Code was.

Depending on the firmware it may or may not be in there but for singapore see if there is an OLB in there.Some multi CSC packages dont always have what you want.For example most here in XDA dont have FOP for Spain so Im left using KOR instead which is Korea.It works atleast.If its not there you could try OZS for HongKong

If Sri Lanka comes under India in the CSC region then it will be ODD It might not but i cant find it at the moment.

it appears that XDA and samfirmware have conflicting CSCs for india.Samfirmware may 11 for India have ODD and XDA have INU.
Currently I have installed XEU (I think UK). So will this be problem? Actually I don't have sound idea about CSC?

The CSC is just location specific apn settings and maybe bundles apps. Nothing hugely important.
If you are missing your apn settings did net or mms you can just enter them manually or change CSC.

In most cases i wont make any difference.As I said earlier sometimes here in Spain Im forced to use KOR which is Korea and it works fine.If you have an original firmware flashed for your region it should be in there but I find that in my case when I flash the XDA firmwares they usually are missing my CSC although they can be flashed seperatly.If you have a KOR then give it a try to as its probably a better region choice.if it works here in Spain it should be good for Singapore.
Hi,
You can get the Original CSC Code of the phone by using my app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★

So you necroed a 2.5 yr old thread just to post an ad, eh ? Nice one

The shipped Modem with the firmware version JPKJ2 for SGS2, for all the middle east countries is XWKI4
I have tested XWKE7 also which gives more speed on data than KI4
XWLPB is the latest one released with with the firmware for Bahrain, you can test this one too
Thanks mate for your effort

All this is answered in the thread in general, but for you: yes you can flash it, no difference to other countries as it is not branded. You might have to flash your region's modern if connection is not good.

[Q] Software update vs country of purchase

Hi everyone
I am confused with this problem that I have: I bought Samsung Galaxy S3 international version GT-i9300. Now, I live in Australia. My question is, when I go to my phone to check software update or Samsung Kies to check software update, which will be visible/show up/ be downloaded to my phone? The latest version for International SGS3 OR the latest version for Australian SGS3?
Confusing isn't it?
So long story short: when there is a new update, which one is it? Is the software/firmware update based on the country of purchase (In this case, international version) or where I am living (Australia)?

Well i was told to post in the questions forum so that is what I did
you hit "report" on your post and ask for it to be moved
Alright my apologies, I am the noob.
So, just making sure, because I still do not quite get it.
I will simplify this question even more. When there is asoftware update for my SGS3, which one will my phone download? The international software update(Because my phone is international) or will my phone download the australian software update(Because I live in australia)?
Still need help with this.

It will download the update that is in line with your firmware code. If you use an Australian firmware it will be the update for this Australian firmware once it is released.

Well, so it is based on my phone, NOT the country I am living in?
Mine is internatinal version GT-i9300, so when there is an update, my phone will download that one, and the Australian update is irrelevant for me?

It is not so much the intentional but the firmware Version, e.g. uk, Australian etc., you can find it under settings about phone. If your firmware is e.g. The uk version and stock you will get UK otas.
