I'm not positive, but I think you will have to root the device or put a sim in it from another country( one that has access to the full market if that's what you're after )...

[Q]Flashing P7500XWKG9

Hi!
I have a question about flashing my brand new P7500.
I got it Thailand and want to change the ROM to EUR.
I've downloaded the rom from samfirmware.com, flashed my tab correctly but still my android market doesnt show me country-specific-apps.
Baseband version: P7500XXKG7
Build number HMJ37 P7500XWKG9
I think its something to deal with changing and flashing CSC but I could not find any csc file to my ROM.
Does anyone can help me with that?
Sorry for dummy question... first time deal with samsung stuff.

What are the country specific apps you are looking for? You do know, I hope, that EUR refers to Greece, not Europe? (which is XEU)..

You can use a XEU Firmware or the O2 UK Firmware, check the Firmware-Thread here in the Forum =>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I also have the same problem. I have bought my phone in Switzerland and live in France. I bought my phone on my own (it is not included in any contracts). Can I just take XWKJ2 Firmware from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and tick PDA, Phone and CSC in Odin to reset my phone and have it working with Kies?
Easiest way is use an app called "checkfus" from the market. It's free.
Basically checkfus can search the same servers as kies does and find the latest firmware available from your carrier.
Then go to intratechs official carrier firmware thread and download the version that checkfus told you was the latest for your carrier.
Flash this via Odin following intratechs instructions.
Use a USB jig to get rid of any flash counter. Sets it to official firmware with 0 flash counter.
If you want at this stage you can do a wipe if you don't want any data on your phone.
At this point your phone will be as if you just unboxed it. kies should work and everything.
Hope this helps.

I have download and installed checkfus and it is very easy to use

If it's a I9100 version this is your thread here

I have the same question for my I9300 / Galaxy S3.
I'd like to thank all the people that posted an answer, but point out there is no answer.
I want to know if there is any way for me to find out what my original firmware was. And is there a way for a service center to check if the firmware matches the imei or serial number?
As long as its official Samsung firmware(and probably for your region) what do they care.

Kies has this option build-in. Just select initialize device from menu or something like that, than enter you phone serial number and model name and voila.
It will tell you what original factory firmware was preinstalled and even flash it if you like.

I tried this, It says " GT i9100 does not support initialising "
I know my phone is from poland. polish was the default language for my fone. Later my phone got bricked, So I had to flash it. Wen i searched it in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 I saw quite a few firmwares from poland. Tried XXLPQ and XXKI4. But the default language came as English UK . I think I flashed it with wrong firmware. I am confused with which CSC should be used. OXA or XEO .
Is there any chance to find the stock firmware with IMEI and S/N
S/N : RDZB913735Z
can you kindly check for me, wats the official firmware for my phone.
Thanks and Regards.
Allrigt I will check this but don't publish your IMEI here. PM me.
Poland have XEO code. But if phone was branded than it can be operator's code (IDE - Orange, TLP - T-mobile...)

Thanks man,
Now i am sure its XEO , its unbranded, international version, bought from amazon.com
I'm sorry but Kies can not initialize this phone. This could mean that your phone was not branded and you can flash any official XEO firmware if you want to repair it in Sammys Service Center.
You can flash 4.0.4 immidiatelly with Odin or, if you feel that you absolutly must use Kies to upgrade (don't know why) than flash official 4.0.3 (XXLWP) it is stock for XEO region and after that change your CSC by dialing service code *#272*IMEI# (IMEI - your IMEI number). From pop-up menu choose XEO. Phone will be wiped and new CSC will be set. You can check this in 3e recovery (yellow information text at the bottom) or in Kies - there should be (XEO) at the end of the line with current version information. Than you can upgrade to 4.0.4 via Kies or FOTA.

I've recently bought a note II to and was planning to hand over the phone to my dad.

I was planning on doing this with ODIN, but im not sure if there will be any compatability issues.
I also found this guidehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916623

I removed the battery and then connected it to my laptop but there was not reaction.

As far as I know i900g's roms and kernels aren't compatible with i9100's and vice versa....it can lead to bricking your phone.
You can't just change the language in phone to chinese?

Huh? Korean models are named SHV-E210K/L/S and not I9300A. I suspect that what you have is a clone perhaps? I don't see any valid models with an "A" branding on Google.
I would be asking in the Korean thread and check about phone in settings .

[SM-G357FZ] Galaxy Ace 4 stock ROM

Hi guys,
I'm not sure if I'm putting my thread in the right forum, but I could not find anything more appropriate here.
I've just obtained my Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE (SM-G357FZ), but it is network branded (by "Plus", polish operator) and I'd like to flash it with the oryginal, unmodofied stock Samsung Android, but I cannot find any firmware on the web for that model. The current version is 4.4.4 - G357FZXXU1ANH7.
I've checked sammobile.com and have found only one Galaxy Ace 4 LTE model which the sotware for is valid for Poland, but it is not for SM-G357FZ, but for SM-G313HN and the firmware version is 4.4.2. So can I flash the phone with that firmware using Odin? I'm not sure, because it seems like it is not the right firmware.
Thank you for your assistance .
EDIT:
Something has just appeared on samsung-updates.com for SM-G357FZ.
I hope it's not branded, clear stock ROM...
EDIT2:
XEO version is there. I will try flashing in the evening.
EDIT3:
Juhu it is working. Stock ROM is on my Ace 4 .
I have a problem with my ace. Every time I call someone it gives me a slot. Then double tap to unlock. Can't find the settings to change it. Please help. It's so annoying

You can't. Our ace 4 don't have proxy sensor. (wtf wrong with you samsung? they forgot it or what?) So you better get used to it.
