hi,
i was using my galaxy ace without rooting. once I switched it off, and tried to switch on, i found it stucked in the bootloop. then i tried factory reset/wipe user data and wipe cashe partition with the stock recovery. But it didn't help. it was showing process completed wthin 2 seconds. so i'm not sure if that process was actually completed. Anyway, it never helped.
then I decided to flash stock rom with odin. i tried to open download mode by pressing vol down + home + power button. but then i found that even download mode is not opening. then i searched over internet, and found a tool, 300k tool, which really helped me to get into download mode, and somehow i started flashing stock rom. But unfortunately it failed, and left screen with a error message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
then i installed kies, but my phone never connected with usb cable. it keeps showing that its connecting, and at end it shows a message that says reboot device. but rebooting never helped.
now i really dont know what to do. please someone help me.
thanks in advance
Did you use Odin? That is what you would normally use to flash stock ROM.
Kies is useless.

what method did you use to flash your stock rom? did you flash your xxxx.tar.md5 file through PDA when your phone is detected in "ID:COM" area ?

correct me if I am wrong mate, download mode for this specific model might be other combination >> Volume up/down + power
Yes, i used odin, thats when it started showing error message
Yes, i installed all the drivers,
I tried odin 3.04, 3.07 and 3.184
And yes, i tried vol down +vol up+ power, it took me to download mode, and i tried installing stock rom, but it failed so many times
I downloaded stock rom from xda forum for my region, i hope that is the one i'm supposed to use...
@vivek5488, In an ideal world, your Android phone would run like a dream forever. ... Things can happen that slow your phone and damage the experience though. There's nothing worse than wrong stock firmware in my short experience in android world . Result would be catastrophic, best case scenario you got soft brick and hopefully instruction , which was given @ post6 of this topic would lead you to right stock firmware.
best of luck

Hello!
Last week i bought a galaxy ace, with yoigo, and it seems i cant flash new roms
I downloaded a one-package (last version) S5830XWKPW and flashed, but mobile drops an error, something like "error appling csc" cannot access to "system/csc/YOG/csc"
When the phone rebooted, odin didnt detected it, and when i saw the firmware version, it was the same ( it didnt change with the upgrade)
So what do you think, i tried rooting and creating the YOG folder, and reflashing again, that way there isnt any error, but the firmware didnt changed at all, so the result was the same....
Do you think my operator has locked the bootloader or something??
Thanks!
try the full package instead. those one package usually missing data.rfs
did you put your phone to download mode first before flashing ??
for flashing first put your phone to download mode ,
1)switch off the mobile
2) press volume down button + home button +power on button together
3)in screen it will come "downloading...."
4)connect to pc
5) now flash your phone
Happy flashing
thats how i did it
i checked using *#1234#
the csc version is updated, the phone version should change too? or the pda?
Did you use the proper ops file?
cooper.ops?
yeah
i used that archive, but just my csc version is updated, not even phone or pda
is that normal? can any of you post your version??
thanks!

Try flashing the phone - S5830XWKS2 ## country - netherlands csc - S5830XENKS1 version from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-S5830&r=1#regiona
Warning - If your phone is operator specific your sim won't work. But, your phone will boot successfully so there's no harm in trying this. Try this and see if your sim works.
One more thing - The default language is "netherland's language"
So after flashing you need to change the language to your required language in settings
Aham i think i understand why you selected that netherlands version, with my pda version, the compatibles are France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, UK
and from that page, i have to pick one that isnt linked to any operator
so i cant just select one with yoigo(my operator) or other with no operator linked
is that??
PD: i will try to flash next week, because i want to try a little the phone battery and that stuff
thanks!

If you bought your phone from yoigo then it means your phone is carrier specific, and you "might" face problems. But if you bought your phone from any store and you are just using yoigo sim then you can flash any version, I dont think you will face any problems
Please press the thanks button if I helped you
I bought SGS6E from polish operator Plus - with CSC PLS.
I found polish XEO (i was thinking that):
XEO-G925FXXU1AOCV-20150410142820.zip
flashed via ODIN. Everything went ok. But the CSC that phone show is... TPH for Portugal.
It is possible to change CSC without waiting for new firmware (good) for XEO?
Did you perform a factory reset in recovery as that resets the csc.
Otherwise maybe phone tools Samsung from the marketplace?
On the screen i seen
Appiled multi-csc. Csc appiled: TPH

Hey,
No way to do that. The problem is that even if you download FWs from sammobile that have different CSCs - based on my experience - they will default to something else. On my Galaxy Alpha which originally had XEH I flashed a XEF ROM and there was no way back. Sad but true.
The only good thing with the S6 is that with the currently available 5.0.2 ROMs you can still achieve root without loosing the warranty. And after root you can change the CSC and then can flash the original ROM which will NOW default to CSC you just set. But only if it contains that CSC package!
Hope I could help!
Cheers,
TT

I had the same problem first get your firmware from sammobile flash it through odin
then factory reset from stock recovery it will chose a random CSC but dont worry once you setup your new device go into the setting>backup and reset>factory reset. make sure you dont have automatic restore.
after reset setup device again then Open your phone’s dialer and type the following code with your device IMEI number: *#272*Phone’s IMEI Here#
it should automaticaly take to your csc changer screen pick ur one then install
hope it works !

How it works : on devices where dialer NOT shown up CSC changer (e.g.: 920F) :
Go to recovery, Dial up, Home + Power
wipe cache and perform a factory reset
next is important : power down the phone. NOT to reboot.
Power on in download mode: volume down+home+power buttons
FLASH for example : BTU :
G920FXXU3COI9_G920FBTU3COJ1_G920FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar
after reboot, it will be English, and If U go to recovery it will apply BTU.
Hope it helps
p.s.: It wont works with EVERY Firmware. don't know WHY. For example :
I wanted to flash after succesfully changed the CSC from TPH to BTU, so I wanted to flash XEH....BUT that resets to TPH after XEH flash.
So at least to BTU it works specially if you are in TPH CSC !
Can I change the CSC on an 925F to something non F? Currently mine is coded THR (Iran) and I wish to change it to something USA related. I'm hoping to activate Samsung Pay but from what I've read the change will require root which will trip Knox which won't allow Samsung Pay to work. Am I right?
Working for Galaxy s6 Edge in COJ9 ? If yes I will restore it
damm i wish i found this thread some hours ago ... same prob with G925FXXU3COI9_G925FOXX3COJ1_G925FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar as XEO CSC declared ...
coming from DBT -->> BTU --> trying jump to XEO with Firmware found by SamFirm , but failed.. every try it switches to TPH anywhere with CSC/Firmware i come from.
after read this thread i give up my trys
so go back to BTU and hope OTA Update to marschmallow comes next days ...
greetings from germany
So finally there is no option to install CLEAR XEO when you have brand? The same as author. Comming from PLS (plus) / TPL (T-Mobile) to XEO, and i get TPH For portugal.
Or meybe ishanmu and tiborprogmed way is working to have clear XEO with LTE icon?
Hello,
Since 2 days I got really really bad gsm signals (wifi is fine), when I get some I just have maybe 20% max, so I can't make or received calls only sending texting but I can get 4G+ which is working fine.
I didn't dropped or anything special with my phone.
I was using ozcan rom so I put a stock rom 5.0.2, still issues, try updating OTA, still issues.
Before flashing stock rom I wipe data and partition with the official recovery.
I try to put a different sim card still issues, my sim card is working fine on an other device...
Any idea ? maybe something to try with the "modem" should I try to extract it from my country from a stock rom and reflash it with odin ?
You are my last hope
Thanks
Hello.
Go to settings, backup, format system (or wipe).
Then pull out battery, get it back, go to recovery and wipe data, wipe cache.
Turn off, then power and go to download mode.
Download latest fw for your CSC, download odin, download PIT file for your CSC (sammmobile forum - galaxy alpha, first post).
Then open odin, plug your phone in download mode.
In odin select PIT - choose downloaded PIT.
In odin select re-partition.
In odin select AP - choose downloaded fw.
Then click start, it will ends with PASS and you will be OK.
thanks for your reply
But I can't find the pit for my csc :/

I'm french (so ), my CSC must be XFE and it's XXU showed in parameters :/

Greetings,
I am using SM-G532F/DS bought from Saudi Arabia. Android version 6.0.1. When it was first opened it was region locked but I requested an unlock code from Samsung and they sent me and successfully unlocked it's region lock. I previously tried rooting it with odin but failed and now I get the message " An error has occured while updating the device software... use smart switch pc app " every time I turn it on, but smart switch doesn't accept my s/n. Now my last option left is flashing the stock firmware using odin. But I can't turn on my device to see/check software info ( pda, csc etc. ). My question is, can i flash any firmware disregarding pda and csc? Because I don't know if there is any way to find out software details. If pda and csc is important, how can I find out the correct firmware if the only thing I can use is download mode. I can't turn on the phone anymore.
Device info:
Model: SM-G532F/DS
Android version: 6.0.1
Hello everyone,
I need help with resurrecting the above phone model. After updating it via Samsung Switch, it 'magically' stopped receiving network recognition but it could sense the SIM card's network operator. I tried dialing some numbers and it said "Not registered on the network". I ran to the internet through various forums. I have been re-flashing STOCK ROM and i was getting PASS; still no good came out. I tried custom ROMs, same thing. NOW suddenly i got an efs/ failed to mount. How can i resurrect my baby? All i have about the phone is:
AP: G925FXXU6EVG4 (Build number) - NDR90M
CP: G925FXXU6ERF5 (Baseband version)
CSC: G925FXXU6EVG4 (Country version) - 02U
IMEI SV - 02
SN - RF8G610C1MN
The stock ROMs i have downloaded so far are:
1. Samfw.com_SM-G925F_O2U_G925FXXU6EVG4_fac.zip (stock ROM based on the last successful booting ROM; after updating via Samsung Switch)
2. Samfw.com_SM-G925F_O2U_G925FXXU6ERG1.zip
I have these in place:
- Samsung S6 Series EFS Backup Restore Tool v1.0 By Jamesjerss.exe (which i used prior; to get an efs.img before my phone got messed up (a 20Mb file was created). Is that the backed up EFS?
- Odin Odin3_v3.14.4
- CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f.zip
- twrp-3.3.1-0-zerolte.img.tar and twrp-3.3.1-0-zerolte.img (i wonder the difference although the internet says i use .tar with Odin)
- SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip
Now, the stock ROM stops on the RECOVERY MODE with efs/ failed to mount, and when i try the custom ROM, it stops on SAMSUNG Galaxy S6 Edge. In all recovery modes, good enough my PC detects my phone's internal storage. I need to get this device to work, people.
Someone help with with a step by step tutorial, please. I am a fast learner
PS Am not a tech student or anything, am just a person who reads stuff on the internet although i understand some basic stuff on tech

1. If you think about Smart Switch Mobile, it is not for update.
2. Go back to Stock firmware via odin.
2. Have you seen >this< tutorial?
how can i know the stock firmware of the phone....i only remember the one that was updated via Smart Switch (Hanset: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge G925F single SIM card slot no SD card slot)
1. Check your CSC on the phone box or with the Phone INFO app ★SAM★ 3.8.5.
2. Select your CSC region in the "Version" box read the instructions and download the firmware.
3. Use Odin 3.13.1 to update this model.
@ze7zez. Just bought it from some phone shop that sells used phones. I have the needed STOCK firmware already. The CSC is 02U G925F---VG4. All am getting is this image below:
Since your system is not working, go to "View recovery logs" and look for CSC or "region name".
You can also try uploading firmware from your country's region.
The CSC is 02U (O2) which according to internet research it is UK

I already have all firmwares for this handset from 02U. I have tried EVERY STOCK ROM...but all am getting is E: Failed to mount '/efs' (Invalid argument).
I tried EFS-Fix-regalstreak.tar.md5 basing on https://ajketech.wordpress.com/2016/07/27/efs-missing-factory-mode-activated-here-is-the-solution/ i got FAIL.
I do have an efs.img i made before all of this whole saga but i don't know if it is broken or okay.
Try flashing TWRP from >this< manual. Read it carefully!
With TWRP you will have more options for repair.
