Hi there
While in holland working I bought the s6 edge sim free and while I have no problems, I know it is defaulted to Dutch software, so default voice is dutch on "ok google" and some prejnstalled software is dutch.
Is there a way to make my phone think it is the UK version so the next firmware version that comes down will be english?
Thanks
Yes download the BTU or XEU firmware and flash it through Odin.
if not work delete the hidden Img from the firmware
Thanks for the quick replies.
Quick question as its been a while since I used odin, do I need my bootloader unlocked and does it wipe the phone? I'm currently just stock with no root or anything
Just boot in download mode and ad the firmware in Odin [AP box]
ah right, cool, will download it now then. I'm getting the version from SAM Mobile, but on a free download so it will take an age!
I presume the baseband being different won't matter? (Download G925FXXU2BOFJ and mine is G925FXXU1AOE3)
The baseband will be updated to after the firmware is successfully flashed. Dont worry about that part, just make sure you download the correct firmware for your S6 model version. So if you have a G925F then you also need to download the G925F firmware.

Hi,
I have been struggling for a while to get my Tab back to a factory state. I flashed the KI1 stock rom but it is an Italian Rom. I then tried to flask KG7 which again was an Italian rom, so I changed the CSC using a CSC changing app from the Android Store, which successfully changed the CSC to XEU (UK).
The problem is that now when I try and connect to Kies it says that this version of the tab can't be updated (I guess this is because of the way I changed the CSC). I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction of an official UK Rom for the P7500, so that it can be updated in Kies. It is causing me a real headache!
Thanks
Surely someone can help out with this? I just need a stock UK rom that can be updated using Kies!
not sure if this helps ...but sammobile has a list of firmwares to download, you could try the version you had before you upgraded to KI1
http://www.sammobile.com/threads/328-Samsung-P7500-Galaxy-Tab-10.1-Firmwares.
I had a version of KG7 - I tried flashing that one from samfirmware, but the CSC was Italian. I changed the CSC to XEU (UK) which worked, but the tab couldn't then be updated in Kies.
im one step behind! Flashed to KI1 and wanting to change.. I shall watch this post!
Hi guys.
I really need to return to swedish stock firmware on my GT-P7510 but I can't find it anywhere. The csc on the original firmware is NSE. Is there anyway to mess with kies to upgrade it to original NSE. Or if someone has tips on how to get swedish stock firmware back I would be extremely grateful.
Best regards, Martin.
Go to samfirmware.com and the Swedish rom should be there?
Will have to be flashed through Odin, if you don't mind a non-Swedish, but official Samsung, check this site:

No the firmware isnt available on sammobile. Maybe it would work if igot the csc-files for NSE and then update it OTA? But where do i get those?
I assume the celtic region covers Sweden? Last I checked it was covered under that.
Im currently on an UK-firmware and tyis is not right. The swedish one comes with some swedish bloatware. The uk one i have installed is 3.1. If i could only change the csc to nse instead of xeu as it says now I probably would get the rigt firmware OTA? i remember there was an 3.2 update OTA when i bought the Tab. Am i wrong with my theory, or you think it will work?
Flash a celtic region via Odin.
By celtic you mean?? Because i have flashed the uk/ireland firmware with odin and this doesn't contain the NSE csc.
Does anyone know where to get hold of csc files for either NSE or NEE?
Shouldnt they be included via SIM pack? Most sim's come preloaded with the carrier's APN and such
No. Those files are region codes in the samsung firmware. These files make the update-server decide which fw to send to the phone/tab.

But that shouldn't matter as sooner or later the ICS release will be one general update, It would be like IOS firmware, one general firmware for all regions. Region wise can be determined via IP Address as far as I know. When I had my tab flashed with a malaysian region firmware *Bought it online* as soon as It reached Middle East (where i received it) the update was available via Kies for Middle East update, and not the Asian firmware one.
Then again, why the hassle of kies, Odin for the win. Flashing different regional firmwares since 2007
Hi guys,
Im thinking of going back to stock firmware and stock recovery file.
The problem is that im trying to find the samsung's stock firmware (4.1.2).
i found these over at sammobile.com :
Country/Carrier Date Android PDA CSC Download Unlock Info
Cyprus (Cytamobile Vodafone) 2013 January 4.1.2 I9300XXELLA I9300OXXELL1 Download Unlock Info
Cyprus (Cytamobile Vodafone) 2012 December 4.1.2 I9300XXELL4 I9300OXXELK4 Download Unlock Info
I don't know if these are the correct ones please advice. Also which of them i should use in case these are the correct ones?
Furthermore from what i understand and correct me f i am wrong , these firmwares appear to have some kind of simlock on them ?
My phone was bought from the specific carrier as shown above (cytamobile vodafone) but the phone doesn't have any kind of simlock on it so im not sure that the above 2 links i found are correct.
im looking forward for your help
thank you

you ain't having a nandroid from your original ROM?
If not, choose the most up-to-date one for your carrier, phone and region and flash it, that's it I guess.
Remember though, to reset counter (if it is not still 0), if you want to send it back to service.

If you got a nandroid and you want to go back to stock, why not flash this one?
As your link shows, ELLA is newer than ELL4
No need to download anything on your own. Follow the thread.

What is the reasoning behind you wanting to go back to stock?
Hi all. A quick question if I may. I have a US tablet S3 (T820). My understanding is that all the devices, irrespective of the region, in terms of hardware are the same this time (no difference in processors etc.). Therefore I assumed that I can apply any firmware for T820. I downloaded the last one T820XXU1AQF3 (for UK) and tried to apply it via Odin. It showed that it failed. Had to download QD6 for Canada, install the CSC and the the BL in order to be able to boot the device. Now the funny part is that it shows in the settings that I actually have the T820XXU1AQF3 installed (not sure how that happened since it FAILED).
Generally speaking, is it possible to install any firmware on a US device? Why did I have the fail ( I installed also the CSC and BL of the T820XXU1AQF3). Thanks in advance.

Hi Kyrillos,
I can confirm it works fine, I just got my Tab S3 (US 'XER' Version). I got the latest UK (BTU) firmware using SamFirm and then flashed it using the newest version of Odin. I flashed the BL, AP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC).
This also removed some of the US Bloatware that I didn't want.
Hope that helps

Thanks! I managed to update as well. It seems my odin version was the issue (although it was working just fine with my S7).
Does the UK (BTU) version have the battery drain bug?
All firmwares have the wifi battery drain bug, including the AQF5 for KOO (korea). May be it's a hardware problem?
I know similar issues have been posted here before. I'm trying to flash a old rom compared to the current one I have.
phone model: SM-J730F
It was locked by OEM so I had to flash a rom. I didn't know the country before flashing, so I flashed according to the country I'm currently in. So my sim isn't working rn.
I went to sammobile to download latest rom to flash, this phone requires KSA (Saudi Arabia) . But the latest KSA version is very outdated. I can't find any rom that odin can write as my phone now has an updated bootloader from another country.
There is however a very updated Arabian rom available in sammobile, but that is ACR, I'm currently downlaoding that. But if it doesn't work, will there be anyway to use sim in the phone?
Thanks for reading my post
Have a nice day.
