Hey Guys,
I have a galaxy alpha g850f which my carrier doesn't bother to update (i've read some roms have smart manager and security patches updated to July 2017 or so)
Will there be any problem if i update my device with a stock firmware from sammobile but different country? (Same model 850f)
If thats ok - can i get a recommendation for an updated stock rom?
Thanks ahead and sorry for my English,
Lior

you can update to any country it's doesn't matter, flash newer version with odin.

Yes.
Can you suggest an updated rom?
Thanks...

Updates in 2016 were only minor changes + security patch, you can choose any one of them.
The most recent update is G850FQ : G850FQJVU2CPK4, it should work on G850F too.
Just a reminder, when you flash the whole rom from another csc(country),
all data in your phone will be cleared, so remember to backup first (and save to your computer).
is this rom for 850F ok?

You can download the rom of your csc first.
If you don't like the new rom, you can go back to the old one anytime.
Sorry, i do not know what csc stands for..
tried reading and i understand its for my country code?
searched the ILO csc and all i get is old roms:
www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G850F/ILO/
so if i understand (and i probably dont ) i should take another country rom.
if that right i still would love an updated rom suggestion...
Thanks and sorry

The most recent update of your csc is still Android 4.4.4.
So if you want to update to Android 5.0.2, the only choice is a rom from another csc.
Just try it.
If you use odin, there's no problem to flash back the old rom.
If you upgrade from Android 4.4.4 to 5.0.2, you might think it changed a lot.
But there's not much difference among 5.0.2 roms, really.
Thanks a lot
i guess i'll try the Uzbekistan rom... (Security Patch Level 2016-07-01)
Does anyone knows if by any chance that comes with Smart Manager?

I think smart manager is included in "all" 2016 updates of G850F
since these updates were the second or the third update of Android 5.0.2.
It is pointless if you never try.
If you just want to know what smart manager is like,
go to any store that sells Samsung phones and try one,
that's much easier than flashing rom.
So i installed the rom (had to remove hidden.img from the file cause odin was failing)
rom has "Dragon Dash" and "Dragon Mania" installed?!
is this legit? is there a possibility the rom is tempered with?
Thanks and sorry for my paranoia

Those apps are with csc, not with system.
Try download a rom with a different csc code.
If you tried the one you mentioned earlier, the csc code is G850FOXE2CPG1,
and there are many countries updated with the same csc file.
Try one that the csc code is not G850FOXE2CPG1.
Or try one that the csc code is not ended in "CPG1"?
I am personally using this one:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/64361/G850FXXU2COL1_G850FPHN2COL1_PHN/
If you don't mind the build date is in Dec 2015.
I'm sure there're no extra apps in this csc.
Thanks a lot buddy...!
I disabled the games in the app manager and hope all will be good.
Is it possible that my reception is lower now? It seems that i have none now at home and i used to have full bars... :/

Try flash modem.bin from rom of your csc or another csc.
Is it ok if its a modem.bin from a 4.4 rom on a 5.0.2 android?
Should i download the entire rom, extract modem.bin, close it to tar file and burn with odin in download mode or there is a easier way?
Thanks again

You have to download the rom and extract modem.bin (or delete other files and left only modem.bin in the .tar.md5 ?).
My way is to extract it.
You can check if the file size of modem.bin is the same.
If it's not, there might be different modem.bins for G850F.
For my model(G850Y), modem.bin hadn't changed from Android 4.4.4 to 5.0.2.
And you can only flash modem.bin from the same model.

Great news!!! I have installed and works fine with my ACE L version, the 3G connection works fine (my operatos works in 1900MHz frec)
This is the information in samsung kies
The downloaded file is an EXE, run and get a TAR file, flash with ODIN with signle package option.
If you come from 2.2.1 is very important to flash another samfirmware ROM such KPH, then flash this.
If you come from 2.3 don't worry.
And good news, this is original and appears in Samsung Kies, look
is it this one from samfirmware because there it is stated as 2.3.3?

Thanks for it! I've just installed it and it's working fine. Anyways, it seems I can't use it with some custom roms because of the modem (I installed coderom v2x and 3g it's not working again, just like kph) So I guess I'll wait to install it again till there are some custom roms for it.
Thanks! It work greats anyways!.
Why KP7 instead of KPH or even KPN? I read KPN has lots of improvements over KPH. Thanks for your work

maybe it happens because the file extension is .exe
but this is a win rar extract with a .tar file inside.

Nop, in SamFirmware only appear the Global Version, this firmware is for the L version, not for the Global, B or T, only for L, this device update to Ginger this day, this is and original firmware and the LatinoAmerican Users with unbranded devices see this update via samsung kies, in the second post I put a screen capture.
For the B and T version exist the 2.3.4 from Vivo Brazil, search in this forum if you want to download it

Hello xda-developers this it my first post, but it will be more and I will try to help you.
I have a SGS2, bought from Romania, but the CSC code is "XEF" which probably means that it was imported form France. Now I want to change my CSC in "HAT" or "COA" according to my country but I don't want to lose my warranty.
1) There is any method to do this?
2) If I will find the CSC files, flashing only this with Odin is possible and if yes I lose my warranty? I only flashed AIO or PDA,CSC,BOOT files in the mean time on my second phone,Samsung i5700, but never only one of those.
I tried with CSC Selector from Play and with Preconfig code, but my phone have no Multi-CSC, it have only "XEF".
My SGS2 informations:
PDA: I9100XWKJ2
PHONE: I9100XXKJ4
CSC I9100XEFKJ1
Thank you very much for your answers and sorry for my bad English
no need to change it unless you need something specific in that csc.
I want to upgrade to ICS via Kies, but in Romania the update exists and in France it doesn't... That's why I want this

Just flash XWLP8 Frankenstein with Odin. Kies is a complete piece of crap. Uninstall it right now and just leave the samsung usb drivers.
The aforementioned package already includes everything you need... and it's official... and it's newer than the package you are planning to flash ; )
@bala_gamer: I will look forward CSC files and just flash them with Odin... But is it possibile? My device is not rooted...

Go into settings->about phone and write down what you have now.
Worst case IF you ever really need to get warranty just flash this package...
End of story. The link I gave you gives you the newest official ICS rom, non-rooted. It doesn't increase the custom binary counter (that's how they check if you messed with your phone) and it is official. Just flash it.
Ok, I didn't know that I can put the phone into download mode and flash a new firmware without increase the counter, thx

The only thing that increases the counter is flashing specifically a kernel via Odin that is not signed by Samsung.
This is why flashing some ROMs won't necessarily increase the counter: If you flash a ROM that includes a kernel that is signed by Samsung, it will keep the counter at zero.

That kernel is posted just in case you need it, if you flash a custom or insecure kernel, and want to flash back to stock. If you don't flash a custom of insecure kernel, you won't need it. Wouldn't hurt you to download it anyways though, again, just in case you need it later.

You'll have to install CWM recovery to do this... which means flashing a kernel NOT signed by Samsung, which means increasing your counter.

Hi All,
I bought a used galaxy S2 I9100 yesterday,new to android.I have been a iphone user for 4 years and pretty aware of jailbreaking, unlocking installing custom firmwares. the terminology here in Android world is different though.
Have searched and read through different guides on the forum but still got some questions.
Model GT i900 LKAH3G
PDA i9100XWKE1
CSC I9100H3GKD4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] # 2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Looks like it was on Three network but it is unlocked mobile as i can use my airtel sim on the phone.
I dont want the Three network related stuff on the phone so i need to debrand the phone -- how to do it? there is guide on XDA forum but it talks primarily for O2 phones or might be i did not read it correctly. (there are also some options like the network mode which are disabled on this ROM )
Once debranding is done should i be ok to use any ROM or kernel?
Which would be best ROM to be installed and will it work for me in India.
Can i install the custom ROM and would i be able to install apps from the android Market.
If these have already been answered , can you please provide the link for that thread.
Thank You
I'd advice you to try the new ics roms, you can find the instructions inside the various rom threads, flashing these roms will get rid of the three junk as well as update your phone to the latest android os a.k.a ICS ..........
there is no such thing as a best rom for a specific country, but you can try different modems to find the one that gives you the best network and battery, you can find your modem under the baseband in about phone....
google for more info
happy flashing and welcome to Android we luf you here...........
Learn how to use Odin
Download stock gb from from checkfus or sammobile.
Flash using Odin, you will be unbranded.
After that root using cfroot, now learn how to use cfroot.
Now you can flash custom roms.

Thank you for the details.

do i need to change the csc if i install the UK version?
Thanks
forget about csc.
if you have i9100 you can flash any region ROM and use in any country.
if you want Gb than go for la2 italy rom , iv used that and last time i check that was the fastest stock rom for GB
you can also flash ICS rom like uk lp7 too, just stay away from lp9 roms at the moment.
ad dont forget to wipe using the dialpad code *2767*3855#. [will wipe all data stored]

I have tried to do a factory rest from the phone's privacy menu but even after everything is done,istill see some files in the gallery.
i tried the code *2767*3855# everything goes fine but i see the message "cant access to system\csc\h3g\system\" and then the phone strats as normal.
can i flash it to the OS even if i am getting this message using odin or do i need to
do something before i flash?
factory reset will not delete your user stored data on the SD card...that can be manually deleted...if you want
you can flash the OS from ODIN
thanks for the responses.
I have upgraded to I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP, and its working fine. the only problem seems to be its heating a bit where the camera is located . will read more topics and see why this is happening.

Yes though the newer dxlp9 was much better, previous one had bunch of issues including sleep of death.
Also that ROM introduces the contact/dialer lag bug. Which some how got to Google account and now every time I sync contacts it get back.
I deleted all my contacts and synced again and it's all better, tried on dxlp9 and was working fine, than I switched to my regular cm9.

For a start, if you remember your last ROM that doesn't had heat issues, flash that modem. Doesn't matter if you use GB modem on ics.
I flashed the modem of my region xxki4 which is 2.3.5 jpkj2 and had no issues of heat in ics.

Hi. I have 2 australian galaxy s3. First one is on 4.1.2 TDUELL2 and the second one is on 4.0.4 TDUBLH1. I want to root both of them. The first one after getting updated to 4.1.2 wifi stopped working but i found a fix installing the wifi folder from 4.1.1 version. To that I need root though. So any help on how am I gonna root them both? Cause I couldn't sort it out my self.

What model number are the phones I9300 / I9305?
they are i9300t
I managed to root both of them. I know have a major problem. 1 of them had a problem with wifi. It couldnt connect. I read about a solution by copying the wifi folder from version 4.1.1. Tried that. It worked for once but after reboot it stopped. And now I can't even turn on the wifi. It gets stuck on Turning on... Do i have to reflash the rom again and if so how will i do that? It was stock rom on stock kernel. Only rooted. gt i9300t moder and build DUELL2.
Also can i flash a rom with different build over that? For example XXEMC2 that i have on my Greek galaxy s3?
I9300T rooting is the same as I9300 rooting, follow the guides of CF-Root 6.4 or CF-Autoroot. (I got a T model myself)
You can flash any I9300 rom also on the T model, therefore root is not 100% necessary. Full wipes are recommended for flashing different versions though.

just saw it .
For wifi, try a stock ROM (flash it new incl. wipes etc.), or try a different kernel, whereas the stock kernel should always work.

Can you tell me how i will flash a new stock rom on it? where can i find the stock rom and can i flash a different build?
DUELL2 is the current.

you can find (unrooted) stock roms for instance on sammobile.com or (rooted) stock roms here on XDA in the General section.
Easiest way to flash them is via Mobile Odin (gives you the option to keep root) or Odin (you will loose root but you can flash CF afterwards manually).
And yes you can flash any build that is made for the I9300/I9300T.
The only difference between both models is the frequency of the baseband (the T model is more optimized for 850mhz) whereas you even can use modems of the I9300 on the I9300T.

What do you mean by modems? Soz if I sound noob but I am new to Galasy s3. My previous android was ideos x5 and i had a miui rom on it.
The phone will be used in greece. Do you suggest me flashing the XXEMC2 rom that i have on my Greek S3 atm? Is there any chance of bricking it if i flash that rom on it?

There is a difference between the ROM's firmware (basically your OS, e.g. XXEMC2) and the modem (basically the part which gives you the connection to the next mobile tower and is managing the frequencies, e.g. DUELL2).
It does not matter that much what ROM firmware you use as they are nearly identical in each country (here and there dif. apps due to providers) but more that you use a modem that delivers in the country you are in. Hence, I would first try the modems of your region (you can find a list of all modems in the General section's modem collection).
Regarding the risk of bricking: there is always a risk, no one can guarantee you anything , whereas if you follow the guides you should be fine.

Ok. Here is the deal. My greek galaxy s3 which i recently updated is XXEMC2. The galaxy s3 with the wifi problem is DUELL2 bought in australia from a friend but will be sent to greece for my brother. So i should flash XXEMC2 on it? I just download XXEMC2 from sammobile and flash it with odin? It doesn't matter that the XXEMC2 is for i9300 as fas as I understood from what u said. right?

correct, you can use the I9300 versions of any rom for the I9300T as well.

Ok. So the CSC numbers that are different on lets say the DUELL2 and the XXEMC2 are not something to bother me right? I just download the XXEMC2 rom and flash it on the DUELL2 S3 and then I just will root it. right? Will the phone become i9300 after that procedure? or stay i9300t? So I know which file i should use to root it.
Soz for too many questions but the phone is not mine and I need to be sure for the procedure.

The firmware code (XXEMC2) should not be of concern.
The modem code (DUELL2) should be of concern IF you experience bad performance in the region you are. If so, flash a different modem and try it.
The phone will be an I9300T whereas in the menus it might tell you I9300, anyway there is no difference in the files to use.
For rooting, follow the guide, you can use CF-Root 6.4 (if you want a custom recovery) or CF-Autoroot (if you want to use stock recovery).

Thanks a lot mate. This helped a lot. I decided to go with the 4.1.1 version of its current region. Later if we see that it doesnt perform well here in greece we will flash the xxemc2 rom.
Ok i downloaded the rom from sammobile and the file name is this I9300TDUDLK1_I9300ZZZLK1_VAU.zip but i get an error message that says cannot open. file unknown or damaged :/ Why is that? Is this file meant to be named as md5?

To flash a rom via odin you need the md5 file, correct. Hence unzip or if you cannot maybe the download is corrupt?

Yes, definitely backup your efs! Search for it and you will find tons of guides.
