[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Odin - General Questions and Answers

Dear fellow Galaxians
I have a problem..recently I flashed my Galaxy S with i9000xxjpy. This caused change of product code from TOP (Serbia) to KOR. Also, I lost Serbian swype
How to:
-stay on this version of firmware
-have Serbian swype (TOP product code)
When I flashed with Odin I only had one .tar file which I put to PDA (I didn't have separate modem and csc file).
Now, would the solution be to flash again with the same file and to separately add some Multi CSC file containing TOP product code?
Would it get back swype on Serbian ?
Thns for any help

What are the different ODIN files in package?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus Wi-Fi only GT-P6210 that I want to flash back to stock ROM using ODIN. I have found two packages at this thread. (I can't post to the following thread because I'm a noob)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367478
One package has only one file that I know is the PDA file. The other package has 3 files:
GT-P6210-MULTI-CSC-OXEKK1_RST.tar.md5
P6210_APBOOT_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
P6210_CODE_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship_16G.tar.md5
The CODE file is the PDA file, correct?
The CSC file is the CSC file, duh.
What is the APBOOT file?
Can you also explain what the different files are? What is a CSC file? What is a PIT file? Why does the other package only contain the PDA file?
I've never ODIN'd before so I want to make sure I know what I'm doing and flash the correct package.

UK or Multi CSC file needed for P5100

Hello
I'm looking for JUST the UK (BTU) or MULTI CSC kernel file for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 - 10.1 - P5100 ?
Reason being I've installed the French (XEF) version of Jelly Bean 4.1.2 from the Sammobile website as the UK version hasn't come out yet.
Does anyone have a link for any P5100 CSC package files anywhere ?
I've tried to change from the French CSC (XEF) via typing in the keypad 272 plus IMEI - but it doesn't work.
Get the message - "USSD Processing " - " connection problem or invalid MMI code"
It'd be easier if I just flashed the multi / single CSC file in odin on the PC rather than try and change by means already mentioned.
Thanks :good:
Idea ?
What about if I 'extracted' files from the UK stock ROM 4.0.4 (tar.md5) ?
There is the 'cache.img' , 'hidden.img' or the 'boot.img' ?
One of these has to be the CSC file ?
Then just flash in the CSC section in ODIN !
Any ideas if this will work?
Or what If I just extracted the 'system.img' from the French Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM (tar.md5) and replaced the same 'system.img' file in the 4.0.4 stock UK ROM ?
Then flashed the whole tar.md5 file in odin to the Galaxy Tab 2 P5100?
Would that work too?

[Q] Replacing CSC on SM-N915S

Hi guys,
I have the Korean version of the Note Edge, SM-N915S installed with the latest stock rom (N915SKSU1ANK5).
The device is rooted (CF-Auto-Root), and flashed with CWM Based Recovery 6.0.5.1 .
I also used Aroma Universal Bloatware Remover v1.3 (thank you UpInTheAir) to remove some bloatware.
Now I wish to replace the original CSC (Korean) with a different one that will support my language (iw-IL) as well as my local cellular carriers.
I did succeed to find an Israeli stock rom for the NOTE 4 (N910FXXU1ANK5_N910FOJK1ANK5_ILO) with the "right" CSC.
I opened both roms with the Android Kitchen v0.224 so that now I have access to the CSC directories on both.
My question is:
can I just replace the CSC directory on the EDGE rom with the one on the NOTE 4 rom or is it involved with more than this?
IMPORTANT (or not) - The roms are dealing with 2 different devices with different processors and firmware!
Thanks,
Matty
I doubt you can't do it. As the file structures are (may be) different.

Thanks vndnguyen.
One major question is if all CSC configuration is done in the CSC folder or is it also involving other folders or files.
Next question is if different processor influences on CSC configuration.
I'm less concerned with different model (Note 4 vs. Note Edge) as it is basically the same device. (or maybe I'm wrong here....?!)

I can't answer your question right now, but you can check yourself by following this instruction:
download the stock firmwares for both Note 4 and Edge, extract the CSC partition (cache.img.ext4 file) using Winrar and then extract this file using ext4 Unpacker tool.
That way you can compare the file structure of both models.
Or you could just flash my SkyHigh ROM ..... Changing CSC will FC the weather widget and no notification from weather widget on edge panel.

Change CSC code R775A

Hello everyone,
I am trying to change CSC code at my R775A but with no succed Watches are AT&T US version.
When I tried this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...to-xar-to-enable-samsung-pay-sm-r770.3718236/ after flash the combination FW i was unable to open *#272*719434266344#, nothing happened.I Think that I was on old Tizen (2.3.2.1) which is not supported for this.
Tried the method via sdb tools on Tizen 3 after command "launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration" CSC manager opened, but there was only one option "AT&T".
So tried the hardest way for me with Tizen studio and change the files "csc-active-customer.inf" and "prodcode.dat" to BTU CSC code (want to run samsung pay with curve solution). But after flashed the stock (AP,BL and CSC), the CSC is probable again changed to US (I'm not fully sure if checking this information right - looking at *#1234#). So now I'm stuck at the latest stock ROM and scared to do some tricky changes which could brick the watches.
Thinking about changing the files now via tizen studio on the stock FW, but do not know if it is possible and might be complete brick...?
Other method which is on my mind - flash the combination FW, make changes to BTU CSC code (Tizen studio) and then flash only AP and BL - complete bullsh*t or is it possible?
Or is not workaround to inject BTU CSC option?
Is there any more security with LTE versions of this watches and it is impossible change them to other FW and CSC?
Actual FW of my watches: AP: R775AUCU1DTE1; CP: R775AUCU1AQD2; CSC: R775AATT1DTE1
I Appreciate every advice! and sorry for my english
You can not choose by dreaming CSC...
You can select between script files inside "CSC"... in this case I mean csc.img...
Use Tool 7zip to extract files from csc.img...
Then I hope you better understand...
BTU is NOT inside US ATT Firmware...
Best Regards
Hello adfree,
thank you for clarify this.
I looked at the csc.img and as you said there is only ATT CSC.
There is no chance to add to this csc.img another CSC from another csc.img FW?
