Hi having SGS I9000 branded by Tmobile Czech republic iam quite unhappy with GPS which is unable to get a position fix. I remember that on the Eclair it worked well.
I was told by support that there is no way i can revert to Eclair.
So iam thinking of going forward for Froyo 2.2.1 which i was told is far better then 2.2.
What concerns me is how to get phone to original state in case of some problems to use warranty.
I know, that its not possible to download current FW from phone, but i would like to be sure that i can restore Firmware by firmware from internet.
And i dont know for what carrier will look for to see wheter there is original firmware or not.
PDA: I9000BOJPB
PHONE: I9000BOJP3
CSC: I9000GTMZJP5
Build info: 2010.11
PCode: GT-I9000HKDTMZ
I have found this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11607165) but its said that its a fake(??) and also CSC differs.
Q1: Can i backup the PDA/PHONE/CSC via ODIN and then combine them with firmware listed bellow?
Q2: How can i tell that firmware is fake? Is there some emulator or something to see it?
Thanks for answer,
MP

You can flash a stock ROM for your region and then Kies should recognise that.
Here are stock ROMs...

If you've not done it before it can look a little daunting, but all the information you need is in the first few posts of each thread.
Good luck
but why my phone doesnt it gets updated via kies?like if my bro send me a phone from uk.should i send the phone back for updates?
You don't need to send your phone anywhere to get it updated - there must be another reason why Kies won't update it. Have you ever flashed a custom ROM or firmware?
actually it was locked here and i went to a shop to unlock it.it has siyah kernel and i guess it was flashed once for unlocking.
and how to get back the custom ROM etc if it was flashed?
yes i did flash custom firewre and ROM.let mee send u the snapshot of it.
You cannot use Kies to update your ROM if you have a custom ROM. It will only work if you have the correct branded or unbranded ROM as per my first post.
i am from Pakistan.
so can you tell me which ROM is for my area.please if you know.paste the link below.thanks.
your device does not support upgrading via kies
I flashed the stock firmware. bell. UGKG2.
i am unable to update via kies.
it says my firmware is I9100MUGKG2 (KOR)

No updates via kies
Hi All ,
I gave my phone to samsung people for EFS or IMEI Problem .
They updated my phone to same version 2.3.6 I was already on it .
and now when I am connecting my phone to kies for ICS update its saying
"Your phone does not support updates via kies"
Never rooted..
the product code of your phone has changed, to be exact the country code in the phones product code. you will need the IMEI number and your country code to switch it.
you can check your current product code
*2767*4387264636#
1. get your country code from fus.nanzen.se
scroll down to presets and search for you country/provider check the product code. the last three letters are your country code.
Create a backup before proceeding it will wipe your data and reboot your phone.
2. To change your country code (IMEI = your phone IMEI number, you can get your IMEI by typing *#06#)
*#272*IMEI#
You will have a list of available codes to choose from. install the one which applies to your country.

Had a similar issue yesterday when I tried to update my rooted 5.0.2 to an official 5.1.1. I have used ODIN many times before since SGS3, and back then you were able to mix your system image from other regions, but that apparantly has been locked down by Samsung. Now you can only update an official version of the rom if it exactly matches your existing region. Because you updated your SK international S6 and tried a region set rom from Czech it most likely failed towards the very end of flash with "FAIL".
Your options are: 1) you download the 5.1.1 version for your region in ODIN format from SAMMobile or 2) you use Smart Switch and let it do it for you - in this case you will need to know the SN of your phone as it is used for verification.
Samsung has locked down the serial number with the regions that come with it. So if you have to install, you should update it or use same region odin file. There is a way to break this chain if you are rooted and some additional files are being used in the odin but I am not completely sure as I have not tried it yet. But there are chances that you may void your warranty if you try that or the worse hard brick as it can sometimes change your serial number if not used properly. but I wouldn recommend that. I'll let you know once I understand the usage correctly.
Hi all,
I'm actually using Arter's Back-to-Note with Arter kernel.
The device is an Italian WIND branded one over I flashed first the ITV firmware to get rid of bloatware, then the H3G one for better compatibility with my carrier network and in the end some custom roms.
Now, I'd like to update to Marshmallow but I don't know which version to flash through Odin.
At the moment, I'm thinking about the Italian Vodafone one, the French unbranded one or the Cyprus one.
The main doubts are:
- If I need a particular PIT file to flash these firmware;
-Which is the best firmware to flash?;
-Is possible to downgrade to Lollipop then?
Hi, i'm Italian also, and i have your same phone branded Wind.
- i don't think you need a particular PIT file, because if it was necessarily, Odin had to ask for it when you passed from the branded rom to the ITV one. (i did the same, without the PIT file, and everything went fine).
- if you flash the french one, the SpO2 measuration in SHealth will doesn't work, if you don't use it, you can flash this one or the Vodafone one (i chose these ones because are the most nearly cities)
- i had read that you can downgrade, but i am not sure, i haven't tried it yet. i'm updating to Marshmallow, only because i've tried all but my signal doesn't work, i don't really like the Marshmallow TouchWiz, if the signal it's not gonna start working, i will downgrade
Hi, guys! I bought a second-hand, unrooted Galaxy S7, model SM-G930S that shows the SK Telecom logo on boot, so it seems it is from South Korea. I want to replace its firmware for the Brazilian one (I suppose it's one of the G930F variants), but since it's my first Samsung phone, I don't know how to do it and if it's possible to do it, but I already know some of the necessary version stuff though:
SM-G930S
AP: G930SKSU1DQJ1
CP: G930SKSU1DQJ1
CSC: G930SSKC1DQJ1
Can someone tell me if it's possible to replace it and how can I do it? Will I need the ODIN tool people talks about a lot here? What else?
If this is your first Samsung device, then I do not recommend you start playing with firmware installs. Try to use it first as it is and then, if you do not like it, custom the firmware.

I have been with it for two months already. I do not like the korean firmware, thanks.
And, no, I do not want a custom firmware/ROM, a just want to know if it is possible (and how) to flash the Brazilian or International Samsung firmware, like I said above.

You can't flash the wrong model firmware to your phone

Hi all,
Yesterday I bought an S10e under the impression that it is sm-g970F.
Trying to flash Android 11 I discovered that it is actually sm-g970N.
Is there really a difference between them?
Should I be worried that some functions will be missing/unavailable?
Also, in the settings, it appears as g970F. How did the seller change it??
I have the same problem i tried to update the phone to the latest sm-g970f rom (figured if it's already installed it's possible)
And non of the roms flashed only when i decided to try latest sm-g970n rom it flashed however i bricked the phone and i have no idea what to do now.

So after digging into the issue since i have the same problem here are my conclusions:
1. The phone is a Korean Variant G970N it is probably a renewed phone and not a new one.
apparently it's okay for an importer to take used phones (from Korea in this case) and replace all the cosmetics but of cause leaving the used MB.
Now here is what you should worry about, in order to flash the G970F Fixed Rom (there is no way you have updates) they used a Custom Kernel which means the phone was rooted and now Knox is tripped (this not reversible).
(Download Phone Info from play store and check knox if it shows 0x1 then your phone warrenty is void and some features won't be available any more for example - Samsung Pay).
So what should you do?
Well if you still have the option i would have demanded my money back!!
One thing that i am perplexed about is how in hell is this legal?!!!
If you no longer have this option or you want to keep the phone you have two option:
1. Flashing Korean Unbranded Firmware (KOO) which is pretty good it doesn't have bloatware or issues as far as i can tell, i only found one down side for it, the phone language selection is small but if you only need English (like any normal Human) then you are golden.
2. Keep the G970F ROM but bare in mind it will receive no updates and no security patches.
I am still looking for a proper way to flash G970F Firmware over G970N for now i haven't found any internet source that will confirm it's even possible.
So how did those importers\sellers did it, they probably flashed it with a Cellphone Lab Software (not Odin solution) and used a custom Kernel to fool Knox, like i said before this is practically a crime and i don't understand how can they sell used phones as new and get away with it!!!!
I had the same suspicions....
I'll try going to the lab that sold the previous owner the device and deal with them tho it looks like I just got scammed...
Sorry to bring this up again but I've just had an idea following JerryRigEverything's video:
What if I transplant SM-G970F components from a broken device that no longer works or in use in my SM-G970N which is supposedly new.
My N device is now bricked for some reason I couldn't solve, though my suspicion is that it has to do with incompatibility with the SIM card I use.
When my device did work, it worked great! ...besides battery issues that are most likely a result of the incompatibility aforementioned.
Will this work? If so, what components do I need? I already know I'll need the logic board but as seen in the video, there are several more antennas, should I just copy what Jerry did?

Hi Vegetto,
I am from India and buy a galaxy S10e from UAE, It is showing G970F in the Phone's about but the problem is It is a G960N. Now, When I see in Sam Phone Info app there is Bootloader version - G970N, PDA Version - G970F, CSC G970F.
It is also a Knox tripped phone. Knox 0/1.
But if I see in Samsung code by typing in keypad *#12580*369#
it showing like all option in Odin:
BL: G970F
AP: G970F
CP: G970F
CSC: G970F
Does this means I can flash new Firmware on the list of SAM Mobile website, with G970F series firmware, It also showing in SAM Phone Info App that there latest firmware G970FXXSEFUL1/G970FOXMEFUJ2/G970FXXSEFUJ2.
I am in India right now.
Please help me, My email Id is -- [email protected]
It actually means you cannot flash SM-G970F the only roms you can flash are G970N.
Also if you want the phone to get security updates you must flash the original phones bootloader version, my suggestion download the G970N KOO firmware it's a global firmware. As for the knox it is tripped and there is nothing you can do about it.

How can I flash the original phone's bootloader version?
Where from I can download the original phone's G970N KOO Firmware and is it official Samsung Firmware?
How are they able to flash G970F? Is it custom Rom or do they use the original one?
I searched that my phone is using G970FXXS4BTB3 firmware which Vietnam XXV and same number found at https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s10e/firmware/SM-G970F/XXV/download/G970FXXS4BTB3/322678/ in an old update in 2020.
So see the attached screenshot, can I flash its latest version with odin. Of course, there is a chinese written in recovery mode installed when I go to its recovery mode for flashing with Odin.
I have a similar problem right now on my Korean S10E. Device is SM-G970N. I need it to be in Turkish. Only Themes item in Settings is in Turkish- very interesting- The rest is in English. App names are mostly Turkish Settings app name is in English.
The bootloader is unlocked but the phone is not rooted, Knox seems not tampered.
Could not start OTA update at first, I have upgraded a few versions from PC via Smartswitch. Just then noticed OTA also started downloading. The rest of the updates went on from the phone until upgrading to 12, there was a message like "All of the updates were not succesful." OTA update no longer responded. This time I turned back to Smart Switch. Update finished this time and finally I am at the latest version.
I only need Turkish in Settings. I used some ADB commands and an app called MoreLocale2. It did not work either. This has to be simple. Turkish exists. Keyboard is Turkish but not Settings. Quick links and most other things are strangely mixed English and Turkish.
How can I enable full Turkish?
