Hello,
It all began when I updated my Nordic 5690 with Kies. With the April update of 2.3.6 the free scrolling in browser did not work, locked to up/down and left/right. And the G in the blue box was gone on the google search.
Anyway, I decided to roll back to 2.3.6 dec version with Odin 1.85. Flashed the single md5 file and got a fail on Arbel_CP.bin. Rebooted phone to test anyway. Worked fine now. G was back in blue box and free scrolling worked. BUT, there was no CSC in the phone when checking with *#1234# meaning no Swedish keyboard. And with no CSC Kies does not manage to get a connection so I can not update through Kies anymore.
SO I am stuck in this situation. What I would need is a separate NEE nordic CSC to flash that separately.
Anyone else got any ideas?
anyone got any idéas?

Off the 3 official kitkat 4.4.2 roms I have tested, Switzerland & Poland & Baltic, I find the Baltic one the best.
At least I get to use kitkat before the BTU variant is released,as long as I use the official sam-mobile firmware, basically I can test the different country variants of the new kitkat 4.4.2 without fear of tripping knox, and I still get the OTA updates.
Did you check your CSC?I had Netherland 4.4.2 PHN-N9005XXUENA6 and after i see what you write here i flash Baltic SEB-N9005XXUENA6 for the OTA update.Everything went ok but after i get the update now it's Poland new version CSC:NB1 (XEO).
Before update...
After update...
But here you don't see the CSC.You must install phone info and there you can see what country you have.

Hi orly.
Didn't see that, weird? why would an update change the CSC back to Poland, my CSC also shows N9005OXXENB1 and kies still says its an official version?
So to try to understand process I did a wipe cache and wipe data in recovery and it still shows N9005OXXENB1, so I re flashed Baltic ROM again and it now shows CSC N9005OXXENA5, now when I plug my note 3 into kies it says it wants to change it back
Just realised that the CSC has changed but both were the same XEO!
See screen dump.
Yes it's like mine.But the problem is that i have the Baltic CSC and now i have the Polonian CSC. Only with OTA update.

To see CSC put in *#1234# in phone dialer
I will flash the Switzerland ROM again after tea and report back, I am guessing that the first kitkat ROM you flash is the CSC you get stuck with unless you root, and the CSC variations are only small software programs that are country specific like the Switzerland ROM. As I flashed the first official Poland ROM I am stuck with XEO.
The core features like like say having 4G in settings are ROM specific not the CSC files, which is why I swapped between all the 3 kitkat versions I have tested..
My first rom was a baltic 4.3 with that one i bought the Phone.First time i have Baltic CSC then uk CSC after flash i made a full wipe and then Netherland CSC. I verify in kies3.
Phew..
So I flashed the Switzerland ROM again and my CSC is now N9005PHNENA2, I tried hard reset from menu and hasen't changed, plugged into pc for kies and says its latest? So I was wrong you can change the CSC it appears?
Which is great as I am waiting for the BTU variant this month hopefully.
I told you. Only on my s3 i need a software for change csc. It mean That you flash a old firmware. You didnt trip Knox?

Hi orly.
No my Knox fine, as long as I use official 4.4.2 ROM's. Now on latest Poland ROM.
@gadjet Just to clarify, you flashed the official polish rom with odin and knoxx wasnt tripped? If so what odin version did you use?

I have never been rooted on my Note 3, and I only flashed official firmware from samfirmare.com, not posted ones on XDA just in case, I use odin 3.09
You can see from my previous screen dumps while I flashed different variants this week, and I include a screen shot from my note 3 as of today with the latest Poland ROM.
I've flashed Official Poland 4.4.2 Feb 2014 too... just curious can you install an application from APK files ? I seems having problems not able to do it short while after Factory Reset... already enable in setting thou but still the Install bar can't be click...
? SM-N9005 @ Tapatalk ?
Yes you can.But first you must enable from settings unknown sources.Everything it's ok no wifi drop or something else sayed somebody.
New Poland ROM has same problems for me as first Poland release, i.e.. screen off f-ups and wake lock problems, phone does random lock ups when switching screen back on, and no buttons seem work for a few seconds and screen blank, capacitive buttons sometimes light up? I had to hold power button down for 10 seconds once to get a re boot!
So I am flashing back to the Baltic ROM again.
For all you uk t210 tab 3 owners
Kitkat is out now ota is 625meg
So I doing mine through kies as I had the Italy version
And had to flash back to uk jellybean to get it
working perfect .charging still works when off .all downloaded app data is still on
upgraded through kies not ota for better result
Why do you must go back to JB?
Download the Version and flash it with Odin.
yes worked good.
for german users, Netherlands OTA ist deutsche version (multi lang.)
use stook with root....
because i had flashed to italy france and last holland kit kats 442 with odin 3.09
so thought it be safe and clean to flash uk jellybean back through odin and let kies sort it out to make sure everything works smooth
so far perfect no lags battery icon works in offline mode
Hi one of the kids has let it update through the ota updater, and its been sat on the samsung logo for about 20 mins, doea that sound right ?
Don't want ro shut it down if its still updating
I've tried flashing BTU - the SIM free firmware - with ODIn, and whilst it seems fine, updates don't seem to work. I have factory reset after every flash yet still software updates don't work. I know this because the version of BTU firmware I flashed was at least three versions old. When I check for updates I just get 'your software is up to date' - yet there are at least three newer versions of BTU on Sammobile.
The only thing I can think is that the low-level Computrace software that Samsung allegedly puts in their firmware is messing with the updates server. I know that Computrace still exists in the App Manager when I flash BTU. I've also just flashed 5.1.1 and it's still there.
I'd like to know if anyone with an EE S6 has managed to successfully get updates after flashing to a stock ROM, or if EE have crippled it. I wouldn't mind using EE's firmware as there is next to no bloatware; but their updates are horribly slow.
I should point out that I have never rooted the phone and the KNOX counter is not tripped. I've only ever flashed official firmware.
Thanks.
It could be your CSC is still pointing to EE and not BTU?
Nope, CSC shows as BTU when I boot into recovery.
Hi!
A few months back, I installed the leaked version of the Edge lollipop fw leak on my German Note Edge, basically turning the 915FY into a 915F - which didn't trigger Knox and everything worked fine.
Now 5.0.1 is officially out in Germany (and the 5.1.1 OTA hopefully arriving relatively soon), I tried to turn the phone back to its original state. So I downloaded the 5.0.1 fw from sammobile and applied the tar to the PDA part. After a few minutes, the phone rebooted, updated the apps and the model number changed back from 915F to 915FY.
Today, it requested a security guideline update but failed during the update procedure. I had a closer look what might cause the issue. Booting into the download mode, I can see that Knox still says 0x0 (so that's good), booting into the stock recovery and it says 'multi-csc and then csc: SER' on the bottom, with SER standing for Russia.
So despite updating the PDA-part of the phone, I must still have some remains of the older firmware on it. I can remember that when I first installed the leaker version, I had several update files for the various parts of the phone, not just the PDA part.
So basically, what else do I need to install via ODIN to also turn the CSC back to Germany so the security guidelines can be updated and German OTA becomes available again?
Thanks in advance

Hello: I am in Colombia. The phone was purchased Used. I believe the phone was originally configured for Claro in Panama and that it then had Movistar Argentina Firmware flashed into it. I am a "Newbie" with Flashing, etc.
It was Unlocked and yesterday I Rooted it and it was working OK, but the Firmware was from 2014 and could not be updated via OTA or by KIES. My goal was to get Firmware that could be Updated and hopefully that was Unbranded.
I included the URL on SamMobile.com for the Firmware I flashed. I chose that one, hoping that it was Unbranded and I chose COL because KIES showed the previous Firmware ending in COL. That is apparently prohibited by XDA rules for new posters, but it is the latest one for Colombia for COL.
After Flashing the firmware with Odin the first time, and then the phone rebooting, I saw a message about 90 Android Apps updating. Then, it got to the Home Screen, which looked normal. However, if I tapped on any of the options (Settings, Phone, etc.) there was no response, as if the Screen was not receiving input. After rebooting several times and doing a Hard Reset, the issue continued.
THen, I Flashed that Firmware with Odin again. This time, there is a different symptom. After it boots, it will eventually get to a "Welcome" screen (in Spanish) where I am given an option (in Spanish) to select the language, which is shown as U.S. Spanish, or to select Accessibility, or to Continue, but if I tap on any of those options, nothing happens and after a few seconds, it again reboots. It is now in that loop, continuously.
The Wipe Data/Factory Reset option did not help the issues the phone is having.
When the phone boots, there is a momentary screen that shows "Tigo Smart", so this is apparently not an Unbranded Firmware that I was hoping to get for the phone.
The phone is in a "Boot Loop" as I am typing this post.
Questions: Is there another Firmware that you would recommend I get for this phone? Which Firmware? If not, how can I get the phone to work properly again?
After the first Flash of the Firmware, it got to what I call the "Home Screen" and looked as it did before I Flashed this FIrmware, but when I tapped on things, there was no response.
Thank you, in advance, for your time and your help, which I sincerely appreciate! Lanny
P.S.
This is my first post here. Please move this to another place, if that's appropriate. I cannot post this in the forum for this model, because it is my first post here.
Follow on with additional information
Before I began working with the phone, I noted the "Baseband Verson" is G355MUBU0ANJ2.
The first Firmware I downloaded from SamMobile did not have "UBU" in the PDA.
I downloaded another "COL" firmware for Colombia from SamMobile that does have "UBU" in the PDA.
I flashed that Firmware and the phone is doing the same thing it did with the first Firmware I installed (after I flashed it the 2nd time).
It is getting to the "Welcome" screen (in Spanish) and then if I tap, to change the language, or on another option, nothing happens.
Also, it is in a "Boot Loop" again.
I have my fingers crossed (and will pray) that someone here can tell me which Firmware I should get for this phone with a "Baseband Version" of G355MUBU0ANJ2
Thank you again, for your time and help which I greatly appreciate! Lanny
Solved by Flashing original 2014 Firmware
That was not how I hoped this would turn out, but the phone is working again. I installed the original Firmware, which is for Claro in Panama and is dated October 2014. I lost all of the changes I had made, but I will be able to get it back to the way I had it, in the next day or two. If anyone knows how I can Flash a much later Stock Firmware in this phone, that will work properly in it, please let me know. Thank you!
P.S. Someone had installed Movistar Firmware in the phone before we got it. I think it was for Movistar in Argentina. We are in Colombia.
