Hi,
I have a P6800 with HK vendor code. When the ICS appeared I couldn't wait for the HK version, so I rooted the tablet and flashed first the P6800XXLQ1_CSC_ATO and later the P6800XXLQ2_CSC_ATO, both with Mobile Odin. I did it with the EverRoot option, so the device is still rooted. Since I live in Hungary and the ATO CSC is also for my country, it seemed to be the best choice. And really, the tablet works well, I am satisfied with it -- let alone some minor bugs.
But certainly I lost the possibility to get further updates by KIES. (In fact, since flashing the ICS ROM, KIES doesn't want to recognise the tablet at all.)
I may pass the tablet to someone inside my family and that's why now I'd like to restore the 'normal' state: gain back the KIES connection, the possibility to upgrade with KIES, etc.
The best would be to change the vendor code from TGY to ATO, so that the CSC and vendor code would match. Is it possible? If yes, how?
Thanks
goto playstore and search a software name galaxy s/s2 csc
i manage to change my csc using that software. but the device will factory reset after changing csc.

Yes, thanks, but I knew about that app, I downloaded it and run it, but in my case it wasn't useful. It detected my code as TGY but didn't offer another code to change to. (see attachment)
I guess this app worked for Honeycomb ROM but not anymore with ICS ROM.

Then flash back to HC ? Then look on Sammoble for ICS ROM for your area .
Yeah, I might do it... I just hoped to be able to avoid flashing and flashing again...
Maybe someone, who changed the CSC not before but AFTER flashing the stock ICS ROM, could help me by telling me where the vendor code stored in ICS ROMs.
It is different from the Honeycomb ROMs for sure, because the 'system/csc' folder does not exist anymore in ICS. Meanwhile the Galaxy S/S2 CSC app recognized somehow that my vendor code is TGY, so this information is stored somewhere, but I don't know where... If I knew it, I could try to modify it with Root Explorer, since the device is rooted.
To tell the truth, I'm afraid of flashing BACKWARD a 3.2 ROM and bricking the tablet...
i think that your rom isn't multi csc, only roms with multi csc gives you the ability to change it.
maybe honeycomb 3.2 for your region will fix your problem, do some research here on xda to how restock your tab before flashing, I think there is some problems to get back to hc, but everyone managed to surpass it.

Hi do you know by chance which ICS ROM is multi-CSC? Maybe I could resolve my problem by flashing it and not downgrading to HC ROM.
Thanks
sorry mate, I don't know, i haven't upgrade mine to ics yet.

I fleshed the P6800ZSLP7 ICS ROM (HK, the same as my sales code) with the hope that it's multi CSC, and yes, it is, but ATO is not among the possibilities...
So still no solution for me...
i would suggest to restock it to Honeycomb 3.2, maybe later this year an ATO update will be available directly from Kies.
you can find the stock rom on sammobile. com

Exactly that's what I'd like to avoid! Honeycomb ROM was so slow, lacking the smoothness the hardware is made for, that don't want to use it again. Now I'm with the HK ICS ROM (P6800ZSLP7) that is a little bit inferior than the 2nd ATO ROM, but still works without any serious bug and at least matches with the vendor code.
And I hope that some time a developer or expert will find out how to change the vendor code....

Hi all,
I am trying to follow up on the rumours of ICS being released in the UK via Kies. However, I have a US firmware on my SGT 7+ (P6210UELA3) and I'd like to get the UK version (or EU if there isn't a UK one) on there to see if I can grab the ICS update.
Does anyone have a link to the official UK/EU firmware from which I can grab and flash the ROM?

He heard it here from qubeuk user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28725729
It may be a short-term released firmware he accidentally updated to, but it's not available yet. According to its build time, it was compiled some hours after the P6200 firmware.
I understand Samsung strategy. Releases only one firmware per device per week, only for one small region. They know xda members will jump on it, install it, and besides Austrian users, experienced users will stress-test the firmware. Maybe they solve bugs, too, like the P6800 WIFI bug (and I bet this can be applied to P6200 users, too, check P6800 forum). After testing that, they will fix all errors and release firmwares for all regions and all models in a few weeks.
And, they're right. No better and cheaper testers than experienced users. And this way, simple users will just get a stable version later.

I don't wanna get into a useless fight but think it over again. Open your eyes and see what happens when a device like tab7+ comes to surface months after ICS is introduces with HC installed and almost a year is needed to get ICS in a very limited region first, but letting experienced users to install it on their device. Why? Money?
Believe me, this is the strategy. This way, major bugs affect only a few "official" users (Austrian people), but experienced ones can find all bugs by using and testing devices for free. Why? Less investment?
So, "sorry", but believe this is how it works. And I believe your opinion is based on decades of software production knowledge, but mine is.

You are completely wrong about the ICS timeframe just so you know. Its only been on the street for 7ish months. And on tablets for farrrrr less time.

You're completely right! I remembered that G7+ was released in February but now I see it was released in last October. Sorry, my bad. Anyway, it doesn't change my opinion on Samsung firmware upgrade policy.
Official UK ICS 4.04 GT-P6210 Firmware
Here is the link for the official UK 4.04 ICS firmware for the P6210 I've downloaded and installed via Odin today on 2 6210's no problems and much better than honeycomb. I also change my CSC as mine was set to France and now set to UK so updates via Kies work etc.

I used a program from the play store which change the CSC from XEF (France) to XEU (UK) link below. It didn't state that it work for the GT-P6210 but did work fine with a little messing. If I ran it from 3.2 Honeycomb it didn't come up with any options to change the CSC and just showed I was on XEF (France) CSC so what seemed to work for me is to factory reset 3.2 (or 4.04 if you have already installed update)and leave it at the language selection screen do not enter any set-up details then turn off and enter download mode and flash 4.04 firmware from Odin. Once that's finished complete initial set-up and get into the 4.04 OS and install CSC selector from the Play store and run it selecting XEU (UK) from the list and install the new CSC. This will automatically do another full reset on the device changing the CSC to the new region and will now updates OTA or through Kies no problem as your CSC matches the firmware (this is confirmed when you open Kies as it shows the CSC on the initial screen).
Whenever you change the CSC it always wipes the device a little annoying but only needs doing the once so not a big problem to get the device right.

Hi,
I tried to come back to stock rom, and the sotck rom that I found was a "Store Rom", I mean with no lock screen option and a screen saver that describe nicely the galaxy note 10.1 functions....
Anyone know where I can find a true Stock Rom ??
Thanks in advance.
Your best bet is to go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and search in "N8010" then download the firmware for your country. Sammobile is a huge repository of Samsung rom's and contains all of the official ones. I don't think you'll find a single fake on there.
you can also find stock rom for your model here:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8010
8000 is for most of the world and supports GSM/3G phone/data.
8013 is for the US and only supports WiFi.
From what I'm seeing up here in Canada, we're supposed to get 8010 which is also WiFi only
(I have an 8013 because I bought mine in the US a month ago)...
So.. What's the difference between an 8010 and an 8013?
Install apk
Can i install normally apk on ubuntu image ?
I bought just yesterday a samsung galaxy r9103, all good and in order but i have a lillte problem.
In Csc i only have CHN and CHZ.
I`ve downloaded and flashed using odin and guide ( 10x for that) Gb 2.3.6. Non branded and all region PDA, MODEM and CSC files.
After that i used that code*#272*IMEI# but also got just those 2 Sales codes like i said.
And who sold that phone to me didn'ttold me that this phone is boght form China, and i dont like those stck apps that are installed after i flashed that rom ( and also i can`t use gmail .apk, playstore.apk, gmaps and so on).
tell me is there a solution that ca can fiind to this problem.
I want toinstall a allreagion CSC so my problems will be solved, but i didn`t find anything ( tutorial, guide, thead) about my problem.
I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.

If you are rooted & want to do..then root your phone & switch to CM10.1. It has all solutions.
So a solution to remain on actualy rom 2.3.6gb all region u dont have?
See pictures.!
which region are you in? Which region rom would you like to use? You can flash any stock 2.3.6 Official Samsung ROM from this link
Welcome to the SGR Family
You will have to download Odin in your PC and flash the stock rom you want via that software. Then you will have another region's CSC in your phone. The current bugfree and stable 2.3.6 ROMs are the austrian "3" provider rom. To be honest, the reason why most of us here recommend CM10.1 is because of its awesomeness. Another point is that Gingerbread Roms (2.3.6) and ICS Roms (4.0.4) which were officially released by samsung are buggy for us. For eg, in GB Indian CSC version Rom the data counter doesnt work properly and in ICS the games do not work properly, there is frequent stuttering etc. Hence we moved to jelly bean 4.2 in cm10.1 which is just beyond amazing.
However, if you use GPS often or skype/other voice calling apps over the internet they may not work properly yet. GPS is sort of moody and is working for some and not for the rest.. not sure why.. but i'm sure all these bugs will be squashed out soon..
Happy flashing

Well, i bought my phone here in the Philippines. Also i came across a thailand firmware while searching and it matches mine, but the link is not available anymore.
So if you can find/give a stock firmware for me it will really help me a lot.
p.s. i cant post links yet so google "s7500dxlb1" and view the one that says "S7500DXLB1 Android 2.3.6 Thailand Firmware Download" to see the link im talking about.

Don't be worry.
I live in Taiwan but I can flash even German version( I've tried before)
This firmware is the latest. I think your version is older one. Samsung released several version to make it stable, so the latest version is the stablest version and it will also add some new features.
Actually, all S7500 firmware is suitable but you have to notice that your area.
Because I found I flash German 2.3.6 stock firmware and I cannot have stock Chinese keyboard in it.
Flash your country version is the best choice.
p.s. if you flash from a custom rom, don't forget to back up data you want and do factory reset. it will make your S7500 work like a new phone
thanks a lot

Hi guys.
I was wondering if there is a way we can trick Kies to recognize the phone (S2 plus NFC) that it belongs to a country that has already received the official Android 4.2. I ask this because for Romania has not yet given update to 4.2 and I do not want to use any Odin. Also, if you can fool Kies it is possible to lose your phone warranty?
If we fool Kies it is possible to return to the basic android?

For warranty I think you need install original stock firmware you had when you've bought phone (for Vodafone I don't think you have one on Sammobile..)
If it will be an official update for Romania (Vodafone), you can install it via Odin from Sammobile firmware list. CSC will be modified to the stock's one.
