Kies won't work unless you are on stock firmware. You'll need to go back to stock firmware/kernel and then unroot.

Just unrooting won't since the issue. You'd have to refer to the stock firmware as well as kernel as told earlier.
you'd have a custom cf kernel with cwm, goto stock by flashing xxkpe starting from pit.
Press thanks if helped

Go for your region specific firmware. Then unroot. I think there are unroot instructions on cfroot thread.

Install your region csc if you are using multi csc
To check your csc type following code
*#272*[yourIMEI]#
Take backup before typing this code
This will erase all your data

What specific steps did you take when flashing via Odin?
As far as I recall you don't change any check boxes and you place the stock tar image in PDA mode...

If you can get into Download Mode... don't worry. You can try flashing a stock rom with odin. If this don't work, then you have to flash a stock rom with odin but adding the pit file and marking the repartition check box.
All your info will be erased... but your tablet will come back to life

Trying to change CSC, but I'm getting error?!

Hey guys.
Still haven't rooted my phone and still using the ****ty stock 4.1.2.
Today I've tried to change my CSC from Bulgaria to Germany and flash 4.2.2 via OTA, but when i type *#272*(IMEI CODE)# to change the CSC, I'm getting error that says
Connection problem or invalid MMI code
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Read a topic about putting an "," after # but still didn't worked.
Any other solutions how to fix this error?
P.S - I've tried CSC Changer app for Samsung from Playstore but it requires root for our type of firmware.
QUICK QUESTION: Can I flash official 4.2.2 Germany ROM via ODIN without rooting my phone and will this action increase my binary counter? Thanks!

Yes you can flash german firmware with odin without root. And i think it will not increase your binary counter. But maybe another member knows for sure?

*#272*IMEI# doesnt work on jellybean.
no need for rooting to flash stock.
any official stuffs flashed with odin will not increase the binary counter.
you may need a factory reset after flashing if the product code didnt change to DBT

Okay I just flashed 4.2.2 Germany (first rom released) with odin but I'm stuck in bootloop ?!
I did everything like it shoud be! What shoud I do now?!
EDIT:
Oh, sorry. It was my fault. Hard reset and fashed it again and now everything works perfect. Thank you all, now I have 4.2.2 ))

I'm going to recommend some threads that you should read. Some are old, but still have very good information. The first link will show you the basic, and help you go from stock Froyo to custom GB. Then you can use what you learn there and the install information from the ROM you want to install, and go to JB or ICS.
The other links will come in handy in case of a problem, but I recommend to read them because it's good info to learn. Hope this help you.

I was flashing my phone using Odin and noticed after I clicked start that the re-partition option was checked. The Odin screen then froze .. After waiting for a while for it to continue the flashing process I finally close Odin and removed my battery to restart my phone. Unfortunately now I can't restart my phone. When I press the power button nothing happens. Now I also trying to flash using heimdall one click but following error occurred.
" LOCAL AND DEVICE PIT FILES DON'T MATCH AND RE-PARTITION WASN'T SPECIFIED!
Please Help me.. why this happened?

First things first, do you have an
SGH-T959V
or
SGH-T959W
?
You can check this by lifting the battery and checking the sticker on the phone.

I'm an odin fan. Does odin detect the phone while it's connected? Do you still have both drivers installed? They will clash.

Please be careful to make sure you have SGH-T959V under your battery!
Flashing SGH-T959V bootloaders will hose your SGH-T959W!

[Q] How do I hard-brick my phone?

Hello,
I'm trying to hard-brick my phone. Here's the deal, I can get into ODIN Mode only, no recovery and no regular boot. The problem is that the VZW software and anything I flash in ODIN fails. Both ML1 and NC1 yield a "Fused 2 > Binary 1" error and flashing NE1 results in a failed write in ODIN but no error on my phone (so I suspect it's the right ROM that needs to be flashed, but I have a RO system). I've tried with and without the PIT as well. So, the only option I see left is to hard brick the device and try the SD card method of de-bricking it. Anyone have any thoughts how I can do that or any thoughts on what I should try to flash?
Thanks!

Have you tried Android unified toolkit?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app

Yes, I tried it as well. The problem with the Toolkit is it requires ADB from what I can tell. ADB is not connecting to my phone. Literally all I have is ODIN Mode.
Thanks for your help, though!

What went wrong?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app

Well, the version I have 1.2.8 doesn't support Android 4.4 and the version I downloaded only supports ADB mode. I don't see any sort of ODIN mode support. ADB won't attach to the phone so none of the options work and the toolkit just hangs.
Thanks again for your help!
