XEU gingerbread for I9003?

I'm looking for an official Samsung I9003 gingerbread firmware with CSC of XEU?
For some reason, Kies thinks that my new I9003 is on the latest firmware because its on KB4....?
Kind regards
Dave

For east Europe use XXKPQ for vest Europe use XWKPG

Thanks - I'll have a look around for XWKPG.
Kind regards
Dave

Hold on - that seems to be an indian firmware, rather than a european one? is that OK for my device?
This is what I'm getting for the current version
PDA: I9003XWKB4
PHONE: 19003XXKB1
CSC: I9003OXXKB2
I thought OXX was portugal, so now I'm even more confused!

Assuming that there really is no gingerbread XEU firmware (which I'm having a hard job believing, this is a current model on sale in the stores right now) then that might be the only way to do it. But I really want to find an official XEU GB firmware for the I9003 if there is one out there.
Is there anyone else here who has an unlocked I9003 UK model? what firmware are you running?

Need XEU
I too have a GT-I9003 which I bought online last year. The original CSC was TGY (Hong Kong I think).
I flashed XXKPE/XXKPQ/XXKPU so I now have latest Gingerbread but I am stuck with a CSC of SER (Poland or Russia?).
Everything works fine. Kies sees it as latest. It's just annoying to be stuck with an eastern CSC.
Would also welcome any tips on how to get to CSC of XEU.
Rather wary of spoof apps.

XEO?? If you want to be first in line, use CSC NEE or DBT instead.
XEO is useless though

For s4 BTU will be always better than xeo - all froms for s4 are unbranded anyway
I dont need ota updates - custom rom and good kerenel is recomended
This board provide fastest updates than any OTA in Poland or elsewhere

XEO (Poland) is much much slower compared to DBT (Germany) and I would not recommend people to use XEO if they want the first updates. I don't understand why you recommend XEO to people while DBT is the only one that gets updated so much.
And no it's not ''faster'' as you say

i know germany is fastest
I got UK phone, and it was very slow updates
poland ones are faster
but i ment just show it works changing CSC and flashing XEO or any other faster firmware then BTU
XEO got updates not much slower then German one
I might switch to german one tho if it faster
Still would works same for me I guess
But I want OTA, so would change CSC again to german one
where can I download latest German firmware ?
thanks

why i cant change CSC from XEO to DBT using https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...kk.cscselector
DBT is not listed, why ?

u got it wrong
I did flash DBT firmware over my S4 witch XEO CSC, used PDA 1 file, yes you can flash it, but after u still on XEO csc, so u end up witch Phone witch XEO csc and DBT firmware, means OTA will not work.
You have to flash separate csc file to change it, or root phone and use csc changer app, like i did
may b its different for S3, but I doubt it.
Flashing 1 file on s4, dont change CSC, just making different firmvare csc code on different CSC phone code, so they different, if u know what i mean...

if it would be that easy I would not ask how to change csc, just flash whatever firmware I want and it would change csc code, but It dont work like that...

[Q] Help me! I can't find the original Poland Samsung Firmware!!

Hello everyone! Please help me! I can't find the original Poland Samsung firmware for my device with the following features:
AP: I9105PXXAMC2
CP: I9105PXXAMC1
CSC: I9105POXXAMB5
Does anyone know where I can download this firmware for POLAND REGION ( XEO )?
I tried to download the firmware from many sites and forums but actually they are not for Poland REGION XEO. Infact when I installed ALL OF THEM and I flashed the firmware with ODIN software, in the first screen that appeared to me indicated FRENCH as the default language and so when I went to the recovery after flash the phone the yellow writes said "APPLIED THE CSC-CODE: XEF" which meaning that the firmware IS NOT THE POLAND VERSION. Infact XEF meaning FRENCH FIRMWARE, NOT POLAND!!!!
Please help me to find the poland version for my galaxy sII plus NFC, I really need it for warranty reasons!!
PS: I also tried to install the firmware XEO that I found on this forum BUT ACTUALLY IT is the XEF version and NOT the XEO one( which means that the firmware I found on this forum is not the poland one )...
PS2: Sorry for my bad english but please HELP ME!!

I know but when I download the XEO version from the site and I flash it into my phone I recognize that actually it is the XEF version not the XEO one even though on the site there is written that it is the XEO version. Maybe the developers maked a mistake and probably have confused the folders and have added the xef firmare into the xeo firmare folder... I don't know but please help me to find the right poland firmware!

I think it isn't so hard to get the right firmware. Best way i think is to register on sammobile.com. After that you login go under firmware type your device name gt-i9105 or with the p like my signature. Now you see all firmwares for the S2+! Search for the right one from poland and be happy! Hopefully

What digitaliban said was true. On sammobile you can find your needed firmware for Poland (XEO). Download details:
Model: GT-I9105P
Country: Poland
Version: Android 4.1.2
Changelist: N/A
Build date: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000
Product Code: XEO
PDA: I9105PXXAMC2
CSC: I9105POXXAMB5
MODEM: I9105PXXAMC1
If you want to download that version please try http://www.hotfile.com/dl/217325089/f54e762/I9105PXXAMC2_I9105POXXAMB5_XEO.zip.html

my advice is to double check what you're flashing,sometimes,when we flash the previous rom,odin always direct us to the previous rom,try to check the direction of the odin and fix it to the correct one/new firmware you've downloaded.
my previous experience is that i always accidentally flash firmware of 4.1.2 because i thought it's 4.2.2 folder.

OBVIOUSLY I check the correct folder in which there's the correct firmware 2000000000 times before flashing and I wipe cache and data before and after the flash...
However AS I SAID IN THE PRECEDENTS POSTS I flash the firmware that is on sammobile.com and it doesn't work becouse is always the french version and not the poland one...
PLEASE don't keep me repeating the same thing on every post....

Chill bro,there's no need to be rude and cap lock your statement,if we're not helping,just ignore us,though we're trying. This is a forum,not samsung service centre, peace bro

best International firmware

I purchased the S7 G930F and it was installed with Panama firmware (TPA), using Odin and sammobile I installed United Kingdom BTU because it had received the March security patch. Is there any particular firmware that is best for using in the U.S. on at&t/cricket wireless?

I didn't follow the secure pin instructions. I used the program SamFirm and downloaded the BTU rom which had the Multi-CSC, my firmware was Vodafone branded and had the Vodafone VOD CSC.
Once I used the correct Odin and flashed the BTU rom I reset the phone in the settings and then I had the XEU CSC which is the correct CSC for Ireland and the UK.

Thank you. I flashed and now have build number NRD90M.G955FXXU1AQDD
Service provider software XEU/XEU/VOD
Is this UK/IRL XEU or still Vodafone UK firmware?

Excuse my ignorance, what is BTU? I am with O2, what benefit do we get from flashing BTU, no bloat apps?
Also I haven't yet accepted any updates, if we do, and realize for example we want to Re-map the Bixby button can we backtrack with this Firmware?

So doing this did not trip Knox ?
