Had anyone decoded the region coding in ROM versions?

As it was noted in some of the threads here the last two digits in the ROM version apparently the region code.
So let say even if it is an Asian ROM but one is x.xx.831.1 and another is x.xx.707.1 they are not for the same region(?) and one will not flush over the other without Hard-SPL.
I'm trying to figure out the version coding. It looks, for example, that x.xx.831.1 is for Hong Kong.

These are the codes I know... maybe there are some more...

so ehm... what do you really want to know?

What is CDC, PDA and PHONE?
When someone asks "What firmware are you using?", which of these is the correct answer? I see that i have JM5 for PDA and JM1 for PHONE and CDC.

I guees he wants to know which file has the correspondance in odin:
csc --> csc
modem --> phone
code --> pda

My turn to guess
Maybe he wants to know what firmware we use.
In my case, I use :
CODE_I9000XWJM7.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000XXJM3.tar.md5
CSC_I9000OXAJM1.tar.md5
from samfirmware.com

Which would work out as you are running JM7.

Hehe I guess the question was not very clear.
I just to know what each software component is, functionality wise. What does PDA control? Is PHONE the firmware used by the radio? What about CDC?

It's not really that your question wasn't clear, but you're dropping a few words, so... yeah, your question wasn't clear
Anyway, from the pinned topic called "[REF] BIG FAQ! {Flash/Root HOWTO} {ADB&Tutorials} {T&T} {FW-Guide} [MUST READ!]" :
3.Why are there multiple files in the firmware archive/folder?/Why do I get three different versions when using *#1234#?
Galaxy S firmware updates come in three parts:
-The CODE itself (called PDA). This is android and all the applications that come with it. (The archives/folders will be named after the version of this file)
-The MODEM (called Phone). This is the firmware of the wireless chipset of the device and will operate you WiFi, Blutooth and 3G/2G/GSM connections. (ie Radio ROM)
-The CSC (short for Customer Specific Customization). This includes connection data for the broadband networks as well as apps that are only available in certain languages/intended for a specific area.
If we ask for your firmware, we want to know all three!
Since not all of these require updates simultaneously, often then CSC and MODEM files will have lower version numbers.

[Q] Is it possible to change the product code

Hi
my problem is that kies says it can not update my phone's firmware.
after searching the web,I figured out that my phone's product code must have been changed.
And I found out the product code can be changed with qualcomm tools.but I absolutely have no idea about it
Anyone can help?

If kies cannot update your phone, first point to verify is the installed csc in Pre-Configuration setting. For kies to upgrade your phone, you need to install a full firmware for your region, and select the correct csc file in Pre-Configuration (after flashing).
Product codes don't change by themselves. So if you never changed yours, maybe it shouldn't have changed by itself. But if it did, then you need to revert it back to it's original.
Caution here, the process involved in changing product is not for noobs, so be careful if you choose to do so.
There are lots of tutorials on product code change in this forum. Just need a patient search to find them.
You can as well read this tutorial from another forum. I hope it helps out.

hi all,
Yes it's possible and it's verry simple, but you need to flash your phone twice.
Here is the solution:
Flash S8500XXJID (the only one capable of changing the product code).
Change your product code #272#HHMM# >>XEF for exemple.
Flash with S8500XXJL2 or other original fw for your region.
Enjoy!

Flash S8500XXJID (the only one capable of changing the product code).

Who told you that?!!!!!
Any 1.2 FW is capable of changing the product code through the pre-config menu
the method that spacks mentioned is for the people who don't want to lose any data through flashing or pre-configuring their phones
Please dig in things more before talking about it
XXJID is not that special
Best Regards

I don't speek english enough to answer you... Dommage..

oh sorry ekhalid i didn't see that was you
all respect to you for the SHP hack
but with all respect to you in this case you are wrong
i changed my product code before with S8500JPKC1 & yes it is not XXJID
i think i did more tests than you so i know this
please forgive me if you fell that i was rude

Create a new CSC... Possible?

I know, that this might be a strange idea...
We know, bada has languages, preconfigurations and keyboards for different countries...
But we also know, that everything depends on the CSC (e.g. INU, DBT, XEO,...)
My intention is to create a complete new CSC...
For Example: ATU for AT&T in USA...
Just in theory...
Maybe one of the experts has an idea, if there is an algorithm for checking CSC...
Maybe it is possible to modify bada in that way, that it can handle "Custom-CSCs"...

If you mean preconfiguration only then yes it is possible
You just need to know some info about the network you are making CSC for
Also edit another CSC preconfiguration and don't make your file from scratch
Just specify the network you want to make the preconfiguration for and i'll try to help you
Best Regards

Why you need it?
you alredy have CSC for a lots of networks..
I mean that you have the CSC for you own network. Whay you need to work about something that exists.
Sorry if I didnt understand your idea.
Sory for my ENGLISH...

taxidriver05 idea isn't strange

Okay
This sounds good
Can you please provide network configuration profiles ??
I am ready to make that CSC profile...maybe i'll call it FFR (If Samsung didn't already give it a name)
I'll take care of the rest...just network config is required
As a start the MCC/MNC of Free France is either 20814 or 20815
This code is for the phone to show network name in Lock screen & Status bar

Sorry it's in French...

Free France CSC is ready (or i hope so)
There was no server ip or port no. on the website that Soxix provided (Thanks for that...my french is so poor and this was a great help )
Only for FW developers
Please try this CSC profile if you have a Free France SIM card to test with
I guess that files will talk about itself

Let's see, if it works...

Galaxy Watch 46mm LTE (SM-R805U) work in canada LTE (Region change)

HI ALL, I have samsung 46mm watch (SM-R805U) I think it is a USA version, I am trying to connect it to Canada LTE with Telus. I have the service to add a watch with my telus plan, but anytime I tried to connect through the wearable app i get the error that the mobile service for this watch not available in this region.
I did some searching, and I found that I can do the region change through SDB, I was able to successfully connect to the watch but I only get the USA providers options (XAR, ATT..) no other regions networks.
Is there anyway I could have this watch to work on the Canadian LTE, even by flashing the watch or other ways to change the region?

Try to look into other Thread/s)...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/samsung-galaxy-watch-geo-locked-t4035549
You are NOT alone.
Working solution:
Sell your US device
Buy Canadian Version...
Sorry, NO joke.
This is easiest solution without wasting time...
Only if your are good in GSM Hacking... Reversing stuff...
Feel free to deliver your own solution.
Good Luck.
Best Regards

There is away to change the firmware through Net-Odin, which could be able to unlock the region, but I am not sure what Firmware to use or where to download?

Again.
Feel free to find your own solution.
Maybe you are trying hard enough or by luck...
But IMHO I am not total idiot...
Sometimes.
You are not the first and will be not the last...

Info for you...
Here is SM-R805W this is IMHO Canadian Version...
https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=36102
Here is US device Firmware for SM-R805U:
https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=35613
From U like US IMHO somewehre free download... I can NOT remember for W like Cannada.
Simple Homework for you...
Unpack with Tool 7Zip the CSC...csc.img... then look with open eyes.
If you look correct, you will find Scripts for Preconfig...
These Files have nothing to do with the eSIM "Magic"...
IMHO the magic is minimum in CP part... Modem and/or on device...
I am from Germany.
I have not US nor Cannadian nor any European LTE Version...
So I can not do my own studies...
Nobody dump data...
Nobody log data...
Nobody share something...
Nor somebody do some Reversing Modem related...
For GWA2 some interesting files leaked... Modem related...
Good luck.
Please inform us if you have solution. :victory:

Maybe somebody find free SM-R805W or SM-R15W Firmware... for study...

This is great thank you for the help, I will give the firmware in the second edit a try, hopefully it does not brick the watch!!

NO. Not flash!
You will 10000% create problem... because you have SM-R805U
Please learn... try to read other posts ... threads.
Study... Research...
SM-R805U US USA NOT Cannada is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/firmware-r805u-t3936826
Maybe start with Lesson 1.
Download and unpack with 7Zip Tool.
Best Regards

thanks, I was able to update the firmware with the one in the link below. I did not have the UI update before but now it updates. Unfortunately the carrier list still did not change, I hope there is away I could change the region of the watch
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sma...r805u-t3936826

Meanwhile "we" have Stock Firmware for SM-R815W...
I could share...
Meanwhile I saw this:

Hey, so you never tried the firmware in the link? I actually have a 805W and I want to try flashing a different firmware to see if I can force an update. I'm on 4.0.0.0 on my 805W and can't get it to update to newer Tizen.

Hey adfree, I downloaded the 805W (I have this model) and extacted the tar, renamed the csc img to zip and extracted that (with some warnings).
Inside, there is a SW_Configuration.xml, but it only says
Code:
<CSCName>R805FAC</CSCName>
<CSCVersion>1ASA1</CSCVersion>
which is clearly not 805W. Is there another file I'm supposed to look at to see the actual CSC code?
Thanks
