Hi, I'm from Asia bought a export set of the note2 n7100. I just got to know that this unit is a Middle East unit with Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Iraq etc... is it ever possible to change the baseband and the CSC code to Asia?
I also noticed that the 4.1.2 software is not out for my unit, therefore I was wondering if I can change to CSC code to an Asia CSC code.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
try this: open phone dialer, dial: *#272* your phone Imei number and finish with #
Now you should see many CSC codes for different countries
choose one that you want and save
remember, once you press "save" device will factory reset. So back up your data.
There is also app in the market for this, but it pretty much does what I just explained above.
Back up your data first!!!

I tried *#272*imei# but doesn't seem to have any reaction. I downloaded the CSC Select but I can only choose the middle east countries...
This code won't work on note2
Why you not downloading full rom from region you like and flash using odin

hi, thanks for ur reply. flashing it with odin did came across my mind. but I was just wondering if the baseband will cause any problems. I also did wonder if I were to update using odin to another firmware, say I choose malaysia. nrxt time must I do the update via odin again? or can I use OTA?
thanks for ur advise
there won't be any issue using other country ROM.
If you flash malaysia ROM, you will get update OTA when there is update for malaysia.

cool!
do I need to backup my baseband imei etc?
I recommend only EFS backup and keep on ext Sd as well a copy on PC too
if you want to backup everything ROM including baseband you can make nandroid backup.

Hi Dr Ketan,
My phone is unrooted, can you advise what is the most safest way to backup the phone? Nandroid backup seem to require root access.
without root you won't have much option to backup
still you can use 'My backup Non root' or other similar to backup
-Contact (stock appl itself have option to backup, as well google sync)
-SMS
-Applications (without data, like credential,game level etc, you can just backup apk)

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I'm more concern about EFS backup. I've rooted my HTC HD2 before and restoring the phone was simple. But for n7100, I am afraid it's not as simple as it is.
you needs root to backup EFS
root is just 10 min procedure, and there is no risk if you follow instruction to ther letter

Hi, If I use titanium backup will it be enough?
I would presume that if I would to do nandroid backup I will need to use the "Root with ExynosAbuse apk" ?
At the moment I'm running JB 4.1.1 but I wish to update it to another countries ROM.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Titanium can't backup efs, it can just backup applications with data
For nandroid backup you need cwm (method 2in my guide)

my advice is stop experimenting now. because u screwed up ur phone. now u need to restore your efs if u had backed it up during rom flashing. if not u must reflash stock rom via odin. guides are available for both cases, read carefully and follow. ur phone will be fine. donot panic.

You will need to scroll down to rescue firmware use the first rom for united kingdom and you will need to use odin with pit. This will wipe your sd card aswell so back it up to your pc. Also make sure you have an intact efs backup before doing anything. DO NOT RUSH OR PANIC and read the instructions carefully and remember you need to use rescue firmware with pit file.
Hope this helps..

I flashed it with Uk stock rom from sammobile and it did not come with pit file.
The point is it was disconnected accidentally while flashing. So, flashed again
with HK stock rom.
Did you try to flash 4.1.2 over 4.2.2 by any chance? They moved the sdcard files to data/media/0 instead of data/media in 4.2.2.
Anyways to best way to fix this is to back up ur sd card to computer and Odin flash the original ROM that came with your device. (LTE hong kong version)

I did but it can not be fixed. It seemed to be lost something.
Flashing 4.1.2 over 4.2.2 is generally not a good idea. It will work if you first copy your sd card to the proper place before you flash a rom. For 4.2.2 it needs to be in data/media/0 folder. For 4.1.2 it needs to be data/media. It is possible to do this with a file manager with root access.
Odin will wipe your internal storage this is normal. The data/media/0 folder is not suppose to exist for 4.1.2 so it doesn't know how to deal with it. You need to format it back to 4.1.2 standards. As far as calls not working you probably need to make sure you have the right settings for calls and data to work. Odin should reflash the modem unless something went wrong during flash.
You should be careful when flashing things with Odin. Odin has total access to your device. Especially since HK ROMs are very different from the ones from UK. Make sure you got the correct .tar.md5 for your device. Check this list: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N5120 This is for N5120.
Good Luck. Worse comes to worse you may needs to triangle away and send to samsung.
Do you still get IMEI in place? If not, the call function would not work. Are you in HK or UK?
As suggested by nickdollahz, you need to copy out all the important files from "root" directory. Then, factory reset and flash again. Please note that factory reset will delete all your data.
For your reference, I'm in HK and has flashed the UK 4.2.2 rom previously (now the Germany one). I retain the original modem file of HK since I'm not sure if the modem of UK is compatible with HK's.

In the dialer, type *#06#, or in setting->about device->status->IMEI, it will display the IMEI no. Is it the same as that in the box?

Before you flashed to 4.2.2 UK rom, what is your HK rom version? It should be N5120ZHBMD7, N5120ZHBME1 or N5120ZHBMG3.
Which version of 4.2.2 UK rom did you flash? And which HK rom version did you flash again?
Do you have EFS backup? If so, when did you back it up?

There may be two possible cases:
1) The EFS is corrupted. If this is the case, since you do not have backup, what you can do is to reset flash counter, factory reset and bring it back to Samsung service center.
2) the EFS is not corrupted and is simply a compatibility issue. I read from i9300 forum that Samsung has changed the format of EFS since July. However, I'm not sure if this is the case for n5120. You may consider to flash the UK rom again and see if the IMEI comes back.
You may try (2) and if bad luck, you can flash back to HK rom and do (1) above.
Good luck!

Is there a way to remove everything Vodafone related from the phone after i install it? Will my MEO sim card still work?

To backup your appdata, text messages, contacts, mobile data statistics,.. use Titanium Backup. Dont you sync your contacts with Google? But since your are simply upgrading an official firmware a backup shouldnt be necessary. ´But to be safe make a backup
A Full backup is done by flashing a custom recovery. Look for the thread here in the forum, where this procedure is explained.
If the new firmware will work with your simcard, I dont know since I'm from Europe where the firmwares are universal. For this case you have a full backup to restore if wont work.
To remove bloatware, again, use Titanium Backup.
And yes you have to root again.

Since I am in the same boat is there anywhere a procedure on how to do upgrade. Mine is also rooted and has 4.2.2. Not sure about CW or anything else. Guess I can do upgrade by loading firmware on flash card then power the device off and press volume down + home + power for a while? Once in download mode just point to file and let it go?

[KitKat OTA update but SG4 Rooted] trying to enable OTA with "TriangleAway" method
Hello everyone,
I'm posting today because I need some help like many others .
Here is my situation I bought a SG4 mini a year ago the GT-I9195 version (Europe France to be more accurate).
I rooted it because I needed to using the XDA method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
I did not change the ROM so I'm technically still on the official 4.2.2 rom : JDQ39.I9195XXUAMG8 (see attachment "1.png")
I did however install the "CWM-Based Recovery v6.0.3.7 " boot system to have advanced boot features.
The OTA Kit Kat is now available in my country, I was hoping to do it using the OTA update directly from the phone, unfortunatly I receive the error message "your device has been modified software updates are not available" (see attachment "2.png").
My goal is to update to android Kit-Kat without having to re-format completely my phone to factory settings, and just trick the phone to make it think it's not "modified".
After doing some research I found an application that does this "Triangle Away : " http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/2014-01-15-triangleaway-v3-26-t1494114
So after running it I discovered that the status of my phone was "Binary = Custom" and "System=Modified" (see attachment "3.png")
So I managed to reset the status of Binary and System to "Official" using triangle away (see attachment "4.png").
But when I try to do the OTA update I still get the "your device has been modified software updates are not available" message .
And when I go into phone status the "Device Status" phone says it's "Custom" even-though it says official in the triangle away app" (see attachment "5.png")
Can someone please help me figure this out ?
Thank you XDADEV and all the members for this great community, that has helped me so many times over the years !

TriangleAway is not supporting our device.
But anyway: I would suggest either updating with Kies or with Odin (if the Kitkat Firmware for your CSC is available at Sammobile.com).

But this imply that I will need to format the system completely
No, you don't!
You only need to root it again afterwards (with Towelroot - in case it still works - or using other methods like the Rootkit).
Thank you for that info i'm going to try it this afternoon.
I'm downloading the lastest firmware right now (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=35387 ), is there any tutorial around for upgrading using Kies ?

Lol I forgot about it I guess I can use it to backup and restore everything I never use it like that before.
Thank you for the tip I'll look how to backup everything first and restore it after.
But I'll need to be root to restore after I guess ?

But I'll need to be root to restore after I guess ?
I don't have the "pro version"

Yes your phone has to be rootet to restore your backups, but it's really worth it to buy the pro version.
If you're updating to KitKat, you will loose everything with Odin.
I suggest that you backup everything with TB and after upgrading, do not restore everything! You will have errors because upgrading from JB to KK. So, you should install everything as it was from Google Play, then restore the data of the app to avoid problems.
Good Luck!
Press THANKS if I helped!

Thank you for the advice I'm actually thinking of upgrading tonight I was busy this week-end.
I hope Kit-Kat is really worth it....
My jellybean ROM is getting more and more unstable...

There's isn't much of a 'visible' upgrade from JB to KK, but there are 'behind the scenes' updates, which are very good.

I use the one attached. Been using it for more than a year.
Open it, press PDA, and insert the .tar.md5 file you downloaded. Be sure your phone is read and is in Download Mode and start. It will take 9:30mins to complete the process (sometimes more, sometimes less) and some more minutes to completely boot up.
Good Luck.

You should always always backup every partition. Especially efs.
Anyhow, what service are you trying to use? GSM or CDMA?
If your using it with GSM, and If this phone is truly a sprint phone, it probably got sim locked when he fixed it. I ain't no expert but it probably needs unlocked if this is the case.
Edit: I just understood what you wrote, that he already unlocked it. Sorry for misunderstanding.
But if your using it with sprint, maybe it just needs activation updated. I don't use sprint or CDMA so I don't know a lot about that.
But main thing you need to do before anything else. Is make a full back up of your partitions. I always make backup in two.( Which is mainly all you need)
But also there are programs that (I can't remember there names,) make backups of all your hidden partitions, just in case.
I understand I didn't provide you with a definite answer to your problem but hope it can help.

Can to send me a copy of your build.prop
Edit. Are you using sprint stock ROM? What version? Are you sure it's unlocked? If yes, I might be able to help. But I have to gather some info. And get to my PC. Cause I'm testing a ROM right now and am lagging
I have faced the same problem and, managed to solve it. Here is the solution..
1. Download any kk or lp firmware of n910p. Extract the .tar file, get the ' modem.bin' and flash it using Odin. Do it twice, yes, twice. Before flashing the modem, make sure you have unchecked 'auto boot' option in Odin. To turn off the phone after the first flesh, just take off the battery.
2. Download twrp 3.0.1.0 for n910f. Yes.. TWRP recovery for N910F ( or the model specified under the battery). Flash it using Odin.
3. Download any stock based custom ROM which is based on the modem you have flashed. For example, BOB7, COG5 , COK1( these are the last 4 characters of the stock firmware/modem)
4. Flash the custom ROM using twrp, flash gasps, and smile.
If you face bootloop, just try different kernel. I'm using BOB7 modem, emotion kernel, vision x custom ROM.

yes i am sure phone is unlocked through Domestic Unlock ( z3x & octoplus Boxes)
also i am on Stock 5.1.1 lollipop
I think the only way u can help me is by sharing a good QCN and EFS for N910P ! (if the above solution from our friend doesnt work 4 me )
Also i am from another country so there is no harm for you if u share it with me in private.
Thanks in Advance !
