Hey guys,

kyrillos13 said:
If you have OXX csc in your firmware (most of central-eastern Europe does; you can check by typing *#1234# and looking at the CSC - I8160OXXxxx), feel free to flash it on top with Odin, it will not wipe your data.

Um well, thanks for the reply, but i might have considered that particular method if i wasnt schooling right now. Besides, i dont fancy installing a linux distro on my laptop anytime soon. So.. Any other less time consuming or simpler ways to go about it?

Hey, I am not 100% sure but I think that it would change your CSC, meaning you would no longer have Samsung Kies support. I think that is about it, BUT I may be wrong. Perhaps if you post in kyrillos13's guide, he might be able to help, or at least give his opinion! Good luck!

First, if you are rooted now, grab your CSC files. If you have Cygwin this would have been easier..
Then you can flash prerooted firmware using Odin. (Just download the ones on the thread, its lost in the pages)
Then, after flashing, if you want to flash a deodexed ROM, place the CSc files inside the ROM's zip. And you won't lose your CSC.

But im not rooted yet.... ;(

GT-I8160 DXMA1 XSP prerooted
After download extract files then open Odin and select system_rooted.tar.md5 as PDA, and csc.tar as csc.
Check: Auto reboot and F. Reset Time.
Now hit Start..

Pit 803

Anyone mind giving me a link to downloading only the 803.pit file?
I have seen it on the forums, but then its only downloadable with another firmware, my internet data bundle won't last if I download that too!
Thanks in advance!!
here it is!

First time I'm flashing my i9000, so just making sure I'm following everything step by step!
Then surely you shouldn't be using a PIT at all?

Froyo isn't available through Kies yet in SA, only in the next week or two
So I've decided to skip the wait and flash with the latest I9000XWJPA firmware, apparently the 803.pit is required, as well as re-partition with the 512.pit with the I9000XWJM8 firmware. Perhaps I'm making a mistake, terribly new to Android
For reference all PIT files and most known firmwares are available from www.samfirmware.com.
Ah, PIT files are only partition information templates for Odin to move the sizes of the internal device partitions around. Everyone should just be using the 512 PIT now as the others were just development hacks. You will already have the 512 layout so there's no reason to even load it into Odin, always just let it flash without repartitioning.
But if you're not sure, then follow the samfirmware instructions, it's making you use the 512 PIT anyway, the 803 being loaded into Odin but repartition not being ticked does nothing.

You don't need a pit or I9000XWJM8, what you need is to flash directly CODE as PDA, MODEM as PHONE and CSC as CSC...no repartition.
If you must re-partition then use 512.pit and these files from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8911755&postcount=83
You need the first download and only one of the three CSC files(I recommend XEE).
Extract once using 7-zip, then load the files as I wrote earlier and PIT as 512.pt and check Re-partition.

You can try to download default samsung firmware from sammobile and use Odin to install the firmware. For me it works.

thanks for your replies mates!!
I do not understand what is the difference of the files that I flash with factory oxa the samsung firmware.
I understand that the firmware in samfirmware there is only one file within a zip to put in pda only and oxa factory has 5 it is mentioned in the first post to leave the factory.
or you mean that first flash of a file and then the oxa factory?
thank you very much:laugh:

How to install a G925F(BTU) ROM on the G925T - (DEBRANDING)

The main reason I'm making this is because I spent about 4 hours looking for a way to debrand my G925T that didn't involve all the customization of a custom rom. I use my phone for AT&T so a lot of the tmobile stuff is useless to me. Also something that really annoyed me was that this subject has been mentioned on the forums but was always met with people saying it wasn't possible or that it would be better not to, or just in general very unhelpful responses. Anyways, on to the tutorial.
WARNING: This tutorial is for 6.0.1, if you use the files here, your device will be upgraded. If you do not want 6.0.1 then you need to find different bootloaders and firmwares.
First thing you'll need is a bootloader and modem file for YOUR device. Heres the ones for G925T 6.0.1: EPD1 bootloader and modem. Flash them with odin.
Next, you'll need a kernel and recovery. If you want to use stock then keep reading. If you want to use a custom one then I recommend flashing them now. Saves time later.
Next thing you'll need is the BTU firmware that you want to use. To find one, just go to sammobile and look up the G925F and look for a firmware for just a country, no carrier.
Here is the one I used, its the UK BTU firmware for 6.0.1: DPBG. (Don't worry about the pit file)
After its downloaded, extract the AP file somewhere, then open it with winrar or a similar program. extract the parts you need:
kernel: boot.img
recovery: recovery.img
rom: system.img
for a factory reset you can include the userdata.img as well if you want.
(Note: if your flashing all of these, ignore the rest and just flash the AP file).
Once you have all of that, download these scripts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
Now take the files you extracted and put them in the same folder as the scripts, then run the ImgToTar.MD5 batch file. It should do the rest of the work for you, just wait for it to finish making your tar.md5. When its done, just flash it with odin and you should be good to go with a completely debranded rom
if u can share link for the final file it will help me alot

Waiting for your experience...
OP, you say if you are flashing all, just flash the AP. Do I still need the script then? Or you mean, I can flash the AP within Odin itself
"After its downloaded, extract the AP file somewhere, then open it with winrar or a similar program. extract the parts you need:
kernel: boot.img
recovery: recovery.img

well, i try with S6 Edge Tmobile, but when i want to flash the third file (system.tar.md5) didnt responde in the flashing, i will try to do md5 files again
---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------
i found the problem, when you convert to TAR archive (with the script that is in this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3596893&d=1451769888) you need to check the size of the archives (in my case system size was 1.5gb in TAR file, and in IMG file is 3.5gb, thats why in my phone brick) .
i do it for each file the script (i use the 3 files : SYSTEM, RECOVERY and BOOT) and im waiting the restart of my phone. i will write if my s6 edge Tmobile convert to s6 edge International
not working on s6 tmobile g925t says system check version failed
---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------
the bootloder which u given is not accepting because bl security is 4 any method to unlock bootloder or combination works any idea
okay so question. If I do this. WIll I be able to install roms for the g925f on my g925t??
Do we have any confirmation of this working? for g925t or did it still continue to fail?
Sir can you provide the working rom link

You have to download the stock firmware, I use samfirm.js you can use other tools though, when you donwload it, you should see 5 MD5 files, you need only 4 of them, the AP, BL, CP and CSC files. Flash them according to their name using odin.

How to change CSC back to original if you are not able to

So i have a S20Fe exynos and me being impatient installed oneui4 SER version on device thinking that will see whatever happens. I am also developer of Clean OS rom for s20fe so i tried using my csc feature script and it worked flawlessly in SER csc but I thought of coming back to oneui3 so I installed it back using my default INR regiom firmware of November although it installed fine in ODIN when i tried to install my csc feature it showed my csc is SER and didnt installed. My fear of csc getting stuck got true i tried refreshing again but SER came. Then i remembered what I used to do in S3 days to fully clean install firmware in my device and thought of doing so
Steps for the process are
Open csc files of your firmware and extract the .pit file from it
Open odin and load all your respective files in the slots
Go to pit option tab and select the .pit file you extracted
Now go to options and unselct auto reboot and select nand erase
Start the flashing process.
This process fully wipe your nand of your device
After this I got my default csc back to inr and all my functions are working properly including my csc features.
This method was personally test by me but i cant give guarantee that i will 100 % work for you but what is the harm in tryinf it out.
I have g7810(chinese verison) of S20FE 5g.I want to change the csc..If i change it to other region will i be able to lock my bootloader with that and get regular update just as normal?
