So my signal wouldn't work so I went to SamMobile and downloaded the UK BTU stock ROM. I wiped the rom used triangle away to reset flash counter and installed the stock ROM. The status was 'Normal'. I then sent it to Samsung for a repair.
I received the phone back yesterday, samsung have refused to repair it as it has custom firmware, I have again installed the UK BTU firmware (old versions too) and it seems to be installing a Ukrainian stock ROM, no matter which website I download it from.
The signal is now working but I still cannot find the actual UK BTU (or UK T-Mobile) stock ROM.
Also, when I received the phone back from samsung the auto-rotate feature no longer works (Android Sensor Box shows it not working at all) and I cannot say this to Samsung as they will obviously think i'm making it up.
Anyway, can anyone help ?
Thanks

I have tried that link and getting an incorrect ROM. First of all the language is Ukranian (I believe) even though it is listed as United Kingdom BTU. The flash counter goes back to 1 at every boot even though I am not rooted and Kies refuses to install firmware.
My IMEI displays fine.
open kies - tools - firmware upgrade and initialization
You need to enter S/N , you can find in device setting / back of device under battery.

Hi,
Do you have the n7105 LTE model?
T-Mobile UK is now known as Everything Everywhere.
The ROMs show on SamMobile as "United Kingdom (EE)" and have EVR as the CSC
like: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/197072816/008698a/N7105XXDMB2_N7105EVRDMA2_EVR.zip.html

It is definitely N7100, it's with T-Mobile (EE) but not on their "4gee" plan. The stock firmware is BTU.
Here is the details i'm shown after entering my S/N:

I fixed it myself by checking "Phone" instead of "PDA" in Odin. This also fixed the orientation problem.
Thanks anyway.

maybe this is asked before but someone have link for this? Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE (GT-N7105) official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
i have GSM version ( T-mobile Netherlands) someone got it fixed already or at least link for working GSM version. i found a link to "Nordic version"
but i dont no if this is good one...
help please.. and sorry for my bad English language.
Sammobile puts all firmwares Samsung releases up on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
If it's not there Samsung probably hasn't made one for your region.
Other regions version works most of the time, but you will probably have problems getting support if you bought the phone in Netherlands, but has NEE firmware... And if your phone is locked to T-Mobile you might also have problems.

I have updated it using Odin 3.07 with N7105XXUEMK5 and root with Odin 1.85 using CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-t0ltexx-gtn7105.tar.md5
SuperSU, Titanium Backup, Andromizer works.
I need help though. All apps that help mount USB Drives (Stick Mount, USB OTG Helper and Paragon) because its NTFS formatted will trigger a "Security Notice" "Unauthorized access to a secured area was blocked" with a Shield icon in the notification.
It seems like a security block. Any idea on how to work around this? I did not install Knox. Not sure what the Shield icon is.
Once it's triggered, the app/action taken will not be allowed.
HELP!
Looks like i have no NEE version and i am not locked on t-mobile

I think you have to connect your phone to your PC and open Kies to check what version you have.
I have OmniROM 4.4 on my phone, so I can't double check that.
Found a few screenshots on Kies.
Looks like version XEU here http://images.anandtech.com/doci/4686/Kies1.PNG

What's not available there? Kies or the ROM?
As far as I know you can download Kies from anywhere.
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/#downloadWindows
You can't downgrade with it, but it will tell you what region you are in. Just download Kies, connect your phone with a USB cable and look under Firmware info to see what region your phone is from.
Then you can download the latest available version from Sammobile. If you don't see 4.3 there for your region then Samsung has not made it available for you yet.
Kies is available not the new firmware
Look at the screenshot that i toke 1 hour ago

Hello,
I have a Samsung S4 mini duos. I am not sure where it was purchased, probably UK or DE.
I updated it to stock 4.4.2 from sammobile. Tried several firmwares, but WiFi was not working. These are not working: Sri lanka, Russia, New zealand. The only one I managed to support Wifi was this Panama ROM:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/40033/I9192UBUCNG2_I9192UUBCNG2_TPA.zip/
I have also used CSC to set it to SEB (baltics).
Now everything is working fine more or less (battery life is bad on 3G, good on 2G), however I am unable to get mobile signature working. It was working fine on stock rooted 4.2.2. The card is inserted to SIM2, it is working properly: sending messages, calling, receiving calls. However, whenever I try to use mobile signature, I am asked by SMS toolkit (I guess) to check my data. When I click OK, it says ERROR DF 19 00.
My operator says this error is related to phone's software (I have tried it on other phone and it works). Anyone knows what is happening and how do I fix this?
Also are there any other stock roms available, closer to baltic states or UK/DE at least? Maybe Panama has some weird GSM settings.
And why does WiFi not work with other roms, like Russian?
Current version information is attached bellow.

Hi dude i pass for the same problem and the only you have to do is reflash the rom throu odin, for example i flash once the russian one and i did not have wifi working the first time, so i reflash it again and "voila" wifi start working,
look you can flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/s5-s4-mini-t2987500 via recovery and see if its work for you, use philz recovery to flash it, and in the installation process there will be a part where your select you CSC, and of course this rom have a very good battery improves Gl mate!
Flash rusian firmware until the baseband change
Power off phone using power key a menu
Restart in Odin mode using combo keys power home vol down
Flash firmware in ap
Let it boot and check if has changed
it is strange, but shutting down before flashing actually helped right away.
So now I am running stock russian (EN menu) firmware, however mobile signature is still not working.
Anyone familiar with SIM toolkit errors? Error DF 02 00 or DF 19 00.
Is there a log somewhere?
Hey there,
I have got the S9 with an Austrian Provider Firmware. Although the device is unlocked for any Carrier, it seems to me that my Provider is getting out Firmware Updates very slow.
So I have been thinking about flashing my device to an open Firmware to receive Firmware Updates faster. Will I get any disadvantages, eg. no VoLTE or anything else?
What do you mean with "open Firmware"?
I guess, flash an other ROM?
If you put a custom ROM on the device, you will NOT receive any ROM Updates from Samsung - because it's customized.
Some ROMs has a updater, to receive updates if there is some available of the "provider of the ROM".
Some ROMs work well, others has still some bugs, depends on the ROM (see Buglist at every thread).
But you can customize it by yourself! increase batterylifetime, design, get rid of the bloatware,....
First you have to install a custom recovery, with this you loose warranty, and KNOX.
Every other function depends on the ROM.
But i bought my S9 from Amazon and still receive no updates.... (no branding of 3 in Austria).

Yes, I want to Flash to a non-Provider locked ROM.
Well, there has to be International ROMs - like when you purchase the S9 directly via the Samsung Website with no Provider involved.
Is there a way to flash those kind of ROMs?

Hello Guys,
I have SM-G986U Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G Snapdragon. I had Android 10 and I did not receive any update of Android 11, so I tried flashing it to Android 11 One UI 3.0 my self.
I couldnt correctly figure out what my CSC was, but my phone was of US origin and unbranded unlocked. So i downloaded stock ROM for G986U1 - XAA (CSC) - Android 11 https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G986U1/XAA/G986U1UES1CTL5 ( i read in a thread that G986U can be flashed with G986U1)
First i had problem flashing it with Odin 3.13.1, which did not work. Then i read somewhere i should try patched version. So i tried Odin 3.13 (patched), Odin 3.14, Odin 3.14.1 (patched).
It started flashing with Odin 3.14.1 patched, but after started i stucked on flashing "super.img" and then it softbricked. I tried FRP Hijacker to try recovering, but it said "re-download official super.img".
Then i tried some other firmwares. I tried
1. G986U1 - XAA (CSC) - Android 11
2. G986U1 - XAA (CSC) - Android 10
3. G986U - TMB (CSC) - Android 10 (because I had exactly same AP version and CSC version in my phone when it was working, i checked that with *#1234#. AP VERSION 986USQU1ATAW , CSC VERSION G986UOYN1ATAW)
4. G986U - SPR (CSC) - Android 11 (Because when i went to download mode for the first time, i saw at the left top of my screen something like Carrier_id = SPR. So i have tried this as well)
It stucks here:

I have run out of options now, need help. Please let me know what should i try to fix my phone. The only screen i come to now is "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software"
I tried using Smart Switch Emergency Recovery as well, it doesn't show my phone in the list where i should select. It looks like a connection problem with Smart Switch.
I have tried everything i could. I dont know if i am trying the wrong firmwares or something wrong with the Odin. I NEED HELP TO RESTORE MY DEVICE. PLEASE.
EDIT:
I have now explored Samsung has disabled this feature in Smart Switch, i even tried older version which had this feature Smart Switch 4.0 and 4.1, it had device initialization option, where i was able to search the model and enter S/N but then it just closes.
So the hopes are down with Smart Switch.Looks like only way out is Odin, but don't what i am mistaking. Is it the right firmware selection or need some trick with the Odin.
Thank God, it is fixed now. I couldnt understand a lot. I figured my CSC was "OYN" and it is Multi CSC phone unbranded phone. I tried again to flash with G986U - TMB (CSC) - Android 10 (which had AP VERSION 986USQU1ATAW , CSC VERSION G986UOYN1ATAW ). It stuck again on flashing prism.img. So i tried again dropping the CSC file and flashed AP, BL and CP files. Which worked but my phone was still not starting since it was missing the Prism.img.
So i then tried flashing the CSC file with the other firmware version which i previously downloaded for "XAA (CSC)" which is also for unbranded USA. And it worked. The phone started working back now. Though in updates section it now says "Your current software version isnt supported". But the phone works fine so far.

Thank you!
May i ask how do you unlock the bootloader?
I just saw online that India Market got the new update (F936BXXU1AVIH) with September security patch.
So my question is, as i have an european model with the same model number (F936B), what is the risk if i flash this firmware ? As i know that it's not gonna change my 4G/5G bands anyway, so i'm guessing maybe an OTA issue after flashing this firmware (like not receiving them as i don't live in India).
Sorry if it's a stupid question :-/
No risk, CSC HOME and all good. I do it.
Ok, thanks for your reply
And what about future OTA updates ? Will it still be working ?
Yes.
Yesterday I installed the Indian version on my European version Fold 4, there is no problem except that it does not pass the Safetypass and I cannot make contactless payments.
No Root, no OEM unloock, just ODIN upgrade (firm from Sammobile).

I confirm that i can no longer make contactless payments as well, but i never used it anyway so not a big deal for me... i hope that there will be no others bad compatibilities like this one.
Will update on a newer European firmware later or just flash the AVIH European firmware when it'll be released

It's very strange that the India version does not pass Safetynet's CTS checks. I also used the Home_CSC, I had never had a similar problem. I will wait to try with another region when it comes out.
Same here....Some week ago I bought a Z Fold 4 with EUX CSC and immediately changed CSC to INS using SamFW ver 2.1, Wallet worked like a charm until latest security update installed some days ago...Now, reverting CSC to EUX, does not solve the problem...

So you're saying that you reverted back to the last Eurpoean Firmware and that you can't still use GPay ? Or you just tried to changed the CSC without flashing European firmware ?
