[Q] Soft Bricked Note 2

Hello,
First of all treat me as a noob, as I am kinda one
I have a Galaxy note II, which I changed the Kernell so it would assume the SD card as internal memory, sd card broke down.
I came out with a malfunctioning phone that doesn't boot.
Trying to solve it, I tried to flash the stock firmware and kernell, but it didn't work, probably I chose the wrong one.
Can somebody tell which one do I need to flash and where to find it?
Model: GT- N7100
I bought my phone in Spain and the network provider was vodafone, just in case you need to know it
If you need any other details just ask,
Ty in advance.

Hey!
I've done that and still doesn't work, I think I am not choosing the right firmware to download, how exactly can I identify it?
Thanks in advance,

check under device info., but you should hhave international n7100, so you can flash eu roms.
There should be one for your country.

Problems in LTE activation (different regions)

Hello friends,
I'm from Brazil and I bought a LTE Galaxy Watch in Germany, exactly the same version (Sm-R805F) used in Brazil. However when I went to my mobile company to activate the e-sim it was not possible. When the system ask to read a QR code, in the mobile networks' activation process, a message of error appears ("It's not possible to conect this mobile"). Does anyone know why and how to fix it?

Can you check this Code...
Code:
*#1234#
Seems DIFFERENT Software crap exists... so different Profiles...
Code:
OXX
OXA
Check your CSC ...
OXA could be inside German Version... and OXX is maybe for Brazil...
Best Regards

Thank you very much!
I did it and the CSC is OXA (German version).
How can I change it to OXX?
PS: I did as they recomended here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/guide-how-to-change-gear-s3-r760-csc-t3784226 ) but theres no Brazilian code nor OXX.

OXX and OXA are """group"""
OXA contains minimum DBT CSC... for Germany
You can NOT change from OXA to OXX... because the config files not inside...
Your Link shows only way to change existing CSC inside flashed CSC file...
Example...
I have Firmware files... from OXX region...
Code:
CSC_[B]OXX[/B]_R805FOXX1BRI4_usr.tar.md5
You can unpack and extract with 7Zip... csc.img file.
Folder preconfig have 8 folderS with 7 CSC... DEF means Default IMHO...
Code:
BRI
TGY
VAU
XNZ
XSA
XSG
XSP
XSP is Singapore...
For the others I am tooo lazy... forgotten... use Google...
I have NO idea if it is an good idea to try to flash with netOdin such CSC files... or complete Firmware of OXX region.
Samsungs funny Security...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
I have tried to identify Brzil via Google search...
For me it looks no CSC inside for Brazil...
I have NO idea if SM-R805F is for Brazil market...
Edit 2.
Okidoki... Google search leads to this:
https://www.samsung.com/br/support/model/SM-R805FZSAZVV/
So looks like exists for Brazil... and you can see Sales Code ZVV it is in Product Code...
Code:
SM-R805FZSA[B]ZVV[/B]
IMHO 3 region groups... OXX OXA and ?
Firmware for Brazil seems not leaked... with ZVV inside...
Edit 3.
Firmware for SM-R805F for Brazil looks like this:
Code:
R805FXXU1CRK7/R805F[B]OWO[/B]1CRK7/R805FXXU1CRK7
So OWO is Region Code... for Brazil...
IMHO OWO package have ZVV Sales Code/CSC inside... for Brazil.
Edit 4.
My fault...
Code:
R805FXXU1DSC7_Tizen_4File_Multi CSC ([B]OWO[/B]).rar
Leaked and available...
But still no idea if this helps you... because dangerous to flash... Sams..g Security could prevent success...

I've been reading the post, but I'm a little lost. I do not know what to do. I have a R815 Vodafone Germany version, and I want to activate it for movistar Spain, but I receive the error "It's not possible to conect this mobile". The data of my watch are the following:
AP: R815FXXU1ARH5
CP: R815FXXU1ARH5
CSC: R815FOXA1ARH5
With the SDB utility I have accessed a hidden menu on the watch and I changed the original CSC VD2 to XEC, or at least I thought so ... I think VD2 is Vodafone Germany, and XEC is Movistar Spain (the company that I have on my mobile phone). Samsung Pay works, but LTE is impossible to configure ("It's not possible to conect this mobile")
It is possible to get a different firmware and flash it?... or how can I get to configure an esim (lte) from movistar españa?

Hey guys, I was reading this post and I have a problem a little different of you.
I bought a Galaxy Watch from The USA, LTE version (R805U) but I live in Brazil, I went to the phone company (VIVO) to try able the LTE (eSim) function but they said to me that it is impossible because only the R805F works here. My question is. Can I change the firmeware from 805U to 805F and it will works LTE here ?

Is not to you to do'it...
You need to call the operatório, in this case, Movistar and subscribe for the service and they activate the eSim...

Hi had same problem
Hello mate
I bought Samsung Galaxy watch when I was on holidays in Greece as in UK the LTE version was only with contract on EE. As I'm using Vodafone UK, I got the Qr Code for the esim but Samsung neither Vodafone could help me to make it work. Finally I make It work but my self, because my Samsung Galaxy watch is from Greek region I try to activate my Vodafone uk esim with a Greek sim network in my mobile device and it's worked perfectly, even when I put back my Vodafone uk sin on my mobile.
Hope that helps you.

You have to choose the correct ROM first. So if your phone is SM-A505F you need that ROM. Not recommended to use other ROMs like SM-A505 FN, G etc.
Once you have the correct ROM (must be newer than your current) use Odin 3.13 or newer to flash your phone . before flashing do back up and then remove all accounts!!! Then remove your SIM and memocard and do hard reset. Connect to Odin in download mode and flash. Wait till its completely finished and boot up your phone. 1st boot can take up to 10 minutes, once you see the Start screen insert the SIM card from desired region and let the phone restart again.
My phone for some reason picked up CAC product code (Uzbekistan). Flashed latest ROM inserted my Vodafone SIM and after restart my phone was on BTU (UK unbranded).

is flashing different CSC ROM will trip Knox

I my case this method for FN version did not worked any different way to do it?

No it wont trip knox as long as you are flashing official samsung firmware.

OK I investigate a bit today
looks like I was able to change CSC from ROM to FTM (Freanch Orange) using brand Orange from Poland (OPV) - all was done with JUN patch the same patch level files
I would like to change from ROM to XEO (Poland unbranded) and for this I did not found any way to work

I think that it's somehow let you change the CSC only one time... I recalling that I was able to do it on my A50 and A70 but only one time...

in my case it is more like I can change to branded CSC like orange or T-Mobile ( did this few time) but it not give me Poland as a country
I cannot change to unbranded CSC like XEO - it always show ROM as active CSC (softwanre CSC it is showing XEO) but for example news I have from Romania

typically it will remain as whatever sim you have in the phone.. there are tricks u can do.. id search some more as theres many csc related threads.. also make sure that csc u want is actually included on the device already since if it doesnt exist then well you cant use it until u get the right csc..

You didn't say what region you want. In my case I was after UK (BTU) or Germany (DBT).
Do hard reset (sim and memory card remove). Turn on phone without sim and wait until it says No sim inserted. Insert the sim from region or country you want to have on your phone.
Make sure you have multi CSC ROM. In my case it was ok. Changed from CAC to BTU.

There's no LTE/4G only mode. So if this is what you want no need for flashing different ROM.

You need multi CSC ROM. First time boot up without sim and memory card. When boot finished will tell you insert sim. I think Samsung set up phones to allow ONLY one change and only first time...

how to Update using ODIN

Hello
i don't know if this question was asked before i tried to search but nothing
i came from xperia xz and flashing was just as easy as downloading the FTF and flashing in flash mod
i bought my S9 that was stuck at 1 Dec 2018 software and no new updates are available (even with smart switch) to download so my best solution is to update it manually using ODIN
i used to have a galaxy gear watch and s5 and flashing was also simple but i came across a thread that said something about CSC Version and i am sacred that i may brick the phone while trying to update it
can someone point me in the right directions ?
my CSC : G960FOXM2CRLI
Service provider SW ver.
SAOMC_SM-G960F_OXM_KSA_PP_0002
KSA/EGY, EGY/XSG
baseband version

If there are no updated KSA firmwares for your S9, flash any CSC for the G960F, Germany (DBT ) has the latest June update

If you have KSA sim card need to flash KSA firmware with only Home CSC also and if you have EGY sim card and will come OTA downloads

Well yes you need CSCs to match for OTA, but it is not necessary for normal usage, once my region releases the latest update I will flash back for OTA

so it's normal to flaash any firmware even if the CSC doesn't match? only the phone model number right? flashing on ODIN like thr normal way kust like the s5? nothing else need to be done ? like enabling/disabling stuff on developper options ? OEM unlock? sorry for my noobies questions

Normal if your own region CSC has not updated their firmware yes, but you will not receive OTA updates until the CSCs match and will have to flash manually each update
There is a big thread about it so I'm not going to go into it in detail here, quick search should find what you need
Nothing else needed, boot to download mode and flash with Odin 3.13.1

Recommended Firmware for Unbranding a Samsung Galaxy S20+ (SM-G985F)

Hello community!
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S20+ (SM-G985F) which is carrier branded and sim locked. I am looking to remove the carrier branding by using a unbranded firmware. I am trying to find an unbranded firmware that will not affect the functionalities of the phone ( VoLTE, VoWiFi etc..) . Would this be done by finding a firmware with same PDA but different CSC?
Current Branded Firmware:
Version G985FXXU3ATG4 / G985FOWA3ATG4 / G985FXXU3ATG4
Product Code: PGU
Would this firmware work?
Product code LUX
PDA G985FXXU3ATG4
CSC G985FOXM3ATG9
Thanks in advance for your help!

@servenaya
if you have a sim card of Guatemala and you want to keep VoLTE, VoWiFi etc.. for this country
install Version PDA G985FXXU3ATG4-CSC G985FOXM3ATG9
and change your CSC to GTO ( with préconfiguration for TIGO_CGU , PCW_PA and Claro_DR )
LUX have only préconfiguration for Luxemburg ( Proximus , POST , Tango , Telenet , Orange B and LUX )

@yakapa40, thank you! This information is very helpful. I do have a Claro Guatemalan sim and even though the carrier does not support VoLTE, or VoWifi, I would like to keep this features in case they implement them in the future. I did find a firmware with the recommended PDA and CSC (Country South East Europe, Product code: SEE, PDA: G985FXXU3ATG4, CSS: G985FOXM3ATG9). Would this firmware work? From what understand, I would have to first flash this firmware, then change de CSC with Samkey to GTO and lastly, factory restore the phone. Is this correct?
Also, would you recommend using Samkey to perform a carrier unlock before changing the CSC or could I do it later on? I read that Samkey only works for phones that dont ask for unlock code. Mine does ask for a code when I insert another carrier's sim.
Thanks in advance for your help!

@yakapa40 Thank you for your help. You are extremely knowledgeable on this topic! To be honest, I just realize how little I know about flashing even though I've been doing it since 2012. I feel like I understand firmware flashing less than I did before.
I just have a last question. If I flash the firmware with a CSC NEE, and than do the CSC change to GTO, which CSC will be used for future OTA updates? What I mean is, if there is a new NEE firmware will I get it, or will I have to wait for a new GTO update? Sorry, I am little confused with all of this.

G985F OXM is a multi CSC so if you flash the firmware with a CSC NEE , you will get XEF CSC by default
, and when you change to GTO you will get GTO OTA updates

@yakapa40, I was finally able to flash the phone. I followed the steps and got the GTO CSC and the unbranded firmware working! Thank you for helping me throughout the whole process. The only down side was that I still lost the VoLTE and VoWifi options. When I look at the Sim Card Status menu, the IMS registration Status is "not registered". :crying:
