Hi all, I'm trying to understand what do the stock firmware versions mean... I have GT-I9195 bought in Slovakia, but it has ETL (Czech) CSC. If I want KK, can I flash stock firmware with Slovakia Orange (ORS) CSC? ETL does not have KK yet according to Sammobile.
How exactly do these CSC differ?
I have found application to change CSC which says that it will wipe all data. Why?
When do I need to wipe data when flashing new ROMs and when not?
If I understand it correctly, I will need CWM backup in case the flashing fails and will use Titanium Backup to restore everything to the new ROM if
it succeeds, right? Will Titanium backup everything (SMS, data of all applications, launcher icons, ...)?
If I have phone rooted, will it stay rooted after flashing new version of stock firmware? Or do I need to flash it first and then root the phone again?

I have a GT-N7100, it is UK and unlocked.
The version *#1234# gives
AP: N7100XXDMC3
CP: N7100XXDLK7
CSC: N7100OJVDMC1
and this firmware is not on SamMobile.
I want to try CyanogenMod and return to stock, and I believe the only way to return to stock is to flash the stock firmware. As I can not find my stock firmware but my phone is still stock, is there any way I can extract the firmware from my phone before I update?
or make some kind of full and complete backup for me to restore?
If it is rooted, you could flash a new recovery ie TWRP, or Philz, which you can use to create backups, just be sure to tick all the boxes of what you want to backup. And if you're not happy with CM, you can restore the backup. I believe that you can flash the stock recovery through Odin, but I have never needed to, so I'm not 100% sure. If you have anymore questions don't be afraid to ask, I just might not know the answer .

Hi,
I have Note 4 DE with TWRP, rooted that came with N910VVRU1ANI1. There is newer version of software, N910VVRU1ANJ5, available here
What should I do to update the software on my phone without locking the unlocked bootloader? According to what I read here and there, I must bypass OTA updates that will "convert" my DE to stock locked phone and should use Odin and flash Stock Restore, Kernel, Modem & Recovery; am I missing something or adding something that I do not need? In what order should I flash all these? When do I wipe Dalvik/Cache?
Thanks.
doesnt matter what order just dont flash full or partial firmware or bootloader/recovery. dont know if you need a full wipe or not
i would recommend just flashing this in twrp honestly though

Just flash "stock restore" in odin, it will update everything (except bootloader) you will retain data and be on NJ5. You will then have to reflash TWRP in Odin then reroot via Chainfire auro root or by flashing super SU in TWRP. If you run into problems I would recommend reflashing via Odin, then doing a factory reset via stock recovery then you will have to redo the above. FYI the factory reset in stock recovery will wipe the internal SD so make a backup. If you flash the ROM listed above without updating to NJ5 in Odin first you may get bootloop.
I have a sm-g960f which I bought, installed custom rom when I first got it. I used it over a year and wanted to flash back to stock to sell. After I flashed lastest pie firmware it gave network lock screen.
I reinstalled twrp and flash alexandr devbase 6.0 rom it still network locked. If I restore a efs backup, I made in twrp, it works again.
Anyway to use a twrp efs backup and apply it to stock Odin firmware?
My A505F has official INS firmware, if I flash any other firmware like PAK firmware by selecting home csc option in odin, will my data be wiped out??
Hi all,
I own a german unbranded SM320 2017 which I rooted and uninstalled some system apps.
My buildnumber is R16NW.A320FLXXS7CTG2 and baseband is A320FLXXS7CTFH.
How do I know which ROM is the original one to flash with ODIN to restore original system app state?
and can I only flash AP in Odin or do I need to flash BL, Modem, CSC etc?
Thanks!
