Hi everybody !
I have a S4 mini 16gb (GT I9195) locked Verizon. I bought it in hong kong and the problem is that there was already a Custom Rom on it.
I tried to install many ROMs (french and german version) with ODIN to have the menu in french (I'm from Paris). I didn't tried operator one's, only constructor one's and it has always failed.
I tried many ROMs, cables, many version of ODIN and many USB plug but nothing changed it's still stucked on NAND Write fail on the ODIN report.
I think my only option is to flash the PIT and to install a new rom. Many question about it :
Am I right about flashing the PIT ?
Do the PIT have to match with a special ROM when using it with ODIN) or any ROM for S4 mini while match wit a good PIT file?
The biggest problem is that I only found one PIT file corresponding to this phone and it failed. Nothing happened. Is any of you has a PIT file ok ?
Thanks for your help and sorry if my english is not perfect.
What firmware version you have?
I think i9195 is international not carrier specific, then you could flash any firmware as long as you're not downgrading bootloader (Odin will fail downgrading)
Can you post your download screen.
Help!!! please!!!

Sorry for the late answer, I've been really busy at Work.
I have the 4.2.2.
I tried with many versions of firmware (even the latest downloaded on sammobile but always failed.
I don't know what download screen you want (sorry i'm a total noob).
When I try to flash the PIT Odin fail with this message : "Set PIT file" and the "Fail!". On the Phone i have this message on the download mode screen "Secure check Fail : PIT".
I don't know if it helps.

Hello Everyone, I have a problem, I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 from Hong-Kong (I8160ZLSK2) but I want change region, for a firmware who have "XXLL2" suffix I can't because I have this on phone reset "can't access system/csc/TGY/system" (TGY is Hong Kong region)
In properties of my phone, I have info from CSC, PDA but PHONE=UNKNOWN. (can't have call fonction, network fonction, no simcard)
Flashing by odin perfect (PASS!) with processus Kies Killed.
I test Ukraine firmware, does'nt work (I8160XXLL2_I8160OXELL2_HOME.tar.md5 from samfirmware)
I8160ZLSK2 ROOTED
Anyone can help me ? :crying:
Sorry if my english have some mistakes, I'm french :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145464 This should help you
On my HK ace 2 when I try changing the region, it says completer write operation failed and on my phone it says custom modem binary. I tried flashing XXLK2 rooted.
I test this
PHONE/BASEBAND "UNKNOWN":
You flashed a wrong modem.img.md5, f.e. you can't flash i8160P/L modem on i8160.
Create a tar from phone part (modem.img.md5) extracted from roms built for your model (i8160/L/P) and flash just the phone.tar with odin.
Or write modem.bin.md5 (not the tar!) directly to modem/phone partition using terminal/adb (requires rooted phone):
If doesn't solves the problem flash a rom made for your model!
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/external_sd/modem.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcbk0p13
reboot

But don't work, on reboot, always PHONE: UNKNOWN
I will return of I8160ZLSK2 rooted :crying:
PS: I have to do WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET after flash with I8160XXLL2 ? (because I never did that)

Hi,
Is it possible to change the landcode of t s4 mini? I live in the netherlands, but reveived a phone from Poland.
I would like to know if it's possible to change it to the netherlands and receive the regular updates from samsung, the kitkat update didn't come out in Poland yet.
thanks
Anybody?

U can`t change landcode without root + Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC or with Phone INFO ★Samsung★
But your current rom MUST have Multi-CSC and contain both ( 99% it won`t )
Easiest way is to download rom from sammobile for Netherlands (Vodafone) and flash it with Odin

As far as I know changing the CSC will factory-reset the phone (Phone INFO ''CSC Changer' tells that as well).
I saw that Titanium Backup is backing up CSC application and data. Does anybody know what happens if one restores the CSC data with TB? Does this work without factory-reset?
Reason for asking is that I had a strange issue yesterday: flashing with ODIN failed 'Get PIT for mapping...'. The phone was starting up with the message 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again'.
I removed the battery and then I could flash the firmware without problems. Later after setting up everything I noticed that my CSC changed from 'DBT' to 'KOR'
To be honest, I never had to change the csc. The european firmwares have multiple CSCs included are the right one should be chosen automatically at first boot up after flashing. And I really dont understand what CSCs really are. So I dont care about them. Flashing the belgium fw worked as well as the german one. Couldn't fnd any difference (accept for the Hello app^^). European people are bothering themselves way to much about this topic...
Hi im new here, im not sure what i need to do.
Let me explain, i got a s6 edge from t-mobile unlocked with android 5.0 then i installed the new firmware originial 7.0 for t-mobile version. After that, the phone lost signal. Now i would like to install another firmware but i cant because in Odin appears sboot.bin error and in my phone screen appears fail bootloader. Could someone explain me what i need to do to install again ??
Its necessary have root??
i am having the same problem so perhaps ill do some forum searching and try to find an answer...we cant both be the only ones, right?
I was flashing with ODIN a new firmware (a newer one of what i had) with the correspondent files (BL, CP, AP, CSC) and this happened:
<ID:0/005> Receive Response from boot-loader
<ID:0/005> cache.img.ext4
<ID:0/005> odm.img.ext4
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
The whole process failed and it didn't finish the instalation.
After that the phone would say that there was an error during the instalation of the software and stay on that screen.
I decided to flash ONLY the AP file and it was successfull, but the phone is now stuck on a bootloop and won´t get pass the "powered by android" screen.
I flashed the BL again and it is successfull but it wont change a thing.
However if i flash the CSC or the HOME_CSC, it gives me the same error as before:
<ID:0/005> Receive Response from boot-loader
<ID:0/005> cache.img.ext4
<ID:0/005> odm.img.ext4
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
I've tried wiping the data partition, factory reset, and nothing.
Please help me. I've been trying to fix this for hours without a possible solution at sight.:crying::crying::crying:
Looking forward for any advice.
Regards!!

Are you using ODIN 3.13.1 ? Older versions won't work
There may be something I don't know about that model as I don't own it, so hopefully someone who does can chime in, but I would suggest trying another PC too

Yes. I've used Odin v3.13.1 and the patched version located here in the forums.
Just to be clear, i have the Duos version of the g9600, but i've read that it doesn't change anything when installing a new firmware.
I've downloaded the original firmware it came with and i'll try flashing that one to see if it comes back to life at least :/

I've successfully flashed the original firmware and the phone works now.
I don´t know if it was Odin, my computer, drivers, or whatever, but now it works.
The question is, this means that i should keep this firmware forever? I don't quite like a couple of things within it, such as the keyboard layout which is chinese one.
how can i get rid of that?
Thanks for the support, guys!!

If that is the latest firmware for that CSC (region) then you'll have to wait for a newer OTA to arrive if you can't use ODIN
Keyboard layout should be changeable from settings, or install a better keyboard as a lot of us do, "SwiftKey" keyboard and you can customise that how you like
g9600 user here to explain the teeny tiny problem you had, first, ARO csc is a part of the OWO code, and as far I can read in the TGY FW is SM-G9600/TGY/G9600ZHU3ARK1/G9600TGY3ARK1/G9600ZCU3ARK1/G9600ZHU3ARK1 while the ARO FW is SM-G9600/ARO/G9600ZHU3ARJ2/G9600OWO3ARJ1/G9600ZCU3ARJ2/G9600ZHU3ARJ2 the difference is the OWO part that doesn`t match and a I assume that's where the error is.
Long story short, stay with the TGY. Hope I helped you in some way
