Hi,
Finally got my galaxy tab to work after 6 hours. Now it is running well.
As it is 4 am here, i will post a guide for Singapore users once i wake up as i have meet with problems during the whole process.
Luckily, all information can be found on this forum but just that you will have to read through 20 plus pages from different topic in order to get the answer.
Super happy with my phone now!
*just another newbie* =)

Sorry to steal your thread. Singaporean tab user here as well. I think we should constantly update this thread for singapore users. I was running dxjm4 up til this morning when i decided to flash to roto-jme. spent the last few days reading the thread and considering whether to upgrade or not because of the lack of information for singapore users. so i decided to take the plunge and just go for the upgrade no risk no gain. my tab got stucked at the samsung logo after it auto rebooted but it was fine after i manually rebooted it
what i did was to upgrade from jm4 instead full flashing my tab. it turned out fine so far but there's one thing that puzzles me. the apps that roto mentioned were removed are still in my tab such as daily briefing etc.. do u have this problem as well?
Not Too Sure... I am new to Galaxy Tab or rather Android =P
But i suggest you do a full flash again.
i wasn't ready to even root my device initially as i only gotten my Tab on Saturday 7th Jan 2011.
One thing that actually forced me to root and flash the rom is the stock version whether bug or not i just couldn't sync with my company exchange 2010, which is critical for me.
Nonetheless, i haven't tried the jme v4 as yet (I suppose) as i did not know how to get it to work.
All i did was follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827
And all went well, except that Data doesn't work.
Thoughout the whole process i did not use the file name "Roto-JME-Full-v4"
which set me thinking whether did i actually do the right thing.
One thing is most of the stock app was gone, baseband was change to I9000UGJK3, Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 and Build number is Froyo.XXJME.

i am new to android too and this is my first android device. your baseband is weird? I9000? which firmware did u flash???
Root devices *Important Points
And Yes i woke up...
Anyway i do not gain credit from the guide itself as everything can be found in this forum. If you want to thank people, please thank the people that writes the program and the trial & error people if you find my thread useful. I am just consolidating all the steps that i used to flash my Tab, important things to take note of and etc...
Step by step guide to Rooting:
Please read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
*Important points to Note when Rooting"
Process:
1) Connect your galaxy tab with debugging mode disabled and sync with Kies even once - You must be damn sure Kies can connect to your phone
2) Disconnect it and enable debugging mode from Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
3) Connect the tab again to PC and click on home button so that Tab comes out of Kies connection - I found that after USB Debugging is turn off, Kies can still find your phone but it will just appear as Connecting... on the top left hand side of Kies. (I left my Kies on throughout the process)
4) Launch SuperOneClick.exe
5) Click on root and wait for 5-10 Mins - it stated 5 - 10 min but it took like 5 - 10 sec for SuperOneClick to prompt me saying that device is rooted.
And that all for Rooting whole process took me about 5 min Including all the reading. (Simple Great Job by SuperOneClick!)
Now comes the slightly complicated part: Flashing New Roms
Below is the thread that is used
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827
What i did was:
1) Download OdinV3 1.7 (Provided in the thread 895827)
2) Download Addon-JME-Modem.zip (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
3) Download P1_add_hidden.pit (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
4) Download Roto-JME-FmtIntSD.zip (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/archive/)
Additional:
I also downloaded (But till now i have not use any of the file below)
1) Roto-JME-FmtIntSD-v2.zip ( http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/archive/)
2) Roto-JME-Upgrade-v4.zip ( http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
Why is it not used, i myself is not too sure. For FmtIntSD alot of people is asking which is it to use as there are 2 different version 1 & 2 (i Suppose).
I have used the Version 1, as the time posted in the FTP link seem to be later than Version 2.
Also as thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827 shows in the screenshot, under tab CSC: Addon-JME-Hidden.Tar, this file is missing plus confirmation from the thread saying that it will fine without it.
Once downloaded, it is time to get to business =)
Steps i took:
1) Startup Odin
2) Connect Galaxy Tab to Kies make sure Kies is able to connect to the device and is able to Sync with device (Toggle with the USB Debugging option Either On or OFF) *My kies is never turn off from the start Rooting to Flashing* i think in order for Odin to work properly, Kies must be able to detect the device is been plugged in. (Just my Thought)
3) At this point of time Odin will also detect the device been plugged in as show in the screenshot provided in thread 895827. The yellow box will appear stating COM10 or 11 or 12 (DOesn't matter what com Number)..... Left hand bottom of ordin will also show Added!
Checked Make sure and double checked.... Yeah the next part!!!
4) Unplugged my phone from the USB
5) Off my phone
5) On my phone to get to the downloading mode (Hold Power Button and Volume Down Button)
6) Checked my Odin, Bottom left log shows REMOVED!
Hell Ya exactly the same as the sceenshot.....
7) Plugged in my phone with the Downloading screen....
8) Waited.... Waited..... 5 min pass..... Windows 7 is still searching for "Gadget Serial Port" Odin didn't detect the device connected.... don't have to worry Windows 7 will eventually find the driver, just got to give it sometime (Just in case you meet with the same problem like i did, Windows 7 took almost 10 min for the device to be ready)
9) Check Odin, Bottom left hand log.... ADDED!
Almost there.....
10) Plant in all the .Tar file as show in screenshot (Thread 895827)
*Please make sure you unzip the .rar file the logo is similar to winrar icon once you unzip. Can get a little messy, what i did was unzip and delete the original zip file that i downloaded. Remember JME-Hidden.Tar is not needed, just leave it blank*
11) Tick the "Re-partition" in Odin
Now you are all ready to start, double check all the setting and click the "Start" in Odin... =)
12) Pray.... Pray... Pray....
Whole process took me about 5 min, Odin will show you the details as it is flashing, Installing and Bla Bla Bla.... Once it is ready, Odin will prompt you either Successful or Failed...
Phone will automatically restart. Just leave it till you see the main screen comes out.
* I Succeed on my first try, so if you fail i guess you got more reading to do than me, but i am sorry that i am unable to help if you fail at this point*
Now then all good, checked my phone all seem well... did a call to my house number, Working....
Now the complication that i faced: My 3G (data Services) is NOT RUNNING!!!!
Did a search on the forum and found a few threads that is helpful:
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901021
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845263&highlight=modem.bin&page=3
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273&highlight=modem_bell_i9000
* I Have attached the modem.bin that i use to get my 3G working, but before you download the attachment please do a few check as stated below.Things to check if your 3G (Data Service) is not working:
1) APNs setting
Setting>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
2) Select the Access Point Names and see if there is any setting inside.
3) If it shows "No Setting"
4) Tab on the bottom left hand corner of your galaxy tab, "MENU" button beside the "Home" buttom
5) select "Add APN"
6) Use the information below, key in whatever is there. Those that you don't know just leave it blank. (As long as your are in Singapore i believe you know which telco you are with)
StarHub (Singapore)
APN: shwap or shwapint
Leave user/pass blank.
M1 (Singapore)
APN: sunsurf
user: 65 pass:
user123
swirlyMMS :
MMSC and Proxy server settings MMSC : http://mmsgw:8002/
Proxy : 172.16.14.10:8080
MMS-specific APN Settings
APN: miworld
username:65
password:user123
SingTel (Singapore)
APN: internet
Username: 65IDEAS (or blank)
Password: IDEAS (or blank)
Once Key-in "MENU" button again and safe the setting, now go back to your APNs and check to see if you have selected the setting you key-in (Button on the right hand side will be "GREEN"
Now Wait & Pray that the logo "3G" or "H" appear on the top beside your signal strenght bar.
if no launch your dialer (Press Phone) and Dial *#2263# select "automatic" 1st option. (Select it once and exit by pressing "HOME" or "BACK")
Wait & Pray....
I believe this should get it going as under JME-Modem.zip, the modem should already be in.
__________________ I sincerely hope that you do not have to do the step below________________________________________________
If the 3G or H is still not showing after you tried the above step. Download the modem.bin (Attachment in this thread modem_bell_i9000.zip)
Then follow the step below:
1) Unzip the file
2) startup Odin
3) Browse for the Modem.bin, using Odin "Phone" Tab (File you unzip from the attachment downloaded from here)
4) off your phone and boot it up to the "DOWNLOADING SCREEN"
Checklist:
5) Re-partition is NOT tick
6) Odin detect your device
Hit "Start" and wait for your phone to reboot.
*I succeed with this flashing of modem, if you fail all i can say is good luck*
Once your phone is up, check on the APNs setting again (Key-in the details is there is nothing in the list) Check on *#2263# and set it as automatic.
Then End.....
Conclusion:
I use the exact same step for my phone, and get it going. I hope it helps you.
Again i would want to highlight that none of the above is by me, all information can be found in thread posted by other users. Please give thanks to them as they are the one doing the job, taking risk to try ROMs, Root and etc...
=) i hope my thread helps anyone with the same problem as me...
PS: DO NOT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE IF THE ABOVE GUIDE DOESN"T WORK FOR YOU.
Hi Kay Kiat,
I Seriously don't know. See the steps i posted, i believe it is because i flash a i9000 modem in that is why my baseband is weird. =p
i believe all i need to do is to re-flash the Jme modem in, and it should be right.
But currently at work no time to try. haha
Best Regards
Hi guys, Singapore GT user here also. Looking forward to try out your guide.
EDIT: Just flashed Roto's JME-Full-v4 with repartition. All works fine. No modem flash required.

are you talking about the keyboard?
Hi,
wanted to share my experience from flashing this Rom.
The way I've done it is download the latest full version find in the ftp site (not the archive) directory and using Odin to fladh my tab. I also downloaded all the other files but did not use them.
Overall, this rom is good. It solved my exchange problem but i've lost a few things as well. There's no more chinese input and i'm no longer able to zoom and pinch on dolphin browser. Does anubody has any solutions to these problems?
Thx.

This was solved in another thread, maybe the Roto-JME one itself. Theres a new version from Dolphin with the fix. You'll find it

The Roto-JME-Full-v4 will format the internal sdcard only if it is corrupted. So you can shorten the steps to just flashing that one firmware. The ones in the archive are there just in case we needed to test something.
APN settings
Hi
Did you guys copy down the APN settings and did you manage to get your MMS working? I only have my 3G working. Was trying out the different settings to get MMS working too.
ps: for chinese input, can just install google pinyin. been using it since Im only android. swype does have chinese input but the one on the tab doesnt have it. I was testing the beta using my hero and i can do chinese input using the swype keyboard. i wonder if there is anyway to update the swype version to the latest one released by them.

You'll need to goto Setting-Locale and text, check the Penpower Input Method. After that, at any input screen, press & hold - then select the input method.

Thanks for the file, it works fine. Just the right hand side part of the keyboard is emtpy. I wonder if there is anything to adjust the scale.
Thanks.
I was flashing stock rooted FW to my AT&T note II. i clicked on 'Nand erase all' in odin while flashing and there was no pit file provided so re partition was unchecked.
ever since that was flashed my phone does not recognise any sim card, IMEI is "null / null" and the baseband is unknown.
all my internal memory shows in the application manager window to be free but in the storage section in settings, i have 0.00B left.
if i access my phone memory through a file explorer i can write on my /storage/sdcard0 partition but system does not recognise it.
i went through many XDA topics involving how to write imei number, how to restore baseband. cant find anything that would help me.
i have tried to install stock rom again, different versions of stock roms. tried to use pit files and stock rom. nothing worked.
i tried flashing the modem again using custom recovery but that did not help either.
is there a way out or i have a note ii with no phone functionality for the rest of its life?

I apologize.
I will keep it in mind next time.
had this happen after a hard brick
pls read entire thing before attempting
this is the method i used to fix
ON A DIFFERENT COMPUTER/ OR UNINSTALL ALL PROGRAMS AND DRIVERS!!!!
You will need your Serial # and kies
after installing Kies and drivers goto tolls menu and select Firmware upgrade and Initialization (step one picture)
it will prompt u for your model # SGH-I317 (Step two pic)
after that it will ask for your serial #
then it prompt you to put you phone in download mode and plug it in this may take a few min and i would suggest going to the installing drivers. ie plugging in you phone in every mode so you computer recognizes it
once kies starts downloading to you phone you should be good to go it restart just like you pulled it out of the box
Thanks a lot

worked perfect i thought the phone was gone i had no IMIE no BASEBAND nothing i was able to fix the phone with these easy steps thanks for the post
I would love to try this out. However in my case the phone reboots way too soon for Kies to recognize it. However it does not reboot if I keep in on a MD1 modem, which of course will not recognize as a valid combination to get an update.
Sort of a catch 22.
Thanks
Thanks a lot mate. It worked well for me and my Note 2 is back to life after almost a stressful day with dead Note 2.
Thanks again!!

THANK YOU!!!! This fixed my issue. Late last night I posted about not transferring the rom files to my phone before I cleaned it off. Would only boot to recovery. The only ROM I had access to was will03's CM11 4.4 nightly. The last one I tried blew out my baseband and IMEI so I was hoping it was fixed in the latest.
I was able to get 4.4 onto my phone but it didn't recognize the Sim and the baseband and imei were unknown. The last time this happened, I used a back to stock pack I got off of these forums (Stock > Root > Triangle Away > Unroot) and that worked.
This was much cleaner for me since I was at work and didn't have access to my stuff. The only thing it didn't do was reset the flash counter, which is fine. I can do that myself.
Thanks again!
Baseband was updated for mj5 modem also flashing wrong meaning international versions just a thought

I was able to get every thing else except, my phone stopped recognizing the my Indian SIM (i.e. vodafone provider). I got all note 3 features working like charm (Air Command etc...). I just followed all the steps given by you @cobraa783. Still it's not able to restore my baseband, IMEI etc...
Please help me.
Thanks in Advance.
Use Kies to emergency recover back to stock 4.1.1.
Steps. (READ ALL BEFORE STARTING)
1.) Downloads Kies onto your pc
2.) Install drivers to pic
3.) Open Kies and go to TOOLS > instal/upgrade firmware.
4.) Kies will ask you for you device model. AT&T = SHE I317. And your serial number. Located behind the battery.
5.) Hit start in Kies it will down load the stock firmware to your PC. Follow the instructions.
6.) It will eventually ask you to put your phone in download mode and connect it to the pc. Do this.
7.) Don't touch it. It is going to take about 10-20 min depending on your Internet speed and your computer.
When it is complete your phone will be back to stock. The same it was the day you pulled it out of the box.
***I would also make sure you back up any data on your phone because it will delete the sd card. It is also wise to remove any external storage sd.
****when finished you can re root using cf auto root or take the OTA update to get you back to 4.3.

Greetings, just want to help a little. Like many here I had the same problem ... Note 2 brick for 2 days. Continue with the suggestions of the forum where Samsung Kies is used to return to the factory and have been Emei etc .... My did not work me. However, manages to find the PIT to Note 2 (I317 & i317m) Which use Odin3 v3.09 with a factory Firmware (I317UCAMA4), and the corresponding Pit instead. I pretty much gave up .... but it worked great. Now my I317 ATT works great again. I hope to help them, as I help my! Luck! Well Please ... Thus if you want to try go to link at bottom. It really works and I understand it is a faster way ... thanks to the good work of many on this site!

TL;DR you need to install the combination firmware and edit two files
INFO: Netodin works fine in linux as well with wine since it works over the wifi
1. Start NetOdin3 click options and disable auto reboot
2. Click AP and select the combination firmware
3. Hold reboot button on the Samsung watch, when the reboot screen shows up press home multiple times to get into the boot menu
4. Jump to the Download (Wireless) and hold the boot button again to get into the Firmware download menu
5. Press the same button to more times to switch the watch to AP mode
6. Connect your wifi to the watch SM-R830-someid
7. In NetOdin3 press Start to flash the combination firmware
8. Click reset and now press CSC button
9. Select the CSC md5 and press start
10. When you reboot the device hold the boot button again until you enter the boot menu again
11. Select recovery and let the device restart
12. Enter settings -> About watch -> Software -> Tap software version until debug mode starts (you may need to restart your watch)
13. Connect watch to wifi
14. sdb connect <watchip>
15. sdb root on
16. sdb shell
17. backup active-customer.info: sdb pull /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf
18. backup prodcode.dat: sdb pull /csa/imei/prodcode.dat
19. edit /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf and replace csc code (I used vim and the XAR for the US version, https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/vi-editor-unix/ )
20. edit /csa/imei/prodcode.dat and replace last three characters to csc code you want (don't enter the csc selection after this it will reset it to the factory region)
21. reboot the device into recovery (i used /usr/bin/csc-util --reboot customer_change but i'm not sure it's necessary)
22. run netodin again and select AP, BL and CSC to flash stock
23. enjoy samsung pay if you have a US credit card (seems like you no longer need to install samsung pay apks on non samsung phone it's part of the wearables app)

Thank you for your reply,l bought my watch in UK.

A Beginner
Hi,
First of all I want to thank you guys for the grat work.
I want to say that I am actually a beginner or amature when it comes to what you are doing
The instructions are very clea. But I would really appreciate it if anybody describes what to do with more details, especially the codes of sdb. Just some more details
It would be great if you can upload a video "If possible"
1. What is the worst thing that might happen if I do something wrong? Can the watch be ruind? Can I fix it if it happens?
2. Where can I find the csc of my country "Sweden" I googled it and found like 5 or 6 different csc !! Is there any trusted source?
3. Is it appliable to R820??? the 44mm model? or do I need to do something different in my case??
Thanks in advance
Coming from the other thread to confirm this worked for me, thanks a ton! Didn't think it would be that simple with just editing two text files.. lol
For those who missed it(I did), some steps are missing where one has to repeatedly connect back to AP every time something has to be done in NetOdin.
Also if anyone is confused about the steps, it's pretty much the same process for all samsung watches so just search for it on youtube, it's there.
Out of curiosity, where did you get the firmware from?? @tb_

Hi ,
Thanks for your feedback,are the sdb thing code mandatory?on youtube they only add the 3 or 4 files on odin and just flash it...
Hey guys, firstly thankyou! This worked perfectly and now I'm able to use Samsung pay down in Australia! Only thing that I would add from the perspective of being a complete beginner to Odin, is how to save the files when you edit the CSC (press escape then type ":wq") it took me an extra 20 minutes to figure it out and I thought someone might find it useful

Got it from a third party. I was worried that it was counterfeit so before installing it I went through the system files to see if it's really the right model. But I can of course not guarantee that it wasn't modified by a third party. But I kinda assume that samsung won't boot from any random image given that you can't downgrade Samsung and even their tizen to any version you want apparently.

The csc.img has BTU inside. But I can't guarantee you anything when I ran this with my zone set to XTC it was booting fine but I couldn't get my phone to connect / initialize the watch after the factory reset. But not sure if it was the app or because i didn't properly reset or if I maybe shouldn't have reset.
So I can tell you that it will boot without issues but whether it works no idea. Maybe someone else can comment on that.

I think you are talking about steps 17 and 18. If so can you please till me a bit more detailed how to do these steps ! I mean Do we edit manually in the sdb?? or how are we editing? Why do we need to save the files after editing? there is nothing about saving files in the steps above!
Sorry if my questions are silly but I am a real beginner here!

No one will give you guarantees on this because no one wants to blame if something goes wrong. But if you try absolutely under no circumstances interrupt the flashing process and absolutely don't use the wrong model ROM. Also to be safe don't try to flash a firmware that has a lower version than your current one.

csc usually depends on the vendor. So there are a bunch of sweden csc's . But you should be able to find your current csc in /cas/imei/prodcode.dat

r820 is the 44mm bluetooth model.
825 and 835 are lte with one version being US and the other being global I believe.

Lower frimware? I have Tizen version 4.0.0.7
1. Do you know if the availabe combination frimware for R820 is of a lower frimware??
2. Yes My R820 is the 44mm bluetooth. thats correct. I guess I should use R820 which you linked in your original post!
3. Can you please describe more about steps 17-18 I didn't really understand how to edit! It's my first time using this sdb thing
Thanks for your patience everybody answering or even reading my questions
I think I am the most commenting member on this topic.
I have read a lot and almost all the details in each shared link in this thread.
I am trying hard I swear. Lately after downloading the shared files in the links in the original post. I can't start the file "web-cli_Tizen_Studio_3.3_windows-64"
It is just flashing a cmd window and nothing happens after that!
What should I do in this case??
The other file in the link "web-ide_Tizen_Studio_3.3_windows-64" is telling I should have JDK software which I installed but It didn't help anyway!

Don't use that because I had the same issue in Windows 10. Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330 and download SDBstarterKidv1.zip. Extract it and run ansicon.exe under data/tools folder. It will open a command prompt.

Thanks for the advice
I haven't done Netodin steps yet.
I am trying now to just connect the watch to the computer through the wifi network.
I have debugging mode on in the watch but I still can not connect to the watch
It keeps telling me failed to connect
connecting to 192.168.0.16:26101 ...
failed to connect to 192.168.0.16:26101
Is it normal I can't connect before doing the netodin steps??

Normally the watch comes up with a prompt to allow your pc to connect to your watch. Maybe you might have to restart your watch. I would try the netodin step first because it might be more straightforward to connect the combination firmware to the computer because I didn't get any prompt on that.
Also maybe check that your virus scanner/firewall isn't blocking access.

I've tried to turn off my antivirus and firewall but still no connection.
The newer versions of sdb 4.1.8 is showing the following:
The version of SDB client (4.1.8) and server (2.2.60) are different.
This may cause version compatibility problems.
It is recommended to use SDB server 4.1.8. *

This is driving me crazy guys
Still cannot connect to the watch through wifi yet
I am getting this answer now

* server started successfully *
connecting to 192.168.0.16:26101 ...
failed to connect to 192.168.0.16:26101
I am trying on both the older and the newer versions of sdb
Debugging mode is on in my watch
When writing same command again "sdb connect 192.168.0.16" I get weird figures or "error: target offline" in the newest version of sdb
I have even tried to create a private wifi from the computer I use and connect the watch to the same network but it didn't help either.
I am still only trying to connect the watch to the computer through sdb. I haven't done the odin steps yet. I am afraid doing odin steps and not being able to complete the sdb connecty steps !!
I have another question:
Where I live in Sweden. Samsung didn't release a bluetooth version at all. That's why I bought mine from Germany.
If I change my csc to Sweden. Will it work as there is actually no swedish bluetooth SM-R820 !! I mean that mine watch will be probably the only bluetooth r820 with swedish csc !!!! will I get updates as usual? will the watch even work?

Warning: Do this at your own risk, I am not responsible for any damage that is caused to your device. This method worked for me and should work for everyone.

You must make sure the model numbers are the same for the country you want to change to. To check that go to
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/recent/
and type in your device model number. Leave country code blank. The countries that are listed are those that will work on your specific device. DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT MODEL NUMBER COUNTRY!
MAKE sure device has above 70% battery just to be safe
OK lets start!
Backup all your data on samsung cloud and google
This process will erase all your data
Download samsung drivers
https://www.hardreset.info/download/samsung-drivers/
Check the CSC code you want from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2546689 credit to Jasi2169
Important later
Download the firmware you want from sammobile (slow download speed) or
https://samfw.com/ for faster download speeds.
It will be a zip file so use winrar to extract and you should get 5 files that start with
AP (System &Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC\_ (Country / Region / Operator)
HOME\_CSC (Country / Region / Operator)
DELETE the home file.
Next download Odin.
https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.14.4.zip
Extract the Odin file and run as administrator.
Add each file to its respective field in Odin.
Now we need to put the phone in download mode to do that go to:
https://www.hardreset.info/devices/s...download-mode/
Keep trying until it works.
Next plug the device in and press start. It should take about 3-4 mins for odin to say PASS.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE AT ANY POINT EVEN AFTER ODIN SAYS PASS.
Let the phone do its thing and dont worry if it takes too long on the Samsung screen.
You should then be greeted with the welcome screen BUT it may not be the correct language so set it to English.
Set the phone up but dont worry about apps we are going to reset the phone again.
Head over to (APK provided by yakapa40).
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hU3...ew?usp=sharing.
on your device or PC and download it. Extract and it should be a apk file. Download it with your device.
Allow unknown sources and it should says done and not open (that is normal).
put you device in flight mode/airplane mode.
hold down the home screen and go to themes.
Galaxy themes.
My stuff.
Select mysterious theme(make sure not to click update).
Select try it out.
Go to Settings.
About phone.
Legal information.
Change Carrier or whatever third option is (the one that says android 10).
Choose and install the CSC you want (that 3 letter code) remove sim and it will restart phone.
again, dont worry if its on the Samsung screen for too long.
You should be back on the welcome screen and you are done!!!
Set up the phone and enjoy!!!

Download link is broken
This app will NOT work on firmware with August 2020 (or later) security patch. .
The App was originally discussed in the S20 thread and stopped working for all Samsung models if August update was installed)
is there any easier way for changing CSC?
this one seems so complicated.

When attempting to root, install a custom ROM, or even install the original firmware, you may encounter issues that are caused by a broken cord, a dead computer, or when the firmware you installed is corrupted or you have the incorrect version installed. However, covering all error messages in a single article is difficult. As a result, we're focusing solely on "An error occurred when updating the device software." Samsung Galaxy Smartphones exhibit this error. It happened to me on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus with One UI and Android 10, Android 11, and Android 12 firmware.
We have two options for fixing this: official and unofficial. The latter is suggested.
Unofficial Method
Using Frp HiJacker by Hagard
In this method, we will be using the unofficial application “Frp HiJacker by Hagard“.
1. First you need to download the application from this link.
2. Once downloaded please extract the zip archive and you will get a “.exe” file. Double click on it to install.
3. In the second installation window you will be asked to enter the password. Now enter “www.gsmhagard.com” as the password and complete the installation.
4. Once done connect your Samsung Galaxy Smartphone with your PC and open the “Frp HiJacker by Hagard” application.
Now if the box near “Port” is empty then please click the “Scan” button. Once done your phone will be detected by the application.
Else type your model number.
However, if the box is already filled automatically you are good to proceed.
5. Now select “Soft Brick Fixer” and click the “HIJACK IT!” button.
That’s it your Galaxy Smartphone will reboot and the error will be gone for good.
Official Method
This method uses the official Samsung “Smart Switch” PC application.
1. First please download and install the Smart Switch application on your Windows PC from this link and for MAC OS here.
2. Now open Smart Switch If your device is connected you will get the phone model on this screen. If your Galaxy Smartphone is already connected please press the 3 dots on the top right corner and you will get a dropdown.
3. Now tap on “Emergency Software Recovery “. If you are good to go your phone model will be listed in the window’s list.
If you can see your phone’s model there please select it and click “OK” and follow the onscreen steps to resolve the error.
However, if you are not able to see your phone model or not able to connect to Smart Switch In this case please click on the second option which is “Reinstall device driver “.
When you get the window please click “Confirm” to proceed with phone driver installation.
Continue from "Step-3" once the device driver installation is complete and you can connect your phone to the "Smart Switch."
If you are unable to connect your Galaxy Smartphone to Smart Switch or if your phone model is not listed under "Emergency Software Recovery," you should utilize the Unofficial approach.
This actually helped me. Say, I've noticed it also has "remove FRP". Can you please explain how to perform this operation, too?

It only solved the error. I still have FRP.
I have found this video though, and even though it looks quite dangerous (for the PC), I gave it a try.
I'm only half way there. I got to the point that I'm in the settings of the OS.
