What is the difference between pda and csc

I would try to install an original samsung firmware using odin. Do you your friend have a backup copy of EFS? I doubt APN is responsible for connection error. So my best bet is to reflash original firmware. I have found some new clues, and they tells me that this phone is not sold in Norway, but maybe somewhere in Asia. Would that do the trick? I have uninstalled some system apps without backing those up, and now I need those.

Sadly, the official firmware for Iran is not available for download but you can install any other unbranded firmware. See here :. Thank you very much. If you device is not SIM locked, why not download a 4. Hi Rakesh, Thank you for your reply. I am uncertain with which firmware to download and apply — can I simply just use one of the unbranded firmware; eg.

Just to clarify one last doubt in my mind… does downloading and installing the firmware increase the risk of bricking the device, as compared to modifying the CSC and downloading the patch over the air?

No, I have seen cases where devices got bricked after receiving OTA. Thanks Rakesh. Thanks Rakesh! Hi Sir! What supposed can I do then? In what condition should I change my csc? Well, what am I gonna do for that? Pls, be advised! Hi Rakesh. I live in Beirut, Lebanon. My Lebanese carrier is Touch, so if I change my current CSC, which one must I choose since I live here in Lebanon and be able to benefit from the updates as they happen?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks. Since your device is carrier branded, I would not suggest you to flash any firmware. Hi Rakesh, I very much appreciate your answer. Anyway Sir again, a big thank you.

I am leaving in Norway and I just got back my s3 from the service centre after repair of signal drop issue. Hello, How to get out of this problem? Surprisingly, the list does not have any of the CSCs mentioned by you. I looked for them too but found nothing. Where is it supposed tobe? Ok, so i found out how to get it i had to check out a box which blocked apps from outside google.

The other one csc select 5 tells me. Ok, so i found out how to get it. The Chinese regions do not support Google Apps. I am not sure if changing the CSC would help. Give it a try. Okay you do not know your CSC, right? As you said you phone is unlocked, I am unable to figure out why you are not able to access data connection. I think it is a network baseband issue. Sir my name is asam,other day I did downgrade my galaxy note 2 from 4. Can u sir help me to get out of this problem. My galaxy note 2 came with Vodafone but I got it unlocked and was using with movistar.

Problem started right after doing the menthed above. Any information would be great, thanks! PDA no. Hi I have a galaxy s advance gt-i …… i want android 2. If you want to downgrade your phone from JB to GB, use this guide first and then install the firmware I provided above.

I have an I and after upgrading to 4. I used your tutorial from DroidViews on downgrading and then with your recommendation I installed a 4. You say that they need to match. The service code menu codes keep changing with different firmware versions. If you do not get any error while checking for update, you will receive OTA, otherwise not. Odin is perfect. Thanks for the quick reply. Quick question. I have seen people getting bootloop even after OTA updates.

Anyways, you can get the update. Thanks for the reply. I tried to follow on your above suggestion but failed. Once I open busybox — Root failed.

Please help…. If you are able to use other apps that require root, try to update supersu app and try installing busybox. My phone already have root access. Busybox which type to install — Smart or normal install. Just install BusyBox Free from the market. The file and link both are above. The method has been tested by myself. Thanks for your reply. So I am guessing, if the firmware is not bind to any network, then I would be one of the first ones to get the firmware update in European region?

Thanks mate. I hope the new update comes out soon. Thank you, I am aware of this update. Secondly, the rooting tool odin is for PC and I am a mac user, so another hindrance. I am not saying there are no tutorials for rooting I on mac but they are not as friendly. In short I just have to wait. Thank you for your reply, I just redownloaded and tried to install again but same error message, I guess there is no other way to change CSC on our device?

I tried to installed the app CSC-Changer. I just told about the possible reasons. This error is seen only when the app file is corrupt. So you should try redownloading and installing it. I have just updated the post with a new method that should work for you. Thank you for your quick reply, so in order to use this app I need to root my phone right? Well you need to activate Developer Options on a device with Android 4. Yes hopefully, though I doubt it because of the mismatch of the original modem and the firmware I suggesting.

But there i no harm in trying it. I was hoping for some guidance…my i is still GB and would like to upgrade to JB but my kies would not detect it. My csc code happens to be AUT switzerland although im from the Philippines…beats me, lol.

Anyways, my plan of action is to change csc so that i can get JB. Would you suggest to go ahead and install a hongkong csc or is there a way to install a philippine csc.

More power and thanks. Hi, I think I got something nice for you. Kies will detect that your phone has a different CSC than what it should be. How will Kies detect it? It is very easy for Kies as it is programmed for that. Any online tool can be capable of tracking your location. Hi Darren, I have never heard of any carrier that has different variants of the same device.

You have flashed the correct firmware and I guess on the basis of a few known cases they might have added branding in the newer update for the S4. If you are not having any issues and are able to enjoy all network related services from your carrier, you need not bother about that.

I know a bit of information thanks to your introduction above. My problem right now is:. The model is A Can you please advice me on what to do? Many thanks. Hello, I have problem. After changing the csc to xsg for the N The lock screen does not show up and the phone close when i hold the power button. Any thoughts abt that. If your phone is sim-locked, installing an unbranded firmware might complicate things. Are you able to use other SIMs on your device?

You did not get me yet. I said if you flash a firmware that is made for unbranded phones, you might face network connectivity and other issues. First get your phone unlocked and then think about installing other firmware.

Changing CSC is not a solution for you. In that case, the best way is to install the latest builds manually via Odin. I do this to all my Galaxy devices. You can change it but in a round about way. Having flashed a firmware, you can flash that CSC file from a desired firmware and thus change it. You will have to split the single firmware file with ,tar. But I will not recommend doing all those drill just for changing CSC! You will have to do it your self by using the SplitFus2 tool.

So you still believe Raspbian will magically work - sorry but that just can't be the case. Unlike PC OS where one copy of OS installer can get most things running on most PCs, software for embedded devices including both phones and boards like Pi are incredibly limited in the drivers they come with, and only supports their target hardware.

AndyYan is there no way to do something like this? I mean you've basically got a computer in your hands. You don't - manufacturers deliberately prevent you from doing so.
