Hi. Sorry for asking but I am new to Samsung.

If I understand it right than when I want to flash a kernel or a new firmware I use PDA.

I read somewhere something about an EFS folder which should be backuped and restored. When do I have to do that? Each time when I flash a new firmware?

When would do I have to use CSC?

What is the difference to "Mobile ODIN Pro" from Chainfire?

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Just follow the guide, the pictures show what you need to do. Kernel goes in PDA. If firmware is a single tarball then it also goes in PDA. You'll only need to flash the kernel if you're rooting.

You shouldn't really need to use the CSC unless you're going to flash a firmware from another region but want to keep your region's CSC then you use it.

You only need to backup your EFS folder once. Just root your device and use root explorer, or any other file explorer with root access, mount the efs folder as RW and then copy it to your SD card. Make a backup copy somewhere on your PC and keep it safe. I've never had to restore my EFS folder but it's good to be safe.

I really want to update my firmware but cannot get any update via manual update directly from my phone or through kies. so i've downloaded the BUALF1 firmware and i'm currently running XXALE8.

I have a sgs3 unbranded bought in Austria I flashed it yesterday with the new UK version firmware because I read that it didn't make any difference.

The CF SU app didn't work so I did the root procedure with the CF-Root v6.2, actually I tried it many times because I couldn't get my phone rooted. Another thing I noticed was ''CSC: unknown'' when you press *#1234#. I flashed it again with the original stock version the xxale8 but I still can't root it nor my apps are working and CSC status is still unknown. Tried also to change the CSC code by pressing *#272*IMEI# but it did't let me do it.Did also a reset but that didn't work out either, and after re-flashing the firmware for several times now Messaging stopped working. I can't sent nor become sms. My phone looks a mess right now.
