[Galaxy S III General] alkanbw:
I have got problems with chcanging CSC code in XXELLA rom (insertcoin rom). When I use perka's file CSC.BTU.zip and choose polish XEO - after reboot and restoring backup I was on BTU CSC. I found that someone would like to chcange into ORS code and in result had XEO. So I do tha same - using CMW I tool file XEO.BTU.zip and choose ORS code - in result I have XEO code - just this what I wanted. Why is so ?
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
I can try :)

change CSC will do a factory reset.

I dont dualboot so I have no idea about that.

Custom Recovery as stock dont flash zips that are not signed by samsung.

OXAELLA is the name of the multi csc.

Use the app to check what csc is set, probably KOR.

Maybe, try and let us know.

What is it you restore? data from custom recovery?
[Galaxy S III General] hsimonics:
CSC to ORS III.

Yes, I forgot to write it here - as I flashed the CSC.XEO.zip the installation language was Polish. I'm slovak, so I understand it and I knew complete the install.
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
So now you have the csc you want?
[Galaxy S III General] hsimonics:
no-no-no

It was only to complete the information about flashing CSC.XEO.zip.

I'm waiting for "only ORS".zip to flash ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
By any chance you have the cache.img?

EDIT: got the cache.im will make a zip
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
New zip is up ORS as default

CSC.OXF.ORS.zip has:

EDIT testing a single csc zip ORS

EDIT2:

CSC.ORS.single.zip uploaded has only ORS
[Galaxy S III General] alkanbw:
It doesn't matter. Cause after rebooting i did not restore backup but first check my CSC code. And when I choose ORS after rebooting was XEO. Restored backup have got the same CSC code.

[Galaxy S III General] hsimonics:
Hi Perka.

CSC.ORS.single.zip is working perfect ! Many, many thank's :good:

BUT: Once I play with CSC changing, I tested CSC.OXF.ORS.zip too.

After flashing, the CSC was I9300OXADLJ4, as I started the CSC changer, the Sales code was BTU.

I chose ORS, but after reboot, the CSC was again BTU.

This means that change CSC through multi CSC zip file does not work, just through single zip.

One more note - on your web site are files dated one day ahead. Today's file has tomorrow's date.

Why?

At the end - you helped me with a single CSC, but you'll have to solve it for other countries.

Once again - thank you very, very much for your effort.

Heno
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
thats wierd as it works for many including me :)

Great that u now have your csc.

About the date in stash :p dunno
[Galaxy S III General] hsimonics:
I'm not the only one whom it did not work. Even the guy from Poland has the same issue as me ;)

But, I'm happy now. YES!

ps: i have no-root i cant do this alone :(
[Galaxy S III General] manniakk:
hello again, looks like samsung tightened the security on the xxella rom and there is no way to invoke the csc selector without root permissions or with a secret code. However i think i were able to do it with root permission, can someone give it a try with "root mode" checkbox selected?
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
All in this thread is made as root.

Pls remove tha apk as I dont know what it is and I dont support it.

If you like you can make a new thread and I can link to it in first page.

Thx for posting :)

EDIT: seems to work to change what csc you already have.

Also seems to work if making a single csc zip.

I will make a guide on how to make the zip, when I have time :)

Another possibility is to flash a stock rom with your csc then flash the latest fw you want with mobile Odin and not flash cache.img
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
I have the cache and will make your zip later today.

Also I make a template zip and guide so you all can make your own zips, and share them here :)

hi Perka i have flash your csc for ITV and whit csc selector from market i change csc in ITV reset but csc is Always btu why?? thanks for reply
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
A bit of a mystery :p

But its been reported that if you make a factory reset from recovery you get your csc.

Try and report :)

[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
Look with rootexplorer in system/csc

or call *#1234#
[Galaxy S III General] :
@perka: Would it be sufficient if I just use the cache.img from ROM for my CSC and use the CSC select app to set the appropriate CSC. Correct me if I am wrong, the cache.img contains all the necessary information. Flashing it will get it to the system partition, using the CSC application will select it from the DB and make it the current CSC. Will flashing a cache.img of a different ROM (4.1.1) with a 4.1.2 ROM cause any problems.

Finally, thank you for the well written instruction and the multi CSC zip. I now have 4.1.2 Spain ROM masked as INU! The only trick was to flash CWM after flashing 4.1.2 to flash the multi CSC zip and flash back the stock recovery. Since I use mobile ODIN, it is not a hassle and got it all done in ~15 minutes! If the multi CSC was a odin flashable or if odin could flash a CWM zip, it would be a breeze. Thank you once again.
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
To make a cahce.img with the multi csc, well you probably can make one. Not sure I will tho.

You can use any cache.img you like.

Thx for posting :)
[Galaxy S III General] :
I just flashed 4.1.2 Spain ROM with cache.img from 4.1.1 INU ROM, got INU in CSC by default. Going forward, this will be my recipe for flashing stock ROMs. Once I get 4.1.2 INU rom, will start using the newer cache.

[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
I will make a zip for custom recovery, I am downloading th fw now.

As for the cache.img here is the stock one, dont know if VIA is default : Link soon ;)

As for the zip I will make VIA default and add another CSC, hopefully you can use the CSC changer apps for checking your CSC :)

I have tried to make custom cache.img and it did not work, also making a zip is very fast for me :)

Hope you can use it :)

[Nexus 7 General] uofirob:
I had rooted my Nexus 7 a few weeks ago. It was working great. This morning I was using it, the screen locked, when it came back I had no home, back or switch app buttons on the bottom. I thought that was odd, so I restarted. Now I can't get past the X screen. I've let it run for over 30 minutes and it still won't boot. I went into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik cache. I'd like to try to attach it so I can pull data off my sd card, but I can't get the pc to recognize it as a hard drive. Any suggestions? I'd like to back up what I have on the data portion of the drive just in case it wipes when I flash a new rom to it... other problem is that if I can't get it to be recognized as a device, I won't be able to put the new rom onto the device. Should I just factory reset?

Thanks for your help!
[Nexus 7 General] uofirob:
I was able to get adb pull to work and I'm currently backing up my data from there. I hope a factory reset/flash a new rom will fix it. I'll post what I find out. I really wonder what caused the bootloop.
[Nexus 7 General] RootTheMachine:
A factory reset alone should fix it.
[Nexus 7 General] uofirob:
Unfortunately, the factory reset didn't help. I ended up using adb pull to copy my data to my computer and then I had to flash a rom over it. I even had to sideload the rom as I couldn't find the zip on the "sdcard" area. It was pretty well borked.

On a plus side, I'm running CM now!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaforme:
Did I get a faulty Note II? I am using Light flow and certain colors are not working right. For example pink has a tiny pink dott, the rest of it looks purple/bluish. Orange seems to be comprised of two colors, yellow and green etc... A lot of colors, that are supposed to be different from each other, look the same and all are comprised of blue, purple and some other colored parts. The only colors that really work seem to be blue, red and green. Is it just me? I miss my old Xperia Mini as far as this is concerned...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin74:
Hello experts,

I've bought a Huawei u8860 today but when I try to switch on, it goes automatically ( without push any other buttons ) in recovery mode.

I've tried to wipe and format cache, but once rebooted it goes always in recovery mode. The phone is brand new, unboxed today from a box with security stickers.

I've tried to update software from sdcard with its original firmware but it fails with this error:

-- Install /sdcard/dload ...

update package's ext name error.

E: ota_pre_update error.

Installation aborted

I don't think it is a software problem, but an hardware error. Do you agree?

I need an advice from you: try to flash again o give back the smartphone to the store?

Thank you

Stefano
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincentdecaster:
I think if you download the official firmware from huawei, then put the dload folder on an SD card, then flash it (hold the + - volume buttons and power button in until there comes a screen of installing firmware) then it should be ok.

if not, you can always look at this post

[General Questions and Answers] FuNcY:
Hi Guys,

I want to buy a new Tablet, which is good for gaming. First I decided to the Archos Gamepad, because it's cheap and has controllerbuttons like a psp or any pad of a console. Then, today I saw the Nexus 7, which has a better hardware and is not much more expensive. The tablet would be in use for surfing at home and for gaming at home and at travels. Personally I like the Gamepads design very much, although the nexus is pretty too. Games like Dead Trigger stutters only at the archos one, but not on the Nexus.

Now I don't know which one fits better to me, should I buy the Gamepad because of the Buttons, or the Nexus 7 because of the better Hardware?

I look forward to hear from you:)

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Infekxion:
That's how I ended up with my One X.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cerps:
If you want the BB price, but want to buy from AT&T, check if your credit card has some sort of price protection. My card has it. I just had to call in and they open a claim. You fill out some paperwork and send in the advertisement with the price and they send you a check for the difference up to $250. I'm waiting for my paperwork for the OG right now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] radiometric:
BBUY price match to Amazon $50

Best Buy has a deal right now where you can sign up before Sunday to get a $50 gift card when you upgrade, but they will also price match to Amazon.

I got the price match a few weeks back and got the phone for $50. The $50 gift card would've been nice, but I had to buy before the end of last month for another deal. $50 credit on my AMEX is better than $50 at Best Buy.

tl;dr Best Buy price match to Amazon = $50 plus tax [on unlocked price].
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Best buy makes commission based on how many they sell. So if it is free they make commission only but if it is more they make commission plus the price. The phones are worth 600 so either way your carrier loses money in the short term which is why there are contracts to keep you locked in. Best buy is paid by carriers for giving them 2yr customers.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Sn8kbordin:
Where would I get a best price for an upgrade for OG?

I tried Best Buy and they said they only activate new lines. I'm not sure if I was lied to by a sales rep so they would not waste time on customers with lower commission than activation a new line. Other places have the same attitude. It seems only ATT stores do upgrades and also phones are the cheapest there when you upgrade.

BTW, I am eligible for an upgrade (not early or anything).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whoamanwtf:
Best Buy Mobile employees do not receive commission, and they also do do upgrades so you were lied to or at least misinformed but it wasn't because of commission... Perhaps a misunderstanding or a new employee, but as far as I know Costco is the cheapest right now but Best Buy will match any ones price so Best Buy is always the cheapest if you use price match.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Sn8kbordin:
The question is which stores have good prices on phone upgrades?

(They usually advertise new line prices only and upgrades are more expensive than AT&T store)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whoamanwtf:
When you ask a question try reading the answers already posted before repeating the question BEST BUY IS THE CHEAPEST BECAUSE THEY WILL MATCH ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Sn8kbordin:
OK, but do they do it also for upgrades or just new lines?

Maybe you haven't read my question. ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] swub1:
I got mine at Best Buy and it was an upgrade. So I think its new or upgrade.

If all else fails get mskips galaxy nexus toolkit v10.x, see xda thread or google skipsoft, and let it sort out drivers and adb, it has easy options and a good help section, should get the job done.

Btw if you are having driver issues you should try the driver download pack from samsung official website's manuals and downloads, its a tad under 30mb, run it then reboot computer then plug in gnex and any missing drivers should auto install, be patient, windows is a retard so it may take a coupla minutes:D

But I don't have internet where I'm at currently. I guess it's safe to assume this tool kit needs an internet connection to download files as needed or does it currently have all its needed upon install?
