[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotcruz:
Sorry mate, this is my first Sammy and I am lost.. I thought it was the CSC but everything I have read suggests that I have to root the phone to change the CSC which I don't want to and keep it stock.

Is there anyway to change the CSC without root?

Appreciate your help, please advise (in the meantime I am going through the Basics link you shared)

cheers

MODS, please can this be moved to Q&A section apologies

reread my post, I explained what to do
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanicca:
I had the same problem, for some stupid reason odin sets to KOR. Only way is to root using cf auto root then change csc to btu, apps from Google store, then you can unroot and all will be ok
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Its not odin its the firmware .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotcruz:
that's very useful mate... just one last thing, how did you unroot once you changed the CSC?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Half right, flash any ROM in Odin before ELLA then you can change the CSC without root. In ELLA and above Samsung set it so you need root to change the CSC.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanicca:
If I remember correctly, you open SU, this will be installed when rooted, then click full unroot and its bavk to stock
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meardon:
I flashed the firmware. PDA: I9300XXELL6 CSC: I9300OXFELL1

However the CSC from the recovery menu remained ORO, from the original firmware and Kies told me that it can not provide updates for this firmware. I used "Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC" from the market to change it to COA, as this is the CSC from the carrier the firmware is and now Kies tells me that i have the latest firmware and i can receive OTA updates. The program said it needs root but it worked without the phone to be rooted. Also CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD is NONE and it says official. Try to change the CSC to the one the firmware was taken from.

!!!Keep in mind that after you change the CSC the phone will make a full wipe!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotcruz:
Ok so I used the CF Auto root and then I was able to change the CSC without any problem...

Now as I was going to unroot it by flashing it with the firmware again I noticed that the Device Status was showing as "Normal" instead of "Modified".. I checked the counter and that was showing No aswell..

Any idea? As the phone is rooted

Hey :)

I am just about to get a Note II, so I already bought accesories for it.

Today the "original" flipcover shipped.

So it kinda irritated me when the box was all in chinese but didn't really care for it until I checked the quality of the cover.

So see yourself for the build quality of this one, sharp and "dirty cut" edges, not really smooth, kinda grungy all over.

The typography is sometimes not even filled correctly, so you can see white spots within the letters (as if there was not enough color used to print the typo).

So anyone having the original, could check if this one is fake, as I don't really believe in it being just a "chinese original".

Such crappy build quality from an original Samsung accessory which usually retails at 34,99€ at Samsung? I don't think so...

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
Post # 500. YAY me!

The lettering and earpiece look terrible to me in your pictures, like its been used or chewed on :)

It seems as though the NFC antenna has been removed and replaced before since you can see the creases in the top right corner of the antenna. Also, the plastic molding where the flap on the left side connects to the battery door is different... similar, but different. It may be a different batch and/or a returned product (I see tons of use blemishes), but I say it's a good knock off.

The four flip covers I own all came in perfect condition with perfectly cut earpiece and perfect lettering. They also had the same exact mold lines on the inside of the battery door.

Here you can see the NFC antenna looks different and has a smooth surface, not wavy or bumpy like in your picture, and you can see the plastic mold lines are different then yours where the cover connects to the door.

Here you can see that the ear cutout is precise and the lettering isn't faded at all.

How much did you buy it for?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Gahh Its Lee:
From my understanding thats the packaging fakes come in.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AFAngryWarrior:
Unfortunately I have to agree with Randpost. It's definitely fake. I have the OEM white cover direct from Samsungs website and mine looks exactly like randposts with a weaves pattern in the material and the NFC antenna isn't like your picture. It's a good knockoff though. How much did you pay?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Nayb:
I paid 17€ for it, has been advertised as "original".

So I sent a complaint to the seller and have been refunded all my money, so basically he even offered for me to go to a retail store and send him the invoice, so he will pay the retail price since he said he offered it as original.

But the fake flipcover is still for sell as original, so I don't know if he just tried to satisfy me because he's afraid I could report this to eBay.

But now I ordered an original one directly from amazon for most likeley the same price, but with amazon I am on the safe side.

I don't know what to do with the fake cover tho, since the seller told me to send it back, so I either report it to eBay or send it back to him.

As my Note II has been shipped today, I hope I will have it with me on monday, can't wait :D as I'm using some old samsung E1170 right now, gave away my nexus 4 to my wife :highfive:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yankees45us:
It looks like a real one that just didn't get past the inspection line. At least you don't pay $40. If it is a fake it's a great fake. Most fake ones don't have the nfc chip or the indentation for the home button. I have a fake white one and yours looks alot better. I only paid $4 so that's probably why.

Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
looking at the photo's it's a fake, just looking at the speaker hole, you see it's fake.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xartic12:
No way that is real cover from Samsung, or a defected one.. The jagged edges alone is the red flag but also look how the letters don't run parallel with the bottom of the cover. My white one looks much better built Imo.

At least the seller is being very respectful and giving you no problems. I would report him to ebay as he/she is selling falsely advertised items.. I wish the "gold"batteries would get yanked off as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kat3k:
I got the same case from eBay, only without the NFC contacts, which was my first clue it was fake, but otherwise it was pretty hard to tell. The seller refunded me and said to keep the case. It is amazing how fast Chinese counterfeits come out for popular products, but I guess it's logical, since most of the originals are also made in China (maybe even in the same factory). Usually there's a way to distinguish, especially if you have an original to compare it to, like a slight difference in font size, missing NFC, etc.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
In most cases yes, you are correct, but for samsung product, optional accessories are usually made in korea, with the exception of batteries and power accessories.

From what I gathered, all original S3 and note 2 flip covers are all made in korea.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cal3thousand:
FAKE

I can easily tell by the sub-par plastic in the packaging. Samsung uses a much more rigid plastic and the materials inside do nothing for the structure (they are just a facade)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BarryH_GEG:
It's a knock-off and not a very good one. Look at the shape of the "v" around the speaker on yours and how different it is from the real one.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SenK9:
I bought a $9 imitation flip case from eBay and wasn't expecting too much. Was pleasantly surprised when it was nicely packaged, fit was perfect and the feel and material was very good. On closer inspection, the A in the logo is not as sharp as the original and the plastic is slightly thicker than the original as well.

I've used it now for more than a week and it's slightly scuffed though wear but still holding up well. The NFC works well and I'd recommend it.

Have attached pics and comparison with my original back cover, apologies for the low quality.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pakure:
Knock off flip cases are plenty available here in India. ..they cost 400 rupees (7 $)..... looks and fits okay. .:p:D

Packaging and looks are similar

hey guys ..after installing any mod on my Omega 9.1 Rom...Themes or audio mods which are supposed to be proven for note 2 ...

when i reboot my note 2....before entering to the Enter the PIN....the system updates my App...??

is that right???

plz need help. thx in advance guys.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrorom:
Yes it is normal, don't worry.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
Not normal at ALL.

OP. Boot intoo recovery and select wipe cache and also dalvik cache.

First reboot after this will show the update message. It should not show on the following reboots.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrorom:
Who said anything about "updating on following reboots". As i understood the op got app update message everytime he installed a mod. That is normal.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
I know what you meant. It only happens the one that you refer to if you install an app on system partition. Not all mods should state system updating message.

Usually that is cached memory. So need a good emty :D

hi guys could you help me

i am using Philz Cmw6

and i got to the option.

Philz Setting> Clean Flash for a New Rom> then i reboot

and now my phone is stuck at the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE

help me please
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
I didn't check the option because I do not use Philz Kernel right now. But this option is used for preparing your device before installing a new ROM. So I think you removed the old one with the options but didn't install a new custom Rom, right?

Try to download any Custom Rom here in the forum or a Stock Rom from sammobile.com and install it. Then everything should be ok again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
could you provide me a link and what stock rom should i use/install i am from philippines .

and i rember that i have a build number of DXLR5 at the end..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
On sammobile.com there are three different version (depending on your mobile provider): globe, smart, sun. All with DXLR5.

You can choose and download yourself here (please change the option to the one you need).

More easy: download the right one from Dr. Ketan's thread here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
i need a globe provider i cant see it in Dr. Ketans thread
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
Please: Go to sammobile.com, register, switch to firmware and choose/download the Globe version for the Phils.

I just checked it, it is still there ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
i already see a firmware downloading it :) with 656 MB .

could you give me a step how will i install this in case after I finish downloading
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
No, I will not. Why? Dr. Ketan did this in his thread already and in a much better quality compared to what I would produce here in a few lines. So please scroll a little down in the given link to his thread - you'll even get snapshots of the installation process. Good luck.

DXLR5 and DXLR6
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
DXLR5 on sammobile.com is a complete version, the link to DXLR6 the file from the OTA update (much smaller). You need to install DXLR5.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
hmmm ok thx :) haha 1 hr left till the download is finish :) ill just play AC3 for a while
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Just for the next time. When you use clean for a new rom,

If formats the system and data. That means you are not left with any rom on your device. So it will not boot.

You should have loaded a rom you want to flash in to the phone and installed it after that option you selected.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

And hopefully hot file won't let you down at about 90 %

Also if you have already downloaded a custom rom to flash you can tilldo it by mounting the usb storage from recovery
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
yes sir...

what do you mean by "Also if you have already downloaded a custom rom to flash you can tilldo it by mounting the usb storage from recovery"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
I meant. If you have decided and downloaded a custom rom you want to flash on to your note, you could do it using the recovery after what option you selected.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
ahhhhh ... ill try to follow the steps in Dr. Ketan
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
hmmm what do you think is better to be a File manager?

Aroma or ES File Explorer

and why?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
The first one is a file manager while you are in recovery!

The second one a file manager while your use your device with running Android OS!

So that's like comparing apple with android - two different worlds :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
si its better for me to use ES file explorer because its run in OS its more easy .. rather than AROMA
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
aroma is used for a totally different purpose. its used when you cant boot into the OS and you need to backup or replace some files on the system from recovery. so common file managers are Solid Explorer (best for me), Root explorer, es file explorer..

upto you to choose..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
ahhhh.. okay thank you very much :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
what solid explorer ur using the Trial one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Nope. Bought jt
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
do you download the trial and bought the unlock-er?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Yup. It's one of the best out there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedropenduko:
hey..

what is the difference between the TRIAL and UNLOCK one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
