[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
i want to confirm my theory after visiting sammobile .what does kies icon mean ?? maybe it,s kies friendly or something like that ...as in the picture

as the uae firmware here has a grey icon ...if i flash with a firmware with colored kies icon will that be the answer to my prob. ??

found this in sammobile fourm same (q) the answer was

{When KIES is activated the firmware is also on Samsung KIES (official way).} .... is that it ??
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
No,

Highlighted icon of kies means currently online/kies version for respect country.

Grey icon means, still not available on kies or old version.

If UAE version is grey then it means that rom still not available and Kies won't understand and will give you msg, your rom is not upgradable with kies or something

Try once flashing egypt rom with csc (if your existing rom is from egypt) tab in odin

Then see I'd kies recognize it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
is it better to install the firmware from mobile odin or pc odin ??

i have noticed that mobile odin chnaged the csc from egy to xsg ... will revert to egy an tell u ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
There should npt have any difference regularly.

Mobile odin is good option to flash individual component. But basically here device reaction is weired so nothing is predictable try both. but as i said earlier such type of case i have seen and no perfect solution still i have found.

Flashing with CSC in most cases works fine, if that solution doesn't work then really difficult to say,
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
flashed teh egy rom from mobile odin (still xsg ) then falshed through pc odin (csc tab ) and still xsg ?????

changed the csc by (galaxy s/s2/s3 csc changer ) now it's (EGY) ...nothing still stupid kies read it as (xxx)

Good find, at least we have now reason why it happening. still helpfull if one have EFS backup.

Have you confirm with check fus you have same error with product code?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Hi, I was just wondering how to find out which is my original region with which phone shipped? I flashed updates like twice, for different regions and am not sure which is original (should be germany or austria)... right now I'm using polish or french ROM (can't remember which one I flashed) :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Open kies - tools - firmware upgrade and initialisation.

That option will flash your device according S/N you have, so will be same like it was shipped. AFAIK that will wipe your device so make backup first.

S/N you can find in devie setting OR back of device ,beneath battery.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Any other way? I don't want to flash it, just to know in case I need it :)

there is another way to get product code, i am not sure that way it get change but you can try

-connect device to PC, start kies, minimize

-Start-Run -Type regedit, it will popup window

then go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\# here in one of folder, you can see product code

try changing there.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
No don't post that, AFAIK it contains IMEI and can be edited with hex editor.

I think If you have previous EFS backup that only can be save from this, at least for now.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
the weird thing that's driving me mad i took the efs backup with the tool from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32431550

my phone was working no prob ..... and when i installed the firmware it read my csc as (afr) and wouldn't update .. i read somewhere that was efs prob. so i restored my backup ... and here i am ever since i am stuck with xxx ..

stil trying with unlocksamsung . but i am facing the same error on 2 different pc with 2 different isp ...

-------------------------------------

after alot of trial and error i found out that it was conflicting with eset nod32.....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
got the SRS Samsung Remote unlock client to ork .. it had a conflict with nod32 ....

i write the product code but nothing happens still not reading any product code ...

i was wondring if i could extract the efs.img backup i have to check on the nv_data.bin inside it ...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
i got my brothers (nv_data.bin) and placed it in my phone (while removing the sim card) .. everything is ok and looks promising .. all i want is to change his imei to mine and i think that would solve it all ...

how do i change the imei .. ???
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
That needs hardware

But remember if you run both device, your current imei gets banned too.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanDS:
I am bumping this old thread as I am having same kind of problem.. Tried everything. But kies says my csc as xxx. OTA works perfectly.. Tried different region ROMs. But no use.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
i still have the same problem .. just used to living with it .. the key to solve it if some can write the product code to nv_data.bin without getting rejected from the phone

i tried some simple steps all failed the log says cracking detected and end up with no product code AGAIN
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mietens:
any solutions ...me too having same problem
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
just bumping the post .. may someone would notice this dilemma ....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
I think without proper EFS you can't, you have to stay with Odin.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanDS:
I have proper EFS backup which was taken when Kies was recognizing my phone properly. But still it's of no use. The problem remains same after restoring it.

Now we have to use either OTA or ODIN... No more Kies...

Still hoping that someone would come up with a solution in future... :rolleyes:

I'm facing the same problem on my I9300 Galaxy S3 International version

when i hit *#1234#

it showsme that my csc is I9300OJVALE9

and in kies it's (XXX)

HELP ! :'(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Install check fus and look for product code, does it shoes inactive?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
i also have old efs backup (restoring it .. got me into this miss ) it's in .img format is there a way to extract it ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanDS:
Yes... Check fus says product code "Not Active"...

*#1234# says :

AP: N7100XXDMG1

CP: N7100DDDMG1

CSC: N7100ODDDMG1
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
You needs efs backup that you created when device have active product code.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanDS:
I have that. I have restored it too. But no use.. Still same...

EDIT :

I downgraded from MG1 to MC3... I lost the mobile network...

Then I rooted my phone... Restored the efs backup which I had taken around 6 months ago(at that time it was detected well by kies)

I got the mobile network back.. Reset my flash counter and unrooted the device.

But still Kies showing XXX... In Recover mode its showing "Applied the CSC code : INU"

So I believe that it has to do with something else.. Not with the EFS...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
What is format of backup?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanDS:
Its efs.img taken using the script published here in the forum..

And one more thing, OTA works fine... I got OTA notification to upgrade from MC3 to MG1 and it got updated successfully.

Kies and Checkfus are still not able to identify the code.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
It's only efs issue and chances are there it was broken before you made backup.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DXyuyu:
So at the end how to fix it?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdlq456:
Hey I'm sorry to bring back this thread but this problem is driving me crazy.

I've done everything to put my N7100 back to stock. I have:

Stock 4.1.2 from my country (PSN)

CSC on *#1234# correct

Device status: Normal

OTA seems to be working fine

On download mode: No - Official - Official

Everything seems perfectly stock.. except for Kies, where I get the message "your firmware is not supported... " and CSC is XXX. Product Not Active on CheckFus.

I tried everything. I have a lot of EFS backups, the first one done a few minutes after the first root, and restoring them gave me no solution.

Please, if someone can give me any help I'll be very grateful

Thanks in advance.

I was about to change my phone number through my carriers website yesterday but in reading the confirmation screen, it said that phone would perform factory reboot.

My phone is rooted w/ bl-unlocked.

Questions:

How will this factory reboot affect my phone?

How "off grid" is my phone REALLY? As far as the whole rooted thing goes?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolloser:
If you are bootloader unlocked then you should have nothing to worry about!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
Root cannot be removed by a factory reset if it was rooted correctly.

SU will stay and will still work.

Settings are wiped nothing is installed or removed.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triplexdoubledadevelopers:
What do you mean by "off grid"? A hardware number identifying your phone is still sent to the carrier and this is mated with your SIM card serial number. In terms of anonymity you aren't gaining anything by having a rooted phone.

Hello,

What with several tablets, and now phones (eg: HTC One, Samsung S4) having IR emitters, is there any app which works like the TV-B-Gone (can not link as of yet)?

I've looked through the market and done a bit of research but have not found anything.

Peel Smart TV is rather slow and indirect.

An app which is just one or two buttons, press it, cycles the codes..

This thread purpose is to report a small bug that may help us, the community, to reward with more thanks our few developers.

Hey guys,

Recently I have tested what happens if press the thanks button from my xda premium app and this actually works, when I reach my limit of thanks I still can give thanks from the app even if the app will report that I can't give thanks anymore. You can check this by yourself:

1) reach the thanks limit

2) find thankless post

3) press thanks button from your phone

4) check the site from your pc because xda app won't recognize your thanks too soon but if you check the site you'll actually see the thanks you've just pressed on your phone.

So the conclusion is: Go on and press the thank button for every developer you see, they deserve it.

We Present To You Universe S4

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZCj3XGF.jpg[/IMG]​

RULES

1. I am not updating this rom everyday.. We all have life besides XDA.

2. Don't ask for ETA, this is rude and offensive. When it is done it is done.

3. Custom Roms come without warranty. They are tested before release but something always can go bad. So if you broke your phone or you got fired because the alarm didn't go off - I am not responsible.

4. Don't compare ROMs. It is rude and offensive for developers. If the other rom has what you need, use that ROM.

5. Don't Kang my work. You may fool everyone else but I will know! If you want to use something just ask!

6. If you like my work, a five star thread rating and hitting the thanks button motivates me. :)

7. No flaming! We have all been a NoOb before. We are here to help each other.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM

before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if

you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
