----- SHORT DECLARATION -----
PDA refers to the build version of the firmware
Phone refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
• The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
• .tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
• .tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
If this is the case you will need to put these .tar archives in the specific areas of Odin to flash the update
Quote:
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the official firmware.
Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray! Kies doesn't like Odin, it's like the big brother who's always jealous that his little brother is getting to flash all the phones so he starts to flash block.
Regarding change logs. Samsung thinks firmware should be like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get and that all a big part of the surprise user experience program so they don't publish any change logs.

Get -->Odin3+v1.85<--
Just extract Odin folder and keep the odin3.ini file in it.]
----- [GUIDE] METHOD 1 -----
Quote:
----- FLASHING WITH ODIN v1.85 -----
1. Just download the firmware version you want from the second or third posts and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. PLEASE DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Should look like this screenshot:
If the package contains 3 files it should look like this:
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
7. Click start to flash
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes.
Quote:
It will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended
You will lose root if your device was rooted!!
In case to fulfill warranty requirements you need a clean installed firmware.
The best way to do that is installing the right firmware wich at the same time unroot your device.
----- [GUIDE] METHOD 2 -----
Quote:
----- FLASHING WITH MOBILE ODIN PRO -----
Quote:
----- SHORT INTRODUCING -----
Quote:
Mobile ODIN - Full firmware flashing straight from the device itself!
Mobile ODIN is the on-device firmware flasher of choice. Just throw those firmware files on your (internal or external) SD card, start Mobile ODIN and flash away.
!!! Your device must be rooted to be able to use Mobile ODIN. Check the list below to see if your device is supported !!!
If you use the EverRoot option, Mobile ODIN will root the firmware while you flash it. Checking out that new leaked firmware? No reason to lose root!
Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear.
All partitions are supported, as are loose files, .tar files and .tar.md5 files. Mobile ODIN will even check the MD5 signatures before flashing. While in theory Mobile ODIN can repartition and flash EFS and bootloaders, it will cowardly refuse to do so, for your own safety.

[Q]What means 1st STAGE...2nd STAGE... ?
Quote:
Well the explanation of 1st stage.... 2nd stage.... is easy and logical
1st stage: Gets every firmware wich is 1st time released on each android system that means for exapmle: HC, ICS and next is JB
2nd stage: Gets every firmware (this is CSC based) wich is already released and gets a update on each android system that means for exapmle: HC, ICS and next is JB ( just like the ATO firmware ). This will continue for firmwares with 3rd stage etc. until the next Android system is released for this device and that currently JELLY BEAN

CSC codes represent the locale settings, apps, etc for a specific country, region, or even carrier. for example, TYG is the official code for Hong Kong, with default locale set to Traditional Chinese, timezone set to GMT+8 and come with some localized apps for Hong Kong.
And since there is no carrier specific CSC - so they dont have other CSC code, while in England for instance, there are branded or specific carriers CSCs
However, the CSC used are not necessarily bound by your country, region or carrier.
I am in Germany and got a Hong Kong device so the official CSC should be TYG, but on my device i installed the P6800XXLA3 Firmware wich CSC is ATO and now i can get OTA updates over Network and Kies from Austria .

Question and Answer

[Q]Are busybox and superuser is inclueded? [Answer] - Yes
------------------------------------------------------ [Q] Are busybox and superuser upgradeable? [Answer] - Yes, just read this post
------------------------------------------------------
Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) is a protocol used by GSM cellular telephones to communicate with the service provider's computers. USSD can be used for WAP browsing, prepaid callback service, mobile-money services, location-based content services, menu-based information services, and as part of configuring the phone on the network.
USSD messages are up to 182 alphanumeric characters in length. Unlike Short Message Service (SMS) messages, USSD messages create a real-time connection during a USSD session. The connection remains open, allowing a two-way exchange of a sequence of data. This makes USSD more responsive than services that use SMS.
Uses
The user composes a message—usually rather cryptic—on the phone keyboard. The phone sends it to the phone company network, where it is received by a computer dedicated to USSD. The answer from this computer is sent back to the phone. The answer could be seen on the phone screen, but it is usually with a very basic presentation. The messages sent over USSD are not defined by any standardization body, so each network operator can implement whatever it finds suitable for its customers.
USSD can be used to provide independent calling services such as a callback service (e.g. cheaper phone charges while roaming) or interactive data service (e.g. stock quotes, sports results).
USSD is commonly used by pre-paid GSM cellular phones to query the available balance. The vendor's "check balance" application hides the details of the USSD protocol from the user.
USSD can also be used to refill user's money balance on phone (SIM card to be exact).
Some payment methods, such as Airtel Money in India, SharEpay, WING in Cambodia, SWAP Mobile in South Africa, Mobipay in Spain, M-Pesa in Tanzania (but not in Kenya, where M-Pesa menus are provided by STK rather than USSD), and mPay in Poland use USSD.
Some operators use USSD to provide access to real-time updates from social-networking websites like Facebook and Twitter.
Technical details
All GSM phones have USSD capability. It is generally associated with real-time or instant messaging services. There is no store-and-forward capability, as is typical of other short-message protocols like SMS—in other words, an SMSC is not present in the processing path.
USSD Phase 1, specified in GSM 02.90, only supports mobile-initiated ("pull") operation. In the core network, the message is delivered over MAP. USSD Phase 2, specified in GSM 03.90, supports network-initiated ("push") operation as well.
Format
A typical USSD message starts with an asterisk (*) followed by digits that comprise commands or data. Groups of digits may be separated by additional asterisks. The message is terminated with a number sign (#).
Example USSD codes:
*101#
*109*72348937857623#
After entering a USSD code on a GSM handset, the reply from the GSM operator is displayed within a few milliseconds.
