FIRMWARE NAME DECODE

Warning: Don't Do This For Fun... could make your phone a nice paper weight..... use only if NEEDED.... I'm not responsible for any mistakes.... The Risk is YOURS!!!

PIT Info:
Changing PIT file (repartitioning ROM) will not affect mobile phone's speed.
PIT files will repartition the mobile phone's ROM (Read-Only Memory). Changing (repartitioning the ROM area) will modify only the space trade between the /system and /dbdata.

What is CSC?
CSC = Country Sale Code

CSC code depends on the region where the phone was sold.
CSC contains the phone settings (internet, wap, mms...), specific applications which available in certain regions, and operator customizations.
CSC code could be changed by flashing a new firmware (including CSC file) on phone. That will change phone language and settings.
Use *#272*IMEI# code on phone to view the list of the available CSCs, or change CSC. (Changing CSC will erase the phone!)


Lets Get Started..

1. Install Samsung USB drivers (in most cases already installed)..
2. Enter Download mode by pressing Volume down, OK and power buttons at the same time. Phone will start in Download mode.

3. Press Volume Up..
4. Connect phone to USB cable. (Windows will install if needed).
5. Run Odin Software


6.If repartition is needed, Press PIT button to select .pit file. (Choose The Correct one for your phone internal memory size 16 or 32 GB)



7. Flash Bootloader If Needed, Enable Phone Bootloader Update then press Bootloader button to select bootloader file (filename: KERNEL_... .md5). (Important: Changing / flashing wrong bootloader could damage the phone!)


8.Press PDA, then select PDA file (filename: CODE_... .md5).


9. Press PHONE, then select PHONE file (filename: MODEM_... .md5)


10.Press CSC, then select CSC file (filename: ...-CSC-... .md5).


11. Verify Odin software recognize phone. When the phone is recognized, ID:COM is highlighted in yellow Note: the number can vary(if not repeat steps 2.)


12.Press Start button to begin flashing procedure.


13. Wait a few minutes flashing procedure to complete, This Can Take Some Time.... Plz Be Patience.....
Once Completed PASS! will appear on the upper left corner, and it will be highlighted in green.

.pit file

.PIT file is used for full flashing method, this is only advisable and useful for reverting back to original firmware when previously installed unofficial ROM or to fix softbricked devices like unable to boot normally.

I hope not to be OT in this thread and sorry for my bad english.
I would like to ask a question about the recovery / download mode.
It is necessary that the device is turned off before using the specific combo? (vol. up/down + home + power)
Can I go into recovery mode even when the terminal is already on?
If not, why?

Thanks in advance

You need to switch off first, otherwise it will just bootloop rather starting in recovery.

Are you asking if you can go into Recovery or Download mode when your phone is on,ie,w/o switching it off?
Yes you can.For recovery mode press up volume+home+power(strangely enough any combo works.power+home+volume but keep them pressed till the phone reboots and you see the Samsung GT-N7000 logo then u can let go.
For Download mode press down volume+home+power(again in any combo)

Hope i answered your question :D

I already tried going into recovery mode with the phone turned on without bootloop problem!

I'd like to know if this is a correct procedure or not, because there are people who say they can usually do.

Lots of people have bricked their phone while repartitioning and using PIT.
I would say read carefully when you try it.

If I ever get superbricked I'd just kill it with Angelom test kernel or if I want to return to clean state - I'd flash any safe kernel - perform factory reset, format system partition and sd card then flash latest stock firmware available for my region.

Reboot into recovery and wipe cache and data.
