ICS... CSC are you eligible for an update?

[jacomo16]

i run the follow SimpleUpgradeTool for SCH-R760 Generic on my phone galaxy S2 GT-i9100T it starts the upgrade but in the middle the install had been corrupted. now the phone is stuck .someone can help me to re-live my phone Thanks

 

[ironass]

Orange carrier have released an update for the GT-i9100P variant... to ICS, Android 4.0.3!

FTM = FRANCE (Orange) :stickyman:



(Still no update, currently, for any, "P", variant to Jelly Bean)

The CSC on my phone is I910OXXLPH. The XX is actually there, not a placeholder, and the O is not my mistake, it has O rather than 0 on the CSC version listing (although it has 0 as you would expect on the PDA and phone versions).
So this seems to be a generic CSC, non country-specific.
Also the letter O where it should be a number looks suspicious. Is this an official Samsung release? Or does it mean that the company I bought it from flashed it themselves using a leaked or pre-release version? If so it looks as if I will never be able to update. And what will be the position if I have a repair under guarantee?

Hello and welcome to Android Forums TodeW!

The CSC on my phone is I910OXXLPH.

Please re-check that CSC code, as I believe you will find it is...

i9100OXXLPH

So this seems to be a generic CSC, non country-specific.

Correct.

Is this an official Samsung release?

Yes

And what will be the position if I have a repair under guarantee?

As per post #1, if this is the original code that your phone was issued with... then, no problems.

It actually has an upper case I to start although the difference seems subtle.

Thanks very much, pleased to hear it.

It might have been helpful if you had mentioned all this in your original post!

All you need to do is to download from SamMobile, the firmware of your choice and flash it via Odin, as described in my previous post.

If your carrier is PAK then you will need to enter i9100OJV into SamMobile for the search. If not, enter i9100ODD for a range of firmwares.

 

[Aazim]

yes i have downloaded the firmware file for my country. so i am on gingerbread 2.3.5. i dont know whether my phone is factory unlocked or locked to a specific carrier. my phone is not rooted and this i am only saying on the basis of root checker application on play store. so will upgrading lock my phone? will any mistake brick my phone?

Try a different carriers sim carrd in it and see if it works.

If your phone has previously been unlocked, then just changing the firmware can cause it to become sim locked again.

will any mistake brick my phone?

It should not, if done properly and correctly. However, there are no cast iron guarantees I am afraid. The choice... is yours!

Thank you for your help. as u said to try it with different sim card, i would like to give you a brief description that i have not bought this phone from samsung or by any carrier on contract basis. i have bought a second hand phone. every sim in pakistan is working on this phone and i dont know whether it has been unlocked before or not.

can you please tell me how can i check whether it is officially unlocked or not? i have tried dialing *#SIMLOCK# (*#7465625#) and the details are :

PERSONALIZATIOB STATUS

NETWORK LOCK [OFF]
NETWORK SUBSET LOCK [OFF]
SP LOCK [OFF]
CP LOCK [OFF]

so i suppose it is officially unlocked.
and also i dont know the current version of android belongs to which country.
so i want to change that version to pakistan and also want to upgrade to jelly bean.

and my confusion is whether i can upgrade to pakistan version of jelly bean or not?

That just tells you that it is unlocked now and nor whether it was locked before.

Jelly Bean = Android 4.1.2

Latest firmware for OJV = XWLSD (carrier branded firmware for users of Paktel/Zong)

Latest firmware for ODD = XWLST (unbranded)

Jelly Bean = Android 4.1.2

Thank you for your response.. just 1 more thing. the file i have downloded is
I9100XWLSD_I9100OJVLS6_I9100XXLS8_HOME.tar.md5
and according to you i can only use zong carrier with this version?
As i am a user of TELENOR pakistan so which firmware should be best for me?

And also please tell me how did you know that OJV is a carrier branded firmware for users of Paktel/Zong??

 

[Aazim]

I have searched for the ODD = XWLST FILE in sam mobile bt unfortunately there is no firmware for my country pakistan except OJV firmware. What should i do now?

You could Google and see what JB firmwares other Galaxy S2 users in your country are running.

You can either...

1. Update your existing Polish firmware to i9100OXAMS1

or

2. Flash the Indian, unbranded, firmware i9100ODDLSE

or

3. Flash the Bangladesh, unbranded, firmware i9100ODDLSE

All of them will work on the i9100.

Choices 2 and 3 will give you the language packs that you will probably require.

Alternatively, you can take your phone to the nearest mobile phone shop and ask them to flash it for you.

As you said i can flash to indian or bangladesh i will do it tonight. Is there no unbranded firmware for pakistan?? And after flashing will i be able to use any network in pakistan? And also will i get any future updates by samsung officially?

The second option u suggested to go to mobile shop is too expensive. They charge thousands of rupees to upgrade the firmware and i am not in any mood to waste my money that is why i wont be opting this option.

 

[ironass]

No... otherwise I would have mentioned it!

And after flashing will i be able to use any network in pakistan?

You should be able to if your Polish firmware already connects OK

And also will i get any future updates by samsung officially?

No! See the disclaimer in #1.7 of the Dummies Guide.

Let me know how you get on. I'll have a look when I get back from my 6 month vacation to Pitcairn Island.

Ok i am downloading the bangladesh version. and will flash it tonight on my s2. thanks for your help. i will post my result as soon as i am done. hopefully with updating and not bricking. i am a bit nervous.. hooh.. A BIGGGGGGGGGG THANKS TO YOU IRONASS..

 

[Aazim]

and also ironass is this the official firmware by samsung? and will the odin process will also root my phone? or i have to root it after flashing the firmware?
