Basic Information about P7300 firmwares - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

Dears,
I have flashed a new ROM into my P7300 8.9 tab using Odin 1.85 but yet I still don't understand some of the terms,
- What is the pit file? as I could see it is related to the partition, and when using it we are wiping the whole ROM right? is there versions for such file? what I used is p5, is there a newer one? if so, how to find it?
- What is the CSC and Phone files? when we have to use them or not? and how to find the latest versions?
- How to understand the naming in the ROM file? for example on SamMobile,
P7300XWKL4, P7300XWKK4, P7300UTKH6, P7300BVKJ5, and for the CSC, P7300ATOKI1, P7300OXEKK2...
as well in .md5 files
P7300XWKL4_P7300ATOKI1_P7300XXKJ6_HOME.tar
P7300BVKJ5_P7300FTMKJ5_P7300BVKJ2_HOME.tar
P7300XWKL4_P7300ATOKI1_P7300XXKJ6_HOME.tar.md5
what does these names points for?
thanks,

No idea about the pit file, i have never used one.
CSC shows what region it's meant for. I don't care about that.
Build number P7300XWKL4 Says:
Product: P7300
Included languages: XW (there is a table posted somewhere on xda about what languages are included with what letters)
Build year and month: K is 2011 and L is December
File name P7300XWKL4_P7300ATOKI1_P7300XXKJ6_HOME.tar
Build number P7300XWKL4 (already explained above)
CSC version P7300ATOKI1 (where ATO is CSC and KI is year and month)
Baseband version P7300XXKJ6 (not sure about the XX, it seems to always be XX for us and KJ is again year and month)

Many many thanks!
What about the number at the end?

It's just a build number in that month.
For example KL4 is fourth build in December 2011.

[Q] What CSC should I use?

Hi,
I'm flashing to I9000XWJM8 (European Rom) and I don't know what CSC I should pick. I saw this list:
CSC_I9000BMCJH2.rar
CSC_I9000DBTJM1.rar
CSC_I9000HUIHUI.rar
CSC_I9000OLBJG4.rar
CSC_I9000OPSJG1.rar
CSC_I9000OXAJM1.rar
CSC_I9000OXEJM1.rar
CSC_I9000OXXJM1.rar
CSC_I9000TMNJM1.rar
CSC_I9000XEEJM1.rar
on you filesharing server (https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...JM7, XWJM8, XWJM9 and BOJI1/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU)
My current firmware is:
PDA: I9000XWJM2
Phone: I9000XXJM1
CSC: I9000NEEJM1
I am flashing my firmware via Odin and I've chosen the following files:
PDA = CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar.md5
PHONE = MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5
.PIT = s1_odin_20100512
CSC = ???
I am aiming for the Tayutama Edition for my phone, so any comments on my chosen firmware is much appriciated aswell.
Thanks!
I just read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780867&highlight=CSC+choice
Which says that I should pick the "CSC_I9000XEEJM1.rar" one since I am from Denmark and the post states that it is for nordic countries.
So should this be my choice or are there alternatives for nordic countries? If there are, which ones and what is the difference?
Any1 got any comments ??
JohnTheOne, please use the infamous "edit" option for posts, instead of triple posting...
EEJM1 is the same as the one you are using now. It will work fine. Technically you don't even need to flash the csc but do it anyway just to be thorough.
Don't forget to do a factory rest after flashing

[Q] Kies Firmware update problem

Hello all,
I have tried to search regarding this issue but did not get any real clear answer to have to solve the problem.
When I check for new firmware for my Galaxy tab 8.9 (GT-P7300) in Kies it says: your device does not support software upgrading via kies
I have had different firmwares in my tab latest ICS_CM9, but I tried to restore original firmware with Clockwork_Recovery_5.5.0.4
But somehow my backup does not seam to be approved by Kies.
When my tab was brand new I wrote down the info from About and this is the data:
Model Number: GT-P7300
Android Version : 3.1
Baseband Version : P7300XXKHC
Kernel version : 2.6.36.3 [email protected]#1 SHP PREEMPT fri Sep 2 16:00:16 KST 2011
Build number : HMJ37 P7300XWKI1
Also could someone from that data say what country model this Tab is supposed to be, I live in Finland (and its bought here) but I don´t get it to add up ...
Any ideas how to get kies to approve my firmware? Soon ICS will be released by Samsung and I like to test the official version. And to do that I probably need to have kies up and running.
This as I like to do it official way , and not true Odin ...
You need to reflash stock firmware, and remove root if you are rooted. Then kies will work.

I now tried to reflash stock firmware to something i thing was same version as I had from the beginning (http://hotfile.com/dl/145798475/58cc500/P7300XWKI1.zip.html).
I also removed root rights and put back stock recovery, but now kies don't even see what software version i have on my Tab. current software version is blank.
Any more ideas ?
Install app name check fus, it tell you tab product code.
Download lastest stock rom from sammobile.com by select the match version of rom with your product.
Samsung Kies will upgrade only if you have right version of match firmware and product code.
cheers

Thanks for this info, learned some more but still no luck as sammobile.com don't seam to have my product codes firmware?
Product code was : GT-P7300UWANEE
Any ides for download place ?
Firstly, Odin is the official way. Samsung service centers use Odin to flash firmware on devices. If official ICS will be released, I'm sure we will get a Odin flashable .tar long before the update will show up in Kies for your Nordic tab. So i don't see the point in worrying about Kies, infact i have never used Kies to update any of my Samsung devices. I just don't trust this crappy software.
If you still want to locate your stock rom then send me a PM, i believe i can help you.

What does PDA, CSC mean? which firmware to choose

Hi all,
I have just bought me a galaxy note with 2.3.6 firmware,
And i wonder what does the PDA and CSC mean in the firmware upgrade to ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I don't really understand which firmware to choose...
I want to choose 4.0.4 but dont know which one.
I am currently using :
model number GT-N7000
android version: 2.3.6-mobile-star
baseband version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4CL886827
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
What is my PDA?
What is my CSC?
What is PAD?
What is CSC?
Which firmware can i choose?
What is the difference between all the firmwares?
Thanks in advance
PDA represent your build version
e.g your current build is Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6, then PDA version of your ROM is XXLA6
again XX represend for countries, XX means it is for europian country
If suppose your build info contain DDLPA, then DD represens for India and PDA version is LPA, means that ROM is for India
Same way CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234#
again first two digits represents country and last three represents release time.
But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)
Latest ICS is LRK for germany, you can use that too.
I see

Thanks for the reply dr.ketan now i understand something!
Just to make the picture complete:
when i dial *#1234# i get:
PHONE: N7000XXLPT - what that means?
CSC: N7000EULA1 - what that means?
I understand that because my phone uses PDA with XX i can use any EuropeanROM ?
Thanks a lot!
backup your efs first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606012
you need root for that you can get that by following dr ketans guide in sticky section developement.

you can update to any rom any time, just follow dr ketans thread and follow pc odin route
Updating throught Kies/ota is tricky, you need pcode sometimes of the country rom you want to go to, no root, and csc of that countries rom, and a whole stock rom installed for that csc. Best to just always follow pc odin route lol
also read stickies and threads fully cause a lot messed up by not doing that. One tip on ics do not wipe/factory reset
happy reading and searching

Ps: cf root kernwl for lrk not available, use lrg instead of that.
Or use custom kernel like speedmod

CWM and battery
I have rooted the N7000XXLRK successfully.
You mean that i can not install CWM application on that firmware?
So how do i backup the whole phone without CWM?
And another question:
i want to see the battery percentage on the upper bar and not only the battery icon indication, how do i do that? is that possible?
Thanks,
best, not to use cwm on a kernel that can trigger the emmc brickbug, best to use kernel like speedmod k3-11 or likewise which has the trigger for emmc brickbug disabled when doing anything in cwm, or in ics.
Dont wipe, factory reset, change csc, or delete large files on a stock ics kernel
to eliminate these issues read threads/first posts of kernel threads btw.
tip: use kernels based on tw, or stock for stock ics, kernels based on cm9 or other are not for stock..
tip2: when nandroid backup, and wanting to recover that, you need same kernel installed as when backup was made. So use a safe kernel
tip3 when recovering apps and data on different roms, issues can arise due to different database structures, which is why its not really supported on i.e. cm9
tip 4 Some roms are wipe some are not. when going to and from gb and ics stuff could linger, which could cause softbricks. There are clean ways to go to and from, enought threads on that's but always do it on safe kernel whatever wipe action

Download ur stock rom and extract the cache. img file from it. install this cache. img using pc odin selected in the csc tab
if you made efs backup with working ota, restore it, if you didnt, check if:
no custom parts installed (kernel)
Or parts that didnt come with same stock rom version (e. g. if you changed modem)
Or if your pcode is different.
pcodin is faster lol

Thanks for the explanation, but what do the letters PDA actually stand for?
(And please don't say "Personal Digital Assistant," because that's all I can find and I've been searching all day.) :fingers-crossed:
I'm sure it must mean something else when it is being used in a discussion of Android mobile phone software.
Does anyone know what "PDA" actually stands for, what are the actual words represented by that abbreviation?
Thanks in advance for your help.
CSC and Google Play App
I've tried a lot of ROMs. Some ROM makes impossible to install applis from Google Play Store. For example when using the Sweet V5 ROM, I cannot get Firefox nor Chrome from the market. It says my Galaxy Note is incompatible. Do you have any idea of CSC management ?

it seems that the numbers are for a slightly different version
N7000XXLPY---4.0.3/12.05---N7000OXALPY---Download---Open Germany
i had problems for months and months and finally my note had not crashed for over a week
i would like to root it soon but would like my version as a lifesaver should i need to revert back
would like the version i specifically named...
This shud be same b'coz baseband number is not mentioned in that list
first is ROM version (PDA) second is CSC
You can check your CSC by *#1234#, if it same as mentioned on ROM listing(N7000OXALPY), then it is same, which you are looking for.

My PDA is T813XXE0APC8 i searched everywhere but unable to find the same, which stock firmware i can use instead of above mention PDA. i have downloaded the firmware according to region which is DBT-T813XXU1APG2
can i use this one.
Secondly when i check through Droid Info it shows me some weird build number. Below is what its exactly shows
Model = SM-T813 (gts210vewifixx)
Baseband = Not available
Build number = gts210vewifixx-eng 6.0.1 MMB29M T813XXE0APC8 test-keys
i don't understand which firmware is installed in this tab. can anyone tell me?
Thanks in advance....

You don't need to install the exact build. Updates are posted regularly which changes the build number. As long as it's for your region just flash.
The one above is correct.
