Flashing guide

Before You proceed: take a notice, and record your original (in case you are on original stock fw) firmware levels by typing *#1234# and PCODE by *2767*4387264636#. This might be helpful if you want to go back to your original in-box firmware.

Check WHITE-CZ's video tutorial on the boot mode selection hints!

When Android boots up, it's highly recommended to set your CSC via the dialer *#272*_your_imei_# (to see IMEI type *#06# in dialer) -> (it will erase all your data on the phone, but not the SD card)

Known Issues

- DDLA3 :minor CSC file corruption. may cause boot loop after flashing via Odin -> CSC corrected -> full pack replaced
- DXLA1 : 1 report (of 150+ download) on unrecoverable boot loop after flashing - reason unknown
- as of 10th of April I made som
e changes in the firmware pack: files are md5 secured and update packs are wipe versions. It means you suffer "factory reset" by flashing new firmware, but this way there is minimal occurrence of boot loop after a flash.
