	SC CODE MEANING:		<!-- ==== SC CODE MEANING: ====

	For CSC, you might've noticed a different scheme: between the phone model and the release code there are not 2 letters but rather 3, in my case "OXA". This is simply a code explaining from which country and which operator this phone is classified. OXA is supposed to be O2 UK, and I'm using it for SFR France (code should be SFR).

This is simply a code explaining from which country and which operator this phone is classified. OXA is supposed to be O2 UK, and I'm using it for SFR France (code should be SFR).

	~~As a~~ conclusion, this is not harmful to your phone to have a different CSC code than the one you are supposed to use. But if you would like to properly change it anyway, you can do it using the code #272# (if you don't have it, your phone IMEI can be obtained using the code *#06#). The CSC menu is displayed and shows your current CSC and a list to change your phone's CSC.

The CSC menu is displayed and shows your current CSC and a list to change your phone's CSC.

	If you can't find your country code in the list, just choose the X?? version (for France it is XEF), this is for retail code (i.e. not operator branded). But be careful, if you apply a new CSC, it is also a phone factory reset (all your data and settings will be lost).

	Often, SGN users are wondering if using KK1 kernel on a KJ4 ROM or a KKA on a KJ1 will brick their phone. I think people are mislead by Samsung revision numbers more than the real technology behind the letters and numbers. As far as I have seen, ALL ROM kernels are based on 2.6.35.7 or 2.6.35.14 (which includes very very insignificant changes to the Kernel structure, i.e. mainly bugfixes) which would mean that applying kernel on ROM has something like a 99% chance to work perfectly fine and a 1% chance to end in a bootloop which can be avoided by flushing the cache and the dalvik cache.

New page

Firmware and ROM both are the same name, sometimes we call it firmware, sometimes ROM, or sometimes Combination file, in technical language we call ROM / FIRMWARE.

This combination firmware is available only for Samsung Android devices. Also firmware available in Paid Z3X tool

If you have combination firmware, then no need to buy any paid tool to remove FRP lock, resolving the issue of your device.
Simple flash with COMBINATION FIRMWARE, and after that flash via STOCK ROM.

STOCK ROM: is a default firmware, that is built in by device manufacturer. That also can be downloaded from forums or by google it.

Combination ROM Advantages:
* It helps you to repair IMEI number in some models like S7 S7 Edge S6 S6 Edge…
* It's very useful in bypass Samsung account in too many models.
* It's very useful in bypass Google account in too many models.
* It's very useful for downgrade in some models.
* It helps you to enable USB debugging.
* It helps to remove any security FRP / Reactivation Lock from Samsung like 2016-2017
Every time you make a new software update there is a firmware number that appears. If you read it for the first time it seems none-sens. Ok, there is the number of your device but what’s the other part? Well, we will tell you what it means, as you to know what they want to say.

It’s important to know this number, as to know if you got the latest update or which update can have bugs in it. Let’s take an example.
Combination file details, how to check version, date, android version.

Sample: COMBINATION_OXM_FA80_G960FXXU2ARG2

* OXM=CSC build = [OXM]
* FA80=Android version = [Android 8]
* G960F=Phone model = [G960F]
* XXU2= Version and security BIT = [XXU,BIT2]
* ARG2= Date of release and revision = [July 2018, revision 2]
