that screwdriver-happy lot over at iFixit have cracked into Samsung's Galaxy S3. And what's this they've found hanging about looking shifty? Why, it's the same Sony backside-illuminated CMOS sensor as seen in the Sony Xperia Arc and iPhone 4S. Hi there!

CSC is the list of APN, if you got malaysia CSC (DX letter) the phone will automatically list the APN when you change simcard. no need to manually key in anymore

Samsung firmware version number reference

the last three letters appear on the firmware code or name is the firmware version and follows a naming convention by Samsung which represents the build date and version of the firmware. so you can tell by looking at the firmware code which is a newer one (click here for Samsung firmware code reference list)

for example, I9100XWKI4 is an older firmware, I9100XWKI8 is somewhat newer than KI4 (8 is greater than 4), while I9100XWKK5 is newer than KI8 (K is greater then I), etc. but what is the meaning of these three letters?

actually, for instance, the last three letters of I9100XWKI8 is K, I and 8, represents the year, the month of the firmware was built and the versioning respectively. here is the break down for these letters for Samsung Galaxy SII I9100
- the first letter represents the year
J = 2010
K = 2011
L = 2012
M = 2013, etc

so XWKI8 is a 2011 firmware while XXLA4 is a 2012 firmware
- the second letter represents the month
A = January
B = February
C = March
D = April
E = May
F = June
G = July
H = August
I = September
J = October
K = November
L = December

so XWKI8 is built on September 2011, while XXLA4 on January 2012
- the third letter represent the version
so XWKI4 is the forth version, while XWKI8 is the eighth version and XXKPA is the tenth version (A=10, B=11, C=12, etc)
as a result:
- XWKI8 is built on 2011 (K) September (I) and is the 8th (8) version
- XXLA4 is built on 2012 (L) January (A) and is the 4th (4) version
recently u can find some ICS beta versions leaked like I9100XXLP2, I9100XXLP6, I9100XXLPB, etc. the second last letter P refers to pre-release, beta, test built, development, and the like. and u will now know that, XXLPB is built on 2012 (L), is a test built or pre-release (P), and is the eleventh (B) version
UPDATE 18 May 2012:
looks like Samsung now use the letter P for all ICS firmware
for example:
I9100XXKP4 (2011 December), I9100XXLPH (2012 February), I9100XXLPQ (2012 March), I9100BULPC (2012 April), I9100XWLPD (2012 May)
N7000XXLPY (2012 May), N7000ZSLPF (2012 May)

no details about what the P refers to for now

Added on September 3, 2012, 9:47 pm Samsung firmware code reference

each firmware version consists of 3 parts: phone model, country/region code and firmware version number

for example: I9000XXJVQ
phone model = I9000
country/region code = XX
firmware version = JVQ

I9100ZSKI3 means it is a rom for Hong Kong

it is included in the phone but it is disable, you need to flash this mod

Kies is well known for its un-reliable.
Titanium backup - for your apps and data.
Nandroid backup - for complete whole things (app + data + phone system..etc..). You do Nandroid before flashing custom roms. If anything bad happen during flashing you can restore back to your previous set up by using your Nandroid.

mobile odin can do all that PC Odin do but from your phone, so you dont have to have a pc with you to flash all those odin stuff. get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

1) check for matching IMEI (dial *#06#) with phone and box.

Try to use manual screen brightness instead of automatic, setting it to 50% or below. You can disable wifi and data connection if you're not using it that frequent, turn it on only when you need to use it.Disable all auto syncing will help as well.You can set the sleep timer below the 1min default setting, as this will off the screen earlier and safe some power.Monitor your task manager once in a while to kill off running apps and processes. Using a black background wallpaper will help save power as well because of S.AMOLED screen.

Type *#0011# to open a service menu> options key > wifi > set wifi power saving to OFF.
(NOTE : disabling this may consume more battery. leave it ON unless you're having wifi connection issues)
(NOTE 2: some users have not been able to use this service codes anymore)

NO

If you dont do anything extraordinary from the steps given, then NO

For samsung phones, its a yes and no answer. From terms and conditions, rooting/flashing will void your warranty, but samsung is not strict at all, so far none is heard samsung rejecting rooted phone. but please flash stock firmware before turn in your phone for warranty

Please dont do anything else other than what it is stated there. even though rooting is not dangerous but still dont go and mess around.

CWM is a special recovery for the phone. you need this for installing mod/custom roms. these mod/custom rom will come in .zip and you need to put it in your phone memory. to get the CWM, you need to root your phone using chainfire rooting guide

There is a counter in download mode that will increase when you flash your phone, this will notified samsung that you have modified with your phone.
you can reset this counter by using Triangle Away.

Stock firmware are firmware release by samsung.

Custom roms are community made firmware for the phone, some are based on stock, and some are completely redesigned (CM9/MIUI), custom roms have many added advantages than stock firmware. but there are the risk of unstable roms, you could have from unworking wifi until lagging phone. so always flash roms that are sttable. the main place to look for custom roms is at XDA forum.

You must have CWM in your phone
usually the instruction is given in the 1st post of the custom rom thread.
General way of flashing custom rom:
1. download rom which usually is in .zip
2. put it in your phone storage
3. reboot into CWM recovery
4. choose install zip > install zip from internal storage
5. choose the .zip
6. reboot

it is advisable to factory reset your phone and wipe cache between step 3 and 4

FLASHING A ROM, RADIO OR KERNEL VIA DOWNLOAD MODE USING ODIN

Odin can be used to flash image files or parts of your phone. You can flash something as simple as a boot image or a complete system. Everything is packed in a tar or tar.md5 file on your PC and flashed via Odin which is a Windows OS program.
