Firmware naming conventions[edit]

Example[edit]

Firmware C3222XXJK6; CSC C3222OXEJK4 
"C3222" refers to the mobile phone (Samsung GT-C3222 Ch@t 322),
"XX" / "OXE" means the region and language package
"JK4" / "JK6" refers to the firmware date and release (2010 november rel.4).

Parts of the firmware name[edit]

1. Mobile phone name (could be: E250; E250D; C3222; C3222W...)

2. Two or three letters. (The firmware files has two letters, the CSC files has three.) Those letters refers to the region / language pack of the firmware file.

3. Two letters which refers to the release date of the firmware.

4. One number (sometimes a letter) which refers to the release version of the firmware.

1. Mobile phone name[edit]

The name of the samsung firmwares starts with the mobile phone name. This is one letter then 3 or 4 numbers, than in some special cases, one letter. For example the Samsung SGH-E250 mobile phone's firmware starts with E250 so it looks like this: E250XXXXY (X are the letter codes and Y is the number), and the Samsung SGH-E250D firmware looks like this: E250DXXXXY. So, in that case the firmware name has one more character.

In order to determine the mobile phone, erase the last 5 characters from the end of the firmware. Then You will get the exact mobile phone name. Please keep in mind that the CSC files has one more charcter: You have to remove the 6 characters from the end of the firmware, because of the extra "O".

2. Region code[edit]

The next two or three characters are the region codes, those codes determines the region and language of the phone and the user contents. The firmware files has two characters region code, while the CSC files has three.
