I have been using Galaxy S Vibrant (with front camera) from Bell Canada. My only complaint is it did not come with a default chinese handwriting software.
I want to be able to write (not type in pinyin), and I know the asian model of Samsung Galaxy S have it built-in.
My Question:
1. Is it safe to modify my rom to Asian rom? If so, will any other application/setting be screwed?
2. If I decide to switch back to Canadian stock rom? Can I?
3. Where I can d/l the official stock rom and the asian rom?
I have an asian SGS 9000 and I was wondering if I can flash it with the latest european firmware?
Thank you.
Go ahead, minor difference in bundled applications, system languages and APN settings, been using euro firmwares in asian sets for quite a while...
U guys use xxjm8?
Is it good? No bugs?
If use voodoo, is it fast enough ( i got 180 apps installed)?

its safe UNLESS you have a Korean SGS (Anycall phone) then DONT DO IT! For some reason they brick. I havn't looked into it as I had no need but faqs mention not to do it.
I have an SGS 9000 from singapore singtel. Not the korean "anycall" version. : ) Lucky : )
Why do you want European firmware? You live in Asia and be happy. You don't need Europe.

If you want OTA or updates over Kies you need to install the proper Rom for your country.
You can find here

iirc, german models were one of the fastest to get updates.
more importantly, tell us which version your device is currently running. if its already on the latest version then its pointless to waste time swapping regions and wiping your device.
its the latest for now
android 2.3.6
baseband xxlb2
kernel xxlc1

I have a GT-I9305T (Telstra Version) currently running CM10.1, I would like to unroot the phone and return it to factory original stock...
1) can I flash a stock i9305 or does it have to be a i9305T based ROM? - where can I get these?
2) should I run triangle away in CM10.1 then flash the stock ROM, and run SU to unroot?
3) after all that is done I still have CWM right? how do I return that to stock?
THANKS IN ADVANCE...

1) Yes you'll need a I9305T based rom, it's to do with basebands and 4G (e.g. i9305 can't do 4G in Australia while i9305T can...)
2) I forget how it is with triangle away, but that's up to you. Whether or not that red exclamation mark bothers you or not. Also it'll automatically unroot when you flash the stock rom via Odin. So no worries about that!
3) CWM will be removed (stock recovery restored/added) and any custom kernels will be gone too.
Good luck, but becareful with Odin. If you don't feel certain about something, look it up on YouTube (as their explanations will be better as you'll be able to view it).
Hope this helped
thank you
there's a button for that

This line is complete bull****. You need the "T" modem only not the rom for your model.

He wants to unroot and go back to stock, he is using a T model.
Research before you come and talk...
"The I9305 is the European version and the difference is:
The I9305 operates on the LTE800 & LTE2600MHz bands
The I9305T operates on the LTE1800 & LTE2600MHz bands
Therefore the I9305 will not currently operate in 4G mode in Australia (will only operate in 2G or 3G mode) as Australia is currently using the LTE1800MHz band (both Telstra & Optus).
If you are living overseas and want to visit Australia, then the I9305 will work (not at it's full potential though). If you live in Australia buy the I9305T."

The likes of you are not wanted here.
In-case you meant he just needs any old rom for i9305 and just flash a modem for the T. There are from what I understand a complete different line of stock roms for the T version. Just simplify it and let him flash the official stock for the i9305T, if you want to go into details feel free to. I offered help and gave him a valid answer.
Claiming my answer is bull reflects badly on you and only you.
And to prove the existence of a stock rom specifically for the i9305T - here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080463

Good day to you sir...
I live in Australia and have both t and international versions. Both work on 4g. I stand corrected if he wants to go back to stock on t version.
But you are wrong about the T version only doing 4g here. Both t and non t work perfectly here and you can use either rom on both its the modem that's specific that was my point.

The thing is, you're stating that Telstra themselves lied when they said using an i9305 Rom/firmware package is not something that is recommended and hasn't been tested.
They also said that there is a difference...
Also, they way you came and said that was 'bull' was childish and plain rude.
I answered the question correctly and showed facts.
You've done nothing but call part of my explanation 'bull' and nag about how there is then no difference when clearly there is.
Next time I recommend you be more friendly when claiming someone is wrong.
I recommend you leave it at that, cause I am.
Can Europe GT-I9305 run with Telstra Rom?
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S3 4G GT-I9305 bought via Kogan. Came with a French splash screen.
I currently am using Telstra but have rooted the phone and running Cyanogenmod.
I want to unroot the phone. Can I use the Telstra GT-I9305T rom? Will it work or is the modem different?
Thanks

"Unfortunately Jupiter you have been misinformed. Optus provide a 1800mHz LTE network and sell Samsung I9305 handsets to use on this network. The I9305 will also work on the Telstra 1800mHz LTE network.
Google is your friend. Try these links for some light reading and education."
Maybe you should have read the thread you linked to a bit better you arrogant clown, the above was the last post.

I know this is bulls#@t because I have the optus GT-I9305 not the I9305T, my girlfriend has the I9305 on optus too and we both get 4G.
Pull ya frikken head in and don't shout someone down when you appear to know sfa about the 4G networks in Australia.
Yes, to go back to stock the I9305T rom is needed for the OP but saying that the I9305 WON'T get 4G in Aus is complete and utter crap.
I would like the latest firmware supporting 850mhz without carrier apps. I just need generic. In Australia the only ROMs are Telstra and they come with lots of apps I don't want.
Where can I find a generic I9000T ROM without branding that has 850mhz and all the rest of the latest updates?
I'm still looking for this, I don't know which ROM to get. I installed one and the phone still had Telstra apps in it.
