I have a Galaxy S from Three (Ireland) and I want to unbrand this sucker. I'm sick of waiting for Froyo to be released (Three will not confirm nor will they give a release date) and even when it is updated, Im sure it will slow my phone down like it has done with the 2.1 Eclair. Im fairly new to this and don't know where to start. Help would be much appreciated
Can someone please point in the right direction?
Did you have any luck with this? Sorry for opening an old thread.

Do you have the 3 button combo ? if so, flash a ROM using odin, The latests Firmwares can be found at www.samfirmware.com
Flash it and you will have a super clean stock ROM, then the rest is upto you, whether you go custom or not.
Hi,
I am trying to find a guide to install a custom rom to my Japanese docomo Galaxy tab .
I'm living in Japan so I don't need to unlock it etc, I just want to install a rom.
I got as far as flashing but kernels were not listed for my device.
It's doing my bloody head in!
Hope someone can point me in the right direction or list the things I have not written and slap me.
cheers

First, find a recovery, cwm or twrp, for your device. Flash that with Odin. Then find a rom for your device. Put that on your sd card. With your recovery, cwm or twrp, flash it. I have an i957 so don't know what's available for the 7320. I think there is limited support for the 7320 but look in the development forum.

Tnx,i found everything already here for flashing all files and procedure to make my tab root and etc...but fu..ing bodering me is branded tab and locked sim card on my provider..and i dont know can i change other stock rom of sweden or even other provider rom to use..so far i found only one custom rom for 7320 but no explaination for using to branded tab only for unlocked tabs..i dont want bricked device..otherwise i will wait for how long i dont know fo update of my lazy provider to bring 4.04...
Hello,finally after cople hours of taking brave i started to do on my own risk everything and results are posititve.so i do exacly like imf ound here on forum and flased custom recovry and then flashed custom rom arciis and everything was fine for me..so conclusion is that you can even with branded tab make this becuse your modem and status of provider will not change and everything will work..threat can be closed and i hope for others that my scares will help for others with same problem...
Hi,
First post here. I'm still confused although I read a lot, here, on this forum...
Recently I bought Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190N phone from a friend of mine, but IMEI factory locked to Orange Romania. First of all I deblocked IMEI. Then flashed with the official firmware I8190NXXAMG6_I8190NVFGAMF3_ATL - Vodafone Spain (because my SIM card is from Vodafone Romania, where I live).
1) How can I unlock CSC or change it from Orange (ORO) to Vodafone (VOD or CNX) in order to make possible Kies updates? Actual CSC is MF3 (ORO) - mean Orange - although I flashed my phone with the most recently Vodafone carrier official firmware.
About rooting I read HERE - in case I'm think to flash my phone with Maclaw's CyanogenMod 10.1 20130919. So, the second question is:
2) It's possible to unroot the phone to the official firmware, in case I want to revert to it's original state? And if it's possible then how?
I would be very thankful if you can describe me, step by step, these two problems!
Nobody has any opinion?
No one can't help me?

Where on this forum it's talking about CSC deblocking?! I haven't found anything conclusive.
Again, I have read a lot, but also is a lot of dispersed informations across the forum and I'm not so skilled. Besides that I don't know wich is the right way to do something that I want to do. This is the reason that I put those questions. For those who read this thread of mine and if they are good/skilled they can guide me with a answer or a link or something.
Thank you.

1. Use csc select from play to choose from the csc's installed on your phone.
Be aware of that changing csc also makes a factory reset. BACKUP your apps and data!

I already read that thread. But that guide is for non N version of I8190. Mine is N, as I already mentioned in first post.

Nope. CSC doesn't change when flash the phone. And I already described in first post, I flashed the firmware and CSC even didn't budge.

csc changer app will work if you are rooted.
sometimes a hard reset after flashing stock will change to the new product code if it is not changed.
regarding the unrooting guide, the flashing procedure is the same for all variants but sure you have to download the right stock firmware for your N variant from sammobile or what else...

First of all I wish to thank you for your reply.
I already tried with hard reset soon after I flashed the phone with official firmware of spanish carrier. But nothing.
Therefore, I supposed to root the phone with ClockworkMod, run CSC selector to change my CSC, unroot back with the same ClockworkMod, after that I reflash (once again) with the same firmware? I understand correctly?

feel free to do so
however, if you are not willing to risk trying the various solutions provided here on these forums then you won't know if it works or not

Is your opinion and I'll respect that.
But why should I experience? Just because many others do so then and I must risk to brick the phone just because others do the same?! And yes, I do not want to risk (or if I do so at least I want to minimize all the risks). I'm a newbie in this kind of problems and I want to know, to understand and to put in balance as much as possible.
What is the purpose of the forum discussions if not to provide guidance and advice for others in order that they do not make same mistakes, that for example, I did?!
... that's why I put some questions.
Hi everyone. So I'm brand new to rooting. This is my first rooted phone. I have the Att Variant of the Galaxy S5 and I'm looking to install a custom Recovery so I can save my phone if anything happens to it. From reading I'm pretty sure my only option is Safestrap? I'm running KitKat 4.4.4 with build OA1.
I did see and find tutorials and DL links for NG3. But I don't want to install that if that is not what I need for my phone. (Obviously). If anyone can help me and point me in the right direction that would be great and HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
I also know I want to get rid of the bloatware on my phone and install an adblocker
Any suggestions on how to do thos or apps to look into ?
Also any other this you guys would first do after rooting a new phone for the first time
Please and thanks. Glad to finally be apart of this Community.

Start here, not in the dev forum.

Sorry, I though this was help and trouble shooting.
Headed there now.
I did install the ND3 and it works fine on OA1 if anyone else has this question.
