Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD. P.S can a mod please delete my other thread titled "Has group been released for T-Mobile UK users?" as my stupid iPhone 4 renamed froyo to group, thanks.
Yes it has.

He may need to update to the latest Kies to get it "Kies 2"
If he cannot then details of his SGS's region and current software would be useful to get an answer.

Hi there!
I am looking for an official English firmware (UK) of the Incredible S. Can anyone guide me on that? I have an unbranded version. I came across a HongKong firmware in one of the threads but unfortunately i am unable to download it. Also I tried the Canada version but no go!
Thanks very much!
Goto the general section.... This is Development section....
Maybe people are willing to help you there.
I'm also looking for a European version.
I think it's kinda strange that there are so many shipped roms for the desire-s already which has only been released a few days ago and for the IS there are only about 3 roms?
I also wonder what HTC is thinking.. where would you get any official updates if your carrier provider doesn't support the IS and you bought it at a retail store.
Or do they provide fw downloads on their website usually? Didn't find any... but maybe I'm blind.
Hello all!
I am a noob so apologies in advance if this is not where it should be and not described how it should be.
My father in law yesterday had an galaxy s3 lte i9305 Orange upgrade and gave it to me! I however am on Vodafone so with my tiny little brain I set out to flash the phone with a Portuguese Vodafone firmware! This has not allowed me to use my UK Vodafone SIM and now left the phone with the custom firmware.
Is there any way at all I can reload the original UK firmware in order to sell the phone??
Any immediate help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks
Nick

You don't have to sell it unless that is what you want to do.
You can have it SIM unlocked for about £17 on web.

Take a look at this firmware. It's labeled "Sweden", but under regions, it also says UK. Should work, I guess.

I did have a brief look at this but none of the sites I looked at had the s3 lte just the s3 as an option, are the unlock codes likely to be the same?
I will try this now. The portuguise version I have has th UK option but a few portuguise apps also download and the default language is obviously portuguise. I really would like to restore it to original if there is a way.
thank you very much for taking the time to respond.

brilliant, thanks for confirming it does!
I have uploaded the Swedish firmware and it looks great! does not come with any Swedish apps or advertising!
thank you everyone for you help and being patient with a noob!
You can get the codes on ebay for about £10
Hi guys, I'm a big n00b in terms of flashing as well.
I'll get a i9305 from Hong Kong in a few days, which obviously will have a HK firmware on it. The problem with that firmware is that it only supports 6 languages. I live in Norway and want my phone to be in Norwegian so I wonder if those firmwares from the UK support all languages or only the language of the region included?
Thanks in advance.
To restore original UK Rom download checkfus from the market and write down all the info for pda phone and csc etc and enter them on the pc checkfus app and download the Odin Rom from there!

If you want to install the official Everything Everywhere (Orange) LTE firmware, download and run Check4us. This lets you choose model and region then provides firmware options. Select the UK version, download, flash with ODIN and you are done. All back and working as a new Orange set up. As it's a vanilla Samsung install you might find it works for Vodafone although you will need to search the web for Vodafone APN settings and update the phone accordingly.
I heard Vodafone got theirs yesterday. Just wondering if any of us Three users knows when we'll be getting it too!
Cheers,
Andy.
based on previous releases by vodafone and 3(UK) sometime this month

3(UK) is H3G
Im asking what CSC three uk e.g. hutchinson three uk
GT-N7000's run as far as im aware they dont have a custom rom for the uk
I've always been a little weary about flashing roms. I just like having the ability to update via kies. I'll probably look into soon though. My little Note isn't even a year old yet D;

Hey guys,
I'm on T-Mobile (USA) and eagerly waiting for LTE version of Xperia-Z.
I was wondering if I should follow same forum or will there be a new forum for T-Mobile version of the phone.
Thanks

I guess that depends on how different it will be. If it is pretty much the same platform, but a modem with different bands activated, then there isn't really a need for a new forum, you'll just have to make sure you're using the correct baseband.
