I thought about that...
My wife has an I9001 but I need the branded ROM before flashing a new one in case of warranty need... How can I save the one she has now for future reflashing?

Only using CWM/Faemod (backup option in there) but still it would be hacked then. You'd need to go back to the stockrom mentioned in the Settings --> About (model, firmware, baseband, kernel, build). What is in there? Please post and we'll tell you what ROM to use...
PS. Topic should not be in the development thread - use the Q&A for this type of questions.

flashed uk i9305 with Portuguese rom

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

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.

[Q] Is it possible to root Note 3 now ?

I have stock AT&T 4.4.2 and I posted a topic HERE asking if it is possible to root Note 3 or not?
According to the post HERE, it seems like someone has figure it out to root Note 3.
So, I just want to double check, now can I root my AT&T Note 3 ? and install custom ROM to it ?
That is exactly what the thread you linked to said, so yes, you can do those now...
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
So, once I root my AT&T Note 3 with Towelroot
What custom ROM I should install ? is there anything available out there ? As there was no way to root Note 3 before with 4.4.2 update, I don't know if there was any ROMs available or not ?
anyone ?
In the spirit of helping out, once you root with Towelroot head on over to the Note 3 development section. There are several KK ROM's . As far as a best one, "we" as a community don't label a single ROM as best. Each developer does their best to supply us with a free product. Certainly some are better, than others. It is left to the user to read and make decisions for themselves.

			
				
Thank you Roostercruiser,
I understand there could be several ROM. I am not asking what is "BEST" rom, if you could just direct me to several ROMs option, that would be helpful ? That's all I need !
Here you go.

Is there any cyanogenmot for Note 3 (AT&T) ?
I found this but it does not say if it is for AT&T or not: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte
Also, can anyone please give me any link where I can get STOCK AT&T ROM (touch wiz) just in case if I want to go back to stock ROM.
No, there is not a Cyanogenmod ROM for AT&T's locked bootloader on Note 3. Make nandroid of stock version you're already running after you root.
No cyanogen mod for us ... With the locked boot loader we are stuck with Samsung based Roms

Go to the Sprint HTC One Development Forum and find a ROM you want to flash. Each ROM's developer should provide instructions on how to flash their ROM. Also, only flash ROM's that are made for your Sprint phone or you are asking for trouble.
I tried flashing revolution on my sprint m7. And it softbricked now its running good. My question is, can i fkash a european rom or should i stick with the sprint roms

Do I have T-Mobile Branding ?!

Hey guys,
I am a bit confused about all that branding stuff. I live in Germany and I got my phone from "Telekom" with branding.
Is Telekom = T-Mobile Branding ? And yes I get this ·T··· Logo on Bootup.
Also if it's T-Mobile Branding is there anything specific I have to look at ? Because I want to root and unlock my phone and remove the branding.
Also I want the posssibility to switch to a custom ROM. I saw there are two sections for Galaxy S6, one normal and the other one t-mobile.
Can I also just use the ROMs and rooting methods from the the normal section or do I need to stay in the T-Mobile section ? I am really confused with
all this branding **** and the differences between the devices.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S6 (Bought from Telekom with Branding in Germany)
Modelnumber: SM-G920F
Android-Version: 5.1.1
Even though your device may be T-Mobile, your section is actually the normal S6 section, this is for T-Mobile USA branded devices G920T

You can't flash Roms with Odin, you need a custom recovery. You can flash firmware, kernel, modems or recovery with Odin. There are no aosp roms for the S6, they will all be based off samsung firmware

Wait ONLY TouchWiz roms are available for Samsung Galaxy S6 ?! why ?
Another thing. If I want to flash recovery on my branded phone, do I just flash a recovery or do I need to root and unlock first ?!
Also what happens with the branding and the simlock ?!
Yes only TouchWiz. Has to do with some Samsung sources being closed for their chips I believe.
Depending on what firmware, all you have to do is go into developer options, turn on OEM Unlocking, after that you can flash custom recovery.
Branding will stay the same unless you flash another rom.
Sim lock will stay the same. So if it's locked to T-Mobile it'll stay locked

It will not unlock by just flashing a debranded rom, you need another method. If you couldn't find that option in developer options then you have an older firmware and the option is not needed. I recommend you search your section for more info. There is a lot of things to learn about this device
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
That happened to me... I could not find the option "OEM Unlocking"
It was changed places.
Now it is in "Lock screen and segurity" -> "Unknown sources"
I do not know if it is really equivalent, but must be active if you want to install software from the same phone or sdcard.
