[Q] A question about flashing firmware, easy for you guys :)

I've read on some forum that I should not flash an arabic firmware until I flashed an english one.
I have on my phone JPJP4, I would like to upgrade to JPJPG. So according to what I've heared, I have to upgrade to some other english version before I can think of flashing the arabic-supported version.
Aren't firmwares supposed to erase everything and start over?
I mean, my understanding is a firmware Is a system by itself, it doesn't need another operating system to rely on.
When I install a windows XP on a PC, I don't need any OS to be there!
Can someone give me some insight on this.
thank you.

why don't you upgrade to jpy most roms are based on that firmware version

I am considering upgrading to JPY (but I don't think it supports arabic?)
but that's not the point, I was asking is the statement mentioned in the thread true or false?
why would someone say DO NOT upgrade to an arabic firmware unless you upgraded to an english (i.e. european) firmware first??
so my last question is, is it safe for me to upgrade directly from JHJP4 to XXJPY? is it safe to change firmwares randomly whether it was an upgrade or a downgrade??

as you are going to switch the firmware you should install wipe version and disable lagfix ...... post here what rom do you want to flash and i will check if you need to pre-install english firmware... (i don't think it's needed but i will check)

I was thinking of flashing JPY, then darkyyy's rom. The I discovered that JPY doesn't support arabic. The half-solutions out there are not enough.
So anyway, now I'm going to flash JPJPG, then I'm gonna try darkyyy's (I know darkyyy's doesn't support arabic either, but the firmware JPG does). what do you think?
But here's my original question, why would I ever flash an english firmware before flashing another 'firmware' that supports other languages? aren't they ALL samsung official firmwares??
thank so much for your reply.

i don't know but i think it is not necessary ...... but if you could post thread where you have read it i could
check it

Modem: Jpy
CSC. ITVJp3
Even with the new today samsung market the results are same.
My phone it's not rooted.

Up any idea?

I don't think you would have needed to flash the csc to get Italian language to appear, if you flashed WXJS5 XEN, just change the language in Locale and text input in Settings...since this firmware is official for Europe it should fine without changing csc..

Everything you need is on Samfirmware.com

[Q] How to change the language to Thai? (CSC?)

Hi there
I'm sorry to ask such a silly question:
I bought a S3 Mini in Thailand and the guys there wanted to do "something" to enable Thai language. I said I can do it by myself.
Now I wanted to change the language to Thai, but it's not there.
Then I tried to find a stock rom on samfirmware for South East Asia (which would include the Thai language). But there was no ROM for this phone.
Then I came up with the idea to change the CSC to Thailand. But I worry to do this because I never did before and I don't know if after changing the CSC I will be able to download a ROM on Kies with the Thai language.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Edit: According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684194 I can change the languages.xml inside the CSC folder, to add the TH (Thai) language code. After that I should be able to see it in the Android Languages settings list. I'll try to root it with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282 and try it out. Reporting back here when I have any news. Still if someone knows for sure what's the right way, I'd appreciate a reply
