Hello,
I'm new in Samsung Galaxy's world and I wanted to verify some informations that I've found refering to a GT-S5830L phone.
A friend of mine came to France from Uruguay and brang his GT-S5830L. The phone is SIM-UNLocked and strangely running a S5830B firmware (maybe that is the Uruguayan version). Now he wants to use this phone here but it only works when limitating it to 2G.
As far as I can say from my searches on internet, the three of S5830, S5830L and S5830B share the same hardware but their baseband for 3G differ.
So we would like to flash the phone with a S5830 firmware/baseband. Is that possible ? Will it make the S5830L work with 3G here in France ? What happens with the SIM-UNLocking ?
Thank you for your responses
If you flash an s5830 firmware, you'll brick your device..

Ok thank you. Is that specific for S5830 firmware ? Because that phone runs a S5830B firmware regardless that it is a S5830L device.

No... Don't try to flash rom of a particular device on any other device.

Do one thing, try to wipe data, cache & factory reset. See if it works in bringing 3g to life...

Hey, stop the paranoia.
5830L, 5830 and 5830B are compatible, same chipset, same roms, can flash firmwares from one another.
I have a 5830L, flashed with ddkq8 (5830 firmware for india), then with ktm (5830 firmware for spain). No problems.
But, if 3g frequencies are limited by hardware, then flashing a spain rom (or modem) to the 5830L won't help you get 3g signal (only 2g).
5830L 3g frequencies are compatible with America (north, central, and south) but not with european 3g frequencies.

I already knew this. But I had came across threads that told about a bricked s5830i by flashing f/w of s5830. I just didn't want to put the guy in trouble as I've never done but just heard of what you spoke, just in case anything went wrong. Anyways, it went good for you & so it may for him...

Hi dxppxd,
As you had a S5830L flashed with a spannish firmware (S5830) then you should be able to tell me if the 3G worked on it when you were in Spain (which wouldn't have been possible with the standard S5830L frequencies) :good:
My guess is : as S5830 , S5830L and S5930B seems to be the same hardware then the 3G frequencies are only defined by their Firmware (but that information is unavailable)

I've read that the S5830i have not the same hardware than S5830; then flashing the S5830i with a S5830 firmware will probably result in breaking the phone.

Not necessarily. It WILL get bricked if you use ROM manger. In that case it might get bricked for no reason anyway
CWM gives you an error, so NO BRICKING.
@OP: Phones have different models because they differ, however slightly. Any ROM is meant for a single phone ONLY. Other phone will have to get different (or ported) version of that same ROM. If the phones have little difference, so will their ROMs and porting will also be easier.
EDIT: the S5830, S5830L & S5830B seem to be an exception due to having basically the same internal components. They are the SAME phone, slightly tweaked by samsung .

S5830, S5830L, S5830 have the same hardware components, S5830i has a different processor compared to them.
EDIT: S5830i has the same chipset as Galaxy Y.

This is from personal experience and some help from friends over seas:
Tried 2 galaxy aces 5830L in Spain with stock Spanish firmware and modem (one of them mine). None had access to 3g, only 2g. Both were purchased at Mexico from different carriers, and manually unlocked to use different sims.
Tried 2 galaxy aces 5830 at Mexico, with latin modems (kp3). Only one had access to 3g, the other one just had 2g. The one with access to 3g was factory free (already sim unlocked, and also running cm7 rom), the other one was manually unlocked to use a different sim and had stock spanish firmware.
It seems latin(5830L), brazilian (5830B) and carrier acquired aces have hardware limited frequencies, so changing firmware won't give you 3g access. But I would need more confirmation from other people's experience to see if this is the case.
Why don't you try flashing a European modem

I guess I will finish trying it, as it seems to be harmless for the phone, it is ?
Only for information the GT-S5830i have a different CPU not the 7227-T1 but a different Qualcomm running at 832mhz.

I had a galaxy L, the only change is that the L is the american model, appart form that, there's no change at all , the only thing it's that we can't flash european ROMs (KPH,KPN, etc) The only ROMs we can flash are these:

You can flash any 5830 ROM. The only difference is the hspa frequencies so you have to use a south American modem.

I have galaxy Ace S5830L and I want to have arabic support for it, so could I flash it using a stock rom for S5830I for arabic region ?? or shoud I do something else ?? it is on 2.2.1 right now.
You can't.. or atleast shoudn't install a ROM for S5830i when your phone is S5830L ... S5830i has different hardware from S5830L, so its most likely to get bricked.
I can't believe there is still people with froyo on their ace
Install the latest version of gingerbread for S5830L = here -> http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-S5830L&r=-1#modelsa
You can download any of them, could be according to your country or the latest one which is S5830LUBKPL
Then root your galaxy ace and try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083688
I have never tried it, but looks like works for people.
it's not my phone , I have GS2 with ICS on it but it's my friend phone and he needs all the phone to be in arabic not just the browser,, I mean all the menus if that is possible and thnx alot for your response
Let me ask you something first...
Why does he have a GT-S5830L ? It's a latin american phone... Unless he is latin american and knows arabic? Make sure its an L and not an i
He could download S5830JPKP9 (2.3.3) Which is for Iraq...
Although Is not the latest versions, im sure it supports arabic language, might be there are other ROMs that support it but can't be sure.
When he goes to Settings > About Phone
What does it say in "Baseband Version" ?
Sorry it took me too long to replay, it's S5830L yes for latin america, but I tried to flash the one for Iraq as you suggested and everything went perfect and now it supports arabic
Thnx for your answer and help.
And why he has it because we, here in syria, don't have an official htc store. So all the phones are sold by dealers who bring the phones from different places.

hey all, just wondering if the GT-I9305 and the GT-I9305T are the same or not, and whether the GT-I9305 stock firmware is transferable over to the GT-I9305T. :laugh:
Do you mean the Telstra GSIII LTE?
Do you mean the Telstra GSIII LTE?
If yes, then try asking Telstra, though probably they won't give an answer.
I believe they might not be compatible because Telstra has history of modifying models,
both hardware and software, which compromised the phone experience under other carriers.
And assume they are compatible, then why it is named I9305T instead of I9305?
Obviously making one model is easier than making an I9305 and another version with a "T".
So, I guess you probably should not try the firmware for another version of the GSIII LTE until you get a CLEAR answer
Good Luck!

As far as I know they are exactly the same aside from slight software differences. I've got a GT-I9305 bought from Kogan which is a Hong Kong version. In stock form it worked on the Telstra network but the signal strength was not all that great and it use to drop of the network on odd occasion which required a restart in some case to reconnect. I got a bit tired of it so I flashed it with the official Telstra ROM last Friday. So far everything is running great, signal strength is as expected and it did not drop of the network at all since the re-flash.
All I can say now my phone is now a GT-I9305T and it works as it should :good:
awesome, thats great to know.
i was also doing some searching on the internet earlier today and realized that my s3 ( GT-I9305T) was only running the 4.1.1 version of android and that the GT-I9300 was updatable to 4.1.2, i then went on to check for an update which came back unsuccessful saying that i had the latest version of firmware, i understand that they are releasing it model by model but does anyone have any idea on whether the GT-I9305T will get the update? and also any estimate on when?

First of all download Samsung USB Drivers: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1I3ilHBfl1lSvkqQwHZTEOE6usggQqQGb
Download TWRP for GT-I9305T: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kmpXSVGdd_XR2WojWqAe8rd_Xm7gZ8Lj (its an old version of twrp but it should work)
After downloading twrp download Odin3: https://drive.google.com/open?id=10CLH6TqF6PLiqnMnjqY5IgsfU5KjX-F-
Extract it od desktop
Now power off your s3 and boot into download mode holding Power Button + Volume Down + Home Button
You will see that screen turned on and press Volume up to continue into Download mode
Connect your s3 into your pc via usb cable. Open Odin3 and you will see on the left side message that says Added!!
Now click od the AP button and select twrp that you downloaded
Go to options tab and make sure that Re-Partition is unticked, Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time keep ticked
Finally click Start button and the twrp should flash, you will see green text saying PASS!
After flashing twrp the phone should automatically reboot, download SuperSU: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip
Turn off the phone again and hold Power Button + Volume Up + Home Button and it should boot into twrp, swipe to allow system modifications, and select install and find the supersu.zip file, select it and swipe to confirm flash.
After reboot your s3 should be rooted. You will have SuperSU app in the menu.
Picked up a Titanium Grey S3 LTE today after trading mine in.. Only paid an extra £40 for a BNIB one.. dont think they knew what they were selling hehe
Anyway, am I right in thinking that I flash these roms now?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1...ode=0#firmware
But flash it in the same way as a 9300, with ODIN 304 and samsung drivers.
Thanks
Just checked up, It is exactly the same process.. an S3 LTE is just an S3 with an added 4G circuit and antenna and 2GB of ram.. so yeah.. its flashed through ODIN the same.

Just don't flash the wrong firmware (NO I9300 firmware , ONLY LTE ones), and be sure you got a I9305 and not I9305N or I9305T.

I flashed an EE UK modem.bin this morning after extracting it from the Orange UK LTE rom, so you gotto really watch for that.. or its a one way trip to brick, but thats something I make a point of when Im looking on here or samfirmware, so thanks for the reminder. Appreciated
Cheers
flashing a wrong modem isn't a "one way trip to brick", relax. the only things that can lead to it are flashing a wrong bootloader, recovery, or losing EFS
Just out of curiosity and maybe to help others be more aware...
When I checked I thought there was only one variant of the S3 LTE, didnt realise there was the T and the N.. but are these region differences such as N-North america or T-Thailand
So a 9305N or 9305T rom would brick a I9305 International device.
