I have UK version of the i9305 which I got from Orange/EE and have had it unlocked using a code. I want to know if there is an unbranded rom for the UK i9305 as I can't seem to find one anywhere and the orange rom is rubbish to say the least
I don't think there is a UK unbranded Rom. You can flash the Luxembourg unbranded Rom with Odin.

What do you mean by branded? What do you have on it?
I have the T-Mobile version and my initial Rom had no branding on it at all, perhaps Orange is different!
Still any of the Roms from the dev section have all branding removed but it will obviously invalidate your warranty (which you can revert) but then putting an unbranded rom on would do the same anyway!
EDIT: If you mean Samsung brabded then currently there are NO ASOP roms available for the 9305 but I feel the TouchWiz framework offers more at this point in time anyway. You can always just add a Launcher like Apex for the look and feel.
When I got my GT-I9305 it had a t-mobile label on the box and I am with orange! There does not seem to be any of the bloatware from orange I have had on previous devices. These EE roms don't seem to be branded.

What about the ported XXELKC 4.1.2 ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2022533
All the roms from the dev section are unbranded, I still want to know what branding the OP is referring to and why they refer to the rom as being rubbish? This will then give us a little more info to work with and help them out!
In fact I have not come across any 9305 oms that have been branded official or not!

The Telstra I9305T is crippled in that the user is unable to change the icons in the dock. That's the reason why I rooted and flashed a custom ROM on my 9305.

I have two Telstra I9305T's - But why root it just to change the dock? Why not just use an unbranded official ROM?

Oh right! Cool. So you're running 4.1.2 but not an official release just a custom yeah? That's alright. I'm 'trying' to stick to official ROM's for the time being (I've only just converted to Android from iOS).

It's a 'clean' official ROM, but it's been ported from the I9300. So it depends on how you define official

And, im from Brazil, i want to install the stock ROM from my country, could someone tell which ROM i should install? (Just link to thread, and i will search it) or i need a 4.1.1-4.1.2 ROM with full Galaxy Note features and Brazilian language.
I looked in the N700 Al stock ROMS but didn't find a compatible one
Thanks :good:

My phone was on LRK but I'm from the UK
Mine was From Italia, i changed to LRK because Germany always gets the updates first (at least for note, or at least the last 3 major updates) and I'm from Venezuela..
I see no point on changing roms to brasil or any south American carrier.. They get the updates months after the official its released...

Hi all.
I have recently moved to Australia and i have taken my Gnote with me. I works on all the networks fine and im looking to flash it with Jellybean from ICS.
Is there anything i should know about doing this like.. radios and compatibility etc.. or can i just pick and choose something i like and flash it?
ALSO,
If i was to flash it with the official firmware just to take it back to stock, would it matter if i did this with a Australia version if its different? or would i have to do this with the UK firmware.
Any help would be great!
(spelling mistake in title Note not 'not')
I have a French note that I use in Australia. So far the best JB radio/modem I've found is XXLSO and I've tried several.

Hi Guys!
When I bought my phone it came with an unbranded (no T-mobile bootanim just the funky Samsung one) firmware.
Played with some roms when I decided to make it full stock again but I am unable to find unbranded firmware, only T-Mobile versions for it...
Can you help me maybe with a link or something?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, the DBT version (for Germany) is 100% unbranded and works fine. Other is NEE (Finland). Those two are tested myself and no branding or bloatware present. No issues with OTA or Kies (well, if you're in Europe).

Yes, I have used this ROM on all my S3's and no issues at all. (Voda,Virgin,Orange).
Use Odin and do hard reset before and after flashing!
If you want a ROM which is pretty much close to stock, you could have a look at "The Galaxy Project": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125984
It's based on the official Samsung ROMs (not AOSP/CM etc), it looks like the stock ROM, and the only difference is some minor tweaking, completely unbranded, and bloat removal. It's completely international (Europe, Oceania etc) and uses the most current Firmware (4.1.2 XXBMR8).
By the way, here's another location for untouched Firmwares:

And CM11 4.4 kitkat is out, but it's not a bugfree stock experience, and that's what I think the OP is asking for.
Just install a custom rom chances are it'll still be slow and laggy just like all other Samsung stock roms, once you go aosp/cm there's no going back to slow stock roms.

I really don't think all custom samsung roms are slow. Try The Galaxy Project. Not slow or laggy at all in my opinion.

A custom rom is made/contributed by 1, 2 or lets say a number of 10 developers. An official rom its created by an army of developers

How to root 4.3 firmware for GT-I9305?
I'm not sure but i guess that you could flash custom roms without losing your warranty.
When you want to restore your warranty just flash the stock 4.1.2 with odin.?
Not sure if this works.
Since the 4.1.2 version doesn't have KNOX.

Hello Mate I asked the Same Question and i have already read the same replies i got which doesn't answer your Question and will probably leave you frustrated.
There is a Leaked Roadmap on XDA which is Basically a very short list of when they expect the update to be released.
I can tell you it said November/December so it could be any day really.
I have been on Sam Mobile and they have Released 4.3 for our Handsets in Germany, Germany (Vodafone) and Spain (Vodafone)
I have asked the Question if these can be installed on a UK Handset and change the Language or if it wont work.
I hope this Helps answer your Question
Hello, I have an S3 I9305T for my brother and I'm looking to upgrade it to 4.4.4. The I9305T does not have a 4.4.4 build so I have downloaded the New Zealand I9305 build as it is the closest country of all the options and I am wondering if this will give us any issues being that we are on Vodafone in Australia. From what I have read there is a 4G band difference between the two devices, is this okay? Also the hardware differences have not been made clear between the two devices and if they will bring any complication to using alternate ROM's from other device variants. My final question is if I will be able to downgrade from the official 4.4.4 New Zealand ROM back to the current 4.3 Vodafone Australian ROM without bricking the device and how to do this safely to prevent any cross-version errors between data, keeping in mind that this device is not rooted.
Thank you very much for your time, it is much appreciated!
i'm not sure about bands. Could be that 4G might not work out of the box but could be fixed by flashing a different modem. You cannot downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3

Thank you for your response!
So just to clarify, putting the 4G bands aside will I be okay to flash the I9305 New Zealand 4.4.4 ROM on the Australian I9305T model?
Yes, you can flash the rom
Okay, thanks a lot for that! Out of curiosity have you done this yourself or know of anyone who has? Also if I have to do this again in the future is there a way of figuring out if I'll be okay to flash the alternate devices ROM or is it based on experience?
Cheers man!
no, i have the international i9305. Winxuser (who builds unofficial CM 12.1) has the Australian model and the ROMs work for your device. Same specs etc. just different bands support for LTE
