Hello
I have a s3 on orange
And I can't update the phone. Kies says there is a update but it just loads a blank screen when I click ok. I've installed it with the driver and installed it to no joy. There is also no software update on the phone either!
Any ideas?
I'm on EE and there is no update, I upgraded with this as it gives you root but it is still stock, no increase in the counter and it shows that it is original in all the settings.
Done and dusted in thirteen minutes with no worries.

Hi Raistlin,
I'm on a HongKong StockROM (TGY), and would like to switch to a StockROM that offers also Dutch as a selectable language.
Does the EE ROM have that? On SamMobile the EE ROM info mentions Belgium in the supported regions, however not Holland. By the way my provider is T-Mobile.

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.

Thanks guys for you responces! I have looked at samifirmware but can only see firmwares from outside of the UK. Do I have any options to try and restore it to its original firmware??

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.

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.

Does have any issue will i get update in future directly on my phone?
Not for other regions only for Germany. It will change your phone csc to Germany. When Indian rom comes out, you will need to flash that manually.

Hi,
I just bought a brand new network unlocked I9305. When I went ,to use it I noticed that reception was very poor in my area whereas my old S2 was great. I checked the device details against those on Sammobile firmware and found it was from Hong Kong. I also noticed that the only i9305 android 4.3 release for Australia is an official Optus one which I assume has all the Optus bloatware which I want to avoid if possible.
After reading numerous threads here I found the current firmware has the Knox bootloader and currently set to 0.
Is there a way to flash another official stock XSA 4.3 firmware that will work properly in Australia using odin, that won't upset or trigger Knox?

Thanks I've seen that but unfortunately it is for the T version. My phone is the I9305. I believe mine is an international version.

upgrade to 4.4.4
I had many issues with 4.3 (battery draining, ui force closing,..) after i flashed 4.4.4 stock rom its working perfectly fine

Thanks for the suggestion.
Will the Germany version work fine in Australia? Does it have any carrier bloatware?

Im in Sri Lanka. U may have to confirm whether the base band is compatible for Aus.
It does not have any carrier bloatware.
Apps that comes with the OS can be turned off in kitkat (at-least in 4.4.4). So dont worry about bloatware.
I also managed to get it rooted using "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar"
Great I'll check that out. Many thanks
Also note that,
when u root 4.4.4 using the mentioned autoroot file the SuperSU app will force close. Don't worry just manually install SuperSU version 2.02 and it will be fine.
If u cant find it let me know. The version in google play is 2.01 and does not work for 4.4.4
Cheers :good:

I don't know, I had tried to flash a russian ROM and it failed, had to reinitialize via kies
I've flashed on my phone lots of roms with odin, the only time one failed was a Serbian ROM, but I thought it was because the download failed.
As soon as I finish downloading this I'll report if it works.

True indeed. Unfortunately I can't post the link but send me a message if interested. Nevertheless, I will see if I can post a Mega link after some time.
I wonder if someone can change this rom to custom. So we can flash it easily from recovery. Please guys we want a stock custom rom.

Exynos update is only available in one region, though it’s only a matter of time before the update becomes available to others either through Samsung Kies, an OTA or both methods. To check for the OTA, you can always head to Settings> System> About Device> Software Update.:thumbup::thumbup::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

How to install kazakstan firmware to india s5 exynos octa????
hi i have downloaded the kazakstan firmware and i want to install it to s5 india..
my phone is not rooted
please tell me how can i install the firmware?
I am on my 3rd reinstall, first I upgraded via Odin on top of kitkat, and system was too slow, 2nd I rooted via auto root (It works btw) and apparently I deleted with Titaniun Backup something important and system refused to boot. 3rd reinstall I just rooted and deleted some bloatware and everything is working ok. This is Multilingual btw. overall not so fast no so slow, I use cm12 official nightly in another device and its just a bit slower. Used Sammobile link to get the file

hi,
i sure it will depend what you looking for.?
Branded or unbranded stock Rom ? (local or international)
example.. I have a Note5 920 C device stock, not rooted and branded Vodacom software on device. ( basically same as Vodafone branded, same company. )
It has no WhatsApp installed.
So yes, you will find some stock Roms without WhatsApp.
Good luck

I prefer unbranded roms but couldn't find any, or even branded network unlocked. I can go with branded but without network lock.
What is the CSC for your device? Is it network locked or not? I may use it even it is branded.

hi,
firstly,
no, its not network lock. My CSC is
N920COJV2AOJ3
However, point i was making, was to point you in the direction of maybe checking Vodafone Uk software (should be same, no WhatsApp.. not sure)
Yes, my software is branded software,
Only irritation, is the branded splashscreen. The extra pre installed apps, can be mostly be deleted or disabled.
Regarding the unbranded software.. .. the few i flashed with my old Note 4, mostly all had WhatsApp.. I think BTU, did not... not sure..?
Point is, there is Note5 Roms, without the WhatsApp pre installed.
Good luck

Thanks willcor, unfortunately Note 5 was not introduced in Europe and so no firmware for UK or any other country in Europe.
So do you have a link for your firmware as I don't know which one is it on sammobile firmwares? Which country?

hi ,
here is the link re Samsmobile..(South Africa )
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/58392/N920CXXU2AOJ5_N920COJV2AOJ3_XFV/
se screenshot below .( You will see its listed also as a Vodafone software )
Just do your "homework" that you are satisfied all is in order.
(Device model no, or don't flash older software than your current Rom, re bootloader... etc etc .)
Bottom line is,
if you have any issues, flash your device latest, correct updated Rom.
Just to note ...,
with my old Note 2..,. Note 3 and Note 4.
i had branded Vodacom/Vodafone firmware and was able to flash all other unbranded ROMS ..eg ..Germany ,BTU ,Nordic countries ( NEE ) ,Netherlands etc etc .

Hi ,
Strange,
as i got no Whatsapp, on my stock ,non rooted Note 5, installed etc .
Never ever had and i have phone since Oct 2015.( but then my software on device was pre installed )
Anycase ,i feel like you ...i also don' t fancy it .??
I don't need it and if i am on my laptop /phone /internet it's amazing all the" spam / tricks /cons " that pop up .??
...eg ..Your Whatsapp version is outdated ,plse update to new version...click here..!!!!!!
( ...then like i stated i never ever had this " app" installed ..!!)
Why don't you disable it in Application Manager or if rooted uninstall it with root app Titanium Backup ?
Good luck in your quest.
