If you do not find the stock of his country listed in sammobile, you can use any other that is for s5830i. You can use this,

[Q] Downgrading to 4.1.1 with 3 Sweden

Hello, I updated my system to 4.1.2 and rooted it so as to unlock the phone after which I found out that the only way to carrier unlock this phone is with 4.1.1
How do I safely downgrade so as to get 4.1.1? The phone is locked to 3 here in Sweden. I guess I need a Nordic version but have not found it.
I am very new to this so as detailed help as possible would be appreciated.
Model GT-I9305
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9305XXBLL5
Kernel version
3.0.31-746327

Thanks

Hi..
You have to look and learn from the forum.
As a noob its dangerous to flash firmwares.
Info is provided everyware on the forum.
Its not against the law to search just breafly on the forum and google.
Google search: Downgrade i9305
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Premium HD app

Because its dangerous is the reason I ask for help here and of course I have googled.And I dont find anything about swedish/nordic firmware only people downgrading in England or the States. That is why I ask the question here.
Since I have sucesfully rooted my device I dont consider myself a noob, just careful.
So instead of stating the obvious like suggesting googling, maybe point me to a proper firmware that I can downgrade with.
Or a thread with relevant information.
Peace

If this is what to use which file should it be? This is why I put my initial question..
Using Odin is a breeze, its something else to know what to flash with so you dont brick your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935570

Ok.. what ever..
Go to www.sammobile.com
There is where every one finds his or her firmware.
Register... goto firmware section... chose
Smartphone..android...i9305.. and the apropriet language for your phone..
The reason no one answeres this question is becaus its like telling you where to get toilet paper.

Use any of stock 4.1.1, unlock it and then flash it with latest Nordic 4.1.2

I guess it must be the file from November 2012 to use with Odin for any GT-I9305 from Sweden then, regardless of carrier? Not the one from September?
This one to use?
I9305XXALK5_I9305TLAALK1_TLA.zip
So if I downgrade to 4.1.1, do the unlock procedure, then it is as easy as to upgrade to 4.1.2 again using Odin and all should be back to normal. Correct?
The carrier unlock procedure can only be done on 4.1.1
Thank you for helping out!

Ok Djembey, just saw you posted a reply and that answers the question then. Many thanks

TLA is Telia and not Nordic, NEE is Nordic. And remember to do a full wipe after changing to another CSC to get OTA updates.

Glad I checked back here, was just about to do a downgrade using TLA firmware. This feels shaky to say the least :/
On Sammobile I can only find the 4.1.2 firmware NEE,I9305XXBMA3_I9305NEEBMA1_NEE.zip, where to find the 4.1.1?
So downgrading and updating using the NEE firmwares will make sure I receive OTA in the future?
And do I need to do a full swipe both after downgrading and then again when I update to 4.1.2 after unlocking?
Many thanks!

ANY 4.1.1 for the I9305 can be used! You will only use it for the unlock.

So is this the correct procedure?
1.Downgrade using TLA
2.No swipe
3.Unlock device
4.Upgrade using the NEE firmware
5.Then do a full swipe
Done
Thank you

FYI: Stock ROM NEE is for all Nordic Countries and it's better than TLA as is updated more frequently.
CSC_NEE contains settings for 34 Nordic Networks.
Btw, he's with 3 Sweden....

Downgrade to 4.1.1 with ANY Stock ROM, unlock your phone and then use latest Nordic. "3 Sweden" is included in it.

So either you confused Tigervilja or you were fist to answer his questions... You can't do both. So decide did you confuse or did you help? If you helped you were not first, if you were first you confused.
And if you call anybody names in the future I WILL report your posts.

LOL!!! should I give you a hug?

Well, I hope you guys are out there. I succesfully downgraded to 4.1.1, unlocked phone and then started Odin to upgrade to latest NEE firmware
but the upgrade failed. Now it only starts in emergency mode and asks me to attach to Kies. Trying to run Odin again only fails.
What do I do now?
Hopeful :/

If your phone is unlocked and is not carrier branded then you're free to install any (good) Jellybean firmware...
But if your phone is carrier branded (like Claro, Sprint, Verizon, Vodaphone, Orange, etc) then you have to flash their respective Jellybean firmware...
Sent from my GT-I9070

Yes you can use firmware from another country buy only if your phone is not carrier branded, you can flash a JB firmware or rom if you like.GB is kind of outdated

i think my phone is unlocked cause i can use it with indonesian carrier...i bought my phone in HK...
thanks for your respond guys...

WHY did you flash Honkong - he told you not to flash it.

As I know we can downgrade just with those files in that guide I gave you. And you can't use other Firmware to downgrade.
Try with that guide, if that fails - I have no idea how to downgrade HK FW.

My country Serbia Firmware. I use it since it was out. Once I made mistake and I flashed GB over JB - I got that bootloop. And I reflashed JB.
So after you go back to GB you go to JB just like you did now.

[Q] Question about Jellybean unofficial upgrade

Hello everyone, i'm new here and this is my first question
I have a Galaxy S Advance (I9070)
PDA : I9070XXLK2
PHONE : I9070XXLK2
CSC : I9070MTLLD1
Can I upgrade it to 4.1.2 (Jeallybean), I can't find I9070XXLK2 with the version 4.1.2? It is not available for my region yet I guess.
If so, what should I use as a firmware?
Thank you

I think this phone's original country and operator were Bulgaria (MTL).
I'm from Algeria, so I guess my country is not an option.
So what firmware should I use? And is there any risk that I could lock my phone to another carrier?

You can choose what country you want if use Odin.

N9208 Kuala Lumpur

Hi my friend bought 2 Note 5 Duos in Kuala Lumpur Airport , We are Italian but Italian language is not in the System .
There is a mode to improve italian Language in our device ? The only way is to root the device and install morelocale 2 ???
Thanks

you can flash the ROM for Taiwan version of 9208, which has the italino. it's also official ROM so you can directly flash it.

Really? With odin? You can send me a link to download it? What version of odin?

Every Samsung Android ROM since the beginning of time can be downloaded at sammobile.com/firmwares. You can google where to download Odin. I just downloaded and used Odin 3 to flash my wife's phone.

Actually from what I read so far the modem of SM-N9208 Malaysia and Taiwan are different so cannot flash directly as is. It said that only system and cache image can be transferred over.
Actually I want to do the opposite from Taiwan to Malaysia but haven't done it because I don't have spare phone now in case it breaks.
Update us how you go with it.

No I can't. That was RomBox's suggestion. Look around the forum and use the search feature. This question has been asked before, and there is a thread for the 9208 in General.
