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
Nick

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.

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.

brilliant, thanks for confirming it does!
I have uploaded the Swedish firmware and it looks great! does not come with any Swedish apps or advertising!
thank you everyone for you help and being patient with a noob!
You can get the codes on ebay for about £10
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.
Hello,
Sorry for my bad English ^^
I search a ROM for the operator Proximus in Belgium. If someone know who find a official ROM ? :laugh:
Thanks a lot,
Aireil
Are you looking for a ROM for a phone you bought from Proximus, or are you really looking for a ROM modified by Proximus? If so, I didn't even know they did that... I've certainly never bumped into one, I'd doubt providers would make them publicly available :/
However, if you're just looking for a ROM for a phone you bought from Proximus but is essentially just an i9000 (or variant) then just look in the development sections for a ROM that suits your needs. Usually the phone + SIM 'deals' in Belgium are just a regular phone plus a crappy service

Unfortunately, i search a ROM by Proximus. The operator have his own ROM, like Orange in France. And this ROM have some application for Proximus
Yuck
There's probably nothing you can find in that case. If you currently have their ROM on your phone and there's no update made available to you it's highly unlikely Proximus would ever do any effort to provide updates... Is there any specific reason why you are looking for this ROM if you already have it on your phone?
Ho no, i don't have it on my phone. I need it for an application Proximus include in the ROM ^^
How could you ever want... more bloatware?!
Anyway, I found a couple of things you may find interesting. Firstly, if you're lucky the application you're looking for may be available from Google play, Belgacom has a couple of apps on there => https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Belgacom
Also, I found a topic on another site (in French, but since you're from Belgium too that shouldn't be a problem), which is here http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/55453-rom-originale-proximus-belgique/, where somebody has pretty much the exact same problem. You could always try that
Thanks for you're help, i saw the post on FrAndroid before come here, but i can't run CheckFus. :crying:
Yes, it's this app but i need an official ROM for it's work ^^
Hello,

Grab your region's version, then flash via Odin.
I find it easier to not flash the latest version, but to an older version (4.1.1) just to make it feel "Stock-ier".

Perhaps in the east that is more than alight. But here if it's not the original CSC and there is no record of a service centre changing it you are screwed.

Hey, I am originally just looking to add a Turkish language for a device I just purchased for my dad. But all options require rooting. I followed towelroot and activeroot. Neither worked.
So my question is, is there a way to add languages without rooting? If not, how am i going to root my device and add more languages?

You re Turkish and why you bought a i537? (Neden yani i9295 ler 900 1000 lira iken anlamı ne i537 almanın?)
Your comment doesn't help to solve the problem but here it is: it was half the price when I bought it in the US.

Hi,
I want to flash on my Lumia 435 a non carrier firmware without all the bloatware (5-6 apps to be exact). And my questions are:
Where can I find the firmware that is not branded ?
What tool should I use to flash the firmware ?
Thanks !

Hi,
sorry for being (a little?) off-topic, but i've not found a better place to ask: is there a way to unlock this phone from Orange Romania? Product code is 059x0g9. I've followed the tutorial, and i've flashed the firmware recommended above, but when inserting a SIM card from Telecom (a T-Mobile subsidiary), it complains that the phone is locked into other operator's network.
Would i have a better chance by flashing a Vodafone Romania firmware and using one of those cards? Or is this phone doomed to be part of Orange network forever?
Regards,
Cornel
