[Q] UK Galaxy not in Australia Roms. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

I've done the same as you - from London to sydney two weeks ago. No complaints, no changes, nothing. Just a new sim and go! Using an international Note mind

Im from Australia and so is Sweet ROM yet is made from latest international firmware and used by people all over the world. My device is an international version originally with German firmware many moons ago.
In short, it doesn't matter mate

Stock ROM by country

I just used Dr. Ketan's post (stock ROMS) to flash the latest GB and would now like to flash stock ICS 4.0.4. I reside in Hungary
and the phone was purchased in Hungary. I don't see 4.0.4 Rom for Hungary. Does it matter?
I am curious why they even have ROMs bye country.
Thanks for your observation.
Already updated half an hr back. you can see now.
This have 4.0.4 for hungary now.
Just cause your phone was bought in country a doesn't mean the phone has country a csc. That's not how updatability works at Samsung.

[Q] Unbranded rom for UK

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

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...

There is no official jb out yet, we're still waiting. There are leaked source jb roms which are as close to stock as possible like lsa or lsc but they still have bugs.

Btw, official jb is likely to be released soon, like within a month unless Samsung do as they did with ics and run over again, but judging by the leaks, that's doubtful I'd say.

(Q) Very quick question on returning to stock...

I have a GT-I9305T (Telstra Version) currently running CM10.1, I would like to unroot the phone and return it to factory original stock...
1) can I flash a stock i9305 or does it have to be a i9305T based ROM? - where can I get these?
2) should I run triangle away in CM10.1 then flash the stock ROM, and run SU to unroot?
3) after all that is done I still have CWM right? how do I return that to stock?
THANKS IN ADVANCE...

1) Yes you'll need a I9305T based rom, it's to do with basebands and 4G (e.g. i9305 can't do 4G in Australia while i9305T can...)
2) I forget how it is with triangle away, but that's up to you. Whether or not that red exclamation mark bothers you or not. Also it'll automatically unroot when you flash the stock rom via Odin. So no worries about that!
3) CWM will be removed (stock recovery restored/added) and any custom kernels will be gone too.
Good luck, but becareful with Odin. If you don't feel certain about something, look it up on YouTube (as their explanations will be better as you'll be able to view it).
Hope this helped
thank you
there's a button for that

This line is complete bull****. You need the "T" modem only not the rom for your model.

He wants to unroot and go back to stock, he is using a T model.
Research before you come and talk...
"The I9305 is the European version and the difference is:
The I9305 operates on the LTE800 & LTE2600MHz bands
The I9305T operates on the LTE1800 & LTE2600MHz bands
Therefore the I9305 will not currently operate in 4G mode in Australia (will only operate in 2G or 3G mode) as Australia is currently using the LTE1800MHz band (both Telstra & Optus).
If you are living overseas and want to visit Australia, then the I9305 will work (not at it's full potential though). If you live in Australia buy the I9305T."

The likes of you are not wanted here.
In-case you meant he just needs any old rom for i9305 and just flash a modem for the T. There are from what I understand a complete different line of stock roms for the T version. Just simplify it and let him flash the official stock for the i9305T, if you want to go into details feel free to. I offered help and gave him a valid answer.
Claiming my answer is bull reflects badly on you and only you.
And to prove the existence of a stock rom specifically for the i9305T - here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080463
Get a life and stop trying to answer an already answered question.
Good day to you sir...
I live in Australia and have both t and international versions. Both work on 4g. I stand corrected if he wants to go back to stock on t version.
But you are wrong about the T version only doing 4g here. Both t and non t work perfectly here and you can use either rom on both its the modem that's specific that was my point.

The thing is, you're stating that Telstra themselves lied when they said using an i9305 Rom/firmware package is not something that is recommended and hasn't been tested.
They also said that there is a difference...
Also, they way you came and said that was 'bull' was childish and plain rude.
I answered the question correctly and showed facts.
You've done nothing but call part of my explanation 'bull' and nag about how there is then no difference when clearly there is.
Next time I recommend you be more friendly when claiming someone is wrong.
I recommend you leave it at that, cause I am.
Can Europe GT-I9305 run with Telstra Rom?
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S3 4G GT-I9305 bought via Kogan. Came with a French splash screen.
I currently am using Telstra but have rooted the phone and running Cyanogenmod.
I want to unroot the phone. Can I use the Telstra GT-I9305T rom? Will it work or is the modem different?
Thanks

"Unfortunately Jupiter you have been misinformed. Optus provide a 1800mHz LTE network and sell Samsung I9305 handsets to use on this network. The I9305 will also work on the Telstra 1800mHz LTE network.
Google is your friend. Try these links for some light reading and education."

I know this is bulls#@t because I have the optus GT-I9305 not the I9305T, my girlfriend has the I9305 on optus too and we both get 4G.
Pull ya frikken head in and don't shout someone down when you appear to know sfa about the 4G networks in Australia.
Yes, to go back to stock the I9305T rom is needed for the OP but saying that the I9305 WON'T get 4G in Aus is complete and utter crap.

You can go to sammobile.com site and look in the firmware section to see if there are any available updates.
If the phone is not network locked, it does not matter which rom you flash. You can go ahead with he latest one ex. LTA.
Then download the firmware and flash using odin.
1st been there and only lt9 which is voda cpw and orange not o2 2nd not network locked to o2 i have flashed many custom roms in past just got fed up of incompatability issues or other probs with custom roms not saying there bad as there not just my experiance of said roms led me back to stock i honestly thought that o2 should of had bug fix update by now all the other uk networks have as stated earlier my sg2 which is o2 also has had four updats since its jelly bean release and it has no issues but my note got jelly bean near begining of year and since nothing at all ive tried kies no update availiable same when check over air latest update installed
Sent from my GT-N7000
Then you should be able to manually update to LTA.. though there is not much of a difference between LT9 & LTA. Does not matter it its from UK or any other region.
The thing is i honestly dont want to flash my phone again ive managed to run stock since official release and its been a bit slow from time to time but to be honest i have had no bootloops or freezes or incompatiable issues apart from that group thing with wifes s4 but thats the s4 as its fine with s2 i have tried hard not to flash again and its not easy with lt9 and lta about but i thank you for your reply
