flashed uk i9305 with Portuguese rom

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.

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??
what a plonker!
thanks again.

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.

galaxay s3lte ee network 4.2.2 roms

Hi I have as listed above a samsung galaxy s3 lte i9305 does anyone no where I can download a jellybean 4.2.2 rom all the ones I have tried dont work on the ee network

There's NO JB 4.2.2 for i9305!
If you want, try CM based ROMs.

HI. I am in the UK, on EE, have an i9305 (Galaxy 3 LTE) and have tried a few different ROMS and have had absolutely no problems on 4.2.2.
I tried the Supreme ROM 4.1.2, but upgraded to the LiquidSmooth ROM 4.2.2, v2.2 (STABLE) and have had absolutely no issues. In fact, I would recommend it to anyone.
Why do you go in and select the Carrier? Whenever I have flashed a ROM, it has automatically selected EE as the carrier. Is your phone unlocked?
Don't know what's wrong with your situation. Are you wiping properly before installing each ROM? Are you installing Gapps with each ROM?

If you're getting the T-Mobile network, you don't need to unlock your phone. You can try out various websites like HTC-Codes for a paid code to unlock your phone. There is also a free option, but it's a bit involved and relies on your phone being on 4.1.2 firmware. URLs are -

ok quick issue its saying its on ee and i have signal however if i take it of wifi i have no data symbol and its not connecting to anything eg fb or internet any ideas

Never had that problem tbh, but make sure data connection is enabled in data usage settings.
Failing that make sure you have the right apns installed in mobile network settings (I'm on orange and have orangeinternet and orangemms). If in doubt, ring them and ask you to send your Internet settings to your phone for you.

Xperia ZR LTE in Canada WORKED

Hi everyone!
I followed the instructions from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287847) and flashed the C6506 baseband onto my C5503 and confirm that it works. I now have LTE (from Vancouver) and my provider is Fido.
Thought I should share this for those who cannot register onto LTE using C5503's baseband.
Cheers!

Basically, if a phone do not support LTE (C5502), will flashing baseband alone help?

Sorry I wish I could tell you but I've never tried. I did read in another post that you would still have a hardware issue so the short answer is no.

Have you upgraded to 4.4.2 and had success since?
I cannot find a baseband that works!!
I've tried like 5 recommended basebands; no success
Please advise! Thx

The 4.4.2 works and I used the ZL FTF 6506 Baseband per my original post link.
Have you also checked your access points?

Hi, Im from Mexico and my note 3 uses a 4glte sim card for Telcel company with my plan, its suposed to work the att version here (1700MHz and 2100MHz) but my smartphone only shows "4g" (+HSPA) even in the areas with lte's support. I even tried many things on the hidden menu *#*#4636#*#* but nothing works even if I choose the lte option.
My note 3 info:
SM-N900A
Android 4.4.2
N900AUCUCN2
Custom rom dynamic kat 6.1
Please help me! Greetings from Mexico!

Don't gona appears "LTE" if your custom ROM use "4G". But no worries 4G/LTE are same thing. You can install this MOD for Xposed anyway and try. Good luck :highfive:

Thanks my friend but I´ve made many tests and I only get +hspa speed, never LTE, I dont what to do

I think you just need to add telcel APN in Settings/Connections/More Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names
Nombre: telcel
APN: internet.itelcel.com
Found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-N-atXwP_w hopefully that works for you and you won't have to reflash!

I'd keep an eye out on sammobile. I see that they already have N920IDVU2AOJ4 posted ("i" variant) so I wouldn't expect it to take too long before the updated "c" is also posted.

once when u install this firmware
N920CXXU1AOI1_N920COLB1AOI1_N920CXXU1AOH2_HOME.tar
you will automatically receive update N920CXXU2AOJ5

its running very smooth with N920CXXU2AOJ5

Just installed it, it's running very well and restored vibration to my soft keys (which have been broken since this morning), and it brings App Standby to Android 5.1.1.

anyone got fast link for this?

Can I install it on N920C?

Never seen so fast, responsive; sadly modem is still 03 (still poor 4G reception) but now this seems really a new phone...
I suggest as always a cache cleaning process from recovery after installation

All phones behave in the same way after an update. Don't Rush, Give it a few days. Actual improvements will be visible after few days, especially with the battery usage.

the same problem here! i got update and installed it. The ex-modem code is `2`, and new one is `3`. thought it would fix bad reception issue, but nothing has not changed. Mine is N920C and its baseband version is N920CXXU2AOJ3
Anyway, do you know how to change the baseband version? ( it could be stupid question but i am a new android user (ohh!!)) I have never tasted 4 levels signal on H,H+,LTE. I think something wrong with its software.

Any body try to root it??
