[Q] European Firmware on Asian SGS?

Hey guys!
Just wanted to know if it's possible or okay to flash an Asian based SGS with European software...I was interested in checking out the beta releases with Froyo but they're only available as European firmware.
My phone was purchased from the US but it was apparently sourced from Singapore since it had Singtel stuff on it. I flashed it to generic Asian firmware and then updated it with Samsung KIES which gave me the Asian firmware upgrade (DXJG4) free from Singtel customizations (yay!)
And another question...which firmware do you guys recommend to stick with until Froyo is officially released? Like which firmware do you guys experience the least "black screens" or stalling/lag? I don't want to be installing random fixes just yet so I was hoping there's a firmware out there that has less or none of these issues.
Thanks in advance!

You can, just avoid the US/i9000M/i9008/Korean ROM's. But with XXJG1-JG5 roms on my singtel, I found the GPS didn't pick up a single sat.
I recommend XXJM5 currently.. GPS is usable (but still drifts, and doesn't respond when making sharp corners well), and everything which works on other roms seems to still work.
In regards to Froyo, don't bother. It's a fun play for a short time, but there are very few benefits, and plenty of serious disadvantages still (because JP1-JP3 still are in an early testing stage).
Also, it isn't known how service centres deals with flashing other regions firmware (and if they care enough to cancel warranty).

I also have an Asian SGS and im wondering if w/c is better JG5 or JM2.. Im still on our latest official firmware at JG4

can anyone share their experience of using european firmwares on asia models. i want to know too

[Q] Help regarding Froyo upgrade and region change

Hey guys, first time poster here but been lurking for a while. Need to say a big thanks for all the great work going on here.
Some background before getting to my questions:
I bought my phone while travelling on business in Sri Lanka, I believe the phone is an Indian version. The firmware it is running is DDJG4 (not sure what other info I should be including here). I am heading back to the UK next week and want to upgrade to the latest official Froyo, preferably a EU/UK version.
So, my question(s) are:
1) What version should I be looking? I have had a look around the forums and it seems the XEU variant is what I need, is this correct?
2) I have also seen that I may need to take modem firmware (?) or other regional hardware config issues into consideration when changing firmware region, what's the story with this?
3) I have been thinking about using Kies to upgrade to the latest XEU firmware using the registry hacks (ie changing the ProductCode and HIDSWVER). While I am tech savvy and have looked at the appropriate threads about using odin etc to upgrade, but honestly I don't have time for that kind of thing anymore. My question regarding Kies is: obviously I would put XEU as the ProductCode, but what would I need to put as the HIDSWVER?
Thanks

can anyone shed some light?

[Q] Unbranded 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 Official ROM for 9305

Hi all,
New here, so please go easy. I had a search around and am a bit lost in trying to find what I am looking for.
Hoping someone may be able to help me please.
Is there a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 unbranded ROM available for the 9305 (4G/LTE) model of the S3?
I have two GT-9305T's and want to get rid of the current the Australian Telstra ROM that's them.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.

For me I love the 4.1.2 I will never go back untill we officially get the 4.1.2 thanks to Ausdim we dont have to wait. Its much better then 4.11 more responsive more options and all round better

To answer his question: yes there is an unbranded version for sure. Atm only for 4.1.1. This is one of them: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=9082
(For Sweden, but does not matter, you should be able to use any of them)
I flashed the Sweden one myself since I imported a Vodafone one from Germany.

[Q] Please Help - GT i9305 LTE

Firstly, i'm really sorry for being such an ignoramus on the subject of this phone. I am actually an experienced IT 'professional' but for the life of me i can't find what looks like a reliable method for updating the firmware on my GT i9305 LTE handset... I bow to your knowledge of all things Android...
I am running version 4.1.1 and would very much like to upgrade to the latest 'stable' version of android. I am based in the UK and am on the EE network using a 4G contract.
Kernel Version 3.0.31
Build number JRO03C.I9305XXALI5
So far I have tried:
1) Going into the phone's Settings>About Device
- result - no "update" software option is shown
2). Downloading and installing Kies 3 and updating the firmware with the built in facility
-result - awful! the updater gets to 15% downloaded and then disappears. Though processes are still running...
3) Downloading Samsung GS3 Toolkit
- result - i have been too scared to go any further as i can't seem to find what looks like a good and reliable ROM for this phone (GT i9305 LTE) on EE...
Question - does it even matter which network i'm on as far as the ROM is concerned? What about the country as long as it's English?
If anyone can help me with this i would be most most grateful!
Charles

Use this, pre rooted E E rom.
