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.

Note 5 SM-N9200 HK CN TW

Lets share some info about this..
HK Note 5 N9200 has gapps installed. Definitely has less developement on this device compare to N920* International version.
China Note 5 will not have gapps installed. 100% Firm unless someone modded it.
Anyone got their note 5 from hk/cn/tw already ?

I just ordered one on eBay from Taiwan.

Is in N9208 Google apps and other international languages?

I haven't received it yet sorry

I got an offer for SM-N9200 but I am hesitant whether it has google services installed and all that or not. It is from HK though so it makes sense for it to have those, but would still love confirmation either way. Once you get it, let us know
EDIT: nevermind, found a video that shows that N9200 actually comes with Play Store etc. youtube.com/watch?v=ucGQJA8KJR4

would this model work her in slovenia?

Please, publish screenshot of installed languages
and google market and apps

hk version = gapps will always comes with the device preinstalled...
china version = no gapps preinstalled...

note 5 is still not out in china, only s6 edge+, got mine from HK confirm with gapps

Yeah, all android phones come with gapps in HK.

Hi there can someone confirm wether the Note 5 N9200 dous comes with playstore on stock. I'm looking to purchase one here in the uk.

Just got my N9200 in HK yesterday, i can confirm that GAPPS are included.

Anyone able to find a root kernel for this variant?

Can anyone please tell me if the N9200 will get LTE on the Canadian Rogers network?

I just found this link supposedly with a root for the N9200
http://apk.tw/thread-706898-1-1.html
Do any of you guys speak Chinese and can translate? Is this trustworthy?

I'm wondering, is there any other difference between Galaxy Note 5 N920 and N9200 beside the fact that N9200 is dual sim and N920 is not?
I found them both in my country and the N9200 Chinese version (I think) looks nice if it's the same as N920 but is also dual SIM. It's just another point for it.

I have a N9200 one. It is the same especification as N920. I was thinking that I would be able to put a sd card in slot 2 as A3,A5 and A7 samsung's phones but It is not possible???

The difference between HK and China version, that China's doesn't come with Gapps, and doesn't have app drawer.
Its not a problem to install Gapps, but you'll have to use different launcher for the drawer.
Still waiting for root. I want to install some clean rom with out 300 samsung apps...

Yeah bro, all the reviews said you cannot..

@JN9 - Well, at least it's dual-sim, if you need that. Too bad it doesn't have a microSD card slot, because Android M allows users to use cards as internal storage for apps and more, but that's that. We have to deal with it.

Difference between N9200 and N9208

Any thoughts. Both N9200 and N9208 support the same LTE bands. I assume the difference is something to do with level of Chinese language support? I ask as I have N9208 and this set to English does not work consistently for keyboard predictions and S Pen handwriting input, not as good as the UK only Note 4.

I did some research. Looks like both models the same except N9208 is dual SIM. So both probably have special support for Chinese.

No such problems here - Set mine to English & everything is in English.

Perhaps I need to reset. So your S Pen input instead of keyboard with the 4 quadrants works okay?

Hey mate, how did you go with English language support issues on your Note 5, as I'm planning to get 9208, but want to make sure, everything works as normal. Any help is appreciated.

Sorry I sold my N9208 in the end and got a 920C. The 920c is great for UK use.

Hello there
NOTE 5 DUOS my device SM N9208 CSC Malaysia
ASIA my device
I want to install ROMs for this device EUROPE ROM ... EUROPE MODEL SM N920CD
I've tried it, but gave error
maybe I could not
or
Which model SM N ???? Need to install
FOR EUROPE
which supports
Which ROM ???
to take a different ROM
Do I need to change the CSC code?
these devices do not support a different ROM?
or this process
Do I need to root?
Do you have the same problem living
briefly
Do you have finished this problem?
what should I do ?
Does anyone have information?
Could you please help me ?

both N9200 and N9208 are dual-sim
but N9200 it have extra CDMA bands (2G CDMA - CDMA800 , 3G CDMA- BC0(800), 3G TD-SCDMA B34(2010), B39(1880))
N9200 are for Hong Kong and China Open
N9208 are for Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mayanmar, Indonesia, India, Mayalesia, Philipines
in rest are the same

I have a N9200 HK model which I got imported. Now I am using the phone in India, is it possible to flash N9208 firmware on N9200 from sammobile via odin as both are dual sim phones with same hardware.

so... when I put rom from N9208 to N9200 should be ok with bands on second sim ?

I am quite certain that N9208 ROM won't work on N9200 since none of the other N9208 ROMs work on N9208 (not even N9208 Indian ROM works on Taiwan variant) (pretty differently built hardware maybe). Since there is no cross-device compatibility of N9208 with any other, hence I am guessing that vice-versa also may not be possible. It could return an error in ODIN during flashing.
Although, I'd say you may be lucky if you try downloading from sammobile and flashing through ODIN. Let us know how it goes, it may be helpful for folks who have been trying to install cross-device stock ROM on Note5 (especially us N9208 Taiwan variant users). :fingers-crossed:

De-Brand s10 Exynos

Hi guys!
I wonder if you know it's possible to change the "operator branding" to have faster updates (insted of waiting months for brand update)
I have a Galaxy s10 exynos Brand TIM (italian operator)
I dind't find any guide as s10plus or s10e

Anybody?

Yes, but you have to install a different firmware via Odin, make sure you use your specific model firmwares.

I have a G973F csc BTU and cant flash the Portuguese TPH, even flashed in odin i allways got btu/btu,btu/btu.....didnt change nothing

Apparently there is now a way to chance the CSC which requires a paid service. Look for replies about samkey in the thread linked below.
Thread here on XDA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/how-to/change-csc-code-firmware-sim-card-t3907375

Yeah my model is the SM-G973F
I saw few posts that talk about samkey but It cost (minimum 45€?)

It's possible to install the new android 10 beta?
I read that in german there is the beta program

Maybe it's work, if you flash other firmware via Odin and a other sim card insert of your country.
Often the csc changed than, because of first start time with the new sim card insert.
I did this last week for work with a Samsung Galaxy A50 (2019). There was a spain firmware flashed (php) and I flashed german region free (dbt). The csc code changed only, when I insert a german prepaid sim card.

Thanks! I will try! ?

Download the Samsung members app and register for android 10 open beta.
After few minutes waiting you become the OTA Android 10 / One UI 2.
Maybe you must manual search for updates under settings updates.
