[Q] I9305 in Australia. Has HK 4.3 firmware. Need help

Hi,
I just bought a brand new network unlocked I9305. When I went ,to use it I noticed that reception was very poor in my area whereas my old S2 was great. I checked the device details against those on Sammobile firmware and found it was from Hong Kong. I also noticed that the only i9305 android 4.3 release for Australia is an official Optus one which I assume has all the Optus bloatware which I want to avoid if possible.
After reading numerous threads here I found the current firmware has the Knox bootloader and currently set to 0.
Is there a way to flash another official stock XSA 4.3 firmware that will work properly in Australia using odin, that won't upset or trigger Knox?

Thanks I've seen that but unfortunately it is for the T version. My phone is the I9305. I believe mine is an international version.
cheers

upgrade to 4.4.4
I had many issues with 4.3 (battery draining, ui force closing,..) after i flashed 4.4.4 stock rom its working perfectly fine

my device is l9305 international version

Thanks for the suggestion.
Will the Germany version work fine in Australia? Does it have any carrier bloatware?
cheers

Im in Sri Lanka. U may have to confirm whether the base band is compatible for Aus.
It does not have any carrier bloatware.
Apps that comes with the OS can be turned off in kitkat (at-least in 4.4.4). So dont worry about bloatware.
I also managed to get it rooted using "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar"

Great I'll check that out. Many thanks

Also note that,
when u root 4.4.4 using the mentioned autoroot file the SuperSU app will force close. Don't worry just manually install SuperSU version 2.02 and it will be fine.
If u cant find it let me know. The version in google play is 2.01 and does not work for 4.4.4
Cheers :good:

I don't know, I had tried to flash a russian ROM and it failed, had to reinitialize via kies

I've flashed on my phone lots of roms with odin, the only time one failed was a Serbian ROM, but I thought it was because the download failed.
As soon as I finish downloading this I'll report if it works.

finally,awesome new

Link to SM-G900H Lollipop (5.0)
True indeed. Unfortunately I can't post the link but send me a message if interested. Nevertheless, I will see if I can post a Mega link after some time.

I wonder if someone can change this rom to custom. So we can flash it easily from recovery. Please guys we want a stock custom rom.

plz post mega link

Exynos update is only available in one region, though it’s only a matter of time before the update becomes available to others either through Samsung Kies, an OTA or both methods. To check for the OTA, you can always head to Settings> System> About Device> Software Update.:thumbup::thumbup::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

Are from the same region? I have a problem similar to this one: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f777/s5-g900h-flashing-issue-help-please-1815541/
But I'm on a locked bootloader, so I can't flash any recovery as the workaournd mentons.

How to install kazakstan firmware to india s5 exynos octa????
hi i have downloaded the kazakstan firmware and i want to install it to s5 india..
my phone is not rooted
please tell me how can i install the firmware?

I am on my 3rd reinstall, first I upgraded via Odin on top of kitkat, and system was too slow, 2nd I rooted via auto root (It works btw) and apparently I deleted with Titaniun Backup something important and system refused to boot. 3rd reinstall I just rooted and deleted some bloatware and everything is working ok. This is Multilingual btw. overall not so fast no so slow, I use cm12 official nightly in another device and its just a bit slower. Used Sammobile link to get the file

Hi! i downloaded it today and it's running now! works great! i don't know how to root the device with android 5

It works perfectly. Although I tried different versions of the country. Can we root that? Is anyone try to root it?

Reset my device to complete stock lollipop?

Hello,
I am running CM12.1 on my device at the moment but sadly my WiFi issue still persists.
I want to return to 100% stock lollipop (or any other if available).
I want to flash the whole device completely. Like delete every possible file and driver and install everything back.
How do I achieve this?
I don't see any stock lollipop images lying around this forum.

Bump!
I would like to do this not before giving it to the services station.

Well, you should've posted in the Q&A section.
Anyway, what's your model number?
What stock were you on before you put CM12.1?

and follow this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...using-t2446515
please use the firmware from the link only. if you attempt to downgrade to kitkat, you will most likely brick your device

Will I be having the same Europe version?
Or will I be having the GB version?
What will happen if I flash the Europe version on my GB device?
Will it be a brick even though both are XT-1052?

Here's the link to GB firmware - http://www.filefactory.com/file/3vbcl95dai2b/XT1052_GHOST_RETGB_5.1_LPA23.12-15_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
But the server is very slow.
Anyway, I used the Europe version a to restore my Asia Retail device to stock without any problem.
The ROMs for XT1052 are cross compatible since all the XT1052s have same hardware.
You'd be safe as long as you do not try to downgrade.

Thank you soooo much, I won't downgrade as you said.
One last think I would like to ask is that, will they accept my phone with WiFi and Bluetooth not working with an unlocked bootloader?
I unlocked it to further diagnose the phone and flashed CyanogenMod.
As it seems that drivers are missing.
I posted here,

The model I have is 815y so could I flash just about anything with the number of 815...

I'm not sure what the difference is between the 815 and 815y.
I'm guessing, but I would think anything with 815 should work.
Before you try it, I would create a backup of your current setup using TWRP.
Also, I would download the firmware for 815y (the version you're currently using, just in case of disaster.

Won't any OTA update

I bought note 9 (N960USQS1CSD1 - Snapdragon - United States) and i installed pie update with one ui.
unfortunately, my device does not have Turkish language, for this I need to install european ROM.
Are there any solution suggestions?

Have you tried installing any updates using Odin?

No i don't. This is stock software. And can't see any updates on sammobile website.
