Branded or Not (O2 Germany) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
last week I bought a GS2 from O2 Germany (O2 myHandy without SIM contract). I am not shure if it ist branded or not. Or if I have to use the O2 Firmware Update.
There is no special software installed, only the SAMSUNG Stuff.
If I root my GS2 is it possible to unroot and to bring it back to original state so that I can sent in for warranty?
O2, Germany
"HIDSWVER" = "I9100XWKE2/I9100OXXKE3/I9100XXKDJ/I9100XWKE2"
"ProductCode" = "GT-I9100LKAVIA"
Thank you for your time... und support...

Flash O2 firmware will remove root or any stock firmware .
O2 UK original rom in Dev section dont know about German ..
O2 UK branding was only O2 boot screen and a few bookmarks .

How to know if my rom is branded ?

Hi guys,
a quick question please, how can I tell if the rom that I have on my phone is branded to O2 or not? I'm on KF3 via kies and I just rooted it.
Many thanks
Do you see o2 logo or any other message o2 brand start up or on the software part of the phone?
If not have you tried another network sim? Does another network sim work on your phone?
If you are on KF3 via Kies that was the latest O2 upgrade .
O2 branding is O2 splash screen at boot and a few O2 sites in the web browser and O2 Arena wallpaper .
O2 phones are branded do you actually mean is it locked to O2 network ??

Go to Settings -> Info and scroll down until you see your kernel. Now search the forum for the string you see there. The part that answers your question is I9100XWKF3 where XW or whatever you have tells you the region/branding and KF3 tells you the kernel version.

Your branded phone provider could in theory refuse warranty .
But you are still covered by Samsung warranty .

Need Stock ROM for Branded Telekom S3 from germany

Hello,
I just found a dead pixel on my new S3 and I'm really sad about it.
Now I want to send it to warranty, but I rooted it and flashed a Custom ROM.
I also installed Siyah Kernel 1.5b3, so I need to revert the kernel also.
My S3 was Telekom Branded as it arrived and I bought it in germany.
Could someone please post the official stock ROM of my telekom branded s3 from germany? I really can't find it.
Use CHECKFUS to download .

branded s3 i9300

hi,
i have a branded s3 i9300 on sfr france that i unbranded on a mobile shop ,but now i update the s3 from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 via kies and the s3 return branded,after some search on forum i found that i need only to flash an international stock-rom via odin .
now my question is :
1- will my date get lost (photo+apps+contact+video.....) ?
2- do i still have the samuing update?
3-will it be some network problems?
thanks.
sorry for my bad english .
Go to Sam mobile/checkfus and download the undranded version for your country.
As long as you DON'T do a wipe/factory reset at any point flash with odin and you will keep all your apps ect.
Make a back up just in case something does go wrong.

[Q] How to chose stock rom and prepare for warranty?

Hello, first of all I want to say that I searched in this xda forum and Google, but I don't really found good answer.
So I need to send my phone to warranty (because my phone have hissing problem). And I need to ask how to know which stock rom chose. Because my phone come from France- I think that because box is in France language (I was stupid and don't have original information.) Also sorry for bad English.

If you are sending back then the original rom is the norm .
But who are you sending back to and who is supplying the warranty the vendor ???

I want send s3 international ( hissing problem). And warranty do -mttc. lt ( everything in lithuanina language).
And what you mean with ''original rom is the norm''?
Original is the norm means the firmware that came with the phone .
You buy a UK phone and it comes with UK firmware that is what goes back on for return to vendor under warranty in the UK .
In your case you have a phone supplied from another country possibly a grey import .
The supplier of the phone is the one to ask what firmware do they want on for a warranty repair .I would put back the firmware it came with .

So which france stock rom I should chose, i found like orange,nrj... Btw is it possible to see difrences in s3 from uk and maybe france, but with same stock rom? Also i heard rumors that some people sends phones with custom roms and they fix phones, but they come back with stock rom, is it possible?
custom roms and they fix phones, but they come back with stock rom, is it possible?
If you are paying for a repair then custom rom should make no difference .
Warranty will be rejected with a custom rom see how to return to stock for warranty thread .
