It's country/carrier based. Amazon has a bunch of SGS II from different countries HK, UK, and wherever else. You can flash different FW to it, doesn't matter.

Thank you...
so flashing any version.. Does it void waranty?

No, if it's Samsung's Stock rom. Yes, if it's a custom rom. That's why you buy a USB jig, so you can reset the download count so they wouldn't know anything.

[Q] removing splashscreen

Hi All,
I'm new to the android community moving from a iPhone. Now I purchased the Samsung galaxy s3 2 weeks ago. I was wondering is there any way to remove the carrier splashscreen on boot and shut down screen. I purchased this in the UK from the carrier three. . and to be honest I can't stand it the damn splashscreen. I have rooted my device but just can't find a way to remove the splashscreen.
also i heard there's a way to remove the bloatware from it, it seems that when looking at my ram using its never below 400 despite me going to task manger and clearing the memory. I'm assuming its all the bloatware on the phone that's using it up right?
Would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
U can root ur phone,with cf root,then make a full wipe via cwm recovery (incl. formating system and boot) and then flash unbranded latest firmware for the UK.. and that's it

Get a new S3 from a shop? It would be great if you can explain your situation in a bit more detail and someone might actually write something helpful.

the rom in your link is not an international i9300 rom but one for I747 at&t s3, so it is not compatible.
choose one of the i9300 forums and look in the stickies in general section, there is everything explained
Edit: sorry i was too late...
any suggestion...

GT I9300 = S3 International version
I think T-Mobile is SGH-T999
