Hi 2 ALL,
I purchased my i9100 couple day's ago and found that phone is from some network in Hungary. I think it's from T-Mobile becouse there is some ringtones with that name.
My question is, will I be able to update my phone with any firmware from ur site an have simfree phone since I'm not on t-mobile network, or my phone will lock again and I'll newer be able to use it again....
Yes, as long as it's a I9100 and not a I9100 variant

Hi guys.
When flashing firmware through odin, sometimes there are 3 files to be flashed, and in certain cases only one (pda). Why is that?? I flashed 2.3.4 android using odin with only one .tar file, but now for 2.3.5 there are three files. I live in austria, and I flashed the "official" austrian version. Whats the difference between those versions? I am on austrian tmobile, and i wouldnt like to loose the network settings? Can someone clear this mystery for me, since I am really confused?
Thank you guys in advance!!

hi,
when you have one file, it means it has all been packaged into one and you flash it under the PDA section of odin,
when you have the 3 seperate files you put them into their individual sections in odin.
- Don't select Re-Partition!
hope this helps
Thank you for your reply!
It is definately helping. But, what does it mean the firmware that i flashed is for austria? They released 2.3.4 for many countries... Why does it matter? Whats the difference between this one and firmwares for other countries?

Official Austrian version is Android 2.3.4 and the XXKI3 for Poland is Android 2.3.5.
So what will happen if I flash the polish version? I am talking about firmwares in general, even the 2.3.4... Why did they separate it that way? Isnt it pretty much the same for all the countries?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
dude,VERY IMPORTANT WARNING what "intratech" has given you.Do not select re-partition unless you are using a pit file.You are not so DO NOT tick this box or you will brick your phone.
Ya i figured that from all those different flashing guides... Thanks though... Do u maybe have an answer to my question about android version for different countries? Would it make any difference if I installed the polish 2.3.5 version on my austrian galaxy s2?

So can I just flash the android version (PDA), and the baseband (Phone), without flashing the CSC?

Yes if you want just flash firmware without CSC or change CSC after .

hi all,
I am buying a Galaxy S2 as a present for my OH on O2 UK. She is on giffgaff. I know that I do not need to unlock it as the SIM should work without a problem.
However I want to flash the firmware to remove the O2 branding (splash screen, animations, etc) + the bloatware.
I have read this thread [GUIDE] Debrand & Rebrand back to O2 for Samsung Galaxy S2 on how to use Odin. However I cannot find the firmware to download, even using the these links within the thread.
Even sammobile website is a bit confusing on which firmware to download for a handset bought on O2
Therefore my question is: Where can I find a plain Samsung SIM free firmware to download???? Is it different for every carrier???
Sorry for the noob questions but I couldn't figure it out yet.
Help is much appreciated.

Just download latest unbranded stock ROM for UK. Should be XWLPT.

Simlock is stored in nv_data.bin in efs folder -> flashing other FW won't make your phone unlocked. You need NCK code.

Even PAYG????
WHy do customers normally fill an online form to ask for unlock code?
Anyhow my OH is on giffgaff (pigback O2), so the handset shouldn't be an issue, even if it is locked. Just want to flash it to remove bloatware and splash/animation
May go 4.0.3 XWLP7 firmware
As far as I know.
And both my phones were on unbranded lp7.

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.

So basically in an attempt to unroot my omega 4.5 running galaxy s3 t-i9300 i ended up bricking it!
I managed to fix this issue by restoring the right firmware which is compatible with m440s however this is an skt file and some of the aspects within the phone are chinese for instance the phone.
I need a uk or english based firmware, please help!!!
Much appreciated

It is not an i9300, it is a Korean model. Suggest you find a forum specifically for your phone. This forum is for the international model i9300. Checking on sammobile, only Korean firmware is available.

so whats my next step?
Just looking, there is a thread in the general section about rooting/custom roms, etc for your device. I would go to general and search for it.
Did you find the software?

Yes there is a thread for Korean models... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749214
You have two choices... 1, download official firmware from somewhere like sammobile and installing it or 2, downloading any custom rom for the i9300 and reading up on how to install it on the m440s page of that thread.
As its not a UK phone there will be no UK firmware for it.Will it work in the UK that depends upon basebands and modem.

It's Korean letters btw. You can install UK firmware but you have to run the kernel converter after. I have link to it on my m440s page.
