I want to get back to my stock rom but checking *#1234# won't work for me because it brings the info from rom.
I bought my phone from a small phone shop abroad so I don't really know the origin of the phone.
Is there any other way to learn what is the origin of the phone and what stock rom would work for me?
I dont really understand the question but if you want to check the phone info so go to settings - about phone

You need to get the details of the phone off the box and from under the battery .
Then its guesswork unless you saved your original details .
Replacing firmware has wiped the original firmware details .

So does that mean I can flash any stock rom I want? When I checked the "guide to download and flash stock rom" there is a list of different stock roms(based on countries and/or gsm operators). and I know that different phones have different hw modules(camera etc). I wonder if any stock rom would be fine with any device out there?

I think that as long as you flash a Stock ROM with your contry code / region enabled, you shouldnt have any problems. For example, if you have an US phone, I wouldn't flash an indian Stock ROM in it...

I tried samfirmware.com but they have firmwares which do not match the one i have...

hello im having sgs2 i9100gt is it possible to install other regions firmwares on my phone.if so then how 2 do that .thx
1) Yes. However, if you do flash stock firmware for a different region on your phone you might not (likely) be able to get updates for your region via OTA update anymore.
2) Depends on where you download the firmware from, for example, if you download it from Samfirmware.com, follow whatever instructions they have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site. If you end up with a single file, you can normally flash this in the PDA section of Odin following instructions here if the site you download it from has no specific instructions, but always check.

hey pal in the first place why do u want 2 install other region firmware on ur phone since it might start posing problemslike data connection issues and all always stick to the one pertaining 2 ur region else find a custom rom suitable for ur phone
I am looking to flash a ROM to my SGS3 but have to start again as a noob.
I have used mskips tool to root the phone ( i think ) In the tools menus it gives an option to download a stock ROM from samsung-roms i think and it gives some different versions that end in:
XXALE8
XXALEF etc, etc
What do these refer to and how do i find what is suitable for me/most up to date.
My carrier is T-Mob UK and the letters from my Device Info page is BVALE4...not sure it is the same thing yet but im guessing so. I am first looking to try a stock/rooted ROM and then i will probably move up to custom stuf once my knowledge grows a little...along with my confidence. Any pointers welcome.
Best Regards

HI guys I lost my original Samsung gs3 stock rom, when I flashed a new Rom "checkrom evo v6" I'm a novice in operating android phones, I didn't have a clue about backing up and my warranty being void by customizing my phone. I have searched every website with the hope of downloading stock rom related to my phone to no avail.I'm in desperate need of having my phone unrooted and going back to the way it was. Pls respond in layman terms

Thanks for your response, first my region is ireland, and I did check Sammobile, the firmware link on the website seem to be for registered members only. Tried registering several times but for some strange reason it keeps failing. I would like to know if I could do same download through Samsung kiers and the difference between a stock Rom and a stock firmware? Thanks

I'm on the 3IE network, and running the jellybean 4.1.1, I've it unlocked all these before I rooted my device.
Both 4.1.2 and 4.1.1 (and everything before that) are available on SamMobile for your phone.
I still can't post links so you'll have to de-butcher this, but that'll take you to a listing of firmwares for your country/carrier. Choose the one you want!

Sorry chucky17ng, I didn't read your post properly. For your purposes there is no practical difference between "firmware" and "ROM". And no, if you have rooted then Kies will bomb out saying your device has been modified.
Your best bet is to grab the firmware once your registration goes through (or source it somewhere else), drop the file onto your phone, then flash it with mobile Odin.
There are other ways, but I know that one works.

Hello everybody
I am new in this forum so please don't hate.
I hade S3 with orginal branded system but it was very slow so i wanted to get orginal rom without branding. I gave my phone to my uncle and he roted it and instaled TWRP (teamwin), galaxy apps and namless rom. This rom is a custom room and it has a lot of problems like: sometimes camera isin't working, widgets are invisible, galaxy apps weren' working (so i made a mistake and deleted it and now other google apps like YT aren't working) and there are a lot of another bugs. I have Odin and orginal version of non branded system from SamMobile. My question is do I need to do unroot before pluging telephone to pc and using odin or this is unnessery? I am new in xda and I don't now much about programing and stuff like this. So please help me!!
I would not use the image file from SamMobile to repair this issue. If you give me your exact model and serial off the sticker under battery, I can get you the Service files you need to COMPLETELY fix your issues.
And NO, your not going to need to unroot the device if you use the Service Files. It will under it for you!
Please let me know!
You can just flash the same rom over it to repair it.
You can flash with odin but im not 100% about debranding. If the phone is unlocked you should be ok using a btu (international) rom.
Make sure you know your efs version if you plan on flashing anything less than 4.3.
The answer to your question is no. You do not need to unroot but you WIll lose root.
Sent from a stolen phone!
The best way is to tell your uncle to restore stock firmware debloated.
Otherwise,find out your baseband version and model number and search xda for the CORRECT rom and flash it using ODIN.
