I want move from my branded vodafone rom to the latest stock rom. so am I correct in assuming all I have to do is get the latest stock rom from one of the other threads and flash using odin?
Is there anything else I should look out for?
You'll have to reset the phone after flashing, if you want to change the phone's csc
Pick a rom with CSC for your area is the best method .

Hi, I just got a new Galaxy S2 but it is locked to O2 and is O2 firmware branded.
I don't mind wiping all data (since there's nothing on it yet), but is there a way I can change the firmware to the original Galaxy S2 firmware?
Or what is fastest?
I don't like all the preinstalled junk that has come with the phone, I'm not bothered about unlocking it since I'm using O2 anyway.

Flash a uk rom from here. I'm personally using KH3 with XEU CSC
Locked then you need to get it unlocked .
Debrand O2 in Dev section as well .

Do I need to unlock it before I put the stock firmware on?
To unlock you need to root (use cf-root) then download chainfires unlock app from the market (may not work on newer sgs2's due to them being more secure)
You dont need to be rooted or unlocked to flash a newer stock firmware, there is a fully guide and list of firmwares to download from this thread, using any firmware from there will debrand the phone, try KG6 (older) or KH3 (newer) both are good 2.3.4 roms.
So right now i have 2.3.6 stock downloaded from samfirmware.com and flashed with Odin. I want to flash the 4.0.3 because of the perfomance increase, but i have 2 questions:
1. I'm on Orange Mobile Carrier, if i flash a firmware from Vodafone, will my sim card still work? Will I have problems?
2. I'm from Romania, if i'll flash a firmware from UK or Germany, will be any problem?
Help please

Probably but you may need to enter network settings manually .
2. I'm from Romania, if i'll flash a firmware from UK or Germany, will be any problem?
As above is CSC is not for your location and does not contain your network details .

The problem is the following the S2 go to assistance again but this time to be exchanged for a new one.
I am with the following problem, the S2 was Vodafone Branded (PORTUGAL) i unlocked and I installed the rom TPH ( portugal carrier free) and the problem is that now install either 2.3.5 or the new ICS vodafone and even doing factory reset he did not let me select the CSC TCL (Original one) says must always be three chars.
If I can help would appreciate, and there is a possibility of making a vodafone Sim Lock again?
Greetings and thanks
I think I can translate what you're asking.
1) did you actually sim unlock? Or just flash non branded firmware?
2) are you actually trying to flash a rom with your csc in? They don't all have every csc.
3) if you have flashed an unbranded rom you won't be able to flash vodafones csc. Just find out what the generic Portugal one is and use that.

1) yes i did sim unlock
2) my phone was branded Vodafone (CSC TCL) and i Flash the TPH (carrier free)
3) I need to put back the original CSC because my s2 go to samsung to be exchange for another one
In that case you need to check out Odia's (I think) thread in development and download your appropriate carrier branded firmware. Then just hope they don't notice your sim is unlocked.

Please forgive me if this is a dumb question but can I use the ROM from different provider in my tablet ?
I have a P7500 with canadian provider videotron who will not upgrade to ICS or JB. I've been trying without success to use CM 10.1 but I'm wondering if I could flash with an official rom from another canadian provider and upgrade via kies or ota.
I'm assuming everything should be compatible since videotron and rogers both use hspa+ network but are the roms from sammobile unlocked ? Would their Rogers rom work with my Videotron sim card ?
well im using a custom rom with rogers provider
custom roms are not provider dependant.
even using the voice call modem (baseband) and it works great.
i dont see why not..but recovery from odin should not be a problem
in other words difference between rogers p7500 and videotron p7500 is it's bloatware that is not in custom roms
My question is not about custom roms, it's about the official roms available at SamMobile. Are they locked to their providers ?
