The M just marks it as a the Bell model. Yes you can. Bell ICS isn't out yet.
Superuser means it is rooted. Dunno if its unlocked or how to.

Hey, quick question.
I have an s2 and it's rooted running an AKOP ROM. My girlfriend just bought one too, but Orange have sent her the newer i9100p with NFC. There's no official ICS upgrade either! Because it's different, can I still root it and flash say an AKOP ROM, or is that likely to damage it?
Cheers

You can flash any non i9100G variant i9100 ROM/firmware to an i9100P, but you will lose NFC if you do. (though there are allegedly ways to re-enable it out there on P models if you do this... Search for then)
Orange have released I9100PBLVP6 ICS. Find it at Samfirmware.com. Use CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 to root.

Is there a SOCR method available for the S3?
This would be handy for the day I get the device to test everything, before I install CF-Root, in case I have to RMA due to a production error.
No socr yet. Soon

socr is only for froyo and for other you need root trough CWM.

However i rooted my phone, so i was planning to use triangle away to remove this, but it says i need to reflash with the stock firmware to be perfect, but the stock firmware for my region did not come out yet.
What should i do?
Please give me some help

Hey I'm Australian and own an S3.. I'm sick of Vodafone update strategy.. I want to root, what do you think?
Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2
Ye root it, i rooted it too, except i think i need a replacement cause my phone has a problem.
Rooting could do lots of stuff.
If you ain't that good with computers and you don't want to stress yourself finding stuffs and working on it, don't do it cause it can risk your phone and might not brick.
Otherwise it's great to root
I've had the GNex.. I just hope it's as easy. Vodafone seriously piss me off..
I think Im Gonna root it.. just regret I didn't do that the moment I got it.. cause I seriously can't be stuffed going through the whole set up process again..

no need of rooting

You can also download latest Official Firmwares from http://samfirmware.com
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. But you'll be able to do so with root too...
Many people confuse the two, so just to clarify:
Rooting means having a tiny modification in the phone's operating system so it doesn't restrict you from superuser commands.This will not affect your installed data or ability to upgrade.
Custom Roms is replacing the stock rom with a new operating system package someone else built which may or may not largely differ from Samsung's own version.

I just want an official non branded ROM .so I can get the latest updates without carrier delays .
Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2
There are always delays, whether carrier-, region-, or whatever-related.
You can flash the newer Rom's through Odin tough (again: the flashcounter does not increase with original ROM's) to get it as soon as the file is released.
Unbranded S1's had to wait several months for Froyo update over here...
Where can I find the latest official firmware?
Also since I'm in Australia.. does it matter what region firmware I update to? Say.. can I update to an European based firmware?

Hi I'm new to this but I've been following xda for about a year.
Can I flash my Australian Telstra Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300T Jelly Bean 4.1.2 I9300TDUELL2 ROM and replace it with the International, Unbranded Version I9300XXEMB5 originally made for the GT-I9300?
Will this cause any problems and is it indeed possible for me to perform this operation, as many Mods, such as InkEffect, do not support that ROM Version?
Thanks in advance
it's possible, but you might have modem issues

As said before, you can and try different modems (I9300 or T model once) till you got a good one. I am running the same setup and got no issue at all.
