[Q] No luck Unlocking/Debranding my samsung galaxy S2 I9100G - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
as the title of my thread shows, i've had no luck unlocking my samsung galaxy S2 I9100G, i'm in Morocco, and my phone can only work/recognise one carrier ( Maroc Telecom) which is frustarting for me because it doesn't recognise my original simcard from the other operater (Meditel)
i've tried flashing ROMs, but noticed that it wasn't the source of the problem, i thought it was the CSC so i flashed my phone whith a multiCSC ROM, which has FWD(unbranded CSC for Morocco), but it didn't solve it neither
i'm hoping that you may help to make my phone work whith all the phone operators/carriers in Morocco
Thank you

That sounds like a SIM lock, not a branding issue. Flashing a CSC or firmware won't fix that. You need a SIM unlocker.

I have flashed an ICS 4.0.3 LP7 Firmware over to an I9100T and the Firmware is an I9100 firmware, and I have no issues with it so far, signal and data speeds are fine and everything works as it should
I hope this helps somebody else

You can use a XEU Firmware or the O2 UK Firmware, check the Firmware-Thread here in the Forum =>

I also have the same problem. I have bought my phone in Switzerland and live in France. I bought my phone on my own (it is not included in any contracts). Can I just take XWKJ2 Firmware from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and tick PDA, Phone and CSC in Odin to reset my phone and have it working with Kies?
Easiest way is use an app called "checkfus" from the market. It's free.
Basically checkfus can search the same servers as kies does and find the latest firmware available from your carrier.
Then go to intratechs official carrier firmware thread and download the version that checkfus told you was the latest for your carrier.
Flash this via Odin following intratechs instructions.
Use a USB jig to get rid of any flash counter. Sets it to official firmware with 0 flash counter.
If you want at this stage you can do a wipe if you don't want any data on your phone.
At this point your phone will be as if you just unboxed it. kies should work and everything.
Hope this helps.

I have download and installed checkfus and it is very easy to use

I have the same question for my I9300 / Galaxy S3.
I'd like to thank all the people that posted an answer, but point out there is no answer.
I want to know if there is any way for me to find out what my original firmware was. And is there a way for a service center to check if the firmware matches the imei or serial number?
As long as its official Samsung firmware(and probably for your region) what do they care.

Kies has this option build-in. Just select initialize device from menu or something like that, than enter you phone serial number and model name and voila.
It will tell you what original factory firmware was preinstalled and even flash it if you like.

I tried this, It says " GT i9100 does not support initialising "
I know my phone is from poland. polish was the default language for my fone. Later my phone got bricked, So I had to flash it. Wen i searched it in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 I saw quite a few firmwares from poland. Tried XXLPQ and XXKI4. But the default language came as English UK . I think I flashed it with wrong firmware. I am confused with which CSC should be used. OXA or XEO .
Is there any chance to find the stock firmware with IMEI and S/N
S/N : RDZB913735Z
can you kindly check for me, wats the official firmware for my phone.
Thanks and Regards.
Allrigt I will check this but don't publish your IMEI here. PM me.
Poland have XEO code. But if phone was branded than it can be operator's code (IDE - Orange, TLP - T-mobile...)

Thanks man,
Now i am sure its XEO , its unbranded, international version, bought from amazon.com
I'm sorry but Kies can not initialize this phone. This could mean that your phone was not branded and you can flash any official XEO firmware if you want to repair it in Sammys Service Center.
You can flash 4.0.4 immidiatelly with Odin or, if you feel that you absolutly must use Kies to upgrade (don't know why) than flash official 4.0.3 (XXLWP) it is stock for XEO region and after that change your CSC by dialing service code *#272*IMEI# (IMEI - your IMEI number). From pop-up menu choose XEO. Phone will be wiped and new CSC will be set. You can check this in 3e recovery (yellow information text at the bottom) or in Kies - there should be (XEO) at the end of the line with current version information. Than you can upgrade to 4.0.4 via Kies or FOTA.

[Q] SG SIII I9300T version firmware help

Hello., few months ago my phone stopped loading while charging. It keep getting stuck at samsung logo. Then i searched from internet and found this firmwares and installed on my phone but didnt work. I downloaded many firmwares and installed by Odin3. One of them had 4 files inside: 1. for Bootloader, 2) for PDA 3) for Phone, 4) for CSC. Then i installed them all but didn work.
But after sticking around forums for days I found out that my phone is Samsung Galaxy S III I9300T so its different than Samsung Galaxy S III I9300.
So i found this firmware SGS III I9300T and installed it. My phone is back on! but unfortunately I cant access wi-fi or use my simcard. It shows the wifi networks around but cant access, tried it to many wifi's. So I've been using my phone as a ipod (just for songs, video and pics ) since then.
Can someone help me please to find the all 4 files for SG S III I9300T version to fix my problem? or If the problem is not from that give me some suggestions please?
thank you experts!

Go to samfirmware.com and choose "Check your firmware" Then choose GT-i9300T and your carrier.
It should then offer links to various firmwares.

thanks for the reply WinterFruity
I checked the website it shows:
Latest firmware info
GT-I9300T Galaxy S III
PDA: I9300TDUEMB1
CSC: I9300TTHLEMA1
Added: 2013-1-24
Download
but when i hit the download button nothing happens. It only shows PDA and CSC though.
I need all 4 files:
Bootloader
PDA
Phone
CSC
to fix my problem i think. Cuz i already have the correct firmware! and my phone is running!!!! Only problem is No Wi-Fi and not taking any sim cards. It says no Sim. I think I made this problem because of updating those 4 files with different version (like SGS3 i9300) before finding out my real version. Mine is I9300T
thanks.

Well this thread is actually the OP's first post so what do you expect?
You can use any stock I9300 rom on a I9300T or the way around, hence it should be not connected to that.

[Q] Choosing stock firmware confusion

Hello,
I live in Pakistan and I just got my Galaxy S3 Gt-i9300 and it had Saudi Arabian warranty in it so I guess it's from Saudi Arabia. I rooted and flashed custom ROM in it now I wanna revert back to stock firmware but when I select Gt-i9300 on sammobile for downloading stock ROM then I there's a box called "Country", I'm confused about this part, Idk what to select..
Here are the questions that I wanna know answers of:
Does international Gt-i9300 got different rom for different countries?
Is there possibility for bricking my device if I select different country but Gt-i9300 rom?
And last question, what country do I choose now?
Thanks!

yes. different firmwares for different countries. CSC changes from region to region. there is no risk of bricking if you flash a different firmware. check the details under about phone and google for the similar ones. good luck

you can basically choose any firmware from any country. It is recommended though, if you run into problems, to flash your stock firmware (your country & carrier) (e.g. you can run a UK version in the US as long as it is for the I9300). In addition a second part is about modems, which again, you can use any modem of any country, whereas usually modems from your region will work best.
To see different firmwares etc. have a look at sammobile, there you can filter for your country, carrier, model etc.

[Q] Need a help with ROM thing

Hello, I've a question.
I'm on ROM I9300XXEMF6, but before I was on I9300XXELLA I'm living in Egypt, I don't know which ROM I should install, I provided Kies my S/N for an Emergency recovery, it removed XXELLA and downloaded the MF6 ROM (The original ROM which worked on my device properly since I bought it was XXELLA). My question is: Do I have to download the ROM from the manufacturing country or my regional area? If regional area please send me an EGY ROM to work on Vodafone as I know XXELLA is an old one and 3G/Edge doesn't work anyways. Thanks.
Abdnormality;4584533 My question is: Do I have to download the ROM from the manufacturing country or my regional area? I
ANY but rom for your location and network is best .
f regional area please send me an EGY ROM
This is not Amazon we dont send .
