what it's beter Generic or Branded Firmware?or what is the difference?
I prefer stock it is clean and hassle free.Branded firmwares has some apps localized or free as a gift.It is up to you.
I couldn't wait to get rid of the branded firmware. I only want apps that I choose.
branded firmwares doesn't have genuine functions or apps or settings that are available from generic firmware. generic firmware is pure form of factory apps and settings. it has nothing pre-installed in it for example the apps that are available from your cell phone provider.

Hi,
When I was using a blackberry, if there was an update, there were a generic non-regional firmware where there is no region specific bloatware. Is such a version available for the XS? I ask this due to the fact that over in the development section there are a few region specific firmwares available however, flashing them will also mean you get that region specific bloatware as well as being limited to the restrictions of that particular region (ie. some apps not being allowed to install with the Singapore version). Thanks.
There was a generic version for .67, but I do not believe a region-agnostic version has been uploaded for .73 yet.
Hello.
I want to install a new rom that it an official version for my ace.
The problem is, that there are versions that specific for a country.
My question is which version i need for my country?
I live is Israel.
Thank you very much.
Go here and select your region. Then flash with ODIN.
Yes, but there is no my country. Is there a difference between the countries?
The csc file is differente between countries, that means system language, keyboard language and some preinstalled app.
If u want official check for upgrade with kies or via OTA on setting\info\firmware upgrade\update (eventually check the wifi option)
Thank you both very much
just wondering which version of the ics update is the best/most stable for me to install on my uk unbranded (3114) phone?
been waiting ages now, and interested in trying ics, but who knows when the official update will arrive for the uk
the nordic combined is the one that's reccommended in one of the stickied threads....anyone from the uk have any experience with this? or should i keep waiting for uk generic update?
There're no differences between different countries firmwares other than some bloatware apps, hence the version number is the same for all.
You can flash any of them, and it will work in your country.

Well yes the version its the same, but some firmwares have pre-installed garbage i will never use
For me the best right now (I have tested all of them XD...) its the LT26i_6.1.A.0.452_NCB.ftf Nordic Combined its the one i found "cleaner" than the other ones
Hi Guys
I have a SGSII, which I got in Hong Kong a couple of years ago. It came pre-installed with Stock Samsung Firmware ICS 4.0.3. I currently living in the UK and was wondering if I did a Firmware update using Kites, would it install you UK version of the firmware instead of the HK version?
If it's got the HK firmware/CSC on it, it will update to the latest for that region; where you are now is irrelevant, it reads the CSC info off the phone to determine what firmware to upgrade to, assuming there is a later firmware for that region.
But it's a moot point. Why would you use Kies for anything ? Flash whatever stock rom for whatever region you want with Odin.

To be honest, I am a noobie when it comes to the advanced aspects of android devices. So I've always followed the mantra of always following the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. Also I don't want to loose all my user data for my game of Asphalt g

Sony make more money by making country specific firmwares with bloat ware specific to each country
