Hi Guys,
Just wondering, do i need to SIM unlock my Orange S3 before i can debrand it? Will the phone still work?
Also i'm assuming the UK stock rom in this thread is what i need to flash via odin.

Thanks
No you don't need to SIM unlock to demand it
I'd personally install CWM Recovery via doin first and then install a flashable zip from the recovery.

You want to unlock your phone from the 3 Network? Not surprised
Have you tried other sim cards already?

Hi , I have a locked bootloader and rooted my phone and then I installed CWM but now when I flash a rom I don't have root anymore?
Could somebody help me or isn't this possible?
ty xd
The rom you flashed didn't contain a pre rooted kernel. You need to root again or flash a pre rooted kernel on that new rom. More info can be found on the dev sections pinned posts. I'm not sure what a locked bootloader allows tho...

You do not need root to flash a stock firmware.. if you want to unlock your phone from your carrier, i suggest you root your phone AFTER you flashed a stock firmware.. there are applications here in XDA that does the job neatly.
I hope this helps
Thanks!! My phone is already unlocked so i do not need root

it is branded, i got some carrier specific apps,and also the bootlogo of the carrier,a french one( bienvenue or something like that).So it must be sim unlocked if i am using orange...
once you sim unlock the phone, it should not sim relock when you flash a unbranded firmware through odin. I hope i answered your question
