Hi All,
I'm new to the android community moving from a iPhone. Now I purchased the Samsung galaxy s3 2 weeks ago. I was wondering is there any way to remove the carrier splashscreen on boot and shut down screen. I purchased this in the UK from the carrier three. . and to be honest I can't stand it the damn splashscreen. I have rooted my device but just can't find a way to remove the splashscreen.
also i heard there's a way to remove the bloatware from it, it seems that when looking at my ram using its never below 400 despite me going to task manger and clearing the memory. I'm assuming its all the bloatware on the phone that's using it up right?
Would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
U can root ur phone,with cf root,then make a full wipe via cwm recovery (incl. formating system and boot) and then flash unbranded latest firmware for the UK.. and that's it

Hi
Before I flash with ChainFire to gain Root Id like to check what version I should use to flash. Or should I flash with another generic firmware first?
Im on a Vodafone Stock Build as follows:
PDA: I9100BUKE5
PHONE: I9100BUKE1
CSC: I9100VODKE2
Would it be KE5?
Thanks in Advance.
KE7 generic then KE7 root

Learn how to use Odin
get ROM from checkfus downloader or sammobile.com
Pick lp7 ROM skip lp9.
You can flash any ROM if you got i9100, say UK lp7.
Flash using Odin.

Doesn't matter were you are...
Get a whole package and flash.
Lp7 UK ics
Dxlp9 Singapore ics
Both stock roms work fine. Personally I say go for lp7 UK.
After that learn how to use cfroot kernel to get root access.

Thanks for that.
Can you give me that link for lp7.
I salute you.

hi all,
I am buying a Galaxy S2 as a present for my OH on O2 UK. She is on giffgaff. I know that I do not need to unlock it as the SIM should work without a problem.
However I want to flash the firmware to remove the O2 branding (splash screen, animations, etc) + the bloatware.
I have read this thread [GUIDE] Debrand & Rebrand back to O2 for Samsung Galaxy S2 on how to use Odin. However I cannot find the firmware to download, even using the these links within the thread.
Even sammobile website is a bit confusing on which firmware to download for a handset bought on O2
Therefore my question is: Where can I find a plain Samsung SIM free firmware to download???? Is it different for every carrier???
Sorry for the noob questions but I couldn't figure it out yet.
Help is much appreciated.

Just download latest unbranded stock ROM for UK. Should be XWLPT.

Simlock is stored in nv_data.bin in efs folder -> flashing other FW won't make your phone unlocked. You need NCK code.

O2 phones are unlocked by default.

Even PAYG????
WHy do customers normally fill an online form to ask for unlock code?
Anyhow my OH is on giffgaff (pigback O2), so the handset shouldn't be an issue, even if it is locked. Just want to flash it to remove bloatware and splash/animation
May go 4.0.3 XWLP7 firmware
As far as I know.
And both my phones were on unbranded lp7.

Hello xda.
I just bought a S3 from someone (not a carrier), and I plan on rooting it. Firstly I want to find the stock firmware for it in case I need it at some point.
*#1234# : AP: I9300XXDLIH / CP: I9300XXDLID / CSC: I9300DBTDLI2
I know I need to check SamMobile in order to find my Firware but i do not know which one is it. Can someone help me please?
Use CHECKFUS to download your stock firmware .

I believe that's the German firmware can I confirm that's jb it's on? If it is then you should find the fw at this link
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=7388
Or for a list of all German firmwares use this link

Yes it is JellyBean 4.1.1 on it. Considering it is 4.1.1 I should be able to root it right?

There are so many guides for upgrading it's impossible you've missed them. Search here on xda (or on google) and learn how to do it. No need for asking in a new thread because the answers are already out here.
