Advantages of Flashing Country-Based Firmware

Hi Guys,
I have searched around but cannot find an answer to my question. Does it matter if you flash a ROM/Firmware that is meant for a different country if it is unbranded?
Are there any advantages to flashing the relevant Firmware/ROM for your country or disadvantages to flashing an unbranded Firmware/ROM meant for a different country?
I live in South Africa and was thinking of flashing this ROM but just wanted to inquire first - http://wanamlite.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=375

In my opinion, you can go ahead and flash that rom without any concerns .The rom will work fine and will be stable(if it is stable lol).The only problem you might face is the modem..You might not get proper signal reception or data speed etc as the modem will be different than your country one because of flashing the new rom..However, you can easily flash another modem to suit your device. However, do make a backup before doing anything..U never know any screwups can occur..
By the way..I would also like to know the advantages of country specific firmware lol..though i have tried different country firmwares and they work perfectly on my phone(except that modem thingy i mentioned above)
Only advantage is the modem. But I did not face any problem yet about low signal or etc. And you can easily flash another modem via cwm or Odin. Custom Roms are much better than stock.

CSC, Rom for you country

Hey,
what i would like to ask is if someone ever checked the real difference in stock roms csc.
i know that the bloatware can differ. But is there any other difference, if i flash german or dutch firmware.
for example:
- Do i get better internet speed?
- Better network connection?
other things?

YES .
Different countries .

Technically no you are usually best with the right modem and csc for your network location .
A modem from another area may give better connection or not .
A CSC from another area will not have your network settings in it so may not find or optimize your network settings .
Saying that i delete the CSC from my phone and enter network settings manually anyway .

Best s2 modem for wcdma

Hello all what modem is best for cyanogenmod 10.1 latest rom?I use wcdma 900mhz band.What modem is best wcdma speed.Now i try old modems and wcdma speed is very weak.Please help thanks.
No one will be able to tell you what is the best modem. There is no such thing as 'best modem'. All will have different characteristics based on your location, carrier and usage. Best bet is to keep flashing modems until you find one with a good signal, i.e. good call reception and data connectivity. As you're on JB, start with the JB specific modems. If you have no success, work your way downwards. Don't flash ril and modem, you want modem only as you're on a custom rom.

GT-I9100T Firmware Request

Hi guys, i want a firmware or custom rom for galaxy gt-i9100t, if there is any rom after 4.1.2 ! , also i have a question: the normal rom for g-ti9100 could be installed on gt-i9100t !!?
There isn't any stock firmware >4.1.2. Yes, you can flash I9100 stock roms on the I9100T, but you may have to use a modem from an I9100T rom if you're using the phone on a network belonging to a carrier who sold the I9100T.
okay 10x for help, i'm so greatfull
What about a i9100 custom rom?! Can i use it to i9100t !?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Yes, of course. the I9100 & I9100T (I also have an I9100T) are exactly the same except for a very slight difference in radio output, achieved by firmware - the modem.
If you flash an I9100 stock rom, it will include an I9100 modem which might (not always though) mess with your connectivity, and as I hinted at in my PP, in my experience, using modems which have been bundled with stock roms released by carriers which sold the I9100T tends to result in the best connectivity. You can check these by searching the I9100T firmwares on Samfirmware, which lists the baseband (modem), and you can then find/download whatever modem in question here.
However, if after flashing an I9100 stock rom your connectivity is OK, no need to change the modem. Only change the modem if your connectivity isn't great. Custom roms don't include modems, so flashing a custom rom won't change your current modem.
i got it, thank you very much for your help and your notes about the modem thing :good: .

[Q] CSC Code and network

Hope this is not a noob question, but i just got a Galaxy S3 from Luxembourg with the CSC Code LUX. If i change it to TPH (Portugal) will that have any influence on the network signal? Because i noticed that i have much less signal with this mobile then with the previous one i had (Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000)
Firmware doesn't play any part in signal strength, the modem and ril does. Try changing modem.

Thanks for the help! Is or are there any specific modems for Portugal or can i install any of my choice?
Yes install any of choice for the model of phone you have. Don't go flashing a modem for a Sony if you have a Sammy. Also
Stock firmware=modern and ril or just modem.
Custom roms=only modem. Never ril. Will probably break calls/Tex's if you do.
