So I'm pretty new to the S3 and have it rooted but all the different model numbers has me confused. I have the Sprint SPH-L710 so what ROMs am I able to flash exactly? My phone is the version with 2gb of RAM so am I able to use roms for the i9305 or can I only use the ROMs specifically for the Sprint model.

Hello so i got my S3 today, it's the 3G korean version SWH M440S.
Will rooting and those custom firmwares that was made for i9300 work?
Also, the phone came with a lot of random unneeded apps, how do i put on a fresh un modified FW from Samsung on my korean version?
Also, S Voice is in korean even when i set the language to English, how do i change it to english?
Thanks

Not sure about rooting and fw, for s-voice you have to enter the S-voice settings to change the language. Just hit menu when in Svoice.. you'll have to guess since it's in another language which to pick. lol.
Is that model you got the one with the quad and 2gb of ram? Are you using it in CA? if so what carrier and does it work fully? and last question.. where did you get it and how much? lol
The "SHW-M440S" is a Exynos 4 quad with 1gig of ram as far as I can tell.
I wouldnt flash anything meant for the i9300 (International version), take a look in this thread for more info on this device and other stuff
Well it's identical in terms of hardware to the i9300.
I want to get rid of all the things that this korean telecom company had preinstalled on the phone and have a clean phone.
Have anyone tried using any i9300 mods with the korean 3g S3

You get whatever firmware is for your phone as provided by the phone vendor . You do not get a base Android .

In the thread somebody linked above there are instructions on rooting the phone, there also is pre-rooted stock Rom and one custom Rom called prestige. Your best bet is to get rooted and use titanium to remove all the bloat ware. The few international Roms and mods I have tried have not worked but let me know if find one that does!

Is there a way to flash this thing to i9300?
The phone supports AWS but not in this "state" of fw.
If you find a way let me know. If I knew now what I know now I would have gone with a international version. But I was making the jump from an iPhone so didn't know that mine would be so incompatible. Oh well, still a sweet phone!

Head over to the Korean phone page here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749214), root your phone, use titanium to freeze or uninstall all those unwanted apps!
On another note found this on Korean dev site. Seems this guy is running the Siyah kernel with CM10 on his M440s
Edit: He posted his Siyah kernel and via translation seems you could use CM9/10 with it. Gonna get the mrs to make sure google translate is correct before trying. You can easily sign up at that site to access the files.

Thanks, all done by following the instructions.
So, how do I proceed to debrand (remove sk telecom rom and get a stock debranded rom?
Ive only seen i9300 ones. Can I use i9300 stock rom on shw m440s as I use this phone in canada
As of right now you have two options that i know of. 1) root the phone and manually remove bloatware. 2) use a custom Rom (cm9/10/etc) with a custom kernel.
If you can't read Korean, can't figure out how to access sites for custom kernels PM me with email address and I'll email you the modified cm9/cm10/franco kernels I have found for our phone then you can test out which works best for you.

Hello I'm a Korean user
for custom ROMs, you have to flash a 'kernel converter' of a custom kernel for the shw-m440s after flashing the ROM for the firmware to work. sometimes, touchwiz based ROMs have problems with communication and photography but aosp based ROMs and CM based ROMs have worked perfectly so far. recovery you can flash the same one with the i9300 and have no problem. For rooting you have to have a visit to this thread
So I have a S3 and I am totally not sure if its the original I9300 or SHW M440S... I have flashed stock I9300 4.3 firmware and the result was a laggy firmware and my phone kept rebooting. I wasnt the first to own this phone, my uncle did and he said he just flashed the old i9300 4.3 firmware and the problem has occured which is a broken camera (cant connect to camera), not working speakers and headphone jack and mic...
Normally I would just get it fixed but.. Because of the broken cam, speakers and mic, my youtube or any online streaming videos does not load and mp3 musics dont play as the player apps force close when i press play...
Again, a broken hardware does not affect the software so I am not sure if it is really the hardware or I just flashed the wrong firmware on the wrong phone.
Has anyone ever tried to flash a I9300 4.3 official firmware on a S3 SHW M440S?
Did you get the same result as I did?
Do you recommend me to flash a SHW M440S firmware on my s3 just to check? Will it not brick my phone?
Please help me out..
Thanks and God Bless
You can't flash i9300 rom on a M440S without it being converted, or installing a kernel made for the m440s afterwards or using a kernel converter after the rom.

huh ? you cant
I just picked up a used VM SGS2 and curious to see what I can do to it.
but there are so many different carriers/variants, that I don't know what files I can safely flash to it.
On my HTC One V, its pretty much a VM phone, and you just have to know if you're GSM and CDMA...
Any help/tips/pointers/etc would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You can pretty much flash any Roms/mods that's in the i9100 thread. The virgin mobile version is pretty much the same as the international i9100. Only difference is virgin mobile and bell puts a "M" at the end of their model i9100m.
I my self got the virgin mobile S2 and I have flashed every possible Roms or Mods around both in the original development and regular development section. Now with the mods, just make sure you read what the mod is meant for because some is intended for Samsung based ROM and some are for AOSP based ROM.
If you need help in flashing anything, let me know. Your gonna need Odin downloaded on your computer so you can flash a kernel with clockworkmod recovery then you might need triangle away to remove yellow triangle in the first boot screen you see with the i9100 logo but that depends on what kernel you flash. If the kernel is Samsung official un-modded then it won't give you a yellow triangle but if you flash a custom one it will, it will also make you flash counter go up but triangle away will get rid of both the counter and yellow triangle.
Btw - are you in the US or Canada? It shouldn't make a difference anyway, I had both models and its the same phone. And hey the phones are CDMA phones but should also work on GSM but only problem I heard was their Data plan wasn't working correctly just for the fact that the Virgin phones are CDMA.
JUST MAKE SURE YOUR MODEL STARTS WITH i9100!!
All the i9100 models are pretty much the same
Virgin US does got a SPH - D710 model called Galaxy S2 4G

Yes, I found the ROM I need, but it's for a sprint carrier. I understand that if I successful flash to sprint, then it will not allow me to use data which is a huge thing.

As the title says, can I flash a firmware from the European qualcomm S5 SM-G900F in my t mobile SM-G900T??
I want to flash the uk version SM-G900FXXU1ANCE since those from europe are mostly bloatware-free (the ones that are not from a carrier)

Whatever you try, don't flash the bootloaders from any other phone to your device, unless you absolutely know what you're doing.
Otherwise, you might just give it a shot. If you have a good recovery (e.g. TWRP) or something that you can use to get back to stock easily, then there's little risk. Keep in mind that you'll only want to flash the Kernel and the ROM, but you'll want to leave everything else alone (bootloaders and recovery for example).
If by "firmware from...", you mean the odin/kies firmware package, then these typically include the whole shebang. These will probably have bootloaders, recovery, and every partition included. I don't recommend using these unless you know how to dissect them and remove the bad parts.

Yes, all ROMs from international S5 forum will work. Just don't flash anything Exynos based as far as recoveries go.

Read my first response, only ROMS from the international S5 forum on XDA. DO NOT flash firmware for a different model from SamMobile.
I tried to flash the last firmware from G900F and got fail on ODIN. The thing is, if I use Mobile Odin I'll be able to flash only parts of the firmware. I mean, in order to change only the android, not anything else like bootloader or things that can brick the phone..., which options should I check on Mobile Odin? Kernel, Recovery, System, Cache, Modem, Modem #2, Hidden?
Thanks in advance

If you look in the S5 (G900F) threads you will find many, many ROMs. Most of them will work on the G900T. You need to do a lot of reading about ROMs and how to install them. I like Omega ROM and use it on my G900T on AT&T's network.
It's all about research. You will need to read a lot so you understand what you can and cannot do with your device.

No problem, but to warn you, Omega is a touchwiz ROM. I'm sure that's part of the reason why it's so dependable. I started off with straight android but I've had a Samsung device since the S2 so I'm used to and enjoy touchwiz.
How about the opposite direction? G900T ROM to G900F?
So, I'm in Saudi Arabia and there's a opportunity to buy a G900F. I'm a Tmo customer and would like to flash a G900T rom so I can enable wifi calling. I actually use it quite extensively since I'm abroad.
Any chance that is possible without complications?
I think I saw another thread where someone did this, but had problems with the GPS.
Sorry for bumping this, I've been searching about this but didn't find the specific answer.
Can I install G900FXXU1CPD2 (which is for G900F) into a G900T, just using Odin? I have been reading and I've seen in many places that a lot of roms for the F version would work on the T version, as long as they're unbranded and have nothing specific on them. This one is supposed to be unbranded (Netherlands) without any kind of bloatware or apps from any mobile provider.
What do I need to do in order to flash it and make it work?
My G900T has the last Marshmallow version, and it's 100% T-Mobile stock, no root or anything.
Thank you in advance guys.
Hello,
what's the difference between these 2 phones? And can I install a ROM for the normal S3 to the "Neo" one?
Well dude I dont think that there may be very big different in s3 normal and s3 neo.
may be some functionality different or something like that.
You can easily compare both phone on gsmarena[dot]com.
I thing No, You can't flash custom roms of different model as by doing that may brick your phone.
Every phone has a model No. like s3 normal is GT-I9300 .
so you should download and flash for that specific model only other may might loose your phone.
Press THANKS if I helped you.
Different processors and neo has extra 512mb of RAM. And that's just for starters.

Nope you can't. First we need custom recovery. I think however latest stock rom from samsung, is really good ! Be sure to not update, but keep what version of android you find when buying the phone otherwise you can't root.
