Can I flash any firmware and don't brick my phone?
Can I flash the origin firmware?
Could anyone give me a link of this origin firmware?

Don't think you can just flash any firmware. you have to make sure that it is compatible with the hardware you have in your phone (but if you mean flashing AT&T builds, it might be possible. Then again, why would you do this? lol Oh, and this is providing that you have unlocked your bootloader. If you didn't, only official updates made for your specific phone and region will work. However, even if you're unlocked, don't try to just flash a ROM for say, the Desire HD, and expect it to work.

Yes, given you have either the CWM zip (for unlocked bootloader) or the sbf. If you unlocked your bootloader, TAKE CAUTION WHEN USING A SBF. WHEN IN DOUBT, JUST FIND THE CWM VERSION. And of course, if you can't find one, which i doubt, request and someone (or i if i have time) will make one =]

[Q] Galaxy SII with UGKG2 baseband - going "back" to a different stock firmware
Hi guys,
Now I've just got a Galaxy SII from Bell (and unlocked it), and the baseband is UGKG2. I've seen the discussion and well understand there is no stock firmware available at the time, so if I flash it, there's no way back for the original one (until posted by Samsung).
Here's my question - can I securely flash a different, but STOCK firmware to this model? What I actually need is to install a stock Russian firmware, so that Russian is available as the interface language. If so, which flavour should I use? There is a bunch of official Russian firmwares (e.g. I9100XEKE1, I9100XWKE2, I9100XWKF1, I9100XXKG1, I9100XWKF3), but which of these should I reasonably expect to be compatible with UGKG2?
Thanks a lot for help.
They should all be compatible, as far as i know the bell gs2 is identical to the ones sold in europe. The radio is even the same, since the ones sold in europe also work with 3g in north america, so you should be good to go. Id just figure out whatever is the newest russian firmware and flash it, also check if its carrier or not, since I'm sure you wouldn't want some russian carrier bloat on it or something.
If you want the newest rom possible, id recommend the XXKG3, its not russian, but its the 2.3.4. Im running it on my bell sgs2, works great. and its generic.
Also I'm pretty sure the generic european firmwares all feature russian as a language, so you wouldn't specifically need to flash a russian rom id think.
good luck.
Edit* just checked my XXKG3, and it has russian listed as a language.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182434 theres the link to the XXKG3 fw... Well its up to you what you want to flash they will all work, but the XXKG3 is the newest one there is (2.3.4), and its also the one I'm running, so i know it works great for me, can't really say what version/ how old the russian ones would be.

I just had a look through that thread, lots of guys have problems with flash in browsing, but it's not apparent what their original firmware was... Did you too have UGKG2 before you flashed XXKG3? They also say something about "Frankenstein", is that the one I get via the link you gave earlier? Yeah, and they mention repartition - did you do that too?
Yeah, i have it flashed and i went from the bell rom to it, i did check repartition since it ensures that you will not have any problems as its a complete clean flash. And yes I'm aware of the flash issue, i hate flash for personal reasons ( on a mobile device, as it leads to general lagyness and drains battery) and i always turn it off on any android phone I've used, so i could care less about the flash bug but it might be a deal breaker for some i understand.
as far as the link, the first link given in the main post, thats the actual rom, the stock rom no frankenstien or anything. I didn't flash frankenstien just the original rom.

Great. Things get a bit clearer. But doesn't YouTube work on Flash (sorry if that's a stupid question)? 'Cause the end user of my firmware-changing exploits will likely spend a lot of time on YouTube.
Yeah, and is your model I9100 or I9100M? Mine has got an M to it.

Uhm, the issue is only present in the browser to my knowledge it occurs when you press on some flash banner or something, the flash still works in the youtube app.
Mine was the bell phone, i9100m, the i9100 and i9100m are identical, i suppose bell just added an m to their variant to feel special or something. Makes no diff.

haha really? i read later on in the thread with guys who checked repartition had suspected they had better battery life, i must not have noted the huge capital thing, i always thought a total clean flash would be better. Anyways I've flashed that thing twice with repartition checked, and my phone didn't blow up or anything haha. it should be noted that if u check reparation, you have to load the pit file too (obviously)
Yeah, stupid bell, the original galaxy s was also called i9000m.

I've browsed through a couple of dozens instructions on flashing today, and most of the time they specifically told people to uncheck the repart. box in Odin. But as XXKG3 comes with a pit file (I understand it does), it makes total sense.
Great, thanks a lot. I'll try and flash this thing and get back with results.

Yeah, good luck. Be comfortable with odin before you attempt it though, watch some youtube videos and such as odin can be dangerous if not used correctly. But its simple, the rom comes with 4 files or so and u gotta load them in the correct boxes, pit , phone,csc and pda .

THIS IS NOT NOOB FRIENDLY
IF YOU HAVE TO ASK, YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS.
MAKE A BACKUP THROUGH CWM
Download the ODIN files from the linked thread
Copy Google Apps and Face Unlock zips to SD Card
Reboot into Download mode
Flash the ODIN files (warning::: this flashes a ICS bootloader) -- Edit, try without flashing bootloader first. It's safer.
Reboot into Recovery
Flash Gapps and Face Unlock zips
Do a factory reset (yes, AFTER installing everything)
Reboot
Set up your phone
Reboot again
PLAY AROUND FOR A WHILE
Restore backup to go back to whatever you were using before
If something confuses you, this probably isn't for you and you should wait for a i777 version of the ROM to be availible (it won't take long, please wait and save all of us from DIS ROM BRICK MAH FONE threads).
Things that don't work:
Everything listed on the CM9 Alpha page +
Home Button = Back Button & Back+Search buttons do not work
Phone does not work (and flashing the RIL in the CM9 thread will not fix this == it's a kernel problem)
This isn't my work, I'm linking and providing instructions on how to flash an ALPHA ROM. The phone DOES NOT work!
I'm not affiliated in anyway with Team Hacksung or Cyanogen.

You must have already had an i9100 bootloader.. the install script he provides with his cwm release specifically looks for the model number.. flashing i777 roms don't so you may not have noticed up until mnow.
Just remove the first two lines in the script and it won't check.
edit: I've always been very careful and have never flashed any bootloaders on this phone. Just to clarify I didn't have to edit the script on this one though, but i have on others in the past.

There were changes to the bootloader from froyo to gingerbread on the i9000 that the rom depends on, so one can assume there to be similar bootloader changes. It's probably best to wait for Atin to give us some proper information and/or a build for the i777 after the holidays.

the version airbus is working on seems to run a tad better than this cm9 one.
Since I haven't seen any other threads on this topic, I figured I'd go ahead and get the ball rolling for anybody interesting in building a custom ROM. As the title suggests, this is a completely deodexed system image for the latest firmware update we recently received.
Just to clarify, this is a (mostly) stock base, and is intended to serve more as a foundation/starting point for anyone looking to build their own ROM.
I took the liberty to update all applications to their newest/current version and preinstalled busybox, which should save everyone a considerable amount of time and data. I also removed about a dozen or so apps that don't serve any beneficial purpose to the phone, but I will still include them in the download link for anybody that wants them for whatever reason.
You will obviously need to be rooted in order to flash this through recovery, so unfortunately if you are one of the unlucky souls that lost it with the update, you'll have to wait for a custom tot to surface before you can flash this.
I've been running this image for the last couple weeks or so and haven't encountered a single issue, but you should still make a backup of your current setup prior to flashing just to play it safe.
Nothing special needs to be done when flashing it, just the standard factory reset along with SuperSU and you should be good to go. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and hopefully you like it!

Yes, for simplicitys sake I chose to use an image in the zip instead. Not knowing if anybody would even be interested in this, it seemed like the logical route to take. Though you might have found other ROMS that are directory based for our phone, I doubt you've found another that's already predeodexed for you. Its also extremely simple to extract this image into the filesystem that you're looking for, but not the other way around.

Leave some posts so I know it works OK, I'm new to this
It would be good if someone could post if this rom was ok, as have a T825 rom built with the same method that I cannot test, due to having a T820 myself. So speak up please
Thank you for this. Now I have to ask a couple of newbie questions. I've been exclusively in the Sony Xperia and Nexus worlds before, this being my first Samsung. In trying to figure out if the processes I've become familiar with are applicable to this device, using your ROM.
For instance, my Sony's were pretty easy after the initial root. Kind souls in the community took new releases and created a pre-rooted firmware with TWRP and SuperSU built-in. I could then just dirty flash the ROM from TWRP, sometimes wiping cache/dalvic, and like magic my device is upgraded with no loss of data.
Is this how it works with this AQF5 ROM? I'm starting with a rooted (@ashyx method) T820 with AQBB. Do I just download the rooted ROM to SD card, boot to TWRP, dirty flash and go?
Thanks again!
Hi,
Dirty flash should work, sometimes I try that first and if I get any strange behaviour, do a wipe and re flash then load the rest back with titanium backup. Make sure you have all your backups organised first before starting.
Let me know how it works out. The risk with the first option is something residual being left that may result in force closes or just defeating the purpose.
Just beware if for some reason it doesn't root DM verity will occur and you will be forced to format internal data so back that up to your external card too, before, just in case, shouldn't happen though. I have no idea how many others have used this yet as there have been no replies to say all ok

Not sure I can use this ROM in Germany, what kind of modifications are made? Would love to see some development
As long as you have the same model T-820 you can, some local variants have a local customisation but it's likely to be minor with this model. From memory when I set it up on mine all common languages were available, if that's your concern, make sure you have a twrp backup and you can always roll back
The only mods were as listed above, seems slightly quicker, perhaps the zip aligning, but it will allow more mods as they come along

Always, Knox is there to tell Samsung if you've done this sort of thing, it's just what you accept with custom roms

Thank you very much, most appreciated, let me know how it goes
Any development on tab S3 ROMs???

As long as you have the same model T-820 you can, some local variants have a local customisation but it's likely to be minor with this model. From memory when I set it up on mine all common languages were available, if that's your concern, make sure you have a twrp backup and you can always roll back
The only mods were as listed above, seems slightly quicker, perhaps the zip aligning, but it will allow more mods as they come along

I have always wondered about that. Flashing a base from another country. Like I live in the US so I always have flashed USA versions. You are
saying that I CAN flash this Korean version on my T-820 phone and have all working ok with English ?
Thank you

For the record, I don't live in the us but bought mine from best buys whilst there, it was rooted within a couple of hours from memory,..... can't help myself ?.
I Flashed a firmware from another country after that,, just because it was a later series, can't remember which.
I use the Tweaked one as my daily driver, people seem to be finding that good. I have found the latest firmware now seems to carry out a full wipe, and I haven't managed to flash a rom over it yet, so reverted back to the Tweaked version I have.
It may require an update to TWRP
If you have any problems restore your backup, if you want to persist flash the firmware that its based on first,AQF5, then flash the ROM over it, with our without wipe.

Thanks,
This rom is not being developed any more,but the tweaked version in this forum, is based off the stock firmware which came after this,it runs stable, has a few enhancements and being a later base it's got a number of Samsung security updates too.
Would this thread be applicable to a Wi-Fi only S3 model "SM-T820NZKAXAR" ?
