[Q] Flashing stock firmware on a branded phone - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a Vodafone GS3 with the firmware of the vodafone, not sim locked. Is it safe to flash in another firmware? Like German DBT? Is it safe when the firmware is for the same model : I9300?
Thank you.

It's means the device has the German CSC version installed.

[Q] CSC

The problem is the following the S2 go to assistance again but this time to be exchanged for a new one.
I am with the following problem, the S2 was Vodafone Branded (PORTUGAL) i unlocked and I installed the rom TPH ( portugal carrier free) and the problem is that now install either 2.3.5 or the new ICS vodafone and even doing factory reset he did not let me select the CSC TCL (Original one) says must always be three chars.
If I can help would appreciate, and there is a possibility of making a vodafone Sim Lock again?
Greetings and thanks
I think I can translate what you're asking.
1) did you actually sim unlock? Or just flash non branded firmware?
2) are you actually trying to flash a rom with your csc in? They don't all have every csc.
3) if you have flashed an unbranded rom you won't be able to flash vodafones csc. Just find out what the generic Portugal one is and use that.

1) yes i did sim unlock
2) my phone was branded Vodafone (CSC TCL) and i Flash the TPH (carrier free)
3) I need to put back the original CSC because my s2 go to samsung to be exchange for another one
In that case you need to check out Odia's (I think) thread in development and download your appropriate carrier branded firmware. Then just hope they don't notice your sim is unlocked.

Flashing At&T S3 with unbranded firmware

Hi,
I currently have a samsung galaxy s3 branded on at&t running on 4.1.1 (model: SGH - 1747)
However, it does not have chinese language on it and I need to have it installed. After searching the web, it seems the only way is to flash a firmware over it. How do I do this?
I had downloaded Odin and a Unbranded firmware. However I'm not sure if the firmware is right for it. I9300XXDLJ4
If I flash this firmware over my existing at&t branded on, would it work ? Or will the phone not work anymore?
Thank you.
It's urgent.

Frankly, I think that's impossible. I have a Galaxy SIII GT-I9308, which is customed for CHINA MOBILE. When I flash XXELLA and replaced the modem.bin, it seems to be bricked....
DON'T FLASH IT!
You don't have an international i9300 do you! So don't flash it or you will possibly end up with a paperweight

thank you
and does the region code matter? i mean i am from slovakia, that means ORS for me but im fine with BTU (UK) if it is better.
does anybody knows how can i find out what is the last firmware?
I9300 = Model - yes
DX = Region code or Network Code - i gues this does not matter
LE = Release-Date of the Firmware
8 = Revision
- is it in hexadecimal order?
