[Q] Need a help with ROM thing - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I've a question.
I'm on ROM I9300XXEMF6, but before I was on I9300XXELLA I'm living in Egypt, I don't know which ROM I should install, I provided Kies my S/N for an Emergency recovery, it removed XXELLA and downloaded the MF6 ROM (The original ROM which worked on my device properly since I bought it was XXELLA). My question is: Do I have to download the ROM from the manufacturing country or my regional area? If regional area please send me an EGY ROM to work on Vodafone as I know XXELLA is an old one and 3G/Edge doesn't work anyways. Thanks.

[Q] Rooting a French SGS II and keeping SFR apps

Hi,
I have an SFR version of the SGS II, I would like to
Root my device
Unlock it
Upgrade to a faster better ROM with Hebrew support.
I am new to SGS and I want to understand a few issues. I understand that Samsung releases ROM's for different areas in the world and that they are described in a coded manner in the ROM version. what i don't understand is
(Q.1) Will any version of the ROM work on any version of SGS II ? (might be a stupid question, but i want to make sure)
I understand that burning a different ROM version on my device might void the warranty, so I need to keep a backup of the original version.
(Q.2) where do I find the CSC of the my SFR ROM ?
(Q.3) I want to keep the ability to connect to all SFR Wifi hotspots for FREE it is done from an app installed on the device probably by the CSC, Do i need to backup the SFR apps i want from the original ROM and reinstall them on the new ROM, or could I simply find the SFR CSC, and install it once i'm done upgrading, rooting and unlocking my device ?
Can someone recommend me a good ROM version along with modem version ?
that supports Hebrew characters (right to left languages) ?
This are the details of my device,
PDA::KE4
PHONE: KE1
CSC: KE4 (SFR)
Any help would be much, much appreciated like i said i am new to this device.
Thanks, in advance.

Yes as long as modem bandwidth is the same in county of use eg USA
I understand that burning a different ROM version on my device might void the warranty, so I need to keep a backup of the original version.
yes but dont go burning roms .
(Q.2) where do I find the CSC of the my SFR ROM ?
dial *#1234#

Hi mate, since I have a SFR SGS2 too, I think I can help you
Q1 : Yes, you might want to go to Intratech's topic in the Dev section to search the ROM you want. You can also try various custom ROMs from the same section
Q2 : here
Q3 : You can simply redownload SFR apps from the market

Hi again and thank you for your answers, I have some complementary questions
1. in the ROM official forum intratech is posting KE4 rom and stock rom whats is the difference between them ?
2. Does the ROM include the Firmware + modem + CSC.
3. how do i extract the CSC and burn it, after i burn a new firmware +modem ?
4. from the list of ROMs I can burn you suggested (in the DEV forum) which one is more suitable for SFR and how do i determine that the modem version is suitable ?
5. i read somewhere in the forum that changing the firmware and rooting looses the APN - the settings for Internet and specific operator configuration. so my question would be in case i can not burn or apply the CSC of SFR after i change my firmware how do i back up this information in order to make sure that the phone doesn't loose functionality's later ?
6. I don't understand what *#1234# does ?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions, like i said i am new to this
Hey guys I recently bought an SGS II SFR (Forfait blocké), can I root it and install custom ROM on it, or I should Unlock it first?
And what ROM do you use?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Is it safe to flash a ROM with a different CSC

Hey,
I live in the UK and bought by S3 new on ebay, which is unbranded and an international version (i believe). The box said Orange France, however i havnt had any problems using it with my UK SIM. The jelly bean update has just been released through kies for the UK version of the S3, and i was just wondering what effect flashing this ROM using ODIN would have on my phone?
i downloaded the ROM from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902493
Thanks
CSC is nothing bar a few text files that enable auto network APN .
It will make no difference but will be more up todate with its network connections list .
jje
Ah right, thanks. so its should actually be better then seeing as i'm flashing the UK firmware to it.
Play store services are not all available worldwide - and some are country-region specific- but as long as you have a western european CSC you're fine....
Sorry for digging up an old thread but it covers exactly what i'm after
There's no official release for 4.1x for Australia yet, P5110 16gb WiFi only
what other stock ROM's will be suitable to ensure my play store, etc will all operate without an issue.
Thanks in advance

Wrong forum
Specifically, yes. it's the wrong device.
But the same issue nevertheless.
Hence why i did include my device details.

Lol, well ok, I would advise sticking with your CSC but you can always try other Roms and flash back to yours. As you are Wi-Fi only you won't have any of the recent modem issues that have been present across several Samsung devices

No CSC does not matter its not required to make a phone work .
But that's relevant to the I9300 range your phone may or may not be the same .

I'm sorry to break into this post, but i have the same question.
I live in Italy, but i bought an international Galaxy S3 with Romania CSC and i wish to stick with the ITV csc code.
I tried to flash, but it breaks OTA/kies Updates (that's not bad at all... my firmware is still XXEMC2, March 2013 with i9300QXFMEA2 csc (info taken with *#1234#).
I've also read that double flashing changes the CSC code...i tries this procedure with no results (csc still COA)
Can you please give me some tips?
Tips read the stickied basic faqs and guides .
Make your mind up to upgrade via OTA/ Kies or XDA not both .

[Q] Does this matter returning to stock?

Hey, I have been trying to return to stock, I've downloaded ODIN, but when came the time to pick a stock rom, I saw that there were quite a few stock roms for my phone (GT-19300 international) . I live in France, there are 4 operators: Orange (where I bought my phone and where I have my contract), Bouygues, SFR and NRJ, on Sammobile I saw there was a stock rom for NRJ, and I also found stock roms for the other operators (not on sammobile though, on tha site there was only the NRJ one), then came the question, do I need an orange stock rom, or the regular international one, does it matter? If it's any help, there isn't the orange logo on my phone, and I don't recall having orange apps on my phone when I bought it, but have a vague memory of me downloading a couple, although maybe anyone with a contract there can download them, I qish I could provide more information but nothing comes to mind :/ I'll try to answer all questions as best I can, thanks for answering quickly.
P.S. I'm using this guide to unroot, if you can think of a better one or if there's a problem with this one, I'd appreciate all suggestions, thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27407556
AnyI9300 rom on any I9300 phone .
Stock is just Samsung firmware usually by country basis .
Vendor roms are usually branded and may have addons from the network . Vendor roms will have the correct modem and CSC .

[Q] Choosing stock firmware confusion

Hello,
I live in Pakistan and I just got my Galaxy S3 Gt-i9300 and it had Saudi Arabian warranty in it so I guess it's from Saudi Arabia. I rooted and flashed custom ROM in it now I wanna revert back to stock firmware but when I select Gt-i9300 on sammobile for downloading stock ROM then I there's a box called "Country", I'm confused about this part, Idk what to select..
Here are the questions that I wanna know answers of:
Does international Gt-i9300 got different rom for different countries?
Is there possibility for bricking my device if I select different country but Gt-i9300 rom?
And last question, what country do I choose now?
Thanks!

yes. different firmwares for different countries. CSC changes from region to region. there is no risk of bricking if you flash a different firmware. check the details under about phone and google for the similar ones. good luck

you can basically choose any firmware from any country. It is recommended though, if you run into problems, to flash your stock firmware (your country & carrier) (e.g. you can run a UK version in the US as long as it is for the I9300). In addition a second part is about modems, which again, you can use any modem of any country, whereas usually modems from your region will work best.
To see different firmwares etc. have a look at sammobile, there you can filter for your country, carrier, model etc.

sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !
Hope my country (Egypt) will get that modem......
go to sammobile,com and install a rom from the mg4 or mg5 ormg6 series of roms.. all firmwares on sammobile are official. Egypt is not on mg it is on mf6 which will not work. but you can use firmware for Netherlands , England, india etc
