Switch from Branded rom to unbranded - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I have my phone in Ireland Vodafone. I'm thinking about switch to unbranded rom. The problem is: there is no any unbranded rom for Ireland or I know nothing about it. So, my question is: can I download unbranded rom for UK and flash using Odin? Do I need do something before or after flash? I know there is something like CSC for every Country. Do I need do something with that?
My CSC: I9300VFGEMF1
One more thing my phone is not rooted and I do not need to root it. Can I do whole operation without root?

This is the wrong forum use Q&A.
Please read the faqs and guides first .
Roms are on sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com
UK rom can be flashed using Odin .

[Q] Some guidance please re: firmware.

Hello:
WARNING: I am a complete newbie and know nothing about 'flashing' or 'rooting'.
From a previous post, I learned that I should download "GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKJ1_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI3.exe" to change my firmware from Spainish to something Canadian. I have it downloaded now.
I also read that I should have Kies installed, due to the drivers that it contains, but not 'running' in any way. I installed Kies but it will not connect to my phone - maybe because of my spanish firmware? Does this matter or is just having its drivers installed the important thing?
Is there a tutorial about how I should proceed? Do I need to 'root' my phone first? Do I need additional software?
Sorry for my confusion but I am really unsure as to how to proceed?
Thanks,
Rob. (proud owner of a $700 paper-weight)

Hi Sam1,
See the thread of intratech " [ROMS]Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash"

Good luck!
I don't think Multiupload has been shut down. Probably, its just temporarily down.
Is this an original dev?

@Danny04: Thanks but it is still multiupload, which has been shut down and the link no longer exist.
@3xeno: it has been shut down by fbi so means permanent ...
@Princeomi: i need the original stock
Have you asked in Intratech's thread if he has a copy (he probably doesn't, but you never know) ? If he doesn't have a copy, I doubt you'll find anyone else on here who does.
Why not flash the latest official firmware available for your carrier/country ?
@MistahBungle : where can i find the official firmware(uk version)?

So since I don't know what region my phone is from, can I flash any of the firmwares listed in that link? My i9100 is international version because it has the physical home button. please tell me I don't want to brick my phone by downloading the wrong region firmware. thanks.
Yes any version providing it is a i9100 not i9100G or some other model .

What is your intension to going back to Stock? since you have no warantee issue..
enjoy any of the stable custom rom...
also you can check region wise firmwares releases here www.sammobile.com
You wont brick your phone by downloading the wrong region ROM. You can put any version from any country only if your phone model is I9100 and not I9100G or any of the AT&T or T-Mo ****!
Just go to about phone and see the build number and kernel and all, you'll probably find the rom and kernel.
Thank you, you two (JJEgam and frankimm) are the only ones that actually answered my question. Thanks again!

[Help] Stock Rom

Sorry for posting in this section cause my post is less than 10.
Regarding rXtreme Stock Rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023916
after installing it, everything works fine other than the language. Korean words are blanked out automatically. Any help here?
Stock rom then you want to go to sammobile.con and download for your country .

You don't get my question. I want to continue using rXtreme Rom without wiping my data. I'm asking if there is a fix for the language.
Sorry post said Help Stock Rom .
Suggest ask the rom chef or read faqs and guides .
Either you are posting in the wrong forum or you are flashing the wrong rom .
This is I9300Q&A the link you posts is for a different phone I9305 .

Search Q&A section you're sure to find what you need in there
also in future always remember to create a backup of original rom before flashing!
Most Quides will PREACH this!

But, can i just flash that rom then?
I thought CSC code was important to have before flashing..
