Hello hello, boys and girls. Got a lil' question here about my SGS3 i9300. As you know, the 4.3 update has been released for some countries, and I downloaded the UK version. (I do not live in UK) So my question is, can I just install a firmware that does not belong to my country? Will I have some problems with that? And another question, should I make updates in order? (I update my phone via Odin) Thanks in advance, have a great day.

Dear forum users,
First of all I would like to thak you all for the help and support, this site has been my source of information for a long time.
Unfortunatelly I do not have enough experience and knowledge to contribute to this forum.
Anyways... I bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S2, the phone is amazing it came unlocked by the carrier but it has a branded firmware, and I am looking for an unbraded version.
Where can I find the unbraded firmware? How can I tell if it is compatible with vivo/Brasil phone?
Please help and thank you all for your support.

Hi, recently i've updated my sgs2 from android 2.3.3 to 2.3.5
this update is terrible, everything is screwed, apps fail to run, wifi connection is not possible (it never connects), it lags terribly and also all the interface was changed (really hate that blue scrolling thing)
some people say that 2.3.5 improves battery life, but i didnt notice any change, seriously
so i was thinking of going back to 2.3.3, which was awesome and i didnt have any problem with that, now i know im stupid that i used the kies update and i will never do that again
what do i need to do it?
iam from czech republic, so i was looking for some czech version of 2.3.3 on google and also on this forum but found nothing
i bought my phone from vodafone (not branded) does it affect my choice of possible firmware downloads?
thanks for any help!

Use Google search or Checkfus to find it .
Look for the original firmware codes matching the firmware on the phone .
Or even take the time to read the stock roms post and instructions .

Hey everyone, this is my 1st post on xda , hopefully not the last one .
I live in Egypt now & my question is about buying a Samsung Galaxy S2.
From my research about latest firmwares, ICS is not yet released for middle-eastern SGS2.
So my question is, am I able to install a firmware from another country that had the ICS released into my middle eastern purchased phone or not ?
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thank you !

Yea. Go to www.sammobile.com and find a firmware you want and flash through Odin

Oh Great ! that's good news.
Bec. I read in a diff. forums that doing that, bricks your phone.
and btw, does it matter which country's firmware I choose ?
Thanks again !
You brick when you use different model Rom and flash. Example i9100 to i9100G = brick
I9100G to i9100 = brick
plus we have a leaked jplpc Rom, which works just fine

I don't think it matters what country you use. Just don't get the model numbers mixed up

Perfect !! thank you so much for your replies.
Another question please ,
are those points important when I'm searching for the firmware to install ?

Hi,
First you root the phone (there are many topics on that).
Then, you don't need to use odin (only for Lightning rom's, but everything is cristal clear with this rom), if you want to test other roms/kernel.
Enjoy.
If you are looking at rooting/installing a new stock ROM/firmware you better check that your Micro USB cable is working properly. A faulty one which may disconnect in the middle of a setup will create a big mess.

Hi to everyone from Greece.
I own a Sg3 LTE (1st day today) and it has Vodafone Greece firmware inside. I want to change it to Cosmote Greece firmware.
I have download the I9305XXBLL5_I9305COSBLL4_I9305XXBLL5_HOME.tar.md5 from SamMobile and I don't know how to Flash it...
I try it from Kies to upgrade but the only firmware it finds is PDA:LL5 / PHONE:LL5 / CSCLL2(VD2) which is Vodafone Version I suppose.
How Can I flash the Cosmote firmware I9305XXBLL5_I9305COSBLL4_I9305XXBLL5_HOME.tar.md5?
THX.
George Greece.
