Hi everyone.
I know it is very silly question but i am very confused.
I bought a S3 with 2GB RAM and LTE. I am not sure that it is i9305 or SHV210s.
SHV210s variant has an antenna but my cell does not have it, so i thought it is i9305 but when i go to download mode (using volume down+home+power keys) it shows its model as SHV210s.
how can i be sure about my cell's variant because i want to install custom ROM on it???

You should post it in I9305 thread.
Anyway, check the sticker beneath the battery + settings->about phone -> model number
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
i think sticker is fake because it says i9300.
stock or custom rom of i9300 was installed in it when i purchased,
in settings->about phone -> model number was also showing as i9300,
then i installed stock rom of shv210s (stock rom of i9300 and i9305 was failed to install) ,now it is showing shv210s.

Actually i want to install a custom ROM based on 4.4.2, but when i googled i found that every model/firmware has its own custom ROM.
if there is any method to install custom ROM without knowing model/firmware, then please suggest me.

No of course not wrong rom can totally brick your phone with no recovery .
You should revert to stock firmware and read the faqs and guides before any custom roms before your ignorance gives you a phone that requires a new motherboard .

stock rom of sgh210s (installed on my cell) is annoying. too much unusable apps. most annoying thing is that it limits sms to only 160 alphabits/digits, when it exceeds sms is converted to MMS. is there any solution of this?

Hi all
How should I flash the OTA flash files downloaded from Samfirmware?? Should I use ADB?? If yes, can anyone tell me the commands??
I normally flash phones with SPT/RIFF box, so I am a bit rusty in ADB
Kind regards
I'd say use Odin. But just to be sure, Check the stickies in the general forum. Use the search if not sure.

Hi!
Just use odin to flash the firmware.. i'm pretty sure most of the fw would just be on PDA in odin.

If you are talking about OTA and not the full firmware..it has to be flashed in stock recovery...first make sure you have the correct firmware version on your phone..the firmware version required will be given alongside the OTA on samfirmware..now move the OTA to your sdcard..reboot into stock recovery..use vol up+power+home buttons..then choose install update from there..
I need to do this. I'll do a Titanium Backup before, but should I expect all my content, apps, preferences and all that to be intact after the procedure (presuming everything goes the way it should)?
Edit: Also, why can't I see an option for United States in the drop-down menu when narrowing down my device? Should I use some other country?

And do you know what this ota files are used for? I've an S5830 from Vodafone(Spain) and I want to get it back to the original firm (you know, operator apps and some more innecesary ****), but I'm unable to find one on the internet.
Looking at www.samfirmware.com, the only thing I've seen about my device and Vodafone is the OTA file i'm talking about, but I'm not pretty sure if flashing it will let my phone in factory defaults.
I need to flash a Vodafone rom because I wanna send it to the technical support.

Find a Vodafone Spain Rom, it should be over 200mb, then download Odin for your galaxy ace, it should be in the ace forum. Then flash it. Check the link below.

Seems to be a few new firmwares up, Singapore and Sweeden dont appear to be carrier dependant.
Id love to get rid of the telstra firmware so that updates are direct from samsung instead of telstra.
I know a search could find it but seeing ive made the thread ill ask, is there a good set of instructions for first time locked device users (nexus was easy to flash) on how to flash another countrys firmware on a locked down galaxy or do you just use odin for stock firmwares?
I have this on my telstra phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935570
Latest release with no carrier software at all.
Doubt you can use samwungs servers to update though. I have a feeli g it doesnt work once you have a non original rom install. Could be wrong.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium
its not completly stock firmware so i doubt the sammy servers will update it, that being said a untouched version of hte international firmware like sweeden may not suffer the same fate.
I updated my Singapore (Singtel) set to the non-carrier latest Singapore firmware:

I just flashed It, after flashing it doesn't automatically do a factory reset so I did that manually, I've noted that the optus branding is removed from boot animation, and the homescreen quick bar icons are now customizable.
no FM radio module though...
