I've looked all around and can't find the stock US T-Mobile 3G ROM for the 10.1 tab.
samfirmware does not seem to have it ....
Herpderp, that's because it doesn't exist. It's either a EUR firmware installed on it. The only difference is it has your carrier's APN and SIM which is why it's considered t-Mobile. You can use any firmware on the tablet, considering it's EUR region and not asian.
So for those of you that got your S3 with TMobile branded firmware you'll realise how stupid it is.
I wanted to know if I flash it with unbranded firmware will that mean I won't be elegible for updates via Kies and via OTAs. (So even though I will now have the option to get OTAs, I wont be able to?)
Also if the answer to the above is Yes, is there any way to get around this and if no what am I doing wrong because my updates via Kies is not working.

I believe you can simply debrand it by flashing a stock firmware version with odin.

Possible but not 100%

There has to be an actual update for YOUR phone on the Kies server as its TMobile ask them .
Why not join XDA Developers and flash stock roms on release .

The only unbranded firmware that I know of is for the international version. If there is unbranded firmware for the TMO version it would be somewhere in the US forums, not here. And you cant go flashing an international version rom on a TMO GS3. different processor,modems etc...Unless you want a brick

Why would TMobile send their firmware to the USA for TMobile UK customers to download .
TMob UK firmware is as usually in the stock /branded roms threads on SGS3 I9300 International forum that is this one .
The T-Mobile brand is present in 11 European countries – Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany (as Telekom), Hungary, Macedonia, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom – as well as the US, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

You didn't specify what country you were talking about. I dont know which variant TMO Europe has, but the US TMO version is dual core snapdragon. If TMO EU has the i9300 then you could flash international roms, but if it's the same as the TMO US variant you cannot flash international i9300 roms on it

I have a T-Mobile S3 and got fed up with kies saying no update so I just rooted and flashed wanamlite, not looked back since. Although I did take a nandroid back backup of stock firmware first for version references.

P.s all uk based T-Mobile S3's are GTi9300 that I have come across
Apologies in advance if the answer has come up somewhere, but I haven't found it if it has.
I'm after the Telecom NZ ICS firmware for SGS2 i9100 (not i9100T)
Have tried a bunch of firmware ROMs, and just want something that will work on the local network
I went to sammobile, but they don't have a NZ option other than with Vodafone (which I tried and is fine other than a few connectivity problems)
Can anyone help here?
Get the PC version of Checkfus. I've just checked, and there is an I9100 firmware available for Telecom NZ. Flash the package you download as per usual in Odin.
So i have an S2 that was originally locked to t-mobile UK. Can i flash any JB update via odin ? Or do i need a specific one cos it was locked to t-mobile UK and has there apps etc?
I have also had telephone unlocked since. In case that changes anything
Thanks

JB for O2
Flash any ROM you want, branded or unbranded.

Please forgive me if this is a dumb question but can I use the ROM from different provider in my tablet ?
I have a P7500 with canadian provider videotron who will not upgrade to ICS or JB. I've been trying without success to use CM 10.1 but I'm wondering if I could flash with an official rom from another canadian provider and upgrade via kies or ota.
I'm assuming everything should be compatible since videotron and rogers both use hspa+ network but are the roms from sammobile unlocked ? Would their Rogers rom work with my Videotron sim card ?
well im using a custom rom with rogers provider
custom roms are not provider dependant.
even using the voice call modem (baseband) and it works great.
i dont see why not..but recovery from odin should not be a problem
in other words difference between rogers p7500 and videotron p7500 is it's bloatware that is not in custom roms
My question is not about custom roms, it's about the official roms available at SamMobile. Are they locked to their providers ?
