if your flashing for a branded device then flash T-Mobile-USA
as for unbranded if you cant find for your device then you can simply flash for any country,
latest firmware version is 314(cant remember rest but last 3 numbers)

I got SGA with S5830BUKA7 Vodafone provider firmware. I went to samfirmware to get Gingerbread FW to update it and got confused with the following:
First check your firmware via our SamFIT and make sure you always use firmware files from your own region to prevent problems.
Does that means that I can only use S5830BUKC2 which is the latest FW from Vodafone?? Can i flash this phone with S5830XXKPH??
I am sorry if there is already an answer to this question in the forums, but i couldn't find it.
Thx in advance.
I flashed using KPH FW and it works

Does i9305 need to be rooted before flashing official firmware of another region using Odin? I've been searching for answer for a while but still can't find a definite answer. In my case, I want to flash Hong Kong official firmware onto i9305 bought from T-Mobile UK. Thanks
No, you don't need to be rooted to use Odin
FYI Odin is a leaked Samsung firmware flash tool.
Just make sure you are flashing a compatible firmware designed for your model
Thanks, Will Odin (flashing official firmware of different compatible region) trigger flash count? I don't want to lose my warrenty.

From Canada using the unbranded Canadian (North American) region firmware (4.4.4 stock).
My question is, will I run into any issues if I flash a rooted Rom of 4.4.4 (I believe the two roms available are both based off the RUssian region firmware)?
Or are all regions essentially the same apart from apn settings, etc?
Should I wait until someone builds a 4.4.4 rooted flashable zip based off the north American region firmware?
Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance

You should be fine to flash it. However i do need to know if your on unlocked or locked bootloader so i can give apropriate instructions

Bootloader is locked, but is unlockable. I've already backed up my ta partition when I rooted 314, but prefer to keep my bootloader locked anyways. At least until my 1 year warranty runs out through Sony.

Upgrading to 4.4.4 on LB from 314
1. Flash 4.4.4 Rom Of your choice
2. Flash superSU just incase
~You can try flashing Nut's dual recovery (not sure if it works)
3. Use flashtool to Flash a 4.4.4 FTF excluding system.sin
I'm already on 167 stock though. I updated through pcc. So I guess I have to downgrade to 314 in order to root and flash a recovery.

Made my own pre-rooted flashable zip. It's 167 stock, but with root. There's a guide on here how to do it. Very simple and works great!
i didn't explain my last post good enough so this is the straight question
i have a unlocked branded (UK O2) Z2, and i want to flash a stock general/unbranded ftf, is that safe ?
Yes
As simple as yes because i have a 3 UK Z2 but it has a Generic Tiwan FTF flashed to it
Will you get generic/unbranded OTA updates after that?

I should recieve updates for that FTF i flashed.
Typicaly i dont wait, i usualy flash a new ftf before the OTA is avaliable
