I bought a galaxy s3 neo + (model GT I9300I) in China, which came with a chinese version of android without any of the google services (as google is censored over there).
I'm now living in the UK and would like to flash my phone using an official samsung android 4.4.2 ROM (found on the live samsung updates websiet) so I can get access to the google services. The problem is that in that list there are only countries like Russia, China, India... Can I just use one of them and set the language to english? Should I use another ROM?
Thanks!

Hi everyone, I just bought a Samsung Galaxy SII here in China (its a imported phone, NOT chinese seems to be from France originally). It came with ZSKE7 firmware installed (unbranded) and have Korean, Chinese simp & Trad, British & american english and Hongkong input.
I tried to upgrade the firmware using KIES, but it just said "no available updates", so I started to fiddle around with the CSC (customer sales code) and I changed it to BRI (Britain) from KOR (Korean). And voila!! Kies said it had a firmware update available.
So I upgraded the firmware and ended up with ZSKG2 (still 2.3.3) and I cant say I noticed any big changes after the update.
My question now is, does anybody know if there is a Generic firmware available, with ALL languages (for example Swedish, Finnish & German) and that also have all the support for the ZSKG2 languages (Chinese simp/trad)?
Best regards

Nope, there is no Official Stock ROM with all languages.
However, if you are interested in English + Chinese and have all the apps that China have Samsung removed, you can look at Hong Kong rom.
Thanks LiFE1688, I will give it a try , at the moment am I busy "cooking" my own version. Will see how it goes.

You have 9100 or 9100G??
If you want to update you i9100 then you can use Odin and flash a Firmware from SamMobile.They have all ICS Firmwares available.For the apps that dont work in your region and give you annoying messages then download "Titanium Backup" from the Play Store and freeze the app or uninstall it so it wont work and you dont get the message.
Can somebody please point me to a source for a 'stock ROM' for my SGS II GT-I1900G (Chinese version), for Region: Europe and Country: United Kingdom, and based on ICS.
I have been round and round this for 3 weeks now trying to find the right ROM so that my phone will work as if it was a UK phone. Mostly I find myself directed to parts of this web-site which I am them prevented from accessing because I am judged to be technically not competent (which is probably true, but not helpful).
Sign up Here and search for the right one, should be easy. The filters work good.
Hy. i'm new on Android and on xda. I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 i9300 and i install os 4.1.2 for cosmote romania from sammobile. And now samsung apps store say : your device or country is only available for limited service. what can i do ? thx:crying:
Wipe data and try selecting a different country
Hi
I bought an S10 plus in China which had no Google apps. I managed to manually install the playstore and Google apps.
However, I realised that my Google assistant is not working properly. I think the reason is because Google is not a system app on my phone and it is an app I can uninstall.
because the Hong Kong and China firmwares are the same, the only difference is that the Hong Kong version has Google apps preinstalled, my question is can I flash the Hong Kong firmware on my S10 plus that I bought from China. If so, can I use Odin and will my data be lost?
Hi,
Have the same question.
Can I safely replace China rom with HongKong rom ?
My idea is to use bellow software and rom:
1. Odin: Patched Odin 3.13.12. ROM (Hong Kong version): Samsung Galaxy S10+ SM-G9750 Snapdragon 855
I'd like to get Google Services preinstalled and more international languages by installing Hong Kong version.
Thank you in advanced
Regards
