Im trying to flash the official S3 firmware via Odin, i went to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9300/---/
But i cant figure out which one to download. I live in NZ but im not with Vodafone(Vodafone - VNZ) (im with TwoDegrees), so which file to download?
Is New Zealand - NZC a sim free FW?
*I couldnt find a 2Degrees FW

You can flash NZC to your maybe carrier locked S3 and it would not be a problem. I am from Romania and flashed a British firmware with no problem. No, NZC firmware does not magically unlock to a sim-free status. If the meaning of the question is that if the NZC firmware would work with 2Degrees the question is YES.

The problem is the following the S2 go to assistance again but this time to be exchanged for a new one.
I am with the following problem, the S2 was Vodafone Branded (PORTUGAL) i unlocked and I installed the rom TPH ( portugal carrier free) and the problem is that now install either 2.3.5 or the new ICS vodafone and even doing factory reset he did not let me select the CSC TCL (Original one) says must always be three chars.
If I can help would appreciate, and there is a possibility of making a vodafone Sim Lock again?
Greetings and thanks
I think I can translate what you're asking.
1) did you actually sim unlock? Or just flash non branded firmware?
2) are you actually trying to flash a rom with your csc in? They don't all have every csc.
3) if you have flashed an unbranded rom you won't be able to flash vodafones csc. Just find out what the generic Portugal one is and use that.

1) yes i did sim unlock
2) my phone was branded Vodafone (CSC TCL) and i Flash the TPH (carrier free)
3) I need to put back the original CSC because my s2 go to samsung to be exchange for another one
In that case you need to check out Odia's (I think) thread in development and download your appropriate carrier branded firmware. Then just hope they don't notice your sim is unlocked.

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

if its not listed on sammobile then it might be an OTA update
currntly what rom/kernel ur phone is into
If its a custom rom then do flash the Stock ICS firmware for ORANGE UK and then see if u get an OTA update to JB4.1.2
Also u can check the link below

Well i currently have the rom for the Vodafone UK network. But that not longer works as I am with Orange. Yeah i checked out that link and that is what confuses me. Why would you release a 4.1.2 update for pretty much the whole on europe for the orange network but not the uk?
Currently download stock ICS to see if there is another update.
Very strange.
UPDATE - Fixed
**Update - Solved**
Hi I just thought i'd come back to my original thread and post a solution to this problem.
If anyone get this issue then what I did was go to samsung-updates dot com and downloaded a stock rom called Region: XEU and with a version id of: I9100XWLSW.
Works a treat and will recognise the orange / Everything everywhere / t-mobile network.
Thanks
Hello xda friends, i have a problem.
I purchased a SM-G850F recently in sweden, and i still have no lollipop.
The weird thing is my CSC is AUT, all my other phones is NEE.
So what can i do to stay stock but still update to lollipop?
Change csc Code and update?
Or flash NEE Firmware?
Regards
Emil
you have this apk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector
try it but apk will ask you after that for factory resetIf you like to stay on your Stok ,yes you can I`m in Macedonia & use XEF on other Alpha AUT ,dont worry ist OK
I can't figure out which "latest" stock ROM can I flash
This one worked:
G850FXXU2COK6_G850FOLB2COJ1_G850FXXU1COJ5_HOME.tar.md5
This did not flash:
G850FXXU2CPG1_G850FCRO2CPG1_G850FBOU1COL3_HOME.tar.md5
What numbers should I look at?
Hello guys, so I've seen that Android 10 was released in France, but not with the XEF or SFR CSCs. Can I still flash the other ones and change the CSC afterwards?
My carrier is SFR, if I flash a BOG ROM, it won't read my SIM, right?
Thanks.

if youre on the G965F and want 10, youd need to flash the multi CSC version of 10 available for your phone. It should work with your sim regardless of which one you flash, just might not get the best signal is all. Matter of fact, yes, you could flash whatever firmware you want then your specific CSC and itll be fine
