Hi I just got two S3, one from England (Orange) and one from Germany (don't know the carrier).
I want to flash both of them but I see several categories for the S3, and don't know what software I can use or not. Can anyone tell me what I need to check or how do I know the ROMS that I can use?
Thanks in advance

You need to find out which model you have. The international version is going to be something like the GT-i9300. If the ROM you wish to flash says it's only for that model, do NOT attempt to flash it to a different model. Doing so may brick your device.
You can find more about the different models and some useful info in the wiki on XDA for the Galaxy S III variants.

Check the model number of both the phones in settings>about. If they are GT-I9300's then you can flash ROM's from this section. If it's something else DO NOT FLASH anything form this section. Check the model numbers given in the other sections (T-mobile, sprint..etc.. etc.,) before flashing.
Hi Guys,
Brand new Galaxy S3 user here and I've just Rooted my phone and I'm searching around on which ROM to flash. Only issue is that I have no idea which version I need in terms of ROM. I know when rooting my phone I followed a different guideline and I don't want to fubar up my phone. I'm with Rogers and I know I followed a US/Canadian guide...
When looking on the get.cm website I saw this
d2usc
Samsung Galaxy S III (US Cell)
which seems to be the closest thing to me but I just want to be sure.
Thanks,
This is International I9300 forum flashing firmware from here may brick another model .
STICKY
American or Canadian SGS3? Read this before posting!

What is the exact model number of your phone? (can be found in settings->about device)
SGH-I747M
I've found the SlimBean ROM for my phone but even that took a while to hunt down.
I tried searching on get.cm but I've found that it never actually gives me my provider (Rogers).

because i need to use this phone in indonesia,
i try with:
1. following this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176719 ; but after select [6] network lock, there are no menu again, even i already use 4.1.1 firmware.
2. some code are not working on this phone, for example *2767*3855#, *# 7465625#
3. i try to install indonesian firmware 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 but became lost my IMEI and generic IMEI appear
4. try to install swiss firmware again 4.1.2 mg4, and get back the imei, and also back to the initial conditions.
5. try to buy the unlocked code, but the code still not works
6. try to root and patched use ariza http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218428 but still unsuccessful

It IS SIM locked.
If you have updated to mg4, no tools can unlock.

Dont post IMEI or SN unless you want your details stolen .
#
One if locked it would be locked to sunrise / the original network .
Two baseband and csc would be different in a different country .
Suggest you hunt out a thread or forum that deals with your location for the correct firmware and modem .

because its mg4 already since i receive that s3 from sunrise
i'm sorry, since i'm newbie in android. but i want to learn much.
thanks
No you can't roll back. Theres nothing you can do - except I cannot say for sure about buying unlock codes

Didn't you used to be able to cut a section out of the sim and what identifies the sim lock in the sim no longer exists?
Well I phrase that as a question, but the answer is yes. The real question is whether that is still possible and whether it works with regional locks

yes, when the dialog box to enter unlock code appear, i can cancel it and there are no networks (sos call only). identification about region locks:
1. the label on the box about region lock
2. i bought the phone from switzerland, i try and it working well with switzerland sim card (i use this sim also for first activation) and also with italian sim card works fine, so it's not sim locked
3. with indonesian sim card --> no network, sos call only
4. bring it to samsung authorized dealer in jakarta, indonesia, they know about region lock but they reject the phone and say that i need to bring it back to samsung switzerland to unlock it
5. try regional lock away from @Chainfire but the app still doesn't work in my phone
until this moment there are still no solution, now the phone already rooted but still region locked......
I'm curious about the two different screens you're showing in images #3 and #4.
Did they result from different actions on your part?

I don't have this variant but, I believe that the Australian variant is the G900J. You should be able to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to the S5.
