Hi all, I have a UK Vodafone branded S9 plus and I've had it network unlocked, but the handset has a couple of Vodafone apps cooked into it one of them I can disable and the other I can't but my real problem is as I'm on Three UK so I don't get WiFi calling!
My question is can I download the Three UK firmware and flash with Odin without rooting or tripping Knox and then will I still get the official software updates going forward?
I just don't wanna root this device like I do all the rest!!
Sorry if this had already been asked, I've done some Google searching but only found posts from a few years ago!!
Many thanks
Ps. All you developers keep up the excellent work, everybody on here appreciates it.
Ok guys I've found my answer is the below thread . Please delete post thanks admin.

I'm new to the TYTN and I have a few questions.
Just to note, my device is by Orange-Israel. It has the QTEK_001 CID.
1. If I want only to sim-unlock the device (without installing HardSPL on it or changing anything that will void the warranty, how do I do that?
2. Where can I find the exact change log for any ROM version? I mean, I'd like to know what each version gives my BEFORE I upgrade to it.
3. As my CID is QTEK_001, I understand that I can install all of the HTC WWE versions. why can I find any upgrades on HTC website?
4. If all I want is to install the official HTC versions, why do I need to install the SSPL/HARDSPL (I dont want to install, yet, any cooked/baked ROMs)?
Thanks
Please people, help me out:
How do I unlock the phone without installaing any hacked SPLs?
and where do I get the OFFICIAL HTC updates?

Call your service provider and tell them you need to unlock your phone. Then you won't effect your warranty.
You can't be serious about where to d/l official updates. :-/
From the Official Website!
Also the link below helps me to find answers to a lot lf my questions.

Maybe there isn't any official updates yet for Orange-Israel.
I can't help you look right now because I only have my 8525 right now. Maybe tomorrow, when I'm in front of a desktop, I'll see if I can find something.
Heya
Please understand this forum is NOT official support
(however the quality here is probably better )
http://www.orange.co.il/ (your provider)
and
http://www.mea.htc.com/
are probably the best places to ask for rom upgrades.
Good luck
A
Thanks for your answer.
First, Orange Israel WONT unlock my phone till I finish paying for it (which is 3 more years to go).
Also, they DONT have any updates availble at the moment. But their version is VERY old....
On the HTC website I cant find the ROM updates anywhere.... please send me a link to the ROM updates on HTC website.
Also, do you know where can I get more details about what changed in each version?
Please, if you could please be so kind to read:

Hello,
New to the forum, and this is probably a noob question, but after trawling through loads of threads on here my head is spinning and i need some advice!
I decided to upgrade the ROM of my hd2 today as i am having problems with sending sms. i bought the phone second hand recently. It is sim unlocked and there is no carrier branding on the phone that i have noticed.
I tried to get a ROM from the htc site and got the not suitable message, long story short after speaking to htc i found my phone is from the Czech republic.
Now i have had a look at the ROM flashing tutorial and i am confident with doing it, however i am unsure about whether or not i need to use the Goldcard method?
Can i download the latest ROM from the UK HTC site and put it on my phone just using the Hardspl method here?
Thanks for any help offered, and sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldnt find an answer to my question.

Hello,
I've been a couple of weeks trying to understand how this all works. I have an Xperia S from Movistar (Spain) unlocked by imei. It is a LT26i serie 1257-5612.
I tryed to update it through SonyMobile, but it just updates de firmware. What about the OS?? I just want to kick out of my device all staff from Movitar and get the virgin ICS ROM running, so what can I do??
Please, I'm just tired of reading and readin thousands of posts with different ways, steps variants and so on. Is there anyone that can tell me what are my choices and exactly what to do?
THANKS!
If your current system does not include anything you need and can't get otherwise, f.e. APN data or something like that, just grab a generic ICS image and flash it with flashtool. For what it's worth, I had the same problem with my german provider and it worked for me.
Sorry, can't link you, am still under 10 posts

First root the locked device with CF Root using Odin (see my signature item 1) than unlock the phone with Voodoo Sim unlock tool in Playstore, after it is unlocked flash this fix with cwm recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802951.
-Edit- It seems voodoo Sim unlock tool is temporarily removed from Playstore, keep an eye on it though, it will be back because it is beeing updated for newer firmwares.
For now call your provider and ask for the sim unlocking key.
You can also unlock your phone here http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=I9300 , it costs 15 euro (creditcard or paypal) and you need to be rooted before the unlock.
Hi all,
I'm a bit of a noob to the Android scene so please be gentle - apologies if this is a daft question.
I'd really like to flash an unbranded ROM to my UK Vodafone S3 but had a couple of questions:
If I flash unbranded, will this have any effect on my contract with Vodafone (other than warranty, of course)? Would calls, text and data still work in the same way?
Would I be able to receive any form of OTA updates? I assume not the Vodafone ones but it would be great to get the Google ones hot off the press
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Regards,
mroshaw

Im vodafone UK and have had no probs with using custom ROMs or unbranded ROMS (only warranty but then you could flash stock rom and use Triangle away)
Only differences I notice is some ROMs have better signal strength but I stay in Highlands so signal is not brilliant anyway lol as for OTA if you custom then OTA generally doesn't work but most devs are quick with updates or you could download and install update yourself pretty easily

Sorry to hijack but but not sure if i can create a new topic as just registered.
I have jumped over from the iPhone ship and was wondering exactly the same thing. My S3 will come with orange branding and i want to remove that - can someone point me to a guide please?

Excellent, thank you for that! I guess my other option is to root and use one of the 'cleanup' Apps out there to remove all the Vodafone bloat. Not sure if I'm that keen to get Jelly Bean or if I should just de-bloat and wait for the OTA Vodafone update...
