Hi everyone!
Noob question here. My Mate20 Pro installed carrier stuff on the first boot when I bought the phone. I know there are ways to remove or deactivate Bloatware, but what I really want is to flash a Stock ROM without that Carrier Branded crap.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone!! First of all, sorry if this has been posted already and please excuse me as I am completely new to the smartphone and android scene!
I do not own a SGSII yet but I am seeking to buy the white version of the phone, which is currently available at Bell. I'm planning to just buy out the phone itself without a contract because I will be going away to the UK in January for about 9 months. I am aware of the fact that Bell has its own firmware, giving it the name i9100m instead of i9100. So, I was wondering if I root and unlock the phone, will I be able to update the firmware and perform all the functions that a generic i9100 would and therefore be able to use the phone in the UK when I move there?
It might be a stupid question but I just thought I'd better be safe than sorry
Thanks in advance!
Yes, it won't be a problem

Yes it will work, whether you want to unlock it for rogers here in Canada or on a carrier in the UK, the process is the same. You can pretty much flash any rom you want, as rooting the bell phone pretty much breaks kies will to update. At least it did for me
Thanks guys! I thought that I had to go through a different process for unlocking and modifications, thanks again for clearing that up I will be on my way to purchase a SGSII very soon
I am considering buying a branded Motorola Atrix (O2 branding) and just wanted to know if i will be able to flash a custom ROM on it when i root it or if the branding prevents that? In case it’s possible, can the flash remove the branding?
The shop specifies for the branding:
No hardwarebranding, only start up animation
I searched for similar threads but it seems as if this depends on the specific model so i wanted to make sure if it works in my case.
Thx in advance
I'm not sure if i get your question..but let me give you my experience..
I got an AT&T atrix nd rooted it, then i flashed the darkside rom on it, earlier the status bar showed AT&T on it, now it doesn't.
And the AT&T boot animation has been replaced with a Darkside boot animation also.
So, no visible reference exists to AT&T exists in my atrix.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Thx a lot, that’s exactly what I wanted to know. Sometimes i just have a hard time getting my ideas across since English isn’t my first language.
Hello, may be I have a very stupid question, I need to add some more languages to att model. Is it possible? Should I root the phone, flash new rom. Any ideas? Any help, please! Thanks
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,

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...
Hello everyone,
I have tried to look for an answer to my question with no luck. I have an unlocked t-mobile galaxy S5 unrooted with stock ROM and I am with At&t. I need to use wifi calling and therefore I was wondering if I can root then flash a stock AT&T ROM on my device, and what tools I should use. I mean are ROMs cross compatible. I would really appreciate your advice on this.
Thanks
It's a shame no one has an answer for this.
I'm looking for information on this, as well.
I have a SM-G900T (bootloader unlocked). I'm wondering if I can get it to be "stock" (without the yellow Knox warning on boot) and not have the T-Mobile startup animation or apps.
