I get myself a Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300T a few months ago. I bought it from Bangkok, Thailand. And I live in Malaysia. That means : my phone doesn't have warranty anymore.
I just rooted my phone last Monday. And now I'm planning to flash this rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43677412#post43677412
And I checked in the google, someone said that I have to unlock the bootloader in order to flash custom rom.
My question is : do I have to unlock boot loader to flash custom rom ? ( I have already rooted my GT-I9300T )
Seniors, please help me. I hope that someone will answer me, please don't ignore me. Thank you. All the best for you.
No. You to not need to touch the bootloader at all.

The only difference with the "T" model is it is optimised for Australian frequencies, standard i9300 Roms work fine, and the modems work ok but if you go to the modem thread you can grab the modem/Ril for the T variant you will be optimised for Australia

Nope. Only official ROMs should include modems. When you flash custom ROMs, modem is left untouched.
SOME custom ROMs may have an option to (or force) modem flash, but this will be seamless so you wont have to do anything special.

It has been unlocked by Sprint for overseas use.
If someone pops in their AT&T SIM card, will it work on AT&T's GSM network?
No.

it won't brick your phone. you will just have stock Samsung firmware without any bloatware. Don't listen to the guy above lol. But no it won't unlock it. You must get the unlock code from your carrier or a third party before you flash another firmware or it won't be able to be unlocked till you flash back and enter the code in on your carriers firmware.
Hi,
I have t mobile s9+ but got it unlocked after paying in full. Now I am with at&t .
My phone is stuck with Android 9 December update. How do i force Android 10 update?
If i were to use ODIN, which firmware should i use: t-mobile, at&t or unlocked ?
I would prefer unlocked but don't want to mess it up.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
