Flash T999 to other international stock Firmware

Hello everybody! i got my new Galaxy S3 finally from USA Tmobile, the phone is unlocked and it's version is sgh-T999.
i want to flash it to other International European versions, will it be a problem? or i need only stay with what t-mobile 4.04 supplied me?
Is is9300 same as sgh-T999??
Another question, if i cant flash it to international stock firmware, how can i delete all the other T-mobile stuff that came with it? will it be deleted with normal factory reset?
Also can i install any other kernel on it?
Im sorry for the many questions, i had before galasy S1 and i was used to flash it all the time.
With regards.

No, do not even try to flash international I9300 roms. It will result in a hard brick. Only use the roms in this forum as they are specifically for the T-999. The difference between t mobile and international is the cpu, radio and ram. Welcome to the forums though mate!

As David said, don't even think of flashing any international rom. Your phone will be hard bricked. Glad you asked before you went and found out
The hard way.

Thank you guys so much for your answer, i was used to more freedom with my galaxy S1
Last question, Is there a way to delete all the stuff T mobile put in the phone? or does it always come with it's Stock versions?
Truly speaking, i am regretting buying this and not the international mode, any big differences between this 2 versions i mean not in the RAM and CPU , but software wise will i be anyhow restricted using this phone not by T-mobile carrier?
Thanks again and best regards!

Go to play store and download titanium backup... With that app you can do pretty much anything from freezing or deleting (debloating) your phone from all those stupid t mobile apps. As far as a difference? No not really just specs wise it is and you would be only getting edge speeds. This phone is awesome man. Just hang a bit for devs to whip some good stuff.

Difference is they're on JellyBean already and don't have as much bloatware as U.S. carrier versions. Other then that not much.

Wrong.
They have a completely different chipset (Exynos vs our Snapdragon)
Less RAM
Different Radios
Posting comments like these is why we end up with so many "OMG HALP! Bricked US S3!!"

We have JB too rehard. As much bloatware?, the international version has none. We have 2gb RAM vs their 1gb, we have S4 vs their quadcore Exynos, we have adreno, they have mali. Do some reseach before polluting the thread with misinformation.

International N7105 firmware confirmed working on i317!!!

For any of you who want to have your cake and eat it too, you can now flash the international N7105 firmware onto your AT&T branded i317!
What does this mean? It means that you can give AT&T the middle finger by having unlocked firmware with none of the restrictions and bloatware. By extension, this also means that you can benefit from the development going on for the international devices.
Finally, this also means that you can reap all those benefits without sacrificing LTE access in North America!
Now that this has been confirmed to work with the i317, I wonder if the T889 is next...
Check out the main thread over here.

This is nothing new.

We tried flashing the international N7105 firmware onto the i317 using Odin, but that didn't work. However, the procedure seems to be working if, instead of using Odin, you flash a re-packaged stock N7105 firmware using a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, just like flashing any other custom ROM. Once that's done, just flash the AT&T modem/kernel, and you're all set!
Unfortunately, there hasn't been much development for the N7105 yet. Root, CWM, deodexing and all the other basics are there, but that's all for the moment. Devs are still trying to work out N7100/N7105 inter-compatibility. N7100 firmware will flash to an N7105, but the modem won't work, so that's pretty useless, and that's what we're all trying to fix.
At least, in the mean time, you can enjoy a stock N7105 experience in North America without AT&T/Rogers sticking their fingers in the pie

Is the 7100 the non LTE version and 7105 LTE? If this allows us to get FM Radio on our North American Note 2s, I'm going to be very happy!

Very nice.
Upon thinking about it. I believe there is a way to use this method to give us international firmware and also retain our NA CSC's so we keep carrier specific settings such as Wi-Fi access, Fast dormancy and the like too.
Currently working on it and will get back to people once I am finished.
Glad to see someone else was working on this as it was something I wanted to get around to messing with but have been busy poking into Bootloaders and dialer codes.

Agreed however, no one knows for sure it isn't present in our devices and that Samsung just removed the driver at the request of the greedy NA companies. They don't want us listening to something for free when they can force us to connect and use data. Maybe the driver is in the 7105 firmware...

My phone is rooted, what is so good/different about the international version?

Did what Miscom had done and got the latest GT-I7105 Unbranded firmware release LJ5, with this one I injected the Canadian CSC's and everything seems to be working except a few carrier apps that check for the proper model number they would force close on me.
Going over this firmware, seems okay but doesn't seem to be any better then the stock LJ2 that came with the phone.
My main hope with using an international firmware would be unlocked dialer codes, and I was correct in my testing, any carrier locked dialer codes are controller within the firmware + check what CSC you have as well.
Got some working that I couldn't before hand, however the main one that I wanted to use was the *#7465625# to view network lock status, it was one that I couldn't get working, but I believe that it wasn't working because my phone is already a factory unlocked one so to really know for sure I'd half to have one that is known to be locked.
Anyways, glad this experiment worked, I will definitely be looking at this again in the future, however I know that the Samsung Canada is planning on releasing an updated firmware for the phone at the same time or soon after the Canadian S3's get their Jelly Bean updated, and it is also rumored that they will be 4.1.2 as well. So with this possibility I will be going back to Bell's Stock firmware and see what we get in a few weeks.

Note 2 ROM's

I just bought a new N7105 Note 2 from eBay. It's supposed to be here Tues. I see that some of the Note 2's are thrown together here on this forum. I've been searching & reading. Do the 7100 & 7105 use the same ROM's? I sure as Hell don't want to start bricking this one.

Just a simple question was all I asked.

Pretty sure you bought the International version

You bought the international version of the NOTE 2 meaning it is most likely SIM UNLOCKED.
I believe 7100 and 7105 should have different roms because 7100 is only 4G HSPA+ and 7105 is 4G LTE. I think they will have different drivers for the ROMS.
I am not an expert but Im sure different hardware will need different drivers leading to different roms. So I would download and install the ones for your phone.
I hope it helps, and good luck!
This phone is BEAST!!

Thanks. I plan on using the all-in-one 3.0 tool on it when it gets here.

If you need a quick list of 7100 and 7105 roms when you get the phone, this list should help you a little.

Compatible Custom roms Galaxy Note 2 LTE GT-N7105

I rooted my phone and found very few roms were available for my phone (UK Galaxy Note 2 LTE GT-N7105) I ventured over to AT&T Galaxy Note 2 Android Development forum to find more custom roms. After asking around found couple so far which I have tested myself as follows:

I'm too nervous to try AT&T roms on the HK phone. I bricked my Note 1 twice using wrong roms.

Not sure how reliable this is, but is says here that AT&T AND TMobile roms will work.
Anyone ready to try? From what I have read, the hardware is the same, it's just a couple things like the modem and kernel you have to remember about.
In fact, there is a ROM in the TMobile section that I am looking at right now, and the Dev says his ROM will work.... Read it here

What is with the HK Note II being treated differently?
I keep reading people saying that you can't flash the stock firmware to the Note II LTE if it's a HK one. Why not? it's still a GT-N7105.
What's different about it??
(I have one and want to know!)

i don't know, but my HK version is so picky about custom Roms. The only one that I can find so far that will run on it so far is Paranoid JB.

What happens when you try other ROMs?
And are you sure it's a N7105?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

The phone flickers on the Samsung screen and then blacks and never finishes loading. I either have to reload stock or the Paranoid to use it.

But you have another N7105 that works fine?
Can you provide some more details, at the moment it's just another anecdotal "Doesn't work"

Even though I agree with this, some ROMs in the Verizon and T-Mobile section are universal and some do say sprint. I have heard if you flash another us carrier s3 ROM (NOT THE INTERNATION ONE) ANOTHER US CARRIER, Rom, let's say t mobile ROM on Verizon phone, the worst that happens is data won't work and a bunch of force closes, but won't hard brick since it has the same hardware.
DONT QUOTE ME ON THAT! Just say in what I think I heard. Don't go flashing other carrier ROMs (OR INTERNATION ONES) for no reason.
If the OP says universal and it says compatible with sprint, do it if you feel comfortable. Personally I wouldn't until I know someone else is running it.

If you go to that thread you will see there are Sprint users in that thread. Just flash it and test it out, and I'm sure during the install process it will ask you which carrier you are using. But it definitely works on Sprint and any other US carriers.

I know it's safe to flash because it is a universal rom, and specifically states support for the Sprint variant. I wasn't trying to see if it was safe but rather ask if it was stable since universal Roms tend to work well for the device they work on and not so well for the other supported phones. I appreciate all of your warnings but I already know not to flash stuff from other forums unless specifically made for sph-l710.
