Don't use a firmware which has carrier name, or else your phone will be network-locked. You can use any other country's firmware as long as there's no carrier name.

[Q] Tried flashing, doesn't boot

I tried flashing my Gio earlier today through CWM Recovery and now it doesn't boot - I can enter recovery mode just fine but that's it. I've read a lot of stuff on here about flashing ODIN and wanted to use a stock rom but all the links I've found are unavailable for download. Can anyone help me out?
Many thanks in advance!

Your trying to flash eos... you need to go to that thread and read the instructions for installation... Which would include...
Being on the jb ota (android os 4.1.2) or used the appropriate teeny bin
Being unlocked, rooted, and using team win recovery (twrp)
Make sure ROM and gapps are on your sdcard
Reboot into recovery
Factory reset
Wipe system (not data/media)
Wipe cache and dalvick cache
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Then reboot and set everything up

You backup your original ROM from Phils recovery. There is BACKUP option or BACKUP to ExtSD card. Mind you that it might take a lot of space like from 1.5Gb to 5Gb depending on the number of apps you have installed...

Hi, just do the following:
1. On recovery: do a data wipe/factory reset.
2. Wipe cache partition.
3. On advanced, wipe dalvik cache.
4. On mounts and storage, format sd card ( internal, not your external 'cause that's where you'll store the new rom to flash and your backups).
5. Format system
Finally, once you begin phoenix atoma installer, on the process it'll ask you if you want to super wipe or something like that, just say yes...and that's it. Good luck. Of this helps, click the thanks button. Happy new year.

Yeah, that'll do. But if I were you, I'd go for a 16 or even 32gb, it's worth it. Believe me, 8gb is nothing storing pics of your camera, some music, backup files an .apk's you normally use.

I think that in Philz there is an option "prepare for new ROM flash", that erases everything needed.
Also, mind that Phlis v6.x is incompatible with some AROMA installers, so it is better to use v5.x
Up. How will i know if im on new bootloader or not? Is it necessary before flashing Phoenix rom?

If you're now on 4.1.2 - you are on OLD bootloader. You have to flash it separately from the ROM. You can either remain on your OLD bootloader and flash Dr. Ketan's Wifi patch or flash new bootloader, MJ5 recommended, because it doesn't have KNOX. So, 1st flash MJ5 bootloader and then flash ROM.

Bro get the latest twrp and flash it via Odin. Open twrp recovery and go to advance wipe. From there format all the partitions. Reboot recovery, mount the partitions and format them once again. Reboot the phone in bootloader mode and flash the stock firmware.

After u hv formatted the partitions namely system, cache, dalvik cache, data, etc. Flash the stock firmware u have used earlier using Odin. F u hv the pit file for the phone use it to repartition bt be very careful.
As it looks there are no partitions, so there's nothing to flush/format/mount.
You will have to use a correct PIT file to recreate the partitions.
However, this means that your EFS is gone too. I hope you have a good backup of that!
After the PIT, you can flash TWRP and ROM as you like
