Hi everyone, I decided to post here this question after searching quite a lot on this forum and on google without finding the answer
I'm from Croatia. I rooted my n7100 half a year ago. Now I want to sell my device and put the stock touchwiz back on it. However, when searching for the stock rom I only find the stock roms that are locked on a carrier. So I have found 5-6 of them, for all of the croatian carriers. But can't seem to find the one that is unolocked and without bloatware that comes when you get the one with the carrier apps preinstalled. I actually bought my note2 unlocked. So where do I find this unlocked stock ROM without carriers bloatwear? Can anybody help me?
Thanks
Jure
Even tried Sammobile (GT-N700)?
Ok, I just went there and I did see a firmware that does not seem to be with a carrier (with a weird TRA abreviation that I cant seem to understand what it stands for). But even if this was it, the newest is 4.1. so Im not happy with it.
Another question: what would happen if I installed an UK unlocked firmware? Would it work for my croatian Sim card? I cant see why not? Since the phone asks me to select my language the first time I boot it. It wouldnt have croatian as an option? I couldnt care less, since I always use english as my language
I dont understand much about how all of this works. I could really use some help.
Thanks
Jure

ok so this is my first post here after a night of troubleshooting i decided i might ask here directly since everyone seems to know what is going on.
im a fairly big phone noob but i do know what basic references mean.
so anyway, i have an asian desire, unlocked, unbranded (but apparently even though its completely unbranded, the fact that its chinese and has chinese texts places it in the "branded" category.)
so last night i grew tired of waiting for froyo for asian desires and decided to change things around.
things i did.
changed my rom from stock asian rom to RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
installed froyo from one of the links on this site (untouched, official HTC euro rom).
since then, anything that uses the "radio" doesnt work. recorder freezes, google maps doesnt work, my location doesnt work, etc.
now, ive read i need to upgrade the radio. thing is, my phone is not rooted. and id rather not root at all, all i wanted was froyo (and iirc, i cant root now anyway, since im on 2.2)
is there any way i can fix my issues with my phone now? thanks in advance.
Hi everyone i am new to this.
Basiclly I have a Galaxy Note 2 LTE and i recently flashed a stock rom of Jelly Bean 4.1.2
My problem is before i flashed it, my startup and shut down was the stock Samsung one and now its the annoying T-mobile one
After flashing it also installed a few T-mobile apps and also T-mobile ringtones. Can someone tell me how to get back to the original Startup animation and also how to remove all this T-mobile crap!
You flashed a T-Mo branded firmware. Flash any unbranded on from sammobile and branded apps and boot logos will revert to sammy ones.

Haha just do what he said and flash a stock firmware.
You can just replace the startup and shutdown animation files if you want. But its easier to just flash an unbranded rom if you don't know what your doing. All your apps and data should stay in place.
Zip included just in case. Ps this zip is not for flashing, do im manually with root explorer Instructions included.
thanks for all the replies.
this rom i flashed wasnt an official UK one and it said nothing about t-mobile. it said i needed an unlocked phone before flashing so was kinda shoked to see the t-mobile logo lol.
so do i just wait for the stock UK rom to come out then???
thanks again
It has already came out

I'd imagine it would be rather odd seeing a network logo on an unlocked phone!

Yes, no UK one is out yet for unlocked. I'm waiting for the O2 or unlocked one. But I think it doesn't matter which one you use since it's only the first initial start up screen will come in that particular language, so you could use another countries. I just want to wait Should come out some time this month, if not in a few days.

Hey guys.. I'm new to this forum and to flashing ROMs and all that so I need your help..
I used the search option and didn't find a clear answer to this..
I have bought about a month ago an at&t SGS3 SGH-i747 and I am not very happy with the current OS (android 4.1.1 at&t stock ROM) and I want to upgrade it to 4.1.2. After searching google a bit i found out that there IS an official 4.1.2 android from at&t for my device and wherever I go they say to go to settings, about device, software update and update my phone from there but it says that there is no update.
I have searched for a ROM on sammobile and only found a 4.0.4 ROM for my phone.
However, I found out that there is a 4.1.2 ROM for SGS3 SGH-i747M, and some people say that their ROMs will work on my device and some say they won't.
Can someone tell me, if I install a Rogers (for example) i747M ROM on my device will it work without problem? I don't want to stay with the at&t ROM because it has too many limitations on them.
I prefer not to install custom ROMs because they are all a bit unstable..
Sorry if I have bad English, tried my best..
First off an (att) rom will work with a (rogers) phone. I'm using one right now.
Secondly, if you do manage to install a (rogers) rom on your s3 it will probably be missing apn settings and you'll have rogers apps.
Lastly, through my experience with custom roms, I have found that they are far more stable then stock, if you're looking for a good custom touchwiz rom. Look at hyperdrive

What you are describing on Sammobile are the stock firmwares that are flashed through a program called Odin. If you tried flashing a Rogers image, you could potentially brick your phone, or as the user above said, there would be a lot of issues since that is not the firmware for AT&T. Are you rooted? If you are, that is what is causing the upgrade issue, since you have to be 100% stock.

Thanks for your answer. Well, if you say that custom roms are more stable than stock, I won't argue. Just some friends told me otherwise.
I'll try to find a good rom that suits me.
Btw, I don't care if ill have Rogers apps or AT&T apps, they are both useless to me. I just don't want to brick my phone.

I didn't flash a Rogers rom because I couldn't find a clear answer that says that it will not brick my phone. I just seen some people ask about it and didn't get an answer either. I have tried to unroot and flash a stock rom from "samsung-updates.com", a 4.1.1. Its the same as the one that I already had. Still, no update available.

If you flash a ODIN package for rogers on an AT&T phone you may brick it due to bootloader and modem
if you flash a custom zip based on an AT&T rom from XDA you won't brick since they don't contain bootloader or a modem
hope this helps
Hello everyone!
I have a problem with my brother's Tab. He had one of his friends root it and they installed a custom ROM. Then it stopped working and they asked me to fix it. I managed to reinstall the stock ROM and recovery, the only problem is the baseband. None of the firmwares I found on the internet come from an Italian device, so everytime he tries to make a call it says "Out of service area". The carrier is WIND.
So, how can I fix that? Should I go on an italian forum and ask someone to upload his baseband so I can flash it with ODIN or there's something else? 'cause I also thought about using Kies, but since it has 4.2.2 on it, it won't let me update it, since it's already at the last release available.
Thanks for your help, and please tell me if you need more informations.
Hello, last week I was given a Samsung Galaxy Ace II to install a custom ROM on, however, after flashing CM 11 I noticed that the phone wasn't recognizing the sim card, so I tried to downgrade again but I got the same issue. So far I've installed about 10 different stock firmware and updates and the phone still doesn't want to recognize the sim card.
The phone was originally working with the operator Movistar (Venezuela). But it seems like there's no official firmware for my country. I've already tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53921158&postcount=8 and it didn't work.
There's just one thing that I've read online but haven't tried, something that has to do with the "tee" folder, I don't really know what I'm supposed to do with it, and I also don't know where to get the original files from.
If there's anything that you guys know that might help me, please post it.
PS: The phone was originally running 2.3.6 GB (In case that matters).
PSS: Yes, I am pretty dumb for not backing up the entire firmware prior to installing CM, but there's nothing I can do now.
