Please advise me . My Mobile’s Country Region is

Region Africa
Country: Algeria
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 15 May 2012
Modem: XXLE8
CSC: OJVALE9
Change List: 554452

Now my question is can I Root with the European version for Example (United Kingdom ) version ?

Thank you in advance
DroidAngel says:

July 27, 2012 at 3:03 pm

Each specific firmware build can be rooted by injecting a root kernel image. You can find some ways of rooting method at XDA-Developer or look for Chainfire’s CF-Root.

Help me Please… I have a galaxy s3 US SGH-1747. Att&t I have to make it Arabic compatible like the Middle east region firmwares come stock. I would like a way with the right steps to make this possible. Help me out plz
DroidAngel says:

August 9, 2012 at 5:52 pm

You may need to find an Arabic language input apk file and install it. Middle East stock ROM is GT-I9300 and so Europe and other Regions it cannot be used with U.S. SGH-I747 for it has a different hardware specification. You may end up bricking your device if you try to.

i HAVE THIS FILE :

DroidAngel says:

August 10, 2012 at 1:15 pm

Yes, just remember the APN settings, you will need to reconfigure that after flashing to get rid of data connection issues.
Akber Nathoo says:

August 10, 2012 at 1:46 pm

HI, I have a samsung galaxy 3 with I9300XXALF2 _OPS Australia. I use Vodafone can i flash it with I9300TDUALF2_TVA. or does it have to be XXA and not TDUA. Thanks
DroidAngel says:

August 16, 2012 at 12:02 pm

@kerri, if your phone is unlocked, you can use all Australian Firmware build it all works fine. The only outcome happens is that you also get the default settings like apps and logos of that particular network provider.

Q1. i have a 3 mobile branded firmware in my SGS3. i want to get rid of it and install original nordic unbranded firmware. will it in ANY way affect my phone by not receiving certain updates and mismatching my imei and other codes in the phone?

Q2. do i need to root the phone to install this new nordic region firmware? my phone is in stock mode. can i just put the rom onto this via odin or is root necessary before reflashing new stock rom?

thx 4 the help in advance
1. DroidAngel says:
  
  August 29, 2012 at 5:13 pm
  
  Hi Alen,
  A1: it will work.. but a conflict between you and 3 mobile like warranty and other services will be an issue here.
  Your IMEI will never be touch but the CSC (Country Specific Code) change. Then you can not get any updates from 3 mobile firmware via Kies or OTA… but you can update with the Nordic unbranded firmware either using Odin again if Kies won’t let you.
  
  A2: No need to root, stock ROM removes root.
  here’s a FAQ about installing stock ROM.
Alen says:

August 29, 2012 at 7:56 pm

oh, i think we missunderstood eachother. i’m on stock rom now, no root. but do i need to root the phone to be able to install the other unbranded stock rom that i want to have on my phone?
1. DroidAngel says:
  
  August 30, 2012 at 7:03 am
  
  There’s no need to root the phone if you install odin flashable stock ROM.
  Rooting = You only need to root if you want to install 3rd party application that you can find on Google playstore, thats how rooting is being used.
Alen says:

August 30, 2012 at 11:49 am

oh damn… did a cf root, flashed the original unbranded rom … made a factory reset after flashing… now kies notifies me that i cannot receive updates via kies… csc is correct.. why ?

I flashed the Vodafone Australia rom over onto my unbranded Australian S3. The device product code changed from GT-I9300RWJXSA to GT-I9300RWJVAU.

Now, I have flashed back to the XSA firmware. The CSC shows I9300XSALF2 but the product code still shows GT-I9300RWJVAU.

Does anyone know how I can get my product code back to GT-I9300RWJXSA?

Will this stop me getting firmware updates until Vodafone Australia released their version of the firmware?

  I am not sure if the product code was change during flashing.
  You can still update, since you already know about flashing, you should not bother with Kies.
  Latest official update.

  You don’t need any ROM all you need is to unlock it, because it can only be used inside U.S.A under AT&T network. Only then you can use any SIM card on your Galaxy S3 US SGH-1747.
