No custom rom allows yet...how about different region stock rom? - Atrix 4G General

I understand that custom rom is not allow on atrix (yet) since the bootloader is signed...How about flashing different region rom (european, asia version)? Would that be possible?
Thanks

The Atrix 4G (Olympus) has only been released in the US. It is not available in other countries, nor have any plans to do so been announced.

I stand corrected. It has been announced for Orange UK & Bell Canada. Thanks for the head's up.

No you will not be able to flash different Roms, unless Motorola breaks form. Normally the signing keys are not the same from provider to provider.

just curious on why you want to do that??
I guess it comes up automatically if we flash a rom related to one country. Have no idea on how to change it afterwards.

well, i did not think it that way...i was thinking if there is some specific functionalities of the phone if it is listed as Australia.
It would be nice to have phone numbers and such formatted for Australia, if it had Australia in the locale it wouldn't matter as much. and i think since it says Indonesia i'll keep getting the Indonesia'n firmwares and updates not ones for Australia.

If your phone is region code TMN, you can upgrade without hacks or test mode by using Kies. The rest of us (should we for some reason want to) can use the hack described in this post.
2.2 ROM? any changelog?
Nice one.
I'm in TMN region.... Still using JM8 without all that TMN provider stuff...

I would not do that, TMN versions are heavly branded...
I would bet that most TMN users in the forum have installed an unofficial ROM just to clean all the branding.
what region is tmn?

After flashing with KIES are you guys keeping all software and contacts or is everything getting wiped? I'll backup anyway but I just wanted to know beforehand.

Well, when I updated my firmware to DDJG4 here in India via kies, all my data on the phone memory was wiped clean, without any prior information. Yeah, IMO, having a backup ready would be wise irrespective of whether this happens to you or not..
is there a froyo release available for TMN now? my phone is not TMN and I'm not from Portugal, but somehow, my phone upgraded from JM1 to TMN JM8

International Unlocked S3 I9300 Jelly Bean Updates

Hello everyone,
first time poster here, so please be gentle if I missed one of the rules here... I've searched through the threads here but am still somewhat confused.
I have an unlocked, unbranded international edition I9300 coming in the mail shortly. I intend to use it in the United States on the T-Mobile network. It turns out that T-Mobile has 3G coverage in the 1900 MHz band where I live.
Being a complete nub, I would prefer to not root the phone. However, I'm also wondering whether it is possible to install a version of official Jelly Bean on there once I get it through Kies? I've looked at the releases for Poland and Sweden, but they seem to all be branded versions for specific carriers. Would they work for me?
Thank you in advance!

Yes they will work on any i9300 model. However JB for your particular region should be out soon. So, you could just wait and update through KIES to avoid an hassle.
The Polish release is not branded. The Swedish is.
It just so happens I just came back from the states where I used my I9300 with my stock Polish DLIB rom on T-Mobile. Worked great.
Okay, thanks!
If the OS is branded, what differences does it have other than the splash screen at startup? Can these be installed without rooting?
Also - the North American variant is not the quad core i9300. Do you think they will still release an update through Kies to the U.S. for i9300?

The boot animation, some sounds probably, some carrier specific apps and/or games. In this case the telenor release is almost clean from what I read.
The apps you can disable without root, the boot animation you cannot.
If I were you I would go for the newest JB release and wouldn't worry about the branding or the CSC. If another newer release comes around you can just flash it over your existing rom using Odin without losing anything.
The NA versions will most likely receive JB as the Note2 which is about to hit retail in the US is already running it.
im waiting for the official uk update either that or a good working aosp rom

What would be the best JB to work on AT&T for best modem and APN settings. Right now I still have everything stock as I got it last Friday but getting terrible data speeds. This is in an a H+ Coverage area. I have the AT&T branded Red SIII and a international SIII and on the AT&T branded I get 3 to 4 Mbps download, while the international just breaks the 1Mbps download speed.

Who told you that there are carrier specific boot animation or sound in Swedish jelly bean? Apart from one Telenor app there is zero customization in this rom. And even this app can be easily disabled without rooting.

I bought an international while in Saudi Arabia on business. I works just fine on Att with polish xxdlib. I have no problems pulling down 3 to 4 mb in decent areas. Unfortunately that is rare for me because I'm staying with family out in the boondocks temporarily.

USA I9300 Jelly bean Update

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone has gotten their update yet? I've heard that the american S3's on Sprint are getting their update already... I am on the international S3 and still nothing... that kind of sucks considering the fact that the international ones are supposed to have the upgrade earlier. What about you guys?

Got the update. Not sure if update for your CSC is out yet. Should be out very soon though.
Why are you even waiting? Haven`t you learned anything from reading these forums?
Pick an official ROM you want from samsung-updates.com, download Odin3 and flash it.
This will NOT wipe your phone, it will NOT void your warranty, it WILL make you not wait anymore
I am waiting because I don't want to root it yet...

Thanks for letting me know. I totally did not know that... the thing is that samsung-updates.com do not have 4.1 for my region I guess.
My phone is : PDA:LG2 / PHONE: LG2 / CSC:LG2 (TTT) . So it must be a regional thing since you got the update today...
Well, I'm in Canada and I got jb update over keis last night.

There will never be a specific US region update for the International GS3. The same was true for the International GS2. You'll have to download another country's ROM if you want to update. It doesn't matter. Just set it to U.S. English and that's it. I'm on AT&T and the ROM's CSC code doesn't matter either. I recommend the latest UK unbranded ROM build XXDLJ4. There are plenty of ROMs on this forum based on this build.
So what you're saying is that the upgrade OTA is determined by the current region of the rom? i.e. where I purchased the device?
I'm in San Francisco now but I bought my device in the Netherlands.
Can I just upgrade to the UK unbranded without a problem? What about US features like installing Google Wallet etc.
Thanks.
Dude just download the faryraab stock official and inside the package is Odin
Its so super easy. I have an American purchased 9300 that was originally a Brazilian firmware. Now I am always on uk btu mainly because its the latest and greatest.
Go to the general section and look for the latest official and its right there. No need to wipe or anything

Will my phone work if I upgrade to Android5.0 but my carrier is still at 4.X?

Basically, my carrier hasn't rolled out the updates yet. Is it OK if my OS is on a newer version?

No.
Not sure why the 'no' reply. Mind you that might refer to a locked phone. But if your phone isn't locked there's no reason your carrier would care or know.
e.g. I was on Telstra and was on kk b4 they released jb for their phones.
Full backup first...
