[Q] Switching from Vodafone firmware to unbranded - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I just recently got S4 black and it looks like it has vodafone UK firmware on it CSC being I9505VODAMD9.
I believe due to this it will take a lot longer for me to get any official updates from Samsung? Can I easily change firmware to unbranded version? Will that void my warranty?

Anyone Please?

Go to Sammobile the latest firmware will be on there
I have heard that the Pakistan ROM has little to no bloatware.
Does it matter which countries ROM I install?
Is there any country where the first language on the first screen says "English" (i.e you don't have to change it from French to English)... so it at least looks like a UK rom?

Conect it to Kies 3 for confirm your CSC and update ur phone if appears any new firmware. The CSC have 3 letters btw parenthesis. You can take a look this list for know and verify ur firmware: HERE.
yeah, the CSC is MK3 (XEF) France . Bought the phone sim free in france when i was over there for the winter but back in the uk now. will this stop me getting uk updates ?

[Q] German Firmware on Baltic model

Hello,
i recently bought an Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 in Germany and found out that it is a Baltic model with the XXUFNC4 Firmware installed.
Can i install the official German XXUGNF1 Firmware on this model with Odin?
Sorry if i missed something but im totally new to Samsung devices
Thanks in advance
Sure u can. As long as the firmware is for I9505.
Mine was a Vodafone Austrailia model which does not have a 4.4.2 update, so i updates mine using ODIN using firmware of the Baltic region.
