Help please debrand - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I have a Samsung sg4 UK one on three network I have debranded it so I thought
Using a guide in xda I used generic UK firmware but today when I tried to update phone using kies is said not alllowed firmware not supported by kies
Does this mean I have to use Odin again and find new firmware or do I have to restore back to UK three branded firm ware any help would be great ps phone is not rooted thanks

if you want official update you will have to go back to 3 firmware but if you want to stick to the generic update just flash it via odin once a new version comes out

Where can I get the three Rom from please latest official one

If you want updates by kies you have to flash an official Rom. There are debranded official roms available on sammobile.
or you are going to use a custom Rom

Anyways can you not flash a new firmware via odin then flash the matching kernel?

Is it possible to use the Generic American Rom to Flash an Australian Xperia Play? They are both GSM Networks I believe.
Should be fine.. I flashed both UK generic and the new Nordic 2.3.4 and both run fine for me (I'm with Optus). If you have 3G and data issues just re flash to UK or nordic

Just use the latest flash tool, dont know the version number but it works. And also if 2.3.4 update is your concern, i believe it works as long, from the Philippines and the generic nordic (i think) rom works and dont have any problem with it.

what's with the philippines?
I updated with 2.3.4 on Rogers and once done I don't have access to my network data. It tries to download the settings from my service provider but it keeps failing.
Anyone else lost 3G when they updated? Any tips?
R800i bought from China and still no 2.3.4 Upgrade
am i missing something?

Tmobile 4.1.2

For us uk locked Tmobile (EE) users they have released XXELL1 4.1.2 on Sam mobile. Downloading now.
After a problem with Kies updating the Rom ( my laptop ) it's was over to Odin 3.07 to do it. Everything is working mainly mobile data, any other Rom thats wasn't TUM caused the Data to break as it's locked to Tmobile (EE).
I haven't rooted it yet as I don't want to get that red triangle to popup. Will I have to change the bootloader for the cure?
My father's S3 is on EE, has the 4.1.2 update been released officially on Kies yet? It's so silly how they have blocked the OTA option on their roms

Yes, if he connects to Kies he will be offered 4.1.2 but after my problems with Kies use Odin to flash it. Goto Samobile to download.

N7105 on three UK

Hello all
I am on three UK network who are taking a ridiculous amount of time to release the 4.3 update. All other uk networks released this in December.
I'm tired of waiting for them and want to get onto 4.3, probably the DN3 rom.
I've researched how to root via odin but what I'm not sure about is which baseband, where to get it and install it.
Has anyone else flashed this rom or any 4.3 rom onto the n7105 on the three uk network?
Thanks in advance
