Hello, im trying to reset my phone to stock, and while searching for stock rom it shows AT&T, Verizon versions etc... and nothing else. Where can i find stock rom for international i9505 which isn't bound to specific carrier.
P.S
I was trying to find it in samfirmware website, but there were only country/carrier specific verisons.
There are unbranded firmwares in samfirmware

You can only use that if you are running a stock ROM in the first place. Any type of modification to your device and kies will not recognise your phone. You need no binary count, stock recovery and stock ROM. Basically how was when you first took it out of the box. If you do install latest firmware you may well end up with the new bootloader and the e fuse security enhancement.

What is the easiest way to install 2.3.4 version or newer to my Galaxy S2 4G current is 2.3.3. I will be using it in Canada.. Thanks
Official way: Check if KIES is offering you a firmware
Unofficial way: You can download the firmware from the Dev section Stock or Custom and then flash it using Odin
Stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Also explains how to flash. Please read how to flash and DO SELECT only what is given. Selecing PIT in ODIN leads to BRICK and unusable
Thanks for the info!!! If I do update it will put everything to normal right and it will unroot the phone?

Don't understand the 'put everything to normal' part but after flashing any ROM you will lose root. Need to re root.

Thats fine no too worry about root normal i meant everything will go back to stock or factory state condition. That triangle will go away too right after flashing the rom? thanks for your quick response
If you use one of the stock roms there is no yellow triangle. You wont see carrier animation on boot, but that is a good thing in my opinion. It's as if you bought an unlocked phone not tied to a network.

I wonder if this court injunction by apple will slow the rollout of v2.3.4 to the rest of Europe, I hope not i am sick of waiting as it is.
So just odin right? Not sure which stock rom I can use with it been searching around here and seen so many of them.

You did read the 1st post of that link right? I mean specifically the part that said "Flashing firmware with Odin" and had the usless screenshots and stuff.
guys when is the i9505 getting the MEA update???
am still on MDM havent got any new Firmware is it due to rooting and custom recovery or what
When your device has a custom status you will never get the update download a pre rooted stock rom from the development section and flash it.

I'm from germany and installed the rom without any problems from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42798412&postcount=2
There are 29 csc codes in it so I guess you will be fine with that

Boot your device into download mode. If your phone status is official you will be able to get OTA Updates.
I've installed the first firmware from the post. (pre rooted)

Ya its official with custom binary no thanks alot for replr
So, my S4 wont read my simcard anymore, and I have to send it back.
What do I need to do to make sure that Samsung accepts and replaces my device.
It's Rooted, has a custom recovery and ROM.
Thanks.
EDIT: Its a Canadian S4.
Remove flash back via Odin find stock factory image for YOUR DEVICE (I337m) I take it you didn't update it so find the Odin files that correspond with the fw that your phone officially came with

So I went back to the Official Samsung firmware, and used triangle away. Now when I boot into download, both say official. However, when I check device status, it still says custom.
I have removed Root and have a custom recovery installed. Found a Sprint S4 recovery, but I can't find the Canadian. Will the sprint one work?
Only other method I could think of is using Kies (if you don't have it downloaded it) to restore it completely.

I'm not too sure. You could search it

If you have an i337m you can flash the stock firmware with odin.

See, I cannot go back to stock and do the triangle away method as SIM card is required to activate the phone, which currently won't read a simcard. Can I not just flash the recovery? Or is there a way to bypass simcard activation? Thanks
Hi
I have been using Nightly 4.2.2 for a while now but seeing as 4.3 official is on its way I would like to flash back to 4.1.2 so I can OTA it.
This is going to work right?
Anyway I have been trying to find a GBR in this link, although when I bought TAB it would factory reset to Germany and I would simply change the language on setup....
Is there a GBR or do I need to go with a GER one, cant see either in this link

You can flash a stock firmware and receive OTA updates normally.

This was originally a Germany version although why should that matter it's still the same device?

Make sure the model is the same.
No matter the firmware, if the model is the same the firmware should work.
Try to reflash again.

Did you shut down the phone, pull the battery and wait for 20 seconds? Then boot into downloadmode and flash the rom with Odin 3.09. Is Kies terminated in windows task manager?
No because not been nesesery for TOP rom. Kies not terminatet on task manager. Maybe need change Csc before flash NEE?
