Hello all,
I own a Galaxy Note 3 which has an Orange branded rom (France carrier), and I'm thinking of flashing a stock unbranded rom of France.
I'd like to know if there is going to be a region lock problem and also if the knox will be triggered.
You see I'm living in Greece and not in France. (If the region matters) ?
Thanks in advance.
No and No to both questions.
You can flash an official unbranded ROM over an official branded ROM. If you stay in the same region (EU) or even more safely, the same country, then this won't trigger KNOX.
Just grab the newest XEF and you'll be fine.
(I get people to do this with TNL and PHN on a daily basis)
Hello Xda community,
Personally i own an unbranded GS4 i9500( currently i have Android Jellu Bean) and i wanted to know which version of kit kat is the best to update to, since there are many options in sammobile.
- Country: India
PDA: I9500XXUFNB3
CSC: I9500ODDFNB3
And the rest are from different countries(Trinidad and Tobago, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia) but they have the same PDA and CSC, unfortunately it isnt released in my country yet...
PDA: I9500XXUFNB7
CSC: I9500OLBFNB4
Thank you in advance
The best u can do for avoid problems is:
1- Conect it to Kies 3 for know ur code region. CSC are the 3 letters btw parenthesis. The list of codes for region is HERE
2- Wait the update for ur code region. Why? Each country is different (some have LTE, others only 3g, differents modems, etc).
3- If its try for try.... select the one u wish but take care of the step 2 :highfive:
Indian one is quite stable and battery friendly.

Both are safe

As the i9500 does not have LTE, is safe to flash both. I did saw some improvments in phone calls and time to do the call in the indian version from the latest Omega Rom. The v18 was based on Russian version and v19 is based on indian.
Hope this help.
Hi guys quick one , in order to unbrand my galaxy S5 which ROM should i flash.
I remember stock roms being BTU but for the s5 I'm seeing info that says VIR roms might be stock UK
Whats the difference between the two which should i flash for stock unbranded UK.
Many thanks
BTU is stock unbranded.
VIR is stock with extra carrier bloatware included.
VIR is Virgin Mobile in the UK
I got a three branded s6 Edge + and the three branding really annoys me. I dont feel like i have the need to root the phone but is there a way to unbrand the phone?
I tried to find the BTU version for sweden on sammobile but i only found the three version.
So can i just go with a UK BTU version or should i just wait for a swedish one to get released?
Use Odin to flash an unbranded firmware. Download the firmware from sammobile for your model.
Im in Australia and my S7 Edge has Optus branded firmware, OTA would be slow with branded firmware.
Im planning to change to unbranded Australia firmware OR the latest Germany firmware.
Would there be any difference in radio, 4G/3G with swapping to Australia unbranded or even Germany unbranded?
