I live somewhere in the middle east, would it be problematic if I flashed a different countries ROM in my GT-I9300I ? Also if possible what are the side effects of flashing a diff country ROM ?

You can flash all stock firmwares for GT-I9300I variat even they are for other countries. The only one side effect is that maybe your language isn't include in the firmware's CSC.

You can flah any stock firmware for our device. There will be one problem that your native language may not be included. But you can download that one through keyboard language settings.

Well if you actually ask a question rather than just saying "what will happen if i flash android 4.4.2 from Spain for Vodafone ??"
To put it straight, you'll have Vodafone's 4.4.2 firmware on your device. It's no different to any other Kitkat except carrier bloatware.
I meant as will it cause a problem as im not on Vodafone carrier!
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Potentially yes. Depends what they have baked into it,could just be Vodafone network, messed up CSC and security etc etc. But then again, probably not.
Word of advice though, seems like Carrier firmwares aren't flashing for people and they seem to work OTA only. The normal XEO Polish ROM works fine for everyone bar HK users.
Thank you, I got my answer.

Carrier firmware is also a lot trickier and might only contain the APNs for themselves and not all the carriers.
Also XEO is known to also have problems on Nordic EU N9005.
Yes I guess you are right @xclub_101 this polish version of kitkat cause me some strange problems and makes my phone restart suddenly when its on standby!!!!!
when I got my phone it was set on French , do you think I should download a firmware for France??
I mean as maybe firmwares for this country be compatible with my phone.

You could try a French frimware and see.

It's risky and not recommended. Apart from whether it would work well, you could brick your phone. Which can be difficult and ocassionally, not possible to recover from.
There simply isn't a lot of reliable information about flashing firmware from other variants.
I won't encourage you to do it, but I would speculate that it's possible. That NFC and a few other things would stop working and that it would be a pointless exercise. You'd also run a moderate risk of bricking your phone. You could reduce that by only flashing the ROM, not the kernel or modem. And in particular if you find the appropriate 900F PIT file and flashed it concurrently.
No warranties, guarantees or anything else. If you proceed, don't say that you weren't warned.
What stands out though is that you omitted a crucial and highly relevant datum. Why? What are you hoping to achieve in doing this?
.
No you cant. Its like trying to install to install XP windows program on W8

What's on the stock F firmware that's not on the stock W8 that you need ? If you flash a ROM your Basebaband will stay W8 but your phone version will change. Right now i am using XtreStoLite, my model shows a G900T, my baseband is still a W8 ( i'm in Montreal ) and the SE status is enforcing a 900F.
So you flashed a G900T over a G900W8?
My case its a G900W8 (Rogers) and a just want a Multi-CSC option, because I`m live in Brazil and want use the ZTO CSC (for Portuguese, etc). My question: The rom needs be specific to support W8 variant or a 900F can be flashed over TWRP ?
I tested with CM12.1 Nightly, works well, not specific. Just KLTE version. My desite is just a stock version with multilanguage support To my dad usage.

Flash the latest UK rom, after it boots pull the battery and wait 20 seconds, then boot into recovery and do a data factory reset and wipe cache and reboot. You should not have a bootloop this way.

BTU, and also KSA, is just a CSC code and may have no meaning, it's just a memorizable code, like e.g. airport code or country code etc...
BTU is region code for UK, KSA is for Saudi Arabia... You can look up for CSC code using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'CSC Lookup' tool.
You can also use 'Firmware Browser' tool in that app to find the BTU stock firmware, just open the menu > 'Firmware Browser', enter BTU in the CSC textbox and tap Go button.

I doubt that for warranty purposes that the csc matters as long
as it's an official samsung firmware from sammobile.
People move back and forth from different countries in europe
all the time that's why a different csc does not void the warranty.
But you can if you like, go to sammobile and flash the original
firmware with the same csc which the phone came with.
Hi that's what I did flashing back from BTU but every time it's flashing VIA csc instead of O2U

Thanks. Thats what I flashed but for some reason it's giving me the wrong O2 CSC.I tried exchanging the phone but the store realised I had the wrong software on.
Is there anyway I can change the CSC ?

Will give that a try next week. I've flashed the phone about 10 times over the last two days. I'll probably end up bricking it.Thanks for your reply.

My phones get flashed thousands of times, no worry!
I got the same issue with the CSC. Did you manage to get the correct CSC in the end?
