new samsung galaxy s3

Hello everyone.
I have just bought a new samsung galaxy s3 from china. I want to unlock it and install the newest firmware, all at the beginning before i start installing applications and changing settings the way i want them. For start the phone is sim locked and in Cyprus,where i live, i have to unlock it. The only procedures i saw up to now includes root of the phone which automatically means void of warranty. I don't really mind of it but is there any way to do it without this result? How about changing the phone CSC, is that going to help or this has nothing to do with radio?
I also want to install jelly beans but iam not really sure if the official rom for this model is on the market. Any help and any links would be appreciated!
Thanks!

No you cannot unlock your phone without rooting ..and you should have posted it in the Q/A section.

Once you're not in China why do you care about the warranty?

Yeah you have a point here but the warranty is international and i think it is valid in Cyprus too. But anyhow as i said earlier i don't really care about warranty since most of the times i fix my staff.

Congrats on your new purchase. The best Galaxy ever!
You need root privileges to do an unlock.

I doubt it. Try reading the warranty card that came with your phone. It states that the warranty is valid only in the country of purchase, AND with a proof of purchase (such as invoice, fiscal document, whatever).
Besides, since your model was bought in China, it may not be a GT-I9300, but a variant (such as GT-I9300T, or any other letter after the "9300"). That info will be under the battery, in the labels in its compartment.
If - and only if - your phone is not exactly a GT-I9300 (w/o any letter after that), flashing an I9300 ROM or kernel to it may brick the phone.
Before doing anything to your phone, read a lot fo stuff in these forums, to minimize your chance of bricking your phone, and get a greater understanding of what and why you'll be doing to your phone.
Anyhow, forget about your phone's warranty: a rooted phone is a lot better than a stock phone.

Thank you very much i will keep that in mind. As far as i know it is GT-I9300 and for the warranty i haven't read it yet but i will.

Ok i finally recieved my phone but when i opened it i was really sad to find out that the software was completely chinese! There is not even a choice to insert my gmail account so i can sync my contacts. When i tried to change the csc with the usual way (*#2372....) the only option i got was the one already installed which is the CHY. So i tried to download the SGS CSC selector app to install a european csc but the only way to download it is by google market, something that i am unable to do since there is not even the google play app in the phone!! I am really unhappy cause i was waiting for this phone for a month and now that i have it, it's all messed up...
Any ideas????

If you have a international galaxy SIII you can try that

No it's an original samsung's product. But i don't know why there is no sign of google in this phone.. And there are also a lot of chinese apps installed. Btw when it boots there is a chinese screen at first and then the normal samsung's logo appears. I wish flashing a rom will get rid all of these chinese things!

Jayden what information would you like to write down for the confirmation of it's international edition??

Already tried a factory reset?.... Hmm suppose u don't know where to look if it's all in Chinese.... I would suggest to ask a dev because I can't tell u if u have a international SIII or not... I guess u have but I am not sure... If u do have one then you can flash any stock rom u want with Odin

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337M) Post-Flashing Issues

Hi, fist time using this so lets see how it goes
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337M) and I recently flashed CyanogenMod and have regretted it ever since. It got rid of all Google apps and initially made my WiFi stop working. So after that I started searching how to return to stock. (NOTE: Returning to provider isn't an option) I found a stock 4.2 file and flashed it onto my S4 following with a factory wipe. What i'm left with is a S4 that has no sound or WiFi. Overall i would like to return to factory everything and just stay there forever. Flashing roms are just too challenging for me. Hope you can help. :crying:

Hi, thanks for issued XDA Assist. You can find many answers here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att. In short, you need to use Odin and flash the stock firmware from sammobile.com.

Thats where the problem is. I flashed my stock rom on to my phone using Odin and i am left with a phone that has no sound and cant connect to the WiFi. I have heard something about flashing a modem or updating the modem rom onto my phone but i have no idea how to do that.

I'm going to move this thread to the AT&T S4 Q&A forum. There are those there that can further assist you.

Sammobile has the official firmware. Go there. You need to register but it's free. The downloads are a little show though. Try that. You'll download a zip file, use 7-zip or winrar to exec the zip. In there you'll find the .tar.md5 file. That's what you want to use in Odin.

Perfect!!!! Eveerything seems to be working so far! I have one other issue that you may or may not be able to help me with, the phone constantly says that the sim card has been removed every now and again. There is a very strange fix to this but its only temporary. Restarting doesnt work, taking the card out then putting it in doesnt work but the odd fix is taking it out and licking the metal side. Has the sim card burned out?

Glad you got it working! Sounds to me like the sim card holder may be worn out. You could try a new sim. Also, it's not an uncommon problem, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43891560

Odin Restore with AT&T SM-G930A G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary files NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!

Odin Restore with AT&T SM-G930A G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary files NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!
Sooooooooo tried everything to restore my S7 AT&T SM-G930A with the "Supposed" G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary files that are floating around the threads. I'll answer the question "Why are you doing that?" first.
well because i am a flashaholic that gives ZERO **cks and is pissed off that this bootloader is locked and has OCD about flashing S*it. soooooo...... whatever. And yes.... I KNOW I shouldn't have bought a branded phone. But I did soooooooo..... Rant over, anyway, Figured I could try to flash the restore shizz just in case i ever needed it for some drastic reason or Just because i just wanted to flash ****. but to no avail Odin is giving this error on the phone itself while in Odin Mode, **Odin protocol version error!** tried it in Odin Mode with oem unlock switched on and tried it switched off. Nope same error. tried in the bootloader screen also with same settings, Nope same error. Sooooooooo not sure what is going on except maybe it has to be something with the lockdown of the phone. Just thought i would drop this info down here and see what happens.
Peace OUT!

Why are you trying to go back to pb5 when there are two newer FWs out? APF2 and APG1. I think I remember that people weren't able to restore to pb5 after updating to apf2. Could definitely be wrong about that tho.
Anyways, pg1 has wifi calling and advanced messaging.

I found out the fix by myself. I don't understand why nobody thought of it but here it is. All I did was reboot into recovery and factory reset the phone and my phone booted up like normal without root.
---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------
Now I'm trying to reboot it and I flashed the boot tar for it that I flashed in the first place to achieve root but everytime I download superuser it keeps force closing it...what am I doing wrong now lol. Like I must be the most unluckilest guy on the planet. This thing is a nightmare. Am I missing something after refreshing the rooted g935x boot .tar?

Dr.Ketan Port for Note 4 (Marshmallow)

So Dr.Ketan's S7 Edge port works on note 4 according to some youtubers and some commenters using the fixes present. It can be seen here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lrPz-PXGFQ
But one problem that isn't stated in the video, but everyone in the comments has a problem with is SMS. Is there any way to fix SMS? How do people using other Dr.Ketan roms on Sprint phones get the SMS to work?

I've already created a thread for such a ROM before stating all the required instructions.
Needless to say, SMS fix is also available by @ricohz.
Here's the link to my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/steps-to-install-dr-ketans-rom-g-t3379659
This thread seems pointless & might confuse the readers.
Would request you to take it down.
Thanks!

Yours works for marshmallow too?
The ROMs that require you to flash from Lollipop to Marshmallow don't really work for me and are not what I want. I just want a ROM that goes from marshmallow to marshmallow like in the video in the first post, the only problem with that ROM is the SMS not working which is what I'm here for. Ironically, you say my post is confusing but it seems like yours is also. You state in the first couple lines that it's for people "who are using Sprint's Note 4 (N910P) outside of US and are stuck with Sprint's ROM" which I'm not apart of, but you told me to still use it. That does not make sense... Also "For instance, I'm using the unlocked variant of N910P with a GSM carrier, so I was having problem in connecting to the Hot-Spot feature as all of my devices were stuck at "Obtaining IP Address" loop and eventually would never connect." is a WHOLE different problem that I'm having so please clarify this before you tell me that my post is irrelevant just because you made one first.
Edit: Also that data fix does not work for SMS, even people in the thread are saying that, is there another one that I'm not seeing?

I tried the Sprint M3 and M4 got bootloop. No success with the Dr Ketan M3 or M4 data fix either. I also tried nameless fix and the T-mo fix. None of them boot, if it boot, it gave sim error. The only one that work is the Verizon V2. It worked with M3, M4 and M5. I don't have an answer for you as to why on that one work for me but it does.

Flash super su you should of also flashed Dr Ketan M5 fix which address this issue
But you can just flash super su

And you aren't just limited to Dr Ketan rom
Mms should start sending out faster rom just needs to settle in
By the way download booster works and Android pay as well

It was such a hassle gettings Ketan's ROM to work I think I'll end up with no hair if I try the others lol
but what would the process for them be? The same?

Actually it's pretty easy you just need to know what to flash once you get it right it's a piece of cake
I posted a fix for MO on the other tread if you want to give it a try hit me up and I'll show you the way

Downloading G935A ROM files from a2phone.ir

Hi i bought a G935A off of ebay with a google account lock and when i got the phone and removed the google account i noticed the phone would restart randomly so i started searching for a ROM file so i could flash via odin but the only one i could find was G935AUCU1APB5 and when i tried to flash with odin along with pit file and without it i would get "Odin protocol version error" i figured the phone didn't want to downgrade so i started searching for the rom on my phone (G935AUCU2APD1) or something more recent (G935AUCS2APE1) my search took me to a site called a2phone.ir they seem to have all the ROM files for the G935A ( they wont allow me to post link ) but they charge for it my question is has anyone here ever paid for a premium account on this site and used any of there flash files i would like to know before i do something silly

Honestly as little information as I can find about it online I wouldn't chance it unless/until you get positive confirmation on here from a well established user or someone with evidence to show that it's legit. But that's just me. They may well be legit, but if you are doubtful enough to ask, that's a good enough reason (for me anyway) to not give them any banking information/money or try to put anything from them on your phone until you see enough on them to make you feel safe about it.

You need Odin 3.12 to flash any rom for s7 att. I used this site 's rom, no problem with it. I didn't find anywhere else to download so I have to pay this site. A bit expensive though

Is it seriously legit? I can't find the FW anywhere. It's odd that this is the only site that has it..

ATT firmware seems not released through official
channel so it is hard to find. I paid and downloaded it.
I could flash it in and got OTA. I paid using PayPal which is kind of safer.

Not a problem! Got it from Br3w3r who is also part of the team responsible for the S7 Edge root! Where he got it, I am unsure. I have had to use it once though, and I can verify it works. It doesn't appear to reset the flags that cause Samsung pay to stop working, but it'll bring your phone back from disaster.
