[Q] should a ROM or firmware be location specific for international gs3 GT-I9300? - General Questions and Answers

I am in Sri Lanka but I bought my fone frm the middle east. Is it possible to download any ROM or firmware for GT I9300 or should it be specific for my location? If I use for instance cyanogen or a new firmware which may not be specific to my country will it cause havoc or brick my sg3? Please help.

Cyanogenmod (or any other custom ROM) is not specific to any location mate. And its ok to flash stock firmwares meant for other regions in your device. Just don't flash any carrier branded firmwares or use a firmware meant for another variant of your device. :good:

thank you!
Thank you very much. Was so clear and straightforward. Cheersata!

Update for SM-P905 (baseband no: P905XXUANA7 build no: P905XXUANC3) ?

Hi guys,
Am I mistaken or is this the last samsung note pro in the known universe to receive an update to lollipop? I understand it's been a long wait for all note pro users. Does anyone here have an idea when this particular model SM-P905 (baseband no: P905XXUANA7 build no: P905XXUANC3) will receive an update?
Chris
why wouldn't you use odin ?!

Unless I've missed something, the firmware for my specific model isn't available from sammobile, so I can't use odin to update.

I guess you don't have to flash a specific firmware since you have the international 905 model !!
Mine was from italy and i flashed UAE firmware without problems !!

Oh. I feel so newb (And I'm a tech guy...awkward....lol). Mine is running stock kitkat (4.4.2). I rooted it a while back, but so far, have not flashed it with any rom. Correct me if I'm wrong - international version means that all the LTE/radio bands are unlocked? I can't flash it with Deodex.Root.Xposed, as I'm not running stock lollipop. Which rom did u flash yours with?
Chris
You should be able to use Odin to flash any of the released 905 version lollipop updates from sammonbile. You will lose your root however.

Thanks for the link, however, I live in Australia, so according to sammobile, there's no lollipop firmware for this country:

Since your going to flash it yourself just choose any region (pick one thats on 5.1.1) and flash that. Then just change the language and time zone settings during set up and you should be good to go. Many US customers with the 905 used this method when other countries were getting the original 5.0.1 update before them. Worked fine.

Thanks for the info. Cool. I'll keep an eye out for 5.1.1. If I'm not mistaken, most are 5.0.2 at the moment, except AT&T.

THANK in Advance.
I'm not an expert on this area, but you can download the latest FD rom here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930FD/
It's always a good idea to make sure you have the stock ROM for your device before making mods.

Not sure what's the reason behind it. No ROM's were available for the FD version until this lot. I guess it might take a short while for all ROM's to be loaded up.
You could try to use a g930f instead a g930fd from sammobile, they say that are just the same un many threads
Install the Latest BTU for G930F. I have installed it, works perfectly for G930FD. Full dual sim functionality available in single sim rom.
