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

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!

Greetings and welcome to xda. You can not install the firmware for a different variant you may brick your device. You can however root your device and flash a custom rom, this thread here will help you

Cross flash firmware.

I am on 955F. But latest update is available for my phone via over the air is version R16NW.G955FXXU4CRI5
Also i live in Canada and my phone is sim unlocked and using telus. Is this why I havnt recieved the newest update? Can i cross flash new G955F firmware using odin?

Can anyone answer me please?

Please guys. Can i cross flash any G955F firmware? Some one has to know lol

Did you try to download the newest firmware via sammobile.com? Just tap your SM-G955XXX model and download the firmware, then flash it via ODIN.

But my question is can i flash any g955f firmware from any region?
