[Q] Hi problem debranding

Hi
New member here and could do with some help
I unlocked my 02 UK GT-i9505 no problems
I thought I had found an official rom unbranded 4.2.2 thru ibtimes as with my other phones to flash with odin onto the phone- full wipe no problem and downloaded @ 1.5 gb!!
H3G-I9505XXUBMEA-20130601113653
I have limited data on my plan and when the rom booted to my delight it was branded 3 network lol aghh
Could anyone help me with a 4.2.2 rom link, official Samsung rom generic unbranded for the GT-i9505 that they know for a fact works.
I am nearly out of data this month and can not take the risk on another mistake
Cheers

[Q] how to find out which Stock Rom

Hi Everybody, i flashed my s4 i9505 without recording any information.
Now i want to flash the Stock Rom back, and i don't know which one to choose. Is there any chance that i can find out the Stock Rom i was using through IMEI code or SN?
Thank you in advance for helping.

[help] flashing stock firmware on sm-n9005

Hey im new to all this note 3 buisuness (just sold my iphone 5s and got myself a nice note 3), so forgive me for my question
I want to flash a new firmware, does the country of the firmware realy matters? because my phone is imported and i have no idea from which country it came.
ps. does flashing a stock firmware will flag the knox?
Thanks
EDIT: flashed a new rom... but failed to flash a firmware
Flashing a stock firmware will not trip knox and use this app from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo to get device information

what's tour android version??? If already with 4.4 no BL problem you can root it directly with cf auto root or else
if not with 4.4 or you stay with 4.3 and root but many custom roms are not allowed to flash (4.4) or you update with odin and root and can install all 4.4 custom roms

[Q] Confused need help

hi,
have SM-G901 samsung galaxy s5 plus, android is 4.4.4, baseband: G901FXXUANK2, on EE in uk, i believe the rom i need kccat6
I have manage to root and disable knox.
anybody ? i need help to install custom rom can i flash different firmware and use a different rom ?
Yes. You can, just make sure to do a full wipe before flashing the new firmware. What's your provider and is your bootloader unlocked?
hi provider is uk ee, have rooted mobile, how do i check bootloader status, i flashed using cf-root with odin to get root and supersu installed, have managed to disable knox as well from supersu.
i am registered with sammobile just need some guidance on getting correct firmware so i do not brick mobile.

i think you ask in the wrong section, go to Q&A.
When you flash different firmware, make sure you use the correct modem and bl , or it wont boot and give bad reception.
look at picture , i believe the correct one
you have been thanked yes that is correct will move to q & a.
