Basically said it in the title. I have an Orange branded SIII (Orange splash screens) and would like to know if I can install a stock SIII ROM on it. I ask because:
A) The idea of having an Orange branded one irritates me (got it cheap on ebay)
B) Carrier-branded handsets get Android updates later (would this even help with that?)
If it is possible, could somebody provide me with a guide to finding the correct ROM and installing it? My phone is rooted with CWM.
Thanks
Hi I'd also like to know this but I'm not to keen on rooting just yet I just want to get away from bloatware and hope I can finally get Swapables working.
Cheers.

Yes. Just download the stock ROM you want (either using the files posted here or CheckFUS, which I find is faster) and flash it with Odin
There are already threads about this.

Sorry I did search but couldn't find anything.
I only asked as on the site I got the stock ROM from said not to flash to branded devices.
I'll give it a go anyway as I now know how to unbrick due to XDA.
I'll keep hunting.

Stock roms post flash stock rom for your location or as near a match to your current firmware version . No details given so no idea what it could be .

yes you can. but why not flash the latest LF6 ROM? it is the best one
So flashing from a branded ROM to an unbranded one will work fine?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
There are no hardware differences, only customizations in the ROM.
So yes, it will work just fine.
Sorry I meant firmware. Or, are roms and firmware the same thing?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thats a tricky one to answer.
Firmware is a little more all encompassing than rom normally, usually not just including operating system but also baseband/modem software.
Generally speaking they are the same thing though.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
But if I flashed from BVALE4 to XXALF2 (or any stock, unbranded firmware) it will work fine, yeah?

So, i have the LG G2 D800 and the Gyroscope works fine since i bought it, custom roms rotated fine but recently ANY Rom i flash doesn't rotate, ran some tests and the Gyro stays at 0,0,0 when i flash the d80010c to 20d kitkat stock from LG it rotates and the tests go from -1,0,2 and so on and so forth.
I don't want LG's UI, but i also want rotation, if you guys can help, please. I recorded it also just today, sorry for bad quality.

11:40 LG G2 KitKat Flashable rom [Stock] 4.4.2
Simply download and flash this modem. Your rotation will be working just fine afterwards. Make sure to make a backup of your current baseband or if when/if you ever flash back to stock you wont have rotation with the stock rom lol. Simple fix

The modem you need to get rotation working depends on the custom rom you are using!
If you are using a custom rom that is based on LG's KitKat Source (e.g. Mahdi Rom, Slim Kat has now started with test builds) you need a non-modded KitKat modem version.
If you are using a Kit-Kat Custom rom, but which is based on LG's JellyBean Sources you need a moded Kitkat modem version to get rotation working.
Which custom are you using at the moment?
The moded versions can be found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705509

You are right, I haven't read properly. But I think just providing people with download links doesn't help them at all.
For myself i want to know why these problems appear and why these issues can be solved by flashing this specific file.

Well no one had replied to his post and that was in March so I thought you would appreciate a quick fix. I usually like to explain my reasoning behind suggesting a link to download a file and what it's going to do and how exactly its going to fix your problem and what has happened in the first place so the user not only gets an answer or ultimately a solution he is now is knowledgeable on the subject for future reference.

I noticed that is for a D800. Which one is for KiTKat D80220D Stock ROM? I was trying to get LTE and flashed a modem but lost rotation. I need to get back to the original D80220D modem. Thanks.
Stock as in fully stock or a custom stock ROM??

That is not going to work for a D802. The only way to fix this is to flash back to stock (fully). I did that an amazingly lost nothing except root. I was proud of myself. Then in the process of trying to regain root I lost everything...ouch! I completely forgot about how i originally got root while in JB an and still had the old iroot files. It was a disaster.

Hi, the link you had provided is no longer active. Is it possible for you to update that please? I am facing this problem currently and your post appears like the best answer around. I intend to try out your method, however that can be possible if you can update the URL for downloading and flashing the modem.
I was using galaxy s4 since last 8 months,but from last month it was restarting unexpectedly. I tried factory reset. But it did'nt helped as much. Yesterday i updated my phone to 4.4.2 kitkat.The problem is grown worse now.Also the power button is responding strangely,it is opening power menu instead pf getting locked even it is pressed quicky.
It just got stucked in boot loop. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
P.s -sorry for bad english

Try reflashing the stock rom!
Try flashing the stock rom again, you probably have bad system files.(Just an educated guess).
If that fails, then you should send it to the service center, hope i could help. Thank me if that helps xD
I am using the offical rom only. How can i reflash the rom ? Plz tell

Download firmware from sammobile.com and flash via odin. Search on google for detailed procedure.

Hi im wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I just flashed Omega rom 7.0 with no problems but then i flashed the new bootloader using Odin and it was successful too but for some reason when i check the bootloader version its still the old one.
I figured it out. Make sure to power down completely first and then boot into download mode and then flash thru Odin that way.

What is all about that new bootlader? Do I need to flash it? What has changed?
Thank you!
If you want to use the stock kernels you have to flash the new bootloader. Things like screen casting to a smart TV can only be done with stock kernels.

Based off T-Mobile firmware but allows ROM to boot for those who tried and got bootloop
Well this can be really good cause their devs and ours can work together.

Yes I flashed it and no signal or data on stock sprint rom

Try flashing the stock sprint kernel. You probably need to change the build.prop to get data to work.
I was thinking the samething. Build props.
Why why would you do this?

Dirty flashed T-Mobile ROM over sprint ROM and data works so I guess it was just an apn issue so we can use Tmobile ROMs

Those having issues with data might need to reflash sprint modem downloading and tryin now i kno with the note 2 flashing roms from other carriers was pretty common as long as u reflashed modem and kernel after

You could use another sim tmobil¿ which ROM did you use?
Flash the stock sprint apns-conf, that's what we do on the S5 to flash other carrier roms and get cellular working.
So is there a way to mod the rom zip so it flashes right the first time with no extra steps?
No mod and once u get data working u cant make calls hopefully a dev will come up with a mod
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
only way this is going to work is if we can do some sort of build prop edit, you either get talk/text, or you get data, You guys have to remember only the sprint variant is triband.
Does anyone have a link to sprint modems that are available to flash
if you use other carrier Rom, kernel or radio this phone can be sim unlocked?

That shouldn't have any thing to do with unlocking as that is a firmware (modem) thing.
I know were all anxious to flash roms but doing stupid sh?t like this will cause problems later down the road for you dirty flashers. Then our sprint threads will be bogged down with noob-like questions because of noob-like actions. This is a new phone, new forum.... Just be patient so we dont have a 2000 page plus threads over small stuff. Ffs...
