VD2

I have a uk vodafone S3. I have flashed the latest uk generic firmware to my phone. However it says this devise does not support software upgrading via Kies . It also is showing VD2 next to the new firmware code too. I assume that means there is something left from vodafone on there. The question is how do I remove it?

I did it on my S2 but that was along time ago. Please any suggestions?

Firstly, tone it down on the fonts buddy. Second, there's no Australian stock ROMs available yet, the best we've managed to do is get a Nandroid backup of an Optus stock ROM, which you can use to get back to Optus stock.

Am I correct that there is no AT&T USA firmware for Odin yet?

I seem to have screwed something up, presumably in restoring my apps (from a Titanium backup done on my old phone--obviously a dumb idea). Anyway, I get repeated force closes from android.process.acore. The moment I click "OK," the message comes up again, and I can't do anything with the phone, including getting into settings to clear data.

Restoring the stock firmware would seem the best approach. I've tried getting into Android safe mode, without any luck so far.

I'd be grateful for any other ideas or suggestions!

Edit: I finally got into safe mode, but it makes no difference. I also get repeated force closes for messaging and gallery. I can't get far enough to disable those apps.

More edit: In case it helps anyone, I found a thread about the AT&T stock firmware here:

Hi,

I want to flash the original stock ROM for my phone in order to debrand it from Vodafone UK, so it would be like if i bought it sim free.

Which ROM do i choose, i have seen several UK versions on the first page of this thread.

Thanks

PS i also want to do a nandroid backup incase i need to return it to its original conition for a warranty repair, but i cant find a guide on doing it. I tried to access the hboot by holding the power and volume down key but that juts keeps rebooting the phone. I also tried power, vol down and home key buit that puts it into odin mode.

EDIT: could you explain it like im 5 years old. This is my first samsung device running android, my only previous experience with samsung was the samsung omnia and before that was the D900. Android devices which i have owned were the htc legend, the desire and the sensation xe.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostunsunghero:
Maybe Hboot is an HTC thing, i thought it was standard across all android phones. Like i said this is my first Samsung device running on Android.

I'm Aware flashing voids warranty, however i can reset the counter as far as i know, so that wont be a problem, i just need to be able to restore the phone to the ROM its currently running. (I have no idea, its Vodafune UK stock rom). Is this done through CWM? I looked at the recovery menu but dont see any way to backup the entire phone to SD. Can this be done, or is this something i would have to back up to my pc with adb.

3. Will flashing the wrong firmware for my country do my phone any harm and is it reversible.

4. I dont think CSC is something i need to worry about if im looking to get my phone unbranded, or is this actually important?
