Did you get it from a network operator 'cause it seems like it was unlocked before being sold.

I figure it was. Its boot animation include the 3 network logo. Didn't realise the Int'l versions could still b carrier/region based. Pls any help as per resolving this? Does this mean I may be having this problem anytime I flash a new rom?

stan...I downloaded the bloody omega rom.but it has refused to work...it keeps booting up in recovery mode...I had to flash it back to neatrom ...
any suggestions about what might have caused it?

This requires FULL Wipe. Did you FULL Wipe? Sounds like you didn't Wipe Data/Factory reset

Check YouTube, u might get something on it. I'm mobile now, will help you better if/when I'm on a PC. Better still try flashing the JB of the region the phone is for. smiley

Something is wrong, flash the latest PhilZ recovery for your phone
International S3 GT-I9300 thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002953.

Also, check the MD5 of any ROM or kernel before you flash. Just me, you do not want to flash a corrupt ROM to your phone

I own a Galaxy S4 and it's the BEST mobile phone in the world currently, initial software releases were not 100% good but S4 has big.LITTLE architecture and this is a MASSIVE MASSIVE plus! Updates are released everytime, if you know how to get them and use them tho... Like the custom ROM i flashed yesterday by my Team (Omega Team) FANTASTIC!
Note 2 has been left behind, S4 performs almost twice as better. However, if Battery Life is what you need, go for the Note 2 or better still, wait for the Note 3 (September - October). ONLY IF BATTERY LIFE is what you need!
But mate,
Exynos 5 Octa Processor
5 inch 1080p FULL HD AMOLED Display
2GB DDR3 RAM
PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU
13MP Camera

You can Never go wrong with the S4!

S2 is so 2011 mate, TOO OLD! But still has GREAT support. Buy the S4 or S3 if you can afford it. If not settle for S2 as it will even be getting 4.2.2 OFFICIALLY. smiley

I hear that updates can remove the network unlock so best you obtain the unlock code at purchase or be ready to look for unlock solution anytime it happens. Best bet is to buy factory unlocked from the get go.
