I think the only way would be to make a backup rooted and unrooted and go back and forth. But too long a process just to check my bank account. Lol

I agree 100%
Very annoying though.....Id like to use a custom ROM.

I haven't looked into dual booting though. I wonder if that would. I have no idea how dual booting works though hahaha

I've been trying for the last hour to get dual booting to work but no luck. Anyone know how to configure this. On the E210S :)

Sorry, in advance, as I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm finding some conflicting information. Are we limited to roms for our specific model (SHV-E210 S/K/L etc.), or are we able to use roms from the I9300 and i9305 series?

Some threads have seemed to indicate mods that will work with either, but I was unsure if roms would too. Sorry for the noobish question, and thanks in advance for your help.

It's difficult for the LTE versions.
With the M440S (3G) it is much simpler.

In short, you should only be using ROMs that are for our specific phones. That being said, some people have ported other ROMs from the i9300 series and such. There are also Kernels that allow you to use different version of ROMs, but like you said, it is all very confusing.

There are too many things that can go wrong with the LTE versions, since our phones have different specs.
To be safe, I would recommend just using your phone specific ROMs. As for mods, some mods do work for stock ROMs......But again, it is hit or miss.

The ROM that I am using now, allows me to use themed mods from different versions......

Thanks for the info, I greatly appreciate it. Not a lot of custom roms out there for us, in that case (Ochies is about all I've seen for my phone). Can you recommend any roms (preferably relatively AOSP-ish)?

Yes but you must convert the kernel. OP has a link to the m440s page.

Sent from my SHW-M440S which thinks it's an GT-I9300 on Omega rom using xda app-developers app

Can I flash gt-i9300 official firmware on shv-e210s through odin? I want to get rid of all those SKT bloatware.

No!!! Unless you took a i9300 rom and took the modem and pda out of it... but... what's the point??

My advice for you is:

Root your device (install CWM on it to have te super user access)
Install the app called "root uninstaller" on play store
Uninstall all apps that you want...

Or try to find a custom rom for your device... the chineses does a lot of roms for SHV series. ..

Go to the OP and click on your phone version.
Everything that you need/want is posted there. Links to stock/custom ROMs and Kernels.

The best rom I ever tried, just disappointing that the installation is done by Aroma in Chinese language i think, I did not understand anything :) I set the blind.Sorry for my english.
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-5649341-1-1.html
but i think there is version 16... On that forum are many roms, for 210k etc...

It is the best ROM you have ever tried, but it is all in Chinese and you can't understand anything? hahahhaha
So, why is it the best ROM?

There are plenty of other ROMs that we can understand and are amazing......

    Proxyme Rooting

    Proxyme Guide


    Pre Rooted stock ROMs

    (Flashing the following ROM components will trigger the custom binary counter)
    Kitkat 4.4.4

    E210KKTUKNI3 (Proxyme) (Build Date 2014-09-12)
    • This zip archive contains an Odin flashable file. It is not the complete stock image, so you MUST have KTUKNI3 already running on your phone or you will need to download it from the above reference sites, which carry complete stock firmware images, and flash it before continuing with this file. Instructions are included.
    • uploaded.net
    • torrent, mirror2

    (Flashing these ROMs will NOT trigger the custom counter)
    Jelly Bean 4.3

    Rooting Instructions:
    Default state is - not rooted - Proxyme has been included in this rom,
    Proxyme offers live su binary control, and without the need to 'root' the phone, you have...
    - SSH server with virtually unlimited user accounts, configurable with specific UID, GID, home directory and shell,
    - execution of scripts with elevated privileges (sample debloating script included),
    - tag along scripts for root ON and root OFF actions,
    - busybox switch

    E210KKKUGND3 ( 2014-04-29 )
    If you experience problems after flashing, please consider wiping data/cache in recovery mode before posting issues in the thread. As usual, it is highly recommended that you backup your data before flashing this firmware image, even though it will not implicitly wipe data/cache partitions.

    E210KKKUGNA3 ( 2014-01-22 )
    Backup your data before flashing this firmware image, because it will perform a factory reset and wipe the cache and data partitions.

    E210KKKUGML4 ( 2013-12-12 )
    Backup your data before flashing this firmware image, because it will perform a factory reset and wipe the cache and data partitions.
    Rooting Instructions:
    Default state is - not rooted -. To root, create a file (can be empty) in directory /sdcard/Download/ called rootme and reboot the phone. As long as that file exists, your phone starts up rooted, remove or rename the file and root is no more. You get access to the su binary and thus root access, but SuperSU is no longer included; install it from the Play Store.



    On Ice (Due to hotfile shutdown, minimal support for older firmware images)

    Jelly Bean 4.1.2

    (1) Press VolumeUp/VolumeDown/Power simultaneously for a brief moment to toggle between root/unroot
    This toggle only works if you enable Settings->Developer Options->USB Debugging. This video demonstrates how the toggle works

    Since this is a stock based ROM, upon flashing it will try to flash the stock recovery as well. As soon as your device boots up after installing the new ROM, flash CWM Recovery again via Rom Manager .
    Other CWM Based Custom Recoveries are not recommended. Do not use "Reboot to Recovery" option inside the ROM at any cost. Always use Hardware Keys to Boot in to Recovery. If it fails to enter in to Recovery, Flash CWM Recovery again.
    Upon exiting CWM Recovery if it asks "Fix Root?" -> Always select YES!
