I recently purchased a Galaxy S3 from overseas (well, from a retailer that resells overseas stock), and it came installed with Hong Kong firmware, version I9305ZHBMD1 (after I updated it to 4.1.2).
Anyway, bits of the firmware are in Chinese, and I can't select "English (Australia)" (where I live) because the language simply does not appear in the settings - so I was wondering if it is possible to re-install an Unlocked Australian version of the firmware...?
But - I don't want to root/flash the phone or anything like that - as I just got it, and am new to Android - and I don't want to risk bricking it... So, is it possible to do through Kies? Or even without keys, can I do it without rooting/flashing, as I just don't want to risk bricking it...?
Thanks.
