yeah, flashed over the polish rom fine, everything seems fine. I must admit the Samsung way of flashing roms (ODIN) did concern me as it's totally different from what I'm used to with HTC (RUU's) - but it's so much quicker, doesn't care what HBOOT you're on.

Oh Chainfire has a Mobile Odin app in Play store too, so you won't need a PC to flash a stock rom (you can still use CWM for 3rd party roms).

Rom toolbox pro is pretty awesome, check it out.

Don't you have Polaris?  :huh: It doesn't show up in the apps list, but when you open a PDF you should be prompted, maybe clear the cache on any PDF /Office apps you have installed.

Yeah I've got Polarise although I've recently  read that some other people have had to disable it and install other Pdf opening apps eg.  Adobe or Office lite.  I've done both and still no joy.   :undecided:

Jay did the UK unbranded JB flash over the top of the Polish one then? You lose anything?

Yeah, flashed on top, no problems at all!  :smiley:

I'd recommend rooting and taking a nandroid backup first "just in case".

I have <unknown> as my CSC now instead of BTU  :undecided:

Khare what does yours say?
