Good news for the dutch Ace users. Update from kies available for the Netherlands.
S5830XWKPO (CSC = XENKP2) (Android 2.3.3)
Happy updating
Cheers
-edit- its available via samfirmware.com (Thanks KoGi77GR). Dont be confused about the CSC. They made a mistake at samfirmware and switched baseband(XWKP7) and csc(XENKP2) numbers. So if you prefer Odin over Kies, go get it at samfirmware.com
At samfirmware.com I see a new one available, quite similar:
S5830XWKPO ## CSC - S5830XENKP7 ## 2.3.3 ## 2011 July

I guess thats a leaked one, not official. Since there is different csc.
Cheers
-edit- nope. You are right. They switched baseband and csc numbers. Its the same firmware, just checked at samfirmware.com

Hey,
thnx, finally it's there.
Dankjewel man.
Cheers.
I want to know what the latest firmware is please, what the the fastest one is as well, because samfirmware has the latest firmware which is 2.3.4 but before that it has 2.3.5 so I assume 2.3.5 is newer? KI3 is newest?
1) Which is the newest firmware?
2) Which is the fastest firmware?
Thanks
Samsung ROM: 2.3.5 (My custom ROM, CriskeloROM uses XWKJ1 as base, very stable, very fast, some people report the KI3 base is very stable as well)
Custom ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1 Base 2.3.7
So KI3 is the newest? Why does Samfirmware have a 2.3.4 firmware after that, also, does KI3 fix the Android OS bug? Thanks
Noting will fix the AOS bug mate, its as simple as that.

Huh? I thought XWKJ3 is the latest one right now?
Samfirmware is sorting the firmware on leaked date not from oldest to newest. usually the newest firmware has the latest letter in alphabet. That means XWKJ3 seems to be the latest for now. We will never know which is the best because samsung its not releasing any changelog, you can only trust your experience or from the other.
Thanks for clearing it up

So if there was a firmware called ZAAAA1, would that be the "latest" version then?

Only the last 3 characters indicate the date.
K = Year
J = Month
3 - Revision
KF1 would be year 2011 (K), month June (F), revision 1.
KJ3 would be year 2011 (K), month October (J), revision 3.

Its a code for the region/carrier and not always intuitive.
Hey guys,
Title says it all - I see changelist id's with newly released official firmware, but never a changelog of what's changed!
Eg.
Base Firmware: I9100XWLPF (4.0.3)
Country Italy
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 18th May 2012
Modem: XXLPX
CSC: OXILP6
Change List: 592261
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be fantastic.
Cheers
It is well known that Samsung doesn't release official changelogs, mainly because Samsung doesn't give a **** about you or me.
Ah ok, thought that was the case. No matter what I searched for, couldn't find anything lols..
Thanks!

The 4.1.2 is official but it says test build. I flashed it anyway and its amazing! I also got root on the 4.1.2 as well. You can find more help on 4.1.2 from this thread
I've mostly been a user of Sony Ericsson devices. I've had the Arc for a couple of years now, and am very conversant with rooting/flashing/modding etc. for the Arc and other XPERIA devices. I recently bought a new Galaxy S3 and, after a few days of use, am looking to rooting/modding/flashing some custom ROMs. I've gone through the various guides--shouldn't be a bother--but one thing I cannot figure out is what the codes XXEMB5, XXELLC, etc. represent. My device says XXELLC. Does that mean it wouldn't be possible for me to flash a ROM that's denoted as XXEMB5? Would appreciate some clarifications in this regard.
Pretty much everything you need to know can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927113
***Roll-Up Sticky Thread*** Stickies found here!
On the i9300 International it would be the below
XX - UK and parts of Europe, Asia
E - 4.1.2 (D was 4.1.1, A & B were 4.0.4 would guess F will be 4.2.1)
M - 2013
B - Month
5 - Release
So XXELLC would be UK / Europe / Asia / Middle East, 4.1.2, 2012, December,
So XXEMB5 would be UK / Europe / Asia / Middle East, 4.1.2, 2013, February, 5th release
If you want a custom rom then no reason to reflash a stock rom but XXMB5 is UK and parts of Europe it is a generic rom, not actual country or provider specific
