Hey!
You not using the RIGHT STOCK FROYO files for you mobile provider. Download them from SAMFIRMWARE. And use them, when you phone was come to the store(example: if you phone was come to store in february, then use the january RELEASE files). I hope you get my point!
EDIT: Dose you RESET FACTORY SETTINGS AND CLEAN CACHE, before flashing. Its VERY IMPORTANT!!!
CHEERS!
How can I see when my phone has come to the store?
I gonna try it again when I reset it to factory settings, but how I gonna clean the cache?
I hope it will work to update it with Kies!
Thnx for the help guys!

Hey!
Factory settings and cach you can do them, from RECOVERY MENU(if you phone SHUT DOWNED, then hold down together POWER+MENU buttons, untill phone screen flashed once and then is coming Galaxy Ace... in screen, then you can release the POWER+MENU buttons). Now you in RECOVERY menu. There you see RESTART, RESET FACTORY SETTINGS and so on. To move down in menu, use VOLUME DOWN. To pick it, use menu button.
EDIT: To know, when you phone comes to sell, ask from store, where you buy it.
EDIT again(LOL): INDEED FOR THANKING, just push the THANKS button!
CHEERS!
I didn't buy it from the store, it was send by my provider.
Oke than i gonna clear the cache now en factory reset it, after that i gonna flash the new FW on it. I can try al the FW one by one =P
(i gonna push the tanks button=P)

Have you used Triangle Away when you were rooted? Did you factory-reset your phone?
Go to Download mode and check what the binary counter says.

Oh ok cool thanks.Any other way?..n wat are the risks?
Your first question is
Is their an update for your phone your phone not any phone and updates have codes that must match what you present to Kies .
Simple solution is to join XDA and flash stock rom as and when or wipe your phone install the original firmware and stay with Samsung for updates .

I don't think so, but it's worth a shot. It would at least theoretically be possible for the phone to report the Flash Counter to Kies.

Hi,
Me and my partner both got s3's recently his on contract mine on like buy as you view. Mine received the 4.1.1 update through the phone and after waiting a few weeks and still nothing on his we decided to update it via computer. I used odin because i saw on a post that thats what you were supposed to use and flashed it to 4.1.1. I then realised i had put the wrong version on (German one i think) and it was causing errors so we flashed again to 4.1.1 the UK version.
He is now on:
Android version 4.1.1
Baseband version I9300XXDLID
I do not know if that's correct but everything seems a ok.
However since then my phone received the 4.1.2 update and we want the same update on his phone. It does not find it on the phone. Since then i learned KIES is the samsung software not odin. No updates can be found via KIES cos the software isn't supported. I want to be able to use KIES with his phone again, can i reverse the odin update anyway?? I rang samsung and he told me it will be like that forever now and i will never be able to use KIES?
Can anyone assist me. I really want ot be able to update from KIES again instead of using odin.
Sorry if i sound like a noob im only good with apple technology haha!! :laugh:
(edit)
P.S. My software is
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9300XXELLA
we are both on Orange if thats any help? His came on Ice Cream Sandwich though and mine came on 4.1.1
If the phone isnt locked on orange just download 4.1.2 from sammobile and instal via odin as u did beffore.

Odin is official samsung. You can use Kies if you use OFW. If your current OFW doesn't support Kies, just download other from samfirmware.com.

i have no idea what OFW stands for lol. Samsung told me on the phone i should not have used odin as it will void warranty. Im trying to revert the update so that i can use kies again cos it will not work at all now, and get the updates directly on the phone. Is this even possible?

Before flashing with odin try doing a factory reset on your device and then check if your device status is NORMAL to do that go to settings>about devoce>status>device status if it says normal then u are ok if it says modified try flashing the stock room with Odin and doing factory reset after the flash and if that dosnt work your device is maybe rooted and u need to unroot and do a triangle away here is the guide how to do that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710613

Yes you want 100\% the exact firmware that came with the phone including CSC .
A stock Samsung firmware can be flashed via Odin without any problems .

Ypu can achieve this by using KIES.
Open kies
Start recovering and make sure you can put your cells serial number somewhere
Connect phone only when kies asks to
Voila, stock as used to.

im not bothered about loosing my user data but the option isnt there for me, it says phones that need this are listed below and the phone does not show. Not even if i put it in recovery mode. Any assistance would be great i am however just going to download some 4.1.2's today to try and fix it. I did notice however that when in download mode at the bottom it said something about multi CSC should it say this? LOL i wish i was more technologically savvy but i am literally only good at apple software. Wish id just waited Someone said to do one with BTU on the end and it should correct the CSC code? any idea if this is right?
I should however imagine it would delete all user data, people on other posts have said it was lost

Ok if u want the 4.1.2 update and u want to be able to use OTA i advise u to do flash the latest 4.1.2 room from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 there is even a guide there how to flash it , if your device shows modified status after the flash just reboot into Android Recovery by holding Vol UP + Home + Power till you see Samsung Galaxy S3 displayed on screen , then u will see the recovery options, do a factory wipe and wipe cache then reboot and u should now be able to receive OTA updates .
I am also using the same room and all is working ok OTA shows no new updates but i think when the updates hits i will be able to get it via OTA , kies is not working but i think u dont need to worry about it because u can always flash via Odin .
Here is a guide how to flash a room with working Kies and OTA
First u need to root your device u can do this by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
Edit: When u finish rooting u should use this app its called triangle away http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114 and use it to reset the counter .
When u are done with triangle away then download this on your phone it available on play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Run it and change your CSC to BTU this will factory reset your phone after u done that u should flash the UK room from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
When u finish that u should boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset , you should now be able to use Kies .
I am not sure this will work 100% but it should , if u could remember what was the CSC and room before you flashed the devices with odin you could flash that firmware.
Tell me if it worked.
So it seems I have done it again, got into a pickle with my Galaxy S3. So here is what I did. I updated the device using Odin to the latest leak of 4.2.1 and I was playing around in the settings and I think I was fiddling with the mimic duplicate screen and set the resolution to 1080p, its a new setting in the developer options of 4.2.1. After that is froze and went into boot loop. I have tried re installing the firmware, no resolution. I also tried a cache wipe, nothing. So I then though I would download and install my original 4.1.2 firmware, XEF, but that said it would take a day to download. So now I am wondering what my options are, I will do anything to not have to factory reset this because it is just a huge pain in the bum and I really should learn by now not to play with firmware, cos every time I muck it all up. Oh and also my custom binary count is now at 1, even though I installed official firmware through Odin.
Thanks and sorry for asking another question, I feel like I just ask them and never answer any

if you downgrade the firmware you will probably have to wipe anyway do clear the system.
I think the easiest way to to factory reset in recovery.

Factory reset and your counter should be fine too
I have installed 4.2.1 over XXELLA (4.1.2, which was rooted), and then did a factory reset
Now, even if the phone is rooted, my system status is official and binary counter is 0.
counter was 1 in XXELLA btw and would not go back to 0 even after using Triangle Away.

Hello everyone
These are times I can not make or receive calls or text messages when I try to call there write "not registered on the network."
So I restarted my phone several times, do a restoration of setting, I searched my network manually but to no avail. I know this is not the problem from the SIM because I put it in another phone and I was able to call and receive my messages, so i concluded that it is the phone has a problem.
my phone works well but sometimes I have this weird problem
I hope you can help me I am disappointed, I thank you in advance

A factory reset will bring your phone to the condition it was when you bought it and thus this may fix your connectivity problem (i.e. if the problem is due to software malfunction).
Maybe it's a hardware problem too. The only way to tell is to do a factory reset or install the firmware again.

You can try that too. But I don't see why this will work since your device runs the original firmware.

To make sure that your modem functions correctly. If you flash the modem and you continue to experience the same problem then do a factory reset. If it still doesn't work then re-install the entire firmware.
If after all the above steps it doesn't work then it might be a hardware issue (which you can't fix).
