You have to restore to a stock official ROM. Have a good read at this thread. It should have all the info you need.
but, which file ive to choose? :/

Find your country and choose the most recent one. For example if you're from China/HK then ZSKF1 would be your best bet. It's pretty self-explanatory
Iam from germany
so ive to flash the german newest file on my phone? and than kies accept my phone, so it will automaticly update my phone? for example on ics if it comes.
Thank you for your help

Yes, however as you'll be flashing the latest release it could take several weeks if not a couple of months for the ICS update to hit kies. Although March 1st has been rumoured to be the release date.

sadly SEUS tells me any time i connect to it ..that i have latest update !!!
From what you have said it seems the 2.1 isnt out on your network, I'm going to assume your phone is branded. By that i mean, locked to your provider with a customised firmware. If you cannot wait i suggest rooting and debranding, i believe you can visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793 . thats the one i used as i am also rather noobish, however its easy to follow and will flash 2.1 on your phone.
Hope this helps
@puremods -
from your arc unlock screen -
press the following keys
Menu back back menu
back menu menu back
go into the service info menu..
go into model info..
tell us what it says in there...
^ guy above me, i have the same problem im not very tech savvy but i did the secret menu thing and it said
country: Singapore
Carrier: Singtel
anyway, Im on T-Mobile USA, and i heard there is update out (2.1) in Singapore, but my phone says its up to date its still on 020 firmware.
is there a way to update to 2.1 without rooting, i heard of the flash tool but the guy didn't give very clear instructions.
so if someone can link me to that thread and also give me VERY detailed instructions it would be greatly appreciated.
i worked in a college cafeteria for a year just to save up enough money for my x10 and im not going to risk bricking it by doing something wrong
Mine says
Model x10i
Country: Global Generic
Brand: Generic
Which method would be best for me to upgrade? Using SEUS doesnt work, when i boot it in flash mode and press enter on the program, nothing downloads.
Sorry for posting in your thread, i just dont want to open another one.
@vengeance1990
Thanx for helping ...i hope if this link will help ...but still don't know which file i have to download
cause my experience in phone softwares and programming is little
@ im_iceman : this sequence is not working
i did it many times and still nothing
@ im_iceman:
sorry it works
model info is
Model:x10i
Country: Mena Arabic (b)
Brand customized
and if u want the software info tell me too
Ok.. unless you want to wait for your official f/w to be released you'll need to root (suggest downloading the oneclick root app - This is the simplest as it does exactly what it says on the tin!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7913568&postcount=338
install the apk file on your phone and run it...
Then follow the instructions here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828163
Job done.

Sounds like your phone is branded to singtel.. so like puremoods you'll either need to wait, or follow the instructions I gave to him...

Hey guys, I am new to the S3 and Andriod as I used to be an iPhone user before. I bought a GT-i9300 from Hong Kong and brought it back to Canada and cant seem to get any software updates. I am currently sitting at build number I9300ZSALG3, just wondering if anyone could help me out doing an OTA update or via Kies or if this is the latest version. My baseband version is I9300XXLG3

Your firmware is from Taiwan..and for it the latest version is what you are currently using..however you dont need to wait for updates you can download firmware for United Kingdom the latest is I9300XXBLG8..you can download it from here..
http://samsung-updates.com/get/58/Samsung_Firmware_GT-I9300_BTU_I9300XXBLG8_Android_4_0_4.html
then flash it via odin...search these threads for the method to do so..
Hi man, Unlike iphone,offical rom is always the worst one.It usually uses more memory and have bad battery management.You can try another rom such as mike's.
Sent from my lovely GT-I9300,by the way,I'm a Chinese!Glad to communicate with you

Thank you! I am not too familiar with flashing with Android again because it is something new and if anything were to happen I wouldn't know how to fix it since I have been an iPhone user. Is flashing firmware any different from jailbreaking the iPhone? - in terms of being safer. Also, how can I be 100% sure that the UK version will work on my phone as well as keep my unlock.

Hey, again as I said to the previous member, I am not too familiar with flashing nor am I keen on doing it just because I am new to the Android community

Flashing the firmware is 100% safe if you follow the steps..it does not root your phone so it is not jailbreaking...so you will also not loose your warranty...
the firmwares are almost the same for every region, samsung being an a***le released different firmwares for different regions with different CSC....
but i am quite sure it will work on you region as you are already using Taiwan firmware in Canada...in any case download the Taiwan specific firmware also..so if anything goes wrong you can revert back...
by the way I am in India using BTU firmware..
Me too...
Along the same lines, I have an I-9300 sgs3 with South Africa firmware (XFE), i9300xxale9, but I'm using it in the United States, on AT&T, and am not able to receive updates thru either Kies or Update menu. I will NOT be traveling outside the US anytime soon. What should I load that would let me receive updates here in the States OTA?
Hi,
I have a SGS2 handset that I bought from India which has CSC set as INU. Now, I am in US for a few weeks using AT&T sim card and recently found out that a new firmware update has been released for my handset. I was trying to update it using Kies but got the error that my device does not support firmware update via Kies.
Now, there are 2 cases:
1. If this is because I am in US and my CSC is for India, Kies is not letting me update.. then either I can wait for a while, go back to India and update it. Or, please suggest me if there is a way to tell KIES to use INU code for updating this handset?
2. If there is some other issue, then I would want to resolve that right now instead of waiting.
Can someone please suggest me if it's 1 or 2? Any suggestions would be most welcome.
I know ODIN is an option but I prefer to use KIES.
Thanks.

Go to sammobile.com, create an account there and download a firmware from the US.. since OTA updates are region-wise.
After downloading the file, you will get a .zip file.. when you extract it, you will get a .tar file
flash via Odin..
Put your phone to download mode and put the .tar you just extracted to PDA
Cheers!
You may love Odin. It's much more secure

Just dont do anything.Why are people like you hellbent on updating.Do you think you are missing out on something free.
I wonder if any of them athletes that were over here for the Olympics updated their Samsungs.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I got this resolved few days back and figured what the issue was so wanted to drop a line. Actually, I was trying different modems few months back and had installed a different one than what Kies was expecting and hence I was getting that error. I had completely forgotten about it and then one of my friend reminded me about it.. I switched back to the original modem and Kies agreed to update my phone's fw.
I do like Odin but since I haven't used it much and still have my phone under warranty, I prefer to stick to standard methods.
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to update to Jellybean on my EE UK S3, however, I have no software update button and Samsung Kies gives me no updates.
Should i speak to T-Mobile/EE?
Thanks.

Tmobile/Orange havent released there 4.1 update yet
Hi,
I`m having the same problem.my workmate has the same phone on the same network (orange) and hes had the jellybean update for a few days now. Im getting really miffed as i got the phone on the day it came out and he got it a few weeks after yet he has the update without a problem.
You`re doing it the hard way.
Use Odin3... easy, fast, and certain to work.
Search the forums on how to upgrade to JB using Odin3.
It has been released on EE, many of my friend already have the jellybean update.
Is there any way to get my system restore button?
Any solutions?
One use Kies two ask your phone provider .
Three join XDA Developers forum .Four try a Samsung forum .

Hello, lovly xda-Members and Supporters,
I'll start so my mother and I use the same smartphone - Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 ...
When she came back home from work and she told me that there is an update for this, I was blown away,
I was looking through the manual setting on the phone for an update, but it said: No update available ...
So, all well and good, then I tried to update via Samsung Kies, Samsung Kies now says to me: Software update via Samsung Kies is not supported by your device ...
I Did something really silly the other day as i flashed a rom to my Galaxy S2 i9100 and i stupidly forgot to back up my stock firmware.
Is there a possibility to get my old firmware again?
I live in Germany.
& I'd love to have this update on my phone.
Each answer is helpful and I thank you once in advance!

You most definitely can return to stock, but if you didn't back up whatever data you had before flashing the new ROM, then they're gone (assuming you wiped before flashing). You'll find all the firmwares you want here:
http://www.sammobile.com/
I'm assuming that you had ICS before flashing the custom ROM, because you said you didn't receive an update, so you can most definitely do that OR, you can manually flash the update you didn't receive yet, which is 4.1.2 JB Anyway, all firmwares are there
Viel Glück

it was for 4.1.2 JB ? my phone is actually 4.0.4, it was allways 4.0.4, so it isn't for my phone anyway ? where can i find stock everything for my phone ? on Sammobile it shows me Taiwan 4.1.2 ...
PS ; Your German ?
In case you still need ICS, Then I'd suggest you google for that. Just search for samsung galaxy S2 4.0.4 firmware. you should find it. It's also helpful if you add your service providor (O2, T-Mobile or any other) just to make sure the phone will work with that network. It's just safer that way
I don't know if we're allowed to post links to outside sources here, but it's enough to say that many German android forums have what you want you just need to search really well
Not German, but I live in Germany :silly:
