Stock firmware upgrade from kies - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my phone yesterday.
Firmware info :
I9300XXALE8
Connected my phone to kies and found out that there is an upgrade already. I guess it's the LE9
Anybody upgraded the phone to this firmware?
Any clues about what's new in it ?

I'm on carrier branded Optus in Australia; it says mine is up to date with LE8 (hey, I'm a poet and didn't realise)
But I did get a samsung kies update first when I opened it.
What country/carrier etc are you on?

Mine is an international version, I'm in Egypt

XWKE2 the newest?

Hi!
Just bought my SG2 and i have the newest firmware KIES says. (XWKE2,XXKDJ)
I have look around in the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) and i have found that there is a newer firmware or are i just stupid?
KE2 is the newest available firmware in your country, and the newest available can variate from country to country. where I live for example(denmark) KE2 is also the newest firmware available. This is decided by samsung btw.

I have a new (unlocked) galaxy ace with the same problem. Kies just says "this version of the device cannot be updated".
But I thought the GB update was out in Europe already??

[Q] How to get Software Update for UK in US

Hi,
I Bought GT-i9300 unlocked international version in US yesterday. It was on LG2 firmware version, which I updated to LG8, but my localised search is not working anymore.
I am just getting web based results, no results from local application and contact. I read that the latest which is LG8, should fix this issue.
Could it be because I set the region to US, in software update settings. If it is the case, What should I set it to? Shall I set it to UK?
Secondlly I dont know how can I change the software update settings, shall I do factory reset or is there any other way of doing it?
Please help!!
Flash any firmware with a BTU product code using Odin.
The phone should then identify itself and update as a BTU model.

Anyone on Three UK not got the OTA Jelly Bean update yet?

Just as the title says. I have a contract sgs 3 but haven't got the update and I can only find people who have got the update. I'm wondering if anyone else hasn't got it yet, like me? Starting to think something's up with my phone.
Try it on Kies maybe? I just flashed the firmware through odin.

I can do it though odin if needed, I just wondered why I hadn't got the ota yet. Cheers for the reply though.
Can I ask what your CSC is set to. I am on Three and went back to stock to see if I could get the official update. I set my CSC to BTU and connected to Kies, when it finished with the update I was still on 4.0.4. I got the phone on contract with three but through Carphone Warehouse
Carphone warehouse phones are unbranded uk csc btu.

That's because BTU is not out yet, not that anyone is waiting for it!

Jelly bean 4.1.2 for GT-I9300T new zealand

I am using samsung galaxy GT-I9300T (telecom new zealand). Currently i am using Jelly Bean 4.1.1 in my phone. Officiall Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is here but i am not able to update my phone with latest JB 4.1.2. I have tried with wifi, Kies and phone network. It says that its the latest version which i am using.
What should i do.? Please help

Go to settings/about phone and take note of your baseband. Then Go to sammobile.com and download the latest Vodafone NZ Firmware. It's JB 4.1.2 XXEMA1. Then, as you're a Telecom customer download and re flash you're modem/baseband using recovery.
You'll now have latest official NZ Jelly been and a Telecom compatible modem/baseband
P.S You can use a Vodafone modem/baseband on Telecom without issues so re flashing your old baseband isn't essential. You may get better signal with a Telecom specific (T variant) modem though.

Thank you for your reply
But i am not with vodafone. My phone's carrer is TELECOM NZ. Will it work with Vodafone firmware nz?
Yes any firmware works with any carrier. Vodafone NZ Firmware isn't branded and doesn't contain Vodafone bloat.
You can use the modem that comes with firmware or download T variant modem and flash that.

Please report your post and ask for it to be moved to the correct section
Gleburn every post I read from you is you being a wannabe moderator. You must have too much time on your hands. And what's wrong with this thread it's a question about an i9300,posted in the questions forum........
