[Q] firmware update problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I decided to buy 2 Samsung Galaxy SIII (for my wife and me), on my wife's one, she had a OTA update but nothing on mine... I decided to connect my SGS3 to my computer in order to see if kies will update the firmware... but nothin... only a message telling: 'GT-I9300' does not support initialising.
My SGSIII (*#1234#):
AP : I9300XXALE8
CP : I9300XXLE8
CSC : I9300AUTALE3
My wife's SGSIII (after update):
AP : I9300XXALF5
CP : I9300XXLF5
CSC : I9300AUTALE3
strange isn't it ?

Please check *#272*imei no# in both phone. If your phone is different then change it.
*It will reset your phone.

Just check both are same or not. If it is not same then you have to change it. So if you are changing then it will reset that is what I explained...

Is my tablet update via OTA?

Hello everybody....

Is my tablet is updated OTA? Sry, if my question is stupid but if my tab is not updated OTA, I wanna flash back to previous rom and will root. I really had to root my tab. Pls help.....

If your tab is not rooted, then you cant do it. If it is rooted, put the rescue backdoor and downgrade to honeycomb. Go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515720 . Follow pt. 7 of the FAQ. Credits to condi.
If i helped you, click the thanks button!!!

if you find,yes,it's a pre-root rom,you can downgree to 3.2.1,reference to AIO thread in dev form
if not,it's official rom(whether OTA or SD card flash).by now,it 's can't be root,so you can't go back

i'm afraid I cant downgrade now since the su is not here. All I have to do is to wait for the root now. Really hope that the devs made it soon...

[Q] Invalid MMI code????

Hi,
I tried the following codes on my phone:
*#06#
*#1111#
*#1234#
*#7465625#
and all I get is the message: "connection problem or invalid MMI code"
I do not think any codes works on my phone now....
Has anyone else come across this and can help?
This may have nothing to do with it but the Phone was unlocked using Voodoo sim unlock, and the original EFS files were backed up.
Arghh..!
I have now restored the original EFS files [with sim lock], and still no joy.
I am using a UK, Three, SGS3, SotMax V8.0 Rom and Yanks Kernal.
I have just read that newer FW are not compatible with voodoo sim unlock method.
Perhaps this might be related to the problem??
Anyone got any suggestions?
Anybody please?
Which rom are you using? If its anything Aosp based these codes will be likely not to work. If its stock or a Samsung custom rom then it usually should but not all the time. I use omega 33.2 and certain codes don't work. Try using *#0011#. That works on my rom so ...

Sorry I didn't read the second post, if that's the case try doing a full wipe and start again.

Sounds like your Radio is the problem because the codes are not getting to the service provider...switch radios and your problem will go away with the right radio
Almost certainly the feature has been removed from the Rom, go to thread and ask

Does the IMEI and serial number in settings, about, status match what is written under your battery?
If either is wrong or blank then search Q&A for possible solutions.

Probably, it can be the SIMcard... Have you tried another SIM? Take your SIM out of the SIII and clean the golden chip on the SIM... You can although try to clean the SIMcontroller on the SIII where you plug in the SIM....
If it doesn't work, have you flashed a i9305 ROM? It can break you SIMreader...

that 'Yellow Triangle' on boot is an indication that ur phone is rooted as u have flashed a Custom Kernel (siyah).
As far as signal is concerend try a diff modem and see if it resolves ur issue
u can find some CWM flashable modem zip file in the link below.

why modem. the problem is with mobile network not wifi.
