If i have a custom rom on my s3 would a factory wipe through kies be enough to wipe my device clean and go back to as it was fresh out the box?
If i was you,i will install stock firmware via pc Odin.
Find the firmware you want, make a full wipe via recovery to not keep your data from your custom ROM, go to download mode and install the firmware through pc Odin.
After that, your phone will be like out of box.

Yes you can get new firmwares from samfirmware.com. I guessing already have Odin if u are using villain rom?
Have you/anyone lost the boot up sound with this rom?

Why didn't you ask this question in the Villian ROM thread? I keep seeing these very personalized one liner threads that just clutter up the forums when they could be easily asked in an existing thread...
You will not be able to update via Kies in the future but need the Odin /custom route .

New users aren't allowed in the Development section.
When you've installed VR, you won't get KIES updates.
Given the unreliability of KIES, I would never use it to update personally...
You can install future VR updates via ODIN, just like normal. Perhaps I'll even make a way to update OTA? All depends on if I ever actually get this blasted SGS2...
no, the rom works well so far

Hmm don't think so...
Never miss mind something about downgrade via Kies...
So only way is using Odin and flash a gb-stock-firmware...
Or u flash a kernel from here, wipe all, then flash a Rom...
CHEERS ;-)

No you cant downgrade by Kies. Use a custom rom or manually downgrade.

There is absolutely no way? It's keep magic all of a sudden after my phone rebooted I can't even get good signal, I was on hspda+
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Root has nothing to do with signal.
Root is some binaries pushed into system/bin and an apk put in system/app.
Try flashing a new modem and see how that works out.

thanks, or can you point me to how to reflash the original modem again?
The original modem??
Rooting doesn't change the modem so it should still be the same one.
There are a few different ones to try so see which works best for you.
I'm in Ireland on 3 and the LF5 radio is great for me since I flashed it.

Sorry still getting used to the lingo. I picked up the zip flash able for the modem you are referring to. So I can just flash in recovery? No wipe anything? How do it revert back is there is a problem. I'm on XXALF2

Did you download the .zip or the .tar?
Flash the .zip in cwm or if its the .tar one you got then flash it in Odin/mobile Odin.
You can always go back by flashing the original one back again.
I'll post a link for it in a sec once I upload it to drop box.

Yup, modem is baseband.

My current baseband is XXLF2, it's not listed with your links. How can I revert if something happens? Also are they listed in order of release, I'm in the USA if you can recommend one.
Thanks for everything
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Its the XXALF2 link.
You can try all 3 and see which is best.
XXLF2 was pretty good for me, DXLEA was only OK and XXLF5 works best for ME! YMMV.
try them out, it won't do any harm.
Search for mobile Odin on xda and download it and it makes everything extremely simple.
Just pick the file and mobile Odin does the rest.

Cant see anything relevant from the attached screenshots, so I can't just flash these in recovery one by one?
You can't flash .tar files I'm recovery, they are for Odin only.
Download mobile Odin lite from that page you posted and the flash kernel for I9300 in the 3rd or 4th post.
Otherwise just use Odin on your PC.
You may be able to find .zips to flash in recovery if you search.
Also you could buy Odin pro from play store and it will download flash kernel automatically so all you need to do is open it, select the modem file and hit flash.
Just to be 100% certain, you have the international version right?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks. So all I have to do is browse to the tar file and hit flash. I'm still on the free version.
And this won't affect my phones performance just the radio?
Finally I can revert to everything back by flashing the first link? Thanks
