Just flash any ics rom in odin
I advise 4.0.3 LPG. Current 4.0.4 ROMs are still immature and new releases for wide Europe will come soon

Either root your device with CF root and flash custom roms, or go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock firmware and flash through odin if you want stock ICS

DOES the 4.0.4 have any issues ? or any bugs ?
If your already on ics.then use the link in second post(phil)
if u are on gingerbread and want to upgrade then u need to upgrade bootloader and to be sure the rom contains bootloader,go to samfirmware.com,register and follow instructions
No not really. No annoying issues

YES i am currently on Gingerbread.I just bought it 3 days ago.......How can i check if ROM contains bootloader ?
ICS is great imo, Just root your phone and then follow the instructions on the rom's thread.

Ok so i'm on a UK Sim Free Samsung Galaxy S2 and was fed up with being stuck with the official 2.3.4 firmware so i manually flashed my firmware with Odin using the official ROM and all is running perfect but my baseband version has changed and firmware version to 'XXLPQ' and now Kies won't let me use it to do any other potential future updates?? Maybe because ICS isnt released officially on UK sim free??? Plz help! Thankssss!

Why panic? As soon as an update is available it is posted on Intratech's thread. You can just manually install again

Cut and Paste Basics
You rooted yes and now you find OTA updates fail yes .
As per ten thousand posts OTA may fail on rooted phones .
Choice remove root and update .
Flash stock rom via Odin and reroot .
Flash stock rom from CWM stock roms post should not need reroot .
All on GENERAL section .

Thanks ..
If i follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406664 okey? or something more i need to do ?One thing more please can you give me link for exact stock rom for my phone.
Returning back to stock kernel first is not always needed. With the previous update, i installed the update through Kies on my rooted S3 and just re-rooted afterwards. No reinstall was needed and all apps and settings were untouched. Try updating via Kies.

The thing is ... any i9300 stock firmware will work on your phone ... so asking for the exact one is pointless.

My Baseband version I9300XXLF5 and country Sweden
If you want exact firmware you need to use search both XDA and Google .
Try the stock rom threads x 2 but i see no later firmware for you on either .
Try sammobile .com
download with CHECKFUS
Baseband is your modem not firmware .
The link you have posted is not for this phone

Before you do anything please check you have the I9300 International SGS3 .

Hi All,
I want to return the original version of the instrument (version 4.0.4) which I upgraded version (4.1.1) -
how do I do that?
Where can I find version 4.0.4 so that when they emerged Original Samsung's official update then the device is updated ?
Thanks
Just download a ics rom and flash it in cwm...

Can you please explain what do you mean ?
I'll very appreciate it if you could explain what you said
I am not sufficiently familiar with all Android device and the world.
1. CF-Root
2. install and use triangle away
3. Go into CWM recovery and wipe data/cache
4. Download ICS firmware for your region with checkfus
5. Flash the firmware with odin
6. Make sure you have the right CSC to receive future OTA updates.

1. Download the ICS firmware of your region
2. Flash it using Odin. Make sure re-partition checkbox is unchecked
3. Full Wipe - If it loops on the boot. Actually is does loop.
All the best

Why did you make another thread? You can ask from your old thread. Do you mean custom or official ROMs?

I recieved the Jellybean update earlier this week and i'm not happy with it. It has slowed my phone to a great extent.
Is it possible to downgrade from Jellybean to ICS w/o ROOT ?
