Hi
Im new here and new to samsung as i purchased a S3 and absolutely love it so far (goodbye iphone!)
The item is on the network '3' and locked to 3 so what i want to do is debrand the phone so there would be no more 3 pre-installed apps and logos and then root the phone and try the voodoo unlock app to try and unlock it.
I know how to root the phone and install the apk file I am just confused on how to debrand the phone using odin, i do not know which specific firmware I should be using.
I would REALLY APPRECIATE it if someone could send me a direct download link to the network/carrier free firmware that I need to flash my phone and the specific version of Odin that I need and a video/picture tutorial on how to flash as i have never flashed android firmwares.
Here are some details which may help:
Model number: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.0.4
Product code:
firmware version: AP: I9300XXALF6
CP: I9300NELF1
CSC:I9300H3GALF1
kERNEL version: 3.0.15-705505-user se.infra:SEP-65 #1
For some reason when I type the code *2767*4387264636# to find out my phones product code nothing comes up.
Thank you in advance!
You need to root via Odin.
Then flash this following ops instructions via recovery

Any UK firmware is what i would use ,
But flashing stock firmware via Odin you may lose any upgrade path through Kies and OTA in the future , Nobody on xda needs them any way .

No only if you hit network problems .

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.

i am new to android OS...that means a n00b... but i have successfully root my phone with this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
currently Kies gives me this info:

what i would like to do now is to update to the latest firmware is that possible?
thanks
Hi,
If Kies shows no update, you'll have to go the route of manually updating via Odin.
This guide shows you how, don't make the mistake I did of downloading the kernel only tar file - you need the big file around 250/260 MB.

Hi DM-Man,
As far as I know there is no official update for any Chilean device.
The only way to enjoy other versions is as already said to "manually" change via odin.

You can always update through Odin and get the latest software from e.g. Intratech's ROM thread. Carriers usually do not update that frequently and you may be stuck a long time to a version.
If you want to use the Chilean CSC then you have either the old seldom updateable official ROM option or you have an always manually updateable "Frankenstein" ROM option.

If you only want the stock kernel then you will need to give us the original firmware you have on your phone.
unable to locate stock rom
I have recently purchased an sgs2 (actually came to my senses and swapped it for a blackberry) and have been scouring the forum for information on how to restore the rom to stock so I have a base to start from. I am new to Android so excuse my ignorance on this. If I do a *#1234# I get the following:

I am based in South Africa and can use the phone as normal but it does currently seem to be a bit unstable and the Market Place crashes fairly regularly on the phone. My carrier is Vodacom South Africa and from research the ROM I have on the phone is a generic for Europe (not sure if this is relevant).
In Kies, there is a message that says updates cannot be done using KIES.
I have tried download the stock ROM from the links on the forum but multiupload.com seems to be down or has very high congestion.
HELP PLEASE!!!

The real question I have is which is the correct ROM to download? There is such a lot of information that I am totally confused now.
On all the posts I've seen so far the one to download for South Africa could be many different versions. What is the relevance of this information?
XWKI4
Firmware info
PDA:XWKI4
PHONE: XXKI1

Android 2.3.4
What information do I use to determine the correct version of file to download. I am completely confused by the mass of information available, especially considering my phone is currently running what I assume to be XXKI3 which is non south african.
Could it be that my phone was originally purchased in Europe? If thisd is so should I be installing a version of ROM for that region or will any region do?
Bazilla said:

What firmware was on the phone originally or what firmware do you want .

Who knows ???
CSC: I910OXAKI3 but that reads as Polish CSC from memory .
Its normal to download the firmware for the location the phone is being used in .
Its also usual to download the latest version .
Its the CSC that gives local network details and the baseband /modem that may be changed if poor reception .
XILA2
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XILA2| Modem/phone: XXKL1| CSC: XEUKH2
Latest posted for the UK .
I would flash that enter network settings if needed manually .
CSC or modem can be changed later .
Note multiupload is closed down for good you will need a Google search or Sammobile .com for firmware .

Hello,

I saw many of the custom ROMs are XXALF2, my build number ends with XXALEF. Is there any difference?

Other differences are difficult to confirm objectively, Samsung never release changelogs.

It' s possible to know which are differences between alef/alf2 and ale8?
All you can do is read the web and the xda forums and some of that is guesswork .

Ok. After a lot of reading, I still don't understand much.
I'm new with Samsung devices, so bare with me with my noob questions.
1. The different basebands are for the languages or the system?
I'm from Malaysia with the baseband of DXLE9. Build XXALEF.
Can I flash with different baseband & build? Or the baseband have to be the same?
2. How about rooting?
Should I follow the baseband & build versions or straight away root?

If you used MobileODIN, try reflashing the same ROM, but having the .md5 in the external SD card, not in the internal storage.
I had this issue once and that's what worked for me.
Anyhow, forget about the Brazilian ROMs (such as ZTO). They are all outdated already.
Get one from NEE (new) or ITV (newest). They are better, newer, leaner and work flawlessly in Brazil (and yes, they both contain Brazilian Portuguese).
may I ask you to show me which one (ITV) should I use? Or just tell me what country I should look for in checkfus!

Raphael, if you're going to use the non-GUI version of CheckFus Downloader, this is the command line to get it:
Code:
CheckFusDownloaderCmd.exe -dl I9300XXALF6/I9300ITVALF1/I9300XXLF5/I9300XXALF6 ITV GT-I9300
Otherwise, for the GUI version, just copy/paste the parts below in the "Firmware info" of CheckFus Downloader 2.1:
Product Code: GT-I9300MBDITV
PDA: I9300XXALF6
CSC: I9300ITVALF1
Phone: I9300XXLF5
then click on "Check Firmware" and then "Download".
it was not so easy to find it in checkfus...I didn't find in gui version, and on nongui I downloaded, but after the download the program crashes and broke the file. 3 times.
But I found it at Sammobile, downloaded and already flashed! Thank you again!
Mine's also says CSC Unknown... I'm on Official JB Polish rom... do I have to flash that CSC package?? But what is the one correspondent to the Official JB Polish??
I have the same thing after the Polish ROM. Does having an unknown CSC actually matter for any reason?
Threads seem to indicate that it doesn't, and my phone is working normally, but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
CSC may play a part if your network has fast dormancy .
CSC essentially contains a list of network setting for local areas .
Example
<Country>UK & IRE</Country><CountryISO>GB</CountryISO><Region>EUR</Region><SalesCode>BTU</SalesCode><NbNetworkInfo>20</NbNetworkInfo>-<NetworkInfo><MCCMNC>23410</MCCMNC><NetworkName>O2 UK Pay Monthly</NetworkName></NetworkInfo>-<NetworkInfo><MCCMNC>23410</MCCMNC><NetworkName>O2 UK Pay & Go</NetworkName></NetworkInfo>-<NetworkInfo>
CSC code is part of the HDSWVER code that is used for Kies /Ota updates if anyone actually uses that route .

You have corrupted CSC, Flash the rom again in Odin as CSC, i.e. put the MD5 file in CSC instead of PDA and it will fix the problem.
You have better reset your firmware by using "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in your Samsung KIES 2.5.0.12114_1.
You don't need a correct CSC for your phone as it will just download the firmware for you according to the serial number you provided to the software. However, please back up your phone first as it may delete all your data.
Is there a way to fix this WITHOUT resetting? I didn't encounter it until recently. I assume it's something related to using Mobile Odin, but not sure.

I am not sure about that. Maybe you just try to download the CSC corresponding to your firmware version and flash it with odin, but I don't know if it will reset your phone.
Anyone who really does know how to fix this (or if it is even necessary)?
I also had this problem. Reflashing the firmware again fix it for me.

Reflashed via desktop Odin, rooted via Chainfire's latest root method. Reset. Flashed CWM touch. Device status is Normal and CSC is correct.
Just for future reference, in case anyone searches for this later. This was the actual problem.

Simply reflashing the ROM via Mobile Odin and allowing the stock recovery to be flashed solved it. Flash the CWM recovery later, if you want it.
Works like a charm.
I have an unlocked s3 originaly from three.co.UK now using on t-mobile

meant to say.... is this up to date? as the phone has been unlocked i am unsure How i will recieve updates.
What do you mean is it up to date ??
What does KIES say ???
Ask 3 UK what their latest firmware is ..
You are dependent upon your vendor to push out the updates
Or are you asking is what is the last released firmware that may not be for your phone ??
LG8 LG9 some countries only LH1 some countries only modem only update .
You could join XDA Developers and flash whatever you want .

KIES says it is uptodate. ut i see there are more recent ones on xda.
This phone was bought via ebay as unlocked, i am using a t mobile sim , I have no idea if i should expect t mobile/samsung or three.co.uk (who the phone is from originally) to update any firmware. I am not keen on rooting and flashing as everything is working and i am more concerned about a reliable device. I guess there are differences if done OTA or via USB/Kies ?

Yes but not for your phone but they will work on your phone .

The original seller 3UK is your update souirce ..
I am not keen on rooting
But a stock rom does not require rooting its a standard Samsung rom
and flashing as everything is working and i am more concerned about a reliable device. I guess there are differences if done OTA or via USB/Kies
OTA is usually a smaller patched firmware Kies would be a full rewrite .
But thats guesswork not seen Kies or OTA on my phones for years .
99% of XDA involves rooting or flashing as that's why we exist .

Same method probably even the same thread

however now using Kies it says your device does not support software upgrading via vies. I guess i may get OTA ones.
If Kies says this, your phone isnt on the software version it shipped with.
is that a problem ?, i guess it is because i flashed the above ?

You could join XDA Developers and flash stock firmware or branded firmware or via CHECKFUS .
About time OTA and KIES where banned on this forum .
