[Q] How to get Software Update for UK in US - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

Stock firmware upgrade from kies

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

CSC on phone shows as Unknown

I have an unbranded S3,that I bought from Amazon and when I put in *#1234# it shows the CSC as unknown. Is this normal?
If not what can I do?

The easiest solution for a new device is a factory reset. It should resolve itself when it reboots and flashes the stock CSC it shipped with. If that does not resolve it, then reflashing the ROM (or any appropriate stock ROM) should do so. You can find info on it by searching. I've even discussed this recently in the Q&A section myself, as I encountered a similar problem recently by using Mobile Odin and not allowing the CSC to flash due to a custom recovery being installed.
It's not a brand new device, have had it around 2 months. I installed jb 4.1.1 that I got from Sammobile using odin.
I've never noticed any problems, will the phone be ok or is it something I need to sort?
Am planning on wiping all data and installing 4.1.2 btu from Sammobile tomorrow.

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........
