Hy, I bought SGS3 and i want to ask if i want to update to Jelly Bean , what i need to do for it?
Thanks..
Maybe you wait till samsung releases JB and update via KIES?
Updates are via OTA on your phone or via Kies software from your PC .
You get JB when Samsung release it and your phone vendor provides your phone with the update .
Or you can join XDA Developers forum and flash stock Samsung roms when you learn how to .

Hi!
1. Is there any way to get informed about the official firmware releases from Samsung.
Is there any Blog about this or any option on Kies to get a notification about updates?
2. Another thing: where can i find this leakd Stock 2.3.4 ROM for the SGS2? I just found this DarkyROM...with baaad GUI modifications...i dont like it!
I would like to try 2.3.4 untill Samsung releases the officiall version.
THX!
Usually the leaked versions appear on samfirmware.com first. Intratech has 2 threads in samsung original android development section with released roms, both unbranded and branded ones. Kies prompts you for updates if you are on stock rom, don't know if it still prompts you after changing your rom through Odin.

Samsung blogs are not recent /up to date .
Samfirmware.com about the best next best would be XDA .

There is everything you need for official Kies Updates!
Hi guys,
Sorry if this is a really stupid question but I'm finding it hard to get answers.
Basically I don't think I would use the features on a rooted phone and I don't want to take the risk of rooting it, all I want is to get the updates as soon as samsung release them and not have to wait for my network. Is it easy to install the official samsung firmware and if so can it be done without rooting and is it safe? Also where can you download the firmware and know it's a safe one too use.
The link is a screenshot of my s2 about page if that helps?

Official samsung releases are installed through KIES. Unofficial, are installed through Odin. You can download the unofficial releases through samfirmware.com
But kies will only keep updating me when my network release it?
Like now I am on 2.3.3 but there is a newer version than that.
If I get the samsung stock version and install it with odin will kies keep me updated when samsung release a new one?

Do you read what's written on the screen when you go into download mode? Odin is the official method of flashing the official firmware on devices at ALL Samsung service centers. It's true that official firmwares to users are only released through KIES but the same official firmwares are found the firmware thread. They are from Samsung, off their very own server and have been packaged for use with Odin.
edit: OP, look in the dev section for information on how to flash your firmware with Odin.
Hello guys
this is a question but i still didn't get the Jelly bean upgrade (OTA or Kies)
my current firmware version is PDA:LFB/PHONE:LFB/CSC:LF3 KSA
should i just wait?
I really appreciate your help
Thank you for your time and sorry for my English
It is scheduled for October....please wait until then if u r looking for an official one..

But if you really wonder Jelly Bean, you can reach offical JB leaks (OTA and Full firmware packages) in SamMobile. Check the General section. You will find whatever you want. first of all you have to know what is CF-root, odin, recovery, CWM etc..
Sorry about my bad English too
Just wait for the official release .

Hello guys!
I have Galaxy S3 I9300 GSMH.
It's unbranded, i made a research in the forum and it's supposed to be a factory unlocked phone. following the coment "But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)" by dr.ketan in http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1801022
My actual firmware installed is the UBBLG2. It's running ICS 4.0.4.
So, here is the thing, I need to know if I can stall any Official Firmware from Samsung with Jelly Bean 4.1.1.
1. What Official firmware should I install?
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4? Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Looking at these site and post we know the lastest firmware is I9300XXDLIB. Should I go with this one?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/
Last thing. OR should I wait for the 4.1.1 release to this baseband version I9300UBBLG2 ?
Take care guys and thanks for all your help.

YES
1. What Official firmware should I install?
Only one JB official the Polish release .
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
If you want to or have network problems .
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4?
You can but why //
Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
No
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Yes no updates
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/

Thanks for your reply JJEgan
so to make a complete picture we got.
1. I can install JB 4.1.1 Official Firmware Polish Release.
2. I don't have to change the CSC. That must remain untouched.
3. Why will this affect future updates if it is a Official Firmware used on a Factory unlocked I9300? so I won't ever get updates for bug fixes and improvements? How will I handle that?
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3. Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband? being this a international factory unlocked.
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Thanks

You dont have to no must remain untouched .

Same way as you are now updating via XDA .
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3.
It is being rolled out .
Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband?
Baseband is nothing to do with firmware .
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best .
Or read and learn and flash stock rom from XDA ,

Thank again for your help, I don't want to bother you, but you make me feel confused.
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS ."
But you do not clarify Why this official firmware from Samsung does affect future updates. I mean the Reason. WHY?
And then you do not answers my question and just told me "Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best ." even when you said before "will not be released its ICS ."
If there is something else i should know please point me in the right direction, i just want to know and learn more to be sure before installing because it doesn't make sense installing JB if you wont ever get updates from Samsung or android for bug fixes and improvement updates.
Sorry if I'm bothering you, don't take it personal.
Repeat you need to read and learn .
Update path official via Kies or OTA OK .
No problem whenever the update is released for your phone you get it .
Alternative via XDA and flash stock rom on day of release no waiting or custom rom .
Example official JB you let us say six weeks wait .
XDA has stock JB released for Poland you can install that .
But you may then lose your official upgrade path as the codes no longer match as you do not have official firmware for your phone .
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS >> no sorry you are confused .
Official Kies and OTA upgrades are not part of XDA .
BASICS SGS3 I9300 International Only .

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and new to android world.
I have purchased unlocked Optus Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) from Australia and currenlty i am using it in India with Airtel. My mobile is installed with ICS 4.0.4.
I want Offical Jelly Bean firmware in my mobile.
Can i install Official Jelly Bean Rom released in SPAIN? Will it lock the the mobile after i install this ROM?
Or If i need to wait for Jellybean to realese in my region, Did i able to update Australian Version or Indian Version of Jellybean ROM or only the OPTUS version of ROM through Samsung Kies?
Please help me on this request.
Thanks,
Arun Panneerselvam
yes, you can install the jellybean from spain and no it will not lock your phone.
The choice is up to you. You try one of the custom roms on this site or wait for an official version through kies.
Updating kies may not happen this year because the roll out for jelly bean wil be uneven, no one knows what countries will get and when or if they will get jellybean at all.
Before installing you have to root your device,
then check and search on internet for your original rom (it could be useful if you need to send it to assistance in warranty)
If the phone is branded usually official updates came from carriers ,and often they need more time to release update after the unbranded is released since they want to put on it their customizations

What the devil are you talking about? You don't need to root in order to install the stock Samsung Jelly Bean firmware.
