I have an GT-i9300 SGS3 with South Africa firmware (XFE, AP=i9300xxale9, CP=i9300xxle8 CSC=i9300ojvale9), but I'm using it in the United States, on AT&T, and am not able to receive updates thru either Kies or Update menu. I will NOT be traveling outside the US anytime soon. What should I load that would let me receive updates here in the States OTA?

Look here in the US AT&T forum for your firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1705. You have to flash AT&T specific firmware to get updates.

No.
That is very bad advice.
He has the international model, as he clearly stated in the OP.
@OP: Flash anything with the CSC "BTU" its for Britain but its unbranded and gets updates first (usually)
You'll need to set up fast dormancy settings but there is a thread by ceo.mtcl all about that (he's using an international one on at&t too)

+1 to that.
You should have got I9100G. Return it ASAP, as I9100 are not covered by Indian Samsung care centers.

Not really. Mine does say I9100 but its actually an I9100T. Its because I flashed I9100 firmware. You can only be sure by checking under the battery.
To the OP, you've got no chance. Samsung as far as I know only honour invoices from official sellers / resellers etc. So buying off eBay or markets etc means no warranty.

Dude, by default all I9100 are known as "International version GS2" unless they are carrier locked or something. Its nothing to worry about.

They need all the other countries to find all the bugs so sammy can fix them and give us a good rom.

Or nearer the truth, they take a nice backhander from the networks so they can say that it's better to get your new phone with a contract with us then spend your money on a sim free phone...!

If you're really that bothered you would have flashed another region. Or even flashed O2 LP3, Which, if you use Intratechs version is as good as Unbranded.
I gave up waiting and put the Poland LPS on yesterday, works fine and has the UK (XEU) and CPW UK (CPW) csc's in it anyway.
Does seem like they have poo pood the early adopters. Eaten bread is soon forgoton.

I must admit, I was wondering the same thing.
I've got stock 2.3.4 phone, don't want to root really, just want to update to ICS but everytime I check it's not there. I'm confused I must admit as I thought it was being rolled out.
you dont need a sim free version, theres nothing wrong with the current leaks.
just install one of those and your good to go.
why not to root it?
much easier to use anything on it.
even my manager when he saw my rom and soft i got inside he gave me the phone and said: 'do the same with mine'
I've even unlocked his phone and he is very happy
in case you can always come back to original
Has anyone else got this yet? The sim free UK ICS that is?
I don't get it, am I doing something wrong, everytime I check it says no update yet

Why are you posting this message on here, this has been discussed many times and this is XDA, why not just flash yourself a ICS rom they work perfectly fine.
Samsung have said that sim free will get it after all carriers have started to push it out and not all of them have.

Hi - been searching the forum but cannot find a difintive answer.
Are the S3 from carriers unlocked, in particular Orange?
If not, is there any way of unlocking like we were able to do with S2?
Thanks and apologies if its been posted before.

They're usually not unlocked although I've had the odd one which was, the best thing to do is to use voodoo for galaxy s3 and it will simply unlock your device. Job done.

Can anyone tell me when will i receive the JB update..i live in Sri Lanka

Don't think you can get answer here. Any answer here is just rumour anyway. You should direct your question to Samsung India.

It will update when samsung devices it's the right time and rolls it to your region (you bought it from france, that means when france get's it).
If you are extremely inpatient, flash the half complete Polish official firmware, probably out to shut people's mouths and tell them to wait.
I would like to open this tread to report which modem is working well for you in your region and for provider.
I am in Spain + Orange. Device bought in Dubai, currently flashed XXKH3 and slight increase of the signal visible. Still testing, but it seems better than stock XXLQ5. After finding out which is the best, I will update this post.
Any suggestions about good XW (Spain) modem ?

Then you must not be searching very well. Anyway sammobile has a complete list of downloadable modems specifying what region they are intended for. There are a number for each region. Its just up to us to pick the one that works well for us.
