My question is when the official update is released by Samsung would it be wise to do a factory reset? I hear with people flashing their phones with the latest roms leaked who encounter problems being told to factory wipe/Reset. All I have done is flashed the latest firmware when it gets released by Sam mobile. So would it be wise for me to do so or not and why do others who flash their phones with latest roms do so?

Cool cheers. Actually I should still get the OTA update even though I've flashed my own none carrier firmware shouldn't I? It's not going to not work for whatever reason and I'm left wondering where my update is?!

If it's an official firmware from Samsung, you should get OTA updates. Even if it's not the firmware your S3 has been delivered with.

This isn't authentic by any means. The Bangladesh firmware is modified to an Indian one

Thanx guys for the replies.

Hello Mr.impatient
Indian official ICS will be released this week in Kies.So just wait 1-2 more days.
I will not comment about that Indian ICS which is already here in some thread.
Indian official ICS release will not come through OTA.
It will be only through Kies.

I am just a little skeptic about using Odin (scared rather). And now that I'm on 2.3.6, zergRush exploit doesn't work due to which I'm unable to root. Hence waiting for the update through Kies.

Odin is safer than Kies in my opinion.
You can TRY the "memory crash" method when using zergRush. Just open a ton of apps and exit using the Home button instead of Back to fill up as much memory as possible (at least over 500 mb used), then use zergRush.
I don't know if it will work for you or not, but it's worth a shot.
If not, just flash a kernel that roots for you, like CF-Root or Siyah.
How the hell does it matter when you get the update.
Its the same Samsung ****!
Id say stay on GB or use CM9!
But then again thats what i think.
Hello. I'm a spanish Galaxy s2 user. Since I learn to change Roms whith Odin, I've tried several Roms, all of them official. Now I'd like someone to tell me how to update using Kies again. I mean, if I'm using a 4.0.3 official Rom and I want to update to 4.1 official in september-october, what should I do to do update through Kies again?
I think that I have to use a 4.0.3 official spanish Rom, but I'm not sure.​Thank you so much.
You need to use stock rom from your carrier.

Well when it gets released you can download it from WWW.sammobile.com. or you can revert back to GB with your stock firmware and wait for the ota update nearer to when its going to be released.
Have you considered shooting and updating to a jb rom now? Rootbox is stable and amazing. I would recommend it

My carrier is Vodafone Spain but my phone is unlocked since its birthday.
I thought I could update from 4.0.3 insteadof 2.3...
Thanks anyway.
I rooted my Galaxy S3 the other day with the intention of installing one of the JB rom's out there. I thought as my S3 was not locked that the official JB update would be a little way off yet. Yesterday I find the official JB being pushed to my phone. It went through the update process and then said it could not update because my phone had been modified. I checked the rom version and it is now 4.1.1 so it seems to have actually updated everything apart from the interface which is still ICS.
Is there a way to get around this? If I do a factory reset will that wipe the root? Or can I do something to hide the root from the update?
All advice much appreciated.

Thanks for that. didn't realise the interfaces were the same. Was expecting a bit of a facelift but then I guess it's what's under the hood that counts.
It did say it couldn't update the software because the phone was modified so I am wondering what, if anything I am missing.
One thing I did notice pretty much straight away was the battery seems to be running down quicker. Could be my imagination of course but I will test it over the next few days to be certain.
flash any stock Rom and change csc

Rooting will not stop you from updating OTA through KIES. It wont update through direct OTA.
Update via Kies or download the DLJ4 and flash with odin.You will have the same result

Hello guys
How are you doing?
I hope everyone is doing well.
I have Samsung Galaxy S III international GT-I9300 running ROM with BB version of I9300XXLFB.
Samsung has released JB updates to almost all Levant region countries except for the LF3 CSC (KSA version). I don't know why Samsung is so lazy in terms of their system updates and customer service.
Anyway, I decided to manually update to JB of another Levant country (UAE).
When I had my device rooted before, the device status changed from "Normal" to "Modified", even after unrooting and flashing the stock ROM. I needed to fully go to stock by wiping my data and using TriangleAway in order to reset it back to normal. My device now is unrooted and running stock ROM and having the device status in "Normal" mode.
My question is: if I flash the ROM using Odin and choose "F. Reset Time" in it, will the device status change to "modified"? Will that affect automatic OTA future updates?
Depends if your flashing a Samsung ROM or unofficial kernel etc

Yes, it is an official stock JB ROM by Samsung but for another country. It is a ROM provided by SamMobile.com, and it supports Kies.
Then it should be fine buddy

Hello, I would like to ask something.
I knew that recently Samsung has released 4.3 update for Samsung Galaxy SIII International Version. The 4.3 update hasn't reach my country yet. I would like to know is it possible for me to flash another country's official frimware? Is there any negative effects?
Meanwhile, if I flash the latest stock rom back to my phone, will it be unrooted?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes, you can flash a rom from another country -which includes a modem for another country. If the modem is unsuitable you will lose signal strength or even all connection.
Of course if you flash an unrooted stock rom then your phone will be unrooted, that's the whole point.
Unless you are confident in flashing modems and kernels I would not advise using 4.3 yet -it isn't reliable unless you can replace both.
Thanks for the quick reply
In that case, is it possible to flash just the ROM without the modem/baseband? (SamMobile ROMs come with seperate PDA, Modem)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If your current baseband is EMGx or later then yes, you can flash just the rom.
Alright.
Thanks for your help
