If you would like to make unrooting , and you are interested in the Turkish language and english , download firmware here ; http://www.hotfile.com/dl/167719476/9ea79b8/I9300XXBLFB_I9300OJVBLF3_TUN.zip.html (Country/Carrier TUNISIA )
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/163063926/4b056f2/I9300XXBLFB_I9300OJVBLF3_EGY.zip.html (Country/Carrier Egypt )
Flash with ODIN...
Alternatively install the latest firmware and use this application to change the language https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDMsImpwLmNvLmNfbGlzLmNjbC5tb3JlbG9jYWxlIl0

thanks for replying.. seems legit
but i wanna ask since that corresponds to egypt and tunis will my lebanese sim card work on it? or do i need to do something after installing the firmware to make my sim card supported?

All roms support all devices.
If you are interested you can flash the one for China or Mexico.
from the looks of it you don't have any special country-optimized rom installed anyway

[Q] Where to find latest original COMCEL Colombia firmware?

I actually have this setup after flashing and rooted XXKI4 (intratech tread), every things ok but my Product Code change from "COM" to KOR".
PDA: I9100UHKH3
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100COMKH1
Build Info: Thu Aug 25 11:42:14 KST 2011
ROOTED: YES I9100XXKH3
Android Version: 2.3.4
Then I Restore in Recovery Mode a original firmware's full Backup I made before flash (Product Code return to COM), thinking Kies recognize it as original upgradable but don't.
Now I need flashing with the original firmware (Colombia Comcel "COM")
Thanks for your help...

Here you can find the links, but some of them are dead. You need to ask Intratech to post new link for yours.
If you're after the original firmware that came with your phone, you're probably out of luck. However, you can get the latest firmware available for your phone/carrier/country using an app called Checkfus. Search for it on here.

Where to find original firmware?

Hi
Where can I find original firmware downloads for the S3? I always used SamMobile.com on my Galaxy S but I'm not getting the latest ALF2 showing on the list. I updated to ALF2 through KIES the other day but I like to know I can flash through ODIN in the future if need be.
Thanks

I have purchased a new SIII for my wife but it has a Vodafone-modified/branded ROM on it. I have been trying to figure out which ROM I should use to get a stock ROM on the SIII (like I did for my SII), but I get lost in the alphabet soup. Which stock ROM can I use here in Australia?

I got no idea how all this rooting stuff works. Im trying to learn but I can get my head around it. So sorry if any of my questions seem stupid. Thanks for all your help in advance.
No need rooting to flash.
And yes you can flash Telstra firmware on Voda model, they are the same hardwares.
You need Odin 3.04 and need samsung usb driver or if you already have it working with Kies, then no worries about driver.
Here I copied the general instruction from the UK thread:
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Launch Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
Thanks mate. Am downloading the firmware now. Its gonna take 2 hours to download.
Am I meant to change any of the options in Odin3?
Thanks again.
Now that I have flashed my galaxy s3 successfully.
I keep getting the message "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped"
Does anyone know what this is or can direct me into the right place? Ive done a factory reset as another thread recommended but didnt work.
Thanks

[Q] My phone has a special build?!

Hey there,
After 2 years I've decided to root my SGS2, Ive been through flashing with nokia's and that kind of things. However, Im a total NOOB in android rooting.
My problem is the following:
I've updated my phone to ICS 4.0.4 (biggest mistake of my life).
Now I've searched everywhere to find a root manual for my Firmware-version, but I keep coming up with german sites (I'm Dutch).
Google translate does its work like a piece of sh**, so I've lost all of my faith.
After some crappy translating, I read something about a hard-brick of this firmware.
My question is: Wich version is safe to root on my phone?!
Info about my phone:
Carrier: T-mobile
Model: GT-I9100 (ofcourse)
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9100BOLP7
Kernel version: 3.0.15-1056084 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 24 17:36:36 KST 2012
Build number: IMM76D.BOLPM
I hope my question isn't a dumb one, if so, I'm sorry!

Flashing Siyah will also root your phone. Just make sure you use the correct version of Siyah for your model and version of Android.
You do not need to root your phone to flash Siyah kernel.
When you flash Siyah you will get root. Here's what you do:
#download siyah kernel
#Boot phone to download mode
#Open Odin and connect phone
#put siyah kernel .Tar file in PDA section of Odin.
#click start.
It is extremely difficult to brick your phone flashing a kernel in Odin.
Good luck
