Anyone know if the 4.1 official stock firmware for the UK version is available yet? for the GT-I9300 (intl UK)
I am in need of making my phone look factory as my warranty needs a 30 day policy before it's active and I'm getting all the terms and conditions down, pat and locked before I screw up this phone.
If it's not available yet does anyone know where I can look, to find the PDA when it's available so I can flash it with Odin (I only know how to use Odin so preferably that) or is it recommended that I flash ICS then reset my binary and then update through Kies just so it looks more factory and if it's they can even tell that.
(XDA Noob here, sorry for these silly questions)

CHECKFUS is best other wise stock roms on XDA and sammobile .
Flash via Odin ,

I have an Unlocked Samsung Ace, which was locked to Optus Australia earlier.
pda s5830xwks9
phone s5830xwks2
csc s5830oppks5
network lock off
network subset lock off
sp lock off
cp lock off
I just don't Optus app everywhere and running in background. Can I use a Generic Firmware ?
If yes can someone guide me or just provide links ?
I even tried to Root it with <upd_1 & AceGingerRoot>, and I can see Superuser icon, but Titanium Back up and BusyBox says my phone is not rooted.
get stock roms from sampro.pl or sammobile and flash it using odin
GUIDE
My ace is optus lock too and cant get root access

Which ROM? Do I have to look for a specific ROM for my phone( according to PDA or CSC of my phone) or any one that is Gingerbread 2.3.4 or 2.3.5
get ddkq6 that is unbranded firmware and stable one [2.3.4]
Dear WiseMan Amit,
I am sorry to ask again, did u see read these stats *(pda s5830xwks9_phone s5830xwks2_csc s5830oppks5) of my phone before suggesting? I dont want a brick.
And after flashing that Rom, Will my phone update with Kies itself?
BTW what does this PDA PHONE and CSC mean? Shouldn't I choose a Rom according to them?
I am sorry again for bothering you. But .

i saw your version
flashing will not brick phone if you flash 5830 roms with proper instruction which you can get in some sticky
offcourse your phone will be updated through kies but you will have to wait for update for that specific region [in this case india if ddkq6]
all GB roms on sammobile are flashable for you...
PDA CSC stuffs give you info about region , specific identifier for update etc stuff
i was also very much concerned when first flash phone with odin... read instuctions carefully and flash device specific roms only
you might not be able to get updates through kies as samsung delays updates between regions.. so most of guys flash through odin itself
Thanx really a lot mate.
but I could only find DDKQ5. not 6
And as I am not able to root my phone, how do I back up my current Rom?
I couldnt resist and flashed S5830XWKS9_S5830XWKS2_S5830VGFKS1_HOME.tar.md5
Everything working but I have got Virgin Mobile shortcuts and Jeux game. Cant uninstall it.

It's available if you SEARCH in this forum
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
I was tempted to flash Russian 2.3.6 and I did it successfully. Cleared cache and factory reset and now even Kies accepts it and will update when available.
It is far better. I have lots of Ram available now.
As the title says. Why is it that I cannot see my phones version on Kies? I thought by flashing the courier branded rom I would have my phone reset to how it was when I had just got it? If I'm not doing something or doing something wrong please tell me. Official ICS is due to release soon, and all the versions I have tried through the roms on these boards are not 100% stable, so I would like to have my phone back to how it was.
Best to ask in intratechs thread??
Will help him if you give some details like your device model, carrier firmware version and what steps you have taken when you flashed.
I recommend you stay with Odin and give kies the flick.
Use checkfus app from market to see if there are any firmware updates and then download from intratech and flash with Odin.
Good luck.

I downloaded the new firmware via OTA on my rotted phone, and it didn't install. I re-rooted it with CF-Root 6.3, but now If I check for software update it says "no update available." The build though is still the old I9300XXALE8 instead of ALF6, so I guess it isn't updated.
Is the updated firmware file saved somewhere, and if yes can I install it via CWM?
What else can I do?
Thanks
Jay
umm you could try sammobile or this link to go directly to sgs3 european official roms
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9300&r=1#regiona
and flash it using odin/mobile odin. Mobile odin would probably be better as you can keep root when u flash it
We have a stock rom post look there first .

I'm assuming that you are refering to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
However, I have similar questions as the original poster.
I have CF-Root rooted stock firmware (Sweden, unbranded) and would like to update to the latest available (OTA failed). I know that I can download from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com, but I have no idea which one to use.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9300&r=1
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300
What has to match? CSC, Country/Carrier? Please enlighten me.
Well I'm new to the galaxy series so I couldn't be 100% sure about what you need to match to be sure you get right one. But I do know if you've used cf root you can still connect to kies, you could connect and either check firmware upgrade version then download that vers from one of the sites or update your phone with kies then type *#1234# in the dialler then using that info download that vers of the firmware to have in the future.
If you do go kies option you'll most likely need to cf root once upgraded and I can't be 100% sure it'll work as I updated my phone with kies before rooting but I know cf root doesn't change anything major so kies should still be able to upgrade.

I'm trying to avoid using Kies. Don't want to install it even. Still "download from one of the sites" is not too assuring. How do I know what sites to trust?
Also, my question was rather does me download have to match entirely or is it enough with the same region?
E.g. one of the links above has the Italian LF6 as latest version. Can I use that?

well i use sammobile as its the one quoted in the cf root post under the uninstall instructions, I didnt know about samsung-updates till today. Well u could just install kies to see what firmware code its showing as the upgrade then uninstall. Im just checking sammobile at mo for ya
edit:- when u type *#1234# into your keypad whats the 3 codes it spits out?
I checked the sites out and it seems only the full roms are available. Actually I'd prefer just to flash the firmware so that I don't loose all my apps and settings. Or is there a way around this? I realise it's a lame question, but I'm new...
Here is the result of *#1234#
AP: I9300XXALE8
CP: I9300DXLE8
CSC: I9300LBALE5
Thanks for the help

Yeah there orig samsung roms(firmwares), trick is to get the one for your country/region
Ok , if your sure the updated firmware should be a ALF6 version theres only 2 on sammobile
1. Germany unbranded
2. Italy
Wheres about are u from?
Have you tried the kies update method i mentioned earlier?
Kies is samsungs official software for managing your samsung android device it can sync contacts, backup data etc etc but also to update official firmware.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
I have it installed but not using it for backups etc just for when firmware updates are available.
Youve used cf root so the kies method should work ok but youll just need to reroot afterwards.
After several attempts, I managed to use Kies... I had to use a different USB port and it worked.
Thanks a lot!
I have bought a brand new galaxy s 2 (GT-I9100G). It's currently on GB firmware I9100GXXLB1 from XEF france region as this was bought in france. I want to update to Jelly Bean. I have installed the latest version of kies and got everything set up. But,when downloading the firmware update, kies is giving me extremely slow download speeds(3mbps connection here) that's going to take forever to download JB. So, I want to flash it manually using odin 3.07 as other firmware hosting sites gives normal download speeds.I have downloaded odin and want to install the following firmware.
So, can I upgrade directly from GB to JB without any problems? Do I need any special .pit or procedure while upgrading or I can flash normally using it?
Please reply..

No special requirements, that's assuming you know what you're doing with Odin (fair assumption given your post count?)
Actually,this is my first time using odin. I have never used samsung devices before. I have done a lot of reading before posting this thread just to be extra clear.
If no special requirements are needed,will I have any problems upgrading directly? Also, have I chosen the correct firmware for my GT-I9100G?

As the above poster said no problem in direct jumping from gb stock to jb stock, and you don't need to touch the pit files, but sometimes(very rarely) a bootloop can occur, so in such a case just performing a factory reset from the stock recovery would fix that.

Unfortunately I'm not going to comment on whether you've chosen the correct firmware. I don't own a I9100G, so have no experience choosing a firmware for it. As long as it's definitely an I9100G (as opposed to international I9100) firmware you'll be fine

According to the filename it seems to be i9100g firmware, if it's from a trusted source then it's safe for the i9100g.

Ok guys here's the deal, last year I rooted my friend's s3 (international, india, i9300) because there was no available update to android, so I flashed purelook HD 8.0 (android version 4.1.2), now he is saying that his phone has become very slow so he wants to go back to stock
so I downloaded "INU-I9300XWUGML4-20140107141249.zip" but after downloading this I saw that it is for android 4.3 (new official update).
So my question is should I directly flash this in ODIN (android 4.3) or I should download older official update before flashing new update?
If it's a full, multi part stock rom then it wouldn't be a zip. Odin can't flash zips.
Suggest you read the basics in general forum, sticky threads, before you do anything else.

yeah I know odin doesn't flash zip's, I quoted the file name just for reference as there were two firmwares updates available for india, one INS another INU on doing some searches I came to know that they are locked and unlocked updates, kinda same, you can download any one.
is there any number I should match before downloading...we do not have contract phones in india, just retail so I was confused therefore I downloaded the unlocked one
back to the point, I know that I have to extract it first, there is a file inside it, named "I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_I9300DDUGMK1_HOME.tar.md5"
so maybe now you can help me out, whether should I flash it or download an earlier version and flash it prior to flashing this one...
So my question is should I directly flash this in ODIN (android 4.3) or I should download older official update before flashing new update?
Its your choice but as said read and understand the basics first .

Well I know how to flash roms/firmwares via ODIN, I know I have to check my counter too if it is not zero than I will have to reset it
so is there anything else?
I'm just asking this because I don't know much about s3 but I had note and I remember it had some issues regarding upgrading to a ice-cream sandwich version, something related to 'safe kernel' many other things...
and even I tried searching for basics, I didn't find anything else other than this and if there is something I am still missing then please kindly link me to it or just answer the question, IS IT SAFE or not?

first of all - reset the counter, app triangle away
then - install stock recovery, already downloaded
finally - flash stock rom, already downloaded
I know about the modem, efs back up and everything, all I am asking is, is it safe to directly upgrade from a third party 4.1.2 rom to stock 4.3 rom, I hope you understand my question this time... :angel:
