Hello All,
I recently got an international S3 from Newegg.ca. Of course i was eager to try out jelly bean so i did a backup before attempting to flash the JB rom. Unfortunately the backup was corrupted and i did not notice this until after i had already flashed JB onto my phone.
What i want to know is if anyone has a S3 from newegg, what build/baseband is it running? It should be a UK based firmware, but there are a number available for the region and none seem just right. If you have a s3 i9300 please respond with your firmware as it would help me out greatly.
Thanks!
Forgot to mention. I need to know your baseband only if you got your i9300 from newegg.ca or newegg.com

Hi guys, I'm looking for the stock ICS firmware for my Virgin Galaxy S2 (i9100/m).
Went into the thread with the collaboration of stock firmware but the downloads have been removed for both bell and virgin. Can someone point me to the right direction for the stock rom? Or any rom that's close to stock?
According to my copy of Checkfus, there is no official/stock ICS for I9100M/Bell Canada. If you're after a copy of Gingerbread firmware for this carrier/country, search Samfirmware.com
The last and likely only firmware for Bell/Virgin/Sasktel GT I9100Ms was UGKG2 (2.3.3), if you want ICS you'd be better served by downloading a european stock or custom ICS ROM as Bell has never expressed any interest in doing further updates for this phone.

As I said here, The Galaxy SII for Virgin Mobile in the US is NOT the i9100 or i9100M. It is the SPH-D710, otherwise known as the Epic 4G Touch. anyone looking for stuff for a Virgin Mobile US Galaxy SII is in the wrong forum.
Hi guys,
Can I know the stock firmware and region of my S3 by the IMEI and Serial number? I ask becuase i recently got a 2nd hand S3 and the person i got it from said that he already updated it with a jellybean version from poland.
I'm currently living in China, and from reading the forums, flashing with a new ROM will change the region of the phone based on the model number. I just want to know if its possible for me to know the exact stock information/region of my phone.
Thanks!

you could start with this one: http://androidfact.com/how-to-update-galaxy-s3-to-jelly-bean-411-official-version/ (I know it shows 4.1.1 but its the same process for any update if your phone is not rooted)
The "About" section in your settings will also show you the firmware version, hence the region the firmware was made for.

Flash stock rom via Odin after reading the basic faqs and guides all stickied in General section .

It is very normal, it has to be updating one at the time, consider there are millions S3 out there,. If all of them start to update at once, no server on the face of the earth can stand that much of downloading stress.
Well, maybe they using BT or other P2P way to downloading update, but who knows, besides as you can get here around XDA, I am sure you will be able to flash the lastest update yourself

Hi everyone, I got a international s3 or European I just know it's not from my carrier directly. My question is will I be getting software updates according to my carrier/country or will I be receiving the updates the time it comes out in Europe? I'm asking because I updated to 4.2.1 about 2 months earlier than my friend did and he bought it straight from Vodafone NZ
Official 4.2.1?
I think it depends on your Carrier
You will be getting updates when they come out in Europe. Updates are actually pushed through according to your phone CSC as you have an international unbranded phone unlike your friend's Vodafone branded unit.

oh darn it lol i reflashed stock with the Vodafone NZ 4.2.1 rom not the International UK rom.. can someone point out the steps to reflash stock rom if my s3 is already on stock rom? cheers
Oh by the way, is there any difference to the software updates between countries apart from them being released at different times? I was on International UK rom but I flashed NZ stock rom and now its seems im having quite a bit of battery problems, just wondering so I know whther to reflash international stock or leave it with NZ

I found heaps of guides but they only guide on how to go back stock from a custom rom. Im already on stock rom though and i want to revert back to international stock rom but NZ stock.
Soz im a noob, still new to this
it is no different
So which is true? Does software updates follow the carrier the phone is using (eg. Vodafone) or the region (eg UK/EU)??
