Hey, if you want to make the ''most safest mode'' , wipe and etc... Then you should flash via odin the latest ICS Poland Unbranded XEO, then when you're go in the first configuration of software update you will get the Jelly Bean OTA. It's very easy.
Link for ICS POLAND : http://www.hotfile.com/dl/168356155/759deaa/I9300XXBLH1_I9300OXFBLH1_XEO.zip.html
OR you may want to flash the already available Poland Jelly Bean firmware, and a full wipe and factory reset is recommended. The link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/173577508/3316be3/I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_XEO.zip.html
Tell me the way you choose and if it worked fine. :fingers-crossed:

I would like to upgrade my SGS2 from the UAE CSC to the official Indian ICS version. Please help !!! I have already downloaded the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8.tar.md5 ICS for India. Do I do this directly with ODIN3 even though I have a different CSC ????????????????

"Should I flash the Stock Kernel XXLPQ thru Odin3 BEFORE I UPGRADE to the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 ????????"
Somebody please guide me thru this with the necessary steps or Links !!!!!
THANX IN ADVANCE !!!

Hey NDNESH !!! ODDLP7/DDLP8 !!!!!!!!! Has anyone tried it? There seems to be no queries on this so I assume that no one has tried it or there are no problems with it !!!
I really want to go for ICS.
1). Have I to ROOT it after this ?
2). My Kernel version is [email protected] #2. Is this compatible with the XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 that I am going for ??????
Please help as I am COMPLETELY NEW at this.
Hi,
Is there any way to upgrade the UAE firmware with official ICS India firmware through kies? I really want to know this as don't want to root or use ODIN for my phone.
NO
odin doesnt require root and its as official as KIES yet better than Kies...
Do you mean to say that after upgrading with ODIN I can still get firmware updates through KIES?

[Q] About Jelly Bean OTA

Hello guys
this is a question but i still didn't get the Jelly bean upgrade (OTA or Kies)
my current firmware version is PDA:LFB/PHONE:LFB/CSC:LF3 KSA
should i just wait?
I really appreciate your help
Thank you for your time and sorry for my English
It is scheduled for October....please wait until then if u r looking for an official one..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
But if you really wonder Jelly Bean, you can reach offical JB leaks (OTA and Full firmware packages) in SamMobile. Check the General section. You will find whatever you want. first of all you have to know what is CF-root, odin, recovery, CWM etc..
Sorry about my bad English too
Just wait for the official release .

[Q] S3: XXBLG8; Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies

Anyone else facing the same problem on this version? Any solutions ? Just removed the orange imm76d.i9300bvblg2 rom and installed the unbranded latest uk XXBLG8 rom which is now giving this error on kies. Used to work fine on the orange rom. Mobile is unrooted and stock rom is flashed.
I think that the leaks can't be upgraded by kies. you should install the latest JB rom using odin
I know the leaks can't be upgraded. I meant the official updates.
sorry, i thought it was LI8 (the last leak before poland official JB)
to upgrade, you would need to have the poland CSC, it can be changed *#272*your_IMEI#
then you have to select the poland CSC:XEO
first BACKUP in the external SD because doing this you would lose everything in the internal SD (including tithanium backups)
sorry for my english
Please read my post. Im not looking to go to JB as there is no UK version and its not fully stable. I have the latest XXBLG8 uk version and was looking at the official updates for this version. Thanks
you can not get official update because your product code does not maches your rom.
You have to stick with ODIN or Use orignal orange rom.

It was due to the csc being KOR. Once i changed this to BTU the problem was resolved. Even though the rom was a BTU rom in the first place. Thanks for your help anyway.

[Q] Installing JB 4.1.1 and Baseband Version + CSC

Hello guys!
I have Galaxy S3 I9300 GSMH.
It's unbranded, i made a research in the forum and it's supposed to be a factory unlocked phone. following the coment "But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)" by dr.ketan in http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1801022
My actual firmware installed is the UBBLG2. It's running ICS 4.0.4.
So, here is the thing, I need to know if I can stall any Official Firmware from Samsung with Jelly Bean 4.1.1.
1. What Official firmware should I install?
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4? Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Looking at these site and post we know the lastest firmware is I9300XXDLIB. Should I go with this one?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/
Last thing. OR should I wait for the 4.1.1 release to this baseband version I9300UBBLG2 ?
Take care guys and thanks for all your help.

So, here is the thing, I need to know if I can stall any Official Firmware from Samsung with Jelly Bean 4.1.1.
YES
1. What Official firmware should I install?
Only one JB official the Polish release .
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
If you want to or have network problems .
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4?
You can but why //
Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
No
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Yes no updates
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/

Thanks for your reply JJEgan
so to make a complete picture we got.
1. I can install JB 4.1.1 Official Firmware Polish Release.
2. I don't have to change the CSC. That must remain untouched.
3. Why will this affect future updates if it is a Official Firmware used on a Factory unlocked I9300? so I won't ever get updates for bug fixes and improvements? How will I handle that?
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3. Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband? being this a international factory unlocked.
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Thanks

You dont have to no must remain untouched .

Same way as you are now updating via XDA .
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3.
It is being rolled out .
Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband?
Baseband is nothing to do with firmware .
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best .
Or read and learn and flash stock rom from XDA ,

Thank again for your help, I don't want to bother you, but you make me feel confused.
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS ."
But you do not clarify Why this official firmware from Samsung does affect future updates. I mean the Reason. WHY?
And then you do not answers my question and just told me "Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best ." even when you said before "will not be released its ICS ."
If there is something else i should know please point me in the right direction, i just want to know and learn more to be sure before installing because it doesn't make sense installing JB if you wont ever get updates from Samsung or android for bug fixes and improvement updates.
Sorry if I'm bothering you, don't take it personal.
Repeat you need to read and learn .
Update path official via Kies or OTA OK .
No problem whenever the update is released for your phone you get it .
Alternative via XDA and flash stock rom on day of release no waiting or custom rom .
Example official JB you let us say six weeks wait .
XDA has stock JB released for Poland you can install that .
But you may then lose your official upgrade path as the codes no longer match as you do not have official firmware for your phone .
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS >> no sorry you are confused .
Official Kies and OTA upgrades are not part of XDA .
BASICS SGS3 I9300 International Only .

[Q] Help required for Noob!!!!

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and new to android world.
I have purchased unlocked Optus Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) from Australia and currenlty i am using it in India with Airtel. My mobile is installed with ICS 4.0.4.
I want Offical Jelly Bean firmware in my mobile.
Can i install Official Jelly Bean Rom released in SPAIN? Will it lock the the mobile after i install this ROM?
Or If i need to wait for Jellybean to realese in my region, Did i able to update Australian Version or Indian Version of Jellybean ROM or only the OPTUS version of ROM through Samsung Kies?
Please help me on this request.
Thanks,
Arun Panneerselvam
yes, you can install the jellybean from spain and no it will not lock your phone.
The choice is up to you. You try one of the custom roms on this site or wait for an official version through kies.
Updating kies may not happen this year because the roll out for jelly bean wil be uneven, no one knows what countries will get and when or if they will get jellybean at all.
Before installing you have to root your device,
then check and search on internet for your original rom (it could be useful if you need to send it to assistance in warranty)
If the phone is branded usually official updates came from carriers ,and often they need more time to release update after the unbranded is released since they want to put on it their customizations

What the devil are you talking about? You don't need to root in order to install the stock Samsung Jelly Bean firmware.
