is your phone a GT-i9300 model? because the latest JB fw is for i9300 models

You won't get OTA updates.

Yep it's a GT I9300 but its working fine only thing ive noticed is the LED charging light is a lot dimmer than it was
Whats the difference between GT I9300 and I9300 ? Sorry for the stupid questions

There's no difference.As stated above you won't get the UK OTA updates when they do finally come out. But you can just flash the UK firmware later via Odin if you're so inclined.

GT-I9300 and I9300 are one and the same.. I just asked because there are variant firmwares. It is perfectly fine for you to flash the Polish JB, but you won't be getting any OTA from your Regions.

Stock UK Firmware - Does it Unlock?

Hi,
I will be receiving my Galaxy S3 on monday. Ive bought it through T-Mobile on contract, and it will be sim locked on arrival.
I need my phone unlocking so i can use multiple sims, that i have from european countries that i travel to.
I hate the carriers tweaks and am thinking of flashing some stock unbranded firmware to it....will this also unlock the phone to all networks?
The latest firmware i can find is:
I9300XXALF2 Download (Thanks To SamMobile!)
Base Firmware: I9300XXALF2 (4.0.4)
Region Europe
Country: United Kingdom
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 5 June 2012
Modem: XXLF2
CSC: OXALF2
Change List: 671647
This can be found in Faryaab's thread and also in Intratechs thread alson with a secure and an insecure kernel..... have yet to learn what a kernel is.
I have flashed and debranded HTC TyTn phones successfully before, and whilst im inexperienced, i am able to follow instructions and have not managed to brick any of my previous phones, so i should be ok. (excluding the Sony PSP.....i messed that up really bad!)
Thanks
Gaz
Anyone?
I'm new to this phone, only got mine yesterday, but I'm pretty sure that flashing a different ROM will not get rid of your simlock :-/
T-Mobile UK, mine came unbranded and unlocked.

[Q] Help in what firmware should I use for upgrading 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 in my S3.

Hi experts here.
I bought a S3 that has the following info.
AP : I9300XXALE9
CP : I9300XXLE8
CSC: I9300OJVALE9
Android OS : 4.0.4
Currently I lived in Philippines and want to upgrade my OS firmware from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2.
What will be the best region/firmware should I use with ODIN?
Will I still have signals from local cellphone provider here? (because someone told me that when I flashed this with US firmware, I will not gain anymore local phone signals here in the Philippines).
Please help.
Thank you in advance.
Just go to sammobile.com and download firmware accorfing to region you will have to signup for that its quite eady and simple.

Just an additional note.
Do not flash American firmware on your phone, you will most likely brick it.
Only flash i9300 firmware
Thanks Salahuddin91 and slaphead20, I'll try to download I9300 firmware for Philippine region. :victory:

The file you want will be here but if you have installed 4.3 you can't just go back to 4.0.4, you will corrupt your EFS file then you phone will really be useless unless you can restore all that as well, read up on downgrading and EFS issues in my signature, search the forum and General Section before you attempt this regarding downgrading from Android 4.3.

Wow thanks for the quick response guys:good:
Yip I think my EFS is corrupted.
My imei number has changed to : 004999010640000 .
I made a CWM Backup before I upgraded to 4.3
I will do more research.
