Hi Guys and Girls,
Complete noob here, so forgive me if its been covered numerous times, tried searching for the answer but i'm not sure what exactly to look for.
first off, when i saw cyanogenmod release their stable 9.1, i got really excited and decided to flash it. Unfortunately in my excitement, i forgot the most important bit... rooting my phone... my version is an unbranded i9100 bought in Australia. I don't remember what the initial version was, but i did update it via kies to ICS, not sure which exact version it was but i think it was I9100XWLP8.
So I followed the steps to unbrick it from cnet uk.
Everything loaded normally, but when I switch it on, the phone goes into the boot screen and stays there. I don't know what to do next. Can someone shed some light?
desperate to get my phone working again, at least its not a hard brick, only a soft brick.

9.
Click on the Start button in Odin to start flashing the firmware to your phone.
After the flashing completes, your phone will automatically reboot. You should be able to get a “PASS†message on
the top left part of Odin.
NOTE: If you get a FAIL message or Odin gets stuck, disconnect your phone from the PC and close Odin. Remove the
battery from your phone, re-insert it, and place your phone into Download Mode again. Open Odin and do the procedure
starting from step 6.
Once you see the Samsung logo on your phone’s screen, you can safely disconnect your phone from the PC.
Hope this helps!

The tutorial is simplles: Programs
needed for the upgrade:
I can not post links because I am a new user, but researches on google!

firmware 2.3.5
Link: look on google: YP-G70_XET_G70XXKPF
or
firmware 2.2.2
link: look on google: G70XXKD6
1. Unzip the downloaded file
2. Place the apparatus in Download mode (press the lock button + volume down + Home at the same time)
3. Open Odin
4. Click PDA and add the new firmware file in the case the file .md5
5. Connect the USB phone in and wait for the Odin recognize
6. Click Start and wait
7. Ready!
Procedure at your own risk!
Thanks for the information. Samsung is damn slow in releasing updates in all countries..

Thanks very much bro, it is DONE!!!
I followed your instructions and now the firmware version is updated! Not had time yet to see what's new but does seem faster for usual interaction..
See picture below! Forgive crappy quality as taken from my phone in a hurry..
BTW the password is not what you gave, it is ******.pl you can google for the correct password as I am not sure if I am supposed to post it here..
thanks, very helpful.
works like a charm.
i take it this is not for the USA YP-70
if not then you had better state it before someone screws up their usa model.
Most regions should by now have access to the official 2.3.5 update.
If you're like me just got your device and you had it delivered with 2.2.2. Check kies. There might be an update available.
1. Download kies from samsungs website.
2. Press menu->Settings ->Wireless & Network ->USB-settings ->Check: Samsung Kies.
3. Press menu->Settings -> Apps -> Develop -> Unckeck: USB.
4. Start kies on the pc
5. Connect the usb cable.. and relax for a bit and wait and see what kies says.
For anyone wondering, i bought my device in sweden and it was delivered with:
2.2.2
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
FROYO.XXKG1
After kies update:
2.3.5
2.6.35.7-G70XXKPE-CL562492
[email protected] #1
GINGERBREAD.XXKPE
Here in Brazil has not updated the kies, so I do the same as Odin is not the official one.
radx you can backup your firmware and make available for download?
Sorry I dont know how to do that.
I believe there is an option in Odin before you flash a rom look otherwise a "dump" or backup button. Always a good idea before flashing any thing. It allows you back to a factory returnable state.

You could flash rjs kernel in Odin and that would install ClockworkMod. From there you can do a nandroid backup. Well i think that's how it works.

Hello guys.
I recently bought the Galaxy Note i717 locked to Rogers (Canada).
The seller told me that he has installed custom rom on the device. I thought it would not be problem but it seems like my phone is kind of laggy compared to others'.
I tried to connect KIES to install the original ICS firmware but my mac does not recognize my note.
The message on KIES when I connect USB cable is that ' device not responding '.
I tried turning on/off the phone and USB debugging mode.
I haven't back up my phone as I could not get it connected with computer.
My phone is samsung sgh i717
Android Version is 4.0.4
Broadband version is i717UCLE2
Kernel Version is
3.0.9-perf-I717UCLE2-CL526350

Build number is IMM76D.UCLE2
Please let me know how I can upgrade to normal ICS without losing data..
I am really stuck and new to Android System. (therefore I am a noob)

Install CWM Recovery and you can install any of the custom roms. All you have to do is install CWM and put the downloaded rom on your SD Card and install it with CWM. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431 and download the one that says ODIN in the first post then read the instructions to flash CWM Recovery with ODIN in post two on the page link above. Now you can flash roms without needing your computer. Now you can head over to to the development area for the I717 Note and pick a rom to flash with CWM. make sure you read the instructions for each rom cause it will tell you to do a full wipe on most and you do that inside CWM. Another tip is that you will never ever need KIES and the only use for it is having the Samsung driver that get installed with it so your PC will sync with your device. KIES is kinda useless.
EDIT: you probably already have CWM installed. Before going and tryin to install it hold down the power and volume up volume down at the same time and the device will shut off but keep holding down those three buttons. Now the device will vibrate and the Samsung logo will appear, let go of the power button but keep the volume buttons pressed in and CWM should pop up after a few seconds. If you have CWM already installed do not flash it again just find a rom and flash it through CWM like I stated above. In CWM the volume buttons move you up and down the list and the power selects.

Go to this thread for a quick tutorial on flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586223
There is no "original" ICS firmware for i717. As of yet no i717 ICS firmware have been released by carriers, save for the unofficial leaks, which you seem to have.
If you want to go back to stock firmware of Rogers, make sure to do a factory reset in CWM and then flash a stock GB ROM. The other choice is to wait for the official ICS release from Rogers (which I hear is coming this month) and then flash that when it comes out.
Otherwise, search for stock i717R GB firmware on the forums, put it in SD card and then flash it using CWM.
If you don't want to lose your data you could try using Titanium Backup from the play store to backup your apps and data, flash your firmware, and then download titanium backup from the play store again on your new firmware and use the restore function (if you are flashing a stock rom, you need to root first before using the restore function). Don't know how well that would work though, never tried it myself.
hello guys I bought my first android fone, S3,
it was preinstalled with 4.1.1 version I updated to 4.1.2 using kies but it only changed the version, I was hoping it would format everything and would start my s3 from brand new stage but it didn't, I want to know how can I install 4.1.2 thru pc and it installs the rom from scratch and s3 should boot like its out of box.
kindly tell me step by step which files I need and how to do it.
and like I said im new to android so I have no idea what to search in this forum.
thanks.
***NOTICE***
Before doing this do a back up in the recovery menu, search Xda if you aren't sure how. I'm not liable for any bricked, whether soft or hard, devices. Only use your DEVICE SPECIFIC ROMs and/or Kernels.
***NOTICE***
First off, Google Odin, download and install it and download and install your phones drivers to your computer, search on the forum for the KERNEL SPECIFIC Stock ROM for your S3, there are TUTs on Xda here on how to find out which one is for you, now, once you have the ROM downloaded normally its in .zip format, run Odin as administrator, right click it and select run as administrator, now, plug your phone into your computer and put it into download mode, Volume +/- and power at the same time until you see a yellow triangle, now press the Volume + button to continue, after that look in Odin to make sure you have the yellow COM number, you'll know if you have it, its highlighted yellow and says "COM:4" the number doesn't matter and may be different, if you don't have the COM number then re-install your phone drivers, now, open the Stock ROM .zip file and extract it to your desktop, open Odin and click PDA,now select the .tar file for the Stock ROM and press start and Wa-La, your phone should re-boot in approximately 10 seconds if all goes well.
Hope this helps.

No update for me - i9300 - anyone know anything about this or is it pants?
http://www.sidhtech.com/news/official-samsung-galaxy-s3-android-422-update/10013439/
I realise that the article goes on to discuss 4.1.2 - which is dated June - yet the first part is under the date of 15/07/2013 - i.e. today.
No brother.. Title of site and details are different in its body
Official Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.2.2
Update Rolls Out The Backdoor
Posted by Travis Williams
If you are an owner of the Samsung Galaxy S3 with
model number GT-i9305 you will be happy to hear that
OTA updates are being sent out by Vodafone in Spain.
Owners of the handset are able to download it through
KIES and if you are in the UK you are able to download
the update and then install it manually.
The update does not come with any extras, such as
ClockworkMod and you don’t have to have anything
installed as the update takes place with the ODIN tool.
Check out the instructions below, but you take
responsibility for updating your handset.
Android 4.1.2 XXBME3 Jelly Bean Firmware Details
PDA: I9305XXBME3
CSC: I9305ATLBME2
Version: 4.1.2
Date: June, 2013
Pre-Requisites
Take note that the XXBME3 firmware along with the
instructions are only for the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-
i9305 version. You should check the model number of
your device in Settings – About phone.
Before undertaking the update you will have to back-up
your settings and data to avoid losing it.
Make sure that the handset is not locked to any carrier
and that the boot loader has been unlocked.
You should also check that you have the USB drivers
installed on the computer.
Make sure that you have USB debugging enabled, you
can go into Settings – Developer Options on Android 4.0
or if you have Android 2.3, you can find this in Settings –
Applications – Development. If you have Jelly Bean 4.2
you will need to go into Settings – About Phone, choose
build number and then tap on this seven times to reveal
the hidden Developer options in Settings.
You should then out a tick in the check box under USB
debugging mode in Settings – Developer options.
You should have around 80% charge in the battery to
make sure the handset does not switch off.
How to Install Official Android 4.1.2 XXBME3 Jelly Bean
OTA on Galaxy S3 GT-I9305
Step 1: Extract the firmware zip file to the desktop to get
a .tar.md5 file and some other files (optional).
Step 2: Extract Odin zip file to obtain Odin3 v3.07.exe
along with few other files.
Step 3: Power off the phone and wait for vibration (about
5-6 seconds) to confirm complete device shutdown.
Now boot the phone into Download Mode by pressing
and holding Volume Down, Home and Power button
together until a construction Android robot icon with a
triangle appears on screen. Then hit Volume Up button
to enter Download Mode.
Step 4: Launch Odin3 v3.07.exe that you obtained in
Step 2 as an Administrator, as Admin privileges are
required to complete the firmware installation process
smoothly.
Step 5: Connect your phone to computer via USB cable.
When the device connects successfully, a message
saying “Added!” appears in ODIN and the ID: COM box
will turn yellow with the corresponding COM port
number. If the message fails to appear, try reinstalling
the phone’s USB drivers or changing the port on the
computer.
Step 6: Choose the following files from the extracted
I9305XXBME3 folder that you obtained in Step 1 by
using respective checkboxes:
Select the PDA checkbox, and click the ‘.tar.md5′ file
Tap the Phone checkbox, and select the file named
‘modem’ (ignore if such file is not found)
Choose the CSC checkbox, and click the file named
‘CSC’ (ignore if there is no such file)
Click the PIT checkbox, and choose the ‘.pit’ file (ignore
if the file is missing)
Step 7: In Odin, enable Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time
options by selecting the checkboxes. But the Re-
Partition checkbox must be selected only if a .pit file
was chosen in the previous step in ODIN.
Step 8: To prevent ROM related errors, verify Step 6 and
Step 7 are done correctly. Then hit the START button to
begin flashing the firmware.
Step 9: Once the firmware installation is complete, the
phone will reboot automatically and soon a PASS
message with green background appears in the left-
most box at the very top of Odin. Now it is safe to
unplug the USB cable to disconnect the device from
computer.
The Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 is now running on the latest
Android 4.1.2 XXBME3 Jelly Bean OTA firmware. Go to
Settings > About Phone to verify the firmware installed.
Troubleshooting:
If the Samsung Galaxy S3 is stuck at boot animation or
Samsung logo after Step 9, then go to recovery mode
(press and hold the Volume Up, Home and Power
buttons together) and perform Wipe data/Factory Reset
as well as Wipe Cache Partition before choosing reboot
system now option. NOTE: Use Volume keys to navigate
between options and Power key to select an option in
recovery. Performing data wipe task will only erase your
phone’s internal memory and not the data on SD card.

?????????? why article says 4.2.2
ONLY THING TODAY IS KIES UPDATE
Don't think it's pants, just a 4.1.2 update for Spain for the i9305.
Rumour has it the i9300 4.2.2 is due sny day, but how many times have we heard that?
Still, fingers crossed. ....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
So just a typo on the article header?
Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up (mine included!)
Guess it was to much to expect 4.2.2 on the same day my One received the same!
Fake
reasons 4.2.2 but post says 4.1.2
Samsung rolling out but you need Odin
Post says use PIT and tick Repartition
Needs developer mode on
Unlocked boot loader
bet a few end up with a brick .

Load of crap probably. Warning signs all over it, including in the title:

Dont trust anyone except @Faryaab
I purchased an AT&T Note 1 or i717. It currently has version 4.0.4 on it and would like to get the most recent (AND STABLE) version I can. A basic stock android would be fine, doesn't need to be a rocking mod or anything like that, just something that won't crash every day and where everything works.
Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? I did the search function but couldn't find out where to begin. Thanks for all who are able to assist me

Kies will get you the latest firmware available for your device.
1. On a PC open http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
2. Click Download for windows
3. Install Kies
4. Open Kies
5. Write down serial number of phone device (it's under battery)
6. Plug in phone to PC and power up phone while HOLDING volume down
7. Once you see the download screen on phone press volume up
8. On PC in Kies click "tools - Firmware Upgrade and Initialization"
9. Type in SGH-I717 (all caps)
10. Type in serial number
11. Follow directions
12. Once phone reboots you will have the latest OFFICIAL firmware (JB 4.1.2 as of 6-1-2013)
13. Perform a factory data reset before proceeding (it helps it run smoother)
14. Type in google info and enjoy!
Why not use the built-in OS update? Waaay better than Kies.
Just go to settings> phone> check for update. No PC needed.

I thought upgrading to 4.1.2 was ONLY available via Kies? (we are talking stock upgrade, not custom)
(or Odin I guess, if you download the flashable file)
The current stock at&t rom is 4.1.2 and it is delivered OTA through update menu.
Even though its an AT&T phone, I had it factory unlocked. Currently using in on a T-Mobile service. Gonna have to try the Kies method I guess.

Damn. Here in Canada (or at least in BC), its only available via Kies. GB -> ICS was OTA, but ICS -> JB isn't. At least on Bell its not.
Sorry if I stepped in where I shouldn't.
That's good information about Canadian carriers not offering OTA upgrades. Lucky for this amigo he's at&t so he can get up to date OTA.

Ok, having issues here. I've done 1-6 when I do #7, Kies makes a noise, like its trying to connect to the phone, goes to another screen for just a a second, looks like a cable attaching to a phone, then goes back to splash screen. Tried several usb ports, different cables, even Kies' troubleshooting guide where it reinstalls the driver. Still the same thing. Any suggestions?
You can try this method:

I have the same .tar file, but built for Bell here in Canada.
I flash it through odin, then flash TWRP. Then I flash my bell modem, flash counter reset file, then re-flash stock recover. Then I use OTA to get to ICS, then Kies to get to JB.
I can write more specific instructions for what 'I' do, if that might help. I can also try to track down files for ATT (not bell) when I get a bit of free time. Hope that helps you get closer to the end you are wanting!
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, sure. I can't figure out the next step. I'm considering just selling it and buying something new with JB already in it, lol.
Has anyone experienced the same issues or am I just the special one
Is it the stock 4.0.4 on the phone now? Then, you should be able to just upgrade to stock 4.1.2.
I was never on stock, so I don't know if the update can be done via OTA, but you should be able to use Kies on your computer to update it. At the very least, you will have JB even with the stock bloat.
