I need some help. I'm trying to go back to stock on my GS3. It is unbranded and I flashed this ROM: United Kingdom 2012 August 4.0.4 I9300XXBLG8 I9300OXABLG8
Whenever I connect to Kies it says that this device firmware is not upgradeable through Kies. Then I put this code in my dialer, *2767*4387264636# to check the product code and nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong here? FYI, this device was bought from someone who was given this device when they were sent to the olympics as a Samsung blogger.
Thanks for any help that y'all can provide.
I am a newbie to ..
But i think just download the stock rom for s3 on update.samsung.c*m or so ..
Find your regional ..
And download odin for window / mac
Just flash it ..
And wipe cache and factory reset
I think just those.. i do it once and succses .. lol

I thought so. I'm not really wanting to update to another firmware per se. The message in Kies is throwing me off. When I google the message I find most of the info says that the product code and rom do not match.

Two points really Kies may have no update and product codes may not match firmware on the server . Thats due to you changing them in part .
This is XDA and kies is not a product we use .

JB hasnt been released for UK afaik, so the message.

Thanks, I know that Kies is crap software but I was just trying to get everything completely stock since I'm thinking of selling it. Is there anyway to get the product code to match the firmware?

So I got this phone from eBay, marked as new. Works great. But now I have acouple questions.
1) My firmware right now is XXKDH. Is there a firmware update for the phone through Kies? Everytime I connect it, on the status screen it leaves the "Current Firmware" field blank.
2) Upon activating the Samsung keypad, and turning on the XT9 function, I found the XT9 suggestions to be empty. Is there some way to fill in all the auto suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

That could be it, as I am using the international version/UK version of this phone in the US on AT&T.
Here is what happens when I do plug in the phone to Kies. All drivers are properly installed too. The Firmware field remains blank, as if it can't find the firmware version.

my phone? it wont update it at all.... it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"
I did update it ages ago with odin to XWKJ3
How can i get Kies to update it again?
Cheers
Then you use ODIN to update simple as that . You no longer have the correct codes for KIES server to match to an update .

i've got the same problem

Depends on what region your phone belongs to download and flash the latest ROM released for your region and you are good to go
You can get the boxed ROM and the latest through this website
http://fus.nanzen.se/
Use intratech's thread for flashing the stock boxed or latest ROM

Sounds like you will need the xeu rom then
looking at a near new GS2 here in the UK
How do I ID a true sim free GS2 vs just an unlocked one?
You probably can't if it's been correctly flashed to a generic ROM (which is what I presume you mean by unlocked), but if it hasn't, you can type *#1234# into the dialer and check the CSC.
whats the "CSC"?
CSC = country specific settings network settings etc .
Original Product code Original seller may give you a slight clue .
But network provider sell both locked and unlocked phones .
IMEI checking may give a slight clue as to country of origin

Is getting a simfree/non-locked phone from carrier SAME as getting a phone from retail shop?
Is it necessary that a carrier locked phone will have carrier's logo on it?
If you want to see if your device is sim locked at all you should be able to type the following into the dialer.
*#SIMLOCK#

Two distinct variations
One SIM LOCKED = locked to a network
Branded Phone carrys network or sellers branding .
Sim locked are often branded but branded may not be simlocked .

Sure, if you want to downgrade. KE2 is 2.3.3. KI8 (which is what your phone is currently) is 2.3.5.
Erm no
I want to debrand to generic samsung so i get ICS same time the rest of the GSII world gets it
So which one is generic 2.3.5?

Any of the 2.3.5 firmwares in that thread are generic. That is the unbranded firmware thread. But I wouldn't worry about it; official unbranded ICS is likely to be posted in that thread as well.

You may not get an update via Kies in all probability using a stock firmware can result in no matching product on Kies server .
You either wait for Kies update or start updating yourself via stock rom path .
The method is to pick stock rom to match your location .

Hello,
I have a galaxy s3 I9300 (international) running on:
AP: I9300JKALE2
CP: I9300JKLE8
CSC: I9300OJKALE6
I've rooted using CF-Root 6.4; I'd like to know how to update my firmware manually, because the Israeli carrier is really bad at releasing updates. Which version should I get? I looked over the list of firmwares but I couldn't find one for Israel.
Would I need to enter any values and settings manually once I update?
Will the new firmware override the rooting?
Basically, what version to download and what is the right way to get it on a rooted phone.
Many thanks in advance

Usually not if you upgrade without Wipe.
You may have to enter APN settings manually on Wipe if they cannot be loaded from the SIM-card

Flash with Odin, then re-root the phone with CF-Root.

The problem was that there is no official update for the Israeli orange-partner rom. So checking via sammobile and checkfus didn't give any results because I believe an update especially for Israel doesn't exist yet. I meant in OP which firmware would be closest and safest to flash, considering what I have now. I apologize for not being clearer.

You can flash the latest firmwares found in sammobile, you don't have to use firmwares made for palestine..

That makes no sense at all. How can you call a car a cat? Two different things . Anyways have some respect to other members on a public forum, no one needs your political crap about Palestine/Israel its against the rules. I can call Jordan, Palestine as well but I won't. Trust me don't get into politics here, its a modding forum for Christ sakes.
A simple question but i couldn't find the answer. I flashed my i9300 but i have no idea weather it came with UK, Dutch or Dutch Vodafone firmware. Is there any way to find this out?
Als is there any way a service center can look it up through your serial number or imei?
A similar thread about this for the I9100 / SII went unanswered.

If you dont know then outside of asking Samsung all you can do is guess .
Some say Kies will give original firmware .Tools Firmware upgrade and initialization .
jje
Why don't you flash one that's for your country? It doesn't matter for Samsung warranty if that's the case because once it's their software they don't ask questions.
Mine came with a Dutch firmware, it's a 32 GB and I flash Cyanogenmod over it.
Try http://androidfirmwares.net and look for Galaxy S3 Roms.

After i rooted and then updated through Kies, it did reset the Device status from modified to normal, but let's not confuse that with getting the firmware of the original locale/provider. Kies update didn't change the firmware. So either i already had the original firmware, or it just updates.

That's very reassuring and just what i wanted to hear
The reason i'm not sure what the original firmware is, is that in the past, two of my preordered android phones had UK firmware (probably because the UK shipped a few weeks earlier). On top of that this is my first phone with a contract (subsidized) but from a website (gsmweb) rather than the provider. So the firmware could be UK, Dutch or Dutch Vodafone afaik...
Either i have the right firmware, or Kies just reads the current firmware, not the origingal. If i ever flash another firmware, i'll check if Kies still says this (Dutch, unbranded) is my original firmware.

LH1 is a recent firmware so if your phone is older than a few months its not the original .
((Some say Kies will give original firmware ))
like i said some say that .
But i have no evidence that they are not getting a Kies report based on the HDSWVER in the windows registry .I could test as i know my original firmware but KIES is not a product i use .
