I have unbranded galaxy s3 i9300...
Still running android 4.0.4
baseband version: I9300XXLF
Any idea why there is no OTA jelly bean for me yet?
Also,any idea if it should be even available for me ?
Updates are dependent on many factors, including where you live.
Ask Samsung directly
Or root and take control.
Good luck
When it comes to rooting - I'm a total rookie..
Where I can ask samsung about it ?
It's not difficult to root s3
Take an hour, a pc
Search s3 thread for root kit, it's all explained and semi automatic there
Odin is included in above and will be used to root in seconds.
Make sure you understand what you will be doing, follow steps properly. An hour should be enough to read and do rooting
If you need to ask Samsung, go to their website, check contact us section for your country.

press thanks if I helped you
relatively, you can go to sammobile.com and download the latest official jb firmware..
but take not that the updates also depend on the region are currently in.. so if let's say you download the Polish JB firmware, and you are not from Poland... then you won't have to get OTA updates.. you have to update your phone manually
Cheers!
You don't have to root to flash the latest software version...

It only happens to some s3 owners. Not JB issue.

Hey, i want to know when the Rollout of the Android 4.0.3 for the I9100G started in Germany.
I flashed a Costum Rom on my I9100G because the Stock Rom was sticky.
Now i cant use Kies Software to check if the new ICS is availible.
Maybe some people can post wich device they have and when the ICS is availible.
Whats the easiest way to flash a rom that can connect to keys and is update-able via Kies? Do i have to do the complete steps like in the "Warranty Restore" threads?

Hey Folks,
i just updatet from xxla1 to xxlb1 with kies. So the statement from Supporthotline was that its the preperation for the upcoming ICS Update which can come today/next week. He couldn't say safe date but it will come in next weeks... So no June Let's hope it will come up soon. (Germany Unbrandend I9100G)
We have been informed earlier that there will be an update but we dont have the exact dates
Rooted phone doesnt need kies...
Sent from my GT-I9100G
I wonder how efficient will be other manufacturer to roll out ICS to their promised devices... Samsung so far it seem lame...
ICS will come very soon saw a leaked image of a chinese rom!!
2 days later, still no ICS
ICS for i9100P is out so yours not far away now I suppose.

what's your provider? i'm on kpn/hi (netherlands)
in case you know, will it depend on the provider? could that be why i'm seeing no ics update?
thanx
maybe after new galaxy lunch.. ics for i9100g will emerge.. as it come from galaxy far far away..
It`s out: http://www.gsmarena.com/the_ics_update_for_i9100g_galaxy_s_ii_is_now_available-news-4178.php
Not in Germany, apparently. At least Kies is saying, that I have the most recent firmware installed (LB1).
Hi
I am a n00b in android (I used iOS devices since 2007).... So don't jump on me...

No, anything you do will involve either flashing another ROM or rooting the phone, either of which will invalidate the warranty. The good news is you can unroot and flash back to the original ROM at any time if you need to return the phone.

I looking to restore my S3 to stock so i can receive official updates
would this be the correct procedure
Use triangle away to reset flash counter
Flash a stock firmware via odin
For example
I9300XXDLJ4 Download
Base Firmware: I9300XXDLJ4 (4.1.1)
Region Europe
Country: United Kingdom
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 19 October 2012
Modem: XXDLID
CSC: OXADLJ4
Change List: 368423
Would this then enable OTA updates
Why don't you try to search...

Actually if you flash with a stock firmware with odin it will receive future updates via OTA, i had this with my Nexus S phone. I don't know where you get your info from.

Information is from multiple posts saying i cannot update over OTA since i flashed stock firmware .That is why it was no you may not not no .
Not that i would know being a member of XDA i never use OTA/Kies and they don't exist on my phone . So you may be right and those countless posters with stock roms and no OTA may have some other problem .

Im thinking of trading my phone for the note 2 its just so i can restore to stock and for the convenience of the next owner that all stock features (including OTA updates) work

and "no" is the answer to the post about the Nexus S - SGS3 does not behave the same as the pure Android Nexus S with regard to updates etc...I know because i have one and been running 4.1.1 on it since July (4.1.2 for the last week)

Why no ? you flash it with a stock rom 4.1.1 and if a OTA 4.1.2 will be released then why won't he receive it ? I don't get it since the rom is official and will remove everything else that was installed on the phone.

If you flash your S3 with Odin it will increase the flash counter and change status to modified which will break OTA. Not the same with the 2 year old Nexus S as you'll know. The newer S3 has been modified to detect modifications. There are ways around this using mobile Odin etc. but this is just one indication that just because something works on your 2 year old Nexus S doesn't mean it'll work on the latest technology S3.
It's also why I keep bleating on about not giving advice based on supposition, conjecture or what Joe Bloggs posted elsewhere...advice should be based on experience otherwise its worthless, or even worse, misleading and dangerous.

OK thanks for the info, now a newer question. What will happen if someone flashed a stock firmware (4.0.4 dutch) with a stock firmware (4.1.1 poland) via odin ? Will the OTA be blocked as well ? And what will happen if you flash it later with a 4.1.1 dutch stock firmware via odin ?
A friend of mine never rooted or messed with his phone, he only used odin so he could get jellybean faster.
Edit: His flashcounter said this
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NONE
I'll be as straight to the point as I can
I bought a SGS3(i9300) it had ICS when I wanted to update It always said"No update available" and I tried OTA and Kies nothing got me the update to JB
so I went back to the place I bought it from he told me you're not gonna get the update because of where your device was made or something like that(Although I have friends who had the same device, bought it from the same place and they got the OTA update)
anyway He told me he will get me the JB by rooting...I was so eager to get the JB update I said ok...he did it
now I have a rooted device with this build number(JZO54k,I9300XXelk4)(it says its the stock rom when I googled it....I guess)
The problem is I want to get rid of this rom go back to stock and get the official update to JB from samsung via OTA maybe so that it will give me updates if any are available soon(The s4 features they were talking about)because now when I try to check for updates it says your device is modified
Another question is if I want to change to a custom ROM now what should I do?(I really want to try this Rom which makes the software like of the Nexus 4)(I dont think he backed up the ICS stock one)
Thanks alot and sorry for writing this long article
P.S:Yes Im a noob when it comes to rooting...

there is also a search function and in addition the guide "back to stock" which describes how to get OTA back.
but here again for you: unroot, flash stock, make sure to align the CSC with the firmware version, and it should work.

First, That is not an Downgrade,it's an Update xD
Second: Yes,you can update your phone to Android 4.1.2 (or 4.3,4.4 etc. using the Various Guide you find in General or Developer Question)

I believe you can but what's the point? More battery life isn't worth the risk of the insane chip sudden death syndrome.

Look I flashed 4.0.4 BTU on my phone but then I was getting no signal no gsm connectivity
I guess I had a corrupted IMEI
If you do weird things to your phone then you will break it. Efs v2 will not be read by 4.0 firmware, there is no way to downgrade.
Questions go in the q&a forum. Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.

you have to flash 4.1.2 or newer to retreive your imei back
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think there is some way, but you would need a backup of EFS v1 (if im not mistaken). Basically its a long and tedious process and i know that JB is complete crap on the SIII and that ICS ran alot better, but i dont think its currently worth the effort to downgrade, just wait for KK.
Also sudden death only affects 16GB variants.
What about for example if I'm using slim kat 4.4.2 right now, is it possible to downgrade back to stock rom 4.3 by flashing it? I remember I did it before, is it risky like this scenario?

You can flash a 4.3 rom over slim kat. Just do a clean install. I have been hopping between cm11 and stock 4.3 for quite some time and have not had issues.
