Hello,
I want this to be a personal question about how to update my phone to Jellybean 4.1
First of all, as u can all see in the screenshot, I don't have software update in my phone,it's a branded Orange phone.
Over Kies my phone is not connecting to it. I have done a ton of solutions, no succes.
So I came here to ask you how can I update my Samsung Galaxy S3 to Jellybean with Odin starting from my screenshot, I mean from baseband i9300bvle4 w/o damaging my phone.
Please, give me some steps like you make for newbies.
Best Regards,
Go grab the latest stock JB from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610. Then use odin to flash, follow one of the many, many guides on using odin. Once youve downloaded the FW its a 10 min job.

BASEBAND is not firmware.
Official update you will get via OTA or KIES .

As I said, I want to exclude the OTA/KIES, because it's not working on my SGS3.

Yes,no need to root
and remember one thing that don't tick re-partition in odin
One thing, when I debranded an Orange phone it wouldn't boot past the Samsung screen, Its better to power of then hold power, up and menu go into that menu and do a factory reset first.

Install updates via ODIN = YES
Via KIES who knows all depends upon the phones codes matching a firmware on the server .

The above post is the only mis-giving I have to flashing this phone.
After reading virtually all of Intratech massive thread on this I'm still the no wiser.
My basic question is the same as the one posted in this thread. If I have a UK branded phone and then flash it with "official" unbranded UK firmware will I be able to update it in the future over the air or with KES? There doesn't seem to be a black or white answer to that only a suck it and see one.
I guess I've been spoilt using Sony phones which were easy to update and got even easier when Wotan became free. You flashed them and there was never a problem updating with SEUS.

Thats the answer simply due to you changing the codes on the phone to something Kies may not recognize .
You can download your current firmware from the stock rom or branded rom posts or use CHECKFUS .
That would enable a flash back to original for a Kies update .
Not many join a developers forum to stick with official release.Its all a pain in the arse waiting for the phone provider to update and asking when its coming to my phone .

That's a good point and I guess you're right.
Either way even if I have a problem this forum seems to have an answer for virtually all of them.
That's a problem in itself as it becomes quite daunting if you look too hard.
Makes interesting reading though.

That will come via KIES when your phone provider releases ICS not before .

What has locked got to do with it ???
Your provider of the phone as defined by the product code updates via KIES .
Or join a forum like XDA and flash stock Samsung ICS rom .

Ask your carrier.
Phone running carrier-branded stock firmware getting firmware updates via Kies it's entirely up to them when they release it after receiving it from Samsung. My carrier got it 7 weeks ago & still hasn't released it (not that I'd want to use tho).
Root with superoneclickroot & stop being a *****!

Half a brain would search the forum as this question has been asked ten thousand times with the usual reply flash a stock GB rom from the stock roms thread via Odin or restore your saved original rom .
Once restored sell SGS2 and buy a Nokia .

My Galaxy s has jsut arrived, I want to flash it with generic firmware without rooting it............for now. Can anyone point me in the right direction of an easy to follow tutorial. Thanks in advance guys
Install Samsung KIES on your PC, connect your phone via USB and open KIES. If there is an update for your firmware it will notifiy you.
You'll also be able to check manually by clicking on 'check for new firmware' or something to that affect on the main screen of KIES.
You won't be able to put on custom roms etc without root
Consider trying this also: On your phone, go to settings --> About Phone --> Software --> Update.
This should check for any latest updates for your phone, although i can't remember this option working for me though. KIES should be fine.

No modems are interchangeable and flash able to change via CWM or Odin .
LP8 is reputedly better than LP7 .
LP7 is nearly as good as 2.3.6 .

I was looking deeper than I needed to mate and to be honest, I got a little confused by kernal versions. I was nearly pulling what little hair Ive got left out. Thanks JJe, as long as I get rid of the 3 stuff on my new Galaxy S 2 then Im happy. I do plan to root but only once Ive gotten used to it and have done a little more research
Done, I now have a device with generic FW on it. Will root it tomorrow. That was surprisingly easy
Ive decided to root my phone. Theres quite a choice of rooting guides, which one is the best? I will need an easy to follow giud with everythng I need. Thanks in advance guys, hopefully someone will point me in the right direction
Everything you have asked for is clearly available here... just look around.
I know how to force install firmware kies by entering the Model Number and the S/N
but anyone know how to force install firmware from germany? using kies? ...
I mean... Galaxy S3 Serial from germany ? Anyone like to share?
I want to update from the latest firmware but using kies and not odin. :/ if possible.
i cannot help you with your request but plz share with us how you " force install firmware kies by entering the Model Number and the S/N"
Thx
Is it really necessary to form firmware by informing keies of handset stuff? Kies really does suck! Anyhow, OTA says there is an update for SGS 3....so me thinks - fire up kies on the laptop - plug in s3 and ill get the update.... boy was I wrong! Kies (latest version DL'd today) recognises my phone but is stumped whne it comes down to current firmware!
btw, im not running a custom ROM and IM not rooted.... any ideas why Kies cannot discover my firmware?
By the way - I also trolled my way through the best part of 200 posts regearding Kies to discover a solution... i dont have time to troll anymore.

Try a Kies or Samsung forum ..
But the usual is due to non matching firmware codes after flashing via Odin .
Possible due to rooting flashing anything that is not the Samsung update path .
Restore original saved firmware via Odin including CSC or join XDA Developers forum and flash a stock rom .
jje
thanks... sorted... after about 40min after updating kies... it asked me to reboot...lol. Then it was job done - thanks for the responding

Trust me when I say this, do not under any circumstances root or flash custom firmwares unless you're 100% dissatisfied with what you're running now.
/100% dissatisfied flashaholic/rom slut/advisor.
If you have a serial number from another I9300 everything will be fine. Just be sure kies asks the serial number before connecting your device and it will download the original firmware. Took me an hour though.
Also reread the forum rules, this should be in Q&A.
Kind regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas.
My kies downloaded the latest firmware when I had my S3 connected. But my S3 didn't reboot. I assumed the update is done.
But it's still in 4.1.1 version.
Now my kies is not showing me that update 4.1.2 available.
Can you please tell me how do I update now using kies.
Thanks
Service centre or see faqs and guides and flash stock rom via Odin.

HI,
I have recently bought Samsung galaxy S2 from Ebay. It is original Samsung galaxy S2. Surprisingly i got a note from the seller that i cannot upgrade the OS.
The current version info :
==================
Modul No: GT-I9100
Android version : 2.3.4
Baseband version : 9100XXKG1
Kernal Version :2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526 [email protected]#2
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.XXKG1
I tried using Kies software to upgrade my OS. But this software does not list any new firmware for upgrade.
So i don't know how to upgrade to the latest OS.
Also if there are any problem during up-gradation will i be able to revert back to old firmware.
Sincere thanks
