[Q] International Compatibility - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I asked a question like three days ago and I think I wasn't very clear
I have a Mexican SG3 and I want to try one of the European Jelly Bean Roms that have been out for weeks but I haven't really understood how does the builds and basebands work on this phone, I used to have an epic 4g touch from Sprint and I was used to only have one kind of baseband because it's an us phone only, but with this one I don't know what all the XX(insert random letters here) builds mean cause my phone has a build number of UBBLG2 and I'm afraid that if I install one of the jelly bean roms my data service will be lost...could someone please tell me how does this work

since its the international s3, you have no problem.
If you lose your service flash a compatible modem/radio from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061

There is only one modem for JB, much more simple than allthe ics stuff. In the pointed thread download XXDLID baseband if you don't already have it.

Don't worry, just flash the jb rom. If you encounter andyproblem, then you should flash another modem.

[Q] installing official JB release

Hi, i saw the official release for JB here http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-i9300-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-official-upgrade-118073/
This is the actually official release right?
Also do i have to follow their guide or can i just flash it like i would any other custom ROM? Is a full wipe necessary? (i use full wipe script from android revolution HD on mike1986 post)
Btw is there a way to do full wipe manually on the recovery page?
Yeah its official jelly bean, follow everything they say down to the last detail, also....make sure you have the international variant of the S3 because inevitably, you WILL brick your device if you flash it on any other device other than the international (quad core, GSM) version, good luck

sorry for a lame question, but how do i know if my SGS3 is international version? I bought it from ebay, which arrived from Hong Kong, however I think it is a european version (France??), I don't remember how i found that out last time. I am on a custom ICS ROM.

Odin recognizes tar files only AFAIK...if you have a zip file...extract the contents ..it will have a tar.md5 file inside it..

Re above .
Wipe phone and apply your original firmware .
Bit pointless flashing a JB rom only to remove it why not make up your mind what you want.Official Updates via Kies and OTA when they are released for your phone .
Or join XDA and flash stock roms on release . You cannot have both .

I flashed my s2 with an ics Rom from here and it also upgraded through kies and would thought this would have as its the official polish release

Some questions regarding root...

Hi all, (this is my first thread)
I wanted to ask a couple of questions about which I am confused...
I am currently running stock 4.1.1 on rooted international galaxy s3..
Q1. Is there anyway I can get 4.1.2 OTA Without unrooting?
Q2. I am not sure whether the country I bought my phone from has got the update yet... So is there anyway I can check that...
P.S I got my phone from dubai..
But I live in India...
Thanks.

Give a try to the temporary unroot option in the superuser app...
Not guaranteed to work...
Download stock rom through sammobile.com and flash through odin only...

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?
Thanks!

Try Omega for urself and see how it works...
No dev wud hav released ROM with so many bugs...

I had the same experience, Omega had loads of launcher redraws and sudden lag. No such experience on ARHD with Perseus kernel. That kernel now even has the exynos exploit fixed.
Nope, all other roms i've tried i never used more then a few hours.
Can you give me a link to the ARHD page?
Thanks!

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me
Best regards

Haha.. Thanks buddy.
Btw, I am not new to rooting, I have flashed at least 15 rom's on my old phone(galaxy ace)
But I was not a member of XDA then.. I just used to read....
But since s3 is much more expensive I wanted to be absolutely clear about the smallest of things...
Because with great power comes great responsibility.

You are still not getting it. Flash the ATT ICS modem. Flash a Canadian ICS modem. Flash a Gingerbread modem. All on the forum.
There's no such thing as a Gingerbread or ICS or JB modem. The modem is universal to all galaxy s phones, so you can use any you please.
The best modem for your situation is the current modem, the LF6.
