[Q] Jellybean in France - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sorry if this is obvious information, I've done searches online, what is the official status of JB for SFR in France? Is it out for this phone? Is there some site where I can check?

I have an "update" that keeps popping up on my new GS3 on SFR and I don't want to do anything unless it's JB. But I was told you could only really get the update through Kies and I really don't want to install that program.

Like you, I never use KIES. I think this update (JB on SFR) is available OverTheAir. Connect your phone on WiFi and check via Settings/About devices/Firmware update. Lot of improvements on JB. It is very smoth operating system compare to ICS. You can update via ODIN if it's not available OTA. (Official ROM doesn't increase the counter).

Another way although a little harder.... you could download the Rom of Sam's firmware and flash it via Odin. If you have a mac or linux computer you could use a virtual machine considering you have the hardware or you could use a friends PC
Hope this helps

Actually, since I wanted to get rid of bloatware, I was thinking of just ignoring this update and finding myself a JB ROM that is more Vanilla perhaps or at least stock GS3 or Nexus.

Kies 2.3.4 update UK when?

Each time I connect to kies, it states my sgs2 is up to date, 2.3.3, but I read everywhere on here that your all using 2.3.4, am I doing something wrong
They all are using a version of leaked 2.3.4, which has this and that problem here and there. If you can't wait join them by flashing any 2.3.4 firmware via Odin or if you are in my club then wait for the official release which could be coming any time.
Regards.
You can wait i have tried 2.3.4 only gtalk with video. nothing speacial!
Oh ok, will wait, thanks for the info

How did you get GTalk with video, I just flashed KH3 and my GTalk is still 1.3, no update in the arket and no video support. WTF?
How can I know if there is official europe region 2.3.4. android version for SGS2 or not?
Many of android sites states they have official versions which can be downloaded and installed using odin. Are these available 2.3.4. versions leaked or there are already available for some countries official 2.3.4.? Like me I live in Latvia and there is not available firmware upgrade via kies. but maybe for such large countries like Germany maybe there already is official 2.3.4. And that version then is installed using odin. Am I right or not? Please clarify.

No you are not right .
Official Leaked Samsung firmware is 2.3.4 .
Stock Roms .and csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
KIES updates as and when its receives an update from the phone provider .
Nothing to do with the size of the country Latvia should come under Europe firmware release . Its more dependent upon the phone provider .

Guys are you able to do OTA updates without a PC at all?
Maybe why Europe is last to get v2.3.4 , Samsung is busy changing the gallery app.
Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 update is Rolling out NOW (Daily Updated) | Josephws'sBlog | YouMobile
Some areas have gotten KG5 or KG7 2.3.4 roms (both very much like KG6), but not globally, I would bet a lot of it is carriers taking there sweet time.

Yes, and they have to approve the updates to be pushed out via kies.
I got an official update to 2.3.4 from kies, yet i dont have Video Support in Talk... anyone having this problem?
Hi, i got the 2.3.4 update from kies about two weeks ago but i was wondering if anyone has seen any difference since i dont see any, its suppose that my talk should have
Video support yet i dont have i did get a new market but not with the firmware update
Anyone has had the same experience
I found the battery life much improved on 2.3.4. Worth getting an unofficial update in my opinion - kies is hopeless.

[Q] Android 4.1 Meteor Ireland

Anyone any idea when 4.1 will be coming to Meteor Ireland?????
I can't connect Kies and it won't run on any of my PC's so I will have to do OTA update.
I keep going into SETTINGS / ABOUT DEVICE / SOFTWARE UPDATE but all I'm getting is "No updates Available"
I don't want to install a custom rom and do it that way, I want to keep my phone as is. I like it that way.
Just wait.

if your carrier brands the firmware then you have a long wait probably....and just bear in mind only Poland has had jelly bean update so far.....so join the queue!

I thought Poland was first and it had already started to roll out across Europe. Guess I'll just have to wait.
Chance's are it will be November before we get it.
You'll be lucky to have any branded firmware before the new year.
I don't even think the note has ics yet does it?

Meteor haven't updated the firmware once as far as I can tell. You'd be better to switch to BTU (though that doesn't have JB yet either but it will have it much sooner than MET will). BTU is the official unbranded firmware for the UK and Ireland and so has all the necessary APNs etc. for all UK and IE networks.

Download it with CheckFUS (guides available for that) and flash it with Odin (guides for that too).
But you might be able to just switch the CSC on the phone if it comes with BTU (don't know if it does).
Enter *#272*[your IMEI here]# and a list will come up of CSCs. If BTU is there just select it and push OK, and all your phone will update as a generic device (i.e. quickly).
However, beware that changing CSC will wipe all your data.

Checked the code you gave and it only has MET
What a pitty.
Thankfully Meteor doesn't do anything with the ROM like the others here only the csc is MET. Jet turn off the debugging mode and the kies will see the phone i had the same issue and it is ok now.

Very simple answer .
JB has been released for Poland only.
No others have been updated .
More details contact Samsung or try a Samsung forum .

https://twitter.com/samkiesupdates has a pretty nice overview of what phones have Kies updates available.
It really is out!
JellyBean really is out but the bluddy thing won't install for me!!!
See screenshot here for confirmation- http://i45.tinypic.com/160al46.jpg
I tried to install it last night via my Windows 8 and Windows 7 laptops and I have now tried it on my Windows 7 pc at work but it just won't happen!
I get occasional errors that it couldn't get admin rights from the phone, and now it seems to be Kies itself that's knackered with KiesPDLR crashing.
I got my phone from Mobi-city.co.uk. It came from Hong Kong but seems to be the European version. None of this should matter though, as if Kies is offering me the firmware then surely it has recognised that my phone is one of the ones that should get it!
Really annoyed!!!
well that poland seems like test 1

Thanks. I just found a forum with other users experiencing exactly the same as me, so at least I know enough to get on with the rest of my life. ah well, false alarm on the JellyBean front. Sorry folks.
Thanks everyone. You guys cleared my doubts i knew i could count on xda and its members.
Should be this month, apparently... although it's hardly the first rumour with a confirmation from Sammy with no official release date.

I dont know if this polish version is really an official but i have been using jelly bean on a note II and ny feeling is that it is smoother and less bug in the note II

Apparently the Polish version is a test release, (release candidate) I would assume there is a note in the terms and conditions stating it may contain bugs. not 100% sure on this.
So we could get that exact same version when it eventually rolls out to the rest of the EU, or it could be a bug fix version, either way it's obviously close to a full EU release and nothing much will be different if anything.
Personally I'm just waiting for the official EU release, but if you can't wait, there's no harm in installing the Polish version (providing you follow the relevant directions of course)
i also have the I9300XXLH1 baseband and no new updates i realy hope the final jb rom will have the multi tasking that the note II got 2 days ago

[Q] T-Mobile (EE) S3

I am sorry if this question has already been asked....
I have a UK T-mobile S3 - currently on Stock ICS (not rooted) and want to install Jelly Bean firmware on my phone as t-mobile will take another year before they release their version.
Can anyone tell me which 4.1 firmware i can load on my phone which will be safe without having to root etc? if you can direct me to the right place plz..
Will i still get OTA updates from t-mob or will i have to revert back to ICS to get the update...?
Many thanks
Any firmware can be used and you lose OTA and Kies updates .
Use UK JB makes most sense .

Which Country Gets Fastest Updates?

Hello!
My friend's I9300 is still stuck on Android 4.0.4 build number IMM76D.I9300JKBLH3.
I want to flash him an updated version using ODIN. I want it to be from the country that get updates the fastest, so he would always be updated as he don't know how to use ODIN, and he is afraid.
So, what is the best build to flash right now?
He needs Hebrew to be available for the stock keyboard. No need for full UI translation.
Thanks!
No country gets fastest update .
All you can say is Europe generally in front of the rest of the world .
Exact roll out varies .
Hebrew would be your first item for a firmware version .

There is not faster countries than other, but in general Europe countries get updates first.
Any country will be good.
Im using 4.1.2 from Israel (PDA:I9300XXELL4 CSC:I9300OJKELK9)
Poland was the first one to release Jellybean (4.1.1)
But wasn't the first one to release 4.1.2
Is your friend from Israel too?
Cause Israel already released 4.1.2
For several phone companies

Why laggy? They are 3 Versions: 1 for unbranded and 2 for branded phones.
I think they all both the same. The difference are only the branded apps.
Please correct me if i did something wrong
