Hi,
If your device is a International I9300, so you can use all the firmwares for this device.
There are a lot of ROM's for your I9300 in Android Development Original section here.
Just follow the explanation in each post.
Regards.
do not flash the USA t mobile Rom on an international i9300, you will need your phone up big time, only flash Roms from this forum.......are you sure you have the international version?

Use CHECKFUS to download stock rom and flash via Odin or any stock rom on this forum ..
Warning flashing I9300 on a non I9300 will bust your phone .

You also keep using I9000 and I9100 interchangeably, what phone do you actually have? If you have an I9100 (not I9000 or I9100G) then you can find everything you need about flashing an ICS ROM in the stickies, specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487

Hi,
I currently have a samsung galaxy s3 branded on at&t running on 4.1.1 (model: SGH - 1747)
However, it does not have chinese language on it and I need to have it installed. After searching the web, it seems the only way is to flash a firmware over it. How do I do this?
I had downloaded Odin and a Unbranded firmware. However I'm not sure if the firmware is right for it. I9300XXDLJ4
If I flash this firmware over my existing at&t branded on, would it work ? Or will the phone not work anymore?
Thank you.
It's urgent.

Frankly, I think that's impossible. I have a Galaxy SIII GT-I9308, which is customed for CHINA MOBILE. When I flash XXELLA and replaced the modem.bin, it seems to be bricked....
DON'T FLASH IT!
You don't have an international i9300 do you! So don't flash it or you will possibly end up with a paperweight
Hi Guys
I'm a newbie here... I've done thorough searches here, but no-one's posted a query like I seem to have?!
I purchased an Australian SGS3 I9300 on the Optus network from the UK eBay site (this wasn't mentioned in the auction, so I expected to receive a full UK firmware/spec phone), it comes with Jellybean which I'm not a massive fan of...
Am I able to downgrade the australian 4.1.2 Jellybean firmware, to either an international or UK (O2 Telefonica) ICS 4.0 (which I love)?
Is it just a general download of the international firmware from Sammobile and flash through Odin?
Any help and advise appreciated

I would root the phone first and make a backup of your current firmware. Then just get the ICS FW you want to flash and do it through odin.

Thanks for your reply!
I was 'hoping' not to root it, and just do it as a general firmware download?

wouldn't you rather have a backup just in case though? you can always use triangle away and then once you flash with odin you will be back to stock anyway!
Get a copy of the firmware that is currently on the phone or at least make a note of it .
Then via Odin flash a stock UK rom from stock rom thread or from sammobile.com .

Thanks for your reply guys - very helpful
I'm going to make the backup and install the new (older) firmware
Hi everyone, I got a international s3 or European I just know it's not from my carrier directly. My question is will I be getting software updates according to my carrier/country or will I be receiving the updates the time it comes out in Europe? I'm asking because I updated to 4.2.1 about 2 months earlier than my friend did and he bought it straight from Vodafone NZ
Official 4.2.1?
I think it depends on your Carrier
You will be getting updates when they come out in Europe. Updates are actually pushed through according to your phone CSC as you have an international unbranded phone unlike your friend's Vodafone branded unit.

oh darn it lol i reflashed stock with the Vodafone NZ 4.2.1 rom not the International UK rom.. can someone point out the steps to reflash stock rom if my s3 is already on stock rom? cheers
Oh by the way, is there any difference to the software updates between countries apart from them being released at different times? I was on International UK rom but I flashed NZ stock rom and now its seems im having quite a bit of battery problems, just wondering so I know whther to reflash international stock or leave it with NZ
so is it 4.2.1 or 4.1.2?

I found heaps of guides but they only guide on how to go back stock from a custom rom. Im already on stock rom though and i want to revert back to international stock rom but NZ stock.
Soz im a noob, still new to this
it is no different
So which is true? Does software updates follow the carrier the phone is using (eg. Vodafone) or the region (eg UK/EU)??

Hi, I was given a Galaxy S2 I9100 with baseband version I9100BOKJ1 T-mobile that has android 2.3.5 installed.
So, I wanted to update it to 4.1.2 through OTA but it says that there are no updates available, what are my options?
Can I just install an official 4.1.2 stock rom through odin? If so, what 4.1.2 stock ROM is compatible with this phone? Thanks!
Yes, you can flash a 4.1.2 stock ROM via Odin. There are plenty of stock ROMs on the internet for our device, most of them are on sammobile.com, but you need to sign in to use it. A simple Google search will show its results. Try to find a ROM matching to your region/carrier.
Think about making a backup of your baseband. There are guides on the internet. If you get big problems with GPS or signal strength with the new ROM, you can flash it back. Some people report the stock baseband solves GPS and signal issues, nevertheless it didn't change anything for me when I tried around switching basebands.
Hope this helps.

Some regions didn't get JB update at all. You can flash your phone using odin.
Go to below link find a none carrier firmware download and flash.

My current rom is xwlsw.
And don't try AOSP stock is always the best.
