Hi, i am new to android and have a samsung galaxy s3, international, on 4.1.1
I flashed the 4.2 camera .zip onto my phone using mobile odin with success, but want rid of it as it is not fully functional. How can i remove it and the accompanying gallery app? Have tried multiple methods of normal app uninstall etc.
Sorry if this is a nooby post, have been searching for an answer and cant find one.

I was on Samsung GT-I9100 / I9100XXK14 / 2.635.7-I9100XXK14 before rooting and flashing custom roms. On 2nd flash I lost all sms and call logs (nothing else) while using Titanium Backup Pro. I also had backed up in Kies. But found out I can't restore from Kies becuz it doesn't recognize custom rom. Purchased TB after I lost original XXK14 firmware due to a botched backup on my part. Can anyone help me get back to my XXK14 firmware temorarily so I cans restore sms and call logs?

Saw this link earlier but the XXK14 download link is broken and I'm not knowledgable as to what other stock roms I can use here in the U.S. on AT&T (not sure that carrier is an issue other than the fact ATT is GSM / HSPA+ 21 Mbps). I'd really appreciate directions to an alternate XXK14 link and/or another compatible GB 2.3.5 stock firmware.

I've checked and can't see anything there. Thanks.
Alternatively use Check Fus, Google it.

Here is what you need to do
1. Get Check FUS downloader: LINK
2. Run FUS Select you Carrier / Region / Model and Download the Stock firmware for your phone.
3. Backup anything you need. You will need to wipe the data and the cache from Recovery mode before you flash the downloaded Fware..
4. Use ODIN and Flash the Downloaded Stock Firmware to your phone. You will loose the root access and you should have your stock back. Yeah before Install Wipe data and cache.
Lemme know if that works. If any doubt... just ask. Dont do anything wrong i'll try to help if i know the answer.

Did you try the "firmwares" link??
I have concerns about you flashing your phone if you can't navigate a website... No offense. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it's really easy to find.
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie so please bare with me. I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S2 which was on Gingerbread 2.3.4 or 5. I foolishly flashed it yesterday to yes you guessed it, ICS 4.0.3. Now as far as the phone itself is concerned, everything is working pefectly fine. No issues whatsoever except now I've noticed that my carrier has changed to T-Mobile UK even though the phone has full functionality on the Virgin network still? Also I get the "This device cannot download firmware" message now when connected to Kies.
Have I totally ruined my phones chances of downloading any official firmware in the furture now? And how can I correct the display of my carrier? I'm guessing I will have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and re-install. But doesn't that do something to a ROM install counter someware on the phone?
Thank you in advance.

You are fine. Nothing has gone wrong. Use the FUS and get the stock firmware for you phone. Flash it via ODIN... Read the above few posts.
For your Flash counter and Bin counter, You can reset it back to zero. Look for Triangle.apk . TO use that you need to have a rooted device. Super user permissions... so run Triangle while you have rooted device? If not then root it to reset the bin or flash counter ( If you want) or just flash back the stock Fware..
No you havent ruined you phone. You can download all official firmwares. Just wait for the offical ICS for your region.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. So just to clarify... If I re-install the stock firmware there will be no need to root the device and install the program that resets the counters?
Also, I've noticed that Virgin Mobile UK isn't listed under my territory?
Thanks again.

So, I installed a Rom without a backup and I'd like to go back on the factory stock ROM.
I'm in Canada on Telus S3 SGH-i747 factory rom…can anyone help??
I did go on the samsung site but the feature to find the proper version based on the country doesn't seem to work on my phone (To obtain them simply open dialpad and type: for PCode *2767*4387264636# and for PDA/PHONE/CSC *#1234#.)
Now, I'm stuck with this ROM that isn't working too well, I don't have a backup, KiES won't recognize my phone in windows, what to do?
Anyone have a factory ROM for the above model? What are my options?
(PS: I learn my leason - back up!)
1. Search for checkfus
2. Download it
3. Use checkfus to download stock rom (use google and xda to find out how)
4. Reflash stock using odin
No worries and good luck

In dialer app, dial *#1234# that shows you what you currently have.
If you feel uncomfortable you might just search for a link in the forums (personally I prefer to get the stock rom from samsung).
Maybe have a look around here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848 (not sure if it's the correct one for you)

There is a SGS3 board in XDA for the US variant. I'm on my phone so I can't copy and paste a link. But browse through and you will find it. If you have sprint it will say sprint sgs3.

No, you can't use Odin to flash Slim. But you know what you can use XDA for? Reading. I'm sorry, but spoonfeeding is against XDA rules. Read up & flash slimbean. First you want a custom recovery & root, from there all you have to do is download the ROM and flash it according to the instructions in Slim OP. I'm not saying any more.

Good to hear.
The reason that everything looks small is that it's not standard dpi. Slim has default 182 dpi, stock is 240 dpi. You can change it, go to settings>interface>LCD density. Follow what it says there, the instructions work great there.

Might just need to restock with Odin if you can't find someone with another rooted phone that can share the apk with you. Usually it would be easy to just download a rom and grab the app from it, but does not seem to be anything available for your phone. At least not here on xda.
