Rooting your phone doesn't change your firmware.. You're still on the stock firmware unless you flashed a new rom. Goto settings>about device> and see your build.. Then goto Sammobile and downlaod the rom that is listed for Panama and matches your carrier or build whichever. Download it and flash it rom via Odin and you'll be unrooted.
though i don't see any point in unrooting. Rooted is always better.

Hi all, I'm new to posting here but a vet over at samdroid.
I've looked around quite a bit and my problem seems to be unique...annoyingly.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies. I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
I was thinking of trying odin (i was a pro at updating roms on my spica), but don't know if using an offical update through odin instead of kies would void my warranty etc. NOTE: I don't want to actually root my phone (yet)
I hope that all made sense and any help would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Oli

make sure you got i9100 not any other varient
does other O2 in your area got ICS via KIES
odin is fine and will not void warrenty aslong you dont root and flash back the ROM you have now. you have to find this ROM first if you want to go back.

well o2 have officially released updates in the UK, if thats what you mean? will there be a thread on this forum with the offical ICS ROM or will i have to find it via google?
I got my S II on monday from o2 and I beleive its the I9100p not the I9100, if yours has NFC written on the back its the I9100p and for some reason there is no ICS on kies yet for it

what do you mean by this?
also is there an official rom for my particular S2 that can be updated using odin? or even an unofficial one that wont void warranty?
thanks for all the help guys
This Thread has instructions and official ICS.
Plz note that this is official and will have TouchWiz and does look extremely similar to Gingerbread and without root and custom theme you will not get that ICS feel. You will however get most of the goodies that ICS has to offer.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies.
Well that's not exactly true you upgrade if their is an upgrade for your exact phone .
Kies has firmware for GT-i9100KAO2U product code .
I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
But not for your phones product code which obviously does not match the released O2 firmware .O2 may well and probably over twelve months had more than one phone for sale unless contract has different codes to PAYG .
Standard older O2 UK firmware for xxx Product codes is on Kies its also on this forum in a legitimate flash via Odin .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
legitimate O2 firmware not stock Samsung tested and works on O2 .
Or you can go to Google find CHECKFUS and try to download from your codes .

you still didnt confirm if you have i9100P which i think you have but i could'nt find the Stock ROM your running now, so you can go back to it later if required.
if you have i9100P this thread has good news for you though the actuall thread is stupid and useless...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24030713
i think what happened to u is you got the model which is i9100P not the usuall i9100, thus all on normal model are on ICS and you still on GB. you can wait for it to come or use the i9100 ROM's but please search if that is actually possible.

i read somewhere that i can use i9100 firmwares on my i9100P, so which of those 2 links would you recommend? also, is there a lot of risk or is it pretty easy and you're just covering yourself?
finally, if i update like this, will i be able to update officially through kies when the update is finally released for me?
no im not covering my self...... i tell you in points....
1: you got I9100P on O2 for which i cant find a firmware for.
2: because you cant go back to your old firmware which is O2 you will get into warrenty problems

ok, i guess i'll wait for the official update then. thanks for your help
here are your options if you still want to continue.
1: you can flash stock firmware for i9100.
2: you can flash custom firmware
3: you can flash O2 branded firmware for i9100.
but in all cases NFC wont work by default.
plus now you cant go back to O2 i9100P firmware as it cannot be found anywhere... atleast by me.

Hello guys.
Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions for me. I rooted my new phone using the toolkit method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 and now i am confused about the firmware versions,and if the kernel was changed and such. I forgot to check all these versions before i rooted the phone,so have no idea if these are the original ones.
My phone is bought and used in Denmark,however the firmware suggests it is now a uk version looking at the country code could this be correct? If i look at this http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9300&pcode=HTD&os=1&type=1#firmware my AP/PDA number is the same,but the CSC number is different,is this normal?
this is apparently the stock samsung firmware for my phone PDA:I9300XXBLH3 CSC:I9300HTDBLH1 from the sammobil site, and after root mine says PDA/AP: I9300XXBLH3 CSC:I9300NEEBLH2
I would like to know if this is normal? Can i use the 4.1.1. jellybean (2012 October 4.1.1 PDA:I9300XXDLJ1 CSC:I9300HTDDLI1) on my phone using odin to flash it? Or do i have to find a firmware with exactly the same numbers as my current ones?
I am afraid i might have done something wrong,however everything works,and root checker says i have root access,and superuser is installed on the phone,if the toolkit has "updated" or changed my firmware/kernel to a uk one,does it matter?
Also,after root my phone now shows up as Galaxy Tab in utorrent,but it is still I9300 in my windows7, why is this?
Did toolkit 5.0 save my original rom/kernel/firmware before rooting? If so,where?
I would be extremely grateful for someone to easy my worrying
Thank You

Thank you for the answer. I understand everything now.. And it works fine.. I did however use the wrong firmware rom,so i got different operator,i found the correct stock firmware,and will be starting from scratch using the cf-root method with the correct stock rom.

Hi all, I need some information/help regarding the method to unroot my phone. i have checked a bunch of sites online and i know what the general idea is, but i can't seem to find the original firmware for my phone.
i am currently using an i9300 that I purchased unlocked from Amsterdam last summer. i have rooted it and have been using it on cm9 stable for the international s3 and now want to go back to stock firmware for warranty reasons.
i have been through the list of firmwares on samsung-updates.com but I am not sure which firmware i should install for my specific phone. there are a few netherlands links that i saw but were for tmobile...
furthermore, using *#1234# on my phone doesnt do anythign at all. the baseband version is i9300CELH1 when i go into about phone.
please help me figure out where I can find the original firmware for my phone that will keep it in its original warranty.
Thanks and I apologize in advance if I come off as a noob!

my phone was unlocked, got it for 600 euros so it wasnt locked to any carrier as far as I know.
sam mobile shows tmobile and vodafone, and a third one that doesnt mention any carrier. should i just go ahead with that? either way, is there a chance of my phone being bricked?

There is always a 'Chance' of being bricked but to be honest if you follow the Instructions it should be all ok, I have flashed via ODIN quite a lot and never had any issues Id say go for whichever ROM version you want e.g. is 4.1.2, I know new version is out on Vodafone so id say give that one a try just make sure to select the correct model number
I'm not new to this, been flashing roms since 2010. I'm running rooted ELK4 4.1.2. i want to flash the latest update from Samung, the official 4.1.2, yes I know I will lose root, I'm fine with that. I already did triangle away to prepare to go stock. Now, I bought the I9300 off amazon, so I know not of where it came from. How do I know what version of 4.1.2 to download from sammobile? Hope it's not a stupid question, because I looked for 2 days and couldn't find and answer.

I think you can flash whichever stock rom you want...why not?I mean you can flash custom ROMs with CSC ELLA without the stock ones being available in your country.The only issue which you have is unavailable OTA updates(with custom ROMs which is obvious )..So I think you should flash tha latest stock ROM available in YOUR country from sammobile.Anyway you can find s3's country by giving its IMEI number to your local samsung delegation.And you could ask them too in order to be sure.
there is no american stock rom for the I9300 on sammobile

You didnt mention you're from America..You can't find it cause I9300 is not available there I think.As I said before I think that you can flash wichever stock for I9300 model but I'm not sure so you can either wait for another answer or ask your local samsung delegation.
Hey everyone. Ive tried a few roms and after dealing with my fair share of quirks, i want to go back to the stock rom.
I know that sammlobile has them but there is a problem....i live in the USA and they dont have any roms listed for my region that i can find.
I have an unlocked galaxy note 2 (gt-n7100) rooted and i have clockwork recovery. I just cant find the stock rom for the united states.
Does it even matter? Lets say i download the one for jamacia....would it work just the same?
Thanks all! Feel free to look on sammobile for yourself. If you find a n7100 rom for the USA id love a link. Im using straight talk (att) if that matters.

I think it don't have any Stock firmware for USA because this phone (n7100) is not for USA (in US they have different version of note 2 like i317 and so on), you will never find any STOCK ROM for USA.
So, I will suggest you to find which Country your phone originally belongs and try to flash ROM for that country.
Also, you can try this link for more details - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801046&postcount=1

I think, you wont brick your phone by downloading the wrong region ROM. You can put any version from any country only if your phone model is N7100.
Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong.
