Jus try to update via Kies. Download Kies to Pc connect your phone via usb cable and whent its connected search for update. This is the easyest way. After u will be in 4.1.1 Just try this maybe helps.

No software upgrades via Kies ??

He guys
After reading a lot I am still looking for an answer !
I'm running JB stock rom on my SGSIII (btu) , the official polish one , downloaded
from sammobile. I can still connect to KIES, but it tells me; your device doesn't support software upgrades via KIES.
What can I do to change this ????
Thanks for answers in advance !!!!

It's because it's from Sammobile, not from Kies. If you would have flashed it via Kies, it would still say your device supports (etc. ...)
I think ur phone is rooted n your device status is modified. Now you will Samsung has changed update checks. No modified devices will be able to get update.

That's just the thing. It WAS rooted and it doesn't say it's modified (anymore).

Cut and Paste Kies no update .
Rom is not for your phone .You now present Kies with wrong phone and firmware codes .
Wipe phone and reinstall your original saved firmware .Or download it from CHECKFUS .

[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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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

Downgrade 4.2.1 to 4.0.4

hi ,
i wanna downgrade the 4.2.1 firmware jelly bean rooted in 4.0.4 ice cream, but is a problem i have the XXELKC and i don't find the 4.0.4 firmware for this kind of baseband , shall i install the 4.0.4 I9300XXBLH1 baseband ? it will work if i chose another stock firmware with a different baseband id ?
many thanks,
g00dness
You could flash some standard stock rom and then flash your baseband from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061 (its there). Or if the 4.0.4 rom is the stock rom of your carrier, there is absolutely no problem with flashing that
Just by curiosity, why do you want to do that?
You can surely find your carrier firmware at sammobile.com

You are officially the least helpful person on here.
On topic : If you want a particular baseband, just flash the rom you want and then flash whatever baseband you'd like from within cwm

Where did you get your 4.0.4 firmware dude? Could give me the link,please? I also want to downgrade my sgs3. Thanks!
Yes , 4.0.4 has better performance and all , but remember that it doesn't have the sudden death fix and your phone may die within 2days (happened to someone). You have been warned.
