Stock firmware upgrade from kies

I just got my phone yesterday.
Firmware info :
I9300XXALE8
Connected my phone to kies and found out that there is an upgrade already. I guess it's the LE9
Anybody upgraded the phone to this firmware?
Any clues about what's new in it ?

I'm on carrier branded Optus in Australia; it says mine is up to date with LE8 (hey, I'm a poet and didn't realise)
But I did get a samsung kies update first when I opened it.
What country/carrier etc are you on?
Mine is an international version, I'm in Egypt

[Q] How to get Software Update for UK in US

Hi,
I Bought GT-i9300 unlocked international version in US yesterday. It was on LG2 firmware version, which I updated to LG8, but my localised search is not working anymore.
I am just getting web based results, no results from local application and contact. I read that the latest which is LG8, should fix this issue.
Could it be because I set the region to US, in software update settings. If it is the case, What should I set it to? Shall I set it to UK?
Secondlly I dont know how can I change the software update settings, shall I do factory reset or is there any other way of doing it?
Please help!!
Flash any firmware with a BTU product code using Odin.
The phone should then identify itself and update as a BTU model.

Jelly bean 4.1.2 for GT-I9300T new zealand

I am using samsung galaxy GT-I9300T (telecom new zealand). Currently i am using Jelly Bean 4.1.1 in my phone. Officiall Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is here but i am not able to update my phone with latest JB 4.1.2. I have tried with wifi, Kies and phone network. It says that its the latest version which i am using.
What should i do.? Please help

Go to settings/about phone and take note of your baseband. Then Go to sammobile.com and download the latest Vodafone NZ Firmware. It's JB 4.1.2 XXEMA1. Then, as you're a Telecom customer download and re flash you're modem/baseband using recovery.
You'll now have latest official NZ Jelly been and a Telecom compatible modem/baseband
P.S You can use a Vodafone modem/baseband on Telecom without issues so re flashing your old baseband isn't essential. You may get better signal with a Telecom specific (T variant) modem though.

Thank you for your reply
But i am not with vodafone. My phone's carrer is TELECOM NZ. Will it work with Vodafone firmware nz?
Yes any firmware works with any carrier. Vodafone NZ Firmware isn't branded and doesn't contain Vodafone bloat.
You can use the modem that comes with firmware or download T variant modem and flash that.

What country is SG by the way, Singapore? Coming back to the topic, yes. You need to flash a firmware for that specific country and change the CSC to the one that corresponds to that country.

It is not an i9300, it is a Korean model. Suggest you find a forum specifically for your phone. This forum is for the international model i9300. Checking on sammobile, only Korean firmware is available.

so whats my next step?
Just looking, there is a thread in the general section about rooting/custom roms, etc for your device. I would go to general and search for it.
Did you find the software?

Yes there is a thread for Korean models... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749214
You have two choices... 1, download official firmware from somewhere like sammobile and installing it or 2, downloading any custom rom for the i9300 and reading up on how to install it on the m440s page of that thread.
As its not a UK phone there will be no UK firmware for it.Will it work in the UK that depends upon basebands and modem.

It's Korean letters btw. You can install UK firmware but you have to run the kernel converter after. I have link to it on my m440s page.
