Hi guys, I'm a new Galaxy S3 owner that is french no brand i9300XXDLJ2 with 4.1.1 stock, now I want to update to 4.1.2 but i dont want to lose all my things, I'm wainting for OTA message that I haven't get yet.. I though to flash through clockwork the OTA but I don't know where to download it..
Is it possible to update flashing the OTA of another country? If yes, could someone post it with a link to download? I need the no brand or Vodafone version, thanks to those who'll reply
sammobile.com has I9300 firmwares. And yes, you can flash firmware from other countries. Flash them using Odin. XDA does have CWM versions on General section. Search. All files will stay as long as you don't wipe anything.

Hi friends....I have GT I9100,,I flashed it via Odin to Android 4.0.3,but now I can not update firmwares via Kies,can i return back to my original firmware 2.3.3 to be able to update officially to android 4.0 ? thanks sorry for my language
Of course you can pal. Just download your 2.3.3 ROM and flash via Odin, simple.
Just do a Wipe after flashing as you are downgrading.
or if you made a nandroid backup before flashing your new ROM, then you can just reboot to recovery mode and restore your backup there.

If there is an upgrade from 2.3.3 for where you live, yes. But it won't be 4.0, that hasn't been released officially by Samsung. Will be 2.3.4, 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 if your operator has those firmwares.
Some countries/operators are much slower in releasing upgrades.

What are you trying to flash? And how? Did you wipe in recovery first?
You need to give us a shedload more info if you want help... you've given us the square root of f*ck-all so far.

There IS NO nordic release of ICS for the i9100G as of now. This tells me that you are flashing an i9100 firmware to your i9100G. (which commonly results in the screen you are describing)
Flash an i9100G firmware and it'll be fixed.

Which ROM EXACTLY? From where? Have you tried to flash a non-G ROM? Why didn't you wipe?
Jeez this is harder work than it should be...
EDIT: suggestion - stick to KIES.
Thank u all for the support but i flashed a i9100g rom and now its all fine...

The device will reboot to recovery mode (CWM) and do nothing.
I'm guessing the CWM is the problem here.
Is there any safe solution for this? I don't want to wipe or backup or anything if possible.
Is there a way to just reverse the root?
ICS 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9300XXLF2
Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXALF2
Thanks for the help.
Just make the update with kies and reflash root with odin after update

No, I have Kies and I use. I just can't find the upgrade option.
For christ`s sake choose, if you want root forget about Samsung or stick with Samsung and forget about XDA. You can`t have it both ways :silly:

Please come back again when you can read. My problem is definitely not with rooting.
I'm having an issue with upgrading the firmware through the phone.
I would like to listen to you when you get off your high horse.

If you are rooted and you want to keep root delete FotaClient.apk and FWUpgrade.apk.in system/apps, you will not be bothered then with OTA`s.. For upgrades go to www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash the rom you downloaded with Odin v3 3.0.4.and reroot afterwards or flash with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root. See item 2 and 3 of my signature.

You cannot find the upgrade option in Kies ?????
Reinstall Kies may help .
OR their is no upgrade offered by Kies ????
or Kies says no upgrade for this phone .

OTA update works with ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v6.0.1.4 (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager)
It will fail signature validation and then give you an option to install anyway...

Well, you obviously can't flash a stock FOTA with CWM, you need a stock recovery (Don't know why) and then you can flash FOTAs..
Try flashing firmware using Kies, or downloading it from http://sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Odin. Both will work
Okay first of all as the title says, I'm new to the android OS. I successfully rooted my I9300 4.0.4 by reading and using the toolkit 5.0. So now I'm rooted with stock ICS. My question is, will I still be able to update into jelly bean build LJ4 via OTA or Kies? Will someone please enlighten me on this one. Thanks in advance.
Friend i think when we root ota update is blocked.but yes you can update it via Samsung kies.but you will loose root .
Also you can get yourlatest firmware (jelly bean or whatever) from samfirmware and flash it.

OTA: no
Kies: yes but you will loose root, hence re-root
Sammobile: download and flash via Odin, you will loose root, hence re-root
Sammobile: download and flash via Mobile Odin, you can keep root (pro version)
Hey thanks for the quick response for the both of you. Will try on kies first then sammobile if I'm not succesful. Will be any complications regarding your suggestions? Are those firmware from sammobile official?

yes, sammobile has official versions as well as leaks (marked with a orange sign), hence make sure you get the correct version.
There is also a neat guide to flash a rom in the stickies incl. a video.
Also you can try an option called "ota survival" in super user app.
But it do not works for all devices.

OTA update usually fails to install .
Kies may update if it sees correct codes but as you are modify phone it may not .
You would be beter reading the faqs and guides first .

no, you'll have to decrease the binary counter with Triangle Away (requires root), then you can flash a stock ROM with Odin.
please, before you do anything stupid, read a TUTORIAL, because everything i'm saing is extremely superficial!
Why would you root then throw away all the benefits of being rooted by installing official updates?

You don't have to use big letters on us! We can read! Now, since you shouted at us, I'll be shouting back. No, you can't! You should stop using Kies anyway! It's cr*p!
