Dear all,
I think I have soft bricked my S3. I had stock Hong Kong 4.0.4 installed but for quite a long time the 4.1.1 update was not made available for Hong Kong region. So I flashed stock rom Pakistan 4.1.1. Afterwards when the Hong Kong 4.1.1 was released, I flashed again to Hong Kong from Pakistan. I have done flashing my S3 and Galaxy Note many time without any problem but now, my S3 is giving me problems. There was some problem with the hong Kong rom (android system sometimes stucked) so i flashed back to Pakistan but ever since, neither of these ROMs are working anymore. When I complete the flashing process, and the phone restarts, it stucks on the Samsung logo. I tried to flash custom rom like Cyanogen and MIUI and they work fine but not the stock roms. Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks

Hey, quick question.
I have an s2 and it's rooted running an AKOP ROM. My girlfriend just bought one too, but Orange have sent her the newer i9100p with NFC. There's no official ICS upgrade either! Because it's different, can I still root it and flash say an AKOP ROM, or is that likely to damage it?
Cheers

You can flash any non i9100G variant i9100 ROM/firmware to an i9100P, but you will lose NFC if you do. (though there are allegedly ways to re-enable it out there on P models if you do this... Search for then)
Orange have released I9100PBLVP6 ICS. Find it at Samfirmware.com. Use CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 to root.

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

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

Hello guys
How are you doing?
I hope everyone is doing well.
I have Samsung Galaxy S III international GT-I9300 running ROM with BB version of I9300XXLFB.
Samsung has released JB updates to almost all Levant region countries except for the LF3 CSC (KSA version). I don't know why Samsung is so lazy in terms of their system updates and customer service.
Anyway, I decided to manually update to JB of another Levant country (UAE).
When I had my device rooted before, the device status changed from "Normal" to "Modified", even after unrooting and flashing the stock ROM. I needed to fully go to stock by wiping my data and using TriangleAway in order to reset it back to normal. My device now is unrooted and running stock ROM and having the device status in "Normal" mode.
My question is: if I flash the ROM using Odin and choose "F. Reset Time" in it, will the device status change to "modified"? Will that affect automatic OTA future updates?
Depends if your flashing a Samsung ROM or unofficial kernel etc

Yes, it is an official stock JB ROM by Samsung but for another country. It is a ROM provided by SamMobile.com, and it supports Kies.
Then it should be fine buddy

So basically I updated my galaxy s2 t989 to jellybean so I would get the upgraded radio so I could install custom roms. After upgrading through Samsung kies I tried again and got stuck in a collaterals recovery boot loop. I restored to a previous backup before I upgraded but the problem is I am back on 4.0.4 but It kept the 4.1.2 radio. So now kies says my firmware is not compatible to upgrade. Is this common or am I totally screwed?

Although I do not personally own an S2 the common method is finding a radio version at 4.0.4 and flashing that. Finding it will be the difficult part. Ask around and see if one of your buddies (XDA is your buddy ) has a copy that they can lend you.

As I said. I don't own any Samsung devices so I can't help you there. Basic andoiud help is finding a raido and flashing it through a recovery, CWM or otherwise.
