Hi to everyone from Greece.
I own a Sg3 LTE (1st day today) and it has Vodafone Greece firmware inside. I want to change it to Cosmote Greece firmware.
I have download the I9305XXBLL5_I9305COSBLL4_I9305XXBLL5_HOME.tar.md5 from SamMobile and I don't know how to Flash it...
I try it from Kies to upgrade but the only firmware it finds is PDA:LL5 / PHONE:LL5 / CSCLL2(VD2) which is Vodafone Version I suppose.
How Can I flash the Cosmote firmware I9305XXBLL5_I9305COSBLL4_I9305XXBLL5_HOME.tar.md5?
THX.

You need to use a program called odin..
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
Also, you should read the sticky threads in the general section of the forum. You need to learn how to back up before you do anything. Most important thing to backup is your efs.

When I connect my S3 to Kies, it shows the following firmware : PDA:LH9 / PHONE:LH9 / CSC:LH9 (BTU) [Am running the JB leaks]
I bought my S3 internationally, so that is probably why the firmware is the UK version.
However, I live in India. So, my question is, when the official JB comes out, will I be able to update my S3 to that from Kies after removing root & resetting the Flash counter from Stock ROM ?? But will I also have to change the CSC code to India to be able to update from India or just flashing the Indian 4.0.4 firmware from Sammobile will be good enough. I don't really have much idea about CSC, so please forgive me if it's a stupid question.
Sorry, if this already been asked before, but I couldn't find any info upon searching.
Thanks
The CSC isn't relevant at all. You can go to http://sammobile.com or even http://androidfirmwares.net and look for the relevant Multi-CSC ROM. Now saying this is don't know what's the CSC code for your region if one exists but it won't make a difference what you flash because there's no differences.

Grab your stock Rom from sammobile original and why not new JB when it comes out for your exact provider. I'd flash it with mobile odin pro and keep everoot. Counter will be 0, status will be normal. Need warranty remove traces of root unroot and you're done.

Hi Guys
I'm a newbie here... I've done thorough searches here, but no-one's posted a query like I seem to have?!
I purchased an Australian SGS3 I9300 on the Optus network from the UK eBay site (this wasn't mentioned in the auction, so I expected to receive a full UK firmware/spec phone), it comes with Jellybean which I'm not a massive fan of...
Am I able to downgrade the australian 4.1.2 Jellybean firmware, to either an international or UK (O2 Telefonica) ICS 4.0 (which I love)?
Is it just a general download of the international firmware from Sammobile and flash through Odin?
Any help and advise appreciated

I would root the phone first and make a backup of your current firmware. Then just get the ICS FW you want to flash and do it through odin.

Thanks for your reply!
I was 'hoping' not to root it, and just do it as a general firmware download?

wouldn't you rather have a backup just in case though? you can always use triangle away and then once you flash with odin you will be back to stock anyway!
Get a copy of the firmware that is currently on the phone or at least make a note of it .
Then via Odin flash a stock UK rom from stock rom thread or from sammobile.com .

Thanks for your reply guys - very helpful
I'm going to make the backup and install the new (older) firmware
Hello,
I live in Pakistan and I just got my Galaxy S3 Gt-i9300 and it had Saudi Arabian warranty in it so I guess it's from Saudi Arabia. I rooted and flashed custom ROM in it now I wanna revert back to stock firmware but when I select Gt-i9300 on sammobile for downloading stock ROM then I there's a box called "Country", I'm confused about this part, Idk what to select..
Here are the questions that I wanna know answers of:
Does international Gt-i9300 got different rom for different countries?
Is there possibility for bricking my device if I select different country but Gt-i9300 rom?
And last question, what country do I choose now?
Thanks!

yes. different firmwares for different countries. CSC changes from region to region. there is no risk of bricking if you flash a different firmware. check the details under about phone and google for the similar ones. good luck

you can basically choose any firmware from any country. It is recommended though, if you run into problems, to flash your stock firmware (your country & carrier) (e.g. you can run a UK version in the US as long as it is for the I9300). In addition a second part is about modems, which again, you can use any modem of any country, whereas usually modems from your region will work best.
To see different firmwares etc. have a look at sammobile, there you can filter for your country, carrier, model etc.

Hello. I flashed my i9300 several times. And now i'm on cyanogenmod 10.1.3 stable.
I'm noob, and i don't know witch is the stock original firmware.
How can i find?
Go to sammobile and look for your phone model and country, download the latest stock rom for your country. You don't need the original firmware.
I searched. But i didn't found. My box is writen in france. I think it's from france. I live in romania
It unbranded.

go to sammobile.com, select firmware and search for your device and carrier and it will show you what original firmwares are available.
I can' find my carrier. Orange romania. Only cosmote.
And france it's not listed
My phone worked with the stock in every europe country/carrier. That's what the box say's.

Alternately, you can use kies.
Without connecting your phone:
1) Go to emergency firmware recovery
2) Type in your model number
3) Type in your serial number
After that it will tell you the latest stock firmware for your phone.

True but he doesn't NEED that firmware to be covered by warranty. Having firmware in the wrong language would be detrimental. Suggest latest romanian unbranded
