Hi:
What brand of phone do you have? Do you have the original box and papers that came with the phone? Really you should always know this information BEFORE you even touch anything on your phone and always make and keep a record of it. The original Samsung phone box should have the specific numbers you are looking for, this would be a good starting place. Another thing you should have done before modding your firmware would have been to go to settings>about phone to find and keep a record of the Model number, version number etc.Then you could have compared those identifers with files found in Sam Mobile and come up with the Stock ROM. Do you know what country the phone's firmware was meant to be used in? You'll need to provide more specific information so that others could be more helpful to you.

Same here i dont know if your phone was branded or not .
Why not download one of each .
Or find exact same supplier of the phone that you bought from .
IMEI does not indicate branding though it may give a clue as to the phone vendor .

I have all the original papers but i cant seem to find the numbers i have the original box, the phone is from vodafone germany i dont know if it was branded or not so thats is also a problem

The latest original Vodafone Germany rom I9300XXEMR2 is here http://www.hotfile.com/dl/193095133/14cd312/I9300XXEMR2_I9300VFREMA3_VD2.zip.html. To verify go into a Vodafone store and check the firmware info. Flash with Odin.

Hi all
How should I flash the OTA flash files downloaded from Samfirmware?? Should I use ADB?? If yes, can anyone tell me the commands??
I normally flash phones with SPT/RIFF box, so I am a bit rusty in ADB
Kind regards
I'd say use Odin. But just to be sure, Check the stickies in the general forum. Use the search if not sure.

Hi!
Just use odin to flash the firmware.. i'm pretty sure most of the fw would just be on PDA in odin.

If you are talking about OTA and not the full firmware..it has to be flashed in stock recovery...first make sure you have the correct firmware version on your phone..the firmware version required will be given alongside the OTA on samfirmware..now move the OTA to your sdcard..reboot into stock recovery..use vol up+power+home buttons..then choose install update from there..
I need to do this. I'll do a Titanium Backup before, but should I expect all my content, apps, preferences and all that to be intact after the procedure (presuming everything goes the way it should)?
Edit: Also, why can't I see an option for United States in the drop-down menu when narrowing down my device? Should I use some other country?

And do you know what this ota files are used for? I've an S5830 from Vodafone(Spain) and I want to get it back to the original firm (you know, operator apps and some more innecesary ****), but I'm unable to find one on the internet.
Looking at www.samfirmware.com, the only thing I've seen about my device and Vodafone is the OTA file i'm talking about, but I'm not pretty sure if flashing it will let my phone in factory defaults.
I need to flash a Vodafone rom because I wanna send it to the technical support.

Find a Vodafone Spain Rom, it should be over 200mb, then download Odin for your galaxy ace, it should be in the ace forum. Then flash it. Check the link below.

hello everyone,
I'm currently using the stock orange france version of i9300....And yesterday, when I tried to flash the 4.1.1 official Jelly Bean i9300DLIB...everything seemed to be find, the signal is still there....BUT IT'S HOPELESS FOR ME TO MAKE ANY CALLS OR MESSAGES-not registered in network T^T....even through the signal is full and my phone can easily detect the SIM card
After that pain, I tried to find my way back to the stock rom from downloading (i forgot to do the nandroid backup but only imei backup) and all i found out is the "No signal" sign (circle with a cross) and it's still useless to make phone calls and messages before and after i restored the imei.
please help T^T....I'm one of many victims including my friends...

yes you can. but sometimes you may face modem problems like "you can't call or text people!" like in XXEMG4. i suggest you to backup efs and then flash any f/w you'd like to.
:good:
Just make sure that the firmware you are flashing is for the I9300 branch. Flashing other firmwares not suitable for the I9300 will well... brick the device.

my first post, okay i live in ethiopia and i happen to get my hands on a galaxy s duos which i doubt its original since it dont have the duos logo on right top and antutu says i have 3.1 and .3 mp of camera but its the same elsewhere on the phone, ram, processor.
Now my question is my country is not listed on the update list and so can i use a very updated rom from random country and update it? or should i wait to someday it gets in? and if yes with what installer cause OTA is impossible?
okay i have to use odin, but please tell me the the rest!

first you have to be sure it is original or not check on setting-about
and post also check on the battery compartment back of the phone and post
if it is not original you cant use odin you have to try something else

And usualy samsung updates.com and sammobiles.com are genuine sites in we believe which provides original samsung firmwares so downloading from those will be better and i guess your phone is as said is an asia model so download an asian firmware nothing bad will happen if it doesnt work we can try another
