Need a quick answer. Long story short: I rooted my Phone with CF-Root>Want to Un-root>Found a firmware (XXEMA2)>Downloaded it but, I am not sure that it's the right version for my GT-19300?>I typed *#1234# *To check my firmware*>It displays:
Version:
AP: 19300XXEMA2
CP: 19300XXELLA *Or was it this?*
CSC: 19300JVEMA1
So...Did i downloaded its official firmware or it was the (XEELLA) firmware i should have downloaded? Sorry for the english, English is not my first language.

Flashing is never 100% safe. You can find the most up to datefirmware for your carrier and region on sammobile.com.

MA2 is your firmwares number. You can usually flash every firmware a long as it is for the I9300.

But "Region" matters, right? I download this firmware because i couldn't find (XXELLA) Firmware [Region: Pak]. So i did some research but, I only found this firmware which was from my Region. So would it be safe to flash this firmware or should i find the (XXELLA) Firmware for my S3 (GT-I9300)? *Which i can't seem to find*. Thanks for quick response.

Region doesn't matter, only if you want ota updates you need a matching region and csc if I am not wrong. But anyway you can flash any new version via Odin as well, hence I wouldn't bother with it.

Are you guys even staying at topic? The question is not about "What firmware i need to download", The question is "What firmware is to be used to RE-return to my Stock Firmware, I had".

First of all. For someone who is looking for help your tone is offensive and discouraging to those that might be able to help. If the question is indeed so simple as you ask then why are you asking the question in the first place.
Second of all, the reason people ask you to look at sammobile is because you can select the region that you are in and/or bought the handset from and would be able to check for yourself if you have indeed downloaded the correct firmware for Pakistan.
Sammobile is down at the minute and will be back up at any minute. They Tweeted this 20minutes ago.

I apologise if i have misunderstood what you have wrote but it is just how what you have wrote comes across.
Anyway, was your phone branded or unbranded when you bought it?
I have just had a think aswell. If you want to revert to complete stock unrooted, you could do it using kies firmware/update utility under tools. If you type the model as GT-I9300 and enter your device serial number (under battery, not imei) and connect your phone in download mode, kies will flash the correct firmware that that device shipped with.
I would help with the correct version but sammobile is still down and that is the site to help pinpoint the correct version details which you are asking for.

Here is the firmware information for a stock unbranded Pakistan GT-I9300. This is what would have been shipped on the device when it was manufactured.
Product Code: GT-I9300MBDPAK
Version: Android 4.0.4
HIDSWVER: I9300XXALE9/I9300OJVALE9/I9300XXLE8/I9300XXALE9
I can not find the latest update for your region atm. But this firmware would be the right one for your region.
It is ICS though. you could install this and then OTA update your device.

In the link I've posted if you search you wok find a link to Pakistan firmware. If your device is a Pakistan unbranded Rom then that file will restore a complete stock system.
Before you flash, turn off your phone and hold volume dwn, home and power. Then press the up arrow once in download mode. Look at the Flash count abs make sure it's 0 or reads stock or official next to the status. If it doesn't reboot your phone and use triangle away which is in the forum and remove the Flash count. Then Flash your rom via odin.

Greetings XDA,
Lets say a Galaxy S II was rooted and then deleted some files from the system and edited some others. Then that Galaxy S II started malfunctioning and be useless.
How can you remove rooting and everything get back to original [ meaning like never rooted or edited files ] ?
Don't get upset i am a noob indeed and maybe annoying but i am a lawyer and i only play with papers. I gave this colleague of me my phone because he wanted to "see" something, at least that's what he said, and i went to the meeting, then he ran to find me and told me he messed it a little bit.
Can it be restored?
Will flashing firmware unroot the device and restore files back to stock?
Thanks anyone who answers or even view the thread.

You're sparse with info, like most lawyers..
If you can boot into download mode, do so and flash a stock ROM via Odin. System files will be restored but you'll lose root. If that goes well then you can re-root
Then you should boot your colleague in testicle mode.

My colleague still tries to find info on internet on how to restore it and keeps saying how sorry he is. Why do i need to reroot? I don't want to be rooted.
Does it need to be rooted? Because he rooted it i never wanted that.
Will doing so bring up all manipulated files?

If not, is your phone locked to Cosmote?

The link for SAM (Peru) in Intratech's official firmware thread is not multiload, and works.
Alternatively, you can probably find any firmware you want on samfirmware.com, or checkfus.
Does the type of firmware really matter? or will getting the Peru one make a difference in the phone, my phone uses the TTT version so i wanted to get that back, my apologies if i just asked a noobish question but this is my first time at this sort of thing. and also the Sam (peru) link isn't working either.

I honestly don't know what difference there is. Probably just the CSCs, (Country Specific Codes) which may or may not matter for you. Will probably make it so Kies doesn't recognize your phone for update. If you don't use Kies, it probably won't matter. But if you want the TTT version specifically, then, again:

EDIT: sorry, the link on Intratech's thread used to work. I guess it doesn't anymore. However, again, see above quote for alternatives.
Ok i found one on Samfirmware, will try it out, and thanks for the help so far.
Hello guys,
I bought this phone unlocked from a store in Cyprus (not from cytamobile vodafone as stated below). When I came to the UK, as I'm a student) (and inserted an O2 Sim-card) I got asked to update, which I did, but I haven't noticed anything difference and I'm still in 4.0.4. I've seen most of the people (in this forum at least) have upgraded but I still get that there is no update available for me.
So I've downloaded checkfus and the results are in the attachment... So i've searched in the checkfus website (it won't let me link it as my account hasn't got many posts) and I got some weird info and I'm trying to figure out what's going on without any luck.
As you can also see from the attachments here are the info and on the right the country results I get after searching in the checkfus website:
Product Code: GT-I9300MBDCYO (Cyprus (Cytamobile Vodafone))
PDA: I9300XXBLH1 (India, Kazakhstan (Kcell), Serbia (Vip SRB), Ukraine)
Phone: I9300XXLH1 (Kazakhstan (Kcell), Serbia (Vip SRB), Ukraine)
CSC: I9300OXFBLH1 (Serbia (Vip SRB))
So if you check the attachment you will see most of the information about my phone.
Also, please note that I've tried searching the above but haven't found anything useful. If I missed anything that has the answer I'm really sorry for creating a new thread.
Anyone knows what's going on? Is this normal? Should I flash another stock ROM (and which one)? Should I just wait?
Thank you very much for your time and I would really appreciate any helpful reply! If you need any other information please let me know as I really want a taste of the buttery update!

Hello,
Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to start rooting and adding custom ROMs yet, as the stock one (until now) works for me!
My guess is that jb updates haven't rolled out in cyprus yet. As you bought your phone is cyprus, it won't follow the uk schedule.
If you don't mind flashing, just get any official i9300 firmware from sammobile and flash.
As you mentioned you don't want to amend your phone, or the sort, you can just wait for the cyprus jb to roll out?

Well, I don't want to mess around with the phone this early as it's only about 2 months old.
I wouldn't mind waiting but as it's kind of weird that I haven't got it yet! Do you know if it would make any difference if I flashed the UK one?
If I get the UK Universal one (is that the BTU?) and flash it through odin as a PDA will that work? Will that make the flash triangle appear?
Sorry for asking so many questions I'm kind of a newbie and a bit of scared of the flashing process and don't wanna lose the warranty!

Please forgive me if this and following questions have been answered already. I'm casual reader of XDA Forums. Before posting this thread I've done a lot of searching and reading (it took me past 2 hours) and still I'm unsure as to the answer.
I hope it's perfectly fine to have more questions in the thread than one.
All I could find about my current phone and rom running on it:

So to the point. I'm curious if there are any consequences of flashing ROM and not using the correct CSC,
I wanted to flash latest JB on my phone - the official stock ROM from Spain. I'm afraid of doing it because I'm not sure what will happen.
Will my phone be debranded?
Some background info: I bought the phone in Poland. Flashed stock ICS ROM with multiCSC and chose XEO as you can see in the screenshot above. Now I'm living in Denmark. I'd like to get the latest JB on my phone, debranded. What should I do?
Another small question - where can I get the latest version of Odin? I've been looking for some official site for it but to no avail. It seems that I'm too stupid for that.
Thanks in advance for your time and hopefully an answer to my questions (also if any further arise).
NB Sorry for using wrong terms throughout the post - I'm kinda newbie to all of these.

After running the "Got brickbug?" app it appears that mine phone is affected by it. Should I wait for the official OTA then?
Also there are still few questions unanswered from the OP. I'd like to know that stuff.
Brickbug is a hardware problem but only matters if you have a kernel that is not patched for it. Just don't wipe or format the phone till you are sure you have a kernel that is safe.

Brick bug was a start, I assume you've done more reading about all those answers you were looking for.
CSC will work for every I9100, you were reffering to MODEM.
Go ahead and flash jb from spain, if your network doesn't work (unlikely but possible) you'll have to flash another modem.
And yes, your device will be fully unbranded.

Via XDA stock firmwares post or sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com
Read the basic faqs and guides posted in the General section before doing anything .
Stock flash via Odin will require root again .

Most importantly, is your phone GT-i9300? Because S3 has various models and can not messed up the ROM
Actually, personally think the region code doesn't matter at all.
You should spent a little more time in general section, everything you need lays right over there

Be patient, it's not complicated as you thought. As matter of fact, I brought my Nexus S 18 months ago, then I immediate (like 20 minutes reading the thread and 10 minutes of preparation and operation ) unlocked bootloader and rooted it , I didn't even know "Android "before I got that phone!!!
if you mother language is not English, you can search some thread with your own language thread which should make it easier.
Just be patient reading these thread, don't be panic, this is not anything emergency, you have lots lots time doing this.

If you are in Greece this link will take you to Sammobile firmwares, make sure you do have i9300 international then download the lates version i9300XXELLA and flash it using Odin which you already have.
Make sure you understand how to flash via Odin by reading the Odin thread if you do it wrong you will just have an expensive brick

Get it?
