Everything is possible, as long as u stick to the rules of XDA by not creating Multiple threads for each of ur Issues ma8
Instead try editing ur previous thread itself for ur issues

I would like to upgrade my SGS2 from the UAE CSC to the official Indian ICS version. Please help !!! I have already downloaded the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8.tar.md5 ICS for India. Do I do this directly with ODIN3 even though I have a different CSC ????????????????
Also the most important thing to ask is :--
"Should I flash the Stock Kernel XXLPQ thru Odin3 BEFORE I UPGRADE to the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 ????????"
Somebody please guide me thru this with the necessary steps or Links !!!!!
THANX IN ADVANCE !!!

Hey NDNESH !!! ODDLP7/DDLP8 !!!!!!!!! Has anyone tried it? There seems to be no queries on this so I assume that no one has tried it or there are no problems with it !!!
I really want to go for ICS.
1). Have I to ROOT it after this ?
2). My Kernel version is [email protected] #2. Is this compatible with the XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 that I am going for ??????
Please help as I am COMPLETELY NEW at this.
Hi,
Is there any way to upgrade the UAE firmware with official ICS India firmware through kies? I really want to know this as don't want to root or use ODIN for my phone.
NO
odin doesnt require root and its as official as KIES yet better than Kies...
Do you mean to say that after upgrading with ODIN I can still get firmware updates through KIES?
Ive had my S3 awhile lately, and ive been noticing the UK/Germany, recieve update's first
i know it's a bit silly to change the firmware for this, but what i want to do is this.

Can someone help me with this.
My original firmware is Netherlands (PHN) Unbranded

You can flash any firmware but if you want official firmware flashing a UK rom does not mean the next updates go first to the UK .

CSC is not updates its the list of local area network settings .
No you may not receive updates . You need to present the correct codes to the update server and its possible flashing another rom may not get updates ..
There are only two routes
One wait for your official updates .
Or join XDA Developers forum and flash stock rom on day of release ..
Example
Your phone official JB update November
XDA stock JB available September .

Hello guys!
I have Galaxy S3 I9300 GSMH.
It's unbranded, i made a research in the forum and it's supposed to be a factory unlocked phone. following the coment "But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)" by dr.ketan in http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1801022
My actual firmware installed is the UBBLG2. It's running ICS 4.0.4.
So, here is the thing, I need to know if I can stall any Official Firmware from Samsung with Jelly Bean 4.1.1.
1. What Official firmware should I install?
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4? Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Looking at these site and post we know the lastest firmware is I9300XXDLIB. Should I go with this one?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/
Last thing. OR should I wait for the 4.1.1 release to this baseband version I9300UBBLG2 ?
Take care guys and thanks for all your help.

YES
1. What Official firmware should I install?
Only one JB official the Polish release .
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
If you want to or have network problems .
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4?
You can but why //
Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
No
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Yes no updates
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/
Use root from XDA only see the INDEX.
Last thing. OR should I wait for the 4.1.1 release to this baseband version I9300UBBLG2 ?

Thanks for your reply JJEgan
so to make a complete picture we got.
1. I can install JB 4.1.1 Official Firmware Polish Release.
2. I don't have to change the CSC. That must remain untouched.
3. Why will this affect future updates if it is a Official Firmware used on a Factory unlocked I9300? so I won't ever get updates for bug fixes and improvements? How will I handle that?
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3. Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband? being this a international factory unlocked.
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Thanks

You dont have to no must remain untouched .

Same way as you are now updating via XDA .
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3.
It is being rolled out .
Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband?
Baseband is nothing to do with firmware .
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best .
Or read and learn and flash stock rom from XDA ,

Thank again for your help, I don't want to bother you, but you make me feel confused.
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS ."
But you do not clarify Why this official firmware from Samsung does affect future updates. I mean the Reason. WHY?
And then you do not answers my question and just told me "Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best ." even when you said before "will not be released its ICS ."
If there is something else i should know please point me in the right direction, i just want to know and learn more to be sure before installing because it doesn't make sense installing JB if you wont ever get updates from Samsung or android for bug fixes and improvement updates.
Sorry if I'm bothering you, don't take it personal.
Repeat you need to read and learn .
Update path official via Kies or OTA OK .
No problem whenever the update is released for your phone you get it .
Alternative via XDA and flash stock rom on day of release no waiting or custom rom .
Example official JB you let us say six weeks wait .
XDA has stock JB released for Poland you can install that .
But you may then lose your official upgrade path as the codes no longer match as you do not have official firmware for your phone .
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS >> no sorry you are confused .
Official Kies and OTA upgrades are not part of XDA .
BASICS SGS3 I9300 International Only .

That doesnt matter unless he wipes data/factory reset via recovery. Also to solve that you simply flash custom kernel.
@ OP
Plenty of topic on here that cover updating roms, flashing new stocks, flashing customs etc. I suggest you start some reading.
Oh ok thanks a lot guys.....

AFAIK the software update from samsung is for Jellybean v4.1.2.
Any OTA update will unroot ur phone for sure
PS- and do keep in mind not to create multiple threads for each of ur issue, rather update the same thread
