Hey XDA,
I come here today seeking wisdom from the gods.
So a while back I rooted and flashed my mums phone:
Info
Samsung Galaxy S 3 - I9300 - UK - Orange
did all the usual CF Root with Odin etc.
now my question is, I recently noticed Samsung released stock 4.1.2 roms which I would like to put on there.
The thing is, I am abit confused as to which rom to go to as her contract is Orange, but 1-2 months the carrier changed to EE.
So which firmware so I go EE based? Orange based? ..?
Thanks for any feedback.

Firstly thanks for speedy reply,
secondly you mean they are ALL compatible in simple terms?
Any rom is compatible as long as it is for the I9300, you could even flash an Israeli rom.

Hey guys, I hope this is the right place to post this. Sorry if it isn't!
I was just wondering if there was any way to download a stock from from Tesco? I'm asking this because I recently rooted my phone, only the whole thing buggered up, forcing me to re-flash a stock ROM. The only problem is that the ROM isn't from Tesco, meaning that I've lost Aldiko Premium, and a few other things.
I know this isn't a huge problem but it would still put my mind at rest if I knew everything was as it should be .
Thank you ever so much!
Go to intratech's thread in the dev section. He's the man to ask

Tesco dont have a firmware supply .

Do you mean its a Tesco branded phone with Tesco firmware/software .
That would be very unusual for Tesco .

What has locked got to do with it ???
Your provider of the phone as defined by the product code updates via KIES .
Or join a forum like XDA and flash stock Samsung ICS rom .
jje
Ask your carrier.
Phone running carrier-branded stock firmware getting firmware updates via Kies it's entirely up to them when they release it after receiving it from Samsung. My carrier got it 7 weeks ago & still hasn't released it (not that I'd want to use tho).
Root with superoneclickroot & stop being a *****!

Half a brain would search the forum as this question has been asked ten thousand times with the usual reply flash a stock GB rom from the stock roms thread via Odin or restore your saved original rom .
Once restored sell SGS2 and buy a Nokia .

you have not asked for carrier specific so you can flash any europe based ics, or even asia doesnt matter they all work, and has english uk.
check sammobile or use checkfus
latest UK release I9100XWLP7/I9100XEULP5/I9100XXLPS/I9100XWLP7.
get from checkfus/sammobile
Have updated to open europe ICS through Kies today, am well impressed.

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!
dude get the galaxy toolkit root and install any cooked rom they work great fluid and crispy get any famous one

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?

Thank you for your reply!
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!

Hi there guys. I just wanna help my sis to ask about the s3 firmwares question.
Well, she got an S3 GT-I9300T from Bangkok, and I noticed that I9300 already has official android 4.3 firmware while I9300T doesn't have it yet, so can I flash a I9300 android 4.3 firmware on her I9300T through Odin ?
Thank you for replying this thread and help me out. Appreciate it.

Does this help you?, read this and the next few posts. The only diff between the 9300 and 9300T is the T version picks up the 850Mhz networks other than that they are the same. Thats what I came to after alot of research when I first choose to root it. There is a topic here on xda that also says so.
Try a google search and you will find heaps of results of people flashing 9300 firmware onto the 9300t

Thanks for the information, it's really helpful. :good: Anyway, are you using the I9300T too ?
So does 850mhz networks are better than the normal s3 ? Or it is worse ?
I think I will not risk to flash the firmwares, but I'll try t flash some custom ROMs into it.
Thank you. :laugh:
Yes I have it, If you are indoubt its usually best not to do it until you are sure.
No it depends on what tech your telco has used to built their networks and we have no choice in it
