I know there's other threads for this probably, but now that navifirm is shut down, how does one go about flashing firmware on the 920 to unbrick it? Thank you very much in advance.

stop panicking, try reading generic stock or 3 uk from intratech thread.
I will just unbrand it and play dumb I guess, thanks mate
**edit** there seems to be older stock 3 firmware in there, perfect will use that!
try asking Intratech in the thread here . he's a nice guy and i'm sure he will help you if he can.

Hi,
I don't know its already being asked but here I go:
I'm using a Galaxy S3 with the official stock rom (that is the LUX from Belgium)
Today I've contacted Samsung to ask when the next update will be available and they say that it isn't soon.
Now I'm doubting to flash the stock rom for the UK.
But I don't know anything about flashing the radios etc.
And what are the pro's and cons?
Thanks

Cons you may brick your phone you may void warranty you may not understand the process if you cannot follow instructions .
Pros you update to whatever firmware you want when you want .
But as this is not a Samsung forum but XDA Developers forum waiting for official releases is not what we are about .

Thank you for you answer.
And I do understand that its not waiting for the release
Do you know what the ods are to get bricked? I flashed phones in the past so I know a little bit.
Will there be a problem when I flash the UK version that I can't use my mobile internet etc?

I've read it and it was very helpfull.
But I've still got the same questions.
Whats the chance my phone will be bricked?
And will I be able to use mms, internet, etc... or do I need to flash/chance the csc?
Thanks
The more reluctant you are to read, the greater the chance of bricking, but the S3 is pretty bomb proof, and don't confuse hard brick with soft brick!

Ok thanks for your help. :good:
Ok I would of thought the guide to rooting the hox+ would of been on a sticky thread. As it is not i went searching but have so far come up blank. I am very new to android as i have been stuck in the windows world for quite some time now. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. Or am i being a real idiot and it should be a case of going to the htc website unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom rom? If so does anyone have a simple guide to flashing a rom and any idea of the most stable that still has beats etc. Thank you.

Ok a friend S3 started acting up I didn't back up so I lost anything
When I tried to put back the original firmware on the phone using Odin for no reason at all will it be installed. It will just stick on Nand writing in the bottom part of the screen and nothing on tp part of the screen that would usually show FIL, PASS etc.
Next thing with some other firmwares the blue loading bar on the phone will go to basically 100% but nothing will happen on the phone
I did get on 2 firmwares, one just kept booting to the Samsung logo then go in a revolving boot sequence with the animation coming up, the other firmware I got on seems like it belonged to some other phone company and after their boot screen comes up and the Samsung's logo come on the screen it will just stay there.
In both cases the phone was left after installation on both screens for hours with no success.
All I want to do is put back on the 4.12 JB T mobile version enter unlock code and give back to my friend
Can I get some assistance please thanks

Take out the battery and post the model number here.
Factory reset to get past the forever spinning Samsung logo. The Odin fails are probably due to incorrect firmware.
GT-I9300
I've been trying to get a firmware for that. And how do i get it to the point of factory reset option?
thanks

You should stick to that forum before someone doesn't read this thread and answers with a link to our firmware which will brick your device.
It should be in there somewhere. Did you read the stickies? Like aerowinder said, all tour future questions need to be posted in that forum. We know very little about your device here.
You can find all samsung firmware at samsung-updates.com

Well that forum is specifically for your device. Use what you find in this forum and youre destined for a brick.
If you were to ask this question there you would get answers from people who are familiar with the device you have. Ours is very different.

According to this you are working on an International i9300 S3 I will move your thread to the correct forum as to not confuse other users here, or have someone here give you the wrong links to software that may brick your device.
Thread moved.
The op can post what the problem is here please if its an I9300 .
I9300 Basics read first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344125
Critical you read the first two posts .
Hello,
one of my friends got her S3 stuck in a boot loop, it can go into recovery and it is detected by odin. So I thought I could just flash the official firmware and this may fix it.
I went over to sammobile but they changed something with the firmware section since the last time I was there.. I can't find older firmware.
The phone is I9300 and I am looking for the latest firmware for Egypt.
Do you guys have any idea what I should do?
Alternatively, I am trying to save the data here, do you know of any non wipe firmware? I am trying to get her phone up without losing data.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks!
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
If you want the latest firmware then just download it from Sammobile.com, you will have to factory reset before it will boot.

I have looked into the Q&A but I didnt feel my question falls in there, as Q&A is mainly about the S3.
I have looked at the threads containing a collection of official firmware but nothing related to Egypt.
I did my search before I post. I could not reach a desirable result that is why I asked.
Apart from that, thank you for your answer. I hope someone else can help me with an answer that will resolve my problem.
Thank you.
Note: funny thing about your quote, I already mentioned I looked in Sammobile and didnt find Egypt. Missed to read that?

You don't need to install an Egyptian firmware on your friends S3. You can basically install any firmware made for the GT-i9300. Doesn't matter from what country it says its from.

I didn't miss reading that, it was irrelevant as you had missed the basics issue. Don't ignore the posting rules, they do apply to you.
Tovagulet - Thank you
boomboomer - I apologize if I missed the posting rules. Again, I didn't feel my question fit.
