Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GTi9300 and would like to root it (don't we all)
I just looked up the Baseband and Build number and found that it is using a Brazilian ROM, most odd since I bought this as sim free and unlocked from Amazon UK
The Baseband version is I9300UBELL1
The Kernel version is 3.31-789635
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 4 19:59:29 KST
2013
The Build number is
JZO54K.I9300UBEMA1
My question is can I use a BTU rooted rom GT-I9300-BTU-I9300XXEMC2 to replace the Brazilian one I have?
Will this work on my phone or do I have to download and install the rooted brazilian version of this rom?
Cheers
Basically all ROM out there is universal to galaxy s III unless the DEVer says it otherwise.
Just be careful with all those variants as American / Canadian S3, S3 international, S3 LTE. etc.
But in this case we are talking about International version which is GT-i9300
And actually, root it means put su binary and superuser control apps into system, it is not ROM related.

As long as the ROM is for the I9300/I9300T version of the SIII and you got an I9300/I9300T you can flash them, independent from which country they are. The only thing you might want to look at, if the ROM comes with a baseband from another country, is to maybe flash a baseband of your region (in case reception gets worse).
Read the FAQ for guides on how to flash, root, unroot etc.
And what is your point.? If your phone is working properly you dont have to care where your rom is.
Elsewhere to root you have guides on xda. And root has nothing to do directly with your problem you can flash à stock rom And modem with odin.

The phone works fine I was just concerned that OTA updates would be for Brazil and not UK so figured I would put correct version of rom on my phone, I already downloaded I9300XXEMC2_BTU_i9300 from sam mobile.
Still find it odd tham Amazon.co.uk are selling the phones with non UK rom but it seems this doesn't matter
Thanks for help anyway, I am going to investigate other options mentioned in this post :fingers-crossed:

I wasn't sure if updates etc would work properly on OTA as I have a Brazilian rom
I had an S1 before this and only had phone a few days, my S1 was flashed with a custom rom, but baseband was always the same.
I want to root this so I can get native emocions by dropping the fonts in the relevant directory and also so I have a wider choice of what I want to run in the future regarding custom roms

OTA updates the firmware you have if its Brazil then thats the update BTU then that's the update .
OTA will not update on rooted phones use Kies instead .

Baseband and CSC are two different things, don't worry about the CSC too much as said earlier, you only need to if you want OTA updates when unrooted . Baseband = modem.

Usually all basebands are compatible with every rom (as long as you choose the correct android version). Hence just try and see if you reception is ok, otherwise flash a different one, there is a thread on the general section for that.

Not kernel,What stock ROM/Firmware do you want??
If you only want the stock kernel then you will need to give us the original firmware you have on your phone.
unable to locate stock rom
I have recently purchased an sgs2 (actually came to my senses and swapped it for a blackberry) and have been scouring the forum for information on how to restore the rom to stock so I have a base to start from. I am new to Android so excuse my ignorance on this. If I do a *#1234# I get the following:
PDA: I9100XXKI3

I am based in South Africa and can use the phone as normal but it does currently seem to be a bit unstable and the Market Place crashes fairly regularly on the phone. My carrier is Vodacom South Africa and from research the ROM I have on the phone is a generic for Europe (not sure if this is relevant).
In Kies, there is a message that says updates cannot be done using KIES.
I have tried download the stock ROM from the links on the forum but multiupload.com seems to be down or has very high congestion.
HELP PLEASE!!!

The real question I have is which is the correct ROM to download? There is such a lot of information that I am totally confused now.
On all the posts I've seen so far the one to download for South Africa could be many different versions. What is the relevance of this information?
XWKI4
Firmware info
PDA:XWKI4
PHONE: XXKI1
Date: 14/09/2011
Android 2.3.4
What information do I use to determine the correct version of file to download. I am completely confused by the mass of information available, especially considering my phone is currently running what I assume to be XXKI3 which is non south african.
Could it be that my phone was originally purchased in Europe? If thisd is so should I be installing a version of ROM for that region or will any region do?
Bazilla said:

What firmware was on the phone originally or what firmware do you want .

Who knows ???
CSC: I910OXAKI3 but that reads as Polish CSC from memory .
Its normal to download the firmware for the location the phone is being used in .
Its also usual to download the latest version .
Its the CSC that gives local network details and the baseband /modem that may be changed if poor reception .
XILA2
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XILA2| Modem/phone: XXKL1| CSC: XEUKH2
Latest posted for the UK .
I would flash that enter network settings if needed manually .
CSC or modem can be changed later .
Note multiupload is closed down for good you will need a Google search or Sammobile .com for firmware .

This is a South African Firmware and although its 2.3.4 it contains the regional info (CSC) that you need to make it stable.Dont forget to do a factory reset after flashing.
Hello everyone
I bought the SGS2 I9100 (international version) off contract. The phone originally came with baseband version I9100XXKF3 and the language set to "English - U.K.". I am currently using an old Cognition build with baseband I9100XXKH3.
My question is, which ICS ROM should I install on my phone? I'm referring to stock or CFRoot roms only, I just don't want to install the wrong baseband rom on my phone. Also, I am on AT&T in the US and need to make sure that my phone and data services work after flashing.
Thanks for any help!

If the baseband you have works save it and pop it in your ICS if the baseband in that is not up to scratch .

What do you mean by that? If I flash an ics Rom, doesn't that set the baseband? I'm just trying to figure out which ics release I should use
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Basebands /modems are interchangeable for many locations .
Rom you are using now has a baseband if that works well note the version and you can flash one from the flashable modems thread if the ICS turns out to not have a suitable modem for your location .

Hi there! I hope someone can enlighten me. I've never been able to update my SII since I got it, now it's almost a year ago in Belgium (so I'm stuck with GB 2.3.3). KIES says I've got the latest firmware version, and I get the same thing via FOTA.
Now it seems as if ICS provides some battery saving, among some other features, so I'd like to update the firmware (at least for once!)
I would like to avoid rooting, flashing and so on... although it seems as that's the most practical way to follow
So, thanks a lot in advance to anyone who could help me

Last week I told a friend of ñine to try to update hers and she did it straight away through FOTA... and she had bought it only 6 months after me! What a bunch of wankers these Koreans!
friend of mine had the same problem with his s2, i found out his problem was caused by his phone being locked to a provider and because of this he had different kernel from me. he got update several months after me...
this because of provider's own extra apps on the phone...!

Look on www.sammobile.com/firmware for samsung firmware.Telia is not listed, also not on check fus. So i think you need this rom http://www.hotfile.com/dl/163050326/a3cfdf1/I9300XXBLFB_I9300NEEBLF1_NEE.zip.html for the Nordic countries. Install Triangle Away (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114) first before flashing the rom with Odin to reset the flash counter. After you flashed the rom do a data/factory reset. Check first if the above rom i mentionedis the right one.
Was reading abit more (do not want to be stucked with a broken phone doing my vacation), found this is the I9300XXBLG6 the newest firmware and does it work for us on Telia in Denmark?

Better check on Telia`s website for the latest firmware. You might flash the rom in your post, however you may have to change the modem for better reception.

If i flash the new firmware again, do i need to root the phone again or does it "keep" the root i made earlier... Sorry for all the stupid questions i'm an old iphone fart. :silly:
I tried to search for a sammy wiki or something to become a little more clever about rooting, rom and firmware.
As i see it:
The firmware is kinda the phone bios, doesnt matter if you running a hacked version of the system or not.
The ROM is the "system" it might be stock or cyanogen etc.
You have to have a hacked firmware to be able root your phone.... Or am i totally wrong here?

If you buy Mobile Odin Pro and flash the firmware with that app you will keep root and you don`t loose no data. If you flash with Odin on your pc you will loose root and your user data will probably be deleted.
The firmware i just linked is it not possible to root using that and odin nonpro? Do i have to use an older firmware then?

they are i9300t
I managed to root both of them. I know have a major problem. 1 of them had a problem with wifi. It couldnt connect. I read about a solution by copying the wifi folder from version 4.1.1. Tried that. It worked for once but after reboot it stopped. And now I can't even turn on the wifi. It gets stuck on Turning on... Do i have to reflash the rom again and if so how will i do that? It was stock rom on stock kernel. Only rooted. gt i9300t moder and build DUELL2.
Also can i flash a rom with different build over that? For example XXEMC2 that i have on my Greek galaxy s3?
I9300T rooting is the same as I9300 rooting, follow the guides of CF-Root 6.4 or CF-Autoroot. (I got a T model myself)
You can flash any I9300 rom also on the T model, therefore root is not 100% necessary. Full wipes are recommended for flashing different versions though.

just saw it .
For wifi, try a stock ROM (flash it new incl. wipes etc.), or try a different kernel, whereas the stock kernel should always work.

Can you tell me how i will flash a new stock rom on it? where can i find the stock rom and can i flash a different build?
DUELL2 is the current.

you can find (unrooted) stock roms for instance on sammobile.com or (rooted) stock roms here on XDA in the General section.
Easiest way to flash them is via Mobile Odin (gives you the option to keep root) or Odin (you will loose root but you can flash CF afterwards manually).
And yes you can flash any build that is made for the I9300/I9300T.
The only difference between both models is the frequency of the baseband (the T model is more optimized for 850mhz) whereas you even can use modems of the I9300 on the I9300T.

What do you mean by modems? Soz if I sound noob but I am new to Galasy s3. My previous android was ideos x5 and i had a miui rom on it.
The phone will be used in greece. Do you suggest me flashing the XXEMC2 rom that i have on my Greek S3 atm? Is there any chance of bricking it if i flash that rom on it?

There is a difference between the ROM's firmware (basically your OS, e.g. XXEMC2) and the modem (basically the part which gives you the connection to the next mobile tower and is managing the frequencies, e.g. DUELL2).
It does not matter that much what ROM firmware you use as they are nearly identical in each country (here and there dif. apps due to providers) but more that you use a modem that delivers in the country you are in. Hence, I would first try the modems of your region (you can find a list of all modems in the General section's modem collection).
Regarding the risk of bricking: there is always a risk, no one can guarantee you anything , whereas if you follow the guides you should be fine.

Ok. Here is the deal. My greek galaxy s3 which i recently updated is XXEMC2. The galaxy s3 with the wifi problem is DUELL2 bought in australia from a friend but will be sent to greece for my brother. So i should flash XXEMC2 on it? I just download XXEMC2 from sammobile and flash it with odin? It doesn't matter that the XXEMC2 is for i9300 as fas as I understood from what u said. right?

correct, you can use the I9300 versions of any rom for the I9300T as well.

Ok. So the CSC numbers that are different on lets say the DUELL2 and the XXEMC2 are not something to bother me right? I just download the XXEMC2 rom and flash it on the DUELL2 S3 and then I just will root it. right? Will the phone become i9300 after that procedure? or stay i9300t? So I know which file i should use to root it.
Soz for too many questions but the phone is not mine and I need to be sure for the procedure.

The firmware code (XXEMC2) should not be of concern.
The modem code (DUELL2) should be of concern IF you experience bad performance in the region you are. If so, flash a different modem and try it.
The phone will be an I9300T whereas in the menus it might tell you I9300, anyway there is no difference in the files to use.
For rooting, follow the guide, you can use CF-Root 6.4 (if you want a custom recovery) or CF-Autoroot (if you want to use stock recovery).

Thanks a lot mate. This helped a lot. I decided to go with the 4.1.1 version of its current region. Later if we see that it doesnt perform well here in greece we will flash the xxemc2 rom.
Ok i downloaded the rom from sammobile and the file name is this I9300TDUDLK1_I9300ZZZLK1_VAU.zip but i get an error message that says cannot open. file unknown or damaged :/ Why is that? Is this file meant to be named as md5?

To flash a rom via odin you need the md5 file, correct. Hence unzip or if you cannot maybe the download is corrupt?

The zip file was probably corrupted. we will download the greek version XXELLA after al...l. Cross fingers for success
btw should i make an efs backup to be surr???
and how can i do that?
Will this http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-backup-restore-efs-imei-tool-122078/ work?
I did it on my greek galaxy s3 and ended up witha 20mb efs.img

Yes, definitely backup your efs! Search for it and you will find tons of guides.
