Hi I got the samsung galaxy s3 when i bought the mobile it was rooted but its unbranded as there were no logos on the mobile or on the mobile box. I unrooted the mobile and reset the binary counter back to 0, the firmware i installed than was original firmware from sammobile website, but later i found the firmware was customized and it wasn't complete. Finally I installed Samsung Kies and used the option of firmware upgrade and initialisation to restore my device to factory settings but when my mobile switched back on i was surprised to see s3 got firmware with vodafone settings, my mobile is simfree but now im not sure. can anyone please help me how i can get the original firmware on my s3 and samsung kies will recognize my device as after upgrade and initialisation when i connect the device to my pc i get the message samsung does not support the firmware and i cannot get firmware upgrade from kies.
really need help to sort it out.
First you need to determine what model the phone is. This can easily be determine under Settings>about device>Model number
If it says GT-I9300, then you have the international version, if not then google whatever it displays then it will tell you what version you have. depending on which version you have, you will need to go to the respective forum and download a ROM. Install this Rom in recovery mode (this is explained in another thread in Q&A)

Hello. I am new here so I will ask maybe a noob question. I bought a Galaxy S3 and then I downloaded the official Jelly Bean from samfirmwares for my country (Slovakia). I rooted it but it seemed a little laggy sometimes so I searched for it and I found out that almost everyone's S3 after update is lagging but if you do firmware initialization and upgrade trough Kies it will fix it. So i connected to Kies but it says that my device is unsupported. It might be because I was rooted so I did a factory reset and flashed again the official version from samfirmwares but Kies still says that my device is unsupported. When I go to download mode it says that it is samsung official but current version is custom although I didn't root. Any tips how can I get my device to work with Kies? Thanks for any tips

If you rooted your device before, it'll remember that in Odin mode.
Buy the mobile Odin app from Chainfire (requires root), use that to reset the counter. Then Kies should be able to update your firmware
Hope I could help!

follow the guide in the stickies!
to get fully back to stock you need to reset the counter (yours shows 1), flash stock recovery etc., all discussed 10 times in the guides.
---edit: here you go
I am currently having problems with a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 that is not reading a simcard. After dialling *#06# the imei came up as null/null. After further research I figured out to get the flash counter/odin mode up and it says;
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
I bought the phone this way and I don't know how to fix it.
Also if my phone was on 3 mobile and I rooted it with a Vodafone root would my phone then be on Vodafone?
Thanks a Million,
