Hey all,
So I have rooted my SGS3 and installed Note II camera mod. Now I connected my phone to KIES, and a firmware upgrade popped up, but I wasn't sure if i should do it. What exactly does it change?
Depends on what firmware it is.
See details in stock rom threads.
As per basics update via kies breaks root

Hi everyone
I am gonna buy a galaxy s3 this week and i want to know some things about rooting the device
I have worked with odin and i know how it works
And i used odin once to root my friends galaxy s.(using chainfire)
But for galaxy s,chaonfire created different pda files based on the region
But for this phone i saw that there is only one pda file (for all regions)
So here is my question:
Is this version of cf-root (the one for galaxys 3 i men)
Region independent? I mean won't i loose any languages?
And by the way,after rooting,is it possible to update the phone using kies or using ota updates?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Ota no updates. Kies possible updates.Root information all in Development section.

Actually, Chainfire says in the first few posts of his CF root thread that it does support OTA (but will need to re flash CF root afterwards)

Thanks for your answer
But you didnt answer my first question
Is this version of cf root region free?
The S3 CF-root is for any firmware provided your phone is either GT-I9300 or GT-I9300T
All the info in the first two posts anyway http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238

If i have a custom rom on my s3 would a factory wipe through kies be enough to wipe my device clean and go back to as it was fresh out the box?
If i was you,i will install stock firmware via pc Odin.
Find the firmware you want, make a full wipe via recovery to not keep your data from your custom ROM, go to download mode and install the firmware through pc Odin.
After that, your phone will be like out of box.

Hi all,
New here, so please go easy. I had a search around and am a bit lost in trying to find what I am looking for.
Hoping someone may be able to help me please.
Is there a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 unbranded ROM available for the 9305 (4G/LTE) model of the S3?
I have two GT-9305T's and want to get rid of the current the Australian Telstra ROM that's them.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Umm why post in the i9300 thread?? Please search before making a useless thread in the wrong forum thank you

Ausboy - look up top the directory is
"Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III General > [Q] Unbranded 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 Official ROM for 9305"
nodii - do you mean unbranded as in no service provider apps and boot screen?
This is a general thread. If your looking for ROMs look in the i9305 forum.. new users should read the rules!

From the wording of the post I imagine that he is looking for a stock Rom which makes general the place to ask. Well Q&A would have been better you have something against the OP?
And @OP check sammobiles. Com they list all stock ROMs for Samsung phones and offer downloads. Just look for the unbranded one.

Hi folks,
First off, I'm the noobest noob you'll have seen in a while , I swapped my iphone 4s yesterday for a galaxy s3, best decision I've made in a while tbh.
Today I rooted the phone using odin and all that, but the reason I rooted in the first place is still eluding me.
I want to debrand the phone and get rid of the boot screen and useless apps.
I've searched through the forums and internet and basically I'm just plain confused! If someone could explain to me the process or point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful. I just don't know certain things like can I flash using filles not for XXELLA etc.
For the record:
4.1.2.
XXELLA
Vodafone (me)
O2 (unlocked phone)
Thanks in advance :laugh:
Debranding is the process of flashing a stock rom that is unbranded. You would get this from sammobile.com (BTU is uk unbranded). You would flash via odin. Guides are all in general > sticky roll-up thread

First off thank you for the reply rootSU,
I just have two questions,
1. I can flash BTU even though I have an irish O2 phone yes?
2. Am I right in assuming tge BTU file must be XXELLA?
1) Yes but you may want the irish unbranded. Check the csc sticky in general for what that is
2) no? Flash the latest.

Just as an update after following your guidance I am now the owner of a de-branded SIII.
Just as an FYI addition I found through research that the BTU file covers both the UK and Ireland and was the one that worked.
Thank you again rootSU and I can only apologise for the fact I can only thank you once per post. :good::laugh:
No worries. I don't help for "thanks"

4.3 update for international i9300 for UK is available on sammobile.com.
Can we flash this rom in s3 in INDIAN devices?
