[Q] how to know witch is the stock firmware? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I flashed my i9300 several times. And now i'm on cyanogenmod 10.1.3 stable.
I'm noob, and i don't know witch is the stock original firmware.
How can i find?

Go to sammobile and look for your phone model and country, download the latest stock rom for your country. You don't need the original firmware.

I searched. But i didn't found. My box is writen in france. I think it's from france. I live in romania
It unbranded.

go to sammobile.com, select firmware and search for your device and carrier and it will show you what original firmwares are available.

I can' find my carrier. Orange romania. Only cosmote.
And france it's not listed
My phone worked with the stock in every europe country/carrier. That's what the box say's.

Alternately, you can use kies.
Without connecting your phone:
1) Go to emergency firmware recovery
2) Type in your model number
3) Type in your serial number
After that it will tell you the latest stock firmware for your phone.

True but he doesn't NEED that firmware to be covered by warranty. Having firmware in the wrong language would be detrimental. Suggest latest romanian unbranded

[Q] Kies won't update

My s2 came from Samsung service with this firmware:
I9100XWKI4/I9100OXXKI2/I9100XXKI1/I9100XWKI4(ODK)
and the message is Kies can't update it .
1.With my old Galaxy S I have only 3 references (pda/modem and CSC).With S2 I see 4 ref?
2.Why this kies message?
3.I have Vodafone Portugal. This is the last firmware(branded or not)?
Thanks for the help.
Look into www.sammobile.com to see if you're provider has a newer firmware posted or not, to begin with. If there is one, and kies is still screwing around, consider flashing with ODIN. The guides are all there, on the same website. You would not lose warranty if you've updated to your provider's own ROM (even the newer ones).

I seems to be some discrepancy here
Ideally Your Phone should have been Boxed with a branded firmware if you think it is not an international version. As far as Intratech's thread is concerned there is no Branded firmware for Portugal Vodafone. But in FUS Web version there is (Check attached Pic) ..... say if your phone is branded you need to flash a branded firmware but the firmware you have mentioned is on your phone is a generic one which pertains to entire Europe (the XW in front of the PDA version KI4). What i think is that you have an unlocked international phone. I think before flashing anything you need to verify what kind of phone you have better go to service center or get in touch with one of the devs post in Intratech's thread for branded firmware and he'll be able to get you to identify the type of phone you have.

[Q] Dont know which firwware is this??

Can anybody help me to identify which firware is this and where is this from?? I brought it from Dubai but in order to root it, i cant find this firmware in any of the XDA forums.

You don't need to know what firmware it is to root it. Just follow the stickies in the development section by flashing recovery with odin, then a rooted rom.
Also make sure your phone model number is GT-I9300. If it's not, you don't have the international version.
You can use Chainfire's CF-root, regardless of the firmware version,

Connect to the Keis, then check your firmware version,
see the code given after the CSC in the bracket is your region,
eg: PDA:LE9 / PHONE:LE8 / CSC:LE9 (XSG)
XSG is the code for UAE,
I think you have purchased the phone from an unautharized dealer, normally the phones (SGS3) shipped in the Middle East are with the above mentioned version as my phone has got.

Thanks for your help. Yes, the phone is not from an authorized dealer. Kies says the firmware as:
PDA:LF5 /PHONE:LF5/ CSC:LE3 (EUR)

CSC relevance

When I connect my S3 to Kies, it shows the following firmware : PDA:LH9 / PHONE:LH9 / CSC:LH9 (BTU) [Am running the JB leaks]
I bought my S3 internationally, so that is probably why the firmware is the UK version.
However, I live in India. So, my question is, when the official JB comes out, will I be able to update my S3 to that from Kies after removing root & resetting the Flash counter from Stock ROM ?? But will I also have to change the CSC code to India to be able to update from India or just flashing the Indian 4.0.4 firmware from Sammobile will be good enough. I don't really have much idea about CSC, so please forgive me if it's a stupid question.
Sorry, if this already been asked before, but I couldn't find any info upon searching.
Thanks
The CSC isn't relevant at all. You can go to http://sammobile.com or even http://androidfirmwares.net and look for the relevant Multi-CSC ROM. Now saying this is don't know what's the CSC code for your region if one exists but it won't make a difference what you flash because there's no differences.

Grab your stock Rom from sammobile original and why not new JB when it comes out for your exact provider. I'd flash it with mobile odin pro and keep everoot. Counter will be 0, status will be normal. Need warranty remove traces of root unroot and you're done.

[Q] Need a help with ROM thing

Hello, I've a question.
I'm on ROM I9300XXEMF6, but before I was on I9300XXELLA I'm living in Egypt, I don't know which ROM I should install, I provided Kies my S/N for an Emergency recovery, it removed XXELLA and downloaded the MF6 ROM (The original ROM which worked on my device properly since I bought it was XXELLA). My question is: Do I have to download the ROM from the manufacturing country or my regional area? If regional area please send me an EGY ROM to work on Vodafone as I know XXELLA is an old one and 3G/Edge doesn't work anyways. Thanks.

[Q] Original Firmware of the Phone

How can I find out what was my original firmware when I bought the phone. I flashed MG4, the latest one for S3 but KIES claims that my current firmware version is not supported to update via KIES. I saw somewhere that you can restore it with the help of S/N but can't understand how.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
GT-I9300 and your country. If you had unbranded version then it's unbranded, if not select proper branded one.
There's no other way to determine what you have, especially if you overwrited bootloader with other pure-stock flashed via Odin.

you can find it via kies.. for that :
1. switch off your phone, pullup the battery and note the serial no.(no mistake should be made)
1. Open kies and than go to Tools>>Firmware Upgrade and Initialization in kies.( you don't even have to connect your phone to do this)
2. Enter the model no as: GT-I9300 (no mistake should be made, everything should be in capital letters, you can copy this one)
3. It will ask you for S/N (serial no.), enter the one you noted in first step.
Thats it, it will tell you the CSC code(country code) and other informations(i have attached screenshot of mine), the one inside bracket like in my screenshot TTT is the country code. Than you can check in Sammobile for the the firmware and find out the original firmware which was when you bought the phone.

I tried it. But it still gave me MG4 CSC, PHONE and PDA. After flashing it I got LaFleur boot logos and LaFleur wallpapers. That's strange since my phone is not White but Grey.

So did you checked for country code in sammobile, what older firmware are listed there?
My country isn't listed there somehow. As I remember when I connected my device via kies the day I bought it the csc was BTU or something that starts with B. Tho PDA was different.
Can't find my country there. Also my phone is Unbranded
Why don't you try flashing the MG4 one from kies, maybe it detects then... and can you tell your CSC code??

Check my product code is GT-I9300TADCOA , It's Tele2 from Croatia and I bought the phone from Tele2. So it think that's it.
- EDIT -
No use, still not recognized in Kies. Also the TELE2 firmware from Croatia (GT-I9300RWATWO) is a mismatch to mine GT-I93000TADCOA. And I can't find SEB firmware at Sammobile. Could you link it to me?
