Any need to take the mick?
I can read thank you!
I'm sure there are many things you may not know the answer too I'm simply asking for advice not looking for a keyboard junkie to protest!
So I will look to learn Odin flash.
I have downloaded latest Odin
I have downloaded kites for samsung.
Where is the best place to get the software I need to put on phone(rom kernel )
Many thanks

Goto Settings/more settings/mobile networks, check that your APN is configured correctly for your network provider. You can normally find the correct settings on their website or via Google. Probably best to reboot afterwards

please I need your help..

hello guys..^_^
how are you.. I hope all things are good with you ^_^
actually I have a problem with my GS2
first thing I want to tell that I had decided to change my rom from odex to deodex one..
I had looking for a good one amd I found that Gangsbread is the best..but it doesn't work with my rom which is JPKF2 so that I had to change it to XXKH3 " a raw rom".. so I downloaded it and tried to flash it on my phone but it didn't work..
and I tried to switch my GS2 on but it doesn't work
I've downloaded the JPKF3 raw rom and tried to flash it.. and this what happened to me every time I tried to did it "the pics is within the attached files"~_~
I did with a different roms wuth a count of 33 but it doesn't success.. *_*
and now I have a message on my GS2 screen saying that..“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again”
please can I do anything to fix it ?
thanks for your time
You've put kernel on bootloader option?
You were supposed to download a .tar file, select it on PDA and flash, no re-partition

Asad4334 did you actually read the thread that JJ asked you to do. I would stop trying to use the files you download and get your stock rom for your phone and reflash that so you are back to the state when your phone was working. Those other files do not even look like GS2 firmware or kernel files.

Hmm Asad I think the files you initially used may right royally screwed your phone. They look like they were SGS1 phone files. If they were then I think your phone will require JTAG repair.
Let's hope there are more people with better knowledge can help you.

I think you can forget about the Deodexed Rom for now. You need to get back to stock. Looking at the pics you submitted. You may end up having to go Service Centre and have it Repaired. Be prepared to pay for the repair as well.

Like a stooge even though I didnt really know what i was doing I tried to put on ICS on my phone and replaced the PHONE, PDA, BOOTLOADER AND CSC files on my phone using odin 1.8 and i really hate my phone right now it barely works, I have been on the net and mainly this forum all day but all the links/downloads arent working, can somebody please tell me where i can download the stock firmware/kernel whatever it is called for my phone with Vodafone Australia, thank you so much in advance, thanks.
download from http://www.samfirmware.com/

At the risk of repeating myself for the 8,921,764th time...If you want the original stock firmware that came with the phone, search Samfirmware.com & follow whatever instructions they have for firmware downloaded from their site.
If you're happy with the latest stock firmware (which might be the same as the firmware which was on the phone when you bought it), get the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google). This will enable you to download the latest firmware available for your phone model/country/carrier that you'd normally get via OTA update with Kies. If you do choose this, flash the firmware package you download following the instructions here.

No service/network after Root + Custom Rom Install - PLEASE HELP ME.

I have an S3 i9305 4g lte version, on orange network uk. I rooted the phone using CWM. Then installed the Panorama ROM, using the guide on here. And yes i have used the search function, followed pretty much every guide there is. Still no solution. Im beginning to think my phone will forever be caught up with this problem
on top of there being no service. The phone itself has started to randomly turn off, and also lags!
I regret rooting lol just wasn't meant to be.
Can anyone help me? Literally, I would be so grateful if someone can actually help me fix this problem. I basically just want my network service back, regardless of unrooting or not.
Thanks a million in advance!

[Q] What Stock Firmware to Flash?

Hi all. I would like to keep my stock firmware up to date on my rooted S3, but have a few questions about this. From what I can tell the easiest way to do this seems to be by downloading the newest firmware (say from SamMobile) and using Odin to push it to the phone (since I can't use OTA updates and Kies refuses to connect to my phone). What confuses me about the stock firmware for this phone are the different country/carrier codes. Do I need to be concerned with using one from a different country than me (I'm in the US), or are they just generic firmwares that can be used by any country? SamMobile shows a bunch of new firmwares for the S3 released in February but they all have different country/carriers, what's the point of this? Currently my phone is running baseband version I9300XXELL4 which doesn't seem to coincide with the US, which I guess is also part of what is confusing me.
Thanks for your help!

i do not have the answer for that since i am just new in flashing roms.
but i know it is ok to use a rom from another country regardless of what country you are in.

Modem may or may not be better CSC has local area network settings .
Simple is that you flash a firmware and if you have network problems you try a diffrent modem .

I've checked my CSC and it comes up as unknown - is this an issue or does this need to get fixed before I update my firmware? My phone works fine right now. Also, how do you try a different "modem". Do you mean just flash a different version of the firmware?
Believe me I have checked every sticky in the I9300 forum and none of them explain the difference between the different stock firmwares. None of those links are helpful .

Suggestion is that you actually start at the beginning and learn .
Start by reading the unhelpful links which you have failed to bother to read .

Wow, I come here to politely ask one question (essentially) and this is what I get. In case you have issues reading, read this: I have read every single sticky thread in its entirety (something it seems you haven't done, might I add) and none of them answer the question I am asking. I'm not asking you to "spoon feed" me and hold my hand through rooting my phone or how to use Odin (since all of that info is on sticky threads). I am simply asking what the difference is between stock firmwares that have different country codes. If you cannot answer that, please do not waste my time by responding to this thread. It would do you well to read my entire first post before giving me answers to questions I did not ask to begin with.

Need a quick answer. Long story short: I rooted my Phone with CF-Root>Want to Un-root>Found a firmware (XXEMA2)>Downloaded it but, I am not sure that it's the right version for my GT-19300?>I typed *#1234# *To check my firmware*>It displays:
Version:
AP: 19300XXEMA2
CP: 19300XXELLA *Or was it this?*
CSC: 19300JVEMA1
So...Did i downloaded its official firmware or it was the (XEELLA) firmware i should have downloaded? Sorry for the english, English is not my first language. I just wanted to make sure, That i have downloaded the right version for my "Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300)" and would it be safe to flash it with this firmware, I downloaded? Thank you for taking your time for answering my question. It will be much appreciated.

But "Region" matters, right? I download this firmware because i couldn't find (XXELLA) Firmware [Region: Pak]. So i did some research but, I only found this firmware which was from my Region. So would it be safe to flash this firmware or should i find the (XXELLA) Firmware for my S3 (GT-I9300)? *Which i can't seem to find*. Thanks for quick response.

So would it be safe to flash this firmware or should i find the (XXELLA) Firmware for my S3 (GT-I9300)? *Which i can't seem to find*. Thanks for quick response.

Region doesn't matter, only if you want ota updates you need a matching region and csc if I am not wrong. But anyway you can flash any new version via Odin as well, hence I wouldn't bother with it.

As i listed up there "[PAK]" that means [Pakistan] "Region". I am not sure what firmware is needed? The one i downloaded or the other one that i can't seem to find. Please don't tell me to go to "Sammobile.com" because i can't acces it i don't know why...Vola, now i can acces "Sammobile.com" *Wierd, it wasnt opening a few hours ago but now it did* So anyways, Its not about Downloading the firmware i just want the QUESTION TO BE PROPERLY ANSWERED Which is *That did i downloaded the Right Firmware Or should I download the Other Firmware?* The question is so simple why you people can't seem to understand it? Are you guys even staying at topic? The question is not about "What firmware i need to download", The question is "What firmware is to be used to RE-return to my Stock Firmware, I had". I will wait for 'Senior member' to reply, Anyways thank you guys.

First of all. For someone who is looking for help your tone is offensive and discouraging to those that might be able to help. If the question is indeed so simple as you ask then why are you asking the question in the first place.
Second of all, the reason people ask you to look at sammobile is because you can select the region that you are in and/or bought the handset from and would be able to check for yourself if you have indeed downloaded the correct firmware for Pakistan.
Sammobile is down at the minute and will be back up at any minute. They Tweeted this 20minutes ago.

I apologise if i have misunderstood what you have wrote but it is just how what you have wrote comes across.
Anyway, was your phone branded or unbranded when you bought it?
I have just had a think aswell. If you want to revert to complete stock unrooted, you could do it using kies firmware/update utility under tools. If you type the model as GT-I9300 and enter your device serial number (under battery, not imei) and connect your phone in download mode, kies will flash the correct firmware that that device shipped with.
I would help with the correct version but sammobile is still down and that is the site to help pinpoint the correct version details which you are asking for.

No need to apologize, I was bit harsh there for which i apolgize to you all. To the topic: I would try Samsung Kies, but the software crashes my (Window's) which unfortunately, I had to uninstall it. Well, i can wait untill the 'Sammobile' website is up again. Sorry for my english, If you are not clear with anything, Please ask freely.

if you are having kies issues, try uninstalling, restart you computer, and then reinstall by right clicking and selecting "run as administrator" it usaully does the trick for me.

There is no other way around? I have issues with my PC too, I dont have spare "Windows CD" So i am afraid if something happens, I will lose all my data. I know about Backup and stuff, But it will probably take alot more time.

Here is the firmware information for a stock unbranded Pakistan GT-I9300. This is what would have been shipped on the device when it was manufactured.
Product Code: GT-I9300MBDPAK
Version: Android 4.0.4
HIDSWVER: I9300XXALE9/I9300OJVALE9/I9300XXLE8/I9300XXALE9
I can not find the latest update for your region atm. But this firmware would be the right one for your region.
It is ICS though. you could install this and then OTA update your device.

In the link I've posted if you search you wok find a link to Pakistan firmware. If your device is a Pakistan unbranded Rom then that file will restore a complete stock system.
Before you flash, turn off your phone and hold volume dwn, home and power. Then press the up arrow once in download mode. Look at the Flash count abs make sure it's 0 or reads stock or official next to the status. If it doesn't reboot your phone and use triangle away which is in the forum and remove the Flash count. Then Flash your rom via odin.
