Odin to 4.1.2 UCMD8 (which can be found in @creepyncrawly's download repository)
Happy flashing.

The latest Android version for the S2 is unfortunately only 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. Follow the above post to get back to that.

Really?
1.) Perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery. If you have a custom recovery, also wipe cache and dalvik cache.
2.) Use Odin3 v1.85 (or any version really) to flash the UCMD8 tar.md5 file which you can download from the bottom of the page in the Download Repository.
3.) If you want to root, the Framaroot tool is the easiest.
4.) If you want custom recovery use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct version of AJK v4.9 kernel.

[Q] Galaxy S3 Stock Rom

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there is somehwere I can download the Official rom from.
I installed cyanogen mod 9 on my S3 using clockwork recovery mod and it wiped my backup.
I have tried sammobile but the problem is I need it for version: I9300XXLH1. I am located in Australia.
While on the topic, I have a friend who is using a S3. Could I possibly install CWM and copy a backup off his phone?
Please help, I miss all my features haha.
The official stock rom does not exist .
Many official roms .
CHECKFUS is probably your best method .
Could I possibly install CWM and copy a backup off his phone?
Probably .

Why don't you just flash the JB rom with Odin that was released yesterday.
After that, go into stock recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset and you're good to go.

leaked official 4.1.2 ????
just go sammobile website search and download for your country if you want
else flash any country version also okay
Just use kies, it's safer and easier...
About how much percent ODIN can fail in flashing rom to s3? Still didnt receive updates on KIES so i want to flash it via ODIN. Also how many time ddoes it take for ODIN to complete flashing??
Get the galaxy s3 toolkit. It includes odin and a copy of the stock recovery you can flash.
Flashing the recover with odin takes under a minute. Flashing a complete rom with odin takes about 5 minutes maximum.

0% fail if you follow the instruction
just need samsung kies (you need the usb driver, not kies because install samsung kies will automatically install the driver also)
and odin and the ROM (in .tar or .tarmd5, depends, confirm is end with .tar and put in pda
and take less than 10 minutes
flashed my s3 via mobile ODIN pro and it worked like a charm.....
Finally flashed my phone, but with mobile ODIN pro. My question is how to get the 4.2 camera on jelly bean 4.1.2 XXELKC. ? Thanx for all your help guys. ..
Flash a custom rom with the mod .
See Android Development Omega rom for one .
Or find the files and push them yourself to the custom rom .
Have a look in Themes and apps and see if its also posted as a standalone mod .

It depends upon the instructions for that rom you need to read them .
But CWM recovery flash is the norm for most custom roms .

Stock Recovery
If you just want the Stock Recovery for example for OTA, just flash the stockrecovery.tar via ODIN. Even I don't like using ODIN too much, but it's a million times better than Kies and easy to use. I personally recommend using ODIN on the PC if possible and avoid Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin is only if you don't have a PC or really need to do something on the go. It's a great app but don't use it all the time. And I'm not sure about this but I think by just flashing the Recovery you won't loose root nor Data, so you save a lot of time!
Only crappy thing with Odin is that it needs TAR and I don't know how to make those excpet with Toolbox. Does anybody know an easy way to make a flashable tar on windows without toolbox or cygwin (linux).

mega bass beat option
I've read about the "flashing mega bass beat option to s3" and it says
-- install zip from sdcard
-- chose zip from sdcard
-- wait for installation to complete
-- wipe cache partition
-- wipe dalvik cache
-- wipe fix permissions
The question is: what will happen if I didn't wipe the dalvik cache?
Do I really need to wipe it?

How to come back to official android 4.2.2 ?

Hi. I want to 1. delete everything on my phone like was on the day whe i bought it and 2. come back to official android 4.2.2 and get updates like before root. Now i have 4.2.2 XELKB Carbon. How can i do this ? And you thing official 4.2.2 ill be better then XELKB or whats different between this and official ?
There is no "official" android 4.2.2 for the S3 yet, you'd have to go back to 4.1.2.
Look for Odin guides on how to flash Official ROMs, they are all over the forum

Going back to original state means unrooting your phone and installing your correct stock ROM. Go to sammobile.com download the correct stock ROM. I.e. was it branded before you rooted your phone? Or is it i9300 (unbranded international version). One you got your ROM download Odin. Don't worry about the versions for your stock or Odin. Turn your phone off. start Odin on PC. Connect your phone to PC put your phone in download mode (power+volume down+home). You'll see your phone connected in Odin. Select PDA in Odin. Then select the downloaded ROM from Sam mobile. Click start. It'll un root your phone and install the original ROM. Once installed you may need to go into recovery (volume up+home+power) and wipe cache. Once booted normal your phone will connect to internet and starts updating it self.
Caution: download the correct rom for your phone.
Run into any prob. Let us know here.

and don't ask questions in General
So where can i ask ?
For now i want to delete everything what i have on my phone ( internal storage ). Everything like i bought but i want to stay with my ROM for now. How can i delete/clean everything ?

If you don't have a exSdCard. Connect your phone to pc and upload into internal card.
For complete wipe I personally use twrp recovery. It has simple option of wiping things. Then also help to install anything you want. You can also find odin version of any rom you want as rootsu said above. But remember flashing rom increase your binary counter.and always read about the rom you want to flash if it is compatible with your phone model or you can end up with a brick.

Flashing RR

Hi guys, i just got a S2 from a relative of mine and i'm quite new to the flashing and stuff for S2. P.S (My previous device was much more easier).
And so i decided to try out RR (Resurrection Remix). I was on 4.1.2 stock, so i tried to root via, both, Siyah and Dorimanx. After rooting them, boot up, i then proceed on to flash RR and GAPPS. But it didn't work. So, how do i exactly go about flashing RR?
Did i do something wrong? Can someone help me a bit?

Yes m8. Make sure you read the install instructions on the OP of the rom. Cyanogenmod you flash the rom then wipe data where with neatrom you wipe data first. If you have to wipe data after flash dont select the option to wipe all data to install a new rom. Philz kernal is only for samsung stock/based roms so dont put on RR. When you flash RR it will put their kernal on during flash.

If so just download the rom, place it on you sd card, boot into recovery and follow the steps in my previous post.

[i9100] - How is the best way to get to CM12.1 for my device?

Hi Guys,
I've just put in a new motherboard as my old one eventually died and it's current details are:
Model: GT-i9100
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband: I9100XXLPH
Build Number: IML74K.XXLPH
There is an update available which I assume is an update for JellyBean 4.1.
How/What is the best route to get this phone from it's current ROM to CM12.1?
Am I correct in thinking I should update it to Jellybean 4.1 then flash a pit file (I91001GB_6GB.pit) with CWM (CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip) and then just wipe the storage & install CM12.1 via CWM?

BE CAREFUL!!! 4.0.3 IS AFFECTED BY BRICK BUG!!!
If you want to avoid this bug then flash cm12.1 follow this steps in line
1. Flash any 4.1.2 stock rom via odin (you possibility hard BRICK device if you skip this step)
__________________________________________
Follow abc steps if you want to re-partition your device
If you done this steps you can skip 2 and 3
1a. Tick re-partition box in odin and pick your favorite pit file
1b. Put your KitKat kernel in pda section
1c. Press start.. Btw you should start praying too. Re-partitioning is a risky operation.
1d. Wait for recovery and skip to 4th step
_______________________________________
2. Flash any cwm/twrp supported kernel for your stock rom via odin or 3e recovery. (Ex: Apolo 14.15b)
3. Flash any KitKat supported kernel via your recovery (Ex: Apolo 7.3)
4. Flash cm12.1 and gapps
And you're done!
First boot takes up to 15 minutes you have to wait

I don't trust ota. Because I never updated stock rom via ota since my galaxy ace days But I highly recommend odin way.
Steps 2-3-4 is OK. You can do this way
