Did you check IMEI number?

Now I put 4.3 back and I have no problem with network and the IMEI is the original one.
It's possible to find this version? I9300MBDORO
I didn't use custom rom, only official stuff.
I need 4.1.2 back because if something happend with phone i have warranty and i think i can't take the pone to service with another firmware.

You can use a XEU Firmware or the O2 UK Firmware, check the Firmware-Thread here in the Forum =>

I also have the same problem. I have bought my phone in Switzerland and live in France. I bought my phone on my own (it is not included in any contracts). Can I just take XWKJ2 Firmware from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and tick PDA, Phone and CSC in Odin to reset my phone and have it working with Kies?
Easiest way is use an app called "checkfus" from the market. It's free.
Basically checkfus can search the same servers as kies does and find the latest firmware available from your carrier.
Then go to intratechs official carrier firmware thread and download the version that checkfus told you was the latest for your carrier.
Flash this via Odin following intratechs instructions.
Use a USB jig to get rid of any flash counter. Sets it to official firmware with 0 flash counter.
If you want at this stage you can do a wipe if you don't want any data on your phone.
At this point your phone will be as if you just unboxed it. kies should work and everything.
Hope this helps.

I have the same question for my I9300 / Galaxy S3.
I'd like to thank all the people that posted an answer, but point out there is no answer.
I want to know if there is any way for me to find out what my original firmware was. And is there a way for a service center to check if the firmware matches the imei or serial number?
As long as its official Samsung firmware(and probably for your region) what do they care.

Kies has this option build-in. Just select initialize device from menu or something like that, than enter you phone serial number and model name and voila.
It will tell you what original factory firmware was preinstalled and even flash it if you like.

I know my phone is from poland. polish was the default language for my fone. Later my phone got bricked, So I had to flash it. Wen i searched it in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 I saw quite a few firmwares from poland. Tried XXLPQ and XXKI4. But the default language came as English UK . I think I flashed it with wrong firmware. I am confused with which CSC should be used. OXA or XEO .
Is there any chance to find the stock firmware with IMEI and S/N
S/N : RDZB913735Z
can you kindly check for me, wats the official firmware for my phone.
Thanks and Regards.
Allrigt I will check this but don't publish your IMEI here. PM me.
Poland have XEO code. But if phone was branded than it can be operator's code (IDE - Orange, TLP - T-mobile...)

Thanks man,
Now i am sure its XEO , its unbranded, international version, bought from amazon.com
I'm sorry but Kies can not initialize this phone. This could mean that your phone was not branded and you can flash any official XEO firmware if you want to repair it in Sammys Service Center.
You can flash 4.0.4 immidiatelly with Odin or, if you feel that you absolutly must use Kies to upgrade (don't know why) than flash official 4.0.3 (XXLWP) it is stock for XEO region and after that change your CSC by dialing service code *#272*IMEI# (IMEI - your IMEI number). From pop-up menu choose XEO. Phone will be wiped and new CSC will be set. You can check this in 3e recovery (yellow information text at the bottom) or in Kies - there should be (XEO) at the end of the line with current version information. Than you can upgrade to 4.0.4 via Kies or FOTA.

hi,
i have a branded s3 i9300 on sfr france that i unbranded on a mobile shop ,but now i update the s3 from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 via kies and the s3 return branded,after some search on forum i found that i need only to flash an international stock-rom via odin .
now my question is :
1- will my date get lost (photo+apps+contact+video.....) ?
2- do i still have the samuing update?
3-will it be some network problems?
thanks.
sorry for my bad english .
Go to Sam mobile/checkfus and download the undranded version for your country.
As long as you DON'T do a wipe/factory reset at any point flash with odin and you will keep all your apps ect.
Make a back up just in case something does go wrong.

Hi guys. I need some helps. I'm from Malaysia and the android that i used before is android 4.1.2 I9300XXEMF6 (original firmware). Then ive upgraded it into android 4.3 (I9300XXUGMJ9) for UK region. Even though it is an official samsung firmware, i found out it is unstable. I flash it back to android 4.1.2 (Malaysia original firmware) but something happen. The "network have not registered" problem. I then found the solution by rooting it and install the modem. But it act funnily as the android seems unstable from before. I flash it over and over again hoping that reverting back to 4.1.2 will be the same as before but i ended up using 4.2 as the 4.1.2 have network problem. I already search the forum and find many solutions but none provide the files that i need. I also have tried KIES method by recovery and initializing method but it resulted the same. "Network has not registered. The only solution is to root it and i would really like to NOT to root my phone.
My question is, can someone provide me with necessary files such as the pit files, phone (modem) and the CSC files that specifically for Malaysia regions? I already have the firmware file. Please guys. The instability of 4.3 is driving me crazy.
BTW im using i9300.
Stop.
You are going to brick your phone if you flash things without understanding them.
Go to general forum and read the sticky post, especially efs 'know this stuff'.
Flashing a pit file WILL brick your phone.
When you flashed 4.3 you upgraded to efs v2, there is no way back. You can only use EMGx and later modems now, find a later modem that will work in your country, either with 4.1 or 4.3.
Edit. Backup your efs, perform a factory reset, flash your 4.1 country rom then an EMG modem.
hey man, thanks. One question, where can i find this emg modem?

What you`ll need is a new version of 4.1.2 with a mg4 baseband or latest, the 4.3 rom changed your efs folder format. If you want to stick with your 4.1.2 go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43946365&postcount=15 and flash that emergency.zip (mg4 baseband), it should do the job.
Hi guys. Already solved the network problem by installing the Modem DDEMG2 files via odin. Thanks for your guys helps and advice. For some that thinks that i haven't read many posts, i have read them but cannot grasp the concept. Sorry for the inconvenience. Many thanks.

Hi, got an old S3 and I'm handing it down to my son. It's been a great phone and is still in perfect condition. It's currently locked to the Three network UK, but I want to use it on a different network (unlock it), remove the Three branding. (Flash a stock firmware) and I'm quite happy to leave it on 4.1.2
Branding: Three UK
MODEL: GT-I9300
AP: I9300XXEMD2
CP: I9300NELK2
CSC: I9300H3GEMD1
ANDROID VERSION: 4.1.2
BASEBAND: I9300NELK2
BUILD NUMBER: JZ054K.I9300XXEMD2
I have rooted several Android Samsung phones in the past and know the procedure (although can't get my Note Pro 12.2 wifi 4.4.2 rooted) :crying:
Questions:
1) Will flashing to a stock UK firmware unlock it to all networks?
2) Based the above information, which firmware would you recommend? When I look at the firmware section theres always seems to be several UK versions but none ever have my exact numbers on them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Nemo
1) no, only buying an unlock code will work on that firmware and you can't downgrade.
2) Any stock UK firmware will work, only the model number i9300 need be the same.

Thanks for the reply Boomer: just to be certain, are you saying it has to be a firmware 4.1.2 or higher that I would have to flash? Could I install 4.3?
Regarding unlocking to any provider - could you explain how the lock is made please (genuinely interested), I have already asked Three for an unlock code anyway.
Thanks again
Nemo
The efs format was altered to prevent downgrade or free unlocking, 4.3 will work but earlier than 4.1 won't.
Network lock is a switch in efs, encrypted and can't be patched anymore.

If you are one of the lazy ones that didn't upgrade from 4.0.4 you can dump the EFS and search through to find the code, because the EFS wasn't encrypted and could be accesed by a HEX editor.
Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.

Read this thread: [REF] IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff (i9300) - including "no network"
If you don't have an EFS backup, and you already tried to odin stock 4.3, then you should take it to a phone repair shop.
You already got the correct answer in the last thread you started, don't start duplicates.
