Hello,
Recently I updated over-the-air to Andrioid 4.3 (baseband version I9300XXUGMJ9), build number JSS15J.I9300XXUGMJ9.
It was running android 4.2.2 before, updated over-the-air aswell. I have not rooted or modified the phone in any way. Since updating to android 4.3 it's has been painfully slow during unlocking and I wish to downgrade it to 4.2.2 however I can't find any official ROMs, I can only see 4.1.2 or 4.3.
Does anyone know where I can find official 4.2.2 ROM ? (and how to downgrade). The phone was bought unlocked, I believe.
Thank you
Hey
If sammobile.com doesn't have the 4.2.2 firmware then it's not there for your region s3..
Try a Google search or use 4.1.2..

Sam mobile doesn't seem to have any 4.2.2. I am 100% sure that I had android 4.2.2 before.
There are 2,2 custom roms posted .

As @JJEgan said, no link between firmware update and SIMlock.
If the phone is unlock properly (free by default or unlock with samsung codes) you have no chance (zero !) to simlock the device.
If the phone is unlock with a third-part software (like Voodoo Unlocker), an update to jelly bean will relock the phone.
Thanks to all Who Helped Me.
i have successfully updated my s3 to Jb 4.1.2 with Samsung Kies and without any single problem.
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, today January the first my old and venerable Galaxy S2 alerted me that an update was available and I accepted it and the process went fine. The version update is now the 4.1.2.
My brand new S3 international version (Amazon bought) and unlocked has alerted me more than 6 times there was an update available, I did the same as in the SII and accepted all the messages, the phone rebooted and the Android logo appeared and below there was a percentage bar showing the process update advance, when it got to the 32 % the logo changed from standing to laying with an red triangle with an I at stomach level over it and the phone restarted.
When finally the reboot finished a new alert opened saying software update and thats is all.
My phone actually is running Android 4.04 and also my old S2 has a later version.
I also tried through Kies and the program was unable to do the update.
The phone is unlocked and rooted
What recommendation can I get to update it
Best regards.
Thor Hedderich
You can't update becouse phone is rooted as you stated above. You should unroot your phone (use search, you have tut here on xda) and than run update.

You dont need to unroot. Just update via kies or download your firmware from sammobile.com and flash with odin. your choice.
I would recommend that later one.

Again here, have just tried to update the phone through Kies and got the following :
Model name : GT-I9300
GT-I9300 does not admit initialization
Error messages capture.
View attachment 2488009
View attachment 2488010,
It is in Spanish but I translated it, and there is another error message :
The device does not admit software update through Kies
Actual Firmware version : PDA:LH3 / PHONE : LH1 / CSC:LH2 (XXX)
Just another thing before I rooted my device which I also did with my S2 I tried also to update the phone manually and through Kies and always got the same errors.
What do you think would be the best way, I read somewhere there was an update but if this was applied I could not apply later any custom ROM and probably I could also brick the phone so I am worried about this.
Regards and waiting for support,

You are right but in the past I remember I used Odin and managed to update my SII, which ROM it was ? Cant remember but I do remember I followed step by step instructions I read in XDA, now I am also subscribed to this email list which shows how to update a custom ROM in SII , would you give me your opinion ?

Your phone won't upgrade OTA because its rooted however it will upgrade via Kies rooted or not. That error message has nothing to do with root.
If you use KIES choose TOOLS > FIRMWARE UPGRADE & INITIALISATION. This method is a deep clean method which will require you to enter phone serial number and imei to ensure your phone is legit for your country of upgrade and is registered with a network.
It will take a while but will upgrade to the latest FW for your country, completely wipe the phone and remove root.
Hello,i updated to Android 4.3 a few months ago but before the official update was released.I flashed a 4.3 firmware but it is too buggy and laggy,anyways, i'm trying to downgrade to 4.1.2 and then install the 4.3 update via OTA.I downloaded a 4.1.2 firmware and i am flashing it using Odin and it says it has been successfully flashed,however the new 4.1.2 system is not installed in the phone,it's still the same buggy 4.3 one What do i do ?
Flash a firmware from sammobile.com via Odin.
But if you downgrade you will end up with no network unless you read the faqs and guides first .
Plenty of excellent 4.3 rom on this developers forum .
Latest ML4 is excellent .

Well I would suggest you in the first place to backup your IMEI and only after that you should install custom roms So if a rom would mess up your IMEI you can just restore it. You can install any kind of rom Kitkat, Touchwiz, MIUI, Jelly bean your choice.
I recommend installing ultimarom trust me on this one
