hi ive just picked up an i9300 which is on 4.0.4....when i check for updates on the phone it says none available also when connected to kies it says the phone cant be updated using kies
after doing some research i discovered it had 2 counts in the custom binary download but was on official current binary and system status in the download mode screen
anyway ive rooted and used triangle away n it now shows as no counts....but still no ota updates n still kies says cant be updated..tried temp unroot and root keeper but still no joy
now ive flashed stuff before on other phones but with this one i gather i need to flash the stock rom to remove root but have looked everywhere with no joy only stuff i can find are foreign roms on 4.0.4 nothing newer
im in the uk with an unlocked s3 i9300 with the following info:
AP: I9300XXALE8
CP; I9300XXLE8
CSC; I9300OJVALE7
My main questions are has this been updated beyond 4.0.4
where can i find the correct stock rom
would reflashing the rom make the counter go up
if its not been updated past 4.0.4 id not be that fussed but its always nice to run the latest available official update, dont wanna go the custom rom route
please dont tell me off...ive looked honest!
thankyou in advanced
is this the one i need?

Rooted my Galaxay i9100 yesterday, and im having the Force Close program problem (Orange net work) , so looked at through the forum to reistall the origainal firmware, as most user are doing.

PLUS i may have forgot original firmware name .... could of been kda ,but i did a update before i flashed it ..... :/
I also get the yellow warning triangle on boot up...

Try factory reset first

No but counter still shows custom rom number
And do i need to use SuperOneClick to re root my phone? YES

Any advice on how to work out the original firmware or does it matter??

If you want to downgrade it, I would look at flashing KE1 with Odin. Have a look in the android development forum.
It was my understanding that flashing official roms does not increase the counter, but flashing anything else does. So flashing the custom kernel will increase the counter. You can look at getting yourself a jig to reset it.
As for rerooting, yes, you'll need to do that again after flashing down to KE1.
Or you can just stick with it, I've heard it doesn't actually prevent functionality, it's just annoying. I'd anticipate a KE3 soon to fix the problem.
Personally if on Orange i would wait for the upgrade due KE3 .
Original firmware Orange branded phone is warranted by seller .
Stock firmware via Odin and Samfirmware is stock Samsung firmware . Seller may reject this under warranty but Samsung cover it .
Kies will probably not update requires Odin and Samfirmware for updates .
Rooting breaks your warranty full stop and requires removing before warranty claims .

I have read some related threads for " Your Device does not support software updating via kies"
I am getting this issue.
I recently got a branded phone from orange after having a unbranded phones4u (the unbranded one was smashed and Orange replaced it with orange care) my concern was they the branded phone would be full of bloatware etc etc, so i came to XDA earlier in the week and I got some advice about Odin & flashing the attached stock ROM (I9300XXBLG_i9300XABLG8_I9300xxLH1_home.tar.md5) this seemed to go through very smoothly after following the XDA guide.
the S3 is now showing up as I9300XXLH1 which was the same as my Unbranded phone , however now Kies is being a bit of a bell-end and bring up the following message on the connection screen "Your Device does not support software updating via kies". after reading some related threads it would seem that the general consensus is that Kies is in fact a bit of a liability and its best to update via Odin.
This I don't mind doing, but as a bit of Noob , I'm a little confused over where to get a guide on which firmware in the UK will work. I'm not wanting to go for any the custom ROMs (Yet, I want to get used to flashing stock ROM's first) is there a website which gives you update on new stock firmware (for I9300 & I9100)that can be flashed (ie taking the place of Kies , so to speak.
Also I noticed that the Kies Back-up program doesn't work , it doesn't seem to work with any phone, I've tried reinstalling etc etc but it still doesn't work, I've tried Mobile Go which is okay but doesn't seem to backup user settings etc etc. I've heard of titanium but I don't want to Root at the moment is there any alternative?
has anyone got a link for relevant Stock firmware for Jellybean for I9300 UK & I9100
Thanks in advance
has anyone got a link for relevant Stock firmware for Jellybean for I9300 UK & I9100
Why would they JB has not been released for the UK .
JB is Poland only as per thread in General section.
You have changed the firmware and phone now presents wrong codes to KIES .
jje
Thanks
Thanks for the quick response,
I had assumed that changing the firmware would perhaps invalidate the connection to kies updates , my question was for someone in the know to point me in the right direction for ROM catalogue (of sorts) as being new to to this I'm apprehensive about putting the incorrect firmware on to the phone/s.
JB issue - noted.
Thanks

CHECKFUS is best download and flash via Odin genuine Samsung server firmware .

Hello guys.
Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions for me. I rooted my new phone using the toolkit method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 and now i am confused about the firmware versions,and if the kernel was changed and such. I forgot to check all these versions before i rooted the phone,so have no idea if these are the original ones.
My phone is bought and used in Denmark,however the firmware suggests it is now a uk version looking at the country code could this be correct? If i look at this http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9300&pcode=HTD&os=1&type=1#firmware my AP/PDA number is the same,but the CSC number is different,is this normal?
this is apparently the stock samsung firmware for my phone PDA:I9300XXBLH3 CSC:I9300HTDBLH1 from the sammobil site, and after root mine says PDA/AP: I9300XXBLH3 CSC:I9300NEEBLH2
I would like to know if this is normal? Can i use the 4.1.1. jellybean (2012 October 4.1.1 PDA:I9300XXDLJ1 CSC:I9300HTDDLI1) on my phone using odin to flash it? Or do i have to find a firmware with exactly the same numbers as my current ones?
I am afraid i might have done something wrong,however everything works,and root checker says i have root access,and superuser is installed on the phone,if the toolkit has "updated" or changed my firmware/kernel to a uk one,does it matter?
Also,after root my phone now shows up as Galaxy Tab in utorrent,but it is still I9300 in my windows7, why is this?
Did toolkit 5.0 save my original rom/kernel/firmware before rooting? If so,where?
I would be extremely grateful for someone to easy my worrying
Thank You

Thank you for the answer. I understand everything now.. And it works fine.. I did however use the wrong firmware rom,so i got different operator,i found the correct stock firmware,and will be starting from scratch using the cf-root method with the correct stock rom.
Thank you
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 Guys. I went into a bit trouble here...
I have Samsung S3 for more than 1 year, and I already flashing it with custom ROM without proper backup (foolish yeah i know)...
And now, I want to return to my official stock rom (unroot). Since i am from Indonesia, I found that the latest firmware my country has from S3 is 4.1.2 (from samsung-updates and sammobile websites) like this :
GT-I9300 Galaxy S III
PDA: I9300XXEMF6
CSC: I9300OLBEMF3
MODEM: I9300DXEMB1
Added: 2013-07-23
I reset the binary counter with triangle away and unroot it with mobile odin, but the problem is my imei was like "0049...../1" and I cannot make any calls or sms (not registered from network).
After reading a bunch of threads, i found the solution was to root it back again and install modem XXEMG4...
Is there anything I could do to have a working unroot phone? like using official stock rom from other country perhaps?
cheers
Yes it is the Modem problem. And for heaven's sake as soon as you root make a backup and backup your efs partition as well before you get into a bigger mess. Flash a stock rom that has the modem MG4 or flash a 4.3 rom of any country it hardly matters.
If i unroot it with a 4.3 rom from any country, then can i update through option "software update" or should i flash it again if there is any update in the future?
Thanks for the explanation!

no i dont think...but you can try by KIES..that may be possible..but some users have reported that kies also doesnt work for them..but you always have ODIN to flash firmware of other country or any your country whenevr it comes..
:good:
So i still have to root it?
Root doesn't matter, you cannot use the firmware of modem for your country as it is efs v1 and you didn't take a backup before you changed to v2.
There is no way back, you'll just have to wait for 4.3 to be released in your country if you want stock and unmodified status again.
