Hi All
I'm new here...joined 10mins ago.
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) and toyed around with Odin and 4.3 firmware.
I love the new firmware, but my phone is useless now.
I want to go back to Firmware 4.04 but all the links points to hotfile.
I need a working link to the following firmware:
Base Firmware: I9300XXALE9 (4.0.4)
Region Africa
Country: Algeria
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 15 May 2012
Modem: XXLE8
CSC: OJVALE9
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

The file you want will be here but if you have installed 4.3 you can't just go back to 4.0.4, you will corrupt your EFS file then you phone will really be useless unless you can restore all that as well, read up on downgrading and EFS issues in my signature, search the forum and General Section before you attempt this regarding downgrading from Android 4.3.

Hi guys
I've been looking to update my galaxy s2 to ICS for a while now but it doesn't seem to respond to ANYTHING i've read on forums so far.
It was broken (screen) so has been away for repair.
Now if i try to update OTA it seems fine until reboot then stops at 14% and comes up failed. Kies also says my device cannot be updated using kies?
I'm still on gingerbread 2.3.3!
Kies also wont backup my data telling me there's not enough free space on the PC when there is plenty.
I have read ALOT on this but am now completely out of ideas, any help what to do from here would be fantastic!
Here's some info from about phone phone:
Baseband: I1900XXKE4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I1900XWKE1-CL181974
[email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Here's info from *#1234#
PDA: I1900XWKE1
PHONE: I1900XXKE4
CSC: I1900XEUKD1
Any help would be really appreaciated as it seems from searching no-one else actually has the same info on their phone as me which i find strange.
contacts are already backuped in your google account or you can try this software http://www.moborobo.com/
For Firmware Go To samfirmware.com Download the firmware from there and flash with odin search the forum how to flash with odin..

Thanks very much nitinvaid, i'll try that.
I already have odin just wasn't sure which fw to flash to it, definitely dont want to brick it as it's still under warranty.
I'm not wanting spoonfed or anything but should it be obvious which firmware i should be using? is it official samsung fw?
Thanks again

Pretty simple actually! Just got to sammobile.com, make an id and log in. In the "Firmwares" section, you will be able to download your country's/carrier's latest official firmware. Download the file, unzip and flash via Odin.
And do not worry about the warranty, the firmwares on Sammobile are official firmware. Flashing them will not void your warranty, unless you root..!
Best of luck...!
Sorry but one more question, might sound easy to you guys but all these letters and numbers mean nothing to me
Can i go straight to this fw from 2.3.3 using odin?

Yes, you can. Just get a "How to update to ICS via odin" tutorial on the internet (it's everywhere) and follow it properly, there's no mistake
Don't forget to close Kies and the KiesTrayAgent (with task manager) before flashing with odin.

If you are going to flash the XWLPT firmware be careful as it contains the dreaded "hard brick bug" I would suggest flashing a custom Kernel straight away ie Siyah Kernel. As this will remove the bug

Install a custom Rom and Kernel. You will not go back to stock!! Root your phone first. Backup your stock rom with CWM in case something happens. I would do this before using any of the solutions that previous comments have given you. Some times even if you are following the right instructions you will get a soft brick. Its best to have everything backed up before attempting any updates of Roms. There is so many tutorials out there to do this. This would be the easiest solution and also the best solution to your problem. Everybody too have seemed to have moved to Jelly Bean 4.1 not ICS 4.0.3/4.0.4. My opinion i prefer Jelly Bean than ICS. Look into rooting, installing custom Roms and Kernels.
Hello everyone,
My phone details are as follows:
I9100XWLPT
Base Firmware: I9100XWLPT (4.0.4)
Region: Europe
Country United Kingdom / Ireland
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 27 July 2012
Modem: XXLQ6
CSC: XEULPA
And this is supported by networks in my region (Pakistan). But unfortunately this has the emmc brick bug as well. If I flash the following firmware using Odin then what kinda issues I will have to face? Will my network support it? And do I need to make a backup of efs folder before flashing? How can I choose the right firmware? PLEASE GUIDE I HAVE NO IDEA.

You need to do some searching by yourself, that is what the search function is for. EPS Pro for backing up EFS folder: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546 Make a backup before flashing Siyah Kernel, and make sure you have root in order for backup to work.
You can just flash Siyah Kernel v4.1.5 via Odin to prevent brickbug in ICS v4.0.4. Look at my rooting guide in my sig, just change the CF-Root file with Siyah Kernel. Refer here: www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v4/Siyah-s2-v4.1.5.tar
In case you are unsure what brickbug is, the stock 4.0.4 kernel has MMC_CAP_ERASE enabled which bricks your phone when a wipe data command is used in stock recovery. Siyah kernel deals with this by disabling MMC_CAP_ERASE. This command needs to be enabled for the brick to occur, so don't worry about having to change your ROM.
But if I plan to unroot my phone latter on then I will have to get it back on stock and If I flash the same stock 4.0.4 then I wont be able to wipe data thats why I was asking about LPQ. Will it work for me?

Well if you wished to unroot it and return it to stock 4.0.4 again, you would just be where you are now. Yes, you can flash 4.0.3 if you want, although I struggle to understand why you would return it to stock at a later date anyway.
If your network struggles to pick up a good signal on it, there are many modems out there that you can flash to make your network signal stronger. Refer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Can anyone provide me with the torrent for the following firmware. I tried several times to download from Hotfile but it disconnects after a while. Please its urgent, I need to reflash to stock room before I give my phone to samsung service center.
I9300XXEMC2
Base Firmware: I9300XXEMC2 (4.1.2)
Region: Europe
Country: United Kingdom

I'm pretty sure the stock firmware collection thread has a torrent somewhere in it. Search. You will find a link.
Hi all,
I have a question about what version of stock to flash.
- I have rooted and flashed Slimbean on the phone ages ago.
- Back then i runned into a problem where the new modem version was flashed into the phone, and had the IMEI problem etc..
- I could not remember what version modem was installed originally. but i managed to got it working with i9300xxemg4
Now i have some problems with Slimkat or CM11, so i want to flash back to stock, before making the update to kitkat.
- I found the original stock on samsung-updates dot com, but i am not sure if i can safely flas the following version:
Region: MBC (germany)
PDA: I9300XXUGND2 CSC: I9300MBCGND1 MODEM: I9300XXUGNA8 CHANGELIST: 2429075 BUILD DATE: 02.04.2014
My phone being bought in Germany, should logically work with this modem and firware, correct ?
Or should i continue to look for a version that offers the same modem version i have installed currently EMG4 ?
PS: I will be flashing with Mobile ODIN pro, i guess this should be no problem ?
Thanks for any help in advance,

Hi everyone,
I'm in a conundrum. I've gone and soft-bricked my Samsung G3 I9300T and my attempts to flash it with various stock firmware have fallen flat. Can anyone offer me help or direct me to a thread (for dummies) for identifying which firmware would be suitable for my I9300 as I'm led to believe there are differences eg. ZSALED (Hong Kong) vs UBALE6 (Brazil).
Phone details:
Model: GT-I9300T
I've seen other threads posting AP, CP & CSC but I'm not sure how to obtain these details
I'm sorry for being ignorant. But many thanks for your time.
History of phone:
I purchased it off kogan a few years ago.
This is my first time rooting and flashing my S3 and everything's gone horribly wrong.
When I try to put it into recovery mode it will 'cycle' the Samsung Galaxy SIII title page but never reach recovery mode
I can put the phone into Download mode.
I've attempted to flash the phone with these firmwares:
-GT-I9300_TGY_I9300ZSALED_I9300OZSALED_I9300XXLEF.tar. md5
-CheckROM_V4_LG8.tar.md5 (from a thread: PM me if you'd like to know it)
-I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md 5
(I use Odin3 v3.04-3.09 to flash these but everytime I run into a Fail)
Hi,
Could someone direct me to a thread that'll teach me the notation of firmware. B/c I still don't understand: the meaning of the designations for PDA & CSC.
Example
Model: GT-I9300
Country: United Kingdom
Version: Android 4.3
Changelist: 2168382
Build date: Thu, 28 Nov 2013 12:07:41 +0000
Product Code: BTU
PDA: I9300XXUGMK6 (What does XX, UGMK6 mean?)
CSC: I9300OXAGMK6 (similarly, what does OX, AGMK6 refer to?)
MODEM: I9300XXUGMK6
And what's the difference between Samsung Galaxy SIII International (firmware) I9300XXEMC2 & I9300XXUGNB4? (XX means Australia, but what do EMC2 or UGNB4 mean?
Again I apologise if I irritate some of you. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Kinetik

No reason why it shouldn't, its the same as the one infront of me. At any rate hopefully it repair your phone so you can maybe install your proper rom
