Flashed what I thought was a generic rom to a samsung galaxy s3 i9300 using odin. I downloaded what I thought was a generic rom but in fact, it was a vodafone UK rom. The phone was bought sim free from phones 4 u and it needs to go back. The rom version when the phone was bought was 4.1.2 Jelly Bean so I need to install a generic rom. Its also coming up on samsung kies with " your device current firmware is not supported kies". I dont think that when I take it in to be fixed that they will plug the phone into samsung kies but they will check the binary counter which is now clear because I have flashed it with the vodafone rom. I know there are older roms but I would appreciate it if someone can link me up to a generic rom. Any help and advice with this will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys :good:
Sammobile, choose btu and factory reset in recovery after flashing.

I have a Galaxy SII and wanted to know how i can update the firmware.
my current version is
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9100XXKDJ
I read that there is a new version available for GAlaxy S II which has some improvements for batteries.
I tried using Kies but no firmware upgrade is showing up

Thanks and looking for your support

But it will erase all your data, right?

No, it shouldn't. But I believe the update is for UK handsets only. Can't swear to it, but worth checking
Thank you will try odin. Since this is my fist android phone i didn't want to mess around much. But will try
Ok it shouldn't but you do have to make a factory reset in order to get the XEU CSC working and that will wipe your phone, won't it?
just bothering with that because without root there is no backup and kies is too stupid to have a simple button that says "backup"
Factory reset wipes your data, you for XEU CSC in above referred thread

Hi Everyone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2
Kernal WXLP4 optus firmware.
I rooted the phone and stupidly let my son play with it and he has deleted important firmware apps such as Touch whiz and other things that are making my phone almost unusable.
Unfortunately there is no firmware repair on kies so i was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what to do. I did a factory reset and it does not restore these important firmware files unfortunately.
Any help would be great.

Hi everyone.
I need some help with my I9100. I am not receiving any reception on any networks so I have called Samsung and will be sending the phone back for repairs as the phone is still under warranty.
I was using the SuperNexus rom in the android development section. The phone was working brilliantly with this rom and suddenly stopped picking up any network after weeks of using this rom. I hadn't changed the radio in this time either.
I am guessing I will have to unroot the phone and flash original samsung firmware again.
Can somebody point me in the right direction please. I need to know how to unroot my I9100 and need to know which firmware I will need to flash.
Thanks in advance.
Download your stock firmware, and flash using Odin, use Triangle away before flashing

Can you try flashing it with modem for your country and download and run GETRIL app to fix your RIL.

Thanks for your responses
I flashed the stock firmware (I9100XWLPY - H3G UK) and used triangle away to reset the flash counter.
I've re flashed supernexus build 5 after rooting and used getril because the baseband and and ril didn't match according to GetRIL.
my baseband is I9100NELP4 and it recommends me to flash I9100XXLPX; I9100NELP4
now it is matching but it still doesnt pick up any networks. I've tried O2 uk and Three UK. I am on the Three network.
My IMEI *#06# matches the IMEI behind the battery. However the S/N does not match from settings and behind the battery.
Is there anything I can do before I send it back to Samsung for repairs?
Make sure your flash counter is 0 ( check in D/L mode) and have a completely stock unrooted firmware.

Hi guys, I put a custom rom on my s3 and hated it after a week in the mean time my laptop with my back up has died and is inaccessible. Now I have downloaded about 10 stock roms that are apparently for the international s3 and not one of these has worked with keis or let me updated ota also triangle away does not work have done it 3 times and it never resets to 0. What I'm asking is can someone point me to a proper official stock rom. a couple of the ones I have downloaded have also had hidden apks that installed after reboot

Did you root before running triangle away. Just download the latest firmware from sammobile.com
Then, root your phone and run triangle away. Once finished start up in download mode and flash your new firmware with odin.
Wipe everything and the phone should be back to stock.
Try this site www.sammobile.com u will find the official stock rom for ur country. Search in firmware option

I've used Sam mobile non of them firmwares were any good. Yes phone was rooted before I used triangle away. I got my phone from phones 4 u and it was unbranded so it's not any of the firmwares from Sam the current firmware I have is from Sam and when I plug it into Kies it says (kor) now does that mean it's a Korean version

Well its a simple question if it is a I9300 of putting back your original firmware you saved .
Or using the Kies recover to original method>> for that search it may be a recent post this week . Sorry i dont know dont use Kies .
jje
If you are worried about KIES, just use the "UPGRADE/INITIALIZATION EMERGENCY FIRMWARE" under tools section, enter your model, GT-I9300 in this cas, in capitals, and in the next dialog fill in your S/N, again in capitals.
Then KIES will download your carriers firmware and VOILÁ!!!
1 - Fresh new install (and completely stock).
2 - CSC matches with Samsung's stored database of serials.
ADD: I would recommend to do a reset factory settings first, as this method will left it's traces if you do not so.
