Hi guys..I was planing to upgrade friends S3 on newer Android version..He is running 4.1.1..And when i click check update i get error..Something like it can't be upgraded because Phone is touched or it's not that phone..He bought it in T-Mobile (croatia)..Can you post me a link for flashing it or restoring a backup (just like on our One X)..Because I can't find anything here sry

What has locked got to do with it ???
Your provider of the phone as defined by the product code updates via KIES .
Or join a forum like XDA and flash stock Samsung ICS rom .
jje
Ask your carrier.
Phone running carrier-branded stock firmware getting firmware updates via Kies it's entirely up to them when they release it after receiving it from Samsung. My carrier got it 7 weeks ago & still hasn't released it (not that I'd want to use tho).
Root with superoneclickroot & stop being a *****!

Half a brain would search the forum as this question has been asked ten thousand times with the usual reply flash a stock GB rom from the stock roms thread via Odin or restore your saved original rom .
Once restored sell SGS2 and buy a Nokia .

Hello,
I want this to be a personal question about how to update my phone to Jellybean 4.1
First of all, as u can all see in the screenshot, I don't have software update in my phone,it's a branded Orange phone.
Over Kies my phone is not connecting to it. I have done a ton of solutions, no succes.
So I came here to ask you how can I update my Samsung Galaxy S3 to Jellybean with Odin starting from my screenshot, I mean from baseband i9300bvle4 w/o damaging my phone.
Please, give me some steps like you make for newbies.
Best Regards,
Go grab the latest stock JB from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610. Then use odin to flash, follow one of the many, many guides on using odin. Once youve downloaded the FW its a 10 min job.

BASEBAND is not firmware.
Official update you will get via OTA or KIES .

As I said, I want to exclude the OTA/KIES, because it's not working on my SGS3.

Hi guys, just upgraded from Sony Xperia Sola to S3 (i am still learning). I bought the phone 2 days old with root and CWM, its on 4.1.2 JB.
Now its saying there is a new software for the phone, so i want to ask:
1. Will i lose root after upgrading?
2. Does the new software worth it?
Thanx guys

Do you want to keep root?
if you're rooted, IMHO its best to manually flash roms. Unles syou dont want root, in which case its best to download a full version from sammobile.com to return it to stock.
OTA updates don't work if you're rooted, you'll get an error

How about taking the time to read the basic faqs and guides first .
Loose root yes .
New software worth it who knows unless you say what it is .
But its probably;y a minor update details all over the forum .

I belive there are custom roms (such as Imperium) with OTA upgrades (at least that's what they say on their [ROM] page.
of course. we're talking about Samsung OTA

1) Do not install CM 9 unless you want to brick your phone
2) All important info can be found in General > Sticky roll-up thread. Believe it or not, you're not the first person to ask this question
Please start by reading the basics its all posted .
Then read the instruction for the rom you want .
If you dont understand then dont flash until you do .
Basics read first.

Hey there. I'm new to the SIII mod world so I have a question. I know how to root since I rooted the SIII of a friend, but I want to install a custom rom. If I do so is there a way to COMPLETELY be stock again and under warranty?

Yes there is. Check the unbrick guide for the GS3, it will show you how to flash the stock rom and return to how your device was when you first boughr it.

There is no more link for 4.0.4 stock rom for gs3 anymore. I dun think 4.1.1 even has a download link anymore. Unless u had a nandroid back up, it is impossible to go back tat far.
