Hello,
Anyone know what the latest software is for I9300? is there an official 4.22 ROM that is worth using? Odin flash able because i want to go back to stock unrooted
Visit Sammobile.com for firmwares, there was never an official 4.2.

Thanks, and yeah it looks like 4.3 is it. Lets hope Samsung in not taking a page from HTC's play book and screwing over its user base by not updating devices that are more than capable of running the latest version of android.
I will never use an HTC device again or recommend them to anyone. If Samsung goes down this path it will be bye bye Samsung as well, and i advise a good number of people on device choice and also use many other Samsung products. but if you really look around there is better out there, maybe not at the Samsung price point but they are out there.
The S3 should have 4.2.x and so should the S2 have gotten it, end of

I have a GS3 from KT. I was just wanting to know if I rooted the phone could I use an international rom on the phone? I don't want to brick this thing because I just got it.
No. You will brick your device doing that. Your version is not the same as international version.

Damn. Oh well. I hate touchwiz UI and i just wanted some jelly bean action. I'm coming from a galaxy nexus
Flashing a i9300 rom, root, recovery, ect will result in your phone bricking. Read this if you dont want to brick your phone

I actually read all of that before I posted. I was trying to get into rom porting so that I can get the good stuff. All they have is rooted stock korean versions on the site. On top of that it still won't root using odin for some reason. I am not a newb. I shouldve got the international version.

I have unbranded galaxy s3 i9300...
Still running android 4.0.4
baseband version: I9300XXLF
Any idea why there is no OTA jelly bean for me yet?
Also,any idea if it should be even available for me ?
Updates are dependent on many factors, including where you live.
Ask Samsung directly
Or root and take control.
Good luck
When it comes to rooting - I'm a total rookie..
Where I can ask samsung about it ?
It's not difficult to root s3
Take an hour, a pc
Search s3 thread for root kit, it's all explained and semi automatic there
Odin is included in above and will be used to root in seconds.
Make sure you understand what you will be doing, follow steps properly. An hour should be enough to read and do rooting
If you need to ask Samsung, go to their website, check contact us section for your country.

press thanks if I helped you
relatively, you can go to sammobile.com and download the latest official jb firmware..
but take not that the updates also depend on the region are currently in.. so if let's say you download the Polish JB firmware, and you are not from Poland... then you won't have to get OTA updates.. you have to update your phone manually
Cheers!
You don't have to root to flash the latest software version...

That's very odd... Heard of a solution?
I looking to restore my S3 to stock so i can receive official updates
would this be the correct procedure
Use triangle away to reset flash counter
Flash a stock firmware via odin
For example
I9300XXDLJ4 Download
Base Firmware: I9300XXDLJ4 (4.1.1)
Region Europe
Country: United Kingdom
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 19 October 2012
Modem: XXDLID
CSC: OXADLJ4
Change List: 368423
Would this then enable OTA updates
Why don't you try to search...

Actually if you flash with a stock firmware with odin it will receive future updates via OTA, i had this with my Nexus S phone. I don't know where you get your info from.

Information is from multiple posts saying i cannot update over OTA since i flashed stock firmware .That is why it was no you may not not no .
Not that i would know being a member of XDA i never use OTA/Kies and they don't exist on my phone . So you may be right and those countless posters with stock roms and no OTA may have some other problem .
jje
Im thinking of trading my phone for the note 2 its just so i can restore to stock and for the convenience of the next owner that all stock features (including OTA updates) work

and "no" is the answer to the post about the Nexus S - SGS3 does not behave the same as the pure Android Nexus S with regard to updates etc...I know because i have one and been running 4.1.1 on it since July (4.1.2 for the last week)

Why no ? you flash it with a stock rom 4.1.1 and if a OTA 4.1.2 will be released then why won't he receive it ? I don't get it since the rom is official and will remove everything else that was installed on the phone.

If you flash your S3 with Odin it will increase the flash counter and change status to modified which will break OTA. Not the same with the 2 year old Nexus S as you'll know. The newer S3 has been modified to detect modifications. There are ways around this using mobile Odin etc. but this is just one indication that just because something works on your 2 year old Nexus S doesn't mean it'll work on the latest technology S3.
It's also why I keep bleating on about not giving advice based on supposition, conjecture or what Joe Bloggs posted elsewhere...advice should be based on experience otherwise its worthless, or even worse, misleading and dangerous.

OK thanks for the info, now a newer question. What will happen if someone flashed a stock firmware (4.0.4 dutch) with a stock firmware (4.1.1 poland) via odin ? Will the OTA be blocked as well ? And what will happen if you flash it later with a 4.1.1 dutch stock firmware via odin ?
A friend of mine never rooted or messed with his phone, he only used odin so he could get jellybean faster.
Edit: His flashcounter said this

The Boost Mobile version of the Galaxy s2 has an official update to Android 4.1.2 Jellybean, is it possible to modify the tar file from that update package to be compatible with our AT&T SGH-i777 models?? The upgrade tool can be gotten from Samsung's website and then can be installed on the computer, during the install process it extracts the tar file update along with other needed stuff to install to the phone through Download Mode. I really hope this is possible as I would love to have a close-to-stock version of Android 4.1.2 Jellybean for our device, any help/feedback about this would be greatly appreciated...

This is the DEVELOPMENT forum. Not Q&A. Wrong forum. Plus, why would we want to use Boost's version off their S2, when we could grab 4.1.2 from the AOSP (already done) ? That makes no sense whatsoever.

To answer your question is because our device doesn't have an official update for Android 4.1.2 Jellybean, and this would be as close as we could get with some modifications to it, is it me or does it seem like people aren't interested in the question I asked, cause it seems like people are just being negative about it...

why we can't flash galaxy S4 software on Galaxy S3? I mean the official rom , and why the odin refuses the rom when I try to flash it? I know because the software is working only on S4 because the hardware like installing apple mac on PC but is their any way to make odin pass the software to S3?
I think that there's no way you can flash gs4 rom on gs3...you can only brick your phone like that.
Why don't you just root your phone and flash any custom gs4 like rom?

because I want to get the new S4 features like smart scroll , smart pause ... etc
Glamour S4 rom developer ported all the S4 smart features in his rom but nothing working yet and he said all that features will work in another fix , so why till now the S4 features don't work on S3?
That will never work because they are 2 different devices. It will lead to an expensive paperweight. Some features will come to the S3 in future updates. Some will not for two reasons. The S3s hardware doesn't support the feature (ex. Temperature sensors) or because Samsung is beginning to move on from the S3

For the same reason you cant flash the HTC one os on your s3. Its a different device with different hardware, ergo different drivers.
If they kept the same hardware, it wouldn't be an upgrade
