Hello,
one of my friends got her S3 stuck in a boot loop, it can go into recovery and it is detected by odin. So I thought I could just flash the official firmware and this may fix it.
I went over to sammobile but they changed something with the firmware section since the last time I was there.. I can't find older firmware.
The phone is I9300 and I am looking for the latest firmware for Egypt.
Do you guys have any idea what I should do?
Alternatively, I am trying to save the data here, do you know of any non wipe firmware? I am trying to get her phone up without losing data.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks!
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
If you want the latest firmware then just download it from Sammobile.com, you will have to factory reset before it will boot.

I have looked into the Q&A but I didnt feel my question falls in there, as Q&A is mainly about the S3.
I have looked at the threads containing a collection of official firmware but nothing related to Egypt.
I did my search before I post. I could not reach a desirable result that is why I asked.
Apart from that, thank you for your answer. I hope someone else can help me with an answer that will resolve my problem.
Thank you.
Note: funny thing about your quote, I already mentioned I looked in Sammobile and didnt find Egypt. Missed to read that?

You don't need to install an Egyptian firmware on your friends S3. You can basically install any firmware made for the GT-i9300. Doesn't matter from what country it says its from.

I didn't miss reading that, it was irrelevant as you had missed the basics issue. Don't ignore the posting rules, they do apply to you.
Tovagulet - Thank you
boomboomer - I apologize if I missed the posting rules. Again, I didn't feel my question fit.

Hi,
Basically, I'm selling my GS2 and I want to return it to it's original state, as in, the Orange UK firmware, remove the root etc on the device.
I'm currently running Lightenin' Rom 1.3 on the device.
Is it just as simple as downloading the Orange UK firmware from this site, and running a flash through ODIN? Will this also get rid of the yellow triangle?
Thanks for any help.
Dean
Should do but you will be left with the custom rom counter .
See binary rom counter post dev section .
jje
I could use the USB jig to do that right? I have one of those badboys!!
Im glad somebody asked this question, i have been searching for an answer to this exact same question for over 2 days and was about to start a new thread
I'm glad someone's asked this too. I find the dev threads generally poor at explaining things clearly. There seems to be a lot of assumptions about the reader's knowledge, which can leave you wondering "WTF???"
I've not had any problems with any previous phones, but this is my first native Android device so I'm obviously having to learn quite a bit.
My one question would be to Deanoaka. When you say:
Is it just as simple as downloading the Orange UK firmware from this site, and running a flash through ODIN?

Awesome!, Thanks a bunch mate!
Its wierd though, when you post a question in dev forum they tell you to post it in Q&A. When you eventually post in Q&A, the answer is lying in the Dev Forum. lol

I already flash from XWKF1 to XXKG5 (actually my 2nd try, and I think, I failed to root it). It's ok with my action (I'm from Malaysia)?
I realize my usb lock screen doesn't appear when i plug in into pc. I dont know how to remove safely from pc as before i just hit home button at my sgs2 to remove it.
I'm very2 noob. It's ok if I go to samsung service centre and ask them to restore to original state and wipe all data like new from the box? Is't affect my warranty?
Hope someone will answer my noob questions. Tq...
Hi everyone I am Sean, and I just got my ATT SGS2 Yesterday. I think I followed a rooting guide for the non ATT one. The rooting was successful but my WIFI is down with no MAC Address, also I cannot seem to get any custom rom working.
Is there a way to get the Stock ATT Kernel so I can flash and start over. Is there a rooting guide specificly for the ATT version?
Thanks ahead of time!

If u flashed the wrong kernel, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294574. Not trying to be mean, but it took me less then a minute of skimming over the Android development section to find this.

Please read *before* you post a question. There is a lot of information available on the XDA I777 forums. Please read all the stickies in the general section, as well as the library sticky in the development section. You've been on xda-developers for several years and made many posts, so you *should* know the forum rules. People here will be glad to help you if you do your part first, but if you are looking to have your hand held, you will probably get little help.

It's just that your questions are already answered in sticky posts in both the general forum and the development forum. I thought it would be better if you wnet and read the answers there rather than taking the time to write the answers all over again.
You clearly didn't read if you went and flashed something not meant for your device without VERY explicit instructions on what is OK to flash and how to flash it.

Actually as I have already explained I did read plenty, I found nothing in the Q&A Section, which is where a solution to a "Question" should be.
And the Guide I followed which was from XDA never once stated that it was only for the International version. Nor did it say it would not work for the AT&T version.
I have been with this community a long time and have never had someone as rude or unhelpful as you. Please do not reply to posts if you are not helping in anyway.
Even though you may have read threads in the Q&A section, a simple search would have pulled up the IMPORTANT threads taht are located in the Dev section that would have answered your questions... and why are they in the Dev section you ask? Because, when flashing anything to your phone like a rom or kernel, its considered DEVELOPMENT and you would have know that if you would have read.
Now go read some more and search. Thread closed.

well, that is the forum and WIKI for your specific phone and model, it has a Q&A thread too, so best to post your Question and explore there, as answers will be correct and accurate and you should explore those other threads to understand and operate your phone better.
the posters on this Q&A, do not have such threads , thats why they post here.
Moved to Galaxy S III Q&A.
I have managed to get my phone back and it's rooted
I had CWM v3.6. I searched and searched for CWM v6, but couldn't find it anywhere (not on its own as a download anyway), so I installed Philz Touch
CWM now gives an error ""This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer...."
I tried to install Cyanogenmod 10, but get an assert error status 7
I can't go into Play Store - I get "Error while retrieving information from server [RH-01]"
I also get "Android is upgrading" "Optimising application x of 76" every boot
Can I put my phone back as it was or can anyone help with the above pretty please

wrong forum since T-Mobile S3(SGH-T999) is a different model entirely from the international S3(i9300).dont be offended,he isnt being rude to you,just telling you to go to the correct forum before you get help from people who didnt notice that yours is a t-mobile model and give you links from this forum and then you brick your device.(like give you a link to the CF Root for i9300).
But mine IS an I9300.
And if I am wrong, wouldn't it be better to point me in the right direction rather than just tell me I'm wrong? How would I learn? My point is that if you can't be bothered to help, don't reply with such a negative post. I had basically screwed my phone, was in a pretty bad place and needed your HELP, not "wrong thread wrong forum wrong model!! Search next time please"
As for searching - spookily I did try try that, both on here and Google, but with nearly 3.5 million posts on here searching isn't the exact science you think it is.
Seems some people come here just to argue I won't be back!
before anything else, breath deeply and then let it out.get some fresh air and have a chill pill.when youve calmed down,try to answer my questions and il try to help you if i can.put yourself on my shoes and try to understand its hard to help a person who is raging.
first,i would need you to confirm that even if your on T-Mobile,you have the i9300 international version as opposed to SGH-T999.
then as what youve said above,things seem to have gotten out of hand and complicated so i have 2 options for you:
1. we can try to fix your whacked system OR
2. if you dont mind,flash stock sammy over again and il help you with rooting and whatever you want after your rooted.
I am perfectly calm thank you - I fixed my phone by staying up all night
LaZyDood, I am grateful that you wish to help, but I am fine now.
I just can't get over the attitude of Ausboy - If that's the mentality of the members on here, I won't ask for help again
(BTW - as I said above, I DO have an I9300 )
good to know you fixed it.have fun trying out all the custom roms and mods.enjoy
Why would anybody think that TMobile is only a USA company .
Why would anybody from the UK have a USA TMobile phone ???
Where has their OP posted he has T-Mobile S3(SGH-T999).
Fact is he posted in the correct forum from the start but got a reply based upon ignorance .

My Ace 2 is EE branded:
Latest firmware info
GT-I8160 Galaxy Ace 2
PDA: I8160XXLL2
CSC: I8160EVRMA1
Added: 2013-0-10
(From sammobile)
If i flash a BTU firmware, then update it via Kies to jellybean, will it brick the phone or is it safe? Has anyone else done this?
Your telephone would explode because you did not used Q & A Thread, and you did not bother to use search function.
Have you ever read XDA rules? Please do. Do not open new thread for each question. Most of questions (including yours) are already answered.
I dont want to sift through 176 pages on the Q and A thread sorry.
Anyone answer please?
You can always use search function.
Most people are using it with good results. It's not that hard and I assume you are grow enough to use it.
But if you somehow cannot find it, then you can add a post on Q&A Thread your question and someone will answer you. At right upper corner you will get info at Notifications: that there is a reply.
fair point, my bad.
Please Search before create a new tread

no it wont brick your phone if done correctly(there are how-to threads about this, no further answers will follow here...)..
xda search is your friend and also is google - try to search on your own a bit and if you don't find anything, then you open a new thread -- here are more then 5mio users, someone does have your problem and there is a discusoon going on about that for sure..
no need spam more posts - read forum rules first!
yes it will brick it. So wait for kies.
Ive google searched loads for EE branded firmware and it just finds my own threads. Thats why im asking here but it keeps getting ignored so i have to keep asking cuz surely someone knows
