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,
kamaradski

I have an unbranded and unlocked S3. My original ROM Firmware was
PDA:LE8 PHONE:LE8 CSC:LE4
My baseband isI9300XXLF2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
I loaded a new ROM
I9300XXALF2
Base Firmware: I9300XXALF2 (4.0.4)
Region Europe
Country: United Kingdom
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 5 June 2012
Modem: XXLF2
CSC: OXALF2
Change List: 671647
My firmware has changed but shouldn't the Baseband change as well? I also was surprised that all of my apps and everything were still there. I thought this would be wiped out on a new ROM. Do I need to worry about the Baseband and what is it? I am also curious because I did all this to get the latest OTA. I still am unable to get it. When I sign up for the software updates should I say UK as my country even tho I am in the USA. Will it matter?
LF2 IS the latest OTA.
can you post a link with your stock rom?
Baseband is Modem and like the CSC it is not always upgraded with each firmware revision .
It is also flash able on its own from the stock roms thread as per instructions .
Likewise CSC and also likewise Kernels .

Hello everyone,
My phone details are as follows:
I9100XWLPT

Carrier: Unbranded

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

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.

is not the firmware you want, but it is 4.0.4 http://uploaded.net/file/rq5g158t
Wow thanks for the quick response guys:good:
Yip I think my EFS is corrupted.
My imei number has changed to : 004999010640000 .
I made a CWM Backup before I upgraded to 4.3
I will do more research.
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

Thanks for the reply, Darke. Would this NZ firmware still be compatible for a handset in Australia, Sydney? I'll give it a try anyway

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
Hey,
my S3 4.2.2 has the baseband (modem?) I9300XXELKB running CM 10.1.3-RC2-i9300, kernel 3.0.64-CM-ge8aa6a7 [email protected] #1
I tried looking over at SamMobile for the Firmware I9300XXELKB but I can't find anything, only XXELLA? When I got the phone it was unbranded and unlocked, first boot was in french. Does it matter which Firmware I download? or can I just go with any carrier 4.2.2?
4.2 was never released for the i9300, just flash the latest available for your country. Backup your efs first then factory reset after flash.
