I am on Stock Asia ROM:
System Version: 973.94.328.XT910.Asiaretail.en.03
Android: 4.0.4
Can someone please guide me how do I get to the official JB update?
The problem is, I am GSM and the update is apparently only CDMA
I am rooted
I tried flashing EU FW but nothing happened..some Status 6 error in the file.
Funny part is, I HAD installed JB a couple of years back when it had come, but now I have completely forgotten the procedure.
I even have all the files of that time..
Can someone just show me the way out of GSM>CDMA and then back?
Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
I am facing really weird issue with my Motorola Defy+ having Android 2.3.6
I had Android 2.3.4 installed on my defy+ which came with factory packing. Last week I was playing around with my cell with romtoolbox pro and broke something and found the "infamous" error which made me stuck on bootlogo. So I had to flash. So I flashed it (using RSD lite) with sbf DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf
It worked like a charm. Now only but major problem I'm facing is that I'm just not able to get a signal for my sim which is Vodafone India. When I insert other sim like Airtel, it works pretty well. After going through so many threads, posts, comments, hints, I just couldn't fix this issue. So can anyone of you please get this n00b out of this problem?
I'm really frustrated at the moment
I wanna use Baseband switcher, but I can't cause it's not possible to use without root!! And as we know Android 2.3.6 defy+ is "Unrootable".
I also tried to switch back to 2.3.4 but it was all in vain.
No success!! Just no success!!
I tried other sbf files such as DFP-1321, DFP-139, DFP-2311, DFP-2312, etc etc.
If it is Android 2.3.6 then I don't find any signal for my Vodafone India ****.
If it is Android 2.3.4 then I'm just not able to flash it. All I get it is black screen.
I apologize, if my post it too long. I hope I made my problem and myself clear in it. Please help me!
Edit: Mods, please modify the thread title as I failed to add [Q] in it at the beginning.

Guys i've one simple question.
MY Atrix is already unlock and it under stock rom.
my question is,
is there any side effect when ever i try to update my device via Over the air update, when ICS Come?
If you are on a stock rom then it should update just fine.
unlocked boot loader probably won't help,thats why when I updated mine to .141 and it relocked it,I just left it that way.
If your bootloader is unlocked and your are running a custom rom then you shouldnt get OTA updates and if you do they will probably lead to issues. If you want the stock motorola ICS i suggest waiting till it comes out flashing back to the stock 2.3.6 and the manually upgrading to ICS
Sir how do i know if i have a stock firmware?
My Cousin gave this to me, and i didn't know if it's stock or not.

Check for "unlocked" at top left of the boot image screen, download and run "root checker" from playstore, it will let you know if the device has been rooted. android version should be 2.3.6 and build ends with 141. Sorry, it's been a while since I've run stock ROM.
sir my version is gb si 2.3.4 T_T but when i check the Software update via On-the-air-Firware no update available. T_T
sorry i've so many question
Hello guys!
I have Galaxy S3 I9300 GSMH.
It's unbranded, i made a research in the forum and it's supposed to be a factory unlocked phone. following the coment "But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)" by dr.ketan in http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1801022
My actual firmware installed is the UBBLG2. It's running ICS 4.0.4.
So, here is the thing, I need to know if I can stall any Official Firmware from Samsung with Jelly Bean 4.1.1.
1. What Official firmware should I install?
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4? Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Looking at these site and post we know the lastest firmware is I9300XXDLIB. Should I go with this one?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/
Last thing. OR should I wait for the 4.1.1 release to this baseband version I9300UBBLG2 ?
Take care guys and thanks for all your help.

YES
1. What Official firmware should I install?
Only one JB official the Polish release .
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
If you want to or have network problems .
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4?
You can but why //
Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
No
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Yes no updates
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/

Thanks for your reply JJEgan
so to make a complete picture we got.
1. I can install JB 4.1.1 Official Firmware Polish Release.
2. I don't have to change the CSC. That must remain untouched.
3. Why will this affect future updates if it is a Official Firmware used on a Factory unlocked I9300? so I won't ever get updates for bug fixes and improvements? How will I handle that?
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3. Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband? being this a international factory unlocked.
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Thanks

You dont have to no must remain untouched .

Same way as you are now updating via XDA .
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3.
It is being rolled out .
Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband?
Baseband is nothing to do with firmware .
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best .
Or read and learn and flash stock rom from XDA ,

Thank again for your help, I don't want to bother you, but you make me feel confused.
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS ."
But you do not clarify Why this official firmware from Samsung does affect future updates. I mean the Reason. WHY?
And then you do not answers my question and just told me "Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best ." even when you said before "will not be released its ICS ."
If there is something else i should know please point me in the right direction, i just want to know and learn more to be sure before installing because it doesn't make sense installing JB if you wont ever get updates from Samsung or android for bug fixes and improvement updates.
Sorry if I'm bothering you, don't take it personal.
Repeat you need to read and learn .
Update path official via Kies or OTA OK .
No problem whenever the update is released for your phone you get it .
Alternative via XDA and flash stock rom on day of release no waiting or custom rom .
Example official JB you let us say six weeks wait .
XDA has stock JB released for Poland you can install that .
But you may then lose your official upgrade path as the codes no longer match as you do not have official firmware for your phone .
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS >> no sorry you are confused .
Official Kies and OTA upgrades are not part of XDA .
BASICS SGS3 I9300 International Only .

Hong Kong probably
I recently wanted to flash the ICS 4.0.4 ROM to XT 910 (GSM UMTS) for Israel but did not succeed. And I am sure I did it a year ago and worked well but now I can only root. Even I made it worse. Now the internet does not work no matter what I do. I have tried different ROMs and this Motorola ROM flashing is just very difficult for me. Can anyone help me to guide through step by step flashing and with valid downloadable files ? Part of the thread files do not work for 2.3.6 I guess people went from 2.3.6 to Jelly Bean or ICS. But in Israel our carriers do not update from 2.3.6.

The reason it says your on the latest firmware is because you are rooted. At&t firmware is hard to come by as they lock the bootloader and device down. If you are not bothered about root flash stock firmware and you can uodate OTA.
I have the same problem except that my phone is not rooted, im on stock AT&T Android 5, but it still says i have the latest firmware.
Someone told me that it has to be connected to AT&T cell towers to find the update but even that didn't work for me.

I will give it a shot but first i need to find the stock firmware because its hard to find for my device specifications, and i will let you know if it worked for me
Edit: flashing the stock firmware locks phone to only at&t network since i use different network i will not try to update it
