Hi
I need stock rom, Three (3) Sweden.
I would like to downgrade but I don't think you can do that from 4.3 right?
Found a link to one version but link was broken.
Problem is that I removed the provider lock a long time ago. But for some reason it came back when I upgraded to 4.3.
Then I bought a sim unlock code from my provider but that won't work now. Probably cause the stock rom I use now is international.
Any tips?

You need to quote the original poster not me.
Also don't go giving the post when you don't understand it.
Read up on pit files and why they are a last resort. Theres a reason its called rescue or emergency firmware. Only used when the phone is soft bricked and all else has failed.

Thanks. Yes it's Tre. But as I understand it I will brick my phone if I try to downgrade from 4.3 so I'll probably just stick to 4.3 unless you know something I don't?
Anyhow, I think I will have to have the shop fix it. I managed to find the stock rom now and reflashed it but the unlock code I got from them still don't work. So I don't see any other option, I need to have it unlocked and I allready paid for it.
Thanks anyhow.

I can't use that one. It's pre-rooted and for Korean. I am swedish.
And I agree, thanks for trying to help but if you don't really know how it's best you don't try at all.

The only reason you'd need the stock kernel is if you needed to flash it back for some reason. For example, you flashed an insecure kernel to root the phone, or flashed a custom kernel. But then you wanted to flash the stock kernel back.
Otherwise, you don't really need it. The stock firmware has the stock kernel packaged inside of it.

grrrr why is this so hard... i cant even extract the firmware because the password is incorrect, i'm going to go bald before my time at this rate lol
when i click on the links to download from multiupload it either downloads i-livid or directs me to deposit files and i get the message "This file does not exist, the access to the following file is limited or it has been removed due to infringement of copyright. "
all i need is the official stock for S2 locked to orange UK, an insecure kernal to root the phone, unlock it, then put the secure kernal back.... it sounds so simple but it's proven not the case

Where did you download the firmware from? They should have supplied a password with on the download page. Alternatively, you can look on sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com. I was able to find BVKJ4 on both those sites.
EDIT to add: also, multiupload has been shut down for some time now by the DOJ and FBI.

ok worked it out if you hover over the region it tells you, only problem i want 2.3.5/6 and there isn't one for Orange UK
this might sounds like a stupid question, but i want to use giffgaff (o2 network), could i just flash o2 stuff onto phone or would it still be locked to orange?

Why are you downgrading to GB to do a SIM unlock?
A quick Google search for "i9100 unlock sim" yielded:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507472
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360174
and many, many more pages. None of them say to downgrade to GB.
EDIT to add: in fact, there are two apps for SIM unlocking the Galaxy SII on the Play Store: one from Chainfire, and one from Helroz. Both are free.

I have tried both of those apps and both failed, phone was rooted with ICS but the codes weren't found, as i have failed to unlock it myself i took it to two different shops to unlock, both failed to unlock my phone and suggested that i should downgrade back to GB and try again to see if it works, tbh i really dont know what to do next which is why i thought i'd try to unlock from GB.
like i said i really have no idea what to do next so any tips would be great, thanks

Yeah dose where my first tries and sammobile was where I found the Telcel one, but the SG3 was just released on Iusacell last Saturday so i guess is still a little to early to be found on the regular sites, that's why I'm asking here.

In advance thanks for help a noooooob friend.
P.D. sorry , i can't help you becouse my phone is telcel and not iusacell
telcel and iusacell are the same, you all need the APN's that's all that matters.
if you want you should use kie to get the original rom

did you try kies? also you can just flash a diff boot animation for the phone and send it back, trust me ppl at their tech support don't know anything about this
edit: I sent my old 03d to telcel with a euro firmware
Tried kies but I had no luck, I'm gonna wait a few more days to see if the problem persists and to see if the ROM is released, and as you said worst case scenario I'll be sending my phone with an unbranded stock ROM and hope for the best haha

You would need to root the phone and then use a mod or an app for unlocking your phone, you can do this without the need of flashing another ROM, I believe I saw an app for unlocking the S3 on the market just look for s3 simunlock. Just remember you need to root your phone first. Also there is a toolkit for flashing the s3 on the forums and the option to simunlock is there too.

Hi, As some of you might know, hotfile is dead, and all the links for the S3 i9305's (EE) stock firmware are dead too.
I was wondering if anyone here knows where else I can get the ROM or if you could possibly upload it if you have it.
Thanks!
I9305XXBMF1 is EE stock 4.1.2 (31.05.2013)
http://rapidgator.net/file/1c83529a7337f8b12e1c42ffe609d070
Why not choose 4.3? Or a latest version of 4.1.2. it won't make a difference if it's not EE's, it's still stock firmware
I9305XXUEMKC 4.3 (28.11.2013)

I just installed the 4.3 firmware you linked and now mobile data has stopped working, and since I'm guessing the bootloader was updated along with installing this firmware I will not be able to go back until it's cracked by someone...
Dunno what to do now.

What would happen if I try to downgrade with ODIN and it doesn't work? Would it brick or would nothing happen?
I downgraded from 5.0.2 using this firmware earlier today. It does definitely work. Too bad there's still not a root method and it looks like pitpin gave up on his.
Is it pre unlocked or do we have to get the phone unlocked again ? I am currently on unlocked lollipop.
Sim unlock has nothing to do with ROM files. The unlocked or locked status won't change.

it won't brick your phone. you will just have stock Samsung firmware without any bloatware. Don't listen to the guy above lol. But no it won't unlock it. You must get the unlock code from your carrier or a third party before you flash another firmware or it won't be able to be unlocked till you flash back and enter the code in on your carriers firmware.
