[Q] Help finding Stock ROM [4.1.1] - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys (girls), I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) and its locked to 3 Three UK (H3G). I've been looking for a why to sim unlock it and there only seems to be two options one pay for a code or downgrade stock firmware to 4.1.1 and unlock it using Service Mode.
I've downgraded it once to 4.1.2 and it worked fine but still can not get service mode to work correctly I've been looking for the stock firmware for 4.1.1 but can not find a working download link anywhere on the internet gone through every page on google looking. I was hoping someone on here could point me in the right direction or maybe have on the computer they can post to the internet somewhere.
The file I need is called: I9300XXDLJ1_I9300H3GDLJ1_H3G.zip
Here is the link to SamMobile but it does not work. (I'm not allowed to post links so you will have to added SamMobile yourself )
firmwares/download/7286/I9300XXDLJ1_I9300H3GDLJ1_H3G/
Any reply or help would be great. I just hope I'm posting this in the correction section.
Update #1
I was just about to posted about broken FW download on SamMobile when the link started download so I'm downloading now and I will update if it works and I can SIM Unlock my phone.
Update #2
I installed Stock Firmware 4.1.1 and tried SIM Unlock using Service Mode and it still failed, I've even tried install patch Kernal and Modem files and it failed as well. I've install latest Stock Firmware 4.3 and I'm just going to pay the £10 to have it unlock to all networks less hassle.

firmware update
hi, first of all ask yourself if you actually want to stay with official rom - i would suggest to install one of the custom ones - im on Illusion-ICS v1.0.1 - XXLPB 4.0.3 - you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488063&page=5 - and then use a jig (i bought it from ebay for £1.50) to fool the tech support at your provider or samsung into thinking that you had never manually installed firmware so your warranty is still fine.
However, if you want to stick with official roms than check out this page - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950.
hope it helps...

Firstly very you so much for the reply, i tried download in there but the link i cant conntect to, would u have any other link i can go to?? thank you!!!
hmmm, strange, it also doesnt open for me now. Try going to google and make the following search without the @@ - @forum.xda-developers.com/[email protected]
Make a back up ;]]
Thank you!! I will try to download later.
Just wondering how do I flash u gave me that customer rom? is via Odin??
If you want to try flashing the original ones from the link above @@ then you should use Odin. If you want to install Custom Illusion ICS then you will need CWR (clockworkrecovery).

Looking for an Official Rom... Please Help!!!

I have had my phone for 10 months and I have just started having hardware issues with it. There is a crackinling noise from the speaker during a call and now it says that my sim card is not inserted. i have established that these are 2 common faults with the early S2's so I want to send it off to be repaired before my warranty has run out. The problem I have is that I rooted the phone and I'm currently using Lightning 6.1 rom on it and want to revert it back to official carrier software but as Multiupload is currentl down i cant download the relevant rom from the thread in the development section.
As I am new i have to post my issue here, can anyone please supply me with the correct Official Orange UK Firmware. I made a note of the stock firmware which was on my phone before I changed it. --2.6.35.7-I9100xwke7-cl215725 [email protected]#2
So from what I understand i require a XWKE7 rom.
If anyone can help, either by uploading the rom for me or pointing me in the correct direction of a working download link I would be most greatful.
Cheers Guys

Try checkfus from the market as well.
It lets you quickly find what is the latest firmware from your carrier and then from the web site can download.
Check intratechs original carrier firmware thread and see if his links are working yet.
Good luck.

help with bell 1717m

hi
purchased a bell i717 with official bell ics installed.
tried to get it unlocked but fastgsm and cellunlocker could not unlock via usb or iemi.
found a user in anothe i717 thread unlocking but had to revert back to 2.3.6
i now canot get kies to update to ics official.
what i am looking for is bell official ics for odin flashing.
or a good custom rom for the note.
any help would be appreciated .
i tried stockroms.net but they only have the 2.3.6 which i downgraded with.
i have gone thru dozens of threads but no good links to bell official ics for the i717
thanks,jeff
Samfirmware.com has the stock bell ICS ROM.

And its in the .tar format for Odin3. Get the password while you're downloading the rom.
thanks to both of you,thats exactly what i did .
haven't checked if kies will let me update but the samfirware one got me back to ics.
Kies will let you update with your stock phone. Just don't do anything besides unlock it. After you upgrade you can flash CWM and root.
OP....could you please put the word "solved " in your thread title ?
It helps other users to find solutions to their questions, and keeps the threads clean.
Thank you !!.....g

Oh sorry that is right, I did see the mexico telcel firmwares. I forgot to mention I am using an AT&T S4 Zoom. Is it able to use the Telcel firmware?
The AT&T firmware is not available, have to go to an AT&T Service Center. Telcel firmware will not work because AT&T locked the bootloader, and either flashing fails or soft bricks your device. The AT&T version is also the only S4 Zoom to never have seen a single OTA update.
My advice is if you can get it flashed back to stock, get rid of it and get any other version.

HELP Need stock Firmware 4.1.1, for S III I9300, cant download it anywhere!!!

Hi guys,
I need firmware 4.1.1 for the samsung S III I9300, I literally spent all day yesterday looking and found several links but they were all hotfile links that are obv. dead.
The phone is currently locked to o2 UK not sure if I need the firmware to be of the same carrier..?
I want to flash the firmware via ODIN so then I can unlock the bootloader myself and then use the 'secret code' to network unlock in order to flash the latest Lineage..
Please help..pulling my hair out!!!!!
Thanks in advance
The bootloader was never locked for this phone.
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.

Someone badly misinformed you. If your phone is locked to o2 you must flash o2 firmware. Once the simlock is off you can flash any firmware.
If you have upgraded to 4.3 you cannot unlock the sim lock. There is no secret code. It was done by hex editing a file but is obsolete on 4.3.
If you are rooting to flash lineage you root via chainfire and odin, flash a custom recovery via odin and then flash lineage from the custom recovery you flashed.
If you want simlock off and you're on 4.3 you have to pay for it. Downgrading isn't possible unless you have a copy of your efs from 4.1.1.
