As we know, nobody with this phone from american countries can use the gps if they upgrade to gingerbread from european firmware.
The user FMAranda had uploaded a brazilian firmware, wich version is 2.3.4:
http://www.multiupload.com/AUQF5ITOCB But, if we flash this firmware WE CAN'T ROOT THE PHONE.
If you want to solve the gps, the SOD (until now), and root the phone, do this:
-download gingerbread 2.3.4 KPH http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JTRTHJYN
-download brazilian gingerbread
-Flash the phone like this:
boot: KPH
modem: Brazilian
pda: KPH
csc: KPH
The gps works perfectly, no more SOD, and you can root the phone as you do usually from gingerbread 2.3.3
Finally, if you want to use "coderom", you have to flash the phone as the same way as you flash KPH:
boot: coderom
modem: Brazilian
pda: coderom
csc: coderom
@yoyigo07 el gps sigue sin funcionar, pruebalo con el gps status y comenta si te da señal de algun satelite o tambien mira mis post en htc, aii lo explico mejor bueno aclaro .. esto es para telcel mexico
You can root with my ClockworkMod Recovery port and the AceGingerRoot.zip that I've posted on the same thread.
Anyway, the phone only works well for me if I have 3G connections disabled. Including GPS.
3G isn't working only for Entel Chile (frecuency 1900 mhz), works in Claro and Movistar (frecuency 850 mhz)

Thanks, now I know.
I was thinking, if I do this, the languages available will be from the brazilian FW or the european FW? Because there's some differents between the PT-PT and the PT-BR. The european FW has only the PT-PT and the brazilian the PT-BR.
The language is from european firmware, but ilarrain has created a cwm where you can root the phone from brazilian firmware. Then you don't have the create a "hybrid" firmware, at least you want to flash with coderom
So, can I root my phone without flashing the FW again?
I haven't tried, but ilarrain said you could root from brazilian firmware with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138436
I have the coderom with the file modem from brazil
Question
Hi guys, I hope one of you can help on this.
I have installed the villainROM using these instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1087522
I am experiencing the same GPS and 3GS (Entel) issues.
What should I do now in order to fix, at least, the gps issue..... possible without having to reinstall
Thanks in advance.
Has anybody from Argentina tested this firmware and found it to work with the local 3G bands (850/1900), i flashed this FW over KPH 2.3.4 but i couldn't get 3G to work on Personal.
BTW, would it be possible to flash Gingerbread but keep the stock (froyo) MODEM firmware ?
thanks for sharing this useful info but I'll wait for some more comments.

Works fine, except if your band is 1900 mhz (for example, Entel Chile)

You can't do nothing with Villain rom.
If you want to fix the gps, you most do what I said in the first post and your gps is going to work, but you will not have 3G because our band (Entel) is 1900 mhz.

Thank you for the information. Now there is something that I don't understand (sorry if I am posting this information in the wrong place) , what exactly is:
a KPH.
a Coderom.
a Mod.
What's the name of the original firmware.
you mention that you can use coderom.
boot: coderom
modem: Brazilian
pda: coderom
csc: coderom
Thanks,
Thanks to the OP; finally solved my 3G and GPS issues since I flashed over my factory stock Froyo!
Hi, I put the ROM 'S5830LUBKP7_S5830LUBKP7_S5830LUUBKP7_HOME' that's is posted on this page: http://www.chileandroid.com/t2602-android-234-para-galaxy-ace-gt-s5830l-latinoamerica and now I have Gingerbread (2.3.4) in my Galaxy Ace with the 3G of my oeprator (Entel Chile).

Good evening, ive purchase an s3 !9300 here in my country ( El salvador, Central America), i was able to root the phone and play with a bit but now i whould like to update the rom to jelly bean since im quite sure that we wont get that update officially soon enogh haha, so i was wondering if its ok to flash one of the recently released roms with jelly bean, i was thinking on the unbranded from UK that came out a few days ago. so it will save to flash that rom on my cell phone from latin america?
It's Safe dude you can flash any rom on your galaxy, you just need to be sure that you own an GT - i9300
An advice, check what modem ver have your phone, some modems work properly in some areas and others simply don't

The modem version is found on Configuración -- Acerca de -- Versión de Banda Base .. That is the modem..
I'm from Venezuela and I have my S3 on UK firmware without problem. But if you have problem with the signal strength you can find the modem here at XDA and flashing again.
hello everybody,
i'm just buy a Galaxy SIII (on website topachat)
normally, he's "nude" but on the box they write "Orange France"
i test with a SFR or FREE and i can call but i want to know what is the real model of this fone
When i try to connect my S3 on Kies , i can't upgrade it :
"votre peripherique ne prend pas en charge la mise a niveau du logiciel via Kies
version actuelle du micrologiciel: PDA:LJ1 / Phone: LID / CSC: LJ1 (FTM).
So, when i do *#1234# on the fone i see that:
AP :I9300XXDLJ1
CP: I9300XXDLID
CSC: I9300OJVDLJ1
What can i do? somebody can explain me what's happen?
Thanks a lot.

but i dont understand why Kies dont recinize my S3 and cant do upgrade?!
i buy the fone nude but he find Orange France (CSC: LJ1 (FTM).
I derivate from the error message that your phone has been blocked from being updated through Kies.
Most probably your carrier only wants pre-approved OTA updates to be available to your device.
It's quite simple to bypass that restriction; just flash the ROM from samfirmware.com and you have a untouched official ROM, not some carrier-broken stuff.
Should you feel like it, you can of course also flash aftermarked custom firmwares with root such as Wanamlite or Omega.

Thanks for your answer.
but i dont understand one thing. i buy the fone "nude".
i don't buy the fone with carrier / operator . But why when i watch the information from my fone , they write FTM (Orange France)
very strange....
Try factory resetting the phone. I had that problem with kies too and solve by factory reset. Everything will be erased though.

Hi all,
I just got my brand new I-9305 Galaxy SIII phone from SFR (a French operator) and I want to replace the operator installed ROM with the basic, standard Samsung ROM. I tried using Kies to do so (the official Samsung PC app) but it only proposes to install my operator's ROM.
So before jumping in and doing this manually I wanted to know what I should be careful about? I know there are different makes for the SIII and I was wondering how to know which make mine is. I also read about a flash counter, what is it and should I worry about it? Where can I get the official standard vanilla out of the box ROM for my phone and how can I install it? I don't want to root or sim unlock (but I don't want to completely block those options either).
This is not my first phone flashing (but I'm not an expert either) although I'm a total Smasung n00b.
Thanks!

If you have a carrier simlock and you want to unlock you might look here http://pakdroid.com/2012/12/05/how-to-factory-unlock-samsung-galaxy-s3galaxy-note-2-for-free/. For flashing roms use Odin and get the rom`s from here www.sammobile.com/firmware.

Thanks for the info. I just have one more question: to get the frimware on the sammobile site, I have to provide the name of my carrier, why is it needed? Isn't the stock ROM supposed to be carrier nidependent?
And another question (guess I had two questions ) On the XDA Odin page, there's a disclaimer about "may increase your ODIN flash count." what is that all about?
Thanks again for your help.

Have to inform the country/carrier to get the ROM on sam's site. How can I get the stock ROM? Should I choose "Unknown - DNF" as a country/carrier?
Also the PDA versions do not exactly match. I'm not talking about the XX part (I assume the Xs are fillers) but the SFR ROM on the site ends with ALK5, the "Unknown - DNF" ROM ends with ALK3 whereas my phone is ALK2.

Are you sure about that?
Doesn`t matter. Just pick one for your region.
PDA is just version number. EMA2 is out for France.
May break Kies update until you return the phone to SFR`s rom.

Some are stock some are stock with operator branding you just want the stock ones without carrier branding you would know the French branding better than me but I would guess France stock roms being XEF or VGF or you could just go for Open Europe OXA whichever you choose just download and flash via Odin then boot into recovery on your phone and wipe the Cache and Dalvik Cache re boot and set your phone up.

That's just it: the only 3 ROMs for France seem to be operator branded and, looking in the country list, I don't see anything remotely resembling "Open Europe" all the items in the "Country" list have a country and a carrier except for the last entry "Unknown - DNF" is that the basic stock non branded one?
If it's any help, my model is GT-I9305 (I found the Open Europe ROM but it's for model GT-I9300, so I guess I'm out of luck on this one?)

Hi, today finally I decided to update my S3 to the latest JB 4,3 rom, I used Odin 3.07 and the I9300XXUGMK6 update. Everything went fine but after the update was done I am unable to make or receive calls and a "Not registered to the net" appears. My phone is rooted and I can see my IMEI 15 digits when I go to the About tab. Also if the the compilation number JSS15J.19300XXUGNA7
I also have Titanium Backup Pro installed and with backups in Dropbox
I bought my unlocked factory S3 phone from Amazon just two month ago.
What should I do to to fix this problem.
Thanks

:crying:
Do the imei and serial numbers match those under the battery? Did you flash the right firmware for your country? Did you factory reset afterward? Did you check the md5 of the download?
There are hundreds of similar posts, with no guarantee of a fix -your best hope is a backup of your efs folder.

Hi, well, I am subscribed to Android Advices and the Update was downloaded from a link they sent, and yes the IMEI number is the same under the battery compartment and the state IMEI tab, I did not reset afterwards the phone ( why should I ) and the phone is an international version and the firmaware is the same I heve read is the latest from Samsung, and no I did not check the md5 .
This is the link where I read and downloaded the firmware.
mailbox:///C:/Users/SIEH/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/puuzm0wo.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=25053018#2
Titanium said the backups of the system and apps was completed and also I can see the backup files in box but could not tell if the efs folder is in it.
What do you suggest ?
Thanks
I suggest you search and read the guides and sticky threads in the general forum, as you seem to be missing some basic knowledge -or take it to a repair centre and pay them to fix it.

This worked for me....
I did factory reset and wiped everything
Flashed the firmware again with odin: I used this rom dowloaded from Sammobile (I9300XXUGNA7_I9300OJVGNA1)
I then had no Signal. Imei number also changed to the generic number 0466...
Then I flashed modem file with Odin: Modem_i9300XXELLA.tar witch I downloaded from http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/
Then I flashed Kernel with Odin: boeffla-kernel-5.2-beta3-Samsung-i9300.tar witch I also downloaded from same site.
Restarted phone and I have 4.3 running with Signal.... All OK
Just check on http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/ for the correct modem file for your firmware....
Thanks, just a question, does this apply to the international version, does the IMEI remain the same after that ? I am still afraid of doing something wrong as the phone is still working but not making and receiving phone calls.
Regards
Just a thought, can I go back to the original Android OS which the phone was sold, I presume Samsung. Then It could be easy as the only thing to do could be wipe the phone ans install the Android.

My phone is the international version. If you are still on the 4.3 version leave it like that and just flash the modem and kernel using Odin and it should work......

Great and thanks, just one question, what or how do I flash the modem, could you suggest a download ? and what Kernel should I flash, I am a novice and may mis understand some procedures. Sorry bothering you but as you say it would be better to stay on 4.3 and try your method.
Just in case it helps I try the emergency call to see if it was working and it does , don´t know if it uses the modem but I was happy just yo hear a voice on the other side.

Hi, I downloaded the following samsung version said it was the latest and stable one : I9300XXUGMK6 and the compilation # is JSS15J.I9300XXUGNA7 , and yes I used ODIN following the directions I received from Android Advises : http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AndroidAdvices/~3/jyCtyACjoz8/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email
Everything went okey and ODIN passed the process but then when I tried to make a call the Not registered to the net appeared, I can use facebook twitter email and everything else, I can call 911 ( New in Venezuela) When I go to the movile networks tab operators I can see all three that exist in Venezuela , I select the one I am suscribed MOVISTAR and it says registered on the net but after that if I try to make a call the "Not registered appears again.
Is there hope I can fix this ? Finally the IMEI is not broken as I have read in other posts and it is the same in the system status and beneath the battery.

Sorry what does efsv2 means ?
I guess you don't have an EFS backup, in the new 4.3 so they changed the way EFS (where your phone stores its IMEI number) its handled, they went from EFSv1 to EFSv2, you get no signal because differences in the band and if you try to go back to ICS o 4.1.2 you'll get an invalid imei and you won't be able to connect to the network (because your EFS is not v1 now, it's v2) / If you didn't back up you're in sort of a problem because you'll have to wait with a patched kernel and modem till samsung does something.
Español:
A mi me salía "Emergency Calls Only" y que Digitel no estaba disponible aún cuando lo seleccionaba.
Para volver a tener señal con 4.3 necesitas:
*Philz Touch (O tu recovery de preferencia)
*SuperSU
*Patched Modem by Zuluman
*Patched Kernel by Zuluman
Los archivos patched de Zuluman los consigues en: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47331446, dejalos en formato ZIP y pasalos a la memoria del teléfono + El rar del super su actualizado.
Flasheas Philz Touch con Odin y entras en modo Recovery (Botón arriba de volumen, botón home y botón de encendido)
Seleccionas instalar zip, y vas a instalar los archivos ZIPS en orden Kernel > Modem > SuperSU
y deberías tener señal entonces. (Revisa también que tu IMEI no sea inválido y que tu número de serie también lo sea)

I think it has got something to do with the EFS folder format version. Android 4.3 is V2 and 4.1.2 is V1
Some phones can read both V1 & V2. Our phones only V1. Don't know what the reason is for that.... It sucks

Everything went okey and ODIN passed the process but then when I tried to make a call the Not registered to the net appeared, I can use facebook twitter email and everything else, I can call 911 ( New in Venezuela) When I go to the movile networks tab operators I can see all three that exist in Venezuela , I select the one I am suscribed MOVISTAR and it says registered on the net but after that if I try to make a call the "Not registered appears again.
Is there hope I can fix this ? Finally the IMEI is not broken as I have read in other posts and it is the same in the system status and beneath the battery.
Regards and still waiting for my phone to be able to make and receive calls.
regards

After I flashed my phone the IMEI looked like this: 004999010640000/01
This means that that the phone can not read the original IMEI. It then gives a generic IMEI 004999010640000/01
This can be fixed with the flashing of the 4.1.2 Modem file. If your IMEI is correct then I am not sure why it is not registering on your network. Could be that you downloaded the wrong update and that this one does not contain the right CSC file for your network....

I think it has got something to do with the EFS folder format version. Android 4.3 is V2 and 4.1.2 is V1
Some phones can read both V1 & V2. Our phones only V1. Don't know what the reason is for that.... It sucks

yea same with what i think.. can u try install 'phone info' from play store? try look at country of origin and manufacturing date, my s3 shown country is korea..my friend's s3 shown from taiwan..date was 2012.7.19 ..
actually, i just bough this phone last week..replacing my s3 blue..because i like the grey color..i bough it second hand, and the owner had flashed 4.3 on it. i cant insert my sim card, not detected.. after try playing with baseband, i got unknown baseband..
finally got the solution use the ics firmware first..i figured out the ics and the baseband unknown solved..
but the emei still not correct..i think that the owner had broken the efs partition without backup..
then i send it to my friend's to flash it with jtag..the problem solved..
but i cannot use the 4.3 modem..
