Hello, I used agentJBM's guide to update from 1.6 to 2.1 and haven't had any problems since, until now. When I try to update to 2.3 it says "no update available" even though the roll out map says it's available. I've tried checking from the phone and while hooked up to the PC.
I checked the phone according to the rollout map and I have "X10i GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897". Seems right, but aren't I supposed to be getting this update to?
I realize I can flash it but I'm the type that was looking foward to the official update, straight from the factory and I was just curious why my phone won't acknowledge the update. If this question is in the wrong place, please just tell me where to post and I will do that, thank you.
try reinstal seus or pc companion to get the latest update

Downloadw the latest SEUS and PC-Companion.. and then try updating it .. This should work
Just not working
I appreciate the replies, but I just uninstalled both PC companion and SEUS, and nothing is seeing an update!
Again, I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012380
Both my phone and the programs say "no update available"
This is very frustrating and I would greatly appreciate some help or an answer of some kind. AgentJBM has ignored my question, but in his guide he stated I would be among the first to receive the official 2.3 update! And I don't see anybody else having this problem! Please help!

Hmmm okay looking at the rollout map, the firmware for your customization was rolled out only 4 days ago 16/08/2011. so technically u shud be okay to upgrade, not sure y u cant really, ur on the at&t network arent u? wot i wud recommend u to do is use this which i have found for u, it is the official stock se 2.3.3 global generic firmware http://www.multiupload.com/G5I7H9OQRA (props to the uploader). just use flashtool to flash the ftf and ur ready to go and will be running official SE 2.3.3 software
Ok, I am on ATT, I am concerned that I cannot get the update, but as long as I have a working phone I am ok. Thank you very much for the link, I am confused about flashing without the newbie guide assuring me I'm not missing anything. But since you say it's simple, just like I did last time, then I will go ahead and flash it now. Thank you again!

Hello everyone,
I address your genius to tell me if anyone knows the baseband MAUI.11AMD.W11.37.SP.V17.F1, 2012/03/14 4:54 p.m. on the phone is Chinese Star galaxy i9220
My problem is that you just made me a gift this phone but the google market is asia version and no way to install the android market European instead, so I will have wanted to extract the rom, the change by changing the android market and then reinject it into the phone, or if it can work, put a rom CyanogenMod without changing the baseband but the unlocking.
I swim a little there because I know the whole procedure but only on sony xperia x10.
If anyone can help me it would be really nice.

Btw, if anyone has found answers to the baseband issues,Please post
I live in China and I bought a GT-I9300 yesterday.
I noticed the phone was out of date when I got home so I started the update process, the first update went smoothly the phone rebooted and I checked if there was any other updates and there was one. The update downloaded successfully and rebooted to install and got to 31% and failed out and rebooted the phone.
At first I thought it was because the phone was partially set up to show that it wasn't a fake phone, so I did a factory reset and started the whole process over, and the same thing the update fails out at 31%.
The phone suggested I use Kies, but Kies says my phone's current firmware version is not supported via kies.
So I took to the internet to try to manually update, I spent the better part of yesterday and today trying to figure out everything about this phone but I just can't seem to get a 100% conclusion on anything so I don't want to try flashing anything and possibly messing up my phone. There just seems to be 50 different models that all have different roms and I don't want to flash the wrong one.
Info from Kies: Current firmware version: PDA:LF1 / PHONE: LEF / CSC: LF1 (XXX)
From my phone:
Model Number: GT-I9300
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: I9300XXLEF
Build Number: IMM76D.I9300ZSALF1
Part of the problem was the guy was selling both the Western Europe model and the Hong Kong model, I was told I was getting the Hong Kong but he may have given me the Western Europe model by mistake.
From what I have read XX means means Western Europe model but another website said ZS was Hong Kong? I don't know if I go off the Baseband version or the build number.
Then I thought I will just root the device, slap CMW on it do a backup and then slap CM10.1 on it and call it a day. But following this rooting guide I need to know which version of the phone I have first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
Also CM10.1 only has 1 I9300 (International) build is that a universal I9300 ROM that is safe to use on my phone?
Long post but the help is appreciated!
So I think I figured out why this isn't updating, and I think it might be rooted as I see the SuperSU app installed. I don't really care if my device is rooted or not. SuperSU has a "Clean up feature" but it isn't uninstalling and removing root.

I'd suggest you return the phone to the guy and ask for a completely clean no root version of the phone. But if that's too much of a hassle right now you can just flash stock firmware using Odin.

Right I would just flash to stock with Odin, but that was part of my question. Which stock rom do I use? Or does it even matter and any ROM will work, I think I have the Hong Kong model but I am not completely sure and I don't want to risk bricking the phone with the wrong ROM.
Your phone does seem to be an International version which means any ROM except the China ROMs will work.
The reason Kies will not update the phone is because the CSC is XXX which is pretty strange but seeing how the phone came rooted someone has been playing.
Do you want to use the phone in HK or CN? and do you need Chinese input?

I use it in China, I rarely to HK. I don't need the Chinese language on the phone although it would be nice as I am trying to learn Chinese, but I could live without it.
Thanks for your help! Much appreciated.
I a going to flash this ROM today and see what happens!

The ROM you are going to flash should be ok, if you ever need Chinese input then flash any ZS or you can just install Google pinyin IME.
BTW If flashing the ROM you was going to, does work ok, then your better off having the International version than the Chinese version anyway, since you are not stuck to waiting for Chinese ROMs or installing hybrid ROMs.
Yeah I am having trouble finding a download that will work here in China and my VPN connection is down so it will be sometime before I can even download this ROM. samfiles or samfirmware can't remember the website, is blocked in China, hotfile.com is blocked which seem to be about the only 2 websites that host all the firmware downloads.
EDIT: Speak of the devil, my VPN service just released an update for their connection app, I am downloading the ROM now. Should be able to report back in around an hour and let you all know.
EDIT: Spoke to soon, VPN issues again.
would someone be willing to download I9300XXELL4_I9300OXAELL4_BTU.zip for me and throw it up on a dropbox account or some other website besides hotfile.com I am having trouble downloading this file from China.

Yay, I was able to get my VPN connection to stay on long enough to download the firmware and I was able to successfully apply 4.1.2 Jelly Bean to my phone!

Hi to everybody. I am new to this forum, asking a lot of questions about my new P780 phone.
I am italian, I am living in Latvia since a while, and yesterday I bought this phone (very nice) form another user, so the phone is used.
the phone has 1 gb memory, and the firmware installed is:
model: p780_row
android: 4.2.1
baseband version: P780.V17, 2013/05/21 04:13
build: P780_row_S110_130629
I reset the setting of the phone (from menu), and now I would like to do the following
- the software is telling me that there is an update, but after downloading it, it tells that zip is not correct, and I cannot install (the update to be downlaoded is --S112_130717)
- the languages available are a lot, but no italian language available: this is not an issue, but I'd prefer to have it in Italian language, if possible
- I cannot connect via wondershare mobilego software, to manage my phone from PC (at the beginning it was working - after I tried to upgrade, no way to connect any more)
- change the desktop: I was used to a galaxy S4 shell, is it possible to change it and have something similar?
- update android to 4.2.2: is it possible? I saw a lot of negatives reviews for 4.4.2 (kit kat), is it worth of?
- is it possible/necessary to root the phone? which can be the advantages?
thanks in advance and regards
Alex
PS: if you want to give me some links where I can find the materials, instead of replying, it will be much appreciate anyway. ciao
Care to have a look at the menu sir?

shall I have to keep all settings of V5? DA/DL checksum? then load scatter file, press "firmware upgrade", wait, connect the phone, and go?
Yes.
edit....
Did you succeded ?
thanks to everybody , just a couple of additional issues
HI guys
after hours, yes thanks I succeded!
Flashtools v3 works fine, v5 does not work at alll.. cannot understand why
I installed the "latest" 228 firmware, rooted, with recovery, and everything works fine.. there are just a two issues by now which make me concern:
- there is a PMT error: the flashtools give me 28GB partition.. altough I formatted it, I re-loaded the firmware 228, and it's working fine, there is still this PMT error..
- I have latvian 3g sim on SIM1 (local sim), everything is fine; if I put 2nd SIM on sim2 (4g sim, italian one), the phone cannot get any signal from 2nd sim, so I cannot call nor receive telephone calls.. I suppose that it's the 900MHZ problem, bt I am not sure.. I put latest
Lenovo_P780_S228_ROW_PreRooted_TWRP.zip
but still no problem, and I cannot use the phone as dual sim.. Any ideas???
by now, with these two issues, I can still use the phone as a normal single sim phone, but I'd like to use it as a dual sim (this its the prupose when I bought it)
thanks
