can i ???

Hey guys after having problems with no sound during calls on my s3 I've managed to get orange to send me a replacement handset only thing is although the one I had was branded it was sim unlocked so I had no worry in flashing it but there's every chance the one I'll be sent will be sim locked :( my question is this will I still be able to debrand it by flashing it with I9300XXBLG8 using Odin or will the process not work or give me problems because it's sim locked thanks in advance!

That's an older firmware (by date) than XXBLG8.

Hi in order to go back to the lg8 modem from the lh1 do i have to flash the whole lg8 firmware? Or is there just the lg8 modem i can flash? I flashed the lh1 using cwm, is there the same zip file to go back to lg8 please?

Thanks..

Guys this not the right thread for sim unlocking. This is for stock firmware. I suggest you do a little peeking around the forum and go to the correct thread

for answers.
[Galaxy S III General] Don1973:
But we are not asking about sim unlocking ! We are asking if you can flash STOCK firmware over branded firmware on sim locked handsets and as this is stock firmware thread I belive we are in the right place !?

That's exactly what I'm after too. I don't care about unlock either. So can anyone help us please? Thank you
[Galaxy S III General] ratsalad:

[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
OK great so that will not cause any kind if problems? And what about warranty if I have to send the handset in for whatever reason. Thanks for the help
[Galaxy S III General] ratsalad:
For warranty purposes just flash back your original firmware, you shouldn't need to do anything else. But if you have rooted you'll need to run Triangle Away to reset the counters.

Flashed XXBLG8 - getting error invalid MMI code

I've read through the various posts in the forum, but I cannot seem to get a complete / definitve answer to my problem.

Phone: Galaxy S3

Original Firmware: Stock Vodafone Ireland (can't remember the exact version, but can trace it if required).

Phone originally was network locked, but unlocked with key from Vodafone (no voodoo etc).

Description:

Downloaded Stock XXBLG8 from 1st post in this thread.

Used a Win 7x32 with no Kies installed and with ODIN 3.04 flashed the phone.

No problems detected during flashing. When completed, did *#1234#

Found that phone had been updated correctly to AP:I9300XXBLG8.

Changed CSC to BTU.

Checked phone in download mode and firmware listed as "Official Samsung", no yellow triangle.

Checked in Kies and found that phone was upgradeable via Kies (yesterday got LH1 update via Kies).

Problem:

Since update, have a problem accessing MMI codes. The basic ones like *#06# or *#0000# and similar, work fine. Others (more complex) for example *#7465625#, do not work. Typing them produces an error "Connection error or invalid MMI code". I know this particular code worked before flashing to XXBLG8.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Any help gratefully accepted.
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
Hiya

i think i saw a thread in regards to that. I think what they said is that it has to with region, provider etc.. I have an international S3 with LG8 my husband has a orange S3 with LF2 and certain codes work on my phone but not on his and the other way round.

Not much help but what i have experienced with our phones.

Jess
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
My bad. I must have misread ur post. Apologies.

Yes u can flash stock firmware over any branded rom on the S3, locked or not.

In case of warranty, download a copy of the firmware that came with ur phone and flash that if u need warranty.

When done, go into download mode and check if the counter is at 0. If not, as mentioned earlier, run "triangle away" by Chainfire.

I am on an international S3 from Orange. I know it was sim unlocked before as i tried it with that code before. ( Before i flashed LG8 I als had the Orange sign on startup but that is gone too)

Any help would be appreciated.

[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
No start by reading the information .

You get an official firmware update when your phone vendor updates it not when stock firmware is posted on XDA .

If you want official contact your vendor or Samsung this is XDA .

[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
My phone is from (SEB) which means Baltic States... but i bought my phone in Kosovo, and i live there. So, does it means that my phone will get new updates OTA just in Baltic States?!

In Kies

PDA:LFB / PHONE:LFB / CSC:LF1 (SEB)
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Phone provider as defined by the product codes gets updates for that code .

So your updates are SEB .

Or join XDA Developers and flash stock rom .

[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
So, is there a posibility to change states, puting for exemple UK or Germany?
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:

hi, this is my first reply, i just finished registration,

i'm using my s3 in australia now, i have baseband version: i9300XXLF2, Build number: I9300XALF2

does it mean i have to use a firmware that is especially for Australia, can't use your latest united state one???:)
[Galaxy S III General] watsa:
U can use any build you want provided it is for I9300. US does not have I9300, I think you mean UK one?
[Galaxy S III General] timothy838:
Oh, yea, UK one, thanks a lot!

Then what are the differences between uk and australia one???

what are the advantages and disadvantages?

And what does it mean by separate kernal and separate modem??

i know what kernal and modem are,

thanks a lot!!!
[Galaxy S III General] watsa:
I think there should not be any disadvantage, the only one I saw was LG8 was not listing India in yahoo news widget. I solved this by using an indian build, setting up my data and flashing non wipe LG8 over it

If you are flashing full rom no need to worry about separate kernel/modem. They are for people who want only modem/kernel updated on previous builds
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
Aren't really that many differences really. You can always flash the correct CSC for your region (Australia). Just remember that when you change CSC's, it will wipe your phone.

I am in the U.S. and I use the Unbranded UK firmwares without any problem. I also use the BTU for my CSC.
[Galaxy S III General] MrFhenix:
Mr baldilocks do you notice any difference in the signal or responsiveness or what nut?? im wondering if its any noticeable updates!!
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
The current ICS firmware (XBLG8) is def more responsive.
[Galaxy S III General] MrFhenix:
Baterry life ??

Better signal ???

Oh I use my phone... My screen shots will tell u that. I just don't like being annoyed with notifications. So when I want to check for notifications... I do. ;)
