It's a random prob in Check Fus Advanced option.

Go to Standard option

In Choose a firmware box, select Android (nothing more)

Go to Advanced option

Provide fw's info

Click on Check firmware

Click on Download

As for how to flash... unzip the downloaded file and flash the *.tar.md5 file using PDA option in Odin.

Hope this helps.

just posted in the Need to know your stock thread, i have a telecom nz branded rom. (attached details) any recommendations on which unbranded rom i can use.
[Galaxy S III General] flashmeat:
OMG

Am i right in saying that this is the Galaxy S3 ROM that can be installed on, say, my Samsung Nexus??????

Thanks

Any of them mate, they will all be fine. I'm on Omega custom rom at the moment and it works no problem with Telecom. One thing I would like to know is, what modem does telecom use, I didn't get my s3 thru them?

Hey it seems not a problem of the downloader software since i can download other firmwares like the taiwanese one. what i can't download is australian firmware. Is there anyway to download the australian firmwares manually? Really want the unbranded australian firmware! :(

Yeh tisnt working for me either I get the same error box as you when trying to d/l any of the aussie ones.

Question: I noticed in Sammobile June ROM release but for a branded phone. I have unbranded unlocked phone, Does it matter if I install the branded ROM on my phone and then remove the carrier bloatware? Or is there any danger ?
[Galaxy S III General] rizdroid:
You're right. The error has nothing to do with the one I've been facing once in a while. :(

Tried via Check Fus non-GUI and it returns Error #20. Googled it and seems this error has to do with unexpected end of connection.

​
[Galaxy S III General] Muke88:
Is there any other way of accessing the firmwares other than the FUS downloader? It's accessing through the Firmware Update server,so it should be possible to download it manually I think. Since the Australian Firmware is indeed there and recognized by the FUS downloader, what could be the hindering problem?

I haven't seen any other places that offer download of the Australian unbranded version. Anyone know a site that could have it?

EDIT: I found someone who had the same problem with ERROR #20 when downloading a firmware and here is how he solved it:

"I was able to force the non gui version to use tor and that solved my issue and I was able to download the file needed. It seems maybe my ISP was not routing the connection to the file location as it should have. All the other traffic was being routed but the actual file download was not."

Does anyone know how to do the thing he did? I assume TOR is the webbrowser for anynomus surfing, but how do you force the non-gui to use tor?

Branded means branded by a network operator amount of branding variable .

Sim locked means locked to an operator .

Branded does not mean its sim locked as some networks supply branded unlocked sim free phones .

[Galaxy S III General] vittogn:
I do as well, much less than before though.

JB? Is this related to speed or memory management and priorities?
[Galaxy S III General] Mikulec:
Yes, I just wanted to point out that only phone from operator (which I marked as branded) could be sim locked, which does not mean that every branded phone is simlocked.

quick question is this update for all international SGS3 around the world or just UK region?

I check mine via OTA and Kies, and there was no update at all, still XXBLFB. Is it because CF Root?

I'm Located in Indonesia.

Thx
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
You can use this for all international.
[Galaxy S III General] ph3nom:
ya i know but i wonder why i'm not getting any update
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
If you know why you ask? :D

Anyway, Kies sucks. Your phone deserves better. Do it the XDA way ;)
[Galaxy S III General] watsa:
because there is no update for indonesia yet? There isnt one in india too atm. Still on LFB officially
[Galaxy S III General] ph3nom:
Well i guess the update is for Europe Region only.

Just gonna update when it is available in Kies or OTA. Sticking to XXBLFB

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know what the difference between XXLG8 and XXBLG8? They seem to be both UK. I was just wondering if anyone has any information. I am currently on LG8 and was thinking of changing my modem to BLG8 because of connectivity issues with ATT.
[Galaxy S III General] yassine772001:
Yes you can change the CSC to BTU and you can in future do Updates with Kies and OTA.... do this;

*#272*your IMEI# and change to BTU

Random question, but is there anyway to get a CWM version of the official firmware so i wouldn't have to use odin?
[Galaxy S III General] Omartee94:
Cyanogenmod back to stock

I have Cyanogenmod 9 installed on my S3, does the video allow me to go back to the stockrom as well. If not how do you go back to the official Samsung ROM from Cyanogenmod
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
In short, NO.

Either restore a Nandroid back u did on stock rom or flash a new stock rom using Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] Omartee94:

Updated to the latest firmware a couple of days ago and like others noticed battery life wasn't as good. Found that the magic word for s voice had been reactivated, turned that off and back to normal battery. Only problem is that they've removed the option to have it on whole plugged in.

Also noticed that can turn off vibration and noise notification can now be turned off for email and still have notifications when before it was only possible to have it vibrate.

Dunno if it was just me but before on charge it would only get to 99% but now it gets to 100.

Hi, funny thing... I have currently I9300XXBLFB on my SGS III and no updates available. When tried Kies it came up Device not supported...
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Do u really need to quote the OP here?? :rolleyes:

Download and flash via Odin if u wish to update.
[Galaxy S III General] Razyre:
Well, I tried this ROM with high hopes and it COMPLETELY let me down.

Unless my S3 developed some serious hardware problems from me flashing that ROM, I think something went wrong or my device just wasn't happy.

Using XXBLG8 I was getting worse battery life, the camera app still only seems half fixed (videos still suffer from a lack of bass, which is fixed by another app I don't want to use), WiFi was dropping out constantly and the phone would stop being functional after so many locks of the screen. The touchscreen and capacitive buttons would become completely unresponsive and using the power button would only dim and undim the screen as opposed to actually turning it off. The web browser has also been made worse by Samsung for a reason I cannot begin to fathom why.

To be honest, this update reminds me of my old Wave, going from Bada 1.2 to Bada 2.0. There were a few good features (Like the brightness setting in the notification bar on the S3) but you paid the price with features that were good before broken and worse battery life.

Has anyone else had an experience like this?

When I have the patience, I'll flash a completely new XXBLG8 ROM and recover my apps using Titanium backup to see if it makes any difference than syncing with Play.

This ROM was a complete disappointment after a week and for the few things it did fix, it was worse in the whole...

EDIT: Read through the thread for like the 3rd time and finally found some people with the same problem. Looks like a wipe and re-install may just solve the problem ^^
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
This update has been perfect for me so far. Been using it for quite a while.
[Galaxy S III General] ASHLEY117:
had the same issues until i did a full wipe and fixed all problems. personally prefer LG6 system with LG8 modem.:good:

Excuse me for my Noobish-ness

Hi guys,

As you can tell from my username I used to own a HOX well 3 to be precise, NO longer!

Back on subject, I have had my SGS3 for 5 days now nd glad to have moved on over, However i am confused on what roms to use etc, I have dabled in ODIN so i know how to flash using that, What i am confused about is my phone is an unbranded handset but im on T-Mobile UK. Kies see the firmware as: PDA:LF4 / PHONE:LF2 / CSC:LF2 (TMU) Now hazarding a guess it means its a T-mobile Firmware? ( No customization on it at all ).

I would like to root my handset and have a custom rom ( Preferably cm9/10 or aas i have come from Htc i have gotten used to ARHD Roms from mike.) The confusing part is downloading a current rom that i am on for safety sake and warranty on the list it does no show my rom for download . . . Here is what my phone says i'm on:
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S III General] Htc_One_X:
Thanks fella, Much appreciated. :cowboy::good:
[Galaxy S III General] aspot72:
I think your ROM is for Orange... But just guessing...

I had VF ROM on mine and no branding either, except few VF apps (bloat). The thing is, that "inside" all branded ROMs is "bug" which will prevent updates unless approved by operator. The best is to flash "generic" ROM for your country with correct CSC (however, that's not important). But in your case it doesn't matter, as you're after custom ROM ...

I have attached pic, so have a look, you might find your version...
[Galaxy S III General] Htc_One_X:
Thank you my F/W is indeed a T-Mobile Fw, No personalisation though lol, What would be the best unbranded software to jump on? Ill see f i can flash a stock rom before a modded custom rom.
[Galaxy S III General] aspot72:
I would suggest I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_BTU. Use Odin. Do full wipe before flashing (volume up+home+power) . After flashing do the same and you'll be OK.

Btw why did you got rid of HOX??? I wanted that phone, but SIII has removable battery+memocard slot so picked SIII...
[Galaxy S III General] Htc_One_X:
Ok i shall download it now and flash, I know how to use odin just restored stock rom 2 mins ago.

I still have the hox just wanted removable battery, sd card not to mention the sgs3 is much much more reformed and user friendly not to mention i went through 3 f them before i got my S3. If ya want the hox let me know selling it dirt cheap. :good: Only after £145
[Galaxy S III General] ak2012r:
Thanks. Can you tell me how to root it after upgrading to this rom.
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
LG8 running absolutely spot on for me. Don't know what u did. I'll take a guess though... Did u flash a custom kernel to say u had wifi problems and lockscreen freezing?

I had this problem too (along with many others after flashing a custom kernel) but u need to stay on stock kernel or the latest Siyah kernel for those issues to be solved. Any other kernels WILL NOT do until they are built with update 4 sources.

Flash cf root 6.4 ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Htc_One_X:
I too am running the lg8 Rom and have no issues, however I am using stock kernel.

[Galaxy S III General] bernard134:
Its very common, same changelist but different build number to differentiate Europe firmware and South East Asia firmware.

Same changelist, but different Modem, CSC and include Chinese.

During Galaxy S2 firmware, Samsung will state "DX", "XX" and "XW", for S3 the common one are "XX" and "BU" as of now.

As LG9 has the Same CL as LG8 so I'm not going to update the thread.

Sorry for this question but I just bought my s3 a few minutes ago and I'm super excited!! I come from a galaxy s2 and need to know if I flash this latest UK firmware via Odin over my stock galaxy s3,then how can I root it? Is the chainfire cf root method the easier one? After flashing latest UK BLG8 I just install cf root v6.4 vía Odin on the pda section and that's it??

Thanks a lot for the help and please don't kill for asking this!:rolleyes:

[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Yes that's correct. That's the easiest method.

Just remember, on the S3 its different to the S2. The recovery partition and kernel are separate so when u flash cf root, u still have stock kernel rooted but with added CWM.
[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
Ohhh ok, didn't know that... thanks a lot for your explanation! And for answering me!! The thing is that I want to keep everything stock but rooted to avoid any kind of problems... so what I need to do first is flash the latest Sammy version available (BLG8 untill today) vía Odin (does the old version of Odin still works on the s3? my version is 1. something.. I can't remember right now) and after the phone boots, just enter download mode again and flash via Odin on the pda tab the cf root .tar file from chainfire's post and that it? I will keep everything stock but rooted??

Thanks a lot for the help!! :D

maybe you should :)

even thoughh is the same kernel
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
As Faryabb just said... U are correct in Ur thinking.

Stock LG8 + cf root = stock rom rooted.

Just note your rom in case of needing to revert.

There is a newer version of odin For S3 but I know personally the older S2 version works for me. :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
Awesome! Thanks for the help!! Just one more little thing... :rolleyes: is it necessary to enable usb debugging before entering in download mode to flash with Odin? Sorry but I just don't remember how I used to do it on the s2 cause I always used mobile Odin pro...

Btw... Mobile odin works on the S3 as well. That is what I use ;)
[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
Really?? I don't remember ever enabling usb debug on the s2 before flashing... :confused:

So what do you suggest for me? Maybe I should leave it with the stock firmware it came with (really old 4.0.4 argentinian firmware) and just root it with cf root and pc Odin and then after rooting it install mobile Odin pro and flash it with the latest UK firmware enabling also everoot, inject super su, etc. But, once again and sorry for being so stupid... Should I really enable usb debugging in order to only install cf root with Odin pc?? Is it really so important?

Thanks again for your patience! :rolleyes:

Flash the stock XXBLG8 ROM. Then factory reset then finally change your CSC to BTU by entering *#272*IMEI#

Its the very latest firmware and you will be able to receive OTA updates.
