I thought Europe normally gets the updates first? Because mine came from France and my brother who is in Asia received the update last week.

So how do these things work, are they pretty much random in terms of which countries receive the update first?
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Basically the releases are dependent upon Samsung not any specific area first in the list .

Nordic probably have the most early releases on all SGS range .

You say Asia received update but what update ??? one to fix broken firmware one with a modem only ???

Kies and OTA updates your choice why not join XDA developers forum and flash latest Samsung releases .

I tried Kies last night but it said I have the latest update already (XXBLFB).
[Galaxy S III General] Sango2:
Anyone have a link to insecure kernel of this version?
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Can someone please tell me exactly which ROM to grab which is the LATEST version of official 4.0.4?

International release, unbranded for an unlocked phone.

I would also like updates to work on the phone. I believe most common the file is the British one isn't it?

I'm going to guess the one from August 22 is the most recent?

http://www.sammobile.com/2012/08/22/update-your-galaxy-s-iii-for-the-last-time-to-android-4-0-4/

Is there a version of that I can flash using ODIN? So I have a nice, clean, fresh phone as if it was brand new out of the box? I don't want Jelly Bean - too many problems with each version I try.
[Galaxy S III General] alchopop:
Like the title says
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
That's what's confusing me. The most recent, official file I can find is apparently.

I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_BTU

but the thread references I9300XXBLH1 right? Except if you actually look carefully at the front page, it clearly says "31/July/2012" ?? Makes no sense if it's the most recent.

Furthermore, even more confusion for me :/

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30621388&postcount=1 I9300XXBLH3
[Galaxy S III General] Siberian Tiger:
The link you provided to sammobile says it is a OTA update and it is only 27.4mb and fixes some bugs.

The LH1 is a full firmware ;)

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Thanks for helping me, I appreciate it.

I am still confused why the OP clearly says "Build Date: 31 July 2012" though - isn't that old or is that actually correct?

(I suspect this is me just confusing June with July actually and being an idiot - I guess that is only 25 days ago!)

I currently have this.

IMM76D.I9300XXBLG8

When I go to software update, it says nothing is available - anyone know why it would do that?
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
It says nothing as their is no update for the product codes etc you are supplying .

LG8 is a very recent firmware unlikely to be upgraded until JB is released but that up to your phone vendor .

[Galaxy S III General] ph10m:
Just did this today to fix my wifi reconnecting issues (happened after rooting), and it worked perfectly!

Thanks a bunch!
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
I'm confused, if I re-flashed away from my phone vendors stock image and I'm using LG8 now, doesn't the update tool check some kind of generic server that samsung runs instead?
[Galaxy S III General] alchopop:
I suggest you watch the video on the OP first post in this thread. Its an excellent tutorial and EXPLAINS everything in great detail about how to reflash, update and get back to stock. I've been a member on this website for many years and it's the best I've ever seen.

it takes 25 minutes to watch (shorter than most rubbish sitcoms) and more informative than spending 24hrs reading on the XDA forums

good luck
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Same server .

Two requirements for an update .

One an update to actually exist for your phone that is your phone as seen by the server .

Two the HDSWVER from your codes to actually match a firmware on the server and if you have flashed you may have altered these codes .

Official method or XDA stock rom Via Odin flash .

Dont expect to flash roms via Odin and get official updates unless the codes match .

I'm in honduras and want an unbranded stock rom. my carrier is (claro) this is my firmware info:

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Thanks for the response.

I flashed a ROM via ODIN but to my knowledge it was a stock ROM - surely that means it should be elligable to get upgrades?

CSC issue

Great instructions and thanks for the post. Follow all the steps as indicated in the video, but I don't get any option to verify or correct my CSC to NEE. Kies is still recognizing old CSC with the new (XXBLH1) build.

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Re-flashed with factory reset before and after. CSC is NEE and Kies recognizes this. Thanks a lot again.

Just quickly, this HDSWVER stuff - is any of this tied to my S/N? or just the current ROM installed?

Stock Official LG8BTU woes

Hi all. I was trying to be a hero by flashing the international official ROM for the UK (XXLG8) on my friend's phone she got from China (says China mobile at the back). With Odin everything goes well until modem.bin where it fails. I recovered using CMW recovery and tried flashing the modem only via Odin and it fails. I've tried flashing the modem with other tools including ROM Manager and it all fails. When I do a *#1234# I get the following:

AP: I9300XXBLG8

CP: Unknown

CSC: Unknown

Of course the phone can't connect to a carrier. It connects to Wifi alright. Settings/About Device gives me

Model Number GT-I900 -- Edit: it's GT-I9300

Android version 4.0.4

Baseband version Unknown

Kernel version 3.0.15-928452-user se.infra@SEP=107 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 26 12:06:08 KST 2012

Build Number IMM76D.I9300XXBLG8

A *#06# returns IMEI null/null

I'm at my wit's end. I'd like to flash the CSC separately as well as the modem and then try to repair the IMEI following the instructions elsewhere in the forum. Can some shed some light? I've searched but have not found anything that can help.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] Xsannz:
Did you try clear cache and wipe data nd re flash?
[Galaxy S III General] rizdroid:
Just a guess... have you tried to flash China Mobile's stock fw?

If not, you can download it directly from Sammy server through CheckFus using CHU as PCode and the following hidswver: I9300ZNBLH3/I9300CHUBLH3/I9300ZNLH3/I9300ZNBLH3

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III General] jerome.d:
I had the XXBLH1 OTA yesterday, and found out today that it removed the vibration from incoming calls when on "vibrate" mode. The box "sound and vibration" in menu->sound is greyed out as soon as I choose the "vibrate" mode on the phone...

They already did that with older SGS2 firmwares, that's annoying to find it back in newer SGS3 firmwares. The original firmware (LFB I think) with which my phone came did not have this behaviour and incoming calls also provoked vibrations in the vibrate mode.
[Galaxy S III General] -A-P-M-:
Sorry for OT, but I rather ask: Is it possible to get corrupted or deleted EFS folder (and erased IMEI) on non-rooted phone when flashing official firmware via Odin ? Thanx
[Galaxy S III General] Xdenwarrior:
So, from all the firmwares made for i9300, which one did u guys find the smoothest/fastest when scrolling through pages (overcrowded with widgets) in touchwiz launcher??
[Galaxy S III General] maxeli:
So, i've been through thw whole damn xda to find an answer... This thread including.

I have a 3 mobile branded sgs3.. So the updates are controlled by these a-holes... 1. I want stock fw for nordic market

2. Will this fw work just as well as the original one i've got from 3 mobile.. Thinkin of updates, imei matchin the fw and so on

3. Do i need to root the phone to be able to install new stock firmware?

I appreciate your answers.
[Galaxy S III General] olavopb:
Is this China Stock FW multilanguage? (pt and es)??

Tks!
[Galaxy S III General] jerome.d:
Well, it's even stranger/worse than I thought. Now, even in vibrate, the sound notification for incoming SMS is played! On the other hand, my phone now vibrates, in vibrate mode, when receiving calls. I downloaded "simple profile manager" and played with that, I don't know if it messed up my natural notifications but even removing it I get those strange behaviors (in particular, playing a sound for SMS in vibrate mode is an issue!).

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

Here is a summary of the various modes behaviour with XXBLH1 on my phone. All the modes are the natural stock modes, not those coming from Simple Sound Profile manager (I'd like to use the stock modes).

1) normal mode: vibration + sound for incoming SMS and calls.

2) vibrate mode: vibration for incoming calls, vibration + sound for incoming SMS (I don't want the sound for incoming SMS in this mode!)

3) silent mode: nothing for incoming calls, sound + vibration for incoming SMS (still don't want that).

In other words, the stock profile manager does not impact the SMS notifications.

Do you have the same behaviour?

Hi everyone!

i juste flashed LH1, but when i try to change csc, i have only a NEE csc available, i don't understand, anyone?

Bro, if u r from scandinavia THAT IS the csc u need... If u r from any other country, watch the video on 1st page... In the video he's xplaining how to get compitable csc... Otherwise browse through this thread, just few pages back.. Someone mentioned an app from google play u can download and change your csc via that app...
[Galaxy S III General] Tumeconnais:
I know, i have download this app. But no XEF or other csc are available, i can't change because only choice is NEE.
[Galaxy S III General] maxeli:
Than u might consider downloading a UK rom?
[Galaxy S III General] rizdroid:
Yes!

Not only by flashing firmware

... suddenly, you can lose your IMEI. It's a Sammy's bug, like "Battery Low. Cannot Program" on Moto devices... no matter whether they are Android or not!!! :(

1. You can download it directly from FUS - Samsung Firmware Update Server, using CheckFus

2. You won't be able to update via Kies or OTA, unless you 'fallback' to your original fw (or change your PCODE)

3. No, you don't have to be rooted to flash stock firmware

Haven't checked it. Usually, you have regional languages and English on Asian fw

If you want updates via Kies/OTA,

your PCODE has to match your HIDSWVER

(PDA/CSC/MODEM). In other words, even though you are on stock Nordic, your PCODE is from anywhere else, that's why Kies doesn't recognize your fw. You can change your PCODE, but I guess it's simpler to download official firmware thru CheckFus and flash it using Odin.

[Galaxy S III General] victorator:
1. Repartition is only to be used with 3 part firmwares in case of a total emergency. You should never use it for the I9300

2.Yes 3.07 supports the I9300. There are no changes since Odin 1.85 though.
