Nope, you can change the CSC permanently too. My CSC used to be 'COA' from Cosmote in Romania. I did the above and changed it to 'BTU'. Now KIES and OTA updates work on my phone and KIES detects the phone as 'BTU' with no problems.
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
But as this is a developer forum no-one is going to be waiting for KIES updates, so just flash the latest ROM. Anyone would think this is the Samsung help forum! :highfive:
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Oh that's awesome, I did an emergency recovery on my phone recently and it downloaded the Optus rom (I had to put in my s/n and stuff into kies) - I was not impressed.
[Galaxy S III General] Geki03:
I don't know what's the big deal. Sony is not going to update until next year. So Samsung is not that late.
[Galaxy S III General] circuit89:

[Galaxy S III General] min2209:
Hey guys, I'm a total noob here :o

I got a brand new i9300 unbranded / unlocked. I am currently in the U.S. here. When setting up the phone, I ... picked UK, not sure why I did that.

Anyway, is it possible for me to install Jelly Bean on here through Kies? Kies says that I've already got the latest OS on here, which is not true, since it's ICS.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:
Be reasonable, guys! Those carrier branded updates are not for aliens. They are for people like us who bought S3. So what if they are getting JB before us? Would we feel the same as we are feeling now and swear at Samsung if we bought our phones through carriers? ;)
[Galaxy S III General] jinksd:
When Samsung releases a jelly bean update for your phone it will show up in Kies.

The folks on here are discussing roms that while official are not for the region that your phone is from thus it does not show up in Kies.

You will have to wait or go ahead and flash the latest official rom from a different region.
[Galaxy S III General] vincent26:
Hey guys, so im looking at updating my s3 to JB. But coming from the Nordic version of ICS can i just flash over the UK 3 or Wanam rom over it in CWM or do i need to restore it from scratch using the toolkit?
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Does anyone know what the deal is with the "NO-WIPE" build is? are they implying if I wipe my phone, it would be bad? I'm accustomed to wiping before flashing out of habit.
[Galaxy S III General] Xsannz:
No that's Vodafone stock Rom.

Telecom is a branded different Rom
[Galaxy S III General] kelvinyap9:
Thanks, I did.

Unfortunately, the only Vodafone branded one in that list is from Vodafone Italy (which doesn't contain my CSC and I assume uses a different modem entirely anyway).

Guess I'll wait for sammobile.com to upload my official firmware first, or should I just backup my current ROM into an ODIN flashable file (backup of modem, rom and CSC)?

But first need to find out how to do that >_>
[Galaxy S III General] cheetah2k:
I assume there shouldn't be any issues flashing the stock unbranded EU roms over the Vodafone Aus rom??
[Galaxy S III General] kelvinyap9:
Yeah, there will be no worries flashing any unbranded/custom ROM.

It's just that I need a specific I9300TDULE6 official firmware to flash over the custom ROM I'll be running in case I have to claim warranty etc.

Need something that contains official Vodafone Australia branded firmware, CSC, modem, stock official kernel as well as a way to remove CWM (probably goes away when I flash official firmware to overwrite kernel) and a way to reset flash counter >_>

Don't want them knowing I voided the warranty because I played around with ODIN :P
[Galaxy S III General] Xsannz:
You may be in a spot of trouble... no I9300t rooms are out for aus or .nz we are waiting for the carriers to release their branded updates and for Samsung to release the stock branded roms as well.

As I am looking for i9300T telecom stock branded to play with.
[Galaxy S III General] Ping-Pong:
so what is the region code for this carrier
[Galaxy S III General] burnout11:
After Flashing this i got a strange bug in the keyboard. it displays the german keyboard but it uses the english on. ( Z and Y are inverted ). Also the dictionary does not work.

I removed the Samsung-Keyboard data, but this does not help.

previously i was at a vodafone de stock image.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III General] NakkM:

[Galaxy S III General] hamma:
That means that simply flashing the rom, won´t wipe.

You by yourself can wipe whatever you want before flashing.
[Galaxy S III General] enigma1981:
Not just that, but it means that it will function perfectly well without having to factory reset your phone (so you won't lose data/apps etc for those unclear...)
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
but if you do get problems then you do have to do a full wipe before making a bug report.
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Love it, I wipe my phone thoroughly, even delete all the data on the phone partition, re-wipe the phone again and run it fresh. Start installing all my apps from google.

Phone reboots, quality stuff.
[Galaxy S III General] nerohero:
Solved

It looks like exDialer or BetaMax Callback were creating a problem. But even after uninstalling them the problem would persist. So I did a factory reset and never installed the two apps and all seems to be working fine.
[Galaxy S III General] ajwconsult:
I looks like I have replicated the touches crash on the following updates

Polish/Sweden now the new UK and v29 Omega ROM.

Each I did a none wipe and full wipe including cache.

1. Put play store in a folder

2. Install an app

3. Open app immediately in play store

4. Exit app

5. Exit play store

6. Touchwiz crash.....

Anyone else replicated this and have a solution apart from the obvious not running all within play store. AJW

Hi, I am on the swedish rom but sky go doesnt work. How do I get back to ICS. I am in the UK on an unbranded handset. Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] circuit89:
Just use ODIN to go back to 4.0.4, just the way you flashed 4.1.1. No difference.
[Galaxy S III General] MonsterMMORPG:
thanks

does this require root ?
[Galaxy S III General] cyb3r5c4r:
Try the uk rom? Sky go is supposed to only work in the uk and ireland (because of copyright) so it might not be happy to run properly if it thinks your in "sweden" (on a swedish rom)

Although sky is a bit slow staying up to date with android so it could be a general 4.1.1 issue. Im going to install it now and see myself :)
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Sweeden? :p
[Galaxy S III General] cyb3r5c4r:
Im dyslexic so your lucky i can spell anything at all.

[Galaxy S III General] dazza7111:
Sick of waiting UK 3 JB here I come!
[Galaxy S III General] wicked1683:
Hi guys, I have a quick question (Sorry I'm new to flashing using ODIN).

1. Is the Latest UK (H3G) 4.1.1 firmware is compatible with the unbranded S3?

2. Flashing using odin and using official firmware doesn't need to wipe or factory reset my phone? (I'm worried because I dont want to factory reset because I have lots of important files/data in my S3. But I back up using kies, didn't try yet if kies backup is effective/working properly).

3. I don't want to root, so flashing this firmware is like updating using OTA?(All stock?)

4. From what I noticed, branded Phones have their own "LOGO" and special applications for that brand. So if I flashed this to my unbranded S3 would I get those applications? I dont want those applications, I want my setting or installed application to be as is (Like updating via OTA)

5. and Last question, Correct me if I'm wrong but if I flash using this firmware (UK 4.1.1 H3G), my modem would also be updated? Is the modem compatible or will not cause any issue if you live in different country?

Thanks in advance guys, I searched the forum regarding this topic but I want to make sure before I do this. I'm really tired of waitng for the official release of jellybean in our country :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] MonsterMMORPG:
all of my questions

waiting answers thanks :D
[Galaxy S III General] Blenky:
1) I have a unbranded UK S3 and flashed the 3.uk ROM with no issues

2) No need to factory reset. I've flashed about 4 times now, starting with the leaked JB ROMS and now this official - no issues

3) Don't need to root. In fact flashing these ROMS will remove root anyway!

4) You get the 3 logo on boot and shut down and three of their apps. Remove the apps and the logo doesn't bother me as I never power down the phone

5) Can't answer this as I'm UK and only flashed UK ROMS

I can say this firmware so far is great. Don't let the 3,uk stuff bother you as who knows how long it will be before unbranded ROM is out!

Dear S3 users,

I have a question....

atm i run the swedish jellybean stock, and i would upgrade to the latest united kingdom stock, but i cant figure out what the difference is??

the build date is about 10 days newer.....

is there any changelog available or are there users who have seen some improvement??

for example

- grey notification bar

- black bar when viewing pictures in gallery?

- fc of touchwiz sometimes?

- quicker??

and would it be a problem to upate to a carrier build?
[Galaxy S III General] MonsterMMORPG:

Hey how do you mean it wipes everything.. the rom you mean not my settings and apps and stuff?

But don't you know if there are other improvements"? and aint it a problem that its a carrier build and not a unbranded version
[Galaxy S III General] cheetah05:
Is the an MD5/SHA1 checksum for this?
[Galaxy S III General] musicgod:
everything is the best bet. or u may have a crash of the android.core. file untill u wipe your data. hence why u should back it all up.

wipe it all an u wont have an issue ever. to be safe.. can always got apps back.

Did you wiped every chache? Maybe you could try the superwipe script (ARHD Rom thread) and reflash the rom via recovery.

[Galaxy S III General] ch0ka:
Nope, you got that wrong ;)

In low light areas there is no distracting light, so low gamma values do the trick.

In bright areas (e.g. sunlight) you need much more brightness to make the screen stick out and remain visible.

Hope you got me?
