Sorry for posting question even after reading the thread.

I tried to search but there does not seem to be much say about them or responses to these questions.

I got the phone yesterday. I decided that I need to root it for my use but my phone has XXALF5 firmware. All I am looking for is safe root what probably needs insecure kernel. Do I just need to wait for now?

Thanks for assistance!

Quick question. Is it possible to use any Stock Rom if you don't remember what the "original rom" that came with your phone? Mine starts with Baseband: I9300DXLE8 and Build number: I9300XXALEF... am confused on what to d/l . Is it XXLE8? or XXALEF? Thanks!

edit: or to be safe, can i just backup this rom before i flash any custom roms?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
yes, you should back up the ROM before you do any changes whatsover.

You always use the building number for identification purposes as baseband (modem) can be different from the build.

In your case the correct information is I9300XXALEF.

Download jig

Hi everyone and specially to intratech.

I've move from SGS2 to SGS3 and I'm so happy. It's a wonderful machine. I'm using intratech's roms as I used with my SGS2.

My question is: my sgs2 download jig is working to put sgs3 in download mode but it's not reseting the binary download counter as it used in my sgs2. Maybe it's a problem from a locked bootloader or something similar?? Afyter rooting with CF-Root I don't have the yellow ttriangle but in download mode the sgs3 it's saying i'm in a custom rom :confused:

How can i reset the counter? :fingers-crossed:

Thanks in advanced and happy to be here with you with our sgs3 :laugh:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androg421:
Regional Firmware

The SGSIII is my first experience with an unbranded "international" phone, so the learning has begun.

My unit presents the following:

I9300XXALE9 Download (Thanks To SamMobile!)

Base Firmware: I9300XXALE9 (4.0.4)

Region Africa

Country: Algeria

Carrier: Unbranded

Build Date: 15 May 2012

Modem: XXLE8

CSC: OJVALE9

Change List: 554452

I popped in my AT&T sim card from another phone and all appears to be working fine (as far as I know).

Would it behoove me in any way to change the firmware in any way? An entire different regional package? Perhaps change the CSC to something a bit "closer to home"? Something newer?

Just learning my way around, so any thoughts would be welcome.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
As posted under CSC csc is a local network settings file that automatically enters the correct network settings .

So if it works changing CSC will gain nothing .

For root

Nandroid backup from SGS2 guide .

Clockworkmod is a 'custom recovery' made by xda member koush. Every phone had a recovery partition designed so that if the user messes up a ROM installation, they can recover their phone. CWM is a modified recovery installed into the recovery partition that allows advanced control over ROM recovery, installation and much more.

Features of CWM include:

- NANDroid Backup, This allows you to completely back up your existing ROM with all its files, data and apps

- Restore Backup, Restores a previous backup (obviously...)

- ROM installation, Allows you to install a ROM contained inside a flashable .zip file

- Wipe data/Factory reset, completely erases all of your data contacts, apps etc, leaving your phone 'as new'

Amongst others...

How to install CWM​

If you have already rooted your phone using the CF-root Kernel, then you already have CWM! If not, then just install the kernel linked to above in the 'how to root your phone' section

How to make a NANDroid backup using CWM

​

Backups are important because they allow you to restore your ROM incase flashing goes wrong, or you phone starts playing up and displaying wierd bugs.

To make a backup, you need to boot into CWM recovery (done through the 'cwm' app installed onto your phone when you flash the cf-root kernel). Then, you need to navigate down to 'backup/restore' using the volume keys, and select it using the home key. From here, just click 'backup' and you are all set! Leave your phone make the backup (its takes some time) and then just reboot when it tells you its finished. To restore your backup, do the same but instead of clicking backup, click 'restore' instead. Choose which backup you would like to restore and leave the phone to do its magic. Done.

You can flash the unbranded Rom without rooting. This will remove all the orange crap. If you want to sim unlock you will need to root. Triangle away will then allow you to reset your custom flash count. It is very easy. Whoever told you you couldn't flash an unbranded Rom while sim locked doesn't know what there talking about. If you just want stock Samsung firmware then just download stock unbranded Rom and flash via odin. This guide in this forum is excellent and I guarantee will work for you. I'm sorry I don't know if the orange Rom you requested is available might be worth checking sammobile. They seem to have all the roms for the s3 on there

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazbutler1:
glad to be of help. personally i would go for xxblfb battery life over xxale8 is far superior, rom is much smother and has various fixes. there is another newer firmware which is xxblg6 this removes local search function but apparantly is a little smother than the rest. don't worry about apn's the unbranded firmware contains the apn settings you require for your network, but by all means write them down first as you can input them manually if you so wish. firmware on the device will not affect any unlock code you get from orange.

Just a heads up once you flashed the unbranded firmware and it boots in for the first time you need to change the csc this is done by dialling on your phone *#272*yourimeinumber# this will then bring up a menu from which you select btu and select install. This will install the correct carriers settings for you i.e. apn settings
