How to Update Galaxy S3 to Official XXDLIB Android 4.1 Firmware

[Important] If you flash this firmware over a custom ROM or a Galaxy S3 from another country than Poland, you might need to wipe the data on the phone to make the firmware boot up properly <<< (i did not wipe my data and it flashed perfectly

To be sure you do not lose any data, backup your Apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. This Android backup guide would help you. The SD card contents are always safe, so there is no need to back up those. Only backup apps and personal data.

NOTE: Don’t forget to at least note down your network’s APN settings, which are required to make mobile data work. Go into Settings » More » Mobile Networks, click on the APN that is in use, then note down the setting for each field. While APN settings should be automatically restored from network, you can enter them manually if needed to make mobile data work. You can also find your APN details → here.

Download and install the software Kies on your computer, which will install the necessary drivers for the phone.

Download Kies

You can also download the drivers directly — download from here: 32 bit (x86) Windows | 64-bit (x64) Windows

Download the firmware.

Download XXDLIB | Alternate Link | Filename: GT-I9300_XEO_1_20120922093900_w8pdod73hi.zip

Extract the GT-I9300_XEO_1_20120922093900_w8pdod73hi.zip file on the computer to obtain a file named I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_HOME.tar.md5 (ignore the file named SS_DL.dll).

Download the Odin PC software. If you are new to this, Odin is what is used to flash stuff – firmware, kernels, etc. – on Samsung phones. We’ll use Odin to flash the firmware file obtained in step 4.

Download Odin3 v3.04 | Filename: Odin3_v3.04.zip

Extract the contents of the Odin3_v3.04.zip file to a folder on your computer.

Now, turn off your Galaxy S3 and wait for it to shut down completely.

Then, put the phone into download mode. To do so, press and hold these keys together: Volume Down + Home + Power till the screen turns on. Then press Volume Up to enter download mode.

Open Odin by double-clicking on the Odin3 v3.04.exe file obtained in step 6 after extracting Odin3_v3.04.zip.

Important! Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added !!” under Odin’s message box in the bottom left.

If you don’t get this message, make sure you installed drivers correctly (using Kies or directly) as given in step 2. If it still doesn’t work, try changing to another USB port on the computer and also use the USB ports on the back if you have a desktop PC.

Click on the PDA button in Odin, then browse to and select the I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_HOME.tar.md5 file obtained in step 4 above.

Important! Do not make any other changes in Odin !!!. Leave all other options as they are. Make sure Re-Partition check box is not selected.

Now, click the Start button to start flashing the firmware on your phone. When the flashing is complete and is successful, you’ll get a PASS message (with green background) in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin, and the phone will automatically reboot. When you see the Samsung logo, you can safely unplug the cable.

IF you have any questions or you get stuck let me know :D
