Version: 4.2.2

Date: June, 2013

REQUIREMENTS

-Enable USB Debugging by going to your phone’s Settings, then tapping on Applications, opting for Development and then turning on the option which reads USB Debugging

-Once you are done with that, you will need to make a backup that must contain the very important content on your smartphone

-Install USB drivers (on your laptop) for the kind of smartphone you use (install SAMSUNG KIES)

-Then be sure you charge the device’s battery to its fullest so that it will not make the handset stop working.

FLASH 4.2.2 XXUFME7 BY ODIN

1-The first of them has this instruction at the ready: download the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 XXUFME7 firmware archive and Odin tool on your notebook. Then wait for them to get installed there and switch the Galaxy S3 I9300 off.

2-Now boot the handset into the usual Download Mode by using the following keys: Volume Down and Home, which you must press and hold together; as you do that, you should power the smartphone on and you’ll land in the Download Mode.

3-After it’s in it, you will be asked to plug the handset to your notebook; you need to use the phone’s USB cord for this task, then wait a bit till 6-you find out whether or not the connection between the two has been established.

4-If you see a message reading “Added!!” or an ID:COM port number coloring in yellow, then yes, the connection has been established; if you don’t see those, you can either use a different USB port or resort to flashing the USB Drivers again. In Odin, you need to tap PDA; this is the way to use so that you can opt for the update firmware.

5-Now tap START and this firmware is going to be flashed on your handset. Look for this after the installation is done: “Language preference” on the display; when you see that, you will have to unplug the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 from the PC.

6-The Jelly Bean 4.2.2 XXUFME7 firmware is right in this instance on the device’s “About phone”. Now run along and check it out!

NOTE: After you’ve spotted it, the guide will be over for you. But it will continue for owners who experience issues with the phone; like getting it stuck in either the Welcome screen or in a boot loop.

To take care of that, you need to take the battery out first, then put it back in. After that you will have to repeat the entire tutorial from start to finish.

ROOT OF 4.2.2 XXUFME7

1-Download and extract CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip. You will obtain a CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar.md5 file in the unzipped folder.

2-Extract Odin zip file and you will get Odin3 v3.07.exe.

3-Switch your phone off. And make sure that you wait 5-6 seconds to confirm complete the power down cycle.

4-You will then put your Galaxy S3 I9300 phone in Download Mode by pressing and holding down the Volume Down button, alongside Home and the Power button. A screen will then come up; warning you about entering into Download Mode, press the Volume Down key to continue to enter Download Mode. (vol- + home + power).

5-Run Odin3 v3.07.exe with Administrator rights.

6-Now that you are all prepared to root your phone, connect your Galaxy S3 I9300 with your PC. You will then see a notification appear in Odin in the bottom left saying “Added!!”. If for some reason, you do not see the said notification, try another USB port. If that too doesn’t work, then reinstall the USB driver. Once you successfully see the “Added!!” notification in Odin, you are good to go. Also, check for COM port being depicted by a number in ‘yellow’ to make sure that you have successfully added your device.

7-Select these files in Odin at their respective buttons:

------->Click the PDA Button, and select the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar file.

------->In Odin window, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected.

------->Double check everything. Hit the START button to begin the flashing process.

------->Once the flashing process is completed, the phone will automatically reboot and you will see a ‘Green’ PASS notification in the top-left- most box. You can unplug the device from the computer now.
