Trying to flash OTA jelly bean but getting errors - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a rooted (through Odin desktop version) Galaxy S3 I9300 with the following:
AP: I9300XXBLH1
CP: I9300CELH1
CSC: I9300PHNBLH1
I have been trying to flash the Jellybean OTA firmware that was posted yesterday on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867672
However when I try to flash with CWM it breaks off.
When I try this with Odin Mobile Pro I get:
"The kernel image on your device does not match the signature check in OTA ZIP. Disable the check (may prevent the device from booting)?"
I guess I have to update the kernel image somehow in order to install this OTA as was also mentioned in the thread with the Jellybean firmware:
http://samsung-updates.com/fw/Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I9300_BTU_1_20120806161432_al03it6wa2.zip
However it's impossible to download this file, have tried with 4 different browsers on 2 desktops and 2 browsers on my phone but no luck (I get dummy zip file, referred back to the same page or html file download).
Any tips on how to update the base/kernel rom so I can safely install the Jellybean OTA?
Thanks,
Vincent

The OTA will only correctly flash if you are on XXBLG8 rom with the LH1 modem

If you are already on a ICS rom then you can flash LG8 without wiping, if your on a JB rom then you will need to wipe or the ICS rom won't boot!

That link is only the kernel and modem not the full rom

Correct, but I tried to install the full rom directly and it failed (see my first post of the thread), so I figured I had to upgrade the kernel and modem first..
I have the feeling I am missing an obvious step here, :silly:

Problem Installing Wanamlite. Status 7.

I have a problem installing Wanamlite on my S2. I'm getting the Status 7, Installation Aborted error when flashing through CWM. I have searched for similar threads and all but cant find any. The closest solution was to delete a getprop line which I read from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28594852&postcount=9721
However I cant find the line in the updater-script file.
I’m coming from a Galaxy S2.
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband: XXKL1,
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKH1-….
Build: Gingerbread.DXKI2
I figured I must be doing something wrong, do I have to change my kernel or build or baseband before flashing this? I would appreciate any help!
Flash stock ICS, CF-Root and then Wanamlite.

Thanks for your quick response! Can I just confirm if i can do all this through CWM? I just download the needed zip files, boot into recovery, then install stock ics zip file, then cf root zip file, then wanamlite?
For the CF-root, which version should I install?
You flash CF-Root through Odin only. Stock firmware also through Odin.
Wanamlite through CWMR.
And version... exactly the same as build number of stock FW.

Okay thanks so much. I'm now following the guide here (http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-ph...-sandwich-on-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50006766/) to flash stock ICS 4.0.3, and will then flash the CF-root.
Im just curious as to what CF-Root does. Since my phone is already rooted.
You need CF-Root because after flashing ICS you will lose root.
CF-Root installs su, busybox and CWMR.

Thanks for your help. I just re-installed ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ and rooted by installing CF-ROOT (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar). However when I try and install the wanamlite, i still get Status 7, installation aborted. Any ideas why this happens?
Maybe you need to disable signature checking. Eventually ask in Wanamlite thread.
Thanks for the help. I managed to fix this. I think there was a problem in the zip file. I downloaded the non blue theme instead and it worked!

Flash stock rom after resurrection remix 1.9.1

Hi guys,
My friend's got a problem. He installed resurrection remix v 1.9.1 by westcrip 4.0.4 on his s2.
The kernel is:
3.0.31-siyah-v.3.2.4+
[email protected] #32
SMP PREEMPT Thu May 17 17:46:03
EEST 2012
He didn't do a backup before installing it and now he wants the original rom back. Could anyone here tell me exactly what he has to do?
He doesn't know anything about flashing roms etc and he did it as in the tutorial to get resurrection remix, so we need an easy tutorial (I don't own a s2 so I can't help him much).
His S2 has no branding.
Thx and please help!

Only your friend can know what firmware was on his phone before flashing the custom ROM. I suggest to use CheckFus to get the latest official firmware for the phone and then flash it using ODIN.

Using CheckFus is self-explanatory and for using ODIN there are already many excellent and easy to read guides here.
So CheckFus will tell which firmware is right for his device? It will tell exactly which firmware?
And could you post a link to a thread, where is explained how to flash the firmware using odin. Cause I don't understand anything about basebandkernel, and we don't know which firmware was there as he bought the device and which kernel and which baseband and whatever. Is there any tutorial for noobs?
Could you excatly post which firmware we need from here to get phone back on stock ics? We want a german firmware if possible. (I know you could just say ask google, but at xda heres a great community and I don't understand anything of odin and want to know which files exactly I have to download for phone, pda and cdc. That would be so great!)
Please help us!
Thx in advance!
Michi
EDIT:: I found this here: http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneFirmware/Download/120
Can I download there and then I have to put them like this:
PDA: XWLPF
PHONE (Modem): XXLPX
CSC: OXILP6
?
And then get s2 to download mode?
And what about the kernel? There is this kernel on s2 right now:
3.0.31-siyah-v.3.2.4+

You will have to do quite a lot of reading. Start by reading the Stickies and then read this thread which explains how to use ODIN.
Remember: only fools rush in - take your time and read before flashing
Thanks a lot, but what about kernel now? We'll have to read the thread, but I just want to know if the firmware from android firmware was right and if I could flash the rom if I just put these 3 Phon,Pda and Csc in the fields and without repartition. So what about the kernel?
Sorry if I nerve you, but I'm a noob with s2/flashing etc and it's not my phone
Thx!

The kernel is part of the stock firmware.
So we just need to place these 3 files in the right order in odin (PDA: XWLPF, PHONE (Modem): XXLPX, CSC: OXILP6) and go in download mode on galaxy s2. Then we can flash the firmware which is stock? And then we can update via kies if possible and use kies and etc? there's nothing else to do? And after the we have warranty as if we have just bought it?
EDIT:: I downloaded it but in the 7z file there were only boot modem cache etc and these were iso files? What have I got to do? Where can I download just pda, phone and csc? I dont get that!
Pls help!

You can try www.sammobile.com for stock firmware too. You'll have to sign up, but it's worth it. You just search for the stock firmware for your device and flash through Odin. Do not use the repartition button or the pit file and you should be fine.

I doubt that, the 7z file contains one tar.md5 file. Do not untar it, no one said you should do so. For ODIN read and follow the instructions according to the link I posted in post #4. That thread tells you what to do with the firmware file.

extract the file u downloaded from samfirmware or checkfus
u will have two files in it (in Latest gb or ics)
insert it in pda and flash
and ur done
the kernel is included in the firmware ..
Thx guys now I hope this is my last question on this topic:
I read the guide and downloaded a firmware. Now I don't understand the thing with checkfus. Do I really need checkfus or can I just download this firmware for a s2, unbranded, bought on amazon and it's a german s2?
Can I only put this extracted .tar.md5 file in PDA Section in Odin, boot s2 into download mode and connect to pc. Then click start and everything should went fine?
I own a xperia mini pro and there I must flash kernel and then firmware, so at odin and s2 the kernel will be changed when I flash pda and is included in pda?
Sorry, I asked same before, but I don't really understood
Thx for your great answeres, xda is a super community!

CheckFus is used to download the latest firmware. As you have downloaded the firmware from somewhere else, you do not need CheckFus anymore.

Flash stock rom after resurrection remix
I just reflashed my samsung J-500H with the stock rom after gapps started crashing on resurrection remix. I had no problems going back to stock except the I had a boot loop for a few times my remedy was to do a data and factory reset on stock recovery. I will reflash RR after I find gapps that would work on my J5 Lollipop. Any suggestions?

[Q] Signature verification failed on official JB update?

Hey guys, newb here.
I'm running a rooted Galaxy S3 International version I9300 on ICS 4.0.4
I'm using the official stock ROM, and I've flashed no mods/scripts/themes.
So basically the only modification I did to my device was rooting it.
I also see that you'll be needing this: (*#1234# dial)
AP:I9300XXBLH1
CP: I9300XXLH1
CSC: I9300OXFBLH1
So I got the official JB software update for my phone this morning, downloaded it and tried to install. However, the device aborted the installation because it failed to verify the signature. I've re-downloaded the official update 3 times, and the same thing happened 3 times. What do I do?
As you may have noticed, I'm a complete noob at android terminology, so if theres any way you can make your answer simpler, please do

1st you must update your firmware: try OTA-update or, if it fails, download your newest firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin. Control, whether IMEI is correct and you can make calls.
2nd root with CF-autoroot. Install TWRP-recovery.
3rd install any custom ROM.

I am not sure if the rom you use is using the latest base.
If that is the case, the BTU/XEU has not updated yet... you can use XEF which is the French version. That has latest base and should flash.

Thank you will try
Also you don't reported which Odin version you was using. you need Odin 3.13.1 to flash Oreo firmware.
And you can't downgrade the bootloader. So you need to flash a stock Rom with same or newer bootloader like already installed.
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

I used the latest odin and now just trying to find the latest firmware , I'm downloading XEF the French firmware that the previous comment mentioned
I would use the stock firmware with the manufacturer CSC of the device.
And there is a log window in Odin that shows logs of the flash process. There showing often useful informations. So next time make a screenshot with this logs and post it here
