Anyone Flashed Sweeden or Singapore Non carrier firmware onto their i9305? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9305&pcode=0&os=1&type=1
Seems to be a few new firmwares up, Singapore and Sweeden dont appear to be carrier dependant.
Id love to get rid of the telstra firmware so that updates are direct from samsung instead of telstra.
I know a search could find it but seeing ive made the thread ill ask, is there a good set of instructions for first time locked device users (nexus was easy to flash) on how to flash another countrys firmware on a locked down galaxy or do you just use odin for stock firmwares?

I have this on my telstra phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935570
Latest release with no carrier software at all.
Doubt you can use samwungs servers to update though. I have a feeli g it doesnt work once you have a non original rom install. Could be wrong.

its not completly stock firmware so i doubt the sammy servers will update it, that being said a untouched version of hte international firmware like sweeden may not suffer the same fate.

I updated my Singapore (Singtel) set to the non-carrier latest Singapore firmware:
I9305XXALI9_I9305OLBALI8_MM1.zip
Works great for me without the bloat

I thought I9305XXALI9_I9305OLBALI8_MM1.zip is M1 bundle firmware?

Yup.. that's what I thought. But Samfirmware did not list it as M1 and I don't see any M1 apps either..

I flashed it using Odin 3.04.
After which bro prodigiez came out with his slim version and I went for that :good:

No it is not my friend... is unbranded.. Sammobile only have the Singte(SIN) or unbranded(MM1)..
Mayb urs is a M1 unit so therefore when u flash MM1.zip,it doesnt wipe ur datas therefore ur M1 apps are still in there?

I just flashed It, after flashing it doesn't automatically do a factory reset so I did that manually, I've noted that the optus branding is removed from boot animation, and the homescreen quick bar icons are now customizable.
no FM radio module though...

well... either I didn't notice it or after reboots and or rooting I saw some M1 apps showing up, have done this reset to XSP CSC thing now to see how that goes, it did wipe data btw.
EDIT: ok it seems that the M1 apps re appeared after the post-wipe reboot, i'm reflashing and seeing if they had appeared before I rooted.

How to flash OTA flash files downloaded from samfirmware?

Hi all
How should I flash the OTA flash files downloaded from Samfirmware?? Should I use ADB?? If yes, can anyone tell me the commands??
I normally flash phones with SPT/RIFF box, so I am a bit rusty in ADB
Kind regards
I'd say use Odin. But just to be sure, Check the stickies in the general forum. Use the search if not sure.

Hi!
Just use odin to flash the firmware.. i'm pretty sure most of the fw would just be on PDA in odin.

If you are talking about OTA and not the full firmware..it has to be flashed in stock recovery...first make sure you have the correct firmware version on your phone..the firmware version required will be given alongside the OTA on samfirmware..now move the OTA to your sdcard..reboot into stock recovery..use vol up+power+home buttons..then choose install update from there..
I need to do this. I'll do a Titanium Backup before, but should I expect all my content, apps, preferences and all that to be intact after the procedure (presuming everything goes the way it should)?
Edit: Also, why can't I see an option for United States in the drop-down menu when narrowing down my device? Should I use some other country?

And do you know what this ota files are used for? I've an S5830 from Vodafone(Spain) and I want to get it back to the original firm (you know, operator apps and some more innecesary ****), but I'm unable to find one on the internet.
Looking at www.samfirmware.com, the only thing I've seen about my device and Vodafone is the OTA file i'm talking about, but I'm not pretty sure if flashing it will let my phone in factory defaults.
I need to flash a Vodafone rom because I wanna send it to the technical support.

Find a Vodafone Spain Rom, it should be over 200mb, then download Odin for your galaxy ace, it should be in the ace forum. Then flash it. Check the link below.

Dude, that's the problem: I can't find a Vodafone Spain Rom. I've seen it from several countries, but not from spain.
Also in SF are others operators roms for s5830, but not from vodafone.

How u installed the update?
Throught Odin, right... So u used a "orange"based firmware...
So just search for a "normal" one (f.ex. here) and flash it in same way...
That should fix ur problem

Choose which version u want...
I would recommend to use the latest one of 4.0.4 u can find.
The 4.1 is already Jelly Bean but not as stable as the other ones....
I saw it's now with actual firmwares....
So load the firmwares from sammobile
(Search =i9100 then u got a list, sort by date)
CHEERS
well, thank you so much!! really appreciate it ... will do it and tell you if it works or not
same thing!!! locked and request a code could someone please help?

this one :
I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA_XEU
here's the info from the post :
I9100XWLPT Download (Thanks To SamMobile!)
Base Firmware: I9100XWLPT (4.0.4)
Region: Europe
Country United Kingdom / Ireland
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 27 July 2012
Modem: XXLQ6
CSC: XEULPA
Change List: 941023
Separate Kernel: Download (.TAR)
Separate Modem: Download (.TAR)
and the phone has the orange logo on back...after installing this rom i think the phone is locked!! and even if i use galaxy s unlock it doesn't work
but why the phone was working on the 2.x firmware? was it unlocked with galaxy s unlock? does galaxy s unlock work only on old Firmwares?
and now what's the solution? is there a custom rom to install? something to do after installing the rom? or do i have to reinstall 2.x and unlock it with galaxy s unlock? will this work?
First get a micro sd card. Plug it into your computer and download a stable rom into the micro sd. Make sure you leave it as a zip file. Go to your phone's recovery and select the new rom.
Best of luck,

See if Spockys Galaxsim unlock works.I cant be arsed checking if it wirks on gb or ics or what,but you can.
Its only O2 phones or unbranded ones that are unlocked by default.

This has become a huge problem for me too.
I've used the i9100 for a year. At the beginning unlocked it, and tried hundreds of ROMS (CM,MIUI...), and never had a problem with Network Lock.
Before selling it(ebay), I updated it to 4.0.4(unbranded) and send it. BAM! The buyer told me it had a Simlock... Uh :silly:??? I told him not to worry, and bought an IMEI Unlock code for him. He said didn't work, I couldn't believe it, but it is so.
Now I have again my SGS2 here, with the symptoms:
- Compilation LPW
- Network Locked
- Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz does not work.
- Chainfire's method finds the same Unlock Code that I bought for 9€. But they don't work!:crying:
I will flash a 4.0.3 ROM and see what I can do.
Let u know.
Cheers.

no update, no sim
Hi Guys
My friend is having the same problem however he doesn't have a SIMcard just yet. turned on his device and connected to wireless, checked for updates and it reports with no updates available for his device...bought the device in Australia. he doesnt don't get a SIMcard for another 2 weeks. Will he get updates once he insert his SIMcard or will he have to update via odin?
i was under the impression that Samsung will update their devices and then push it to our service providers to then push the update out to the user?
is this even correct?
Thanks
U can get the update even without sim card. Just download Samsung Kies on your laptop and connect your phone and upgrade the firmware using Kies.
This will do the update to jellybean

lol :silly: im not sure you know whats going on....
I have a NEW Samsung Galaxy S3 bought from Kogan Australia...
Out of the box it came with Android 4.0.4
I know jellybean (4.1.1) is available for the S3
FIRST i checked the phone for updates...Said my phone was all up to date.
Then plugged in my phone using Kies....Kies said the same thing.
Then went and had a look at the model number (BTW Kies didn't ask me for model number it figures it out on its own)
Turns out i got a GT-I9300A
Then searched the net for a Samsung galaxy GT-I9300A...Nothing came up.
Then decided to comment on XDA because i thought someone might know whats going on.
Found out i was wrong!

I had the same problem as you when I bought my s3 two weeks ago. I am from the philippines and the s3 I bought had a different region (kenya). Kenya is still pending on jellybean update. I could not update via OTA. It always says that it is up to date. Tried kies, same thing. I decided to flash via Odin the Samsung official firmware 4.1.1 from sammobile, choosing my country among the list. After flashing I did a factory reset which then registered my s3 to my country. All is well now as I am registered to my local network and can receive OTAs. And warranty is not voided.
Note : be sure your s3 is GT-I9300 unlock. HTH.

Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was my s3 was factory sim unlock (open line). I did not mean bootloader unlocked. If you have used different Sims then your good to go. Don't unlock the bootloader if you're going to flash official firmware, to keep warranty.

There is no JB update for Iran yet. If you want to have your JB experience then you have to download other countries' firmware then flash it manually. I suggest the UK-BTU version or rather go for Poland-XEO which is 4.1.2

question.. for example if my handset region is Vietnam, can i use a firmware from Philippines?
If you have i9300 then you can use any firmware, irrespective of country. Baseband is a different matter, some won't work at all in some countries.

thank you for your response ... what firmware region can you suggest for me... since i do not know what is the original firmware of my device... im in the philippines.. i try some firmware but if i upgraded to a higher version thats the error i got... even if im using the philippine firmware.. the only works perfectly is the firmware from europe GT-I9300MBDDBT.
I can't, as I'm not from the Philippines, try the latest full stock rom for your region at sammobile. If your keys stop working after then you have a hardware fault.

Go to sammobile .com or samsung-updates .com and chose your region ,or read the thread that deals with Philippines in General section .

thank the honest answer... last one thing...it is a hardware failure even if firmware 4.0.4 is working great in my device? the only problem is that when i upgrade buttons are not working so i downgrade it again... but anyway thank you for your time...:good:
4.0.4 is a bad firmware that will cause SDS, it's more likely you made an error, didn't wipe properly or had a bad download.

Thanks Bro.
I will get it flashed to new firmware soon then.
installed INU version.
But Kies says it's INS version. Did I do something wrong?
At least It's working now.
