[Q] Same PDA Different CSC - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There are 2 Russian JB 4.1.2 Stokc Rom available.
However there are two Roms available. The PDA of both Roms is XXELL4.
Whereas CSCs are different, one of which is OXEELL1 and the other one is QXEELL1.
Will there be any problem if I install Q version instead of O version and vice versa?

No in terms of function, might disable official OTA from Samsung tho or Kies update until you get the right now.
You can easily check in Kies.

[Q] Which firmware to install?

Hi everyone, I am new here. I just returned i9100g for a i9100. Anyways as I look for the i9100 firmware at sammobile.com, there are tons of ICS available. Which one will I install?
Also I am in Bangladesh, however we get mixed region phones: Sometimes from Malaysia, Singapore, France, etc. How do I know which region I have, so it can guide to install the proper ICS.
I installed XXLPJ, everything works well, however I noticed that just like my initial i9100g, whenever I use the voice to setup alarm, it doesn't work. I fixed this problem when I installed the proper region firmware for my phone, which was French at that time. The problem is I don't know which region of the phone this actually is.
Any idea?
Thank you
I dont think different regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings too...
you can check the firmware information by dailing *#1234#
ROM selection
you can have a look for the language supported by that rom, you can also go for custom rom, language information was given there that it support these many language.
Also i am agree with "zaheedahmed" that "regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings" i guess this the bug with that version of ROM, so it better to upgrade your ROM.
Thanks for your responses. What do I need to look after after for the latest firmware, android version? Cause there are tons of 4.0.3

A Question

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my S2 and installed a custom ROM because i was sick of waiting for Samsung to release ICS in my region ( Also i love stock ICS ).
Recently they released ICS in my region so i went to sammobiles to download the firmware.
My Question is that do PDA and CSC change for each new version of android released or am i supposed to wait for the firmware with the same PDA and CSC as the version i was using.
Also I wanted to know if I could flash firmware of different region on the phone without it having any errors
Thank you.

u can flash any stock rom ...
The only small issue you might face if you flash stock firmware for a different region is you may not be able to get OTA updates for your region when they're released. But it's easy enough to flash them via Odin so this isn't a massive problem.

What if i flash a firmware for a region i will be going to.
Will I get OTA updates if i access the update list from that region ?

OTA or Odin

Hi, I picked up an sgs3 the other day. The firmware on it is XXLF2. I was just wondering what the experiences were with regards to OTA update? Is it recommended or would flashing the latest LG8 fw for UK via Odin be better?
Thanks for any advice.
One of the reasons why it might come in handy to restore a previous update could be due to the fact that the new update will not be optimized for our phone and waiting for the release of a more stable version, use Odin may serve us to go back. A very recent example is the first update to Android 4.0.3 on Galaxy S2 where there were several people who wanted to go back to Gingerbread ... Of course, another reason could be that we want to load a firmware later, but that in our country has not yet been made available ... see Notes Galaxy and the German ROM which runs the network.
But Odin is not only original Samsung firmware to load, but also allows you to load ROM cooked in order to have more personalized and optimized.
Odin's software runs on Windows PCs, and lets you do the above, but now we see how the program works.

Nice1 thank you devid801. I've used Odin to flash ROMs on my sgs1 but the OTA update on sgs3 has me interested Suppose I could always flash via Odin the latest FW if OTA FW isn't the latest.
Thanks again mate.
we say that the telephone operators are slow to release updates, even compared to the parent, so if you do not want to wait using odin! read a guide before, and you always make a nandroid backup before making any operation. ..

Odin is beeing used in official service and repair centers to flash samsung firmware
As always two paths for ease of use one via Samsung Kies or OTA .
OTA will probably fail on rooted phone .
Join XDA flash stock firmware as and when you want .
My view is if you want to stay with Samsung /official path then do so but its the attempts to mix and match that lead to trouble .

Thanks jje. I think i'll stay stock for now but see what update OTA offers me Saying that, XXLF2 fw does not seem bad so far.
Will look to find what the differences are between LF2 and LG8 fw.
Thanks for all the feedback.

I have recently flashed my Orange GS3 to XXLF2. I'm not getting any OTA updates post flashing and i know there is an update that gives you the option to auto aujust brightness on the drop down. Is this normal after flashing? Or has something gone a bit wrong?

You no longer have Orange firmware .
You no longer have phone codes that match any upgrade .
Their is no upgrade for your phone model
Plus all the other usual answers .
Choice flash roms from XDA or return to Orange for an update .

[Q] S3: XXBLG8; Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies

Anyone else facing the same problem on this version? Any solutions ? Just removed the orange imm76d.i9300bvblg2 rom and installed the unbranded latest uk XXBLG8 rom which is now giving this error on kies. Used to work fine on the orange rom. Mobile is unrooted and stock rom is flashed.
I think that the leaks can't be upgraded by kies. you should install the latest JB rom using odin
I know the leaks can't be upgraded. I meant the official updates.
sorry, i thought it was LI8 (the last leak before poland official JB)
to upgrade, you would need to have the poland CSC, it can be changed *#272*your_IMEI#
then you have to select the poland CSC:XEO
first BACKUP in the external SD because doing this you would lose everything in the internal SD (including tithanium backups)
sorry for my english
Please read my post. Im not looking to go to JB as there is no UK version and its not fully stable. I have the latest XXBLG8 uk version and was looking at the official updates for this version. Thanks
you can not get official update because your product code does not maches your rom.
You have to stick with ODIN or Use orignal orange rom.

It was due to the csc being KOR. Once i changed this to BTU the problem was resolved. Even though the rom was a BTU rom in the first place. Thanks for your help anyway.

All this info is found in the stickies you have chooses to ignore apart from this one "if i flash one of the custom roms from the Android developent thread ,are these based on official firmware" some are some are not. It should tell you in the roms OP if its based on stock, asop,cm etc.
Also questions go into the q&a area.
