Have a look at the xda bookmarks link in my sig. In there you can find both official and official branded firmwares. Instructions on how to install are in the 1st post of those threads.
Dear Members'
Sorry for the question but what you mean by non ginger bread firmware on galaxy? The firmwares that i am flashing on it via odin are original stock firmwares downlaoded from samfirmware.... and the latest versions so they are gingerbread.As they are original stock they should be accepted by kies and must let kies to check for new firmwares and install if there is a new one.
Could you please enlight me.
The phone was original and boxed as i bought it , and as i sad it was able to update via kies until i flashed it with new ones from smafirmware.

Kies cannot update a phones firmware for a number of reasons in your case KH3 cannot be updated until ||Kies has a later firmware on its server .

Dear Jjegan;
Thank you very much for the answer , but its seems to be like my explanation was incomplete and not detailed.Kies not mentions that there no update for the current version , it just says sometimes this device can not be updated and sometimes just shows the pda\modem\ version and no more info.
Thanks for help
you would basically need to use a older firmware that completely wipes your phone and return to at least 2.3.3. which kies will recognize and use a official branded firmware.
Kies has not sent out an official upgrade to certain countires that will recognize 2.3.4. It is just starting its roll out, I believe by the end of the year kies will recognize 2.3.4.
Dear CosmicBlue
Thanks for contribution but my previous firmware was 2.3.3 which was also downloaded from samfirmware.com and flashed trough odin , and still was giving an error indicating this device cannot updated via kies , and sometimes was showing the version of the csc modem pda and nothing else , so as you explained normaly in 2.3.3 in must say already latest version ....
I need a version where kies finds the phone and says already latest version and update if finds new release , normally i like to flash via odin but after all flashing all data is wiped and tired to configure eveything again ,and dont want to use backup.
Kind Regards.
you would need to go back to an older version of the firmware say an xkf1 and let kies upgrade it to the latest version which i believe officially is xkg5.
Thank you very much CosmicBlue , could you please guide me from where i shall download the official rom samfirmware.com maybe?
Kind Regards.

Hi,
As far as updates from odin go if you update with a Intratech non-wipe higher version of stock ROM (say XXKH3) from a lower version stock ROM (say XXKF3/G5) the data remains intact. I'm running the non-wipe version but did it when I updated from KF3 to KG5 as i had the same misconception. Somewhere in the forum it is discussed if you revert back to an older version of a ROM then you need to factory reset / wipe the data down.
Cheers
Dear Digifort;
Thanks for the contribution , as you mentioned i was running a full Rom also that wipes all the data , i was not aware that there is a non-wipe version , so now i will download a stock Rom from samfirmware a old one , flash with Odin and connect to kies after will look if it will update to current version.
Kind Regards.

First you stop double posting.
Second, you just turn off the phone, hold the power button till the phone shuts down. After that, you hold the HOME + VOLUME UP + POWER button till the Samsung Logo pops up, then release the POWER button.
When you see the Samsung 3e Recovery screen (TEXT IS BLUE), just select WIPE DATA, RESET PHONE, whatever it is called. Then reboot. You are good to go.

i 'm having some problem while factory reseting or formatting user data.
can you please help me.
i think its a soft brick.
is there any chance of hardware problem?
i can flash any kernel or rom through recovery mode or downloading (odin) mode but nothing is helping me
HELP
Hi Everyone,
I was trying to root my phone using the insecure kernel and Odin but once this was flashed, my phone got stuck at the boot logo. I can get to Download mode to flash another kernel or stock ROM. I can also go into Recovery where I am getting a lot of errors such as E: can't mount /cache, can't mount /recovery log. Wiping the cache and factory reset don't seem to work as they produce more errors.
The problem is I did not note down my baseband and kernel version before rooting. So now , I don't really know which stock ROM to flash to get my phone working again. Does anyone of you know how I get know my baseband and kernel version to choose an appropriate Stock Kernel and ROM? And does anyone know what I might need to do to get the phone working again?
Thanks very much for any help, guys.
Does anyone of you know how I get know my baseband and kernel version to choose an appropriate Stock Kernel and ROM?
Your location and network is the deciding factor .
You require stock rom not plus a kernel.
Stock Roms .and csc

Hi jje,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm from the UK and the phone is locked to T-mobile..
I have tried flashing a stock rom for T-mobile in the UK (BOKE3:http://www.multiupload.com/GY05UJM6DQ
Firmware info: PDA:BOKE3|PHONE:BOKD1|CSC:TMUKE3) and my phone is still stuck on the boot logo and showing the mount errors in Recovery mode.
Also, I was not too sure whether to flash the stock kernel that comes with it and I did it. You're saying that I don't need to flash the stock kernel. So, now that I've already done this, will this affect my phone? Do I need to flash another stock kernel for it to work?
Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it very much.
Is it possible for us to repartition to 2 partitions only?
If it's any help I am suffering the same issue can't mount /cache when I flash any rom other than the current t-mobile (UK) 2.3.5 which I got from sammobile
Can't embed links so just download the last UK t-mobile image shown in their list
If anybody can point me towards a solution as I am more used with HTC phones as from previous experiance t-mobile will be really slow about releasing ICS (they where about 3 months behind the official HTC desire ROMs)

First of all , make sure you have the right Odin version here-> https://androidfirmwares.net/Tools/Download/8
Second I suggest you try flashing this -> CF-Root for SGS3 v6.4
if the CF-Root is sucessfully flashed then you're good to go. Just download any ROM you want, put it on a SD-card and insert the sd-card in the phone. Now restart the phone in recovery mode (Vol up+home+power) and flash the new ROM.s
If it doesn't help you need to give more informations like, What ROM? is it a Zip or TAR? Etc...
Goodmorning everybody,
I'm afraid i need some help with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/fix-s3-to-factory-unroot-stock-recovery-t2323847) guide i'm trying to follow.
Except nobody is answering on my reply so that's the reason why i'm opening a new thread. forgive me if this is not the right section.
I'm pretty noob in all this so i will try to explain my situation as good as possible so that you can help me in the best ways you can and want to do.
The beginning
about a half year ago i thaught it was cool to have a custom rom on my galaxy s3 GT-I9300.
I did this with the help of a friend.
I first adjusted the recovery to clockwork and installed cyanogenmod.
The exact details of my phone at this moment are:
modelnumber GT-I9300
Cyanogenmod-version
11-20140708-Snapshot-M8-I9300
Android version 4.4.4
Smalbandversion I9300XXUGNA8
Kernel version 3.0.64-CM-g5e96596
CPU ARMv7 processor rev 0 (v7I)
Build number CM_i9300-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84Pd9438c2c60 test-keys
I've got a new phone and want to give this phone to my sister or sell it.
I don't need it back to stock for warranty.
I just want to hand over a clean and simple phone.
The problems i'm running in to are...
I did download and install triangle and i tried to reset binary counter.
The counter stays at 1 and the kernel stays at custom. the last visable option says official after triangle.
I also did flash the original recovery with Odin, (jaj this worked) because i can start up in the original recovery mode and not in CWM.
Before i do a full wipe i want to know what the problem will be when i install stock firmware with a binary counter on 1.
And this leads me to my second more important problem.
I can't find which stock firmware i need.
When i try to dial the codes to look up which one you need. I get a error message that it isn't possible to view this information.
I personally think i need: Galaxy S 3 (International) GT-I9300 PRO I9300XXALF5 Android 4.0.4 07.06.2012 686526 Unlock
there are 2 mirrors on of which is not workiong and the other downloads at 50kb/s and stops at around 90 mb in of the 700 total file size.
Can anyone tell me which stock firmware i need and where to download it? i've searched google (ofcourse) but can't find any.
I live in belgium, this phone was bought in Belgium but i have a dutch simcard working in it from the provider youfone.
This is a sim-only provider and they use the network form a bigger company called KPN.
I really hope someone can help me with this because i'm too afraid to do something wrong and brick my phone.
Sorry for being a noob don't bash please!
Thanks in advance for all your replies!
Grtz
Just flash the latest stock firmware for your country using Odin then factory reset in recovery before booting. Download from sammobile.com
You are confusing yourself with all the other things you are trying.
So i have a problem with my s3 i bought a new motherboard for it couple of days ago and i install it and everything and i put on stock rom everything is working fine atm.
But when i try to install any custom rom i tried dokdo and miui and back to n00t and all of them i get an error that it cant find my sim but on stock 4.3 it works did anyone have a problem like this if anyone knows how to fix this pls help and yes i have imei and baseband.
Was the phone running the latest bootloader and modem before you flashed a custom rom?

I was running a stock rom on a stock kernel for the modem i dont know.
Sounds to me like the bootloader and modem are too old for the custom rom. Flash the latest stock rom from Sammobile.com to ensure the modem and bootloader are matched and up-to-date.
Are you sure it is an i9300 motherboard? Not a Korean or Japanese version?
You can confirm the model number by booting into Odin mode.
Yea the motherboard is GT-I9300 so its international version
I have downloaded from sammobile and tried custom rom stillno work but when i got the motherboarc it had android 4.1.3 or 4.1.2 i dk
You confirmed the model number in Odin mode? What error are you getting in the Odin log?
There is no error it says that its custom and nothing else
The Odin log comes from the app, not the Odin screen on the phone.
On the phone's Odin screen, it says gt-i9300?
On the phone it says that its gt-i9300 but when i connect my phone to odin it dosent say anything
