thank you
and does the region code matter? i mean i am from slovakia, that means ORS for me but im fine with BTU (UK) if it is better.
does anybody knows how can i find out what is the last firmware?
I9300 = Model - yes
DX = Region code or Network Code - i gues this does not matter
LE = Release-Date of the Firmware
8 = Revision
- is it in hexadecimal order?

KF4 is after KE7 as in K is 2011 E is a month 7 is build
No change logs published by Samsung .
and how do i know what is the language of the ROM?
By reading the instructions on the first page of that link .
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

Region codes.
This helps me a lot.
I ran a google search but i didn't find which is better and what is the diffrent
ZS = Hong Kong
XW = ?
There is something i would prefer?
Can I install any ROM i want? if i have XW version this is possible to install ZS?
You can install any ROM's any time over any ROM. ZS is dedicated for Hong Kong, ZN is China, why should you install them if you are not located in those countries? XW is open region I guess, it's mainly for Europe and some other Asian countries like India and else.
Regards.
My Region is israel what rom should i pick?
XWKF3 is earlier from ZSKF4

I have found that XXKG6 ROM have the support i need but nothing mentions about JH. This ROM Runs android 2.3.4 i have 2.33 , If I will install the ROM
it will change to 2.3.4?
If you install a 2.3.4 ROM then you will definitely have 2.3.4.
Regards.
After i flashed the ROM, can I just install CSC with odin?
And if i will flash another kernel CSC will be removed right?
Kernel doesn't have anything to do with CSC. I don't the first part of your query though.
1. When flashing while i'm in install mode i always get an error:
cannot access system/csc/dbt/system
this is normal?
2. I have Frankenstein XXKG6 it seen to be great but there is an RTL fix to this build?
if not what is the recommended firmware that support RTL?
Hi All,

[Q] Dont know which firwware is this??

Can anybody help me to identify which firware is this and where is this from?? I brought it from Dubai but in order to root it, i cant find this firmware in any of the XDA forums.
AP: I9300XXALF5
CP: I9300XXLF5
CSC: I9300EURALE3
You don't need to know what firmware it is to root it. Just follow the stickies in the development section by flashing recovery with odin, then a rooted rom.
Also make sure your phone model number is GT-I9300. If it's not, you don't have the international version.
You can use Chainfire's CF-root, regardless of the firmware version,

Connect to the Keis, then check your firmware version,
see the code given after the CSC in the bracket is your region,
eg: PDA:LE9 / PHONE:LE8 / CSC:LE9 (XSG)
XSG is the code for UAE,
I think you have purchased the phone from an unautharized dealer, normally the phones (SGS3) shipped in the Middle East are with the above mentioned version as my phone has got.

if not there you can search sammobile,com
or download full TMUALE4 firmware and extract the CSC .
But why do you want a CSC when you already have it ???
Do you know what a CSC is for ???

use the ones posted here on the forums they will always be more up to date than an OTA but if I had to choose a CSC I would use EU anyway.
Does not work that way CSC does not define the update path .
General updates quicker than others i would choose Europe based firmware .
UK certainly has received a number of updates .
jje
uk is not europe? which firmware should i use for general Europe based firmware?

[Q] Need a help with ROM thing

Hello, I've a question.
I'm on ROM I9300XXEMF6, but before I was on I9300XXELLA I'm living in Egypt, I don't know which ROM I should install, I provided Kies my S/N for an Emergency recovery, it removed XXELLA and downloaded the MF6 ROM (The original ROM which worked on my device properly since I bought it was XXELLA). My question is: Do I have to download the ROM from the manufacturing country or my regional area? If regional area please send me an EGY ROM to work on Vodafone as I know XXELLA is an old one and 3G/Edge doesn't work anyways. Thanks.
Abdnormality;4584533 My question is: Do I have to download the ROM from the manufacturing country or my regional area? I
ANY but rom for your location and network is best .
f regional area please send me an EGY ROM
