sammobile is NOT an official samsung website. Consider it more like a fan site. They collect and share official firmware that's it (it's actually quite a lot of work)
so if there is no update in kies then update in Romania and your provider is not ready. (and it wont be on sammobile until it is present in Kies)
there is one 4.3 for Vodafone Romania, if ur phone was bought to this provider then u should have it in kies. If you have another provider or unbranded phone then u have to wait.
last thing, question goes to Q&A forum!!!!

great thanks ,but i don't have any provider ,i bought it from flanco .

so u have to wait until samsung provide unbranded firmware in Romania...
i am also waiting (i live in Poland)
ps: to thank people there is a "thanks" button

I think you got a free UK phone. There's not an official update at this moment for free UK phones, just get the last version of Kies and wait until the update is released.

what is meant by free uk fone. and i m using kies version 2.3. in the option where my fone name is written in the bar of left panel of kies. all the options are black except firmware upgrade. it is greyed. what and why is this?
Kies updates official firmware ONLY .
Only when the provider of the phone updates .
Example
Provider xxxx Saudi used in yy Turkey network .
Update from the provider Saudi when they update only .
SEARCH for CHECKFUS and put your product code etc in the boxes as the codes you post show possible UK as provider of the phone .

You can flash a ics rom from odin
check the guide here to use odin and flash ics:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Download this latest ics:http://skywanker.net/download/downl...9100_SER_I9100XWLP7_I9100OXELP7_I9100XXLPS.7z
Update has not aired yet lad, best bet would would be to flash a custom ROM if you can't wait. But if you don't want to play around with custom ROM then wait.
..
same here try to use ODIN if you want to upgrade your SGS2 into ICS based..

Phone wont update through Kies

Hey guys samsung stated ages ago that all UK unlocked phones can receive the ICS 4.0.3 update through Kies, I seem to be the only one who still cannot update through kies message still says your device cannot update through kies, I have rung samsung support and gave them all my detials numbers firmware numbers eventually they told me that it was my computers fault and that my phone should update normally through kies even though i have told them i have tried on 3 different computers, so im now asking you guys as a last resort to help, before you guys ask i do have the latest version of kies my phone is NOT rooted has stock firmware never been flashed with a third party here is my phones details,
PDA: I9100XWKH1
CSC: I9100XEUKH1
Phone Baseband: I9100XXKG5
Firmware: 2.3.4
Kernel Version: [email protected] #2

Chris i think you missunderstood my problem, i do not want to install a custom rom or root my phone i was asking here why my phone cant update through kies when my Code XEU is listed as Official ICS Update,
Ignore his root your phone post Updates do not require root as it would void warranty .
Kies updates your firmware when the phone provider has updated it .
You can use CHECKFUS to check on the server and download directly .
Alternative is to flash stock Samsung roms from XDA posted in General and also in stock rom thread .
Stock Roms .and csc

Flashing stock or branded provider roms does not invalidate your warranty .

Try your service provider...
Hi,
I´m in Spain and using Orange. The last time I was able to upgrade my stock ROM, the change came from Orange because they customize it (basically to lock you into using their system). If you choose to stay with a stock ROM, then your service provider may have to supply it and they are a little bit slower than Samsung because they have to add their changes. They usually add quite a bit of "Bloatware" to justify their modifications.
So I rooted my phone and am now using custom ROMs - Resurrection Remix 1.1 and am really glad to be rid of the Orange system. I also unlocked my phone so that I could use SIMs from other countries. Hopefully this will prove helpful....
Hi, quijote1, my phone is unlocked and unbranded so i am not tied with any network in the uk or have any bloatware as far as i know it is a standard rom,
Hey ZacQ8, As i previously stated in my OP my CSC is XEU, witch has been rolled out by samsung through kies that's why i have made this post in the first place.
could my problem be my firmware version? and is flashing with odin my only way now of getting ICS for my phone?
hey guys any idea';s?
No one has an awnser?...

You are making an assumption that ICS is available for your actual phone . That may be wrong .
You can use CHECKFUS to actually see if the ICS for your phone is on the Kies server .
Alternatives take the phone to the vendor/Samsung service for an update .
Join XDA Developers forum and flash stock Samsung roms on the day they are released .
You have no other routes except to ask Samsung /your phones vendor why you have no update .

Hi there i got my fone 5 days ago and as soon as i got it i checked to see if there was any software updates thru check for updates and there was ics any so i don't understand how urs ent come yet i dent do it thru kies
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
may i know malaysian s2g can update to ics??
still confused myself as XEU is released so ICS should be avalible through my phone and i dont wanna flash samsung roms myself just incase i brick/invalid my warrenty, i guess the only way is to take it to a samsung repair shop but dosent that mean i have to pay for the update when others get it for free?, just frustrating, is there anyone here who can sugest the correct ICS rom for the Code XEU?
update: ive found my product code and there is a ICS firmware on checkfus do i download it is it the right one? and if so why dosent kies see my phone as a possible update?
Sabsack said:

UP to you your choice .
it is it the right one?
Who knows you put the codes in correct then presume so if not its easy to tell once flashed .
and if so why dosent kies see my phone as a possible update?
You need a clairvoyant or try asking Samsung .
Personally in your shoes i would stick with what you have and not bother updating .
Because the next post you make is probably how do i restore to GB .

Are Released Firmware Updates Compatible for All GT-I9300 Devices?

Hi There!
I was wondering if the latest firmware updates compatible with any of the SGS3 GT-I9300 devices?
The one I currently have right now has:
Android version : 4.0.4
Baseband version : I9300XXLFB
Build number : IIMM76D.I9300XXBLFB
And I am really planning to update this device to the latest Android version 4.1.2 but I cannot even update it at JellyBean through the Software update of the phone itself.
I really need your help guys.
Compatible yes .
Best no but that just means you flash a different modem .
cannot even update it at JellyBean through the Software update of the phone itself.
>> you can only update if their is an update for your phone >>>>>

Oh really? Didn't even know that. I thought that "Software update" updates the phone to the latest Android version. Anyways, I usually go to SamMobile for updating the firmware of my other device. Could I choose from any Country/Carrier listed to obtain the 4.1.2 update for this phone?
Up. I just would like to follow up this thread.
My questions are still left unanswered.
Any help would still be appreciated.
Still, follow up. I just need an answer.
When I use SamMobile to update the firmware, Could I choose from any Country/Carrier listed to obtain the 4.1.2 update or does it require to be from the carrier's release only?
Because there are instances that it takes a very long time to get the latest updates in my country and I really wanted to upgrade my Android version as soon as possible already.
Yes. I too had that same build number and baseband. From what I found, the region for that firmware is either United Arab Emirates or Kenya. I downloaded from sammobile.com the firmware for my country philippines. No problem at all, update 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. HTH

[Q] Downgrade firmware from Australian carrier Jellybean to UK ICS?

Hi Guys
I'm a newbie here... I've done thorough searches here, but no-one's posted a query like I seem to have?!
I purchased an Australian SGS3 I9300 on the Optus network from the UK eBay site (this wasn't mentioned in the auction, so I expected to receive a full UK firmware/spec phone), it comes with Jellybean which I'm not a massive fan of...
Am I able to downgrade the australian 4.1.2 Jellybean firmware, to either an international or UK (O2 Telefonica) ICS 4.0 (which I love)?
Is it just a general download of the international firmware from Sammobile and flash through Odin?
Any help and advise appreciated

I would root the phone first and make a backup of your current firmware. Then just get the ICS FW you want to flash and do it through odin.

I was 'hoping' not to root it, and just do it as a general firmware download?

wouldn't you rather have a backup just in case though? you can always use triangle away and then once you flash with odin you will be back to stock anyway!
Get a copy of the firmware that is currently on the phone or at least make a note of it .
Then via Odin flash a stock UK rom from stock rom thread or from sammobile.com .

Thanks for your reply guys - very helpful
I'm going to make the backup and install the new (older) firmware

As @JJEgan said, no link between firmware update and SIMlock.
If the phone is unlock properly (free by default or unlock with samsung codes) you have no chance (zero !) to simlock the device.
If the phone is unlock with a third-part software (like Voodoo Unlocker), an update to jelly bean will relock the phone.
Thanks to all Who Helped Me.
i have successfully updated my s3 to Jb 4.1.2 with Samsung Kies and without any single problem.
