Hey,
my S3 4.2.2 has the baseband (modem?) I9300XXELKB running CM 10.1.3-RC2-i9300, kernel 3.0.64-CM-ge8aa6a7 [email protected] #1
I tried looking over at SamMobile for the Firmware I9300XXELKB but I can't find anything, only XXELLA? When I got the phone it was unbranded and unlocked, first boot was in french. Does it matter which Firmware I download? or can I just go with any carrier 4.2.2?
4.2 was never released for the i9300, just flash the latest available for your country. Backup your efs first then factory reset after flash.

Couple of places you can get stock roms: Samfirmware.com, here (this site is better than Samfirmware IMHO) or with the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on Google/XDA).
Yes, you can install a stock rom for any region, but with one caveat. If you install a rom that isn't for your region, you may not be able to get future OTA updates from your carrier. Which isn't really a big deal because if your carrier does release a stock rom for your region, you could always download it with Checkfus & flash it with Odin (like almost everyone does on here).
Ok I went to update my phone through kies and forgot that i have a different kernal than before. Kies told me i cant update through it. I assume thats cause im using a different kernal.
Here is the details from my phone.
Model - GT-I9100
Android Version - 4.0.4
Baseband Version - I9100XXLQ6
Kernal Version - 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023
Build Number - IMM76D.XWLPT
I am locked on O2 UK i think.
I have noticed since flashing this kernal last july that my phone performance has been poor in terms of it switching off by itself and so on.
What I want to know is how can i get the original firmware back on my phone so i can update via kies. And I also want to know how to install Jelly Bean on this phone and how I go about it?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Aaron.
Hey,
i have found out that the latest rom O2 UK has released is android 4.0.4
you can download the firmware from here
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/159884527/f4d3bd8/I9100XWLPD_I9100O2ULP7_O2U.zip.html
You will have to flash that with Odin, just unzip the file and put it in the pda section on Odin.
After that kies should be able to recognize your phone,
if you want to update to 4.0.4 from kies you will have to pick an earlier firmware from
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9100&pcode=O2U#firmware
same precedure as above for flashing it, i have not used kies since i bought my gs1 2 years ago but i believe it will work
Good luck friend!
Thanks for that dude, much appreciated
Is this a Jelly Bean ROM or just original stock ROM for O2??????????
no, just Ice Cream Sandwich, but it is stock Touchwiz. (Samsung Rom)
but the Jelly Bean update must be around the corner i guess.
if not you could allways flash a stock Samsung JellyBean rom that is open for europe,
the main difference may be a different modem and that there is no O2 apps prebaked into the Rom.
i think the one for nordic counties should work well since you are in the uk,
you can find it at
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9100&pcode=0#firmware
Thanks again man, you have been very very helpful.
Thanks
no problem mate, glad i could help you out,
and please let me know if it works with kies afterwards
What will the difference in modems do? Will there be any affect on what I can do with my phone?
What is the modem for? Internet connection i take it?
Kies doesn't let you update with the nordic counties rom at all. But it works sweet on my S2 so I'm happy.
Hi Guys
My GT-I9100 S2 currently runs on the leaked firmware 4.1.2, baseband version is I9100XXLS6, build number is JZO54k.I9100XXLSJ and CSC is LS1(COA).
I'd like to fix the buggy wireless and frozen screen when locked hence I want to know if I can replace it with an official firmware from any other region? So that it can get updates from OTA or Kies?

Figured it out, flashed with the Hong Kong TGY official JB 4.1.2 firmware and managed to change the CSC code to TGY as well. It fixed the above two issues and I can now get updates via OTA and Kies.
Hi all,
I have a question about what version of stock to flash.
- I have rooted and flashed Slimbean on the phone ages ago.
- Back then i runned into a problem where the new modem version was flashed into the phone, and had the IMEI problem etc..
- I could not remember what version modem was installed originally. but i managed to got it working with i9300xxemg4
Now i have some problems with Slimkat or CM11, so i want to flash back to stock, before making the update to kitkat.
- I found the original stock on samsung-updates dot com, but i am not sure if i can safely flas the following version:
Region: MBC (germany)
PDA: I9300XXUGND2 CSC: I9300MBCGND1 MODEM: I9300XXUGNA8 CHANGELIST: 2429075 BUILD DATE: 02.04.2014
My phone being bought in Germany, should logically work with this modem and firware, correct ?
Or should i continue to look for a version that offers the same modem version i have installed currently EMG4 ?
PS: I will be flashing with Mobile ODIN pro, i guess this should be no problem ?
Thanks for any help in advance,

Hi, I was given a Galaxy S2 I9100 with baseband version I9100BOKJ1 T-mobile that has android 2.3.5 installed.
So, I wanted to update it to 4.1.2 through OTA but it says that there are no updates available, what are my options?
Can I just install an official 4.1.2 stock rom through odin? If so, what 4.1.2 stock ROM is compatible with this phone? Thanks!
Yes, you can flash a 4.1.2 stock ROM via Odin. There are plenty of stock ROMs on the internet for our device, most of them are on sammobile.com, but you need to sign in to use it. A simple Google search will show its results. Try to find a ROM matching to your region/carrier.
Think about making a backup of your baseband. There are guides on the internet. If you get big problems with GPS or signal strength with the new ROM, you can flash it back. Some people report the stock baseband solves GPS and signal issues, nevertheless it didn't change anything for me when I tried around switching basebands.
Hope this helps.

Some regions didn't get JB update at all. You can flash your phone using odin.
Go to below link find a none carrier firmware download and flash.

My current rom is xwlsw.
And don't try AOSP stock is always the best.
