Samsung galaxy s3 running on 4.3 does not connect to the wifi. Tried all kinds of solutions offered on the net but to no avail. The device is rooted. I am thinking if I could go back to the official ROM but to 4.2 since Wifi was working then, but could not find the ROM. All the links have been deactivated or removed from the sites. Can someone help please.

Hi,
You have Internationnal S3 i9300, right ?
To download official firmware, you can go :
- http://samsung-updates.com/
- http://www.sammobile.com/
EDIT : BTW, I think i9300 never had official Android 4.2 from Sammy. Maybe you had unofficial 4.2 ?
AFAIK It had 4.1.2 and then directly 4.3. But maybe I'm wrong...

That doesn't seem to answer my question though. Stock on my phone is T-Mobile ICS 4.04 and is the galaxy note made for T-Mobile.
*My problem is not being able to flash 4.2.2 ROMs (such as jelly beer 4.2.2 , etc.) Because it was made for AT&T i717.
The first link tells you how to "convert" your phone to at&t stock ICS by extracting and replacing the boot.IMG file, except you are doing the opposite ROMs. The second link is to the most current JB based ROM, but it looks like without a current boot.IMG from a T-Mobile ROM you are at a dead end.
So, in my opinion, you can't yet. I saw they have CM10 over there. What could a close-fitting CM10.1 have for you that a native CM10 doesn't have?

hello,
after the "sort of recent" reveal of the galaxy s4 i have decided to trade in my gt I9300 to get the s4. but obviously they wont take the phone if its been rooted etc, i know how to install custom roms and how to go about un-rooting and reseting the flash counter. so bring my question....
where would i go to get a version of android 4.1.2 for the gt I9300. i have googled around but only seem to come across silly articles about leaked versions of 4.2
all help is much appreciated :good:

as mentioned, easiest way is sammobile.com, download the rom and follow the un-root guides and you should be fine.

Hello there
I checked "Software Update" but I did not find anything, but that's expected because my network provider is pretty slow in providing updates, especially for Android devices. I checked the SamMobile website which provides the latest updates but I couldn't find anything beyond 4.1.2, however I am certain that I saw people on this forum that own the I9300 and have 4.2+ (and my friend has it on his Google phone, whatever its model is I don't remember). Is there a way to get it? Would I have to root or is there an RUU available? I am not sure if "RUU" is the correct word, but it was when I had the HTC One X.
Thanks guys!
There is only the unofficial leak of 4.2.1 from samsung. Latest official is 4.1.2
Obviously we have aosp 4.2.2 but this is not samsung based

How do you go about installing an unofficial leak and are there any disadvantages/dangers when doing so? Would I have to root and use Clockworkmod or can I just directly install it from Odin, for instance? And one last thing, is it going to update the baseband (or w.e it is called)? I wouldn't want that so I can revert to 4.1.2 at any time!
I'm not sure if there is an odin version tbh. I thought the leak was pretty good (rooted) but many found it buggy. It was very incomplete.
I reckon we may skip 4.2.1 anyway and go to 4.2.2 as with the s4. It can't be far off.

Thanks a lot for your replies, mate. I guess the best thing to do is wait for 4.2 then. I wouldn't want to install a buggy firmware, I mean 4.1.2 itself isn't that stable anyway. I remember when the S3 first came out with v4.0.4, the S2 got it shortly after, so I am hoping the same scenario takes places asap.
Thanks again and cheers!

Surprisingly it seems this phone is running a leak firmware that is android 4.2.1 and it is a custom rom that you are currently running as we can see in the about phone section which means you phone is rooted( try downloading Root Checker just to check if it is rooted, it should be rooted )
...some custom roms dont have the options of NFC in them so there for you cant use them....try flashing a custom rom with android 4.1.2 ( not the leak Android 4.2.1 and 4.2.2)...that should do it and before that go into your about phone section and scroll down and take a screen shot of the custom roms name and version so that i have an idea of which rom this is
If this helped you why not press the thanks button

Try going to sammobile and reflashing 4.4.4, when I initially flashed the OTA my Bluetooth stopped working in my truck. I reflashed and everything worked as advertised. I'm now on cyanogenmod 12 it's awesome!
