Dear Jaycee ,
Can I update this through Samsung kies ยฟ what will happened to my siyah kernel after this update ? n will this update clean my current apps installation ? . thank you

Chuan
No, unless your existing firmware is based on Poland too. It will remove SiyahKernel. Nope, official firmware is non wipe (unless you face issue and need to factory reset).
Dear Jaycee ,
Thank for the info

Chuan
Please dont update the 4.1 version for S-III device it will voids the warranty, i request you please wait untill u recieve notification form the carrier all updates are developed by samsung & carries so dont trust thrid party updates. And dont suffer later
When will malaysia the malaysia update arrive … surely before my iphone 5 preorder?
Hard to say…
Only For rooted sgs3 ?
No root access is needed to install official firmware.
Hi Jayce,
it’s me again. Last time was followed ur guideline and I did rooted my s3.
I nvr flash any custom firmware just because waiting for THIS! and thanks God, finally it released.
My question is, as I told you, I rooted the device. So should I un-root it and then only follow the guideline given above to flash this stock JB?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rick (25-9-2012 12:52am)
No need to un-root. Install official firmware will auto un-root for you. Then you need to re-root it again.
Hi Jayce,
Would you mind checking the link again coz I’m getting this error when I try to DL the firmware, “This file does not exist, the access to the following file is limited or it has been removed due to infringement of copyright.”
Also is it ok to install this via Odin even though I have this build IMM76D.I9300UBBLG2 (which I’m confuse where this unit come from..:P I thought my device is from UK)
Thanks!
Hi Melvin, there are several download sites. Try other if one failed.
It should be okay as long as yours SGS3 is I9300 model.
Jayce changing CSC is not required when I install JB right? I don’t want to wipe my current setup.
No need.
Hey Jayce love your posts. Thanks to you i rooted my galaxy s3 running ics ๐ but now i wanted to know if tjere is a way to root my gs3 running jellybean??
The rooting process is the same as Ice Cream Sandwich.
Thanks man, so i just follow your tutorial for ics?
Yes George.
Thanks a lot ๐
will my warranty void if i install this firmware?
It might if XXDLIB Firmware is not for your region. But you can always restore back to your own stock firmware anytime you want. So warranty is safe with that.
Is there any chinese input keyboard available?
I don’t think so.
Hi i’ve just rooted my 4.04 ics, now i’ve got the official jellybean update prompt.
After i download it and accept the terms my device boots into CWM-based recovery menu.
How do i get it to update to 4.1.1? Should i just follow this guide and use the rom in the link you’ve provided? Thanks
Hi Gav, you can use Samsung Kies to upgrade.
Hello, if i install the poland version on my Galaxy S3 will i lose reception etc. i have a different build number and baseband because i am from Australia. Can i still install this firmware without losing reception.
thanks
It should be working but I can’t confirm since I am not in Australia.
hi jayce, do you know if there’s a new JB custom rom for S2?
There is Jelly Bean custom ROM for Galaxy S2. Not from Samsung but CM10 and AOKP ROM.
can you please send me the link where i can find the roms? thanks in advance.

Hello. Installing this Pollad JB firmware changes my CSC? If it does, will i have any problem with cellular network? problem in making calls or using data? Im from malaysia.
Yes, it does. Should not have problem to make call as I am using Europe firmware and CSC too.
Installing this firmware wipes out my data? My contacts, files etc.
By right, no. But no harm to make backup first.
Dear Jaycee,
so far i only root my s3 and install siyah kernel but i tried all the ways from net and few labtops and cables , my skies still stuck at connecting stage and i even uninstall my skies already but the problem still persist , is that the only way is i install official update through Odin flashing when sammobile release the Jellybean for XME ? Thank for advice
Regards,
Chuan
SiyahKernel won’t work with Samsung Kies. Yes, install with Odin.
ok , thanks
Dear Jayce,
Dev Rom like Check Rom HD xx seems interesting but i wonder after flashing that , can the stock rom certain apps being kept (do wipe needed?) and if nope , can chinese character keyboard be installed to the Check Rom and will flashing the CHeck rom affect the avaibility of S3 to enjoy promotional free apps from samsung ? Will different like Modem: XXDLIB which may different our Malaysian Region affect the function of the phone ? Thank you
Regards,
Chuan
CheckROM is custom ROM based on Samsung Firmware. So most of the Samsung apps and features are there (you can install with KitchenPro manually).
Check with ROM chef on need to wipe or not.
Yes, CheckROM support Samsung Apps.
Modem only affect signal. No effect to other functions.
Dear Jayce,
Firstly please dont mind my ignorance as this is my first android phone so i dont know anything about it ! ๐ I live in new zealand and i bought this phone online just 3 days ago. The instruction manual was in another (european) language, the “baseband” : I9300XXLH1 and the “build number” is : IMM76D.I9300XXBLH1 . Please tell me if this means my warranty will be void if i do the upgrade like above or if it is ok. I tried to search but i cant find where my phone is from. Also if i do the process anyway can i change the new firmware to my old firmware for warranty problems with kies suit on my computer? thank you in advance for answering my many questions!!!
Hi Dev, please take your time to explore Android platform first. Don’t install other firmware so soon.
T_T ok…
thanks for the honest answer though… please keep updating information on the galaxy s3, i will follow you on facebook!!! i like honest opinions!
Hi Jayce,excellent stuff here.
I’m from UK using a GT-I9300 which is on an o2 contract.
Would you recommend using the Polish JB update?
Wait for official update… ๐
Ok will do. Thanks.

TQ
Nope…

what should i do now
Restore back to your previous firmware.
Hi there, I just updated to the 4.1.1 Jellybean software of Poland. I am wondering how do I flash back to my previous 4.0.4 ICS? Do I just download the firmware and reflash it using odin or do a factory reset?
Hi Bob, you need to factory reset in recovery. Then install firmware.
Thank you for your reply. Will doing a factory reset in recovery wipe out all my data? If so, would Samsung Kies be the best method to back up my data?
Yes. No, I prefer to use Titanium Backup.
Hi will installing this get rid of the annoying carrier welcome screen I get when I power on my phone?
No idea Ryan as I don’t have carrier version of SGS3. You need to try it to find out.
Is there any chance of pricking my phone if I do this? Is it easy to revert the Os back to stock if I don’t like it?
Hi Ryan, try to consult others with same model at XDA Forum. No idea can brick or not.
Restore back is simple. Please refer to this guide.
https://www.jayceooi.com/2012/06/14/how-to-restore-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-video/
Hello there Jayce, I have one more question for you.
I would like to ask in the event the jelly bean software for my own region were to be released and at the point I have already applied the jelly bean update for a different region, can I just flash it directly to my phone via ODIN since it’s the same Android Version? I’m on the polish version and the localised singapore version would arrive soon.
Yes but might need to factory reset in recovery if something went wrong.
If I download an official firmware (JB. 4.1.1) from sammobile website will I be able to install the firmware following this (https://www.jayceooi.com/2012/06/22/how-to-install-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-with-odin-video/) tutorial ?
Yes Duncan.
Can i type Chinese word after installed this official jelly bean to my S3…I’m from Malaysia…
Not sure about that but you can always install google PinYin.
yeah…i still can type chinese
hello…after i installed this jelly bean, when Malaysia get the official update for the jelly bean will i be informed?and can i update to malaysia version jelly bean via OTA
No, you need to install Malaysia version with Odin manually.
So when the Malaysia version released will you upload to your website?
Sure will make a blog post about it. ๐
How to restore back to the previous firmware?
Carsley, https://www.jayceooi.com/2012/06/14/how-to-restore-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-video/
thank you!
Thanks for the great guide. Now i was wondering, since ive rooted my s3 and updated it into jellybean, what can i do if i want the phone back to normal and receive ”proper” updates. Thanks in advance.
Hi harry, factory reset in recovery mode. Then install stock firmware with Odin.
One more question, can i receive normal updates with just ROOT, and what is the best way to check new updates for the JB now that i have it installed ? thanks for the quick replies.
Yes, check upgrade with Samsung Kies.
Hey my phone comes up on kies as sgh-i747m and says there is no update if thats the name does that mean that its not an i9300 and i cant get the update?
Yes, it is not I9300. Need to wait for official update from Samsung.
tested and my S3 working like a charm with Jelly Bean. Since Samsung already roll out Jelly Bean in Polland for Galaxy Note, do you think that same process will work with Note?
The installation process is the same.
the only latest firmware i found via sammobile.com is from russia. Is it compatible with our country?
No idea, I didn’t try Russia firmware before.
Hi Jayce Ooi, i hv update 4.1.1 my S3(ICS not rooted) through OTA (over the air) without factory reset. I only got one big problem. Go Settings, Application Manager, it will display details for 4 seconds +-,then it display ” Unfortunately, Settings has stopped”. I cannot use Application Manager at all. Can you help give me some hints .Thank you Jayce Ooi.
Hi Andrew, look like you need to factory reset. System not stable already…

Thanx bro

Hi jaycee.. I’ve rooted my sgs3 a while ago. Then last night i update my firmware to 4.1.1 jb via KIES. Ia this will automatically unroot my phone? Before i update my firmware i use OTA rootkeepeer to unroot my device temporarily. After i root, i still find my rootes apps installed on my phone, but it cant work just like my phone isn.’t rooted. Is this mean my device has been unrootwd automatically? Thanks btw!
I mean after i update my firmware i can still find rooted apps on my sgs3*
OTA RootKeeper won’t work on Samsung devices. You need to re-root it.
I see. My question is, does my sgs3 no no longer rooted anymore? Tbh i was planning to unroot my sgs3. But if it already unrooted, then it’ll be nice
Not 100% unrooted because you still have root apps. Anyway, warranty still void unless you clear custom binary download counter.
https://www.jayceooi.com/2012/06/14/how-to-restore-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-video/
Ahh i see. If i do that steps i will do afactory reset then. And it will erase all my data right? If i stay on tracks right now, and do unistalling root application manually, will this affect my phone’s performance? If i wasnt here to warranty, do i need to do those steps? (in case at this point some of not working root may affect my phone performance)
thanks jaycee!
Yes. No by right (unless the firmware upgrade is causing the issue). Yes.
Thanks a lot jaycee. So what i need to do next is to flash. Btw, how to backup all my application data and application before i do factory reset? Thanks again
Titanium Backup… But you need root access to use it.

Dear Joyce
i bought s3 its base band is I9300XXLH1, it came with manual written in Persian. i live in Pakistan. when i connect to samsung kies it shows this the latest version along with PDA/Phone/CSC and (THR). now tell me what is the region of my phone and when i ll be able to get update of Jelly bean?
Kamran
Iran – based on THR. Please consult Samsung Support for Jelly Bean firmware release date.
Hi Jayce,
My S3 base band is I9300XXLFB, upon connecting to KIES, my latest firmware says PDA:LFB / PHONE:LFB / CSC:LF3 (AFR), by the way I live in the Philippines. Is the latest firmware of my phone and my region compatible? Am I able to update my S3 either from KIES or OTA?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry Jkeizher, I don’t live in Philippines. No idea about region compatible. You can use both Samsung Kies and OTA to upgrade.
Is it can upgrade for samsung SL?? if not where can i find it to upgrade my samsung SL??
No, it is for SGS3 only. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1368
Hello Jayce
My name is Anil, from India.. I got my unlocked SGS3 Handset from Dubai( UAE ) a month ago, with following Details
I have a GT-I9300,
Version 4.04
Baseband Version Unknown
Kernel
3.0.15-554452-user
se.infra@SEP-98 #1
SMP PREEMPT Tue May 15 17:57:57 KST 2012
Build number IMM76D.I9300XXALE9
when I use the *#1234# step, I get these
AP: I9300XXALE9
CP: unknown
CSC: I9300OJVALE9.
What do u suggest me to do in order to update to Jb.. thanks in Advance
Hi Anil, check with Samsung Kies see got update or not. If no, wait for official release. Else you can install it manually with Odin – the unofficial way.
Thanks for the prompt Reply..
Anyways, Please suggest, what is the best solution of getting updated w/o Rooting.. I am not a Tech/Geek Guy. I have downloaded Kies on my System & mobile. but they fail to connect. How to check for the suitable Kies update.
Should i search for I9300XXALE9 in sammobile.com.
Thanks again
Hi Anil, Samsung Kies is the official way to update firmware. Please consult Samsung Support if Samsung Kies is not working for you.
Hi Jayce, I installed the XXDLIB version but was wondering if there will be any effect on my S3 since I’m in Malaysia? Are the XXDLIB and Malaysian versions (with DX in the build number) essentially the same?
No. Almost the same.

Sorry rox, I have no idea too. Please consult Samsung Support.
Hi Jayce,
I am not sure that my following question makes any sense.
Is there any way to change firmware of phone to get regional compatibility?
I mean I have SGS3 GT-I9300 with THR(IRAN) latest firmware updated on it and I live in INDIA, so is there any way by which I can change my firmware XXLH1 to some Indian firmware release e.g.DDLI7.
Please reply, I just want to do this to be able to get regional updates by Samsung Kies.

Atom
Yes Atom, you can install India firmware with Odin.
Thank you Jayce, I will give it a try ๐
hi jayce i have problem with my camera when i opet pass tree second and wrote camera failed
Hi semir, try factory reset see.
Hi Jayce,
Thanks for the nice posts. I have a similar problem like semir. I upgraded my S3 to Jelly Bean (Build Number: I9300XXDLK1) last week and since then my stock camera is not working. It exits out to home screen saying “Unfortunately, camera stopped”. I did a factory reset and still I am facing the problem. Do you have any alternative method to solve this problem. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Note: I am from India.
Hi Mobigeek, please consult Samsung Support since factory reset did not solve it.
Hi Jayce,
I have a problem, i cant update my phone, and i just bought it, the version on my phone is 4.0.4 and when i try to update it says no update is available, i live in israel, i got GT-I9300
Hi Ruslan, Android 4.0.4 might be the latest version for your region. Do consult Samsung Support to confirm.
Hi, will this work with an unlocked optus carrier branded s3? My baseband version is I9300XXLE8. If it will work will I still receive OTA official updates?
Sorry Ryan, I have no idea because I don’t have this carrier brand model.
If it did work though would I still receive official OTA updates? I And would they be based on Poland updates cos that’s the baseband version?
Yes, official firmware can get OTA update.
hi

Sorry pavitar, I have no idea because China SGS3 is not same as international model. You can’t install I9300 firmware on it.
๐ plz its baseband version is I9300DDKL1
