[JVH Install Help] Bell Canada

Here's what I did to get JVH (with 850mhz band) and CSC for Canada on my phone. It worked for me at least

**************Disclaimer:***************
I'm not responsible if this bricks your phone, as "the boss" said if I break mine, she'll break me... or I get a $20 replacement phone
Backup your /efs folder, backup EVERYTHING, just in case... I'm paranoid so I did it all
ROM NOTES:
Got deodexed from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11256520&postcount=1
Modem:
KC1
Busybox:
1.18.4
Hosts file updated for ad blocking using:
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
Here's the steps I followed:
Save all files to folder/desktop
Connect phone via usb and copy JVH_KC1_BMC.zip to root of sdcard
Restart phone in download mode
Open Odin and click PDA
Select Speedmod tar file
Uncheck Auto-Reboot
Check F.Reset Time (I don't know what it does, but it's always checked)
Flash the tar.
Once complete and the box says "PASS" in green, unplug your phone and pull the battery (I was told it's safe, as it's in the MIUI instructions as well)
Put battery back in and start phone in recovery with VOL UP+HOME+POWER
In recovery choose to update from zip
Choose file from sdcard
Choose the JVH_KC1_BMC zip file and update
The phone will restart/install.
Once it's started up for the first time I recommend restarting in download mode and flashing the stock JVH kernal
You can also use any kernal you want.
Let me know if I can help at all. I was trying to make a completely odin flashable tar for this but failed miserably :9
I'll do my best to answer any questions however this is my first time making something to flash for you all
Note:
I'm not sure where to put this, sorry to mods/admins if it's in the wrong spot, please let me know

Hi,
I saw your thread, and I found it very interesting for people who own a Bell SGS 9000m Vibrant and wanna upgrate to Gingerbread.
So I decided to flash the Gingerbread JVH ROM just like you did, but I need to know a few things:
1. Will I be able to downgrade to my original stock froyo after this flash ?
2. Will I be able to update via Kies in case Bell release an official gingerbread update ?
3. Right now my phone is SIMUnlocked, will I lose my SIMunlockation after the flash ?
4. And is my actual configuration right to excecute this flash or should I flash something else before ?
My configuration is the following:
Baseband version
I9000UGJL2
Firmware
2.2
Kernel
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #3
Build number
FROYO.UGJL2
galaxy s vibrant bell
gt-i9000m
Thanks for your hard work, I hope to read back from you soon.

I have exact same configuration and exact same questions as poster above!!!

Still no answer... Guess we'll have to try if wanna know...

1. yes, it's possible
2. yes, but you would either need to downgrade first or do a kies hack
3. no
4. you can do it straight

Thanks zorxd.
I am going to try. So there is no need for me to select any Pit file or did the guy forget to mention it ? Also can we tick the repartition option in Odin?
Sorry if I ask usekess question I am used to flash android but new to the SGS flashing...

when you repartition you need a PIT file.
My advice is to not repartition unless you need it.

Too late... I did it got stuck into bootloop. I had an error when I tried to install the zip from the recovery (I had recovery 3e) : E : Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) . However, I flashed the back eclair JHL and went back to the stock eclair rom. I am going to restart from there following your intructions. I now have recovery 2e ( Somehow I can't get ClockWorkMod Recovery to load directly; it always send me to recovery 2e and there I apply update.zip to go to CWM recovery)
Thanks for your help, I'll let you know if I manage to get it done.

Still get the error E:Short write of/tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) when try to install JVH_KC1_BMC.zip from the recovery 3e ( this recovery comes right after I flash SpeedmodK15E_withLoaders.tar ...
Don't know what else to try... Help please..

I did it a slightly different way. From 2.2, I flashed a stock 3 part gingerbread rom (phone, PDA, CSC) with bootloader update using ODIN 1.82. I then flashed CF root gingerbread kernel for CWM3 and then flashed the KC1 modem from clockwork recovery for the 850 band.

Could you please show me the exact files you used so I can try to do the same ?

Aren't there at least a couple threads on how to install jvh/jvp on an i9000? Its the exact same process as those you just have to flash the kc1 modem via cwm after you are done. It sounds like you guys are experimenting too much.

Our canadian phone is not really different from all the other ones, so you don't need a special "Bell Canada" installation.
If you want JVH, you can follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
You don't have to do everything like fugumod, etc. I would flash JVH via odin and then flash CF root kernel via odin so you get CWM3.
There's also leaked 2.3.4 JVP gingerbread out, if you feel inclined:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
There's a way to enable 850 band on the different gingerbread modems, but i never bothered, I just flashed the KC1 modem for Bell which has the band (via CWM3). Search for I9000UGKC1

Okay I am really starting to freak out now...
I am stuck in bootloop, I can't get out og it. I tried flash Back the Stock Bell Firmware but it keeps boot looping. Download mode is okay. But it started doing this I had a message like sd could not be mounted in recovery 3e. Now I can't even access recovery after I flash Eclair but Download mode is still okay...
Aby ideas ?

Have you tried flashing back the stock JL2 firmware from bell? (found on samfirmware.com)
I've never encountered this error before, I wonder if it is a problem with the bootloaders, as the official froyo firmware from bell had a secondary bootloader and gingerbread has its own bootloaders as well.

I imagine you'll need the stock bell firmware as said above and also the proper PIT file to go along with it.

Also if you repartitioned it when you tried to flash the whatever it was when you tried you will also have to repartition it when going back down to froyo.
2.2 and 2.3 use different bootloaders therefore if you try to mix and match rom's without the bootloaders and repartioning you will get a ****y phone.

Thanks for your help guys. I didn't solve it yet, but i will open a new thread to prevent this one from getting to messy.

[Q] Downgrade ZSLPF to GB 2.3.6

Hello Everyone.
I have read so much negative comments on people bricking their GNote by doing data wipe in CWM. So I have steer clear from anything that has a LPY kernel and my GNote is not rooted and no ClockWorkMod Recovery has ever been installed on the device. It is a pure Stock GNote.
Yesterday I decided to go jump a cliff and install ZSLPF stock rom using the PC Odin v1.85 with every boxes ticked just as it shown on the web. Yes the works.
re-partition tick
pit tick
bootloader tick
pda tick
modem tick
csc tick
Installation ran smoothly and everything started up with no problem except a couple of bugs I found in the OS.
1. double click home to start voice talk. program start but it is not register anything from mic. have to cancel it to start again for it to work.
2. Network error occur while accessing Youtube App from a link within an email, but accessing the same link using Internet browser is fine.
3. Don't really like the S Bookmark widget and I miss the buddy widget from Touchwiz
Base on the above reasons, I would very much like to drop the rom back to Gingerbread. But since I have flashed the pit and bootloader from ZSLPF when I upgrade. I'm not really sure which would be a better way to downgrade it:
This is for a pure stock, un-rooted, no CWM only has stock recovery and no custom rom has ever been installed on the device.
I ask please if anyone can help me choose the following. I'm comfortable flashing using PC Odin
1. Flash 2.3.6 GNote stock rom over the stock ZSLPF stock ICS
2. Flash 2.3.6 GNote stock rom with pit and bootloader
3. other suggestions from above
Thanks in Advance

Bad Idea my friend
I think u got bigger things to worry about especially the eMMC firmware bug since now u are in line to receive it by moving to ICS

once you flash the bootloader, you cannot get back to GB already...

I have flashed to LPF via MobileOdin. I had to restored to gb via Cwm recovery from lpf after I changed something. After that I flashed back again using mobileodin.No issues.

err.
i was able to restore to stock GB via pc odin with pit and repartition and the GB i chose only had the one file and no boot loader.
I did this so that i can move to CM9
so IT is possible to go back to GB.

Sorry to OP. Just seen the post saying do not post any question. I will start this thread in the a&a again. Very sorry

Did you use the pit file from here:

I'm planning to use the above pit file and bootloader to flash the phone together with a directly rootable rom.
But let me gather my courage first

Yes that's the pit with repartition checked
I flashed back to a rootable gb
The rootable gb did not come with a bootloader so it's safe to revert to
I then rooted the gb and went back to cm9 all in all a 15 min process

Are those links only for pit files or do they include everything? Do you have to use a pit file for going back to GB?

Thank Nandihno
I have sucessfully downgrade ZSLPF ~ ICS to ZSKJ6 ~ GB
I used the pit file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1530501
I used the Bootloader file from here: (It might not be necessary, but I did it anyway)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23052721#post23052721
I choose ZSKJ6 because it is a direct rootable rom
Flashed all of the above using PC Odin v3 1.85 with re-partition ticked.
The installation process went smoothly but the restart was a little bumpy. Got constant FC error at the "Change Language" screen and goes any further. Have to go into stock recovery to preform a wipe on data and cache and woa'la. It's all Good and Happy Days.
Thanks again Mate

[Tut] Unroot the Galaxy SIII (for stock updates/warranty)

Hi All,
I put together a tutorial on how to unroot the galaxy s3 and get it back to stock (for warranty or to get stock updates)
Things you will need...
1. PC Odin
(Check Attachment)
2. Your Firmware
Sammobile.com
Video Instructions
Written Instructions
1. Backup what you need to
2. Install ADB Drivers (Samsung Kies)
3. Put your phone in download mode - Hold Vol Dn + Power + Home for 10 seconds then press Vol Up to continue
4. Check if Custom Binary Download is NO, if Yes then proceed to step 6 if it says 1 count or something like that then go to step 5
5. Follow the thread below to reset the binary counter (or check my video tutorial to do so...) once reset get back to download mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
(Thanks to Chainfire)
6. Go to SamMobile.com and download the latest firmware for GT-I9300 (Galaxy S3)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9300&r=-1#modelsa
7. The downloaded firmware would be a zip file right click and extract it to get a .tar.md5 file
8. Connect the phone to the pc via usb cable
9. Run Extract the zip file that you downloaded from the attachment below and run Odin3 1.85. exe
10. Make sure that only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked and click on PDA, select the .tar.md5 file that we just extracted
11. Now hit Start
12. Once the phone is up go to Settings -> About Device -> Status, check if the device status says NORMAL... if it does, then the device is unrooted if it still says MODIFIED continue...
13. Reboot into Android Recovery by holding Vol UP + Home + Power till you see Samsung Galaxy S3 displayed on screen...
14. Do a factory wipe and wipe cache then reboot
15. Check Download mode again, if 0 or NO you are done and the S3 can be sent in for warranty if it still shows 1 go to step 16.
16. If the counter stays at 1 it means u were on a non stock kernel... what u need to do now is root (since u have just unrooted you are now on a stock kernel) use triangle away and then flash the stock rom again.... the counter will then be 0 but status might show modified, in that case do a factory wipe and youd be back to a totally stock s3
Hope this guide helps someone

Is there a way to keep all my files on the phone?
Specifically when I get my SGS3, I want to keep/transfer my data files of my games from my old X10, you think it'll be possible?

OK, just to make sure I understand everything:
- Step 2 means "Install Kies"
- I will be able to update from Kies and whatnot after the "unroot" is over.
- Any SD card files will still be accessible, as long as they're official (say, an app loaded onto the SD card).
Thanks for your help in advance.

My system shows NORMAL yet Titanium backup still works just fine????????

This will work no matter what's on your phone.
It's so easy.
1. Download your firmware and extract it to your Odin folder so you have your .tar.md5 file, flash it to your phone while your phone is in download mode using Odin. Use it as the PDA in Odin. Wait 5-15 minutes. Go to recovery and wipe everything. Done.
I'm doing it now

Hey guys,
i have cm10 on my i9300 and i'd like to revert back to stock rom, unrooting is not needed, nor is triangle away needed. just want to try stock JB.
Problem is that i have Linux on my machines. I flashed my i9300 using cfroot and heimdall. can something similar be done with stock rom? i got the rom from sammobile.com.
Should i search for windows machine or?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: after untaring that .tar.md5 file i can see -rwxr--r-- root/root 1101420964 2012-08-21 10:44 system.img

what to use for boot?
--primary-boot or?
anyone tried that?

How do you check which country your handset is from? Thanks.

Yeah, I have a similar query. Which firmware would I need? Even after selecting my country and network I see a massive list of firmwares for the phone on SamMobile.

Take the latest one according to the date...all will work fine.....
Just in case if you will take the old one, you will need to do OTA Update or from kies to update the latest one

awesome tut..
thanks a lot, you saved me, very easy steps for unrooting SGS3 and resetting flash counters. Done it without any problems, but hard had to hard reset at the end. Thanks again, awesome work.:good:

I cant find my exact firmware guys i need help... the PDA and CSC limit it to singapore and malaysia. Its region is SFR(france). I live in pakistan and i am not receiving updates on my SGS3. While all others are. That led me to conclude that something was wrong. And this issue is more related to flashing stock firmware than unrooting but the latter is also a problem. I cant unroot as i cant find my exact firmware. If i need to claim my warranty i have to have my device status normal, no modifications,stock everything etc BUT the same product code with which i bought it and the same IMEI. Strange issue yes and im quite unlucky. Will those remain unchanged? region can be changed to france by an app but its the product code and IMEI im worried about. Any sugessions guys?

How to Flash Official Android 4.0.4 On International Galaxy Note GT N7000

How to Flash Android 4.0.4 Firmware for Galaxy Note GT N7000
This Tutorial is Divided into 4 Parts:
1) People who are running Gingerbread who are not affected by the eMMC bug
2) People who are running IceCreamSandwich who dont have the eMMC bug
3) People who are running IceCreamSandwich who have the eMMC bug
4) People who are Running Gingerbread/Icecreamsandwich and have the Android 4.0.4 released for their region.(Currently Only Germany, Malasia, Singapore and South Africa)
Please Find Your Respective Section in the tutorial below!
For Current Gingerbread Users
Since Gingerbread is safe from the eMMC superbrick bug, you can directly go ahead and do a complete factory reset/wipe and clear cashe either from settings>privacy>factory reset OR via stock recovery. After the factory reset/wipe, you need to download the "zip" file from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html
After the download is complete, open the zip file using WINRAR and you will see two files:
• A “.md5” file
• A “.dll” file
Unextract both to folder/desktop. Now you need to download ODIN and samsung drivers if you do not have them. For ODIN just download from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
For drivers just download & install the samsung kies from here:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
After installing Kies you will have the drivers installed.(you may need restart for drivers to work) Then you will need to put your phone in download mode(Volume Down + Home + Power Button) and then press volume up to continue to enter the download mode. Then connect your Galaxy Note to PC using MicroUSB cable and open ODIN. In ODIN make sure that the box has turned yellow for this to work. If it does not then there is problem with the drives. You then need to select the PDA button and navigate to the ".md5" file that you unextracted and select it. Make sure only "Auto Reboot" & "F. Reset Time" are checked and then you can hit the start button. It should then start flashing. After flashing is done a box should turn green and the phone will automatically reboot. Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
For Current IceCreamSandwich(4.0.3) Users who DON’T have eMMC brickbug
First please check whether your device has the eMMC brick bug via chainfires app called “GotBrick?” If your device does not have the brick bug then simply factory reset it via settings and then you can download the Android download the "zip" file from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html
After the download is complete, open the zip file using WINRAR and you will see two files:
• A “.md5” file
• A “.dll” file
Unextract both to folder/desktop. Now you need to download ODIN and samsung drivers if you do not have them. For ODIN just download from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
For drivers just download & install the samsung kies from here:

Reset Time" are checked and then you can hit the start button. It should then start flashing. After flashing is done a box should turn green and the phone will automatically reboot. Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
For Current IceCreamSandwich(4.0.3) Users who have eMMC brickbug
First please check whether your device has the eMMC brick bug via chainfires app called “GotBrick?” If your device has the brick bug then you cannot do a factory reset and directly install the new 4.0.4 firmware. You will first need to downgrade to a Gingerbread Firmware, then do a complete factory reset/wipe and clear cashe and then reflash the Android 4.0.4 firmware. So the first thing you need to do is download the Gingerbread Firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=1#regiona
(You will need to signup to download)
For Samsung Kies with drivers:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
For ODIN:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
After you have downloaded the zip file, unextract it and then flash the “.md5” in the PDA section of ODIN.
After flash you will have Gingerbread. In Gingerbread you have to do a wipe & clear cashe from the stock recovery(Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button). After the wipe, you need to download the Android 4.0.4 Firmware from here:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html
After the download is complete, open the zip file using WINRAR and you will see two files:
• A “.md5” file
• A “.dll” file
Unextract both to folder/desktop. Now you need to download ODIN and samsung drivers if you do not have them. For ODIN just download from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
For drivers just download & install the samsung kies from here:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
After installing Kies you will have the drivers installed.(you may need restart for drivers to work) Then you will need to put your phone in download mode(Volume Down + Home + Power Button) and then press volume up to continue to enter the download mode.

Reset Time" are checked and then you can hit the start button. It should then start flashing. After flashing is done a box should turn green and the phone will automatically reboot. Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
People who are Running Gingerbread/Icecreamsandwich and have the Android 4.0.4 released for their region
For all users who have the Android 4.0.4 Firmware update released for their region (14/07/12 - Germany, Singapore and Malasia) can also use OTA , via Samsung Kies to update their phones. Just go into the settings>About Phone>Software Update to check for the update OR another method is to connect your Galaxy Note to the PC. Open Samsung Kies and check for the firmware update. If the update is available it should automatically ask you if you want to update. Confirm the update and it will do the flash automaticly and keep all your data as well.
For Samsung Kies:

hey man from the post there i see that you have the cm9 kernel installed over the stock Gingerbread ROM(Correct me if im wrong)!
So as far as i know you will fall under the first category because the eMMC_ERASE function has been disabled in the cm9 knightlies kernel. But just download chainfires app called "gotbrick?" to check if you have the bug. If you dont have the bug thenyou can do a wipe from any ROM/kernel and directly flash the new firmware.
And yes you will get SNote and the Touchwiz with the new firmware preinstalled.

Why wipe at all when upgrading form stock f/w?
I updated my Note from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 (to speedmod K3-7 via CWM) to 4.0.4 all without a single wipe. Didn't experience any problems.

Thnx for reply. I am not too experienced, but i think yes, i have CM9 installed over stock GB. So i am runing ICS, but first category goes for GB, does it realy is my case? I have checked gotbrick app and it said that i have that nasty bug. But i have still done some factory resets and wipes and so far so good, as i understand that because of safe kernel. So i am still in danger but in kernel the use of mmc has been disabled, if i follow the guide isnt the 3d category safer? Because its careful about brickbug?

sorry I'm wrong post

How to Flash Android 4.0.4 Firmware for Galaxy Note GT N7000
This Tutorial is Divided into 3 Parts:
1) People who are running Gingerbread who are not affected by the eMMC bug
2) People who are running IceCreamSandwitch who dont have the eMMC bug
3) People who are running IceCreamSandwitch who have the eMMC bug
Please Find Your Respective Section in the tutorial below!
For Current Gingerbread Users
Since Gingerbread is safe from the eMMC superbrick bug, you can directly go ahead and do a complete factory reset/wipe and clear cashe either from settings>privacy>factory reset OR via stock recovery. After the factory reset/wipe, you need to download the "zip" file from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html
After the download is complete, open the zip file using WINRAR and you will see two files:
• A “.md5” file
• A “.dll” file
Unextract both to folder/desktop. Now you need to download ODIN and samsung drivers if you do not have them. For ODIN just download from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
For drivers just download & install the samsung kies from here:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
After installing Kies you will have the drivers installed.(you may need restart for drivers to work) Then you will need to put your phone in download mode(Volume Down + Home + Power Button) and then press volume up to continue to enter the download mode. Then connect your Galaxy Note to PC using MicroUSB cable and open ODIN. In ODIN make sure that the box has turned yellow for this to work. If it does not then there is problem with the drives. You then need to select the PDA button and navigate to the ".md5" file that you unextracted and select it. Make sure only "Auto Reboot" & "F. Reset Time" are checked and then you can hit the start button. It should then start flashing. After flashing is done a box should turn green and the phone will automatically reboot. Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
For Current IceCreamSandwitch(4.0.3) Users who DON’T have eMMC brickbug
First please check whether your device has the eMMC brick bug via chainfires app called “GotBrick?” If your device does not have the brick bug then simply factory reset it via settings and then you can download the Android download the "zip" file from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html

For Current IceCreamSandwitch(4.0.3) Users who have eMMC brickbug
First please check whether your device has the eMMC brick bug via chainfires app called “GotBrick?” If your device has the brick bug then you cannot do a factory reset and directly install the new 4.0.4 firmware. You will first need to downgrade to a Gingerbread Firmware, then do a complete factory reset/wipe and clear cashe and then reflash the Android 4.0.4 firmware. So the first thing you need to do is download the Gingerbread Firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=1#regiona
(You will need to signup to download)
For Samsung Kies with drivers:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
For ODIN:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
After you have downloaded the zip file, unextract it and then flash the “.md5” in the PDA section of ODIN.
After flash you will have Gingerbread. In Gingerbread you have to do a wipe & clear cashe from the stock recovery(Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button). After the wipe, you need to download the Android 4.0.4 Firmware from here:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html
After the download is complete, open the zip file using WINRAR and you will see two files:

What do you mean by 4.0.4 international? Also I think this is slightly OT, better ask in the main 4.0.4 open Germany thread.

As I understand, you have to be rooted to flash a ROM from GB to any other ROM using Odin, but your tutorial doesn't mention the need to be rooted. Am I mistaken?
Criskelo ICS LQ3 v8, LPT Modem, speedmod 3-7 kernel, Carrier: AT&T (US)

I'm at the 3rd section...but why flash gb rom??? You only need flash abyss kernel and do the wipes, and then continue to flash 4.0.4
Am i right or not?

thats kinda wierd man! performance seems to have improved for me. cant really say if something went wrong!!! but if you want to go back to your 4.0.3 firmware then you can easily flash the 4.0.3 firmware via ODIN. To get the 4.0.3 fimrmware goto: www.samfirmware.com>firmwares>smartphones>android>GT N7000>(ur region)> and download the firmware for your region/country.
After download just unextract the .md5 file and flash via ODIN.

Does it have the same interface as Samsung Galaxy SIII ICS 4.0.4? I have done the upgrade but not much features change except the pop-up play..thats all .What a letdown!

Galaxy S3 i9300 Unbrick [restore to stock rom] [noobs][easy]

Hi guys! This is a noob-proof guide on how to flash stock samsung firmware on your i9300. Whether you have bricked it or just want the stock firmware back. Here's how to do it (detailed explaination)
WARNING! : This is only for the GT i9300 (international version) , Check your device before proceeding. Also you might lose all your data. So backup! i am not responsible if you brick your phone(although very unlikely) by not following the guide properly
Also you will lose your custom recovery, Custom ROM and will not longer have root
Ok lets begin!
1. Make sure you have the samsung drivers installed on your pc (http://bit.ly/SDaIIE)
2. Your device should have at least 80% battery left
3. Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings>Developer Options>Tick the Usb debugging tick box!
Files needed :
1. Android 4.1.2 I9300XXEMC3 for Galaxy S3 I9300 - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/202240205/4dcf384/I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_NEE.zip.html
2. Odin 3.07 - http://bit.ly/16aRzF4
Extract The firmware Zip file until you get a file with a .tar extension and some other files. Do not extract furthur
Extract odin zip file till you get Odin3 v3.07.exe
Now here comes the actual flashing part
1. Power off your smartphone. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
2. Now, get into Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power button simultaneously until Samsung Galaxy logo appears in phone screen. Wait few seconds and your phone will be in download mode.
3.Open odin as administrator and connect your s3 to your computer with usb cable
4. You will get a message "Added" in the message box in odin and You should also see COM port with a number in Yellow if you successfully added your device.
if you don't get this , try another usb port.. if it still doesn't come , reinstall drivers.
5. Select these files from I9300XXEMC3 folder in Odin at respective buttons:
Click the PDA Button, and select the .tar.md5 file here with *code* appearing in its name
Click the Phone Button, and select file with *modem* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the CSC Button, and select file with *csc* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the PIT Button, and select the .pit file. Use only if you got it while extracting , otherwise ignore it.
6. make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected. Also, make sure that Re-Partition checkbox is selected, only if you are using a .pit file
7. Double check everything above and hit start!
8. once flashing is complete the phone will reboot automatically and soon you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can then unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.
After completing these steps, Make sure to wipe the cache and do a factory reset in clockworkmod recovery if you do happen to find yourself in a bootloop (phone rebooting continuously) Or just do it anyways to prevent a bootloop from occurring.
congrats! , you have just restored your i9300!
If this has helped you make sure to hit the thanks button!

Yes and no... You must reformat partitions and upload an ICS bootloader. Not for the regular user i'm afraid

This normally happens when the partitions on the embedded multi media card gets corrupted for whatever reason, also known as the emmc.
The phone can be revived by flashing a pit file to repartition the emmc in order so it can be written to.
Download and unzip this file and you will have a .pit file which you put in the tab marked PIT in Odin
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit = Galaxy S3 of 16 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit = Galaxy S3 of 32 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit = Galaxy S3 of 64 Gb
(Just google the one that you need and download it)
Next make sure > r partition, f /reset, and auto reboot are ticked in options in Odin.
Next put the stock rom in the tab marked PDA, if flashing a custom rom then flash a rooted kernel first in PDA together with the pit file, hit start and start the flashing process, afterwards this will also give you the option of flashing the rom from recovery, next, flash the custom rom from Odin or from recovery
When finished the phone should reboot and start up.

If it is an official ROM package, it shouldn't trigger yellow triangle.
Even in that case, you can use Triangle Away app from Chainfire and see how it comes to zero

EXACTLY, Ho coulld you do that when you have a bricked phone.

it doesn't matter if you can do it - it's as useless as changing the wallpaper before flashing
