Many of us are messed up with GS3 reception, cause of flashing wrong region modem or CSC.
Here is how to find and install factory installed firmware for Samsung galaxy S3 using samsung kies.
In Kies tab tools click firmware upgrade and initialisation.
Enter S/N and model name which is GT-I9300 all in capital letter.
Kies will tell you the original PDA, PHONE, CSC (region code) of your phone
Then its upto u if you want to install
via odin - download manually from samsung update website according to region code
Otherwise agree with the term and conditions of kies and follow instructions...
put the GS3 in downloading mode and connect to the computer with usb cable.
Kies will download and install the firmware and reboot the phone when its done.
That's useful info

Thanks for pointing this out. I installed a few others and never once did I realize what my own was. Mainly because this is the first phone that I event had that has multi versions of stock for the same phone

Nope, after clicking on FW and Initialisation tools tab in KIES(2.3.2.12074_13), the only thing that happens is that it shouts that GT-I9300 does NOT support initialization. Game over!

Hahaha my bad, sorry, thanks a lot for the advice - my phone was connected:silly:! But had no luck anyway - after inserting the required info(S/N and MODEL as per the sticker under the battery) and submitting it, KIES shouts to check the S/N and enter it again! And after 3 tries it said the provided info can not be verified and to contact service center!

Just check your S/N again if you have O alphabet in it try 0 z(zero) instead, that's what happen to me cause they look exactly the same and all letters should be in capital.

Just extract Odin folder and keep the odin3.ini file in it.
How to USE ODIN in SECOND POST
3. Download your 2.3.4 Firmware ( or any other firmware you wish to flash)
a) Download Link Stock XXKG1 : http://www.multiupload.com/2EMBQMYF4V (via ficeto) or If you can find other links
and Extract It > you should have four files:
b) CODE_I9100XXKG1_CL349526_REV02_user_low_ship (goes into PDA section)
GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG1 (Goes into CSC section)
MODEM_I9100XXKG1_REV_02_CL1034110 (Goes into Phone section)
u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit (not required)
4. Open ODIN and put the files in the respective TABS > Do not change (tick or untick any other boxes) read the second post by intratech

ORIGINAL POSTS, OFFICIAL FIRMWARES and CARRIER FIRMWARES HERE
Thanks to - INTRATECH,TANMAY,FICETO and the DEVS CONCERNED
PS : If I have missed out anything let me Know and I will update
INTRATECHS GUIDE TO FLASHING WITH ODIN - Scroll Down to see the screen shots in HIS POST
Flashing Firmware with Odin
1. Just download the firmware version you want from above and extract the .tar file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Should look like this screenshot
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/5705/odinm.jpg
If the package has 3 files it should look like this:
http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/8290/odinxm.jpg
Regardless of firmware version it's still the same methodology
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
7. Click start to flash
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes.
It will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended
Will I loose all my data and programs?
let me be the first to thank you
i am coming from iphone4 so all these terms and apps are new to me, and while i can use the search function a lot of times it takes several pages of read-thru to piece together what you have put in 1 concise post
btw i love the SG2 and android platform, steve jobs can toss my salad
If you flash any 2.3.3 you don't seem to loose any data... but yeah updating to 2.3.4 you do loose data and programs.
I didn't have many programs, but market restored most of them from me, and good to backup first.
Also kies gives me that I can't update firmware maybe cause its the latest one and it don't recognise the firmware.
Please be aware this is a leaked version, so if you want you could wait for the official one, I so far had no problems whatsoever
Just one noob question, SII being my first android phone, i assume that in order not to lose warranty you still have to use USB jig to reset rom counter if something bad happens, right ?

Sorry I have no clue about that But I guess you could always flash the carrier branded firmware from INTRATECH's posts.. links in my first post as well.
I guess it only applies if you root your phone (I could be wrong).

If you are using stock kernel there is no counting in custom binary,so no problem with your warranty.You can check your counter if you go to download mode.By the way usb jig is always usefull.

Is it possible to use another CSC from older stock releases together with this? ie, flashing this, and then after that flashing the multi CSC "MultiCSC OXXKF1" for instance? The reason im asking is that ppl have reported this rom to not include the nordic keyboard's for swype etc, and thats sort of a gamebreaker for me.

tanx so much!!!..i`m downloading...keep it up bro
There is one thing I don't understand how to do. Before I flash my firmware with the new 2.3.4 version, I would like to take a copy of my existing firmware from my phone first and save it to my PC. So that I have the option of putting my phone back to how it was if for some reason I want to revert my phone. I understand that I would need to buy a jig to reset the update counter.
So is it possible to save my existing firmware to my PC first?
I did try looking at the download page but there were so many different countries and carrier versions that I found it confusing. I am stock KF3 uk unbranded O2 still running 2.3.3
Thanks
Thank you tfn. Great instructions, I am loving the new update.
So yesterday when AT&T announced 50% off of smartphones I was pretty dumbfounded since I got a brand new S4 the day before. But the day I got it I rooted it and did all the other stuff. I will return my S4 for a new one but it's impossible for me to unroot. Everything I've done doesn't seem to work. I used Odin but it stops at the "Get PIT for mapping" stage. I tried deleting SuperSU but that didn't work. It made things worse because it said I'm not rooted but I still am. Now I can't even go to recovery. And I can't even connect to Kies. Can anyone help me unroot my device or help me be able to return my device when it's rooted?

I would think the tools section of Kies will have an option that will work. Connection trouble shoot first then emergency recovery. If your phone boots, you should be able to reset it to out of the box state.
If it's still rooted, try triangle away app.
If you go to settings, more, about device, build number, then tap on build number repeatedly it will restore developer options, if it's not shown now. From there you can enable or disable USB debugging. That might help with Odin. Wish I had more answers for ya.
Also try settings, accounts, backup and reset, factory data reset.

Do you know how to enter the download mode? If so then odin should recognize it. I think it's "hold the power button, down volume, and home button" till it instructs you to let got and hit the up volume button. The connect it to the pc for odin.

Yes I'm trying the Odin process. It's working so far except it stops at "Get PIT for mapping..." which is here i.imgur.com/z8fnjRd (add png to the end)
Kies is not recognizing my device after troubleshoot. It is stuck at "Connecting..." which prevents me from emergency firmware recovery.
There are two options that will help me the most:
Connecting to Kies and getting a PIT file for Odin

Is your phone a US AT&T model I337? There is a stock recovery rom in this forum somewhere, it's a zip file when extracted it will have a tar.MD5 file for use with odin. Or maybe you should use the PDA selection in odin, and uncheck the reboot box.

Why don't you just call cs and get credit for the difference instead of returning it. You're going to get another s4 anyways.

Everyone I now know what I really want to do. I want to flash the stock ROM. But this is impossible with http://i.imgur.com/z8fnjRd.png "Get PIT for mapping" is stopping me, which is very frustrating.
Just throwing out some ideas. Try a different cable if you got another one. Try plugging into a usb port in back of computer. You could try to re download the file again using a different mirror. Could just be a bad download. Anyways good luck.

How are you trying to get to recovery?
Try pull the battery if having trouble, wait a few minutes then put it back.
Then hold power, volume up & home until Note 4 screen comes up. Wait about 4 seconds then let go of the buttons. That should work

after like 20 tries to flash with odin it finally passes(dunno why. nothing changed the last 5 tries... and odin tooks about 1h for the flash..)
finally their i decided to add some lines in the build.prop to tweak the ram management -.-
so heres where the **** begins. The device bootlooped, so i downloaded the firmware for my device nummer with the vodafone branding and tried to flash it.
it fails and the phone gets some kind of bricket i get a message i need to emergency firmware recovery with some kind of samsung crap software, which doesnt support my device(neither kies 3).
good thing i can still enter the download mode but when i try to flash, odin stucks at setupconnection or iniialazion or get pit mapping or sboot.bin or cm.bin in this momen at boot.img .. just somewhere everytime.
I already deleted kies and tried all my ports.
any ideas??

Have you tried KEIS on another machine?

I would be tempted to take it back to where you got it and ask them to replace it... its up to you if you say it was because you were trying to root it or not...
If it t'were me I would blame an Update or App Corruption - though I am a gifted linguist (read: Bull****ter) and can normally get things sorted, your average shop employee wont know enough about rooting (hopefully) or KNOX (hopefully) so they will just replace it.
But thats not a Guarantee (as with all changes you make its your device and your responsibility if it goes wrong, warranty void etc etc etc)
I'm hopeful you are able to get this sorted and keep us posted if its replaced etc
Ok so I'm not sure where to put this thread and please forgive my bad grammar and punctuation if I have any. I already read some threads on this forum about a problem like mine and tried to follow the instructions to get back into my phone, but none of it worked so....
I have a Samsung Go Prime that I bought from Wal-Mart for around $100. I rooted it, and got the message "unauthorized software has been found on your phone, please take it to nearest AT&T etc etc". So I did just that, took it to AT&T, called up Samsung customer care on the phone, and took the phone to some sort of Samsung representative or worker person in Best Buy and nobody seems to be able to help me. I downloaded Odin and Philz Touch and tried to flash that and I kept getting Nand fail. I tried Kies and evidently Sammobile website doesn't seem to have the firmware I need either.
Somebody plleeeaassee help me. I had to pay another $100 just to get another phone so now I feel like I wasted $100 for a phone that wont work now. Maybe I didn't use Odin or Philz Touch firmware properly or didn't follow a certain instruction correctly at some point?
Any help would be massively appreciated.

I tried that and after clicking for it to start it again said something like "please check the serial number" etc like I put in the incorrect number. I'm pretty sure what I put in was the correct serial number. It was on the sticker under the battery....
model: SM-G530A
SN: R28H30GVPCN
I'm pretty sure your phone is bricked, nand fail was the superbrick error on the i9100 (Galaxy S2 Int) if I'm remembering correctly.
If I'm right, sorry man :/
Anybody know how to fix the nand fail? Anything I can flash to fix it?
When I tried to flash Philz Touch I read in one of the threads that I had to do something like putting the file in some kind of folder (might have been called tar tool) and click a certain batch.bat file. i tried that and nothing happened, so I just loaded the Philz Touch file directly into Odin.
Did I make a mistake somewhere? Is there anything at all that I can do to fix this? If not, then how and where would I find the contact info and address of the manufacturer so I can send the phone in for fixing?
