Have some merci , i'm new here .
Greetings ,alex
If i can , i wanna know how . Thanks
install Samsung Kies on your computer & connect your device via usb-cable with it... then Kies will answer your question
just did that , and samsung kies said : you cannot upgrade your firmware via kies . On short
anyone else?
Im not sure if rooting disables updating via kies..

you have two options:
1. Wait for official firmware update to 4.1.2 for romania.
2. make a complete backup with cwm recovery & try an UK or other 4.1.2 firmware ..... but i don´t recommend it because of baseband differences...
I dont know what changes 4.1.2 brought accept bugfixes, but im kinda dissapointed that they removed water lockscreen and if i got mine on 4.1.1 i think i wouldnt update it until we get 4.2

Why don't you try South East Europe ROM,or generic? Check sammobile, there's plenty of ROM `s. Just make sure you have the correct ROM (if you have 8190N you need ROM with N). I just flashed latest 4.1.2 (BTU) as wanted `` clean `` stock ROM and so far very impressed...

there's no 4.1.2 for south europe , only for 6 countries ( United Kingdom not included )

BTU is UK. Anyway, you have nothing to lose. So give it a try. Do hard reset before and after flashing. Mine is 8190NXXALL6.

We are still waiting for BTU 4.1.2 non N version ,you are lucky because you got NFC BTU firmware.

Why you want root? Give it a few days to see if there's need to modify something.

I flashed my firmware and samsung kies doesnt read it so I cant update my phone.
Running on 2.2.1
PDA : I9003DDKB2
PHONE : I9003ZTKB1
CSC : I9003ZZTKC1
I noticed I cant play some games either, and my phone tends to freeze at times
Whats a good firmware I can flash too that samsung kies would read.
Thanks.

There is no no indian firmware available that kies can update to, but u can flash european xxkb3, which is a lot less buggy.

Na, the PDA is Indian, but he is using Traditional Chinese area modem and CSC file. I think he better go samfirmware and get I9003ZTKC1 or so.
Just my 2 cents.
Dude nothing to worry just flash your phone with xxkb3 f.w

I have tried it and it screwed up with Asia type modem/CSC.
If there is a work around, please let me know.

Yes mate, thats what i did :good:
You will not get ota's unless you do a full wipe so the csc will change to Germany

Hi all, just as a confirmation to me being very new to this :
Using odin to flash this ee rom will still allow my device to get OTAs with the assumption that a full wipe has taken place.
Is the above correct?
Thanks a lot for your time

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100642
And after that try to flash indian JB.
Not sure if it will fix it, but you can try.
Or you can use Indian JB firmware which is ddulp8. Either way using other region firmwares doesn't really effect anything except some cases of xxlqg(lux..I think) have problem when roaming and old china firmware which causes hardbrick.
