Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me????
I'm from Spain and i found a firmware from samfirmware "XWKTN" ,on the countries i saw spain,so i flashed XWKTN from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551586 cause it 100%safe
After that Everything went well but everytime i turn off my phone, when i turn it on
it takes alot of time to reboot
and my phone is lock from a network Movistar
help please....
hEY
Hey dude.. i dunno much but if you go to sammobile you'll see the network lock option there you can unlock the network thing from there
if it doesn't work then flash a new firmware and for the slow loading problem install startup manager and unchecked the items you don't want to load from startup..
hope it helps..
Hi, did you wipe before flashing ?

hmmm jvkt1 was my previous firmware
Samfirmware lists 2 rom with JTK1 code, for Morocco and for Turkey......
anyway .....
I use the same firmware and I have no particular problems to boot, but I flashed the full version.
The only thing that comes to mind is related to the fact that you used the firmware without the bootloader ..... maybe something did not work well ....
Did you wipe before flashing ?
I guess there are a lot of cache files to be loaded everytime..
And that usually happens with Stock ROMS..
just flash a custom ROM dude..
increase the phone's performance..
android phones are made for this..
Maybe your firmware you used have something promblem with your previsious boot loader file.
try to reflash your phone with full version firmware or you can use one package of firmware XWKTN.
Sorry for my bad english

If there were any problems with boot-loaders, the phone wouldn't have turned on at all right??
it would've created bot-loops
Try do reflashing with other firmware. If the device works well with other firmware, then reflashing again with XWKTN. It should be works fine too.
The device bootloop? Just do wipe data / cache in recovery mode.

When the Galaxy siii got an update to 4.1.2 I flashed my Galaxy S3 I9305 LTE To Android 4.1.2 XXELKC trying to put on ofhe one done by audism. Now Im trying to put on official 4.1.2 firmware. I downloaded it and tried to flash it. It didnt work. Any help would be appreciated
we'll need a bit more info.. how are you trying to flash it? what file did you download (filename)
1. Install Samsung Kies
2. Reset flash counter with Triangle Away
3. Update device using Lies
DONE!
Well I am probably forgetting something but they are the basics
Also OTA updates requires an 'official' phone status rather than 'modified' so make sure to reset the flash counter if you ever want to use OTA

Hi,
I bought my phone from eBay and it seems to be Hong Kong based (I9305ZHALI2, build number I9305ZHBLJ1).
I found and downloaded 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=8156
It is now on my phone's external sd card as tar.md5 file. I also rooted my phone using ExynosAbuse: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
I have a Mac and so cannot use the Odin, but it seems that MobileOdin should do the trick, if I just flash the firmware using the downloaded firmware.
Am I correct in thinking these are the steps to install this update?:
1. Buy mobile odin pro
2. Flash the firmware without wiping data. I read that wiping data while updating official rom could brick my phone.
3. If I want to be able to get OTA updates in the future, should I leave the root options in mobile odin unticked? Or just update all future firmwares using the same method?
Thanks!
EDIT: I flashed the rom using mobile odin lite and it went ok, but the firmware was the same I already had, 4.1.1. So it seems that sammobile has a wrong version number on their website. Damn.

Okay so I downloaded the official firmware off Sammobile firmware: GT-I9305 Hong Kong 2012 November Android 4.1.2 I9305ZHBLJ1 I9305TGYBLJ1
And then I tried to flash it via recovery mode. It kept coming up E: Can't open /sdcard/I9305ZHBLJ1_I9305TGYBLJ1_TGY.zip(bad). This was using clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.9. I tried extracting it but it only came up with 2 files and I didnt want to risk it. I want an unrooted version of 4.1.2 thats official.
You must unzip the File and flash the unzipped file via odin3!

hi i want to update my gt-i9305 network ee-orange running 4.1.1 i had notification in kies wen i linked phone to upgrade firmware, the problem is my computer hasnt got the specs needed to use kies, IS THERE ANY ALTERNITIVE METHODS?? i want 4.1.2
They are only recommended specs that Kies should run flawlessly at so I advise using Kies still
If I am not mistaken 4.1.2 official hasn't been push out by out on most carriers if any at all so it may mean modem firmware in which you should always update, well if you want optimum network performance anyway

maybee ? Why don't you upgrade it on microsoft site or windows update ?
Or flashing an official firmware via Odin (and reading tutorials) might work just fine, if you get the firmware file (not allowed yet to post external links sorry)
The .net framework isnt a hardware spec but should actually come pre-installed Vista and up but just google it and install! It may also be on windows update

Try Emergency Firmware restore on Kies. If that is not successful then I guess you could flash CWM (non touch edition) and then try find a way to reset your flash counter in recovery or download mode then warranty it. If not then you will have to pay up, $210 here in Aus to get screen/digitalizer/frame repaired (built together) at a Samsung place & that also renews your warrenty

To reset the binary in download mode you need a USB jig (search to buy one online) or here is a guide for a DIY one:

USB jig won't reset binary counter on i9305..... You need to install stock ROM & kernel and after that use new version of TA (Triangle Away)... Job done.

I don't think there is any Non-Touch version of TA.... unlucky
Edited:
since your phone is running stock ROM&kernel you can try USB jig, that's the Only thing left to try to get back your warranty. In my case jig won't reset counter but I'm using Custom ROM .... Can't remember how was it on stock. TA works for sure but must be installed first, you can't use your screen so jig is your last chance. ..

Try this rom, you need to do it from a PC, set in download mode then use Odin to flash the rom.
This will then put it back to stock with no increase in the binary count.

Guys do you really think Samsung cares? I mean I had an Asus Transformer Prime with an unlocked boot loader. When unlocking it clearly stated the warranty is voided. A few months later my battery died and I sent it in as it was and they fixed it. I even told them it was unlocked and they fixed it.
I then heard and read somewhere that the warranty is lost to software related issues not hardware.
But oh well he reset it already. I only reset to get stock stock updates because I get bored sometimes!!

You do realise that if for example your phone had TMobile ROM on it it will download the TMobile ROM in that tutorial. I have done it myself. I am with Telstra (in Australia) and I followed that tutorial and as soon as I flashed the ROM I downloaded I saw the Telstra splashscreen.

All I'm saying is that I followed the tutorial word for word and VipeR lx is right when he clarified things up that if your XZ is branded you would still get the downloaded ROM branded, just like what happened to me. Luckily there's a unbranded ROM for Australia which made it possible for me to de-brand my XZ. I do have the Telstra ROM saved so if ever I had to send it away for warranty repairs I can always flash the Telstra ROM back.
Me too. I used the update services software to download. After downloading the file and flashing with flash tool, there is no indication that this firmware is linked to any Telco.
Maybe if someone can flash and report?

Strange, bro.
Did you even manage to get into the setup? 5 steps to setting up your phone? I had that demo video. but after setting up the phone, all is well.
I had tried this firmware a few times after installing ROMs that are based on the 434, as somehow, I lose 3G with these ROMs. I couldn't even root the phone with the method described.
So I flashed back to the stock 350 firmware and root the phone and install the CWM recovery in the phone again.

U did flash with flash tool and not recovery right? If you do flash with flash tool, all data is lost.
I think this is unbranded as the apps from M1 which I got this phone from is not present in the FTF after flashing with flash tool.

Who knows maybe the M1 apps in your phone was not integrated to the ROM and it was only installed on top. I can't really tell. I just know that when I did the tutorial I still got the Telstra ROM.
Also using the Flashtool you have a choice of wiping data if you don't untick the boxes before you flash.
EDIT:
There is the
(FTF) C6603 10.1.A.434 Cust ID 1270-1412_R6A Singapore available in that thread. The handset apparently is from M1 so I'm not sure if it's branded or not.

Thanks for the info on flash tool! Always thought u had to lose data when flashing with flash tool.
Downloaded the ftf using updates services, then it should be unbranded, right? Do u suggest I remove this thread then? Thanks!

No don't remove the thread. If you didn't get M1 apps after following that tutorial then the M! apps must have been installed on top of the ROM that's probably why you never got any M! apps when you reflash.
Keep this thread it's always a contribution that you made and plenty of people will have use for it.

I think this is unbranded as the apps from M1 which I got this phone from is not present in the FTF after flashing with flash tool.

I flashed with flashtool and there is option not to wipe.
This firmware is confirmed not the generic as I have seen this SI/CDA number in the demo set. Retail sets (so far I've seen) begins with 1270, but if you notice this begins with 1272. Moreover, none of the retail sets will run the "demo" video when you start your phone and worst is that it won't let your phone to switch off the screen.
I don't know how you ended up with this firmware on your handset!

Not sure, Bro. But all I could say was I followed the tutorial and got the FTF file which I had been using a couple of times without issues.

Alright I am new to the XZ, i use to have the X Play a long time ago, but havent messed with BL unlock, flashing, rooting or anything in awhile. I had a question, if i unbrand my TMobile XZ to an unbranded version, will i then be able to unlock my BL? Or does that remain unlockable regardless?
Hi before you do anything make sure to perform a backup of your DRMs via Backup TA. Then you are free to do whatever you want.

Hey guys, little bit of a problem, hope you have some ideas.
Basically, My phone has decided it wont be charging anymore, the battery charges fine in my wifes N7000, used 3/4 different charges, all work fine with hers, none which work with mine, looking inside the charging port, it appears to a little burned, theres an area which is quite black inside the port.
So, the phone is rooted and running a lightweight LSZ leak, its not returnable to samsung (and likely, my insurer) in this condition, problem is, if the phone isnt connect via USB, I wont be able to flash an official firmware via ODIN to remove the rootage.
Is it possible for me to perhaps flash an older firmware through CMW and then try and update OTA to remove root, or, am i destined to charge my battery from my missus' phone from now on?
Many thanks!
if you rooted why not use mobile odin to flash a stock firmware..

Yes
Edit: also read thoroughly as you already have the link there are few things you would require to install for the lite version.
Under default settings of mobile odin, it will remove root. But before you go about uprooting, make sure your counter is set to 0. If no then you will need to use triangle away app and it will need root access.

Thanks guys, I already run the triangle remover when i first rooted my phone and the counter is still at 0, plus i am rooted. i notice in the instructions there is some flash kernels, will I need to flash this first via CWM before using mobile odin or will Philz kernel be fine for me?

It is an apk file.
I think for the lite version you will need to download the odin flash kernel first. Just follow the instructions. The paid version automatically downloads it.
Thanks again guys, one final question then, if you was returning your note to the Samsung centre would you use the kies GB, ICS or JB official ROM? Considering making it the JB, what do you think?

you can take it to service center with JB or any of 2 older versions, does not matter.
Edit:as long as firmware is for you country and samsung has released Jelly Bean in your country.
Luckily the Netherlands has LSZ so that's what I'm going for tonight, thanks for the help gents!
