soft brick. deleted android off. bootloop - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hey guys
The Title basically sum up whats happen. i was trying to up my android to a newer version and regrettably i formatted android off the whole thing. i know i have to flash the old software back on. but im not too sure what that software is nor where i can find it. My Samsung galaxy s3 is i9305. i think my baseband is xxbll5. but i cant find much on that type of model which makes me think its not that one.. the phones from Australia and its contracted to Optus, if that helps.

Choose your firmware from sammobile or samsung-updates .
Baseband is modem not firmware .
Australia T model ???

Im from Brazil, my model is a i9305T too. But actually im using a i9305 4.3 rom and no problems so far. I cant say about 4g though, cause we actually don't have it, but i believe you can flash a i9305 rom without bloatware with a telstra baseband/modem

Can I flash a different region firmware on my international note?

I have a galaxy note with italian baseband. My question is can I flash it with another region's firmware (asian firmware)?
Yes you can!
Yes.You can always flash any region firmwares on your phone.But the firmware should belong to your phone model.i.e N-7000 firmwares on N-7000,and I-917 firmwares on I-917.Which means firmwares are devices specific and not region specific
If you cant understand any of the above,the exact answer for your question is yes you can
would this affect my warranty? & flash count? and another question could i directly flash with an older firmware, im currently on 2.3.6 i was wondering if i could flash 2.3.5?

1.It wont affect warrant as long as you are in stock firmware.But if you have a network locked device I'm not sure because I have no network locked device in my region.If you have international unlocked note,you are 100% covered by warranty as long as its stock
2.Stock roms dont increase counter.Only custom roms do
3.You can flash any GB rom when you are in GB(to make it simple IMO)
Does this also apply to other devices?
That it is possible to use different firmwares.
(in this particular case LG optimus black p970)
Yup

Yes you can. You can us Odin for PC to do it. Do some searching on the n7000 forums and you will find all the necessary files and flashing tools.
I recommend checking out this excellent thread by Dr. Ketan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
It explains everything in detail so you should be good to go if you read through it properly.
Hope this helped and good luck!

[Q] New S3 LTE, Do I flash this Rom

Picked up a Titanium Grey S3 LTE today after trading mine in.. Only paid an extra £40 for a BNIB one.. dont think they knew what they were selling hehe
Anyway, am I right in thinking that I flash these roms now?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1...ode=0#firmware
But flash it in the same way as a 9300, with ODIN 304 and samsung drivers.
Thanks
Just checked up, It is exactly the same process.. an S3 LTE is just an S3 with an added 4G circuit and antenna and 2GB of ram.. so yeah.. its flashed through ODIN the same.

Just don't flash the wrong firmware (NO I9300 firmware , ONLY LTE ones), and be sure you got a I9305 and not I9305N or I9305T.

I flashed an EE UK modem.bin this morning after extracting it from the Orange UK LTE rom, so you gotto really watch for that.. or its a one way trip to brick, but thats something I make a point of when Im looking on here or samfirmware, so thanks for the reminder. Appreciated
Cheers
flashing a wrong modem isn't a "one way trip to brick", relax. the only things that can lead to it are flashing a wrong bootloader, recovery, or losing EFS
Just out of curiosity and maybe to help others be more aware...
When I checked I thought there was only one variant of the S3 LTE, didnt realise there was the T and the N.. but are these region differences such as N-North america or T-Thailand
So a 9305N or 9305T rom would brick a I9305 International device.

I have the same phone, GT-9305T from Vodaphone & flashed the Galaxyrom ver 4.1.2. Had problems with an earlier Galaxyrom 4.3, Ver 12.1 but Camera app has problem There are fixes available but haven't tried yet. Will try again with later release but for the moment I'm happy with 4.1.2.
Everything works & Aussie Developer so feel more confident that the rom will fit aussie phones.

[Q] No network on new I9305

I just bought my second I9305 (first one was stolen) and it doesn’t connect to any network band. It is the same International model I had before that worked perfectly. I’m not sure if it has some country code limitation, but the frequencies and bands should be the right ones.
The phone is stock version. Baseband version XXUEMK1.
I’m not sure if I should flash to another Baseband. My cellular service provider works LTE at 1800 frequency and Band 3.
Any clues about what I should do?
Thanks

Hi,
Which is your stock firmware version JB 4.1.2 ? JB 4.3, or ?
Rooted or not ?
If you want to be sure your phone is OK, just reflash via ODIN your stock firmware from your country (and if you want from your carrier), it includes PDA, CSC and MODEM . Be sure your phone is an internationnal model i9305 and download your firmware HERE or HERE. I recommand this GUIDE from MaHo_66 xda member.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure where to find these JB numbers tou are asking. The BuIld number is JSS15J.19305XXUEMKC. In Kies appears: PDA: MKC, Phone:MK1, CSC:MK2 (VDI).
The list of firmwares in the Samsung Updates page doesn't have the specific country/carrier I use. How do I know which one is equivalent?

I've made some googling but I didn't found which modem version you have to use. I guess you have to find a latin america modem version but it has to be compatible with your current Android 4.3 build.
Did you previous stolen i9305 was running Android 4.3 as well ?
Do you know some ways to remember which versions you had on your previous phone ? Do you know someone else with the same phone ?

Sadly I don't have this information. I only remember that it was a German version. I do have a couple of friends that have the Samsung 4 LTE in my same carrier.
One is: I9055XXUEMK8, the other friend has I905VJUGNE2.
Hope this helps to find out the best version for my Samsung 3.

So try do a clean install by wiping all and flash latest build I9305XXUEML9 from italy (TIM) with Odin. It's Android 4.3 like you currently have.
You can grab it here for exemple : http://samsung-updates.com/details/24460/Galaxy_S_3_LTE/GT-I9305/TIM/I9305XXUEML9.html
Follow MaHo_66 guide.
Don't forget to backup.
I hope it will do the trick.
Hi,hbergold,why not flash the version firmware 4.4.4 Stock.Here you have two versions of 4.4.4:http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305 So you would be clear if the problem is the modem.I use the version DBT Poland, I live in Spain and everything works great.Version 4.4.4 also includes again the possibility of entering service mode and choose the bands.You can flash it with Odin.Pasate por aqui:http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=920004

Gracias viktorak, but does this modem work with LTE band 3 (1800) ?
I can`t confirm, but with the the Service Mode you can force the band you will.Have you read the post I linked?Your partner, also from Venezuala wanted to force the band 5 -3G, and according to reported- it works.Then,using Service Mode you can force the band you will.
You need to first install the 4.4.4 Rom and then if it doesn`t work normally use Service mode.

@hbergold, about KNOX, you told me you have an Android 4.3 build, so if it's an official one, you already have a KNOX bootloader (the one from sammy Android 4.3).
About bootloaders:
- if you ever flash 4.3 or 4.4 via Odin or updated from OTA you have new Bootloader from android 4.3 or from 4.4.4.
- if you bought your device and you dont know what bootloader you have, turn off your phone,reboot to download mode (hold power + volume down +home buttons) and when is there Knox flag 0x1 you have new bootloader and you are warranty off. When Knox flag is there 0x0 you have also new bootloader, but you are still in warranty and when you'll flash any custom recovery or unofficial firmware via Odin, you'll have then Knox 0x1 and you will be warranty off - so it's on your deciding. When isn't in download mode any records about about Knox, you still have old bootloader (from android 4.1.2).
- since the new sammy Android 4.4.4 bootloader, now there is also a line in blue color saying ´´SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLED''
About @MaHo_66 's opinion, please read here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56506775&postcount=12. I hope he will not find any problem of sharing his post
I also recommand to upgrade to an Android 4.4.4 build but it's your choice and it depends on what you want to do with your phone (install custom ROM or not = warranty stuffs / if you want to sell the phone later, ....). Also I think you will not be able to flash any older official build (Android 4.1.2 or 4.3) if you upgrade to 4.4.4 because of the bootloader. I recommand it mainly because there is no more this random ******* stuck mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock issue appeared since sammy Android 4.3 and which was a big problem for battery life. And also because it's smoother and faster.
I hope for you that @viktorak service mode trick will work for you if you decide to upgrade to android 4.4.4 official.

Looking for I9305T Firmware.

A friend of mine accidentally soft bricked his S3 I9305T (Telstra Version) trying to root it. Does anybody know where I can find the firmware for this exact phone? Or can normal I9305 Firmware be flashed?
Thanks
If someone could confirm that standard I9305 FW can be flashed that would make this a lot easier.

Yeah it is slow, you can pay for membership which speeds it up, but I usually leave it overnight to download. You can try samsung-updates.com as well but I think it is much the same.

Yes regular i9305 firmware can be flashed although being Telstra it won't have very good reception as the frequencies are different with Telstra. Flashing a Telstra modem after will help.. Also factory reset is usually a must if flashing stock software

Yeah I ended up getting the FW after about 4 failed downloads. Flashed the correct I9305T firmware (although not the Telstra exact variant, i'd assume it doesn't matter)
