For the current generation of people, the smartphone has become an indispensable assistant and an extremely useful device that combines hundreds of different functions. Taking a photo, counting the number of ingredients, setting reminders, checking the weather, reading the news, chatting with friends - this is not a complete list of all that modern smartphones are capable of. Sometimes we just forget that they are not eternal and are subject to gradual wear and tear.

The firmware process is quite entertaining. QS has an installer where you can select installation and application options. The first time I did not install the firmware with the desired parameters (also, the phone froze when loading, on the Samsung logo). I had to choose more modest stock parameters. After that, everything worked.

QS-3.3 with stock parameters is very similar to the official firmware of Galaxa S3, except that a few options have been added (for example, the screen mode in grayscale, like on the Galaxy S5). There are no complaints about its performance yet. Of course, in this regard, the CyanogenMod interface is much nicer, but you can live with this familiar interface.

How to flash a Galaxy S3?

Very often, owners of a Korean Samsung smartphone strive to increase the performance of the device and its functionality by flashing it. Updating the software helps to improve the technical characteristics of the gadget. In this article, we will look at how to flash a mobile phone using the example of the Samsung Galaxy S3.

How to flash a smartphone yourself

Before starting work, charge your phone (preferably to the maximum) and back up important information from it. To complete the instructions, you will need a computer or laptop with access to the global network, as well as a USB cable.

1. First of all, you need to download a program for flashing to your computer (this article implies the use of a special program Odin), the latest firmware version for the phone model you are interested in and a set of drivers for a smartphone (for example). For convenience, place all downloaded files in one folder.
2. To avoid unforeseen situations during the software update, we recommend disabling Anti-Virus for the duration of the procedure.
3. It is also worth disabling the Kies program (in case it is installed).
4. After downloading, install all the necessary programs on your computer. Unpack the firmware file.
5. Next, you need to manipulate the smartphone, namely, put the phone into download mode. To do this, turn off the device and simultaneously press the following buttons - Menu (Home / Home), Power (Power) and Volume (Volume) with the slider up. Wait for the information message to be displayed on the mobile phone screen and press the volume key (slider up) again.
6. After these steps, connect the mobile device to the computer using a USB cable.
7. Launch Odin, then click on the PDA button and select the firmware file.
8. Then click the "Start" button and wait for the software installation to complete. Typically, the flashing process takes about five minutes. During this time, it is important not to disconnect the phone from the computer.
9. As soon as the operation is completed, the message "Pass" or "Reset" will appear on the smartphone screen, and then the phone will reboot.
10. Disconnect the mobile phone from the computer, close the program and use the flashed smartphone.

It is worth noting that contacting to update the software will entail considerable costs.

Self-flashing a mobile phone should not be difficult if you strictly follow these instructions. However, we warn you that if you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better to entrust the operation to professionals. Please note that the editors are not responsible for incorrect actions by the user.

You can find it in our section.

1. Download to your computer everything we need

Driver SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.5.23.0.exe (14.65 MB) or Samsumg Kies (usually a disc with this program is included, or download the latest version from the official site)

The firmware itself - 4.1.2 I9300XXEMF6 (TMC) (06/27/2013)
Odin PC fresh version Odin3_v3.07 (452.87 KB)

2. Then install all downloaded programs in this order:
The first on the list is SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones, or completely Samsung Kies, although then you will have to temporarily "kill" the processes associated with the operation of this program through the Windows Task Manager. It is not difficult to do this, it is worth stopping everything where the word Kies is.

Disable your antivirus, if you have one (I personally do without it)
Install drivers.

Unpack Odin (check that there are no folders with Cyrillic characters in the path to the program, this is important).
Put the firmware in any folder on your PC, let's say the desktop (check that there are no folders with Cyrillic characters in the path to the firmware).

3. We transfer the phone to Download Mode
- Completely turn off the phone, wait for it to turn off completely.

- Then, to enter the Download mode (firmware / download mode) of the Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S 3 phone, we simultaneously hold down three hardware buttons, this is the volume down (decrease) + the phone's power key + the menu button, and hold for a couple of seconds.

Enter download mode Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S 3

- After turning on the phone, release the buttons, a warning message with a yellow triangle should appear, where they will ask us or we exactly want it, we confirm the desire to enter download mode by pressing the "Volume up" key (addition)

- An image of a green robot appears on the smartphone screen, as in the picture.

Congratulations, moving on to the next step.

4. Odin program and firmware.
Find the downloaded archive with single-file firmware in .zip format, unpack it. We see two files: in the .tar or .tar.md5 format.

Run Odin PC as administrator
In the PDA field, indicate the path to our firmware. We don't touch anything else!

We connect the phone with the original cable, which is already in Download Mode, to the computer running Odin and the selected firmware file, the blue field with the name of the port through which you connected is lit up in blue.

How to reflash Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S 3

Well, that's it, we boldly press “Start”, and the process of flashing your Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S 3 phone will begin

During the firmware process, you will see a lot of changing images in img format, system.img will take the longest time.
Then you will see a picture like this, and the phone will reboot into installation mode.

Then the phone will reboot. Perhaps the Samsung inscription will hang for a long time (the first activation after flashing lasts longer than usual, sometimes up to 10 minutes), but usually not longer than a minute.
Next, the phone will boot up, you will see a welcome screen, and Odin will show you that everything went well. The message "All threadscompleted. (Succeed1 / failed 0)" will appear in the log.

Hello, let me show you today how to flash Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S3 standard firmware and rooted (or rooted?). Since the amount of information on this device is quite large, I decided that I will tell you about the service codes, custom firmware and backup of this model next time. Everyone already knows what kind of animal it is - there are a lot of reviews and reviews on the Internet.

Initially, the device came with android version 4.0.4 "Ice Cream Sandwich", they still bring them with this old software, but you can already update it to version 4.1.2 "Jelly Bean", they also promise updates at the end of the year up to version 4.3 - while we wait. Initially, on the first versions, the device was wildly buggy, hung up, turned off, the applications stopped working (processes were terminated urgently), lost the network and stupidly died - it turned off for no particular reason and did not turn on anymore - in servers they stupidly changed the boards under warranty (who were lucky) and explained that this is a factory defect, but about a year later the situation leveled off and there were fewer such jambs that the Samsung engineers could fix.

The main drawback of this device today is its fragility - it pressed a little or squeezed it and, God forbid, dropped it - a crack on the sensor is provided, and this is already replacing the entire display module (repair up to 8,000 rubles in some sharashkas). So be careful. And let's get down to the firmware.

ATTENTION!!! Before starting a software update, rooting, resetting settings and other manipulations with your own or God forbid someone else's device HIGHLY RECOMMEND read this one. In short, you were warned and do not say later that you hear this for the first time.

Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S3 - software update and ROOT rights.

Before proceeding with the firmware, let's first prepare everything you need:

• Fully charge the battery;

• MicroUSB any cable will do, but it is better to take it from the kit;

• Firmware, latest version - I9300XXUGOE1 ;

• The flasher program - Odin3 v3.04 ;

• Drivers - install kies (when updating the software, do not run this application, but rather go to the task manager and kill all processes named kies). But it's better to install the drivers there and a post on how to install them correctly;

• A personal computer or laptop of average configuration with the WIN7 SP1 operating system should be enough;

• CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar - firmware file for rooting.

First, back up all data or use KIES to save all the files you need to your computer. Soon there will be an article on how to make a backup of the firmware - I'm already writing. You can download all files at the end of the article.

Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S3- factory firmware.

Step 1:If you have not charged the battery yet, then it's time to do it, insert the battery into the phone and enter the device into DOWNLOADING mode - for this, first hold down the HOME (central) button, then the volume down key and then the power button of the device.

Step 2:Information will appear warning us about possible problems with the phone when using modified firmware. And offers to either continue or restart the smartphone. We continue by pressing the volume key up. A green android robot should appear. We are on the right track.

Step 3:Download the archive with firmware and flasher and launch the application Odin3_v3.04.exe.

Step 4:The main window of the flasher appeared in front of us Odin3 v3.04.

Step 5:And so, the smartphone is entered into the download mode, the battery is charged, important information is saved, the drivers are installed (do not forget to "kill" all kies processes if you installed it). We connect the cable to the phone - the com-port must be determined and a line with the word Added appears - this is a good sign, it means that the device is detected by the PC.

Step 6:Now it's the turn of setting ONE - the choice of firmware files:

PIT -mx.pit

Bootloader - BOOTLOADER

PDA - CODE _I9300XXEMG4_1314436_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

PHONE - MODEM _I9300XXEMG4_REV02_REV04_CL1360150.tar.md5

CSC - CSC _OXE_I9300OXEEMH1_CL1359224_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

BE CAREFUL - CHECK A FEW TIMES !!!

If everything is ok, press the START button.

Step 8:"PASS"- in about five minutes the device will be sewn. Everything, Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S3 ready to use. You have the latest firmware version.

Step 9:Reboot and check the software version by typing the following code on the phone keypad *#1234# .

Obtaining ROOT rights.

If you do decide to root your Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S3, then you are aware of what you are doing and take all the responsibility for yourself. And so let's get started:

Step 1:Download CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar - this is a rootkit, so it will be necessary to disable ANTI-VIRUS, unpack this archive. The final file must be with the extension .tar or .tar.md5.

Step 2:We transfer the device to the DOWNLOADING mode - see the instructions above.

Step 3:Launch Appendix Odin3 v3.04.exe.

Step 4:Select the rootkit file and put it in the field PDA... If you have androida 4.1.x version, then be sure to uncheck the Auto-reboot checkbox.

Step 5:We connect the phone to the computer with a cable and press the Start button. In a minute, the device will be sewn, and since we removed the checkmark Auto-reboot- turn off the device with the handles and enter it into recovery mode by holding down the volume button in turn, then the HOME button and the power button. Root rights are automatically installed.

Instructions for flashing a Samsung Galaxy C3 smartphone with single-file firmware via the Odin 3 program on Windows

Any digital device, be it a player, phone, camera, computer, and even a smart watch will not perform its functions without software. Without software, a computer is just a piece of hardware, therefore, in order not to be just a piece of hardware, an operating system (OS) is installed on the computer. The phone also has an OS installed, which is popularly called "firmware". Firmware is a set of hardware settings and software that are stored in the device's memory. So, in this article, let's take a closer look at why people change the firmware on their phones.

If the phone we just bought works with a bang, does not give any errors, "flies" and so on, then the phone that has served us for some time can slow down, work intermittently, glitch, have an outdated design, factory defect , do not install applications because the firmware is out of date, and so on and so on. If, in the event of brakes, you can do a full reset of the phone settings, then when fixing glitches, defects or unstable operation of the device, it is recommended to update the firmware to a newer version.

Usually, android smartphones themselves offer to update in automatic mode, but there are times when our smartphone is infected with a virus or does not turn on at all or freezes on loading, then in this case we will have to install the firmware ourselves.

1. Prepare and download everything you need

Before flashing your phone, you need to download:

1. USB Driver for Samsung Phones(in our case, we used driver version 1.5.59.0 dated 01/08/2016 called SAMSUNG + USB + Driver + for + Mobile + Phones + 1.5.59.0 + SSPC.exe);
2. Firmware(we used stock non-operator firmware Android 4.3 XXUGOE1 (SER) (05/21/2015) Changelist 2833503, download);
3. Odin PC program(we used Odin3 v3.09.3).

2. Installing programs

First of all, you need to install the usb driver for samsung phones, then unpack the Odin program into a directory without Cyrillic (Russian) letters, usually drive C. In the same folder where Odin was unpacked, we throw the firmware, unpack it and see 2 files: the first in the .tar.md5 format, the second SS_DL.dll (the second dll file can be deleted).

3. We put the smartphone into Download Mode

To do this, turn off the phone completely by pressing the power button. We are waiting until the screen of the device goes out.

4. Odin program and smartphone flashing process

So, now we launch the program by double-clicking on the Odin3 v3.09.exe file. The following window should appear:

In the "Option" section, leave the checkboxes: "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". And in the "Files (Download)" section, click on the "PDA" button and select the file with the firmware. After the performed manipulations, we connect the cable to the phone, in turn, the blue "ID: COM" label should light up in Odin.

Now the most important thing is to press the "Start" button and wait while the phone is being stitched (1-5 minutes). When the phone is flashed in the program, the inscription "PASS" will light up from above, and from the bottom " All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0) ", which means" Everything is just cool and no errors! ", now we disconnect the cable from the phone, close the program and wait for the android to load on the phone itself.
