Update on samsung galaxy c3. Update Android OS on Samsung phone. Before we start
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 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, freezing, self-disconnected, 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 again - 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 (up to 8,000 rubles repair in some sharashkas). So be careful. And let's get started with 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, or better go to the back manager and kill all the processes called 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 do backup all data or use KIES to save all required files on 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.
