However a new version Not all users have received the firmware, since different operator firmware versions may vary in delivery time, while other users may not see their smartphones on their own. new firmware. In this regard, I have written a short guide on how to manually update the Galaxy S III to Android 4.3.

So, first we need it itself, you can download it on our website. For devices purchased legally in Russia, it is best to install the version for the home market, but there is no such version yet, so I decided to install the British version. It is not much different and also contains the Russian language, like any other European version. In the future, it will be possible to reinstall the firmware again using the method described below and this will not lead to loss of the official warranty for the smartphone. I also recommend reading the article to the end in order to avoid future discomfort that will inevitably overtake you after the update.

The procedure for installing the firmware is as follows:

1. run the program on your PC and make sure your smartphone has enough charge;
2. enter the smartphone into mode Download Mode(while simultaneously pressing the “off” + “volume down” + “home button”) keys, then press “Volume up”;
3. connect to device USB cable;
4. in the Odin application on your computer, select files from the archive with the firmware:
   • for the column PIT - a file with the extension *.pit;
   • for PDA - a file whose name contains the word CODE, if there is none, then you should know that this is the heaviest file in the archive;
   • for CSC - a file whose name contains the word CSC;
   • for Phone - a file containing MODEM in the name;
   • Note. If the files for the CSC, Phone and PIT columns are not in the archive with the firmware, then we sew exclusively using the one-file method, i.e. indicate the location of the firmware in the PDA column, and leave the remaining lines empty.
5. Make sure that the “Auto Reboot” and “F.” checkboxes are checked in Odin. Reset Time". If the location of the *.pit file was specified, then the “Re-Partition” checkbox will be checked automatically;
6. Press the “Start” button and watch how the firmware process occurs. The phone may reboot several times during installation and in no case should you disconnect the cable from it until the message “All threads completed” appears in the Odin log or the green information window with the inscription “PASS!” lights up.

On average the process Galaxy firmware S3 takes about 6 minutes, but can take longer. In any case, you should wait for the message about the completion of the firmware installation, because premature interruption of the process can turn the phone into a “brick”. Once Odin informs you that the firmware was installed successfully (the “PASS!” message in the Odin application), you can begin installing the operating system itself.

Difficulties in Android installation 4.3 no, the system is intuitive and invites the user to check the necessary boxes, and even if you miss any points, you can always make changes in the smartphone settings. Now the phone is fully flashed and ready to use.

Android 4.3 is quite different from previous version(Android 4.1.2), but we still have the same Jelly Bean, so it won’t take long to get used to the innovations. First of all, what catches your eye is the updated interface that the Galaxy S3 inherited from its . In addition, the standard Samsung keyboard and the S Voice service, new screen and camera modes appeared, and they were accompanied by a redesigned notification center and settings section. Another feature of Android 4.3 is support for TRIM (now the device should become faster), ANT+, clocks and full voice control.

However, at this time Android moment 4.3 is not suitable for everyone, since, although official, the firmware is still crude and sometimes buggy. In particular, I noticed that unlocking now takes longer, and sometimes during this process the phone may freeze completely, after which it will have to be rebooted. After asking other users about this problem, I found out that many people experience similar delays. At the same time, other users are complaining about other things. For example, when the end call button freezes.

In general, Android 4.3 can be installed for review, but at your own peril and risk. However, I would still recommend waiting for the official Android versions 4.3 Galaxy S3 for Russia or firmware with bugs fixed. Fortunately, Samsung is already working on a solution to the identified problems.

ParanoidAndroid is a ROM created by a dedicated team of developers, and the latest (final) version has just arrived for the international Galaxy S3 model, that is, the model designated I9300. Of course, being a custom ROM, the process of installing it on your phone requires you to have root access, which could potentially brick the phone if it goes wrong and void the warranty too.

Still unsure? Here is an excerpt from Android View about the ROM review: “PA3+ is an AOSP based ROM and what I love most is its beauty, especially the hybrid flexibility. Performance ROM fast and responsive, but one thing that still worries me is the battery life. Don't expect very decent battery performance from it. Install it, enjoy it, and look forward to a battery leak fix in the future."
