    Default Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 Firmware for AU

    [preamble]
    ARRGGGHHHHH
    [/preamble]



    Good lord. I have never had more trouble trying to download firmware.



    My old S3 is stuck in the "Welcome" screen after a reset with the banner..........

    "Google Play services has stopped working"

    And I can get no further.

    I have installed KIES and have downloaded Oden to attempt to re-flash the phone but my issue is the firmware.

    Samsung re-directs me to a site that is just a pig to use and I have not been able to download the required firmware even when the download has started twice!!!!!

    I was ready to put a hammer through the phone to solve me need to upgrade it but resisted and thought I would turn to the good people of Austech.

    So, please, can you assist with the firmware for my Optus Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 phone.

    Insurance?

    Have you considered a Third Party ROM?

    Can you get into Recovery Mode?

    Porkop, how did you go, had same problem with a S4 last week, am sure there was another step in between re loading a rom
    The reason in my case was the wrong version of Gapps

    There is a fine line between "Hobby" and "Madness"

    I use these two sites to download original firmware for Samsung,

    Must join to download but free

    No need to join to download

    Both sites are slow to download but get the job done, first link is a bit faster with instructions how to install the firmware.
