i think you can copy your /System and get stuff from there, other than that maybe go to Sammobile, and download a firmware there and see if you can extract anything from there.

Galaxy S3 Rom

Hey I am new to custom roms and have recently downloaded the UltimaRom v8.1.1 rom to my Galaxy S3. It runs great but there is a new update to v8.1.2 and after downloading from the phone it downloads a zip file and asks me if I want to reboot into recovery. I am wondering how to apply the update as it is only about 16mb so I didn't want to open the zip in recovery unless this is the right thing to do? Thanks for help in advance

if it's a zip file then flash it in recovery mode, since it contains system files that can't be replaced/updated while the android processes are running
Okay does it matter about the size of the zip file?

is there a thread for that specific ROM? if so, have you asked in there?
I have not seen one as of yet but I will continue searching!

@fayez107
The country/region of the firmware does not matter. It only matters if you want to receive OTA firmware updates or update via Kies.
There's a Pakistani firmware in this link if you insist on having it http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9105&pcode=0#firmware

Well once I root my phone, it means no more OTA update for me right?
Officialy i cant get anymore updates from Samsung Kies?
Cause if Thats the case I'm thinking to wait for 4.2 update from Samsung. Maybe that fixes the problem to move apps over sd. The link you gave, is it rooted?

Well so here is the deal..
I flash my phone using Odin and install CMW Recovery. And then install the pre-rooted firmware available in this forum (regardless) the country in belongs. Thats it ?

No...if you rooted your phone with clockworkmod installed already. Then you don't have to install the prerooted firmware, cause you already rooted!
Sorry for the misleading post.

Well at this very moment I have installed nothing. I am looking for Pre-Rooted firmware (PAK). I hope i get it or if someone can do that please do the favor and root the original stock rom (firmware) so I can use that. I do not want any modifications and customized UI.
UPDATE :- I just rooted my phone through Odin. Installed CWM and then installed SuperSU. Root checker has passed my phone. I still cant install or move apps to SD card

What to do... what to do...

I did not make a nandroid of my stock system (30 lashes with my own strap). Consequently I've been looking for the stock firmware to download. It is apparently only available through hotfile.com and I can't complete a download (been trying all day). Does anyone have stock jellybean for the gt-p5113 that can pm me to make arrangements to share through dropbox or something.
Thanks
Edit: I'm in the USA so I need what seems to be the general version.

Bro its not necessary that you flash original firmware!!!
Go to development section and download a Rom say ripper Rom.
Its good and flash it via cwm recovery!!!
And if you do not have recovery installed than install it.that will take 5 minutes at max
Enjoy.

I realize this is kinda ocd but I'm really upset that I didn't make a nandroid before I flashed cm10.1. Consequently, if I ever need to return my tablet to Samsung I can't revert it to stock. I'm just trying to get a working copy of the firmware (jellybean for gt -p5113 USA version) to have on hand. I'd like to try other roms but I want the ability to revert to stock first.

Bro first flash any Rom,you can download that as file hosting sites for them are good.so you get your device working.
And later when you get stock firmware via hotfile just simply flash that.

Thanks it's working fine with CM 10.1. I'm just being a little crazy about not having the backup and trying all day without getting a download. I suppose it will eventually download if I keep trying. Sorry for the bother. ( and I'm not a bro I'm a grandma LOL)

No reason to start 2 threads on the same topic. Mods will most likely close one of them. Hotfile is as good as it gets. I suggest you check your internet connection. Downloading by phone is not the best way. And if you use a pc then make sure your computer does not go to sleep before the download is finished. Almost all the files in the links I gave are US. Cellular South is Mississippi. Not sure what the XAC region code is.

I'd be happy for them to close both! I feel dumb for even asking. I'm still trying the download... if it fails again I'll try on my PC. Thanks for your help!!!

[Q] Baseband I535OYUDNE1 flashable zip

K so I've searched and can't find much of anything.. Is there a zip file I can use to update my modem from ML1 to NE1? I don't want the entire firmware because obviously it'll lock my bootloader.
Thanks!
