Ok someone teach me the ways of Odin. Done with this crap Kies.

This is how I do it:


Download Odin and the firmware you want to flash.
Switch your phone off, then press Home+power+vol down to put the phone into download mode.
Connect the phone and wait until the icon on the top turns yellow
Add the firmware in the PDA box in Odin and make sure the re-partition box is not selected. You do not want to re-partition.
Now start the flash and your phone will do the rest.
Just make sure not to disconnect your phone or switch off the PC while you're doing it, which is why I prefer to do it on a laptop.
And don't disconnect the phone until it boots back into Android.

It's as simple as that and takes a few minutes...

Shot DJ, where can I grab the SA JB release?
 
Using Kies:

I keep getting the error: failed to run firmware upgrade. unknown error occurred
 
I've read reports that upgrading to 4.1.2, which I've done, will increase your binary count... Can anyone confirm this?

Well after i flashed the rom and rooted my phone it added to my counter. I used triangle away and my counter says "no" now so that means 0 im guessing.

Will I lose all my data doing this?

I'm on a stock CellC S3. Haven't upgraded to 4.1 yet.

I've got a problem with Gtalk when I'm on GSM only. It just never signs in, and doesn't work. WhatsApp and Skype IM works fine. Gmail seems to work fine too...

Does GSM only save enough battery to be worth using over Auto?
Will 3G only work? (Cape Town area, decent coverage)

Heavy lifting I do via WiFi, and when I need a portable hotspot for my laptop I just flip the switch back to Auto.

60% of the time, I'm on WiFi (work & home)
35% on 2G
<5% on 3G

Would like to remain available on Gtalk for that 35%

Can someone confirm if JellyBean fixes that? Any other work around?

Anyone? :o
