OFFICIAL FIRMWARE & PIT COLLECTION
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3
{SCH-I535/D2VZW}
{The above image is a refrence of all the Stock Firmware, Release Dates, etc...}
DISCLAIMER/FYI
- Sammobile stopped providing free downloads for this device and only available to Sammobile Premium Members.
- I am aware that other locations/websites offer one or more of the following Firmware/PIT files. I'm providing them all in one place to help others out in obtaining them.
- Due tot he size of the Firmware Files, the PIT Files are only available on the Downloads area of the DevDB.
- Any process (like updating your modem) via Odin/TWRP/CWM is simple/easy to do but, as always, if your not sure of what your doing and don't do your research (ie... searching, asking questions, etc... first), then you take the risk of damaging your device.
- I take no responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen but, I am always willing to provide assistance to help you out.
- Also keep in mind that when performing any unconventional updates, unlocking, rooting, etc... you may end up "voiding your warranty"!
INSTRUCTIONS
1. If not already done, be sure your PC/LPTP has the latest "Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones" installed.
2. Download the Firmware and extract the ".tar.md5" file needed from one of the download links (below).
3. Reboot your device in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons).
4. Connect the USB cable to the Device and PC.
5. Open Odin and select the PDA/AP and choose the ".tar.md5" Firmware file you downloaded.
{Please Note: It's typically reccomended to use Odin v3.07-v3.12 but, other versions may also work.
6. In Odin, please be sure not to make any additional selections than the default that was already selected when you opened Odin.
{Please Note: ONLY if using a PIT file, be sure you select the "re-partition" option.
7. Select "Start" at the bottom & be patient for the process to complete as it can take some time for Odin to finish. Once Finished, Odin should reflect a Green "PASS" when completed (The device will also reboot automatically when done).
