Download the official Samsung Samsung GT-I9003 Stock Firmware (Flash File) for your. Creatix ctx405 v1 windows 7 driver. On this page, you will find the official link to download Samsung GT-I9003 Stock Firmware ROM (flash file) on your Computer. Android Version: 2.3.6.
Time has passed on the old Samsung Galaxy S, but even so, the device still has its loyal fan base that we dare say is still bigger than that of some of more recent Android smartphones. Even though the original Galaxy S i9000 has been launched more than two years ago, Samsung was keen to gain the most out of its success, and decided to launch a later version simply named Galaxy SL i9003. The small change in number has been reflected as an even smaller change in the hardware, if you are to believe that a change of the screen is no big deal.
The L in the SL name came from the replacement of the AMOLED screen with one of the more common LCD models out there. Fortunately for us, the rest of the hardware found inside the Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 is still the same as the one found on the original Galaxy S, and this means that the custom ROM’s and even the official ones should not differ too much between the models. Although this is good from a software point of view, Samsung obviously left the SL device trailing behind the original model, as it is only now getting the official Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread update.
As always with these official updates, their roll out is being made gradually, from one end of the world to the other, and this might mean that some users will get the update way before others. The goal of this present article is to provide you with an easy, fast and secure way of updating your Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 to the latest official Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware manually, without having to rely on the availability of the OTA version.
This particular firmware from Samsung bears the XXLE4 codename and comes with a lot of new stuff, including some that has been seen only on the Galaxy S II and S III up to now. There is one more thing we need to discuss before heading to the actual guide, and this is the disclaimer notice: This software is not our creation so we must warn you that you cannot hold us responsible for any damage that might occur to your device by following the procedures in this guide.
However, we will try to help you sort out any glitches or problems that might arise by following the steps in this guide to the extent our knowledge limits us. By going further into this guide you have accepted the risks and terms above. It is very important that you understand this little notice, as you will be the one that will actually apply the update to your device. The XXLE4 Android 2.3.6 update comes in a form that can be flashed only through the Odin software, and this also makes it a good toll with which you can revert your device from a custom ROM to a stock one. That is right, if your Galaxy SL i9003 is running a custom ROM, applying this update will make it revert to the factory settings. This little trick can be seen a double edged blade, as some users might want to keep their root access, while others will gladly accept the official software.
Fortunately for the first category, this firmware version has already been rooted, and it only takes a couple of steps to get back to your favorite apps after applying this update. Now it is time to move to the first part of our guide, the one where we will discuss the methods you will use to preserve your personal data stored on your Galaxy SL i9003.
Even though this is an official update, your personal data might still get wiped out during the updating procedure, and this requires some backing up prior to undertaking the procedure. Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the official Samsung KIES application to backup your personal data, as if the OTA update has not arrived in your area, the PC software will not recognize your device after it has been updated to the XXLE4 firmware. To this extent, we have gathered a couple of third party procedures and applications that will help you both backup and restore your data one the update has been successfully applied: • Text messages – We will back them up with the following application: • Phone Contacts – You can simply synchronize them to your account or export them to the micro SD card as a.vcf file • Call Log – We will use the following application to backup your call log: • Pictures, Music, Videos, and other files – Simply copy them to your microSD card. • Internet & MMS Settings – Write down all the settings from this path “Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names” These are all the procedures and apps you will ever need to backup all of your personal data from your Android device, regardless of its manufacturer, so please make sure you remember them for further reference. Next up, it is time to discuss some critical requirements that both your Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 and your PC must meet before undergoing the updating procedure. These requirements, or rules if you want them this way, are in place to ensure that everything is ready as far as the software is concerned, and this in turn means minimizing the risks of this procedure. You can never be too careful with these software updates, as every a small line of poorly written code can bring chaos to your device.
