It has already been mentioned that Samsung's Exynos SoCs had a vulnerability that could allow access to personal information if applications that were not trusted or that were created for that purpose were used. The company itself indicated that it would launch a solution as soon as possible and has complied. It has just been known that Samsung Galaxy S3 from the UK are already receiving the corresponding patch.
Therefore, the solution has been found quickly and shows that the work has been good. What's more, the included version of Android is 4.1.2, so this is a very good way to start the year 2013: giving support to users so that they do not have problems. Obviously, this update, called XXELLA, worldwide (although the dates for each country have not been confirmed).
The news has indicated it AndroidDNA and in XDA Developers His arrival has also been confirmed. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the terminals in Spain are of the departure.
If you can't wait, so you can get the update
We indicate the steps to follow to install the new version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Firmware (of the rest of the models involved in the vulnerability, for now, nothing is known). Of course, it is a version created for the English market and, therefore, the responsibility for its use lies with the owner of the terminal:
- The device must have the battery 90% charged, the data must be backed up (since it can be lost)
- Download the ROM in this link and the Odin program of this other
- Start the Odin program that you downloaded
- Connect the Samsung Galaxy S3 to the USB port and restart it in Download mode (for them simultaneously press Volume Down + Home + Power)
- In the Odin program, the box will appear illuminated ID: WITH
- Push the button PDA and select the ROM file, the one called XXELLA. Check the box Division is not selected and use the button Home
- When the box shows PASS, the process is over. Disconnect the phone from the PC and restart it. Everything is done.
- In the event that you want to erase the information, which is highly recommended (as long as you make the corresponding backup), start the Samsung Galaxy S3 in Recovery mode (Recovery Mode) by simultaneously pressing Volume Up + Home + Power.
- Select the menu that appears Wipe Data / Factory reset and Wipe Cache partition. Restart the system and, now, you have everything ready for it to work optimally

Sorry, it was sent, it only said the free ones in Spain are phe or fot because I have read on several sites that phe are the free ones in another site that phe are iPhone house Spain and in another that the free ones in Spain are fot which is the free Spain ?
Root users through Exynos abuse lose it with this update?
Yes, it is lost by Jose Antonio, but the usual rooting steps are still effective.
I'm fed up with waiting ... 4.1.2 (many defended that it took because they were going to solve the exynos problems ... well, you see that it is another update apart haha) the Samsung on Twitter do not stop saying that it will arrive very soon to the free S3 of Spain ¬ ¬ the very soon 2 weeks ago that they have been saying, I also want to tell you that I have read in another forum that the update of exynos introduces modifications to avoid the serious "bug" that affects the motherboards of the S3 , the so-called "sudden death." I have hope and I hope that tomorrow or the same day 6 of «kings» we will have that gift, the 2 pending updates. All the best
