  6. what happened if I can not do the upgrade? I have followed the instructions to the letters but odin messages said failed.
    I have tried download the same firmware baseband version of my device "P7300XXKJ6" instead using the firmware you mentioned above.
    I also have tried reset to factory setting to ease the upgrade.
    Your feedback will be much appreciated.

    Thank you,

  7. Hello, great work here!
    The step by step seems perfect even for a new user as me.
    However, the sammobile website is out and no downloads are available any further. Do you still have them? Is there any way you could send me them? Thanks a lot!
