Galaxy S3 Reset

WexIan · 2014-03-10 14:39:08

Hi All, I have a S3 running Android 4.3 and want to do a factory reset. Will it revert to 4.1 which was installed when I purchased it or keep 4.3. Thanks

Just got a msg saying a firmware download is due to update to 4.3

Should i ignore it or is 4.3 good? No issues to speak of?

I updated to 4.3 last week on my S3. Never came back to life after the download. Currently away to see if it can be fixed.

So, basically, YMMV.
