I'm currently on stock 4.1.2 xell4 firmware. Not rooted. If i flash the new firmware via Odin then will i get that triangle thing or red mark thing on each boot? No one is sure if this new rom has sudden death fix but i want to try it.

Suggestions plz
[Galaxy S III General] johnfranz29:
You will not get the the triangle as long as you flash a stock rom or official rom...
[Galaxy S III General] sarbe:
If everything is stock you will not get the red exclamation.

[Galaxy S III General] Pard0ned:
I originally wanted to unroot my phone as I don't think the roms at the minute are as good as i was hoping.

So I came here, though "oh this will be fast and easy". How wrong I was. For one, Hotfile is a huge pile of crap. Took me 40 minutes to download the official rom on a 55mbs line. WTF?

At least now I'm successfully unrooted and everything's okay. Both rooting and unrooting the GS3 is super easy.

Thanks faryaab for hosting the files, but please think of somewhere else to host them. Somewhere that, preferably isn't using a dial-up connection.

[Galaxy S III General] armanderli:
That issue will persist because of the way the Rom handles Ram...It closes applications in the background causin' the Launcher and some other apps to redraw in order to free memory...BY using APEX for instance you can keep IT in the memory(their is an setting for that) and prevent the redraw....

The thruth is that 1GB of memory isn't enough for Galaxy S 3...

[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
No problem!

Now about the wallpaper - well its just that when u rotate your homescreen, the wallpaper is now rotating - it was doing that previously, but beforehand, when setting the wallpaper it self, you never had the lines, showing u how the LANDSCAPE wallpaper would look like - ONLY the portrait one.

I hope I'm making sense lol

I'll blaze out some 50cent when I get home - but how will this help?

What was it like before?

EXCELLENT list - mind if I use this on my website bro :)?

U mean wallpaper? Just have rotation ON and ur launcher enabled to rotate.

Then flash it via odin, like it's hot.

indeed - loving the audio improvement.

Can anyone tell me if they now see a rendering issue in the text messaging app; when you enter a message thread, the background of the thread starts out grey and after a split second returns to the background colour chosen in the options (in my case black)? It didn't exist before updating to this, but I'm wondering if a full wipe is necessary to sort out little niggles like this...

Ok guys.

Need some opinion here.

Does the new XXELLA seem to fix the exynos mem bug and sudden death?

I created a placeholder thread for my rom by mistake, but now i have links and i'm looking forward to an update to LLA.

I'm still undecided whether to try and integrate the new bootloader, or not to.

So, i need some opinion from xda members here.

[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
from what i have been reading here and other sites: yes for exynos exploit and still to be confirmed for SDS.

i flashed the new bootloader before finding out that you can't go back to the old bootloader. if you care about warranty and you don't like to see that little ! on your S3 then i suggest don't flash the bootloader.
[Galaxy S III General] Kobrax:
I just got a new galaxy S3 on 3mobile UK ans baseband NEDIL.

When I go into custom recovery I get the little red !

Do you think my new phone has the new bootloader preinstalled as I have flashed nothing except c.f. auto root and cwm recovery since I got it 2 days ago?
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
since it came to you around the time of the update i would say no: it's like v2 of the bootloader while the XXELLA is v3 and the one that initally shipped is kinda like v1.

Ok I am in trouble now. I was on CM9 but wanted to go back to stock. So I downloaded XXDLIH from samfirmware.com and reset cache and data in recovery. I used Odin to flash the stock ROM without any trouble. Odin gives the pass message and I look at my phone. First the samsung galaxy s3 logo comes and goes. Then the sound and animation come and go, no trouble so far. Then there is the glowing logo. And it won't go away. I never get to the part where Android tells me its upgrading. Nothing happens anymore. So I pull the battery so I can flash once more BUT as soon as I put the battery back in the S3 boots already. So I can NOT enter recovery or download mode. Need some help! I promissed this phone to a good friend as he lost his phone. Can somebody tell me what to do?

[Galaxy S III General] shafez:
Has any one tried to flash a differen bootloader after flashing the rom?

I have tried and it always fail, yet I can flash any rom without bootloader. It seems to me that Samsung has locked the bootloader in this rom.
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
Won't work. The latest ELLA b/l will prevent you from flashing any pervious bootloader - why would you need to regress the b/l anyway?

Use Dr Love method above -looks very plausible - at your own risk.
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
You cant flash older ones.

Lucky 99% of the fws dont have bootloaders

If we see them we can remove them if they stop us from flashing.

If the bootloader was locked you wouldn't be able to flash anything except stock. All they have done is prevented you from using an old bootloader. Now let's say this bootloader fixes some huge bug that could kill your phone, you really want to do that? There is no downside to the LLA bootloader.

Re Swiftkey

Apparently Swiftkey and other keyboards not surviving a reboot is because of the way Google play installs it. You can easily get it to stick by installing it from the market, backing it up with Titanium or other backup program, then uninstall and restore from you backup program.

For this to work with Titanium you have to go into preferences and to the last setting which is "App processing mode" and select Interactive Classic Android installer.

The reason is that the classic android installer will put it in the correct place and everything will work as expected.

John.

2. But Chainfire told that in new bootloader if you after reseting the counter be stay on an official rom and kernel (unroot) every thing will be ok and counter stay az 0 and status official . So what is wrong with new bootloader ? We can before going service center, reset the counter ?

Its very useful. So if we needed to reset flash counetr we should use traingle away and then directly flash an stock rom and kernel without any custom kernel, recovery or rom. Is it true ?

So we can do it before going to a service center to deny avoiding guarantee?

[Galaxy S III General] Kobrax:
Just managed to install stock ELLA took a number of tries.

Not even rooted yet but pretty sure I know how to avoid red mark having read through every single page of the official thread

My method will be

1. Flash official firmware via Odin (or Kies whatever. I have done this step)

2. Use CF-Auto Root using Odin

3. Download and use triangle to reset the counter

4. DO NOT INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY.

5. Flash ROMS using only mobile Odin (as this won't increase binary counter) and never DL or boot into a custom recovery.

From what I make of the threads and learning from other people's mistakes this would be the way to avoid the red mark while still protecting S3 from the Sudden Death issue, assuming it's now fixed.

This is my theory based on the stacks of posts I have read through. I haven't tested this yet
[Galaxy S III General] alflopez:
Thanks Faryabb! Awesome post!

Thank you Faryaab,

I own a GS3, rooted it and then tested many ROMs, but all of them had minor annoying bugs like camera failing from time to time or being unable to attach files via gmail, etc. I grew tired of these bugs and also wanted back Samsung's stock video, music and gallery applications, which are simply way better than any app out there for custom JB ROMS.

Once rooted I went back to the backup I did with the stock ROM, but still I was unable to Install the OTA update. I downloaded I9300XXELLA_I9300OXAELLA_I9300XXELLA_BTU.zip, flashed the new 4.1.2 .tar.md5 in there and now I have 4.1.2 stock rom up and running, no bugs at all.

I just would like to have root access again :/
