Thanks. So as I understand it what I need to do is

1) download I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_BTU

2) backup everything with Titanium backup (I'm currently rooted)

3) Do factory reset

4) flash using ODIN (doesn't need to be rooted) in exactly same fashion as I flashed LI8

5) root and restore everything using Titanium backup

Don't I need to reset the flash counter?
[Galaxy S III General] mrtoken:
And this is why you don't flash roms from other countries if your carrier has something that you want.

The HD voice will be something in the orange firmware that they got samsung to put in for their network i.e. radio/something in the firmware.

If you want the HD, flash back to your carriers firmware and wait for the release
[Galaxy S III General] Kriomag:
i use JB for a few days

and everything is working good, except gallery bug and annoying grey statusbar (but i try to ignore that adn for gallery i use QuickPic :P)

I have a question about rooting, is there any other way than CFRoot ? i dont want to trigger flash count (not yet), i just need root and access to system files so i can remove bloatware and do some simple mods by myself, i dont want recovery and custom kernel (yet). I saw a method for Verizon SIII with a simple and fast adb shell script! it would be great if something like this was available to International S III.

Thank You!

Don't root if you want the OTA from your carrier

If you are just going to flash the firmware via odin when it is released then you can root.
[Galaxy S III General] Blenky:
I don't have a carrier my phone is SIM free unbranded

If I want to do a full back up and restore with titanium backup don't I need to be rooted?

Also my counter is set to 2 from rooting do I need to reset that before I do a factory reset ? Ta.
[Galaxy S III General] insomnia:
what gallery bug are people referring to ?
[Galaxy S III General] NapsTer.VicTor:
Can't I just flash my carrier's modem???
[Galaxy S III General] mrtoken:
My understanding is that if you want OTA updates you have to have stock and be un-rooted.

If you want to flash the rom via odin (when it is released for the UK) you can then root and wait for the rom to be released.

Yes you will need root for titanium backup to work.

Depends if it is the radio or the firmware that has the HD calling.

Also depends if the XEO firmware will support the radio.

Its like my telco here in NZ, they use 850mhz range and don't support Fast Dormancy on their network, when I was first flashing roms from the UK my battery was draining fast because the roms had Fast Dormancy turned on, I went back to my stock rom till there was an app out to toggle fast dormancy to off.
[Galaxy S III General] gchindi:
If u r rooted u won't get ota, and for backup purposes u can use TB, but to restore you will need root again, however

then you again will miss out on ota coz u rooted to use TB restore, so u need to unroot after restoring from TB. :rolleyes:

U dont need to reset the counter, its not required to reset counter to receive ota..

You can use any latest modem, make sure it supports d latest firmware you are using so that it is optimised for better performance... Otherwise there will be issues with signal/wifi... You can try and check all depends on usage pattern and location and your current firmware.
[Galaxy S III General] NapsTer.VicTor:
How can i find what modem is for DLIB?
[Galaxy S III General] gchindi:
If you flash full odin firmware, that means you have got the latest modem packed with it, so thats d latest n best modem sammy gave everyone...
[Galaxy S III General] NapsTer.VicTor:
You haven't read my posts. I want HD voice..which may be found in the orange modem..
[Galaxy S III General] mrtoken:
And the problem there is that Orange radio will still be ICS, it may have problems being used with JB from poland.

I still think it has something to do with both radio and firmware that oranges uses from samsung

Question: what is exactly gallery bug which is mentioned in this thread?

Additionally, can somebody check is stereo sound video recording bug corrected? I mean on bug where L and R channels are swapped.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] AmesCell:
I don't have JB installed but just what I've read in this thread I'd say it's the notification bar showing; also showing in both portrait and landscape.
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
Hi all,

I just have flashed this firmware, but i can't connect via kies to restore my files enymore...

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
The problem is that your CSC is unknown, you can check that by dialing on your keypad *#1234# third line will say CSC unknown.

Reflash the firmware again.

In order to get Kies working you need to change your CSC to XEO, be aware this will wipe your phone including memory card.

Let me know if you need any help

[Galaxy S III General] souless223:
NEED HELP!!

im using s3 and recently flash to cm10 how do i revert back to stock rom which is now jb?
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
Can i just change CSC without reflashing? and how can i change it?
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
ok first things first.

Go into your dial pad and dial *#1234# and tell me what the third line CSC says.

Does it say unknown?
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
Definitely it says CSC: "unknown"...
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
Ok then you will have to reflash.

Once you have reflashed let me know what it says and i will guide you through the process of changing your CSC.
[Galaxy S III General] felixthecat:
Thanks worked really well
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
Ok... i just reflashed it, and again is says CSC: Unknown!!!
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
CSC Unknown

Ok it seems that for a lot of people after flashing JB the CSC changes to unknown, ie the phone will not connect to Kies.

Here is what you can do:

1. Easy option is to wait for the UK unbranded BTU version:D like me

2.Check your CSC Status by entering on your dial pad *#1234# this will show three lines, the third one being CSC. In most cases this shows unknown.

First step is to reflash JB. Then check again this time CSC should show.

Before the next step you need to be aware that by changing your CSC you will wipe your phone including your memory card so take that out before you change CSC.

Now there are three options to change the CSC to XEO for this JB version.

First one is to enter on the dial pad *#272*IMEI# and change it from there.

Number two and three option are a download from Google Play

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lector&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

or

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwyLDYsImNvbS5sYXVjYXNzLnNnc2NzYyJd

These are apps that help you change your CSC.

After that you should be able to connect to Kies again.

DONT FORGET CHANGING CSC WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE AND MEMORY CARD

Hope this helps

Jess

Ok was your phone on stock rom before or rooted
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
Yes, it was stock rom, i bought s3 with that rom
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
ok then the only other option you have is to give the phone a factory reset/wipe. That should help.

I cant promise anything though just trying to help as best as I can. :)
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
Im trying to change csc *#272*IMEI# but it says "Unknown Application"
[Galaxy S III General] victorator:
Wrong, wrong and wrong.

1. CSC won't show up even if you flash the build 10 times. It will only show up if your current CSC matches any of which are included in this specific firmware.

In this case, here's the csc list included in LIB.

2. It will wipe your INTERNAL phone memory aka /sdcard, not the external micro sdcard you put in the phone which is /ExtSdCard

3. The *#272.. method doesn't work any more.
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
have you wiped/factory reset the phone yet?
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
Yes, and same again CSC: Unknown
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
Ok fair enough about point number 2. Sorry my mistake.

Point 1. When i first flashed my CSC status was unknown. I reflashed and tada now it shows I9300XFDLI1. So Point 1. wrong

Point 2. How come it works on my phone??
[Galaxy S III General] victorator:
Can you read what I wrote 2 posts up and stop spamming the thread with the same questions again?

CSC doesnt change a thing. It's good if you wanna get OTA updates in the future which you guys will not because you will most likely flash another newer build release for a different region with another csc set and if it so happens that it will include your csc, the 'unknown' message will disappear. Unknown doesnt mean anything else for you. Leave it as it is. It doesnt change a thing!
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
Yes it does the change the fact that you cant use Kies.

And btw my CSC before was BTU, which is not included in that list. I reflashed and the unknown status changed.
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
How can i backup my things in the future without KIES?!
[Galaxy S III General] ricomoz:
True!

i cant connect do kies now because of CSC unknown
[Galaxy S III General] victorator:
Flash CWM with Odin and do a full backup to your extsdcard. Use triangle away afterwards... Or just copy your phone memory to your pc. Contacts you can sync with google. Messages you can backup with sms backup pro.

I haven't tested it. You might be right.
[Galaxy S III General] uberto.costanzo:
hi i have add folder ITV (my csc) in system/csc and now work :)
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
Ok thank you.

Sorry for going off on it like that.

Its just i tried helping as best as I can with the knowledge I have from what I have done and experienced flashing this JB.

Bottom line for me is I dont want to change my CSC to XEO as I dont want to wipe my phone so for now i will live without Kies and wait for the UK version.
[Galaxy S III General] victorator:
Out of curiosuty. What is it that you use Kies for anyway?

It's such a slow, resource hungry and unstable application.
[Galaxy S III General] ricomoz:
me too! as you sugested early today
[Galaxy S III General] sprognut:
I don't know I'm so used to Kies and the ability to use it. I back up the phone with it and syncing my calendar and contacts etc., also I take a lot of pictures and videos which I access through Kies as well.

Yes you are right it is slow and not the best in the world but I like it. And for a lot of people that don't have the know how about Cwm and don't want to use a lot of different apps I think Kies is a good start.
[Galaxy S III General] ricomoz:
I use kies to sincroniza photos and vídeos from cel to pc.. I like the way it does.

Jelly Bean firmware

Hey Faryaab,

I am new to Android world and own a galaxy S3 with Stock Vodafone australia firmware on it 4.0.4

I have downloaded the JB firware Poland from your link ...thanks heaps for this :)

I have some questions:

1. Will it change the base language once I flash Poland firmware (just a thought )

2. Can I get JB official update once available after flashing this firmware?

3. I really did not understand what do you mean by CSC and Do I need to change it to Australia after applying this firmware?

4. I guess the process is completely reversible and I can flash back stock firmware again without losing my warranty ?

Thanks in advance and please bear with me as I am totally new to android and came from iPhones :)

Cheers,

Viren
[Galaxy S III General] duowing:
There is really no need or reason to change your CSC other than possibly if it doesn't support your language. I haven't really used Kies, but I believe Kies works fine as long as you have a CSC file even though it may be mismatched to the rom. I think the problem is people are encountering CSC unknown so it's looking like you have a corrupted rom and Kies probably doesn't want to connect to that. For someone like me in the US I don't think the i9300 actually has a CSC file for the US so I just use the CSC file that matches with the rom. It always seems to have US English in it anyways.

My Gripes with the latest update

I am quite sure about the fact that SAMSUNG couldn't properly configure the hwcomposer. After a 2 day use of this JB ROM ( UNROOTED, did a factory Reset twice). Things are definitely smoother, but at times,

the animation just stutters

Start Temple Run (lags a little at times)

Leave the app open, then lock the screen

Unlock the screen

I see black dead screen for a very long time

The battery life is excellent for me, alot better than stock ICS, app load times significantly improved, except the laggy dialer and contact app (same in ICS, with s3 and Gnote). The Messaging app also takes quite some time to show the messages.

Very occasionally, the app drawer animation when swiping between app pages stutter, and the widget page is very laggy on first swipe, after that it gets smooth. Sometimes, the unlock button responds very quickly, other times, it takes a while to show the screen (Same with ICS, but a little better performance in JB). When making a call, the proximity sensor takes a lot of time to respond and display the screen back up when taking the fone away from your face. This release is far from being perfect, let alone official.

Can anyone confirm these issues ?

PS. the CSC issue is not present for me, Kies works like a charm.
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Two problems that I see after the update.

For some reason phone thinks that I'm roaming while I'm on my home network.

And second CPU Spy reports that Deep sleep is not used. Nevermind, it took a while to kick in. It sleeps! But the roaming problem I could not solve. :(

Anyone else experienced this?

Issues Encountered on new JB firmware

Guys, I have been evaluating the DLIB firmware for the past 2 days. I installed it with no data wipe but wiped dalvik and so far i have encountered minor issues namely

- Sometimes Music is stuttering when Mobile Data is Connected

- 15 button Toggle slows down its framerate scrolling when music player controls is in the notification bar

- Browser sometimes stutter when switching between tabs

- Stock Video Player has a hard time caching preview tiles

- media server sucking up battery for the past 2 days

- sometimes slow opening of dialer, contacts, and Messages.

Does anybody here experiences this kind of problem even if they wipe install the firmware?
[Galaxy S III General] Reno_79:
I can't say I noticed that, even trying to recreate that on my phone a few times tonight on a couple of reboots. Messaging app for me is ridiculously fast as well. Cannot comment on battery life as haven't had it installed long enough, but if it IS better than stock ICS, I will be happy as I could easily get a full day of heavy use (work phone, so constant emailling, texting, lots of calls and games too as I get bored easily :P) before and still have 40% left by the time I went to bed.

Jellybean for me so far is a massive :good: :highfive:
[Galaxy S III General] plasmastate:
-15 Button Toggle slows down for me too (Nice catch btw)

- Browser stutter (YES Same here)

- Dialer, contacts and messages open very slow when opening for the first time. To see this issue, clear all open apps, then clear RAM, try opening dialer, contacts or messages afterwards.

Hey Guys,

I've flashed the Poland XXDLIB onto my GS3, however, now I want to root my phone. I do not know where to find the Insecure Kernel for the XXDLIB ROM.

What do I do? Does it matter which kernel I use?

Also, why does Australia not have a kernel?

CSC Solved.

I had a Samsung S3 with stock firmware before flashing. After flashing the firmware I had the same problem with CSC like many people had.

[Galaxy S III General] tqgia2:
I did exactly, no wipe and was experiencing media battery drain. To test I took out my SD card and removed photos from phone (backed up onto PC) and now no drain from media at all.

My guess is either

A) one of the files is corrupted and causing media scanner to freeze

B) media scanner bug causing it to constantly scan, no proof on either but I'll make note to the battery consumption as I start adding more media

Hey there,

I've re-flashed my SGS3 about 5-6 times, but still the CSC remains unknown. Don't know what the heck is going on. Anyway, I'll wait for the BTU version, and hope it'll solve the issue.

Neither *#272*IMEI#, nor the apps from google play won't allow me to change the CSC :(.

Maybe I've missed a step, but I don't think so...

no you havent missed a step lol for some people the reflash works and for others it doesnt. For me it did work and KKies is connecting but i cant do any updating etc.

To all the smart geeks out there:

I really want back the old google search used in ICS. You know, the black themed one which launches when you hold in the option button.

Why would I like to change highly praised Google now to the old search-variant? Because I think Google Now search is slower, more bloated and do not offer anything to me. It's also white-themed and ugghly! And it does not show my last opened apps.

I have always used search so that it only searches for apps on the phone.

-The question is which .apk do I need to change. And what is the name of the old search .apk?

Great info posted here on how to update to this Stock Rom. I'm new to all this so I just want to confirm I have understood the situation correctly. Please would someone be kind enough to Check I have understood correctly for my situation?

First the phone info (think this is all I need?).

- I Have a UK SG3 on Vodafone carrier. Completely stock.

- Settings -> About Device;

Model Number = GT-I9300​

Baseband Version = I9300BULG2​

- *#1234#;

AP: I9300BUBLG3​

CP: I9300BULG2​

CSC: I9300VFGBLG3​

- CSC setting = VOD

So If I want to apply this Official 4.1 (Polish) Rom I follow the instructions on the 1st page of this thread;

The First Part will flash this Rom to my phone, I can select a UK language but my carrier (CSC) will be messed up?

The Second Part I can select UK Vodafone as my carrier and that will set that correctly for me and everything will function as if it were an official UK Vodafone, KIES and subsequent OTA updates should work fine?

If there were any issues, once the UK Vodafone Rom gets released I could simply flash that via the same ODI route or even go back to the most recent 4.0.4 official Vodafone firmware hosted here and just update though OTA updates to latest official?

Or Does baseband firmware get updated and stop you going back?

Any chance any of this will stop phone / 3G part functioning ?

I would really appreciate someone confirming this or setting me straight if I have got it wrong I just want to make sure I'm applying the excellent information posted here to my situation correctly.

Many Thanks.

Install older version (2.2.2)

on google play says its 222 but when you install it it is 223. anyway this was problem with red barely visible led next to the speaker (to the right side). so uninstall viber for a solution or install older version than 223 until they repare it.
