There is no best really, just choose the one from your country, or leave it as is if you don't have any issues.
[Galaxy S III General] brainimpact:
just thought I'd give you an update

I formatted, wiped cach, factory reset everything and problem still persists.

One thing I have noticed every time I turn screen on I see "SD CARD UNEXPECTEDLY REMOVED" then it thinks its been reinserted and behaves as normal so its maybe external Micro SD related and if its doing that continuously when device screen is off then it would explain why media scanner continuously is running.

what you think?

I'm doing a proper deep format of my SD using my PC see if that fixes anything. never had these problems before the update
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Remove ur sd card and see if the problem persists before u do anything else.

OK ....... with ELLA (latest Europe BTU rom) i am save against the eMMC bug or do i need to flash like the Persues kernel to be safe as its confusing if ELLA has fixes included or not ?
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
For emmc bug I would say flash a custom kernel. Xxella has fixed the exynos mem exploit and sudden death issue which is different AFAIK.

But I haven't heard of the emmc bug in a while to be honest.

Hi guys, I installed the latest ELLA UK (BTU) on my S3 using odin since until now 4.1.2 is not yet available in my country.

I just noticed that theres an extra applications installed together with this firmware, the applications are chrome, groupcast music hub, video hub, paper artist, play books, play movies and TV... These are not in my phone before I flash this firmware.

I tried to open these apps and it looks like it is not working in my country. Can I safely uninstall those apps? (PS: I dont want to use chrome so I think I'd like to unistall this also)
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
I have, I don't need anything multimedia related so I removed all the new stuff as well as a whole heap that I always remove. I don't like the flashbar much so that's gone too! :)

Hi there is there anyone who can confirm if the SDS and Exynos fix are in the dutch XXEL4 or XXEL5??

and if the fix is included in these updates is there a way to flash them trought kies with the method like the XELLA....

How can i check what serial i have to use for the dutch then?

Open Kies -> Select Tools -> Select Firmware Upgrade and Initialization -> Enter Model "GT-I9300"

Enter Serial "RF1C56VAJYF".

Hi!

Any infos or reviews for the XXELLA LUX firmware?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S III General] Guantanamo86:
oh thanks, so i've misunderstood this, i thought the wallpaper now moved with the scrolling on the homescreen.

edit: oh my god, i hate my english^^
[Galaxy S III General] cromozone:
Just checked and power saving was off, I've put it on and it has no effect on this problem. Hard to describe, and hard to capture on camera as it's happening so fast... basically in the message compose screen you've got grey colour around the compose box, but above this where the message bubbles are shown the background is black. What I'm seeing as when you first load the message thread, the thread flies in from the right, while the animation is happening the background is the same colour grey as the grey around the compose box, once the thread has finished 'flying in', the background behind the thread turns black.

If no one else is seeing this, perhaps I need to wipe? I was on the Vodafone firmware before this, and just flashed using Odin without doing a factory reset as I was under the impression that things would be reset anyway, when starting up again I was pleasantly surprised to see all my stuff and settings still sitting there!

Thanks again!

Battery Fixed

Remember when you unplugged charger when it reached 100% = well now it stays on 100% not immediately drops to 99% - Does this mean they have fixed the potential/suspected Cell Standby power drain or just the battery is better calibrated?

Edit: Power output screen displays 80% screen and only 20% Cell standby when the screen had been off mostly in that time.
[Galaxy S III General] Cyb3rGlitch:
I spoke to a Samsung engineer and asked them to remove app specific brightness control (like on the stock browser). He said they were going to do this.

Since this is going to take me a while to download, so can someone check this for me?

Also, is there a way to upgrade this ROM without wiping?
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
Your english is fine bro

right I THINK i know what you mean.

on the msg app - you have a list of people u text -> background is JET BLACK

but yet when you open a msg from a person, the background is blueish black?

I don't get a flicker of any sort, just the colour of the background is different.

let me take a picture.
[Galaxy S III General] Cyb3rGlitch:
Probably means they hard programmed it to stay at 100% for x amount of seconds to stop morons complaining.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
amazing!

CONFIRMED :)

There is still the option for "colours" which denotes the power saving level.

but the brightness thing is gone!

[Galaxy S III General] Guantanamo86:

Is there any harm in upgrading with kies rather than Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
yup, that's northing near to mine bro - I'de wipe.

Although ur txt msgs will be lost and contacts ON PHONE will be lost too...

see my colour on the 2nd screen, after the flash, remains the same - i get btw, no flash effect, the colour is solid.

hope u can see the pics...if not let me know.
[Galaxy S III General] Fornowagain:
Harm? No, just not very reliable. Not compared to Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
the harm is you painfully waiting for kies to download then flash 9which by the end will take around 5hrs)

I'm exaggerating, no there's no problem lol - just kies is painfully (why did manfully come up as a suggestion? lmfao) slow.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

vice versa - ur more likely to brick a phone via odin, rather than via kies.

let's see us put PIT files and CSC files in kies for example ;)
[Galaxy S III General] cromozone:
Cheers for checking that. I'll wipe and start again. Is it OK to restore texts using Kies at the end? Everything else I can get again easily enough... not much on the phone yet :-)
[Galaxy S III General] bubu23:
if i just flash this via odin will i loose root?

and if i do can i flash cf-root kernel 6.4 and ill get it back?
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
well - u SHOULD be able to yes -although can't 100% guarantee it.

How are u wiping?

STOCK recovery, and wiping?

If so, jsut to be on the safe side, back up your internal SD card

You shouldn't lose root, if I'm not mistaken - regardless, flash 6.4 is no problem :)
[Galaxy S III General] cromozone:
I'm completely stock here... so I think the process is, choose factory reset from the settings menu, then flash, then? I take it there's no way to wipe things from the stock recovery? Sorry for sounding like an idiot - have come from HTC devices so I'm not 100% familiar with the process. Assuming everything is stock, what's the best way to flash this and start again from scratch?

Thanks :-)
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
u can do it either way:

wipe from STOCK recovery, before or AFTER the flash.

I suggest AFTER flashing the new firmware :)

See OP - ull see me going back to stock - but don't wipe via "settings" or else ull lose your internal sd card things!

Hi,

I have a stock unrooted LK4 running. I want to update to UK LLA firmware

1. Without rooting

2. Without the new bootloader too i.e. Only Rom and Kernel

3. Ofcourse it shouldn't show modified or increase the flash counter :D

4. Change CSC to INU without root

Can anyone let me know what steps to follow?

I did read through some posts but still confused. :confused: Don't throw words at me :(

No heating problems here.

Heat = cpu active all the time, possibly stuck at 1400Mhz and hard draining.

Sorry to ask noob question, I'm new to galaxy S3 and samsung.

Flashing XXELLC firmware from the first post with the instructions given will void my warranty? :

Instructions For Flashing Firmware:•Extract the firmware

•Open the included Odin

•Turn off your device

•Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)

•Click PDA and select *.tar.md5

•Then finally click START!

I just never understood why people even want to change CSC. I flash every latest firmware whatever country it is coming from. Never had any problems with Hebrew or Russian on every one of them.

Do I miss something here? Maybe I also want to change CSC but I just don't know it?

Ok! I flash your multiCSC package.

In dialer, *#1234# I have: CSC I9300OXADLJ4 !! The correct would be I9300PHEELL3 ??!!

In the apk CSC Select (package), we don´t have OXA CSC (I think OXA is European CSC, and PHE Spain), but have PHE.

I Select PHE !

Okay, new here with a question I couldn't find an answer for:

[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Hmmm... Let's compare the two ROMS:

ELLA: Changelist 742798 (Build Date: 22 December 2012)

ELLC: Changelist 764725 (Build Date: 28 December 2012)

I don't think there will be any visible difference between the ROMS. It'll probably be under-the-hood tweaks. So, I might stick with ELLA for a little while unless someone discovers that ELLC has fixed the sudden-death issue (which I doubt).

I'm downloading it, nevertheless, and will report back if I see any changes! :)

[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Why do you guys need a specific csc anyways? Having another CSC than what you're used to won't give you a worse reception or anything. I mean, if OTA updating concern you, then why do you flash other countries' firmwares?

EDIT: Going through settings and I now notice a "sound and vibration" box that I know wasn't there on LLA.
[Galaxy S III General] olavopb:
Kies, Normal Status, checkfus, ota, productcode

And also for the same reason which led the developer to make the CSC Select app.
[Galaxy S III General] Klampf:
At least I'm not concerned about OTA firmware updates. I just never found any info, if flashing a different CSC than the current (or a multi-CSC that doesn't contain the current CSC) will result in a factory reset as if I would manually change CSC with the CSC changer app for instance.
[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
As this new ELLC firmware includes a sboot.bin file and the other one I can't remember it's name, if I already flashed ELLA using pc Odin which obviously updated my bootloader, can I just flash this new ELLC just using mobile Odin so the bootloader won't be flashed as it is the same as ELLA I suppose?

Or do I need to flash this new one with pc Odin and get my bootloader updated again?

Thanks for the help!

[Galaxy S III General] Perka:

You dont have to flash the bl.
[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
Mmm.. So what do you recommend? Flashing it or not? I don't know what to do... If flash it with odin pc and then root it using cf-auto-root and then flashing back stock recovery using mobile Odin to be safe (I don't need a custom recovery anyway) or if flash it using mobile Odin pro and don't updated bootloader... I really don't care about the bootloader, but I guess samsung put it there for some reason...

Thanks in advance!

Why would you bother with kies if you flash firmwares with odin/mobile odin?

Again, why does this bother you? If you live in Europe, you need not worry. If your phone craps out, you have a legal right to get a warrant repair, unless the software changes you made caused the hardware to fail.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2092530

You can manually enter info in Checkfus

Again, why would you care with ota updating if you flash roms with odin/kies?

Huh?

[Galaxy S III General] olavopb:
ok.. but... have you any sugest to change CSC?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
If you can't change csc with root mode using the csc changer app, it's most likely that there is no multiCSC in the rom, that there's only one csc available. If so, I'm saying that it would maybe work to flash a multiCSC package, reboot and try again with CSC changer. If that doesn't find anything, I'd recommend making a factory reset (after having flashed the multiCSC package) and then download and try CSC changer again.

Tedious, but should work if you really have to change it.

Hey, review coming up.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Bla bla.......just so DeadSol gets his review at the top of a page!.....by request! :D
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Hey, everyone! I was on ELLA before. I just flashed ELLC without wiping. Here are my impressions of the ROM:

Stuff

:

Here's some stuff that I didn't catch before. This is not exclusive to ELLC so it's not new stuff. I apologize! I'm still adding it here, though! :o

1) Auto-Haptic: There seems to be a new Auto-Haptic option under Sound. Apparently, the device vibrates in response to sounds of downloadable apps and games. Oh, geez!!! Don't enable it and play Angry Birds (probably other games too). The phone will vibrate with the Angry Birds music (also for other games but I am not going to waste my battery trying that).

2) Gallery: Album names now scroll at the top if you have the Gallery open (when the name is too big to fit).

3) S-Planner: I don't remember seeing this in ELLA but now some of the calender entries will have a +1, +2, etc. to indicate how many entries are not visible in the main calender screen.

EDIT: I do apologize but people are pointing out that these features were there on a previous build. They're just standing out vividly right now so I've included them here. Plus, it's extra information for everyone! :D

Positives

:

1) Contacts/Phone: Both applications seem quicker to start. Well, quicker than ELLA and that wasn't slow. I've tried several restarts and cleared the RAM. They're definitely a LOT quicker to start though it's certainly nowhere near an instantaneous start.

EDIT 2: I've been experimenting with these two apps. If you open them once to put them in memory, these applications will start instantaneously even if you clear the RAM!!! Amazing, huh? If you close them from the recent apps (long press the menu button and close from there), these apps take one second to start up. Still pretty fast.

Negatives/Unresolved issues

:

1) Home button to prevent screen timeout still tied to S-Voice.

2) Widgets drawer still lags. It lags heavily if you have a lot of widgets!

3) Multitasking with games is still broken.

4) Launcher still redraws. Though only if you're a heavy multi-tasker or if you clear RAM.

5) One finger expandable notifications are still not present.

6) Contacts/Phone doesn't open instantly (but it's a lot faster). See Edit 2 above for details

7) Shadow redraws on Touchwiz are still present (they occur less frequently now).

8) The Recent App tabs may still forget your most recent app (it occurs less frequently now).

Should you download? I guess so. ELLA was okay, too. It's a minor improvement so if you're not feeling up for it, there's no need! If you are really bothered with the lag in Phone and Contacts, this update should really make more than half of that lag go away! :)

If there's any update on the sudden-death issue, I'll update this post.
