yes (I downloaded it from samfirmware and loaded it into mobile odin, did keep root, and still have it)
[Galaxy S III General] 10076757:
so in order to get this on a rooted unbranded phone, you have to download the firmware from post 1, put phone in download mode, flash via odin, once you flash via odin, this breaks root, so you have to re-root

[Galaxy S III General] SwiftSmoke:
Actually kies will work with the device rooted, what usually happens is the root is removed during update and requires rerooting. This is definately the case with CF-root methods not 100% certain with other methods as ive only used cf root so far.
[Galaxy S III General] enigma1981:
Yeah, that's right, I used the old-school Odin method to root mine and my girlfriend's phones and when I updated hers via Kies, I needed to re-root it after updating.

You can't update OTA if rooted as it won't work with a custom recovery, but Kies works just fine :) (provided your csc picks up an available update)

Personally I don't know why XDA users still use Kies - use Odin (or Mobile Odin), it's just as straight forward as Kies and it's a much better (not to mention faster!) application
[Galaxy S III General] chavocarlos:

[Galaxy S III General] Lui-g:
I started getting a freezing gallery, and so updated to LL4 three days ago (Mobile Odin).

After recovering many apps through Titanium, the phone completely froze in different places a couple of times.

Later, the next day, it was completely frozen with a blue LED - tried everything and nothing happened. I held the power button for a few seconds, and the phone went into a boot loop.

I then flashed LL4 via Odin, with full wipe, wiped the Dalvik cache a few times, re-flashed LL4 again with Odin, but I still get the occasional freeze.

Gonna try the ELLA one now, but I don't trust my phone at the moment...

So what's the deal with dying S3 phones - I read a brief comment about it saying something along the lines of the phone dying after 180 days - but I've had mine since the UK launch day... Are Samsung fixing these dead phones for free? Mine's on Three contract (no insurance).

Thanks in advance.

Let me see if I understand this correctly... The fix for the well known sudden death problem on the galaxy s3 is in the bootloader of this new firmware? So if I flash this new firmware using mobile Odin the bootloader will not be flashed, so no fix.. Am I right??

[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
Yes if you flash with mobile Odin bootloader will not be flashed. Only with pc Odin.

So we should only flash this firmware using Odin pc or Kies...

Best would be with PC Odin not Kies.

This should fix the sudden death but i think its too early to say if its fixed or not. I guess we will see soon, important is that samsung is trying to fix things.

I was running stock ELL4 UK BTU but rooted, and now just flashed this ELLA firmware from UK using Odin pc like you said, without any wipe and since I lost root, I root it again using cf-auto-root from chainfire, is it OK? How did you root your s3?

1) CSC Select don´t work in this new firmware (XXELLA).

2) If you install a custom recovery mode, a small red exclamation mark appears at the top left, at the moment you enter in the recovery mode. And the counter of customs firmware is incremented, and the status changes to custom.
[Galaxy S III General] Nees3:
And the exclamation mark cannot be removed with triangle away? So better wait before updating to this and root? Or will a flash to stock-rom fix the issue?

Used triangle away on the previous BTU release, and all is fine.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
You need to flash stock everything (recovery, kernel) then run triangle away and wipe data from recovery and it will go.

You might also have to be really fast to boot to download mode to flash stock rom to stop it coming back, from what some people have been saying the flash counter has become more intellegent, if you just run triangle away, and let it reboot it will find any recovery or kernel (even .img files on the sd card) and trip the counter back to 1.
[Galaxy S III General] olavopb:
Ok!!! I know it!!

and to correct CSC???

I do it:

Flash XXELL4 BTU

run CSC select

Flash XXELLA

The denvelopes of CSC Select and CWM will take work!!!

This is not the case

The only way is:

Flash XXELL4 BTU

run CSC select

Flash XXELLA

And... don´t use custom recovery.
[Galaxy S III General] Squall-Leonhart:
you should be able to get away with simply flashing the cache.img from XXELL4, changing the csc and flashing the cache.img from XXELLA

or maybe not..... (tested)

Hi guys, I need a bit of help. I'm currently using LKC with the Polish XEO CSC. Stock although rooted. I've gone to flash the new LLA ROM today however my micro USB cable has unfortuantley failed on me and is no longer accepted by either of my two PCs, it'll now only charge. I'm coincidentally already awaiting the arrival of another cable but it may be another week or so.

Is it possible to switch my CSC to BTU (from XEO) using Mobile Odin (currently installed) so that I can un-root and use OTA to update to LLA. The CSC changer in the store won't let me go to BTU from XEO, but is there anything I can flash with Mobile Odin that'll switch me to BTU? Thanks guys.

i have read somewhere that it mean there is exploitable holes that could be expose phone to malicious apps.

i read tat it was 1 of possibility of sudden death, is that true?
[Galaxy S III General] Squall-Leonhart:
no, its the firmware archive.

it can be opened with winrar or 7zip and the .img files unpacked.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
The Exynos exploit is a bug in the firmware of the Exynos 4412 and 4210 chipsets which lets a person easily root the device. Now, while this may sound like a good thing for developers, it's bad for us since hackers may create an app that gains root access to our phone. Then, they can do a lot of bad things to our devices! That's not good! So, that has been fixed.

Also, it is rumoured that this is the update which fixes the sudden death issue. Android Authority mentioned that an update to prevent sudden death was coming (http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...cted-official-samsung-firmware-update-143834/). This may be the update they were referring to. Or, we may get another update this month.

However it goes, I highly recommend the next few updates to all users!

Guys, don't bother with recovery, flash by Mobile Odin and simple clean the recovery partition. This way you never replace your CWM recovery when flash new stock rom.

[Galaxy S III General] Nees3:
Did you also install CWM?
[Galaxy S III General] Serdxx:
so, basically, in order to be complete 0 on flash counter, flash stock rom(fast), run TA, and wipe data from recovery?

is this solve the problem on red exclamation that other users report?

and will it changed the status to normal?

[Galaxy S III General] Siberian Tiger:
Use triangle away to reset your counter.

Pull out battery and go to download mode and flash a stock rom.

And then go to recovery and make a wipe.

Notice that if you wipe in stock recovery your internal sd card will be wiped too, so back up everything you need. :)

so, sir, can i update to latest XXELLA from KIES or OTA, by changing my csc to BTU?(my current fw is XXELL5, if it not possible with XXELL5,

on XXELL4, which is for BTU csc(default, if i am not wrong)?)

need confirm, Latest :

1. bootloader fix sudden death?

2. kernel fix Exynos exploit?

if i wanna flash the entire rom (kernel, fw, bootloader, etc), which one would be better?

From KIES or ODIN? i read some ppl say ODIN, but some say KIES..

and then, for last,

procedure :

1.flash XXELLA fw from ODIN(currently before sir answer my Qs), and then flash BTU csc from XXELL4(if i am not mistake from Perka. is also csc from XXELL4? need confirm that),

2. finally, i will get stock Rom, and i ll need to re-root wih cf root, flash philz touch cwm, and after follow below step to clear the red ! on custom recovery and follow this :

this for Red! issues on custom recovery and flash counter problem
