My phone is the same after flashing, CSC says unknown and sales code can't be changed.

When you said that your messaging wasn't working, what did you mean? I can still receive text messages no problem, and haven't noticed anything wrong to be honest. What are the downsides of CSC showing as 'unknown'? I don't really want to factory reset unless it's absolutely necessary.

Thanks!

I finally got my OTA update to LFB - SIM free S3 running on O2 network.

My software update has now gone to the same message when I ask it to check for updates Elpibe
[Galaxy S III General] Mixomaniak:
Well I'm from Serbia and I should choose TOP = SERBIA MONTENEG (that one was before flash, and http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=1&t=1 also says that's the right one) , but there isn't TOP in drop list :).

That might be a problem if phone needs to go to service:).
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
changes seen so far:

1. camera's phone fw version is updated to ZDFF03 from ZDFF02

2. when calling there's a phone animation before that anonymous(default) or contact's pic shows.

3. stock video player can now load the subtitles that previous versions didn't and also loads the subtitles even in pop-up player mode.

4. i need others to confirm this with me because i think this version picks up bass much better than all other previous versions.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
Yes it would/could be a problem going into service - but that's because your not on an official rom for YOUR region.

Once it comes out for your region, the CSC should be available.

Will be probably called something else, like LG7/9 for Asia

thanks for the info - and yeah I had a sneaky suspicion that it is a little more bassy....but I don't know if that's just me lol

and you are on ZDF? INTERESTING!

As I think that might be a SONY camera module (i could be wrong)

I guess since I am in the US, it really doesn't matter that my CSC code is on XEF (France) instead of BTU (UK).. correct?? :)
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
Correct :p

What CSC do you usually use in the USA?
[Galaxy S III General] Sortvind:
Noob question!

I know that upgrading firmware normally while rooted, is a nono.

but i dont have to unroot when doing it through Odin?
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
Usually any Western European (UK, France, Germany..etc) CSC works the best for me. Every once in a while a firmware will include a South American CSC, but that's very rare.
[Galaxy S III General] z4ppy:
Anyone?

Also, given I'm on Optus (Australia), would I require to flash CSC etc as well if wanting to use I9300XXBLFB for example or can I simply just flash the firmware and be good to go?

I realise you may feel that way, but given the amount of time/work usually put in this kind of tasks compared to what is required of you to get it (a 2min registration on a new forum), i believe it would be kind of polite towards the dev to at least not verbalize it.

[Galaxy S III General] RsOnAndroid:
Yes, you can (I did too). However, given the issues on this ROM, I would recommend you wait for another version. Of course, it depends if any of those issues impact you (except the lag to wake, but that can be fixed).

Can you guys give me the answer, after reading a lot of topics, I am confused now, my question is come from the things that with wanam 4.3 custom ROM, the instruction for flashing said that we have to flash modem XXEMG4 (to change EFSV1 to EFS V2) before flashing 4.3 custom ROM for the issue of imei and network [1].

But in this topic, some guys have proved that they can directly flash 4.3 official ROM from 4.1.2 official ROMs which have older modem with EFSV1 (e.g. XXEMC2 or XXEMC3) [2] .

I also saw a lot of guys that have been lost they imei and network because they flashed from ROMs with older modem than XXEMG4 in the topic about the issue of imei and mobile network.

So, I have a think that does this have a contradiction betweent [1-custom ROM] and [2-Official ROM]. What is the right thing or I was wrong in reading the mentioned topics? :confused:

In addition, I see that switzerland and Ireland have 4.3 official ROM. When I see the their previous 4.1.2 official ROMs, they are all have XXEMG4 modem or baseband. Is it the reason for the 4.3 ROM earlier update?

Could you guys help me to clarify this? I can clarify by directly flashing from my 4.1.2 ROM with XXEMF6 modem (EFSV1) but I am not dare....

Thank you very much!

XXUGMG9 experience

I flashed XXUGMG9 yesterday over XXEMJ2 and then flashed yank555's kernel (4.0 beta2+) to fix the lockscreen lag and give some control over settings. Overall the ROM

looked

OK, but I have had terrible battery drain. I normally reckon on 3-4% an hour with 4.1.2 but I was getting 10%+ per hour with the phone idle on 4.3.

I debloated by removing the Vodafone stuff but could not determine the cause of the drain - it was all Android System OS / Android System and BBS was not a lot of help in pointing to the cause either.

For now I have gone back to XXEMJ2 with the Boeffla Kernel 3.2 which works well for me for now until the memory drain cause becomes known as it is not usable with 10%+/hour.

Incidentally the BUUGMJ3 modem works OK with the XXEMJ2 4.1.2 build although I have re-flashed the XXEMG4 modem since.

Note also that TriangleAway 3.10 does

not

work with this XXUGMG9 and yank555-4.0-beta2+ combination - not sure if it's 4.3 or the kernel though.

[Galaxy S III General] wlting:
after 3 days used, finally i flash back to 4.1.2.... battery drain badly, lock screen no respone just like everyone face it with ori firmware. Anyway, 4.3 speed really impresse me, overall phone feel smooth and faster than 4.1. can't wait for other official stable 4.3 firmware, i believe will be a nice samsung firmware for S3...
[Galaxy S III General] lovleshgarg:
How does this look like?? Pretty good for me :P

Yank beta kernel with Yank default settings and official Samsung 4.3 ROM.

This is on 3G only mode and internet on all time. I think I might get 5+ hrs screen on time and 20+ hrs total before I need to put it on charge :)

[Galaxy S III General] hurdlejade:
as other people have stated, this rom has many improvements, but it also fails in many cases.

i randomly loose mobile connection, it acts like sim was taken out, and then after few minutes it works again.

sometimes it takes few secs to wake up the phone from deep sleep.

paired with gear, and with very little to none usage on S3 battery drain is about 10%/hour.
[Galaxy S III General] pnKK:
How did you rolled it back to stock 4.1.2? After i flashed back the official 4.1.2 through ODIN my IMEI is missing and I'v got the No Network Registered problem, after that i'v flashed back the 4.3. Now i am stuck on 4.3, this is the only one that i can make phone calls and my IMEI is ok. I'v had read about EFS restor/backup but i want to keep my phone on official state.
[Galaxy S III General] whiskerp:
What version did you flash back to? It will need to be something newer than XXEMG4 I think unless you have an efs backup. I restored XXEMJ2 ROM from nandroid and it worked with the 4.3 modem before I reflashed the modem back to XXEMG4.

4.3 update

Hi I carried out a clean wipe as below and it seems to have sorted out the issues you raise. Hope this helps. :)

If the device encounter any issue such as FC or Bootlooop, with the firmware installation, then boot the phone in recovery mode. Press and hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons together. In recovery mode, perform data wiping task by selecting Wipe data/factory reset. Then reboot the phone by selecting reboot system now. In recovery mode, use Volume keys to scroll between options and Power button to select any option. Performing wiping task will erase all data including internal SD card of the device.
[Galaxy S III General] mrstatler:
I made the same.

First flash I9300XXALEF (3 files with pit) - NO IMEI , NO NETWORK

Then I9300XXEMG4 , CF-Auto root , PhilZ Recovery, Omega 50.1 and waiting ...

[Galaxy S III General] whiskerp:
That is very very old. It is also EFSv1 to will not work once you have had your EFS upgraded to v2 by flashing 4.3. Unless you have an EFS backup, you can not go back to anything older than XXEMG4. I suggest you try XXEMH1 as it seems to work well.

[Galaxy S III General] whiskerp:
Yes, thanks. I had seen a few people report that they had no battery drain problems and reckoned a full wipe was the next step. But I want to take some more settings backups and APK/Data backups in MyBackup Pro to ease the pain of a full wipe. I think I will wait however for a little bit more stability in the ROM before going through this hassle!

[Galaxy S III General] LancelotSA:
This thread is getting mighty confusing. I personally keep an eye on it for updates and feedback on official firmwares only. Now I come here and there is talk of rooting, different kernels, different modems etc. The worst part is that we then get feedback and reviews on all of these too and it becomes a mission to separate the comments relating to the official from everything else. I would like this thread to ONLY tell us about the official firmware.

If you have Xposed framework installed, do try a module called 'Tinted Status Bar'. It changes the color of status bar based on the color of the active app...its damm awesome. Like play store will make status bar green, white for gmail and you tube etc.

Most of the applications are supported (all the ones who support holo design guidelines). It is available in the Xposed repository and also with in Xposed installer app under Modules section.

Like most of you, I've also had problems with this firmware where the unlock screen is lag, the music stops when the screen is locked, the battery drain very fast, with over 50% of the Android OS, and then I typed in *#2663# TSP / TSK firmware update, and then I did TSP FW update (kernel binary) and TSP FW update (internal storage) which failed, and Touch key FW update. First impression is that everything is working properly... I listened music an hour and did not stop. Unlock screen without lag... :D

I realy don't know what is TSP / TSK firmware update and why this is hidden but it look like it's working...

I hope that this will help someone...
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
affects the performance alot! from what it looks like it updates the key binary (power button, home button and volume buttons)

also im pretty sure anyone who wants to apply this do so with abit of battery as if you dont, sounds like it will hard brick your device rendering the buttons useless.
