Why is the kernel insecure? Does it think it's too fat? :p
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
It's packed as a standard firmware, then zipped so download and extract as normal and flash with Odin/mobile Odin
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Insecure = ro.secure=0 and ro.debuggable=1 set in the kernel's default.prop

Allows for adb in root mode. :)

i root my phone,i changed the csc in BTU,run triangle away and reset the counter,factory reset and i flash it with this firmware...

Uk S3 Small Issue

Hi All ...

My first post here so be gentle .

When i recieve texts from people in my contact list it always shows the name of the contact then there number underneath but the number is in the international format , ie +44 number format.

My contact numbers are stored in the proper 077 format.

Im in the UK and the texts are from UK so why the international format.

Dont know if it matters but i bought the phone sim free from a well known large retailer in the UK .

Its a trivial little issue but its annoying me
[Galaxy S III General] Rahabhim:
Thanks for this, im downloading the BTU firmware, now I have a silly question:

I Currently have the I9300UBALF5 from Panama (PCW), can I use CF-root 6.4 to root the panama firm and then flash the BTU via mobile odin?

I mean, will the CF-root work on the panama version?

Pd: Its my first flash on the I9300 :P, understand me :P
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
ROOT works any as per the post .

[Galaxy S III General] fasty:
Hi Prozmonkey, welcome to the forum.

Let me answer your question in a slightly round-about way:

I always store all my contact numbers in the phone in the full +44 number format. That way, wherever I am in the world, I can dial direct from the contact list without worry. If you save the number starting with a "0" and the UK area code, you are likely to get a problem if you start roaming abroad as each number might correspond to a different foreign local number.

Don't worry, you shouldn't pay any more to dial them with +44!

Going back to your specific question, imagine that you save a number from an incoming text. Saved exactly "as is" it should work anywhere, but without the country code it will only be valid in UK.

So, in my opinion, "+44" etc is a "more correct" description of the number.

Someone else might correct me if I'm wrong and ICS has a more clever way of handling country codes!

Hey, Aussie friends...

[Galaxy S III General] Nicholas68:
I have the international S3, purchased in australia outright unlocked. But I only just received I9300XXALF2, which is like a month late. If I flash to the latest version, then will I receive the OTA updates with everyone else? Really frustrating me at the moment not getting them. Also is rooting required to flash a stock rom?

Also one other thing, does flashing with that provided rom update and keep all my data, or is it a complete wipe rom, so I have to start from scratch? Or does backing up in kies work?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] tanseerj:
I can confirm that the issue is indeed with the Kernel on LFB, this breaks MTP connectivity with MAC.

I flashed back to LF2 kernel and it's connecting perfectly again. So now I'm on LFB rom using LF2 kernel and all seems well.

I flashed the UK fw using Odin. CSC still shows up as AFR when I check using my imei. Is that okay?
[Galaxy S III General] ratsalad:
Try doing a Factory Data Reset it should change the CSC to the one in the firmware. at least that's what I did.

Hi All, has anyone tried upgrading from I9300BUALF1 (Swisscom) to I9300XXBLFB ? Any big improvement? Thanks !!!
[Galaxy S III General] Dtguilds:
Hi,

I've just flashed the I9300XXBLFB firmware and when I go into #272 IMEI it only shows up ORA as a CSC? Shouldn't there be a few?

Before flashing the phone was on an Orange firmware.

Any help?
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
See stock rom thread to change CSC .

CSC depends upon what firmware you installed and what CSC are in that firmware .

Phone does not require a CSC to operate .

[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
They're the same, aren't they? And if you run stock without mods, then CSC doesn't matter anyway. Some custom roms use CSC tweaks (to enable a camera sound toggle, etc) but, yeah.
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Yes not much in it but there is a Rom I haven't flashed :)
[Galaxy S III General] syamsoul:
dear developer, please fix my phone.. :P

did some one have this problem in MC2?

after :-

1. rebooting

2. power on

3. after delete some file

the media scanner doesnt let my s3 sleep. its keep awake my device almost half of its battery life.

after 2 hours , the battery drop to 80% from 100%.

before this, (in LLC rom i think), this is because the blop file from nandroid backup. but now, i didnt have this file.

not happen in 4.2.1 leak rom.

instead of disable media scanner, is there any other option?

[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
? Flash the firmware
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Hey, guys! I was on MC2 and now I've flashed MC3 without wipe. Here are my impressions of the ROM;

Differences

:

NONE

! Absolutely nothing.

Issues That Occur Less Often

(also present in MC2):

Shadow redraws: Shadow redraws on app-drawer icons don't occur as often as before.

Touchwiz: The launcher stays in memory nearly 99% of the time now.

Negatives/Unresolved Issues/Bugs

:

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

Widgets drawer still has the initial loading lag.

Multitasking with games is still broken. You can't run two or more medium/heavy games in the background. One of them eventually restarts (if not instantly).

One finger expandable notifications are not present.

Contacts and Phone don't open instantaneously.

When recording a video, left and right audio is switched.

During Pop-up Play, clear type text is turned off and you can see jagged edges everywhere.

Recent Apps Tab still randomly forgets the most recently minimized application.

Recommended or not?

:

Not at all. It's exactly the same as MC2 on the outside (there may be under-the-hood improvements). Also, if you have a lot of applications and you flash without a wipe, you may experience minor stutters.

Hopefully they will fix the lag in Contacts/Dialer/SMS in 4.2
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Touchwiz staying in memory is an excellent thing. It has become more usable. It won't affect your battery life.

Please Help Me..!!

Hi,

I have purchased samsung galaxy S3 (I9300) from ebay (may be imported) but I do not know which country firmware it belongs to. I have rooted and installed custom CM ROM but now I want to revert back to Official Stock Jelly bean firmware due to some urgent reason. Can somebody link me the stock firmware shown in the attached pictures so that Kies can pick my phone for future updates? I am in India right now.

Also i want to know, which country firmware my device belong to....!!

Please answer me soon.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I am very sorry if I have posted in the wrong section
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
why u didnt made nandroid before installing CM :silly::rolleyes:

LLA is old ROM just download and install MC3 and u will be ok :good::D
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Doesn't matter if you're on the original firmware. You can still catch other countries' updates if you're on the correct CSC. Flash the latest BTU (MC2) and use the CSC switcher app (root required) to change to it BTU and then it'll reboot and wipe your data. Now you're able to get BTU updates which are generally quick.
[Galaxy S III General] mikailmohammed:
Whats the difference over EMC2?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Nothing noticeable. I'm beginning to think that not a damn thing has been changed and that I was just hyped before. :p
[Galaxy S III General] mikailmohammed:
LOL! Seems legit. Samsung need to bring the new updated version of android to the table. 4.2.2 hopefully.

Hmmm.... think we've been here before. Samsung won't be spending much effort on further development of 4.1.2 on the S3 unless there is a serious FU.

There are some big bugs (IMO) that are still existent in these current versions (EMC2/3).

1. The auto-correct feature on the default keyboard just doesn't work, the next word prediction feature is dire and I hate after-market keyboards.

2. Laggy dialler blah blah blah... (everybody moans about this haha)

3. Laggy Messaging app. Not so much when opening the app but when scrolling through texts, it's soo stuttery. C'mon son!

4. I detest the new Gallery app! It's so ram consuming and bulky/stuttery! The previous one was so lightweight and buttery smooth.

I know most of these have work arounds, but who wants to do that? I just want to own an Android phone and be an average user, but Sammy force me into flashing :/. I've owned all the previous Galaxy phones BTW.

Sorry I had to have a whinge haha, had to update from XXELLA (retro I know) today because I was getting sudden death symptoms!

And now I'm stuck with this lagfest! :'(

Feel free to ***** back or tell me to shut up...
[Galaxy S III General] Pard0ned:
Xxella had the sudden death "fix" too. If you were getting symptoms that might not be a good thing. I'd keep a hawks eye on the phone for the next couple days to see if the symptoms are still arising.
[Galaxy S III General] Kjc99:
XXELLA did come with some freezing issues do to the Sudden death patch hopefully it was only that.... XXEMB1 and later should have fixed freezing due to sudden death patch
[Galaxy S III General] parmizan:
Really? I thought the fix was first introduced in XXELKC, or is that firmware older than XXELLA?

I'll admit now that I haven't actually read through the sudden death symptoms, if there are any. But I have been experiencing random reboots recently, when the phone has not been in use, and just assumed they were related to it.

Thanks BTW, will keep an eye out like you said ;)
