[Galaxy S III General] theantilag:
Why are you asking it here and not in the slimbean thread? I think you'll get a better answer there.

I tried to flag this rom this evening but failed coz in odin wen i selected this file to flash it said hash check failed.. Now should i download this rom file agaon.?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
If the hash check failed, it's usually a sign that the file is broken, or you didn't extract it properly.

The file you're flashing with Odin shouldn't be a .zip file. It should be a .tar.md5 file (if it's a zip, extract it to get to the tar file) and be put in the PDA section of Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] Chlorophyll:
how silly it is??

how could u say that i flashed a ZIP file,am not so dumb..i flashed TAR file only but it failed,so flashed again XXEMC3 firmware..

bought 2day new s3..so tried to flash new firmware.
[Galaxy S III General] Sleepycat3:
You did ask a very basic question on whether you should download it again......

If you had downloaded the ZIP or RAR and it extracted fine but your TAR file fails the check, then something was wrong with the zipped file prior to uploading. Try downloading it from a different source.

If your download had corrupted data, the unzipping/unraring would have shown a CRC check error message.
[Galaxy S III General] Chlorophyll:
K thanks dude.. Wil download it again.

i think the OP needs to be updated as it might confuse other users. The bolded text says ME3 when in fact the actual links says ME2 :)
[Galaxy S III General] golcheck:
If changelog is the same and firmwares are the same and only version is different then why did they release it?
[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
It might be just a bug fixing release stated only for that country. I assume they're having connectivity issues (wifi,3g etc) since they changed the modem/baseband to an older one but that's just my guess since I'm no expert on these releases lol.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Mmmm... Yup. I agree! :good:
[Galaxy S III General] reS28raM:
Just 3g probably, wifi depends on kernel.
[Galaxy S III General] JohnnyGT:
any one got it on Mega yet please (new ME2) ?
[Galaxy S III General] danieldp1990:
anything NEW?

sooo is there anything new for the XXEME2?
[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
Answer:

So... like DeadSOL said it's just same with MD3 so no changes. ME2 is basically MD3 just different modem/baseband.

yes Changelist can be the same, but it may have some changes.

[Galaxy S III General] robinthakur:
Stupid question but...

I bought an HK version SGS3 which has some chinese menus still (like device power -on encryption) which I want to get rid of before I sell it. Am I correct in thinking that I just need to replace the CSC file with the UK one or would you guys advise me to just replace the PDA rom with the 1 file UK unbranded one which I'm downloading using Fus? Apologies for the deeply noob question, it's my first Android device after a lifetime of iOS :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] stkf10:
i just now use 7zip and extract the files its just become one files
[Galaxy S III General] robinthakur:
One more thing

Is it normal that I keep getting crc check errors when I download the firmwares from here? I've tried from the front page link about 10 times, and each time it fails on unzip with a crc error in 7zip and winrar. Usinf Fus, it does the same at 99%:crying:
[Galaxy S III General] Sango2:
It sounds like you're wanting to remove Chinese completely. In that case you could just get the whole UK ROM and flash with PDA and then change the CSC.

You can get it at Sammobile. One can always change back to the HK/CHINA rom since it's also on there.

I was actually playing with the HK/CHINA rom a while ago since I have the UK one, but then changed it back.

Yes, there are changes. Don't think there is a sticky of what the list of them are as they are scattered in this thread.

One of the changes I notice is that when you do the pull down from the top of the screen, the screen brightness/auto is present now and the way the contact list of people display when you look at the info is a bit different.

I went back to ICS 4.0.4 I9300XXBLH1_I9300OXFBLH1_I9300XXLH1_HOME.tar (this one came with my phone) to check out the heating issues. I think they are related to WiFi and 3G. Even though I'm near the router phone gets really hot downloading.

Looking back at this version... it's really neat. Phone is fast as f*ck and there is no lag in the dialer and contacts app like on Jelly Bean. I can't believe they screwed everything up in Jelly Bean :(

Any fix or workaround for the WiFi overheating my phone?
[Galaxy S III General] crixalis:
They will make this s3 very slow and obsolete phone with new upgrade.

Be careful with ics because you can get SDS, jb has fix for sds. Heating at 40º is not that hot if outside temp is high.
[Galaxy S III General] enigma1981:
That's wrong, as far as I'm aware there were no recorded cases of sudden death while running ics, that issue arose with the early releases of jb

Swyped from my Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk 4 beta.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
The wear leveler was still faulty back then and no SDS patch had been sent out, and I think that a lot of people confused the sudden death issues for the unexplainable lag that sometimes occurred, which was a good sign that the fix was working.
[Galaxy S III General] Chlorophyll:
S i confirm there were so many recorded cases of SDS while running ICS.. I experienced lot many times
[Galaxy S III General] Alexcxvtr:
So, just read DEADSol's review in previous posts and he clearly reccommends MD3 update cuz of the RAM usage improvement.

I'm currently with MC2. Should I update to MD3 due to RAM issues or this happens only to those who updated to MD2?

Also, are there any review or quick notes about EME2 to help me decide if updating is a must thing?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Well, I remember MC2 working fine. If you don't see any delays when you switch between apps or when you open an app up, you can stay on MC2. :)

I think ME2 will be the same as MD3 so you can flash either one if you want to be on the latest release!
[Galaxy S III General] Autourdupc:
XXEME2 no so good in battery drain.

Previously, the drain was 5% during a night (8 hours). Now it is 10% !

I also notice an app. crash (Waze) I didn't have with XXEMD3.
[Galaxy S III General] shoames:
are you reporting after a full wipe?
[Galaxy S III General] Autourdupc:

I never full wipe my device... I only change the firmware and use it as usual.

Bit now i only have one MD5. is this also flashing another csc and modem? Cause that is my point by doieng this. I just want stock back :)

But in a way i also get OTA updates.

As it says you have I9300XXEME2 firmware with CEELL1 Modem and PHNEME2 CSC in one MD5 file .

OTA will only update if phones codes are 100% original same with KIES .

But too bad we can't live in ICS world forever..if you are rooted xposed framework+per app settings helps a lot to lock critical apps in memory. Otherwise just use ex-dialer, its an awesome replacement to stock dialer and very light weight.

I'm really happy with MC2, and considering your review, I might stick with it a little bit more.

[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Oh, but you're still using TouchWiz. TouchWiz is the entire UI, the framework, and you're only saved from that if you're running an AOSP rom. Are you perhaps referring to TouchWiz Home, the stock launcher within TouchWiz? It is incorrectly referred to as "TouchWiz".

It's like calling the stock launcher in Sense 5 for "Sense", when the correct name is Prism.
