I got my S3 through Phones4U on a Vodafone contract but as I remember I didnt notice any Vodafone branding so does that mean I just have an unbranded phone, do I need to wait for the new Vodafone FW? Or can I just roll back to 4.0.4 and let them update today through OTA?
[Galaxy S III General] victorator:
Type *#1234# in the dialer and post the results here... or just flash DLJ2 with Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] wildalan:
any signs of multi windows?
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Nope, none.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Is LJ2 unbranded, i.e. does it have a standard Samsung boot logo?
[Galaxy S III General] tanjiajun_34:
Yeap...
[Galaxy S III General] adrianstefan:
yes it's unbranded, and the logo is samsung
[Galaxy S III General] carrd:
I thought I had the latest unbranded version and have been awaiting the Official BTU update however after checking I am not so sure.

To those of you who installed new unbranded French ROM:

can you please check if there's still bug with black bar when viewing full screen photos in gallery?

Also, is notificaiton bar still grey?

And general question about flashing(never done it before):

appart from md5 file do i need to flash/install anything else, specificly what is "modem" ? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] Phone_Guru:
Temple run is still laggy. App manager is smoother. Those are my two benchmarks for improvements in a ROM. contacts and phone still very slow to load but I don't hold out much hope for those.
[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
I am using I9300XXDLJ2 (XEF = France, Unbranded), and so far I like it.

TouchWiz has improved a lot, and now app folders work as it should.

There is a problem, however, with the data/time app, which is OK in ICS:

Brazil entered daylight savings time yesterday (DST), and the timezone was ok in the device (went from Sao Paulo/UTC-3 to Sao Paulo/UTC-2). The current firmware is not identifying the DST and the timezone changed back to UTC-3 (which is incorrect at this moment).

There are more settings for Samsung Dive (which I love), and tethering is easier to configure.
[Galaxy S III General] cubitusclaudius:
Did I miss the MD5 somewhere?
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
I remember that temple run was laggy even on ICS. Regarding Phone and contacs i removed the sock ones and using touchpal contacts and phone.
[Galaxy S III General] leokaung:
The gallery bug is still present. Status bar is grey. But if u don't like it, fixes are available.

The modem is XXDLID.

Just flash the md5 via odin. If u r not sure about how to flash, search youtube for tutorials. You will need to flash CF root to get root access.
[Galaxy S III General] Trunkam:
yes black bar are still present, seems that photo are "larger than display res..

and notification bar is black :)
[Galaxy S III General] terranoid:
Status baqr will always be grey. Its not a bug or whatever.

[Galaxy S III General] markdj57:
Regarding slow contacts app...

I have it set to show all contacts but I have tried changing this to g contacts only, still 7 seconds to open it... It's awful.

The only time it was fast was after a factory reset and I have a feeling that after I entered my Samsung details it may have slowed but I can't be sure.

I think I'll do another factory reset when BTU comes and be slower about adding all my apps back on...

TOUCH WIZ (CRAP in other words) ;)
[Galaxy S III General] gchindi:
i dont think it will resolve the issue, although, its high time for Samsung / Android to give us the option to choose certain apps to keep in memory so that it can be launced without any lag...it can cause issues on available Ram, but we can live with it instead of having this awful lag on dialer / contacts which is a basic thing in any phone...! it can hardly take 10MB of available free Ram afaik.
[Galaxy S III General] edgarzin:
which firmware i choose?

mine is i9300

baseband i9300xxlh1

is there a specific version for this?

How i can change my CSC i flashed unbranded France version, but CSC Galaxy S /S2 ( the app ) say "PrecunfigUI does not support SingleCSC" .. is normal?
[Galaxy S III General] Watenaccio:
Hi there, my CSC is unknown. Does this matter? If so how do i get the UK csc on this French ROM I have installed? Thank you :)

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Exactly the same for me. I did a full wipe too and erased cache before flashing via odin.
[Galaxy S III General] wicked1683:
Hi mate, what if the modem version that comes with this app is nit compatible in other countries? Is it possible?
[Galaxy S III General] amviewer:
It does matter.

I had it once before and if the csc is unknown you get a bad battery life because of fast dormancy not working properly.

Flashing it twice via odin resolved it for me.Using mobile odin seems to also leave it to unknown.
[Galaxy S III General] Watenaccio:
Thank you. It still has CSC unknown. Ill flash again. IS there anything we can use in the CSC part in Odin?

Yes I have repacked a cache.img csc so its a multi csc with BTU as default, but as my sgs3 is in the repair shop, I cant test it.

A friend is going to test it later, If it works it will be found in my stash.
[Galaxy S III General] amviewer:
I'm downloading it right now.

I'm still on DLIB but getting curious now to see whats fixed by then.

You should only have to do it twice...anyway that is what I did last time.

Hi guys the I use this firmware I9300XXDLJ2 and the question is if I need to change the CSC ..but this *#272*IMEI# is not working in this ROM can you tell me what to do, Thank you..
[Galaxy S III General] hanaxxaru:
a multi-csc in cwm flashable or odin is very very much appreciated.. big thanks if it done.. :good:
[Galaxy S III General] Watenaccio:
Now I have the French ROM installed with the attached CSC. I cannot change this using the CSC Select app - i get PreconfigUI does not support single CSC.

Is this OK to use as is? I have a UK Unbranded S3 and my carrier is Vodafone UK. THanks for your help...
[Galaxy S III General] hanaxxaru:
i think this rom is same like spain jb.. both only have single csc..

spain = phe only..

french = xef only..

or you can download wanam deodex or odex version.. it has multi-csc and language..
[Galaxy S III General] Phone_Guru:
TR was smooth on li7and bad again on li8. I like the stock apps for phone and contacts.
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
It's perfectly fine to use it as is but if you want to, try rebooting into recovery (Home + Vol Up + Power) and hopefully it should automatically set the correct CSC.
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
I made a cwm multi csc zip BTU as default.

Any one up for testing it?

[Galaxy S III General] ceredics:

All right, this is annoying. I've flashed the French ROM three times in a row via ODIN but my recovery isn't working. If that wasn't bad enough, it shows the Android dying! That breaks my heart. :p

Can someone help, though? I don't really feel like going back to ICS and trying to see if that has a working Recovery. (>_>)
[Galaxy S III General] sids911:
Someone said something about unknown CSCs causing battery drain because of fast dormancy - not sure how exactly a wrong CSC might impact battery life though.

Okay, I gotta do a u-turn on the battery on the UK ROM, battery is fantastic today.....but now the question to change to the French ROM! Would it be okay to flash over the UK one or would I need to default it?

[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
As it shows on the screenshot. On the storage tab.

I'm guessing Developer Options for Battery Monitoring should not be there. Specially when it got nothing to do with storage.

Anyone have CSC for Bulgaria or Romania.
[Galaxy S III General] Brotuck:
Used mobile odin to upgrade from XXDLJ1 to XXDLJ2. (no wipe)

In my case the battery usage is way better now, i presume it is the XXDLID modem that uses less memory.

Usage now is below 1% per hour with 3G, Bluetooth, Wifi, mailsync Exchange, Facebook etc.

Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] omeryounos:
Everyone having csc related problems.

Back up if required. Boot into stock recovery (shut down, press vol up+home+power to boot into recovery). It should apply the csc when you enter recovery mode. Then factory reset from within stock recovery. It should fix your csc.

Hit thanks if it helped you.
[Galaxy S III General] Brotuck:

Download Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC app from the Play Store

Open Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC app

Tap "Change CSC" button

Select the CSC for you Country

Im familiar with ODIN process, looks easy even for me, but i have doubt about changing CSC, which wipes the device. Should i do it before flash the firmware?

thanks! :p

[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
Hi, i remember that on previous jelly bean firmwares like DLIB, DLIH and also on latest ICS versions, if I set the phone to silent or vibrate only and take a picture using the stock camera, the shutter didn't make any sound, and if the phone was set on sound, then the shutter sound was there like it should be.

But today I installed this latest France DLJ2 (clean install) and if I set the phone to silent or vibrate only, when I take a picture the camera shutter sounds anyways.. Can anyone please be so kind to confirm this to me?

Thanks a lot in advance!

[Galaxy S III General] pelpa87:
it can avoid getting stuck with older version's bugs....and with older parameters that affects performance...

but i wouldn't became too paranoid about it...

just make a nandroid..wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format /system and flash... (thats what i always do...unless i'm changing to/from an AOKP or a ICS rom...)
[Galaxy S III General] DaRacerz:
While that may be true, don't seem to trust that source at all. Secondly, while there seems to be a lot of hoopla about BTU having to wait for all other carriers, it doesn't exactly make 100% sense as France and Germany Unbranded have been released before all the carriers were released. So its possible Samsung will require certain carriers, but it seems like T-Mo is one of the common carriers that is not hindering unbranded rom's from getting released early (defined loosely).

Flashed the French fw.

Very easy thru Odin.

For my surprise my device wasn't wiped out, everything was there.

Jelly bean and its features look nice.

BUT not everything are flowers. I noticed some annoying stuff.

1.phone gets hot than it used to be.

2. Contacts, message and dial pad take from 3 to 5 seconds to load. After the first open, they open very quickly. Then I used other apps and load them again. And again they were very slow to load.

3. Widgets (beautiful widgets and business calendar) take forever to load after reboot. This didn't happen in Ics.

4. Widgets tab at the app drawer is freaking slow! Very sluggish changing screens.

Anyone with the same issues? Any advice, should I install another fw?
[Galaxy S III General] circuit89:
Looks like you might need a factory reset. I've seen some people having the same problems and factory reset has helped. Give it a shot. Make sure you backup the important stuff you might need.
[Galaxy S III General] edgarzin:
Where can I check which csc I have? I did not change region before or after flashing the French rom. Do you guys think this can be related to the issues I wrote above? Oh I must say pictures in gallery aren't in full screen now.

So stupid to mess with things I'm not comfortable... I should stay with Ics.

You can used try checking using *#272* IMEI # on your phone or use KIES. It should be a 3 letter code, example 'BTU'.

This article ignores the fact that the French and German versions are unbranded so I wouldn't put too much faith in this considering the article was wrong as soon as it was posted.

I agree and Samsung has already confirmed the update for October.
[Galaxy S III General] Sensamic:
Samsung is horrible with updates. All of them have bugs.

What good is it to get JB when it comes with bugs that weren't there on ICS? I don't know how you guys pull up with this.

So many different firmwares and all with different bugs. The swedish took 3 hours to charge battery completely, the polish one had touchwiz closures, etc. And all of them have the screenshot bug in notification center.

It's really annoying. This is the opposite is quality. And none of this roms have perfect project butter. They all still have lag, specially with the transition effects between windows in settings app for example.
[Galaxy S III General] jeepdroid:
I have had a problem with JB ever since the first leak and have been watching this thread and others to see if anyone has the same problem as I have had.

When I install a program from the play store and I exit using the back button not the home button then play store will cause a force close on TouchWiz. ***Every time***.

I have done a full wipe every Rom and and format system and data every time and still have this issue. Currently using H3G.

Everything else seems ok accept for the occasional lag.
[Galaxy S III General] chrismast:
Had the same issue on one of the earlier versions and solved it by disabling the creation of an auto shortcut on the home screen but maybe not 100% the same as your problem.
