Yes, I'm talking about the new 4.1.2 Polish official firmware. No need to full wipe (I don't do full wipes if the firmware is higher than what I was previously on, in this case 4.1.1 DLJ4 UK BTU - UNLESS I somehow managed to mess the flashing stage or the new firmware is not playing nice (read: FC) if you don't wipe or I just feel like wiping it first).

Aside from the GPS glitch of the leaked 4.1.2, which is easily "fixed" by disabling wireless networks or something (which I didn't like), I find it very, very usable. But the fact that it's pre-rooted, which I didn't feel comfortable with knowing someone did something for the ROM I should have done, and GPS is very important to me, I went back to stock, unrooted DLJ4.

This new official ROM ostensibly fixed the GPS bug, so I'm a happy camper.

Sorry for the novel.

GPS works even without disabling use mobile networks workaround. With the leaked version, without disabling mobile networks, I'll get the GPS lock but it won't stay locked for more than 10 minutes. Now it stays for more than half an hour as tested earlier coming home from work, and I'm sure it will stay locked as long as you don't end the navigation. Try it.

[Galaxy S III General] mdfpido:
Tip: I suggest to do a full wipe if you're coming from a leaked firmware. If you're "upgrading" to a "newer" firmware coming from a stock and official firmware (like 4.1.1 to 4.1.2), if you want to retain everything (data, contacts, messages, etc.) there's no need to wipe, neither cache nor Dalvik. If you don't care about those stuff, then wipe. Now, if, for some reason you're flashing a firmware that is older than the one you already on (like from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1) you need to do a full wipe: data, cache, dalvik.

Got new NL firmware (I9300XXALEF)

Hi guys,

Today Kies told me there was a new stock firmware for my (unbranded and not-yet-rooted) NL Samsung GS3.

I copied the zip file while Kies was unpacking it, and it contains 'I9300XXALEF_I9300PHNALE4_I9300XXLEF_HOME.tar.md5'.

Where should I upload this so the other Dutch users can get their hands on it? :)

Besides being old you you can download any firmware with checkfus or from samsungupdates. The checkfus pro app will even send you a notification as soon as a new firmware is available... then you just pop in the details into checkfus downloader. No need for slow hosts like hotfile etc.

Hmm, I tried Check Fus Downloader 2.1, which seems to be the latest version, but it does not show the Netherlands in the "Choose region" dropdown list.

Nice update with 1 exception

What I like about this update is that most of the apps they changed or functionality they added is optional. You can still use the apps in pretty much the same way as before if you dont like the new implementation. For example, the camera app now defaults to burst mode when you hold down the capture button but if you dont like that you can turn the option off and go back to where holding the capture button will lock focus ( and now it will also lock exposure!:good:)

The one exception to this great update is the keyboard. If you liked the Samsung keyboard (I did) youd better consider downloading an alternative. They tried to copy Swiftkey functionality and they got it terribly wrong! They keyboard is useless now, wont even correct mispelled words. Won't add spaces after words, and they made it really hard to get to the punctuation. Hope they revert to the old keyboard in a future update.

Another thing i noticed is that you can zoom in on videos now.

---------- Post added at 06:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

I don't know what's so difficult to understand here guys.

Wipe:

- if coming from a leaked ROM; custom ROM like CM10/AOKP, etc.

- if the new ROM is not playing nicely like having FC; some parts you felt are broken like sync not syncing, etc.

- if coming from the same ROM version but the previous one is rooted (rooted 4.1.2 Poland to stock 4.1.2 UAE - I'm from Dubai)

- if you're having bootloops right after flashing

No Wipe:

- if coming from an old ROM like 4.0.4 ICS to 4.1.2 JB (this is common sense, why do you need to wipe when you're just essentially upgrading to a new ROM, unless, as stated in number 2 above, there are incompatibilities, apps FC'ing, etc.), or 4.1.1 to 4.1.2

Basically if you have an older ROM, you just need to flash the new one. What great inconvenience will it be like if every time you "upgrade" to a new version, you need to wipe your phone?

Wipe your phone clean if coming from everything else.

[Galaxy S III General] Idan73:
That app is just a scam it seems. Just because it says unknown ril it doesn't mean it's not matched, it just means the app does not have it online or in database. Flashing full firmware guarantees you have matched ril and modem no matter what stupid app says.
