Done (well as much as the rest of you anyway!)

If anyone is interested I have worked out how to get the "maximum number of roll-out updates has been exceeded" message :o

Now you may be wondering why that's a good thing, but about 5 hours ago I was getting the "no updates were found" type message the same as some others on here. Despite running stock MJ9 and having done a factory reset only a week ago I was NOT running the BTU CSC as I assumed. The only way to tell is do a vol-down, home, power-on and check at the bottom of the screen.

I wasted a while flashing Cyanogenmod thinking it would give me root for a CSC change, but you have to do the CSC from a stock ROM (with root) so that was a waste of time. I ended up flashing the stock MJ9 again, applying a root (CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar.md5) fix with ODIN then downloaded the "Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC" app by Manniakk from the store, gave it root permissions and changed to the BTU CSC.

Another re-flash of the stock ROM again, to get rid of root, and a final full factory reset and Bob is your mothers brother...

There was a point, for about an hour, in the middle where I was stuck on the SAMSUNG booting screen! I re-flashed several times, did factory resets but nothing worked. I nearly gave up but finally, after another round of wiping and re-flashing it worked! A couple of things struck me whilst in a state of panic; I think sometimes people don't give it long enough to boot. I guess after a re-flash it is dong all sorts of setup things and it seems quite random the amount of time it takes. Give each boot 10 minutes before pulling the battery and maybe remove the SIM and memory card to reduce the number of things it is doing. Secondly it seems the recovery ROM gets damaged at certain stages of this process making the already fiddly process of entering recovery (vol-UP, home, power) impossible. I always found the vol-DOWN, home, power worked though so was able to re-flash Clockworkmod recovery to perform wipes etc. Also on at least one occasion simply swapping USB port on my PC resolved a ODIN error I otherwise couldn't get passed!

Oh and being a geek working in IT for 15 years I love this stuff, but even I despair at the way all this works! Come on Google, Samsung, HTC, etc. if between you, you can't make what is now a well evolved and very highly controlled hard/firm/software ecosystem work better than this, then you really can't be trying very hard.

XXBLG6 is great!

- Forward/Backward icon on stock Internet browser.

- New Camera Firmware.

- 100% confirm completely fixed song playback clicking noise issue. I notice it is more bass and louder now. :D

- Remove Universal search, thanks to crap Apple. But you can simply put back.

Recommended update, alone the Song Playback Clicking Noise Fixed is worth the updates already. :D

please how do i root galaxy s3 on this I9300XXBLG6

please how do i root galaxy s3 on this I9300XXBLG6_I9300OXABLG6 firmware. I want to flash the new firmware but then want to re-root, is there a CF ROOT for this firmware?:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] nadram:
Yeah cf root works perfectly with this. Did it yesterday.

Video player is fine, nearby devices is still buggy, all share cast always was in more settings for me (international gs3), f/@% apple and their patent trolling, f*$#the US and German patent systems.

Other than that this update didn't bring much that the eye can see did it?

I am on XXBLFB (BTU), I never got the OTA update cause it was giving me a message to try again later. Now it says no update available and KIES shows that LFB is the latest firmware :S. Did Samsung take down the latest firmware? Also I wanted to know if there are any disadvantages of flashing through ODIN vs KIES/OTA.

New firmware have bad WiFi for me. Stops on 3 minutes. Thats why they deleted it from checkfus

LG6 Dialer

The dialer in LG6 has got a cosmetic makeover when receiving and making calls. It now has a black border surrounding the top and bottom which I actually dont like. Earlier the grid would cover the whole screen but now it looks patchy.

Yeah call me OCD, but thought Id mention it anyway :P

[Galaxy S III General] Mr Brainz:
I just got BLFB OTA this morning.

Is there a changelog anywhere?
[Galaxy S III General] FlamingAngel82:
Mine was doing this until the update previous to this new update. Once I'd updated, that weird space it used to leave disappeared. Bothered the hell out of me until it was fixed!
[Galaxy S III General] Lci:
Lol its actually very simple.

Flash 4.1.2 or 4.3 Btu with odin(3.09),enter recovery wipe cache and clear data,reboot,flash with odin(3.09) cf auto root.zip to gain root,download from playstore csc changer and change csc to Btu phone will reboot,install triangle away and reset flash counter to 0 and after that flash 1 more time 4.3.Now your device status is official and ready to receive any updates.
[Galaxy S III General] HeMan321:
Yeah, that's what I said. :p

But the number of false starts, bad ROMs, USB drivers, Heimdall USB drivers, acronyms, wipes, silly-three-fingered-reboots-that-leave-you-pressing-the-button-for-reboot-as-the-recovery-screen-opens-catching-you-in-an-annoying-loop etc are just silly. Its not just the manufacturers but the devs too; I mean why, oh why, does Clockwork recovery come as a IMG file only and ODIN only works with MD5 files?! Yes, yes I know there are ways of getting around this but WHY? Arghhhhhhhhhh.... 5 hours I have been at this and I am a geek, hows the rest of the world, the sort of people who can't quote Star-Trek backwards, supposed to cope!

what about the battery??????????????
[Galaxy S III General] Sten1234:
The question is once you managed to change your CSC to BTU and get back to unrooted MJ9, did the OTA update work or are you still getting the "stagered rollout" error message?
[Galaxy S III General] HeMan321:
We that makes my point, after all that I felt a sense of elation but in reality I still don't have a working phone cos after 5 hours of work I am just in the same boat as everyone else now and getting the "Maximum number of roll-out updates has been exceeded" :(

Out of interest I can't restore my texts and stuff from Samsungs cloud backup service cos their server is busy too and it took 3 attempts to even log on to it! Might be related...
[Galaxy S III General] headhood:
whyyy samsung canntt improve their god dammit servers?

waaaaa
[Galaxy S III General] Lci:
What i understand from that error message after clicking it all day on my i9300 is that they have set a fixed number of devices that should receive the update.Lets say the first 10k devices that checked for an update were allowed to download for testing purposes.This could explain why some people are using it for 24 hours or more.

Can someone make a Nandroid backup and upload it.
[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
NO. A nandroid backup contains phone specific files. It'll be foolish for those people who would dare share their backups.

I mean why ask for a backup just to have the latest firmware? Can't you wait?
[Galaxy S III General] Slims34:
I can wait, but my battery is very bad with stock 4.1.2, because that I want fast the latest firmware.
[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
Then why ask for a nandroid backup? That is so foolish. And no one here will share their backup and if they do then that is also foolish of them. Also having the latest firmware wouldn't mean that your battery life will get better. Just wait... the update will come. Don't get so hyped about these firmwares.

Succesfully updated to MK6 via OTA by doing the following (I'm previously using OmniRom):

1. Flashed 4.3 MJ9 via Odin

2. Enabled root and reset flash counter via Triangle Away

3. Changed CSC to BTU via CSC Select app

4. Removed Root via SuperSU app

5. Factory reset in settings/accounts/backup and reset

After re-boot, the phone automatically downloaded the update to MK6.

Hope this helps.
