I hope someone can help me out, I just flashed the BLG8 firmware from BLG6 using ODIN upon checking the versions on my mobile CSC has become unknown, can I just re-flash the firmware again? as iam a bit worried..

Thanks for the help..

Update: re flashed the firmware, CSC is OK now... phew...
[Galaxy S III General] Faryaab:
I9300XXBLG8 firmware has been posted in the OP. Separate Modem and Kernel files coming soon.
[Galaxy S III General] Timi91:
Is there a fix for that ?

Thank you...
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
No I'm talking bass in the earphones/headphone jack.

-> problem with cell standby is the reading being incorrect. nothing more.
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
oh okay

hehe i meant the source. so you're talking about listening to music using earphones.

i on the other hand meant audio recorded in cam videos having more bass than previous roms, since i still have vids from previous roms.

just thought that was what you noticed. can you try testing the bass in audios recorded in videos using latest lg6/8? tia.

and yes, the standby reporting is indeed from incorrect reading.

it's just that some users don't know it and they think there really is an issue with standby.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
yeah - users that don't use the search function and are ignorant you mean? :D

About the video thing - well I can't compare or test, as I've never had to record my 10" sub woofer...lol

So it would be pointless me recording.

What would I be showing/proving? That it doesn't pick up the lows or?

Voodoo SIM Unlock is still broke on LG8 :(
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
hehe nope i think they just don't want to search hundreds of threads, so they just say what they think that it's a problem without looking for solutions first.

btw pm sent.

There is that magic man google, he searches very well :p

[Galaxy S III General] MuertoKo:
You could take a look onto this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29371863&postcount=10067

I've been full day using Omega 10, which means similar to LG6 with LG6 modem and LG6 insecured kernel on a voodoo unlocked phone without a problem.

Only issue is you must re-unlock your phone each time you reboot, but hey, it's completly worth if you can get rid of stupid crackling issue on previous versions! Will try LG8 as soon as indie releases his update just to test new modem's drain and so on, but I don't expect major difference, for me now LG6 modem is working great, no higher drain even if I've been all day with nice signal... maybe higher drain on low signal just to get signal at all? Could be... :)

I'm just now working on the unlock issue, trying to take a look onto LG6 release with my very limited knowledge... trying to flash older kernels and modems and whatever new in this ROM just to find what is exactly re-locking our phones, as easy as pulling out of the file what you want to test :)

Let's hope we are lucky!

CF Root 6.4 not working here with LG8 :( anyone managed to root it?
[Galaxy S III General] 10076757:
No Root

What! Really? anyone else can refute this claim?
[Galaxy S III General] InevitableDJ:
Yes ive rooted it and everything is working perfectly fine, no issues here
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
I really do love the ignorance...

Mine is rooted, with CF root 6.4, 0 problems, working fine.
[Galaxy S III General] turt:
It's working with me... Flashed via Odin 3.04.
[Galaxy S III General] juliano_q:
Thats strange, I flashed it via odin and phone just rebooted without applying root. Tried again and not worked. Any tips?

Edit: Cleaned dalvik, cache, tried again and it worked, now rooted, thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
that happened to me too, i flashed using cf root 6.4 which was already in my computer for weeks.

download from the thread again, cos the cf root 6.4 there has new updates in the other files.

since that's how i was able to flash again.

on another note, i flashed the fota update.zip while my recovery is cwm touch.

haha i laughed cos it's the first time i saw that android green robot die. hehehe

so i flashed the non-touch version of cwm, only then was i able to flash the LG8 fota update.

thus recovery is back to stock and again a first for me to see sgs3's stock recovery. cwm's recovery is so much better.

thanks to all devs for their wonderful work.
[Galaxy S III General] MuertoKo:
As already asked by mike, does anyone have the OTA LG6 file? (20Mb file)? We really need it to figure out what has changed in it to break unlock, can anyone link it or post it? Couldn't find it after hard searching, only LG8 OTA (Thanks for that one btw :) ).
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
for those coming from BFLB updating to BLG8 the ota update.zip is about 20+mb. so far no one has posted that.

for those coming from BLG6 updating to BLG8 the ota update.zip is just 5.40mb. i posted that in a thread in sgs3 general forum, you'll have to search for it.
[Galaxy S III General] MuertoKo:
Sure I have already downloaded yours but nothing good in it (when it comes to checking that new issue ofc, thanks for that anyway!).

Let's hope someone posts BLFB - BLG6 or BLG8 update.zip soon, we really need it to debug unlocking issue... let's just wait then

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
oh okay, the issue with locked phones unlocked by voodoo sim unlock then after flashing the new lg6/8 is now locked again.

don't worry the devs will surely be able to find a way to unlock again.

for those fortunate to have unlocked phones at the start, this is a very good update.

1. since it now has better audio in recorded vids as compared to BFLB.

2. and audio crackling sound issue is fixed.
[Galaxy S III General] gchindi:
hey, thanks for checking, can I ask yout to extract the log file you get when you use voodoo unlocker on LG8 and probably give it to the dev of the unlocker...supercur..dont exactly remember the name of the dev of that app.

may be he can have a look at the file and see something to be fixed!

there must be a file in your My files folder at the bottom when you try to unlock it, the app generates the file.

thanks.

VOODOO SIM RELATED:

https://twitter.com/supercurio/status/228875849426927616

Francois was kind enough to reply.

He seems to be on an older rom, and doing some dev'ing.

Thus, I think he'll get to it once he updates his FW, and investigates all your SIM related queries :)
[Galaxy S III General] MuertoKo:
Didn't answer mine though :( Well nvm with one answer is enough :P

Seems like we have to check it ourselves...
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
May the unlocking be with you.

What seems to be the problem anyway?

Failing to unlock, and/or giving you problem in unlocking on first flash?

Yw :)

And there's a button :p
[Galaxy S III General] ratsalad:
Thanks for that :)

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

It seems like Supercurio is putting SIM unlocker low on his priority list, so we'll just have to wait patiently until he gets round to it or someone else comes up with a plan ;)

https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/#GalaxySIIISIMUnlock
[Galaxy S III General] MuertoKo:
As soon as you flash an LG6/8 ROM you lose the effect of unlock method previously used :)

And if you try to re-unlock it... works until you reboot!

Actually it works even the App still shows you as "lock Active", but you have coverage until reboot.

So ROM is cheking it in a different way that it used and now is killing unlock...

[Galaxy S III General] Mikulec:
Regarding SIM LOCK.

I was looking in efs folder (the problem is obviously there), and I open nv.log file, after booting there was mentioned something about detecting "cracking". Quick workaround is to delete this file (dont worry this file is generated after every boot) and after that run voodoo sim unlock and unlock your phone. Its working till the new nv.log file is generated, that means till the next boot.

[Galaxy S III General] saddameu:
thanks, is good for now as temporary solution
[Galaxy S III General] ronj1986:
I noticed this & it upset me. The problem was that my phone was off the charger for 14+ hours, but stayed awake the entire time even though the screen was off, and I was not using the phone.I disabled the ChatON app, as well as some others last night. Since then my battery life has been amazing again.
[Galaxy S III General] Mikulec:
Looks like after reset u have to delete also the 2 files created by voodoo sim unlock
[Galaxy S III General] UXELLR:
There was no audio fix with the nordic firmware. U.k version almost all good. Don't get why they pumped up the bass. It should be neutral in normal. If people would like more excitment they could use eq. Wonder what RMMa testing would show. Not the audiophile wolfson phone people was led to believe. But I could be all wrong :)

You cant. Samsung only provides changelog number but not whats changed. Users discover that
[Galaxy S III General] z4ppy:
Currently running BFLB since flashing a couple days ago and obviously with BLG8 coming out, it seems the general perception is a thumbs up. In saying that, have noticed a few mention battery life isn't has good as it was on BFLB, can anyone clarify that for me? Really enjoying the battery life that BFLB has given me since moving over from Optus stock.

Convince me to go with BLG8!!

[Galaxy S III General] mario06:
Possibile bug found. When you have vibrate enabled by picking up the phone upon missed events.

I had a sms that I didn't read, during a long phone call I was walking back and forth. As you all know the phone goes into standby when it's by your ear, at times it comes out of it to go back into it always during the conversation. In these few seconds that it comes out of it the phone vibrates to notify you of the sms and I find this very annoying because it seems not to notice that your talking and thinks it's just in a normal standby position.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] eliashadow:
Please let me disagree...

For me, after 2 days with LG6, my battery life is much more better than FLB.

A small example:

1 hour unplugged, auto sync, music, radio, tapatalk, screenshot, 1% lost. (still 99% now).
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Guys I'm sorry but that is complete and utter BS. How long have u had the new LG8 on ur phone? A day at most?..

I'm not sure if you are new to this or not but what u might not know is that after flashing a new firmware, chances are your battery indicator doesn't read correctly. It could increase slightly while sitting idle, or it could take a drop of 20% etc.

It will be slightly erratic maybe even inaccurate until you complete approx 2-3 full charge cycles. By this I mean charge to 100% with little or no load, then drain to 1% before repeating the process a few times.

If after this has been done you still have battery drain issues then u need to look at your set up or apps causing wakelocks.

Hope this helps a little.
[Galaxy S III General] mario06:
Rep+

I agree 100%
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
the phone isn't in standby mode when you are using it during phone call conversation even though the screen is off. the screen is just off because of the setting of sensor to turn off display when calling phone near ear but it isn't in standby mode wherein the more familiar term people use is sleep mode. if the phone is still on standby/sleep mode then that's the phone doing nothing and stepping down either or both cpu and gpu to save battery. the experts can add more to that.

if you really want to notice sms being sent to while in a call, this is what you do on home screen press that green phone icon, then press capacitive menu button > call settings > call alert > then check/enable alerts on call (description alarm and messages go off during call)

---------- Post added at 06:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------

yes i agree. battery life is good.

only thing i noticed with LG8 is that phone is warmer when i finish playing a spiderman for 5 minutes as compared to LFB.and yes i timed both of them with stopwatch.
[Galaxy S III General] IamIrene:
why the file name and size different with the one download from sammobile website (hotfile) ???

filename download from sammobile / hotfile is : I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_BTU.zip (777.3MB)

while yours upload one is : I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_I9300XXLG8_HOME.rar (694.2MB)

sorry I having a noob internet speed that why need ask clearly so that won't waste my time download different thing >.<
[Galaxy S III General] gchindi:
Its just tht the longer name version is dowlloaded from checkfus, for faster dowload, sammobile download link will be usually slower compared to checkfus.. Thts all.
[Galaxy S III General] IamIrene:
not only slower download, must 1 time finish download it, can't pause and resume at all

wonder why they don't upload to mediafire >.<
[Galaxy S III General] pkoper:
Why don't you just download with checkfus? You can resume as often as you like. It's probably anyway the place where sampo et al get their leaks from.

There is even an app with which you can check if new firmwares are out or it can notify you.

replacement for voodoo unlocker app

hi all,

whoever is having locked phone and after flashing LG8 are getting sim lock screen asking you to enter unlock code, can you please try the below link and see if it works, it gives an unlock code for free when you input your imei no.

I have tried and im getting an unlock code, but Im not at home to flash the LG8 and put the unlock code and see if it works, please try and let me know. if it works, then its a gem of a link....!!

[Galaxy S III General] gchindi:
You should check your csc, if your phone was previously locked to a network, also check detailed guide on xda, how to go completely stock, flashing stock firmare itself is not enough, there is more attached to it, like what csc you are using n if everything matches for the samsung server to recognise ur phone,

Note - changing csc will factory reset ur phone, will erase all data...
[Galaxy S III General] mario06:
You didn't understand what I'm saying, the phone ACTS as it is in standby mode because when there's an sms before starting the call and after starting the call and during the actual phone call if you slightly move the phone the sensor makes the screen come back making it VIBRATE thus making it act as the standby pickup notification mode....

As for the battery since it is physically impossible to test it for at least 3 days meaning 3 full discharges (1%) and 3 full charges (100% +2hrs) since it's about only 24hrs since it came out how can you say the battery lasts longer?
