Flash via odin 3.09

I'm really a newcomer in Android:crying: Can anyone show me how to flash via odin 3.09 with just one md5 file? I've read the first post and followed each guideline. But the zip file just includes one file, meanwhile I have to add three files to BL, AP and CSC. :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] Remember Me?:
put samsung to download mode,download last firmaware for your phone download sammobile.com open odin 3.09 end select AP file chose a Firmwares (disable Kies on task manager) ensure that re-partition at the left is UNCHECKED!! click start and done

sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S III General] Mikulec:
Yea thanks to not knowing that there is difference between stock recovery wipe and cwm wipe I lost all my titanium backups and also nandroid backups.

:eek:
[Galaxy S III General] mike1986.:
Almost correct :p Internal SD card is located on /data partition. So basically using wipe from settings or stock recovery formats /data partition using mkfs.ext4 or it just restores backup images. But custom recovery like cwm is probably not formatting /data partition but only wiping its content excluding /media folder, f.g.:

cd /data

FILES=(*)

for i in "${FILES[@]}"; do

if [ "$i" != "media" ]

then rm -R "$i"

fi

done

Sorry for beeing smartass :p
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Not at all mate. I thought the data partition was on the sd.

Good info there.
[Galaxy S III General] mike1986.:
From init.smdk4x12.rc inside ramdisk:

# create virtual SD card at /mnt/sdcard, based on the /data/media directory
# daemon will drop to user/group system/media_rw after initializing
# underlying files in /data/media wil be created with user and group media_rw (1023)
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1023 1023

need an experts advice

Ok people this is the problem I've got a UK orange branded and sim locked s3 I've been given conflicting advice on debranding on one hand I've been told if it is sim locked I cannot flash an international unbranded stock Rom say ( XXALE8 ) and then I've been told I can ?!?! I don't want to root because I don't want to get into all the triangle business in case I have to return it and get a replacement all I want is to get rid of the orange rubbish and be able to get updates from Samsung ( getting back the removed update option too !)

So can I get a definitive awnser on this also if anyone code put a link to this orange branded firmware PDA:LF4/PHONE:LF2/CSC:LF2(ORA) so I can have a backdoor can only see older versions of the orange branded firmware when I look

Thanks in advance I'm pulling my hair out !
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
Well that's what I meant, I just rushed it :D

hehe thanks

Oh wow - thanks for that!
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
@ that:

"How Samsung managed to 'accidentally' remove the feature in a recent software roll out is mysterious - it seems suspicious that a large corporation would make such a mistake. Surely Samsung wouldn't have made such a move then get cold feet with the backlash - it's not the first time it's had to do such a thing with a phone, after all."

See pic attached ;)
[Galaxy S III General] mario06:
You guys really believe that Samsung made this mistake?

I dunno but I personally think that it was intentional.

If they release a ''fix'' its because of the embarrassment about Apple winning this lawsuit and them being chickens by removing it that they reconsidered to put it back in.

usually the kernel plays a big part if a rom has excessive battery drain but since hearing that battery drain decreased for you ,Im thinking that i should not have factory reset as it takes a big toll on the battery first couple of charge cycles. any way i flashed the yank 555 kernel . and things seem to have settled down.

[Galaxy S III General] kornelius1982:
That`s because battery life is very subjective thing, in general stock ML2 kernel is a bit more power hungry, but if use custom kernel like boeffla, there`s no problem about it.

[Galaxy S III General] ymy3890:
1. From MH4 to ML2 <- no issue

2. From ML2 to MH4 <- will lost efs cause 4.1.2 and 4.3 in different location.

2 things you can do since you rooted your phone,

1. before flashing ML2 do a backup first and you think you wanted to go back to MH4 just restore back from backup

2. Or, flash MH4 and MG4 modem.
[Galaxy S III General] hwjrmrm:
ML2>MH4 won't lose your efs,because MH4 modem is DDEMG2,it efs V2,same with ML2.
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
Are you sure. Have you done it before.

But I still think same as you because both of em are efs v2 but ymy3890 confused me.

EDIT: Finally found an answer. For most of the people efs issue is being caused due to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1 due to change in efs partition.

As far as i aware and i experience it as well. When downgrading from 4.3 to 4.1.2 you will lost your IMEI and the only way to recover is using the 2 ways that i have mentioned.

[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
The issue is cause by once upgrading the modem to MG4 and above and when you downgrade to 4.1 which has MG2 modem the efs issue is caused.

Once upgrade I dont think i m gonna downgrade.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2531221
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
I have checked it out. If you downgrade you have to install MG4 modem because your efs partition is changed and not readable by MG2 modem.

Once upgraded you can never go back to 4.1 modem ie MG2.
[Galaxy S III General] ymy3890:
extract from my previous post.

As i mentioned in my previous post as below..

1. From MH4 to ML2 <- no issue

2. From ML2 to MH4 <- will lost efs cause 4.1.2 and 4.3 in different location.

2 things you can do since you rooted your phone,

1. before flashing ML2 do a backup first and you think you wanted to go back to MH4 just restore back from backup

2. Or, flash MH4 and MG4 modem.

If I restore from a MH4 backup my old efs will I be able to upgrade again to 4.3.

I think yes But asking just to be sure.

I'm on MK6 now, apart from more performance, is it worth to flash ML2? No one has posted what really is the difference between the two. Does it bring in German bloatware? Which version of ML2 is the best (from which country?)

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III General] whiskerp:
But why would anyone want to use an old EFS format modem? The new modems are very good. What is the point?
[Galaxy S III General] pigstacho:
I upgraded to ML2 from MK6, both look pretty much the same but battery is slightly better in ML2 for me, slightly snappier and the problem where task manager will show you that there are no running processes when there really are seems to be fixed.

Remember that if you wipe/reset you must give the new ROM some time to settle as it will be performing some background tasks (media scanning for example) and it may drain battery and make the phone slower at first.

ML2 AUT comes with all the standard bloatware from Samsung and 2 or 3 new applications that I personally hadn't seen before (food and parking related). I used RootAppDelete to freeze all the bloatware and stop unneeded processes and after that it run much better than 4.1 and slightly better than MK6.

Hope it helps.
