[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ninolina:
Just wait for newest OMEGA ROM or flash a custom kernel like yank555's v2.8e. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
Ok now you got me all paranoid whith all this sudden death crappy talk, so I went and flashed the new bootloader. Still don't know why, coz this +1 count is annoying! chainfire needs to modify his triangle away and fast.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScoopyDoopy:
You are not actually infected with anything. It just means you could become infected with something if you download an app that wants to take advantage of a security hole in the stock Samsung ROM. As all Omega ROMS are based on the stock Samsung ROM, then all Omega ROMS have the same security hole.

The latest version with close that hole.

Sorry mate, I really haven't read that exynos bug is kernel related. Can You please give me a link to download the LLA kernel? :o

I'm sure that today have look at a link in this thread but really can't find it now :eek:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DirkStorck:
Hi...can I use mobile odin or do I have to use the PC version of odin ?

Thanks! :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
A little bit of both. :) I wrote so many posts with swype that I'm pretty fast in it. I'm just a half skynet. If I where it fully the answer be there before the question was asked. :)

Thank you my sweetheart. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leon0602:
The exynos bug is kernel related, so the bootloader doesn't solve anything :)

had to flash the LLA kernel. I just ask for a link
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zyclops1:
Thanks buddy,btw my s3 on the box....ok l give a try ;););)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
Just flash any custom kernel until the new version comes up.

I would recommend flash it with pc. Because bootloader is a pretty heavy thing and nothing to mess with.

I only hope that my phone will not die because I don't have warranty...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
you do realize that the note 2 is also affected by this right?

if you really want to get out of it, then you would have to go onto an exynos 5 phone or a different manufacturer (htc, sony, etc)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zyclops1:
Me too,no warranty,im gonna sell this and buy a note2.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] vareta:
Indie why don't put new bootloader in v36? If this bootloader can solve one S3 death i think that is better.

Red exclamation at the top isn't a problem.

With new bootloader can we install stock rom from odin? Or will we can't use odin again

Thank's

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
+1 Totally right. Every phone with exynos chip had that issue. You can flash a different kernel to get rid of our wait for new version of omega.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
sorry buddy. dead serious. it's a bug that affects the chip itself...

EDIT: more specifically firmware.. but to be honest, i dislike that samsung is trying to hold on to documentation on the exynos 4 when it's essentially old news and no one really cares what is in the documentation... unless they somehow have something shameful that they wanted to hide......
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
I already give my two cents to exynos bug. The screen shot you're showing had nothing to do with the bootloader! It's just for the kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dezeubby:
I am very scared now because of this sudden death.... I live in Romania... I have international warranty just like the iphone?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SAEVARM3:
The app "Exynos-mem Bug checker" says that my device is affected, what does that mean for my phone? ... can I flash the new Samsung base that has the Exynos fix to get rid of this error or what?

Peace
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
yes as long as you are not int he US, samsung wont be screwing you anytime soon
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
It's to difficult to implement such things. You can easily do it by yourself. And of course you can use odin even with the new bootloader
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
just wait for the new v36 and you should be ok. all the known custom kernels already patched/fixed it as well...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
Just read two posts above yours.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zyclops1:
So any good phone to buy???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
uh... that's up to you... i don't know which one I would go for if I had to swtich from the s3.. i would totally miss multiwindow and s-beam..

as far as i have seen some members have switched to sony or gone for the HTC one X+ (but you'll have to live with no sd card and no battery replacement)

EDIT: ofcourse... you can also go Nexus 4 if you want to be close to vanilla as possible.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DirkStorck:
I know that and I use perseus kernel whitch has the fix for that bug included...I asked if I can flash that bootloader using mobile odin for that case when Omega v36 is released and I wanna flash the bootloader :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
i dont think it works with mobile odin. you'll have to flash it via normal odin.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DirkStorck:
Ok. Thank you :)

I want to flash Omega 35 JB on my S3. I currently have Omega 9.0 ICS. Can I simply flash over the top? What kind of wipe do you recommend before i do it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
oh, also.. here's what indie had to say about the new bootloader.. so it's entirely up to you if you really want to flash the new bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36285967&postcount=41565
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
I think you still mixing up things and don't see the difference.

You don't need a new phone. Your Screenshot is because of the kernel and I don't write again what I thinking about. Just in short the panic about it is idiotic!

The sudden death thing can show up or it don't but can be easily fixed if you flash the bootloader.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
can't help you that much. i say wait abit before you get soemthing new... it's a new year, CES 2013 is coming up, newer chipsets were already announced.. so i dont see a reason to get the last year's top dog when you can get this year's top dog.

Do a full wipe. Simple as that.

You can do it with mobile odin but it's more safe to do it with pc.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zyclops1:

Thanks for help mate!!!! :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
oops. i was reading something about how it's not possible to do it with mobile odin yesterday... maybe I misread it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
No offense mate but I think you still don't get the difference of the bugs and that you can easily fix it like 123. You making a fly to an elephant that is not worth to buy a new phone just because of that.

Edit: If you wanna throw money out of the Window just because of that send it to me. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
^-- what he said.

it's a bug. if it affects anyone, it's people who are not rooted and not have the SU app and finally it would affect those who download malicious apps.

The bootloader is there for you to use and it's entirely up to you if you want to do it or not. i'm personally waiting to see if there would be a triangle away that will deal with this new bootloader before I try it.

EDIT: or throw it my way so i can upgrade my gf to a new phone.. XD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] delio163:
If you don't want your device to be infected by the exynos mem.bugs, flash yank555 kernel....that's simple as is it..... You can find other kernel too....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
You can also flash any other custom kernel. The app is not very accurate and more for non rooted stock Roms.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dandroid13:
Stock XXELLA kernel has a "true" fix, while the custom ones are using workarounds... They'll probably update using the official fix soon.

And well, if you have root the warranty is voided anyway. :p

[Galaxy S III Android Development] KennyLegend:
It's as simple as this... Flash xxeLLA or any of the current custom kernels and u will be fine.

As regards the sudden death issue, if it happens to u then samsung will cover it regardless as it's a dead mobo issue.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachinaik:
Guys two imp questions:

1. Can I flash the new boot loader using mobile Odin ?

2. Samsung has not confirmed that the boot loader will fix the SDeath issue. It may just contain showing red mark if device is altered. In that case deny warranty. It may be a trap. I mean we don't have official statement from sammy that it fixes sudden death...

Please reply with your opinions.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dandroid13:
1. No, only with pc Odin.

2. You can find the old bootloader somewhere here to reflash, just search.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andreasy:
Before flashing the new bootloader do some reading about what will be locked. I think you will lose capability to downgrade which is bad.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachinaik:
Hi Indie,

I used eMMC Bugchecker from play store and it says :

1. Sane chip

2. The memory test also passed.

Can you please make the flashing of LLA boot loader optional in Aroma ? (Or not include it in V36, since we can always flash it seperately)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dandroid13:
Keep in mind that the sane chip information means nothing because it was originally made to check the Galaxy S II brickbug eMMC thing, not ours.

I have tried flashing v35 again with 2 wipes not data wipe tho. any suggestion? thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tmantanner4:
Hey everybody

I have looked into the new boot loader that comes with the new firmware. It has fixed the exynos bug and the sudden death bug has also been fixed. This was confirmed by Samsung. The only problem that comes with it is a little exclamation mark (!) in the corner when booting up. The flash counter can still be reset to zero through chainfire's App 'triangle away' but the little red exclamation mark will not be removed. If you were to do something to your device, and it is running the new boot loader, it will be refused warranty.

On a different note, does anyone know if chainfire is planning on trying to remove the exclamation mark?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JeoffJimena:
Did this and reboot.. Still broken bass sound.. Wonder how to bring it back to original.. Even megawipe did not do the trick... :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
I dont think samsung has officially declared that the new bootloader will fix the sudden death issue. the closest we have of a confirmation are "insider sources" that sammobile claims confirms it.

As far as i've been reading, sammobile is not exactly the most reliable source to read from as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] demon-knight:
My understanding of this is if you are running a custom recovery cwm/twrp or modified kernel you will get this exclamation mark, if you run cf auto root for example and a non modified kernel you will not get the red exclamation mark once it has been reset with triangle away.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] tmantanner4:
I'm talking in terms for people that use omega. We all use cwm to install omega, so we will all have the exclamation mark.

Very true, im also thinking of using Philz recovery as it has a lot of features.

You can still use mobile odin to flash Omega while still remaining on stock recovery without exclamation mark using the method I described.

Hi all

I have been on V35 for one week and sudden, my screen was lagging as hell... at the point that some of the symptomes was really as described on the sudden death phones...

A really frozen screen without the possibility to return to the home screen, even on touching the home button or the on/off button the screen doesnt turn off, etc...

So, i have returned to the V32.1, to me, the best one on terms of battery perfomance, and no lags at all.

I lose the multi windows feature, but at the moment i guess i can live without it.

For now, i will live with this one, must stay on Omega, because is the bes custom rom out on XDA for S3, and i have tryed some others.

Keep up the good work Indie and the omegas team, because u are the bests.

Thanx

good morning, i have some question on new bootloader.

1) now j have omega rom 35, and when i boot the phone in to recovery, during booting j see a red exclamation at the top left side of the screen. Now on omega 35 we have the new or the old bootloader?

2) how can I see the bootloader installed on the phone?

3) I understand that the problem ot the old bootloader is that Triangle away works but maybe sudden S3 death at any time. is all right?

4) with new bootloader Triangle away will reset counter but when you enter in Recovery counter will go back to 1, but if after having used triangle way j flash the stock rom with odin the counter remains at zero is all right?

5) with new bootloader the counter remains at zero after having used triangle way j flash the stock rom with odin, and j booting the phone in recovery?

6) in the new release is there the new bootloader? because here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36285967&postcount=41565, i understud that indie not include the new bootloader in omega v36
