Hey, I was wondering if i can flash a different rom than the current one if have. If yes, then what would be the best one to flash because the current one I have gets absolutely no updates and I want to flash one that gets the updates the day they are released or shortly after. I’m new to this if you can’t already tell so as much help/advice as possible would be greatly appreciated ;p

Alright, so i was flashing CM10 using Odin and that didnt work. So as recommended by fellow users on the Q&A section, i pulled out the battery and installed the stock XXALE8 rom. I tried installing the stock rom twice but Odin would always fail midway. Then i decided to re-download XXALE8 and this time Odin successfully installed the rom ( though it took about 3 minutes ) but now my phone is just stuck on a bootloop. I can go into download mode and flash XXALE8 again but that brings me back to the bootloop. What should i do?

I realize i will probably have to wipe data or cache or whatever before changing roms but how can i wipe data without being able to access the recovery?

Shut phone .... Volume Up plus Home plus Power.

You will get into recovery. Wipe Cache .... and then Data Partition. Bye bye boot loop.

Hello guys,

I am relatively new to this forum as you may see by looking at my post count.

I have some doubts. Yesterday I flashed the JB official update (for Poland) and I wanted to change my CSC to Spain. I have an unbranded Galaxy S3 bought in Spain. What is the CSC i need? I can't seem to find the "XW" equivalent in CSC code, and the only CSC package available is for Orange (Spain). What can I do ?

Oh also, please it it be noted that I am trying to change CSC by trying to use both, the keypad command and the CSC Select app from Play Store. The first method won't really do anything, when i finish typing everything it just doesn't do anything. As for the app, it crashes ("com.android.phone stopped working")

My phone info read I9300XXBLH1 before I flashed it (if it helps, at all)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
PDA refers to the build version of the software/firmware

Phone refers to the baseband/modem version

CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.

A Problem you may get when rooting

Hiya,

Many thanks firstly for the excellent guide. One thing i found when i done this was after flashing the firmware with odin as per the instructions given the phone reboots and then i had this problem with this message and phone very slow and unresponsive.

android.process.acore has stopped working.

After a couple of hours messing about what i ended up having to do was a hard reset on the phone which when the loaded i had to select wipe cache and wipe data - after this the flashing worked fine and i was able to flash the firmware and root the phone and put my custom rom on.

On further investigation it appears that this error message is caused by contact syncing such as syncing contacts with google.

Please be warned that you may get this error if you like i do have no contacts on the phone or sim and use google to store the contacts and then sync with that.

The best thing to do if you do this is prior to flashing the firmware go into the phones sync settings and not remove all of the accounts in there that you sync so that no sync occurs this should thn prevent you having the problems i did.

If you like me have found out too late and need to hard reset your SGS 3 then follow the information below:-

Turn phone off

Press and hold Volume Up and Home (center key) button

Press and hold Power button(right hand side) until the phone vibrates

Wait until you see the Android logo then release all the buttons

Select Wipe Date/Factory Reset with Volume Down button then Press Power(right hand side)

Select Yes -- Delete All User Data with Volume Down button then Press Power

After Format Press Power again to reboot the phone.

Once this has done the phone should reboot and it will be back to factory issue state and you can then start to go through the procedure given here to Flash the Firmware/Custom Rom.

Hope this info helps and saves you a couple of hours or more of headache.

I also tried flashing the phone using ODIN to Gingerbreed, then back to ICS 4.0.3 but I see there is a lot of different official stock firmware with different extensions. I need the correct one which can wipe and fix or over write my camera firmware. By the way, I already read all camera thread on this forum.

I will give you my phone IMEI maybe you can help to find which official stock firmware is the correct one for my phone. Please help me.
