[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReaperBR:
Hey guys, Im new here

I just bought my GS3 and I dont have too much experience, its my first android phone

I already read a lot about rooting it....still have some doubts

If I flash it with a different firmware, not from my region (Im from Brazil, so lets supose I flash it with a Canadian FW) it will stop working? Thats the only thing I must avoid to NOT BRICK THE PHONE right? Is there anything else I must avoid?

Another last thing.....if the phone is turned off (due to lack of energy or anything else) during the flash of a firmware/rom it wont boot anymore?

Thank you guys

download from checkFUS....lols! XXALF6 is the stock firmware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9Lukas5:
If you flash a firmware for antoher region than your own, it could happen that the phone is in a unknown language and maybe get worse signal because the modem wasn't made for your region. But you can't brick it because of that.

The nearly only way to completly hardbrick a samsung galaxy phone is if you flash any nonesense into the bootlaoder, but as long as you don't do that, you can always bring your phone back to life by flashing a stock firmware or recovery and from there a custom rom with Odin. ;)

yo! I've read the OP in this thread and in some others but I really REALLY want to be 100% certain, that's why I'm asking. My phone is 3-branded but I should be able to flash any european unbranded stock rom via ODIN right? And then if I need to flash the original stock from 3, e.g. for warranty issues, there won't be any problems to just flash that back? AFAIK EU countries use the same standards.

GT-I9300 ZNLF4 / China Unicom / Failed Flash

Hi Intratech & team

First time poster, big fan of this thread!

My GT-I9300 was purchased from Shanghai, China(Unicom). Did not have access to Playtime, Youtube, Facebook, etc.(all banned in China.)

Tried to fix this problem by flashing XXALE8 firmware using Odin (GT-I9300_BTU_I9300XXALE8_I9300OXAALE8_I9300XXLE8.tar.md5)

Did not root device.

Is there any decent chance of bricking the device? Or is it just hardly more than hypothetical? I got kind of addicted to modability and choice when I had a rooted S1, but the actual of rooting it makes me very nervous. How many stories of bricked devices have there been?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphaelmo:
Guys, I was wondering what are the real implications of using a different CSC of your area? I'm in XABLFB version of the CSC and wanted to understand why I should use the ZTO version.

Yes, I know that the CSC has information about APN, MMS etc ... I've never used MMS, but for sure I use mobile phone network, right? I connect with no problems on the network of TIM (Brasil). So I'm in doubt about If I will keep the CSC XABLFB or not.

This has anything related to how the numbers are entered and showed (ex: xx-xxxx-xxxx, which is as it appears today on my mobile)? Is this will help to avoid those messages (this number is not valid - or something)? Someone could help me to answer those questions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphaelmo:
Ok, sorry! So If there´s no implications, why people still recomend to change the csc???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burco:
I think a useful property for stock users is that it governs the updates you may receive. In general UK roms are updated pretty soon. So if that is important to you go ahead with that. Also some CSC are provider specific, and you may end up with provider crap.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benetton8:
Yes, already tried to re-flash again with Odin with XXALE8 firmware again but failed again at exactly the same point. i think its when the modem was downloading.

The phone is stock I9300ZNALF4, is it possible its incompatible with XXALE8? What other stock firmware would you recommend to flash into phone so it can have access to Google Play, Facebook, etc?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amanoo:

Quite a big ROM. I'm used to ROMs about 100MB big. Then again, that was on the Galaxy S1.

Help! constantly on roaming!

Hello every1,

I am a n00b and have just switched to android from BB,

I got my samsung GS3 I9300 from India,

I am currently studying in USA, and have a T-Mobile connection.

My query:

I just updated my SGS3 to 4.0.4, after the update, I see the roaming signal is constantly on, even when I am not roaming!

(The R above the signal bar)

I have confirmed this in the about device part of the settings.

I have only rooted my phone using CF-root.

Below are the specifications of my mobile phone,

Model - GT - I9300

Android Version - 4.0.4

Baseband Version - I9300DDLF3

Kernel Version - 3.0.15-782020-user

Build Number - IMM76D.I9300XXBLFB

Device Status - Modified ( I have super user and CWM manager installed)

AP - I9300XXBLFB

CP - I9300DDLF3

CSC - I9300DDBLF3

I am assuming that I need to change the CSC code to something which will reflect United States,

I also checked the SALES CODE which is set to INV - India.

Please tell me my plan of action,

I dont know anything so also direct me on how to take backups and everything.

Help much appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Sprint Galaxy S3 - Problem with CF-Root-SGS3

Hi all,

I tried to follow a procedure at cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-50008588/ (Yes, I should have followed the xdadevelopers procedure) and have had no luck. My device was purchased through Sprint a couple of days ago in the US. Here is what happened:

Installed Kies on Mac, backed up device data. Then moved into Windows for the rest:

Didn't get the Samsung drivers before trying

Downloaded Odin3 (an old 1.x version)

Grabbed CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.zip (not 6.4)

Followed steps to turn on downloading, click PDA and select the .TAR

Click Start

Got a "<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed" message as it starts and a big red "Fail!" at top.

Researched procedure at beginning of this thread.

Grabbed CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip

Grabbed Odin3-v3.04

Installed Samsung USB drivers

Installed Kies (latest version)

Retried PDA and got the same error in Odin3.

On the device, I get an "unsupport dev_type" message in red each time I try.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. Now when I try to boot the device, I get a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" message. Any help getting back to a functioning device would be wonderful. I'd like to root it, but perhaps the CF-Root version isn't working with the Sprint north American device for some reason. Thanks in advance.

stuck

Well, I'm kind of stuck :( First of all, I'm new at samsung/odin coming from htc.

*Oh, well, nevermind. I have solved this. Power+Home+volume up, entered a strange looking CWM, it must have been that of Cyanogen, reset data and cache and phone restarted. I have reseted once again, just to be shure. Then returned to normal, thanks to a nandroid backup I did right before everything happened

My phone is

AP:I9300XXALF5

CP:I9300XXLF5

CSC:I9300OXFALF2

I rooted succesfully with Odin and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar from here. Then I used CWM to have latest Cyanogen nightly cm-9-20120716-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip installed succesfully. Installed gapps also. Then I tried to restart in recovery in order to install LFB modem but room manager didn't worked. Restarted the phone in download mode and flashed stock rom from sammobile.com. Odin stated the flash was succesfull, the phone restarted, had the animated logo with sound then remained stuck with Samsung logo on screen and logo pulsating with blue/cyan lights. Reflashed but same results.

I'd really appreciate any help with this. Many thanks!
