Just like to confirm that this is a V2 modem which works with build XXEMH1 which I have installed. I had tried the Ireland 4.3 ROM but found it abysmal and had to back out to a 4.1 ROM but the 4.3 ROM had reformatted my efs partition and I hadn't made a backup, so I ended up going back to EMH1 and had been using the included modem until this one came along. Glad to have a T modem again - thanks!

Anyone know when the 4.2.2 Telstra 3G version will be rolling out?
[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
We can't even be sure when the 4.3 release will come out for international, hopefully within the week. As to when a carrier version, especially an aussie carrier, is anyone's guess! But it won't be 4.2.2, as that's been dumped by sammy, it'll be a 4.3 version, and hopefully a much less buggy one.

Anybody else having issues with the xda app lately. Like clicking on a post will continuously highlight the one proceeding it. Quite annoying. As for OTA updates. Why bother when cm11 (4.4.1) is now officially on our device. Then you have temaseks version which incorporates the new Mali drivers and I can't even begin to describe how much more vivid and vibrant the picture quality is. If you feel bound to samsung, wait for the next official 4.3 drop and mikes subsequent arhd 41 release.
[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. I reckon you won't see it, since there was plenty of hype months and months ago about sammy dumping the 4.2.2 updates in favour of jumping straight to 4.3, and that there hasn't been anything but leaked test builds of 4.2.2, which are already months old. I wonder what the 'plus' release is all about?
[Galaxy S III General] johnny893:
Something was mentioned about 4.3 being unstable as it was and decided to go with 4.2.2.
[Galaxy S III General] holdz:
Will the 4.2.2 Telstra modem work on Vodafone?

Thinking of making the move to BTU 4.3 seeing that the OTA update is out and I don't want to get stuck without a T modem with the new EFS partition.

I haven't tried them myself, but the radio thread suggests that T modems will also work on phones that don't normally have a T modem
[Galaxy S III General] Dakkith:
I'd really appreciate a bit of help with my GT-I9300.

I'm on CM 10.2 and I tried the TDEUMJ1 modem + RIL above. Data works fine on it, but I am unable to receive calls. I can make calls, but the phone locks up when I do (I can't hang up or anything). I'm with Telstra as a carrier.

As I understand it, as I've upgraded to an EFS2 modem, I can't go back to my old XXELLA modem (I did not back up my EFS). I've tried the following modems, all of which all give me no network: XXEMB6, XXEMC2, TDUELL2, XXELL4, XXELLA.

What are my options here? Will re-flashing back to stock help me out? All I'm really looking for is a way to get my phone back to a point where I can receive/make calls!

Cheers. :o
[Galaxy S III General] Dakkith:
Managed to get this going, so posting what worked for me in case it helps someone else.

I re-flashed my Cyanogenmod 10.2 ROM over the top of my current install. It didn't affect the baseband version or anything, but it did get my phone functioning again.
[Galaxy S III General] Yianniz:
Hi fellow aussies, just flashed Telsta modem + ril TDVEMJ1 that zachs_xda extracted to zip and seems to be working good.

I typically have crummy reception where i am fade outs galore.

Also I have interrnational S3 and on zdroid custom rom.
[Galaxy S III General] josetann:
Codes are the same, you just have to invoke them from the terminal.

Not sure if you need to be root (I ran it as root and it worked fine, didn't try without root). Anyways, if you want to go directly to the RF band selection (code ) then enter this in a terminal:

am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://2263

You can substitute other codes in place of 2263; I tried 197328640 and it took me to the Service Menu as expected.

By any chance, is there an Odin flashable tar file of this modem?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S III General] priyana:
I thought Odin can flash a modem.bin directly. No need to be a tar file, or is it different from one Samsung device to another?

UK jelly bean 4.3

Hi all, I have a Vodafone S3 that I installed sammobile AU Vodafone firm ware to get rid of branding and bloatware. Is it possible to use UK version of jelly bean 4.3? On the about device section it says GTI9300 but at the back of the battery is GTI9300T. A little confused with it as kes says it already has latest update which is currently 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S III General] KonTemPt:
Use Odin to flash uk 4.3. Works perfect on i9300T :) I definitely recommend it. I have a i9300T on vodafone also. I find 4.3 to be waaay better than 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III General] Lovelygyrl:
UK jelly bean 4.3

Thanks heaps, do I need to root the phone again
[Galaxy S III General] KonTemPt:
Once 4.3 is installed you wont have root but you can use cf auto root to root phone. You will also have to install super su from the Play store

If you have another modem.zip that you know works with your cm, you can just open up the zip and replace the modem.bin within it, with any modem.bin that you want to flash.

Hi everyone, I have a S3 GT-I9300 which I softbricked. The carrier I am with, Vaya runs on Optus so I flashed the Optus Australia stock firmware however now I cannot make calls and it says I am not registered on the network. Also my IMEI number is 004999010640000 / 01 which doesnt not match with the one behind the battery. I've also tried flashing the Vodafone one with no luck either.

Will flashing the unbranded stock XSA firmware fix this? However I also noticed in the phone info app the country of origin is Vietnam. So flashing the Vietnam firmware will fix this?

I've also read that flashing to a stock 4.3 firmware will fix the issue? Is this correct?

Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Flashed I9300XXEMG4 ROM fixed :D
[Galaxy S III General] electrotune1200:
Yes... The efs folder format was changed with EMG4 firmware.

You can flash any firmware that you wish to. The modem is where the issue lies. (EMG4 or any modem after will be able to access the new efs folder format)

Glad you got everything sorted.

I hooked up my s3 to pc a few days ago, and loaded up kies, and it showed that there is a new firmware available.

I bought my s3 outright aus stock.

Right now it has android 4.1.2 I9300XXELLA build 9300XXEMA2.

Kies was showing , IIRC, new firmware MGA2

Is this update correctly for me?

Also I have installed cf-root and triangle away.

thanks
[Galaxy S III General] h4ck3rc1:
If Kies shows an update, it will be the correct one. Be careful flashing anything past Android 4.3 stock images because if you get the Knox bootloader there is no way to get it off, thus preventing you from putting custom firmware back on.

On a side note, I would recommend trying SlimKat ROM, I am using it currently and it is great

missing PIT file gt-i9300t

Is there any chance someone could extract the PIT file for a Galaxy GT-i9300T (Telstra). My phone is stuck on the boot screen I cannot enter into the recovery mode but only download mode, I tried to flash it with Odin but it keeps saying the PIT file is missed.

Any suggests?
[Galaxy S III General] h4ck3rc1:
I would suggest downloading the stock image from sammobile.com and flash it in the PDA section of Odin if you want to get back to stock, alternately if you want to use a custom ROM, download CWM and flash it with the PDA section of Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] smartypantsphone:
Does kies show a correct new firmware only if it can update as normal, or will it show available new firmware even if I have done cf-root/triangle away?

Do I not have to reverse cf-root/triangle away first?

Any exact steps to take to reverse cf-root + triangle away, update firmware, then reapply cf-root/triangle away?

thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] marcus861:
I tried everything above, but Odin keeps saying there's no PIT file. As you have an i9300T if you are able to extract the PIT file with Heimdall and send it back to me I would really appreciate it. If even with that it won't work it may be hard bricked and there's nothing else I can do.

Sounds like SDS to me.... A pit file won't really help. See if you can return it via warranty. It will need a new MB.
[Galaxy S III General] Revhead:
Just spent a tense couple of nights trying to recover my phone.

I was on Sotmax V23 and everything had been working fine for a couple of months then suddenly it refused to boot - got stuck at the intial Samsung screen.

Tried everything.

It would go into download mode but that was it - I could not get into recovery.

To compound the problem I had recently switched to Ubuntu and was trying to manage the situation from a W7 laptop.

Reading I found many people had had the same problem and many solutions were offered none of which worked for me.

In ODIN it kept giving me error message about no PIT etc.

I was almost ready to give up and check the phone in to hospital for a verdict . . .

Then I reverted to Ubuntu.

In Linux the equivalent of Odin is Heimdall and I switched to this to find a solution. Again nothing seemed to work.

Tried flashing a few stock ROMs but it kept bombing out with a no XML error.

Then I uninstalled Heimdall and reinstalled as root.

I also switched to the rear USB port on my PC.

Then I downloaded a recovery image from here http://download2.clockworkmod.com/re....4.6-i9300.img.

I renamed it to recovery.img and then I flashed it using Heimdall - but NOT using the GUI (or front end as they call it).

I used the command line instead using this command:

"sudo heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --no-reboot" (I added the SUDO command to the original instructioin because it doesn't work without it)

First time it didn't work, second time BINGO!

I might mention there seems to be some problem with Heimdall where you need to boot back into download mode every time you perform another function (so try this if it is not detecting the phone or having problems communicating).

Anyway the second time I tried to flash recovery the blue bar showed it writing to the phone and the Heimdall log showed it had written the recovery image successfully.

I waited a couple of minutes just to make sure and I had my phone back.

Unplugged the phone, pulled the battery, booted into recovery, wiped the caches and restarted.

You can try flashing the recovery image through Odin if you don't have Linux?
[Galaxy S III General] h4ck3rc1:
Yes I have a Telstra i9300T and can send you my PIT if you need it, given that the only difference between the i9300 and i9300T is the modem, I imagine there would be no problem using an international one though. How did you run in to problems with the partition, did you accidentally check the re-partition box in Odin?
[Galaxy S III General] Revhead:
You don't need a PIT - didn't you read my post.

You need to put it into download mode and reflash a recovery.

Once you can get into recovery you're good to go - trust me I spent many hours trying to get mine to work.
[Galaxy S III General] marcus861:
I've recentely flashed my phone with an android 4.2.2 rom, it's been working fine for a couple of weeks, then I left it under charge during the night and the following morning it was stuck on the boot screen. I tried to flash it again with a stock rom but odin keeps say "no pit file found". It may be a SDS although on the download mode it recognizes the phone model which gives me an hope. Let's give it a try with a pit file for i9300t 16gb. Can u attach it in here?

I have been really busy with other stuff the last couple days sorry. If I ever get back to my computer and get a chance, I will attach it for the sake of having a file to test with. Revhead seems to think you do not need it though.... have you tried his advice?

Hey guys,

Just switched over from Aldimobile to Amaysim. I had really good performance on Aldi because I had flashed relevant telstra firmware.

What should I flash now to improve performance? Also is there a way to just flash CSC or whatever is relevant without having to wipe?

Should I bother with 4.3?
[Galaxy S III General] electrotune1200:
I9300XXUGNB4 (XSA Unbranded) is what I'm using at the moment. Not a bad firmware.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27156
[Galaxy S III General] shoalinagent:
AFAIK amaysim uses the optus network, which is standard baseband etc. Any Rom will suffice and won't impact performance. Carrier bloat however, will impact performance severely

i9300 | archidroid 1 | boeffla
[Galaxy S III General] h4ck3rc1:
What do you mean by good performance? I presume you mean network or 3G performance as you are referring to changing network to do with performance. If that is the case, the modem.img (or baseband) is the part that makes the difference. All stock firmware comes with it's own baseband but custom ROMs don't, so it depends on what you are using and also a bit of trial and error with coverage in your area.

As for CSC, unless you are changing the country you live in you shouldn't need to change it but this might help you:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector

Unfortunately changing the CSC will wipe your ROM so make a backup.
[Galaxy S III General] sirs2k:
Hey guys, thanks for the replies.

Yeah sorry I should have explained a little better. I meant the performance of network.

Right now I have 4.1.2 baseband TDUEMB1, I believe that is for telstra which is why I flashed it when I was using Aldi.

Which baseband/modem would you guys recommend for optus network and will it require a wipe?

P.S Bloatware has been removed

cheers
[Galaxy S III General] h4ck3rc1:
You are correct, MB1 is the modem for the i9300T. The main difference is that it's optimised for the 850MHz band. You would want just the standard international modem for Optus. By the way, the main difference changing your modem will do is give you a fix on the best signal and do it quicker, it won't really improve your download speeds.

[Galaxy S III General] electrotune1200:
Thanks for the heads up on this. Just flashed it on my I9300T.

Coming from the UGNB4(XSA) build which I liked a lot, this seems really smooth as well.

I was surprised though that Telstra has cut back a bit on installed bloat.

Not a bad firmware all in all.
[Galaxy S III General] h4ck3rc1:
Does the Telstra stock 4.3 have Samsung Knox installed with the Knox enabled bootloader?
[Galaxy S III General] samorgs:
To be honest I don't know. Have not played with it much yet to see what changes there are.
[Galaxy S III General] h4ck3rc1:
Would you mind checking in the app draw to see if Knox is there? Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] samorgs:
Had a look and not there. So presume it is not included with the rom.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] h4ck3rc1:
Thanks for checking that out. The only way to tell for sure as far as I'm aware is by the stock recovery and see if it has a Knox Security 0x1 or 0x0 flag.

If you are able to install a custom recovery then that is a sure sign it's not on there.

I9300 (International) on NEXTG

Hi.

My wifes old phone died a few weeks ago and I jumped on ebay and got an old S3 without realising there was a specific Telstra variant (i9300T).

The phone works with her NextG sim but the network signal strength is poor and the data rate is rubbish.

From what I have read there is very little difference between the i9300 and the i9300T. The phone is running already 4.3.

Can I flash the Telstra ROM for the i9300T (DUUGNC1) to the i9300 or can I just get the modem image from this ROM and flash that?
[Galaxy S III General] andrewbat:
My understanding I'm afraid...is even off you use the specific telstra modem...it still won't help as the mhz frequencies that the two phones are capable of are different as thus you can't grab what telstra uses...

Hope that makes sense
[Galaxy S III General] aling77:
Bummer.

It is strange that it works at all then. I would have thought it would work fine or not at all. The *#0011# seems to indicates the phone network is on the NextG frequency (WCDMA 850 band 5).
[Galaxy S III General] h4ck3rc1:
The difference between i9300 and i9300T is the modem and that's it. If you want to flash an international (i9300) firmware then you can if it is a custom ROM, but as far as I know, you cannot flash official firmware for a different model because official firmwares include the modem and would probably result in a soft brick

Install new DXLF3 Modem on I9300T

Hi, i want to install the modem DXLF3 on my Vodafone S3, I9300T, running 4.3.

Issue is, the earpiece and microphone don't work on phone calls (but work with other functions), and i read that using this modem can fix the problem.

I've rooted the phone, but just have stock firmware on it. I don't really want/need a custom rom, just need DXLF3 modem to make it work.

Can i just install the modem using Odin, or do i have to install a new rom which includes DXLF3 modem?

My current details are:

Model: GT-I9300T

Version: 4.3

Baseband: I9300TDUUGNA2

Build: JSS15J.I9300TDUUGNA4

thanks:good:
[Galaxy S III General] h4ck3rc1:
You can install the modem with Odin or a custom recovery depending on how it has been packaged.

The modem.bin is separate to the kernel and the firmware so it is quite common for people to change firmware (ROMs) whilst not touching the modem.

I could be wrong, but the modem firmware should not affect the earpiece or microphone function at all, that would be taken care of by the kernel.

Given that you are on stock firmware, i would back up all your data, then do a factory reset and data wipe.... Failing that, i would try downloading the latest official firmware from sammobile.com and install with Odin, then factory reset.
[Galaxy S III General] JoshR81:
Hey thanks dude. The reason why i wanted to install this modem, is that i read somewhere that others have had success with this, in fixing their problem with the earpiece and mic during calls.

Others have suggested that i try a custom rom first.

I have no data on the phone. I've done many factory resets and data wipes. Sorry when i said "stock firmware", i meant "latest official firmware from sammobile". lol :o
