can anyone help on this ?

1 - extracting the EXE gives MD5 file not TAR - should i just rename it ?

2 - how or where do i select the rom i want ? i want the clean Sunny rom without all the operators crap...

thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Soulhex:
Nice trick !

Hope its gonna help you - if you have Israeli operator rom and wish to change it to other operator or for your case to SUNNY clean rom then make these steps and you will get your phone without the operator's garbage

1 - Open the dialing screen and type this to get the IMEI code:

*#06#

2 - Write down the IMEI code so you can copy it for later use.

3 - Back to the dialing screen and type the IMEI from step 2 in the following format:

*#272*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX#

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX = replace this with your IMEI

4 - You'll get the following selection screen:

choose one of the operators :

ILO - SUNNY ORIGINAL CLEAN ISRAELI ROM

PTR - ORANGE

CEL - CELLCOM

PCL - PELEPHONE

MIR - HOT MOBILE

After you choose your operator the phone will restart - make sure your battery is full !

NOTE: - once you selecting the operator code all of your DATA will ERASED and LOST!!!!

yeah yeah i know - bad English ;p
[Galaxy S III General] Kap6oHaT:
Or you can go to Sammobile and download any rom you need. Then just flash it.
[Galaxy S III General] Ocean2k:
its one of the badest rom ever, the israeli company almost never update there version and make a huge damage to samsung here in israel.
[Galaxy S III General] Soulhex:
In galaxy 3 there is only one ROM for Israeli market. any Israeli operator's ROM you download from sammobile is the same file. The way you choose the right operator for you is the way i mentioned before, Even if you on Israeli ROM you can do those steps and get clean sunny ROM without flashing and etc... (sunny orange cellcom or whatever you choose)

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

I think the original rom (even in israel) is better then any other ****ty rom out there.. I'm new in android and replaced IOS after 4 years to android. tried so many roms for android and some modification and they all are ****ty and full of bugs (unlike the IOS) . what i am asking for is a good phone to meet my needs which is mosty entertainment needs. games news movies and so on. the original rom is the most stable rom yet !! so dont bother with other roms unless you are bored to death.

Have a great day :)

and dont get me wrong - i LOVE my SGS3

BTW orange just updated to the last ICS update for the galaxy s3 in last week - they also sent to their customers sms to make an OTA update.
[Galaxy S III General] ZeevG:
thanks, your english is perfect... :)

the issue now is that my phone is a Dutch phone - and so is the rom - i bought it in Holland...

now, can i just burn the rom onto my phone and set it to Sunny and "finito" ?

will it work ?

will it update when there are updates ?

thanks once again

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

tried to search there for a rom - found nothing...

any direct link you can send ?
[Galaxy S III General] Ocean2k:
"ZeevG" yes you can, just flash using odin and thats it.

to check and be sure just check that your csc is "ilo" after the flash.
[Galaxy S III General] hykhleif:
my sim card is from cellcom, which one has the best rom cellcom, pelephone or orange, and does it matter if my operator is cellcom and i flash orange rom
[Galaxy S III General] Ocean2k:
"hykhleif" all the operators in israel uses the same baseband, just install the "clean" sunny version (ilo).

it dont metters which rom you use for operator.
[Galaxy S III General] Kap6oHaT:
I bought mine in germany. And the reason that i flashed israeli rom is hebrew keyboard and calendar localization. And I don't feel any difference between roms. Except software. When I flashed the last UK rom from sammobile, then i got Wifi disconnections. So you never know which rom for you is better.
[Galaxy S III General] firefds:
First post updated with link to the new release and detailed information and instructions!
[Galaxy S III General] Viper_21:
Thanks firefds for posting the new ROM. I am new to Android a day have not yet rooted. I have few questions:

1. After flashing with Odin and not changing carrier, will my system settings and apps be as they were?

2. Any idea why sammobile would not showing for this firmware or Orange not sending good me SMS to do ODA update? I think I am asking how this firmware cycle works between Samsung, Sunny, and the mobile carriers?

3. A firmware came out about 3 weeks ago in UK that fixes a crackling sound on the phone when listening to audio via the earphone jacket and screen is off. Does anyone know if this new ROM fixes this problem?
[Galaxy S III General] Viper_21:
I couple of days Iago I received the new firmware via Kies and updated my Galaxy S3.

Firmware info: PDA: JKBLG2 | Phone: JKLF4 | CSC: JKBLG1

However, I noticed that the "Phone/Modem" from Sammy is different to what is offered in the download from "firefds" in the first post of this thread, which is JKALE6

Also I noticed that the latest phone.modem reported for Israel in the [REF] Galaxy S3 Modem / Radio Collection (I9300 & I9300T ONLY) CWM & Odin Flashable thread is: JKLF4 (06/7/2012). I also noticed that one user commented that this phone/modem chews up battery, but I don't know if anyone else noticed this also.

So I was wondering if one of the experts on this thread can clarify the mismatch in phone versions? Which one should we be using? :confused:

Thanks,

Viper21
[Galaxy S III General] firefds:
Ill check the modem version again. Maybe i was wrong as i dont use this firmware

Would anyone here like to trade an American t-mobile SGS3 for an international one?

I have a brand new pebble blue unlocked t-mobile SGS3 (SGH-T999) but I'm starting to think I'd rather get a regular international one.. (I9300... or is it I9300T in Israel?).

The american version has 2gb of ram and a dual-core CPU. The international one has 1gb of ram and a quad-core CPU. Let me know if anyone is interested!!!!

Every time I open my address book (or at least the first time after a reboot) I get this AT&T address book verifying subscriber status popup that takes a while to complete. I have no interest in ever using that service so how can I disable the check and just stop using it at all?

I'm guessing that the answer might be root and remove bloatware but I'm hoping there's a way to just turn it off without rooting. Don't worry I'll be rooting sooner than later but for now I'd like to just get rid of that annoying delay.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PMad:
I havent got my phone yet, should have it within the next 3 hours, but have you looked through the settings, and opened up the AT&T address book app and checked the settings within that app itself?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] erikk:
Yeah. Not seeing any settings for it or actually any AT&T Address Book App at all.

Where exactly did you "check out the programs.. scroll down to sync and disable"?

I don't see anything about AT&T address book anywhere.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenyx:
I have the same issue. Every so often when I go into my phonebook I have to wait for it to check the AT&T Address Book. So now there is a huge lag to access my contacts.

Why do carriers think they should be mobile phone designers? I wish they'd just leave the designing to the people who are good at it.

Over 10 years of buying my own phones out of contract for a reason. I've only had the phone for a few hours. I wonder what other lame surprises await....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenyx:
Ok, I seemed to have fixed it. Not sure which action it was because I was just doing everything I could to make it stop.

First thing I did was to turn off AT&T phonebook in my online account. Log into www.attwireless.com. Under MyAT&T tab, mouse over "Wireless" and select "Usage & Recent Activity". Scroll down to "Members Shared Usage" and click on "view details of the number you're working on. Scroll down to "Minute Detail" and right under that is "Phonebook" with the option to turn it on or off.

At the same time I was doing a lot of flailing around in the the phone. I was Settings page in Contacts and I deleted all the AT&T BS contacts it auto inserted into the phone.

I rebooted and it stopped trying to access that AT&T phonebook. Hope this helps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] duckfart:
1. system setting

2. app manager

3. click on the phone book

4. force stop

Now it will stop and the icon will be removed from the app list. You can do this for all of the apps that will not uninstall till we get root.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kennonk:
In step 3 when you say "the phone book" do you mean the app called Contacts that has an icon that looks like a phone book? When I disable that app my phone dialer icon disappeared making it so I couldn't dial out. Had to re-enable it.

Otherwise, I dont have an app named Phone Book.

How TO Disable ATT Phone Book (address book)

How to TURN OFF the ATT Online Address Book (Phone Book)

The option is in the Wireless Usage Details

Go to your summary and look for a link to see your voice usage details or wireless usage details.

Double check to make sure that you can see all your call listed, otherwise you need to click another link to see USAGE DETAILS for VOICE CALLS

At the top of your calls list is the OPTION to TURN OFF the ATT Phone Book

Persistent Issue

I'm one who's tried all these methods, one-by-one, and in combo, and my phone still launched the damn thing every time after reboot...even though it's still listed as 'Off' in my 'MyAtt' account.

I think my issue might persist because for several reasons:

My phone is on my girlfriend's subscription;

Although I've logged in, and succeeded in turning the [dis]service 'off', I also...

ran the [damn, useless] Ready2Go setup util upon 1st boot, so;

ATT saved the 'settings' [more like, ailment], more than once.

it's possibly even under more 'accounts' with them, since I can login under my own ID on att.com and see most stuff besides billing statements

Yet another reason I will despise ATT to my life's ending ebb, I promise you all.

I HATE 'EM I HATE 'EM I HATE 'EM!

wah.

I've even tried using 'Android Assistant' to kill both 'ATT Address Book' AND the 'ATT Messages' 'services', but it still pops up and makes me wait more than 1 min. every time I want to search my contacts.

Oh, and also unsyncing--that doesn't help me, either.

Oh well--glad to see some of you succeeded...I'm gonna keep looking for some kind of 'app killer' app, maybe like an 'Android Swiss Army Knife', and will root the nanosecond I'm 'allowed' again [dammit, US Librarian!]

Now the option to completely disable it, is no longer available. I had to get a support rep via chat in order to do that. The rep confirmed that option to disable is not available online.

I joined this forum just to share my experience and solution for this incredible aggravating problem. I even ended up schooling an AT&T rep on how to disable this crap. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from AT&T, and the solution is to go into Settings / Application Manager / All / Contacts and Clear Data. Then, look for AT&T Messages and Turn Off. Reboot your device, then open Contacts again, where you should be presented with a splash screen with the option to Cancel or Start Sync with AT&T Address Book. Tap Cancel then OK, problem solved! Hope this helps someone like me!

Update: If this still doesn't work, try going into Contacts / Settings / Contacts / Contacts to display, then uncheck everything under Device and SIM Card.

Some people have an AT&T branded phone on a service provider other than AT&T. In that situation, the dialer code will not work.

You don't need to be rooted to disable the AT&T Address Book on 6.0.1

First thing that worked for me:

Go to Settings > Apps > Application Manager

From the top right menu, choose App Permissions

Go to Contacts, then from top right menu choose Show System

Scroll down to AT&T Address Book (or all AT&T Apps) and turn OFF (system apps show after all user apps, so not necessarily alphabetical order)

Also, you can do this as well for good measure:

Go to Settings > Apps > Application Manager

From the top right menu, choose Change System Settings

From the top right menu, choose Show System Apps

Scroll down to AT&T Address Book (or all AT&T Apps) and turn OFF (system apps show after all user apps, so not necessarily alphabetical order)
