Question, is there a way to force 2G/GSM on a 4G LTE model? Thanks

EDIT: Already tried 319712358 on dialer and made sure that the network is on GSM all. I am still getting a poor reception, more like 2 to no bars at all. Any help?

CYANOGEN MOD 10.1 for E210S/K - All Fix!

hey guys,

like the title of my post says, there is a post on matcl.com referring to cyanogen mod 10.1 for the e210s as well as installation instructions:

http://www.matcl.com/?m=bbs&bid=imbeded&uid=190399. if it makes a difference, i am currently on a shv-e210s running the latest prestige mod and els rom.

with respect to the installation instructions, at the end it says:

"자 그러면 롬파일을 다운받습니다.

(download the rom file)

http://lap.so/mwls 각 통신사에 맞는 파일을 다운받으세요.

(from the link, get the file appropriate to your carrier)

그 다음 구글앱스 알아서 검색하셔서 다운받으세요

(then download google apps on your own)

롬 - > 구글앱스 - > 수정하신 컨버터 이러면 부팅이 될겁니다.

(ROM-> google apps -> edited converter, booting order should do it)"

(translation added)

questions:

1) does anyone have personal experience with using this? if so, are all the issues truly fixed?

2) where do i download the appropriate google apps?

3) is all of this flashed through CWM in the order stated above?

thanks everyone.

I'm assuming you are talking about the 10.2 build?

1. No direct experience (I'm on pac-man myself), but reading through the feedback, it looks to be about as problem free as the i9300 builds.

2. You get the 4.3 gapps, search in xda for instance.

3. Yes, but you need to edit the converter (v3) on your pc before you flash it. Also, don't forget to backup and wipe before you go ahead with this.

Moved from Korea back to the states earlier than we had planned, and had to pay SKT 700,000 KRW to buyout our contract... insane as the phone is only worth like 200,000 now... So I am determined to get this working on a US carrier... from my research, it seems AT&T is the only carrier that will work (850, 1900Mhz GSM frequencies) but online, seems a lot of people have had issues getting it to work. I'm afraid to order to a SIM.

I'm using Siyah kernel and Revolution HD 28 Rom for international S3 with special patch (it fix the problem with not working Mobile Data)

So try to find AT&T compatible Rom for international S3 (or try Revolution HD), flash it, then flash MODEM for E210S and then flash Siyah kernel, I'm 99% sure that Your phone will work....

Here is the link for Revolution HD 29 (cant find 28 but should work too) - http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-SGS3_29.0.zip

Here is the link for Fix for 28`s version of Revolution it should work with 29 - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xy6wx76lkqi9m5z/5IP2-tayvH/e210s_patch_ARHD28.zip

Here is the Kernel Link - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ljmqqx0b...n/SKT/SK_Hyeok_3.0.78-Siyah-s3-v1.9.1-CWM.zip

Here is Modem Link - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xy6wx76lkqi9m5z/cgFDYHsfQ4/SHV-E210S_modem_JMD2.zip

All this must be installed via CWM or another Custom Recovery Mode

1st Rom

2nd Fix

3rd Modem

4th kernel

Also I'm not responsible if Your device will brick after this, but I'm pretty sure that if everything done right then You'll get working device

Good Luck %)

Hey I really need help, I can't flash any Custom ROM, I don't know how, my device has a recovery that doesn't allow me to flash, it appears error with the signature or something like that, and I can't install the CWM Recovery, what can I do? Please help..... :(
[Galaxy S III General] jisoo:
I'm on E210k, but haven't personally tried the new build yet, because I'm not too keen on just CM (I like to have more features), and also think it's too early to go to 4.3 (I'll let others do the bug testing).

Looking at the responses on develoid, though, it seems that this thing is really working for people.

No luck for E210L users, though. I guess that's because those are significantly different.

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 AM ----------

You need to install CWM using Odin. You also need to be aware that the Samsung ROM will try to replace CWM at every reboot, so you should either disable this feature, or immediately replace the Samsung ROM with something else.

[Galaxy S III General] robinkimfoo:
if by rooted rom you mean the pre-rooted stock rom that was supplied, i used it (not the one from bluepremium or whatever it's called), i downloaded the one with like 81 different files and flashed it with odin onto my e210s..works just fine if that answers your question. also has anybody tried out the icarus speedmod kernel? i tried it with the stock rom but i'm afraid to flash it onto my prerooted rom in case theres some sort of conflict.
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Thanks, yah I was talking about the pre-rooted rom.

I am currently just using stock (came with phone) and just rooted.

Im looking at applying the Prestige Kernel though.....can I just flash the Kernel over top of the stock+root that I am using now?

I was thinking that I should just flash a stock rom (the 81 file thingy) and then flash the Prestige Kernel. Since Prestige Kernel comes rooted right?

Haven't tried Icarus, didn't know it was available.....got links?
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
Don't see any reason why you can't flash the kernel over top of your stock. Rooted stock rom is same you are running now, stock and rooted :) I believe I saw the Icarus kernel on matcl.com but it was for LTE so I just pass on by, hehe!
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
The alternative links have been fixed in the OP.

Just remember PRESTIGE MOD ROM IS ONLY FOR THE SKT VERSION OF THE KOREAN GALAXY S

You also need to sign up to the Matpclub page in order to access these ROMs. It is very easy to sign up, just use the built in translator (using Chrome) and you can figure it out.
[Galaxy S III General] robinkimfoo:
heres the link for the icarus

http://matpclub.com/b/imbeded/116355

it's just a variant of the speedmod kernel i believe, but theres a quite a bit of things he did..my korean isn't perfect but for the most part he made some display improvements, namely in text sharpness and colors..i/o scheduler was changed, or was given the option to be changed..most of the stuff that we wanted to change for those of us who remember messin with the original galaxy s. it's also pre-rooted, which raises the question i had earlier for anyone who can pitch in:

does flashing a pre-rooted kernel on top of a pre-rooted rom have any deleterious effects?

really want to be able to, my experience with the speedmod kernel before i switched to a pre-rooted rom w stock kernel was pretty good. it seemed quite zippy, if it's possible to get any zippier already i guess..but i don't really remember what the color tuning did, i guess i'll try it out again lol i'll post back with the results
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
I would honestly just flash back to the Factory ROM and then flash the kernel after that.

There is no sense in risking it, as it is only one more step....and either way you are making a back up to do so.

I think just being on the safe side.....at least that is what I am doing.

Flashing back to Stock without root, then flashing the Kernel that gives root (I am assuming Prestige Kernel has root).
[Galaxy S III General] robinkimfoo:
was somebody able to reupload the factory rom onto a faster server? i was originally planning on doing what you did but that download was so infernally slow haha. thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
I was able to get it from the samsung-update site that is in the OP.

[Galaxy S III General] magicm3n:
M@31

The kernel has no relation to Root. If Root has already been made, you can flash any kernel and Root remain.

You can also flash the PRESTIGE kernel to the stock ROM. And don`t foget to install ExTweaks from GooglePlay to Control many parametres of twiked PRESTIGE kernel like Sound settings and ather.

And who like to listen music, you may hear a sound crackling when screen is off. This is a known problem and Samsung was fixed this to newest ROM for i9300, but now not for corean version.

You can fix it manualy:

1. Need Root.

2. Need to installed Prestige Kernel (not necessarily all of the firmware, enough kernel).

3. Install ExTweaks from GooglePlay (or can find it in XDA forum)

4. Start ExTweaks

5. On CPU tab find "CPU IDLE MODE" and set "Idle only"

6. That's all. Have fun to listen quality music.

[Galaxy S III General] jisoo:
TV will not work in the UK, it only supports a very specific Korean standard.

LTE could work, but depends on the frequency bands and some other technical details so you will just have to try it yourself.

Don't know about the covers, but definitely you should not remove the antenna.

Custom ROM is up to you. There's a good chance some of these will not be updated much further by Samsung anyway.

Should be easy with a different SMS app or custom ROM.

E210s

no you cant use the antenna in uk it supports only the specific frequency of digital broadcasting only in Korea,

for 4G LTE if your mobile carrier is supporting this specific frequency yes you can use 4G

international versions back covers will not fit for the Korean s3 even if u remove the antenna.the plastic pins that fix the cover to phone are different and Korean s3 is 1mm thicker than international s3 so other accessory casing will also will not fit to korean s3

Its better if you can put a custom stock rom bec original stock rom comes with lot of unnecessary Korean SKT telecom application

yes by flashing with a good custom stock rom u can increase sms limit to 160

my advice is better not to remove the antenna

read this thread from beginning from 1st page before you dealing with roms

Replacing LCD screen

Hi everyone,

I cracked my lcd while trying to repair the cracked glass :( so now I need to replace the entire lcd with the glass. I have a few questions regarding this:

1. Can I replace the LCD with any gs3 LCD or would I need one specific for my phone (E210S)?

2. I found a LCD attached to the housing (normal gs3 housing) going for a good price, would I be able to fit the E210S board into this housing? Or would I need to find an lcd with the E210S housing?

3. If I buy the said LCD + housing from the previous question, would it be easy to remove the LCD (and glass) and fit it to my current housing?

SHV-E210L

Hi,

I recently bought a S3 LTE U+ through a friend from Korea. Its a SHV-E210L as far as I can see. It has an antenna and 2gb RAM but the version on the back and in settings is GT-I9300. Is this normal? Does any one else have this or should it be I9305?

In the hidden menus I get LTE options too. I want to flash new ROMs, shall i use I9300 or I9305 versions?

Cheers

Al
[Galaxy S III General] jisoo:
This device is basically an i9300 with an LTE radio. It is not similar to the i9305.

While you can flash an i9300 ROM, you won't have a working cellular connection. You need a ROM specifically for the E210L to make it work.

Edit:

Your current ROM shows up as an i9300 because it is a patched version of an i9300 build. Specifically, you need to patch the telephony file inside framework.jar to enable LTE.

Although there's a way to patch 4.2.2 versions, there's no patch for 4.3 at the moment (though there are people working on this)

Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 will be updated to Android 4.3 in October

Yesterday Samsung confirmed during its Unpacked event that the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy S3 smartphones will get firmware update to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean starting from October, and that the update will include support for Galaxy Gear hardware, and probably refreshed TouchWiz. We should expect that different carriers and regions will release the update at different times, but the official annoucement means that sooner or later the update will come to your smartphone. There are no words on different devices to be updated to 4.3 yet, but we can assume that previous generation of Note “phablet” will also get the 4.3 Update soon.

As always, the firmware will be available for download at our device specific firmware pages, so watch our twitter for notifications.
