Hi,

I'm currently using your DLJ4 Odex ROM, with DLID modem and DLJ4 for csc. right now, i plan to update to DLJ5 with a NEDLI1 modem but would like to retain DLJ4 for my csc, is that possible?

Is full wipe required to flash DLJ5 Deodex on top of my DLJ4 Odex? also, can I swith to any modem's to try on the list? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
Hi.

I do not know. succeed or not, I tried to flash with the Russian csc - lj2, but nothing worked. Also, I could not start a new modem ddlj1 on my c3. So wait until the release of the new European csc ...

Hi for some reason now my device status has changed to modified from normal after flashing the latest update?.
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
this status live their lives, the relationship can not be traced...
[Galaxy S III General] despy1989:
That's fine and I don't mind that. But the device binary counter also changed to 1 which had never happened with your Rom before. I had to use triangle away to get it reset to 0 and all is well now :)

The device status still says modified but that can easily sorted by flashing stock unmodified Rom if I need that.

That's weired. I did a clean install, but my device status is Normal.

[Galaxy S III General] electrotune1200:
Just a quick question...

The pit file that is included in the I9300 emergency recovery firmware, is that safe to use with all 16/32/64 GB models of the international I9300?

I just want to make absolutely sure...

And thank you to the developer that has made these firmware's available. Absolute legend. :)
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
O, it's very interesting, I look this only after flash chinese modem into international s3...
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
it's firmware, isn't for flash every day, it includes bootloader, trusted zone and select location - has risk...
[Galaxy S III General] electrotune1200:
I know... I wouldn't use this as an everyday firmware.

Trying to help a user...

His SGS3 one day froze at the boot screen. Returned it for warranty and was sent back un-repaired. The Samsung tech noted the system status was modified. I know this guy never flashed a firmware of any sort on this device.

Now after trying to flash a stock Vodafone firmware, comes up with the no pit partition error in Odin. Then I stumbled across this thread.

I figured that would be a good reason to try flashing this recovery firmware. I just want to make sure of the pit being alright to use for a 16GB model.

I just want to get this SGS3 up and running, so we can get it back to the stock firmware. Have absolutely no access to recovery... just download mode.

Thank you for your help.
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
Version of the memory size has no effect on firmware, all rom actually pit also the same for all version of memory...
[Galaxy S III General] electrotune1200:
Thank you so much...

I used to pit flash with the SGS I9000, just haven't used a pit for the SGS3. I just wanted to make sure before we proceed.

You are a legend providing these firmware's for situations like these. All of the best to you.

[Galaxy S III General] Fallen04:
I am curious to know if you managed to get the issue sorted. My phone died this morning and I have the same problem. Odin fails each time I try to flash stock firmware.

Edit

Tried flashing the recovery firmware, no luck. Odin fails with the meagre no pit partition error. So will be sending the phone away to be repaired under warranty...

[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
Maybe a bit ot, but if I dd my system.img I get a file the same size as the partition.

Anyway to remove the empty space? Because my /system is only 678mb, would be nice to make the system.img the same.

Thx :)
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
Hi Perka, i'm glad to see you in my thread...

If you will use after dd copy your system ext4_utils, this cut your emty space on 1/4, and if after this zip package to 9 level, you win more 1/4, so will be half...

Try coperfield from my signature...
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
Thx for quick reply.

So what do I do with ext4_utils?

I have it, but dont know how to cut out empty space with it :)

Or would it be faster and easier to make a .img and format it to ext4?

Then fill it with my system.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/Perka/system.img count=1 bs=900M
(Create an empty file 900Mb size:

Enter this code in the terminal as root to format the image with ext4.

mkfs.ext4 /home/Perka/system.img

Some cmds from here I guess :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081239

and here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22798858&postcount=32
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
To cut an empty space can not be, because it is ready file system, can only be compressed. This makes ext4_utils

and why 900M?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/Perka/system.img count=1 bs=4096 - block size

size of sistem.img s3 for mkfs.ext4 = 1536M...

so:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/output.img bs=4096

make_ext4fs -s -l 1536M -a system_new.img

send my google talk
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
900M gives a 900mb empty system.img, just an example :)

my idea:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/Perka/system.img count=1 bs=900M
mkfs.ext4 /home/Perka/system.img
mkdir -p /home/Perka/mount-img
mount -o loop -t ext4 /home/Perka/system.img /home/Perka/mount-img
fill the .img with files
umount /home/Perka/mount-img
./mkuserimg.sh -s /home/Perka/system.img ./system_custom.img ext4 ./temp 1536M

As you see I am a noob ;)

EDIT: Should be like this?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/Perka/system.img count=900MB bs=1

EDIT2: this method is to make a system.img not dd from device :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/zero
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
ok, but block size wrong bs=900M

bs=4096 into ext4 fs always!

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/output.img bs=4096
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
thx will try some of this tomorrow, as I have to go up early and work tomorrow :p

Also this looks like it should work.

sync; sudo ./ext4_utils/make_ext4fs -s -l 1536M -a ./temp ./system.img /home/Perka/mount-img

taken from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2039411

will try your tool also :)

what size you get on the system.img? (GT-I9300)
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
the same stock firmware, provided that the partition will not be changed
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
So what would be the way to get the system.img same size as /system?

As I see it a waste of space and bandwidth to dl 1.2gb system.img when you can get a ~700mb system.img
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
Well to cut a blank space is meaningless, for the reason that it will remain unused by marking the pit file, or even have to edit the pit
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
So even just to get a smaller file to download?
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
For this I'm use

zip -9 I9300XXXXXX.zip ./XXXXXXX.tar.md5

If before compress tar.md5 has 1.2GB, after this zip has near 800MB...
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
So by having a tar.md5 700MB then zip it and you will have a 540MB zip? thats 260MB diff, and for many with limited internet, well thats a lot :p

Also I would like to learn how to remove empty space from system.img, if you know, pls teach :)
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
You can instead 1536M make a 768M or 896M - this will work, but I think it will condemn users - for unused space :o
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
ah yea found this

mkuserimg.sh [-s] SRC_DIR OUTPUT_FILE EXT_VARIANT MOUNT_POINT SIZE

So by flashing a 800MB system.img will limit the /system to 800MB?

Hmm thats not good :p

I guess the zip method is best then :)
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
absolutely!!! because 1536MB - it is layout of a PIT file for system partition SGSIII...
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
So how big system do we need?

:p

Damn Im out lol

Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day

Do You know something about 4.0.4 update?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
looking professionally on their stocks, their display division already lost 60% of their stock value comparing about 12-14 months back, so currently LG is no good investiment at all.

but on the topic of development, LG decided to put alot more effort into licencing security and abuse, so upgrading the o4x platform is a little bit more work probably comparing to other vendors which looks a little more western on their opensource and openminded politics.

remember that LG comes from a society where dupe's are all around and copyrights on copycats are important piece of their product. so their social thinking is far from openminded since their daily spirit in a sharing community is totally black and filled with copycat clones and people stealing other developers work and companies selling cheap fake models.

LG got too much asian culture where some of the others like samsung got more western like appreciation, although being 100% Korean :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Winudert:
We will get another small 4.0.3 update (V10e) and later in Q4 JB.

Not that bothered about JB to be honest. I rarely keep a phone longer than a year, so I'll be onto JB (or newer) on some other device before too long.

I got mine yesterday. I wasn't aware of locked boot loader but found out when I was trying to root and flash cm10 (dont exist).

Personal opinion. I regret buying one, only because it has locked boot loader.

On positive side, the phone is good, speedy and smooth enough. The only reason I bought this phone is that I got a cracking deal on it.

Lg are noobs! They will lose a lot of customers for being stupid! They don't allow us to flash any other roms, at the same time they don't update it soon enough. :mad:

Really? The vast majority of smartphone users do not root their devices and do not install custom roms. Locked bootloaders are only a problem for people like us that like to muck about with our phones. The vast majority also wouldn't know ICS from Jelly Bean. Most users just want something that works.
