And not updating to 4.2.2 for S3 and Note 2 customers will mean Samsung will lose them. Of course they don't care at all once you've bought the device! I for one have had enough and will be selling my S3 for a Nexus 5. With hacking and stuff, I can easily get the S3 stuff on Nexus and get faster updates so why buy Samsung?
[Galaxy S III General] Samsungamberbrown:
Can I just flash this via Cwm?
[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
No, only via odin PC or mobile odin.

Thanks is there any point in flashing this rom of its unstable

What 4.2.2 rom do you suggest
[Galaxy S III General] Abyv:
Once S5 comes out S4 would be having same fate ;)
[Galaxy S III General] sarbe:
Sotmax 4.2.2 custom rom has been very good for me.
[Galaxy S III General] RaphaDroid:
And we (S3 owners) will be at the same situation of the GS2 owners! That won't even hear about updates anymore! :crying:
[Galaxy S III General] frnkly:
so every year a new phone comes out and old ones are put put to pasture....they then stop support for old phone/s and squeeze you in to new model if you choose to.

Thats business for you they are not here to makes us user happy ...only make money(look at apple )...If you dont like how a company runs then dont buy there phone...

But we all like what they sell and by which ever one we like at the time of release.

I have an s3 and will keep unitl i want newer model..if no updates come after 6 months to a year then fine cause thats how phone cycles work...
[Galaxy S III General] lucalunardi:
Scheduled obsolescence... That's all about money in the right pocket, in this case Samsung pocket.

What I think reading all of this is that I mostly agree with all the complaints and observation either about the ROM and the updates. Therefore what we can not forget is that beside nexus devices, the situation in the other manufacturers are the same or even worse. I'd love to get a nexus device but it's price here in Brazil is prohibitive and I'd sure miss a lot of sammy's software features.

If the problem is all about updates or crappy software on a snappy hardware we can always move to an AOSP alternative.
[Galaxy S III General] Painman1963:
The S3 is a year old and it's still getting updates. Talk is we'll see 4.3 in the next few months. Then there will be a couple of minor bug fix updates like 4.1.1 & 4.1.2 and by then the phone will be18 months old. Most folks have a 2 year contract so that means at worst you get 6 months with no updates before you upgrade your phone. If you're not upgrading your phone every 2 years then what the hell do you expect?
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Don't forgett s2 its still being updated!!! More then 2 years after launch.
[Galaxy S III General] Painman1963:
I know, and that just adds fuel to my argument. I stopped at 18 months but could easily have gone for 2 years using the S2 to back up my claims.

I feel for people who are buying these phones at bargain bottom prices a year after release but I think that 2 years of official support plus what the developers here are doing (God bless them) is a pretty damn good deal.
[Galaxy S III General] RaphaDroid:
Yup buddy, you're right! And don't forget CM Team(God bless them a lot), wich gives some devices versions that don't even exist on official support! :D
[Galaxy S III General] Painman1963:
I like TW and a couple of the 'S' apps (I know, I know) so I try to stay as stock as I can but the CM Team make awesome Roms and as you say they support a very broad range of devices. Good bless them indeed
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:

"Master Key" Vulnerabilities Universal Patch

Since this firmware has the Master Key (Bug 8219321) vulnerability already patched, (as personally checked by the Bluebox Security Scanner app and SRT App Scanner, refer to images at the bottom of the post) but it is still vulnerable to the Second "Master Key" (Bug 9695860), I suggest you guys to install the patch Master Key Dual Fix .

Refer to images below.

Installation steps (by @Tungstwenty)

1. Make sure the Xposed Framework is installed.

Follow the instructions on the thread. Root is required only during installation, it is no longer required afterwards. Only ICS or above is supported.

2. Install the Master Key dual fix module.

3. Follow the Xposed notification about a new module being available, and on the list of modules activate Master Key dual fix

4. Reboot the device (a Soft reboot is sufficient)

After that, check with SRT App Scanner to see if both vulnerabilities are now patched.

ALL CREDITS TO @Tungstwenty, every involved developers, and Google.

Reminder>> Make a backup to avoid any risks, nobody shall be responsible.

Before>

After>

Looks like I'm reverting back to 4.1.2 until 4.3 comes out next year.

While this version is great for use now, in the long term the battery life is a killer for me. I can live with 3 hours screen time for a month or so longer but if you're going to make me wait another age for 4.3 I need my 5 hours screen time back.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Thats what I did one month ago.

To be honest I am not waiting for a new release desperately as long as 4.1.2 is stable. :p

It's should be the fake one. I am using latest 4.2.2 leaked n there is no "hardware version" under the "build number". And normally it will write "4.3"but not "4.3.0".
[Galaxy S III General] HAAAAAATIUUUU:
Obviously its fake, compare it to the screenshots of android 4.3 on galaxy S4 and you'll see that this is absolutely fake. And if there are going to be screenshots of android 4.3 touchwiz, it should be running on Galaxy S4 or yet Note III. And you can edit your build prop and post some screenshots that you are running android 4.3 ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Casper cobain:
actually its true the 4.3 is being used instead of 4.2.2 on s3 as its being now tested by Samsung software developers ;)

Update: Seeing as how the kernel version and build date in the image are the same as those found on Android 4.1, then either the software is not finalized, or the build.prop has been tweaked to show a different Android version.

After my first attempt to flash via odin failed, I ended up with a softbrick. Don't ask me why, I was really exhausted that day. Anyways, so on the second try it worked. I played with the new leak a little bit but soon I had enough and flashed back CM. Then I noticed that there's no red exclamation mark on the upper left corner of the splash screen. My counter says 31 and system/binary status is UNOFFICIAL, but no exclamation mark as it used to be there. I have triangle away installed but haven't used it for a couple of months. Am I the only one?

Frayaab is/was there anything different in that firmware from ufme7 ?
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
Well first of all, a firmware gets leaked (and SamMobile makes it public) not the company leaks the firmware purposely. If it is on purpose, it won't be called leak.

And I don't see a point to have UFME8 (unless it has more features from S4, specially the camera) because from UFME3 to UFME7 there weren't any big changes and worse would be from UFME7 to UFME8.

And who knows if UFME8 was never built/finished.

And Frayaab said if he has a leak, he will publish it.
