After 2 days of testing, I found a lot of problems:

* Random Restarts

* Battery life very low after this update

* Photos without manual focus impossible

* 3rd Party camera apps doesn't show SD card

* System doesn't use SD card

* File Manaller doesn't see SD card inserted

* If you make a format of the SD You will got a system.mui problem and restarts

* Don't goes to sleep mode, If I recived one email the buttons switching on and never foes off... (Changing preferences is possible to change)

etc,etc

The ROM is good but now I want to try another.... BUT ... and HERE IS MY PROBLEM:

Now I put new update for CM11 20131209 in internal SD card

Put the phone on with HOME+UP VOLUME+ON (pressing forever) LOGO AND BLACK SCREEN (pressing 1 min) RESET NORMAL

I can't enter in recovery mode... some kind soul could help me?

GT-i9003L

Hi, instead of a GT-i9003, I have a GT-i9003L (I think the L stands for "LATAM" (it's fom Movistar Argentina)). I was wondering if the root procedure with ODIN was the same for the two models (SuperOneClick failed for me). And if I can root it with ODIN, which is my firmware or where can I find it. The same question goes for custom ROMs, can I install a GT-i9003 ROM on my device?

Maybe this helps: Model number: "GT-I9003L", Firmware version: "2.3.6", Baseband version: "I9003LUBLH1", Kernel version: "2.6.35.7-CL1179133 se.infra@SEP-41 #1", Build number: "GINGERBREAD.UBLH1"

urgent reanimation measures needed

Hey there!

First, I'm blown away how the community came back to live again.. Some 15 months ago I couldn't find any more devs on my beloved 9003 and now this.. so thanks so much in the first place! x)

Why I need your help: as I said, some 15 months ago I dived into rooting and modding the first time and brought my phone to the wonderful Version:

aokp_galaxysl_mileston-6

Kernel:

2.6.35.7-CL615624

vurrutKER_CM9@ubuntu #1

I wanted to go on and dive deeper, but as it seemed to me the dev was dying and I setteld on that version..

Now different things happened:

- I got a pebble and I can't connect it, seems like the bluetooth on the phone is not working (correctly)

- I can't connect to my computer! When I plug the usb, I hear the connection sound, but nothing happens and the phones doesn't show the connection option

- The overall performance of the phone dropped over the time

Soo, my big question is: How can I get a new mod on my phone without having the usb available and is there any mod nicely going along with the pebble (or any other bluetooth devices)

Thanks again a lot guys (and all beautiful nerdy hacker girls), keep it up, the noobs in the forum world will admire you forever!

Having storage problem after upgrade to JB

Hello, i am new here~ recently i updated cm10.2 alpha 4, but i faced a problem that's i cannot detect my sd card (internal/external) camera/gallery unable to use, i've also tried cm10.1 alpha 9 the problem is still persist.

It's there any solution on this? cause I've searched the forum and googled, but no luck:(

ps: the problem won't happen in stock rom (2.3.6), but i wanted my i9003 to be upgraded JB without having this frustrated problem! :confused:

i fixed the problem, if anyone had a problem like me, just go to the storage and mount the sd card

Magnetic Sensor

Hi. I'm using CM 10.2 alpha 4 on my i9003 and apps* that try to read the magnetic sensor fail. Is there any fix for this?

* Compass gives "Magnetic Sensor Error!!"

By the way, on stock ROM my i9003 magnetic sensor works properly. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

I got help from a friendly user before and read a bit about the different ROMs.

Now I settled for SlimBean 4.3. When I Read the Install instructions, I'm completely confused: The Links provided, especially "Slim-4.3.build.1.6-WEEKLY-1193-GalaxySL-JLS36G-Alpha3.zip", don't contain any MD5 files or something that I could put on my PDA DDLF2 Phone via Odin.

The ZIP contains already what looks like the final file structure including busybox and some SH files. What should I put into the PIT / BOOTLOADER / PDA / PHONE / CSC fields in Odin?

And what is a GAPPS file and how do I install it?

Cheers!

No bro, custom roms allways flash thru custom recovery(cwm,twrp...), only stock roms can be flashed with odin. Flash first proper cwm recovery and then flash custom roms. Look for cf-root here in xda, it contains cwm.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] acuicultor:
Flashing 1file firm is like an update(no repartion), flashing 5/4files firm you "clean" all partitions and start from fresh firm. [ 5files=data wipe, 1file=upgrade existing rom]

Just a suggestion, if you planning to start to flash roms i recomend to flash full firm (5/4files) instead of 1file package.

XXLE4

Hello, ima newbie :cowboy: in this forum and first of all i'd like to say hello to everyone there :D

Here is my doubt: i used to have mi SL untouched until i found that i wasnt receiving push notifications on time... So i decided to trust in Kies. It updated my beloved GTi9003 to its last available version (one month ago). That didn't work properly, so i decided to discover the deep world of android in its full content.

To sum up, Kies drove me to KPQ, then i followed a spaniard tutorial which seemed to work fine in my cellphone (im spaniard). This tutorial helped me to install KPU, CWM and BAM14fix. The notifications problems dissapeared.

BUT it came another problem... Now Wifi Dissconects after 2-3 minutes being connected to my router... It has almost driven me crazy. I have mostly read all the topics of this forum, but found no answer. I've also tried to install XXLE4, BAM14fix... but my wifi still disconnects sometimes :confused:

As far as I see, KPE, and Upgrading ur smartphone in general, is a bad idea. I've had wifi problems and 3g issues too since I updated them. So I would not give support to these ROMs until all these connectivity issues are solved. Anyway feel free to try at your own risk
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
^^ I respect your opinion, but there is nothing bad in upgrading. There is so much fun in exploring things. If we could just follow instructions correctly then there will be no problems.

Hi!!!

Firstly ty for the guide, it explained a lot!! I have a few questions though. I want to rrot my phone, and i have read all the odin & kernel procedures. The problem is I can't find a kernel for my gingerbread build. Here is the info of my phone:

Model: GT-I9003L

FW Version: 2.3.6

Base band: I9003LUBLH1

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-CL1179133 se.infra@SEP-41 #1

Compilation: GINGERBREAD.UBLH1

What are my options? I live in Argentina & updated using Samsung Kies so that may be the reason for the odd compilation.

Ideally i would like to install Cyanogenmod 10.

I want facebook sync for contacts, and fm radio. Both of them missing in this rom, I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
This is very weird, search on Titanium Kernel's forum and AOKP JB ROM's forum and i didn't find any member saying they had problem with facebook except Adi_pat said that facebook sometime won't let your phone goes to deep sleep. What app did you use to open facebook? the original app from the developers or a 'all in one' social app (example: TweetDeck, Seesmic). If you use 'all in one' social app, that make's sense because i try to sync my facebook contact using Seesmic and there's no sync button on settings. Almost forgot, original radio on our ROM didn't work, try using 3rd Party Software radio, like Spirit FM (or Spirit Radio(I forgot))
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jitendragarg:
I have not installed any app yet. Stock rom has option to sync contacts and join them with phone contacts. I was looking for similar option. Will try to install default apps and check if that works. I don't use facebook that much, but it seems like a better option than having to backup every contact separately.

Also, it is weird, that using any custom rom causes problem with wifi reception, Bluetooth radio and basically just hangs a lot. I was looking for any rom that works great, and is based on iCS or JB. I hardly use those special apps or Overclocking features and all. Any suggestions? I can go back to Gingerbread but smartglass won't work on it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
What do you mean by "using any custom rom causes wifi problem"? Is it GB rom or ICS/JB? Because GB custom roms are perfect, but ICS/JB has too many bugs known and unknown..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jitendragarg:
with ICS/JB. Haven't tried any custom GB rom. Wifi does not even pick up signal in same room, at times. Rebooting multiple times do solve it temporarily. I guess, I will have to do without smartglass then, considering ICS/JB roms are way too buggy for my taste. I can live without tethering and video recording but Bluetooth, radio, contact syncing seems pretty important to miss out on.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Well yes, JB/ICS ROMs have that problem because of..... probably the ROM it self or kernel (do not fear, kernel 3.x is being develop). Forgot to mention on the last post, if you want sync facebook, install the original facebook app and it will give you access to sync. Every custom ROM doesn't has an facebook button in the settings, even my phone doesn't has it (it only has Google, email and corporate), when i install the facebook, the sync button for the facebook is at the sync menu in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jitendragarg:
Thanks man! Will try that again, some day. As of now, I guess I should go back to stock. These bugs are too much for me to handle, plus smart glass ain't worth that much trouble.

That reminds me, I was unable to get my wifi radio working again, even after flashing stock. I tried, three kernels, and two stock roms. Same result every time. So, I am right now, trying to repartition and start fresh. May be you can help me with that. Please check my other thread for the issue, I am having.

Once again, thanks a lot for the help here. :highfive:
