Thanks Tarzan, I thought I'd screwed it completely but along you came and saved the day! :D

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

OK so I'm now back to 4.2.1 and I ran triangle away first so all counters are back to zero, however when I connect to (swear word) Kies it says my current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies. If I then select tools firmware upgrade and initialization it says GT-I9300 does not support initializing.

Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

OK Panic over at some point the csc on my p[hoe was set to KOR and despite flashing back to stock this stayed the same. I've now by re-rooting and installing CSC Changer set the csc back to BTU restarted and now Kies (swear word) is happy.

Thanks for all your help and I'll be back soon :)

After trying OmniROM and other 4.4 ROMs I have returned to Sotmax.

Too many problems with Bluetooth in the lastest Kit Kat ROMs in my experience.

I was on Sotmax V19 for a long time but thought I'd try one of the later versions of Sotmax when I reinstalled.

Currently on V23 which is working fine - but I can't say I notice a great difference between V19 and V23?

Did a clean install.

Initially it seemed to run hotter than V19 but clearing cache/davlik cache and fixing permissions seems to fix any overheating issues.

Yeh good...

We all miss sotmax here and his great work...

But now we have Archidroid.. just install the 4.3 stock rom version and feel the speed... wow no words to describe.. just try guys..

Thought my phone had died . . .

Just spent a tense couple of nights trying to recover my phone.

I was on V23 and everything had been working fine for a couple of months then suddenly it refused to boot - got stuck at the intial Samsung screen.

Tried everything.

It would go into download mode but that was it - I could not get into recovery.

To compound the problem I had recently switched to Ubuntu and was trying to manage the situation from a W7 laptop.

Reading I found many people had had the same problem and many solutions were offered none of which worked for me.

In ODIN it kept giving me error message about no PIT etc.

I was almost ready to give up and check the phone in to hospital for a verdict . . .

Then I reverted to Ubuntu.

In Linux the equivalent of Odin is Heimdall and I switched to this to find a solution. Again nothing seemed to work.

Tried flashing a few stock ROMs but it kept bombing out with a no XML error.

Then I uninstalled Heimdall and reinstalled as root.

I also switched to the rear USB port on my PC.

Then I downloaded a recovery image from here http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-i9300.img.

I renamed it to recovery.img and then I flashed it using Heimdall - but NOT using the GUI (or front end as they call it).

I used the command line instead using this command:

"sudo heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --no-reboot" (I added the SUDO command to the original instructioin because it doesn't work without it)

First time it didn't work, second time BINGO!

I might mention there seems to be some problem with Heimdall where you need to boot back into download mode every time you perform another function (so try this if it is not detecting the phone or having problems communicating).

Anyway the second time I tried to flash recovery the blue bar showed it writing to the phone and the Heimdall log showed it had written the recovery image successfully.

I waited a couple of minutes just to make sure and I had my phone back.

Unplugged the phone, pulled the battery, booted into recovery, wiped the caches and restarted.

All good.

The moral is don't give up too easily.

Hope this helps someone

PS Have reverted to V19 with which I never had a problem

I'm downloading Sotmax v8 (not at home right now), will make you a stock kernel flasher, but download will take another 1/2 hour).

What is cleanup.zip exactly?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AladdinZ:
Thanks Yank, Im pretty sure I changed nothing except the OC and Volume levels. On stock kernel USB charging was fine, technical stuff is ok with me as long as it doesnt include any coding work :p Well I guess I will just let it be, once V9 is out I will flash it with your 2.8, I hope it will be fully compatible? Thanks again buddy.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
Removes my kernel config file and log-files.

Won't harm if you don't remove them, they are passive and won't do anything except take up a little space.

But I like clean things, so I find it normal to provide clean-up zip that removes all leftovers I produced.

JP.

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

Without coding knowledge, I just wanted to show you that the lines are 100% the same in both cases, so it can't be the kernel messing with you on that ;) And even the CM10 sources are 100% identical in that spot.

2.8 won't be fully compatible with 4.1.2 since we still have no sources that fit the new ROM version, and as long as we don't ... :(

There is a way of course to make video recording work, perseus and Siyah have it, but I am sticking to my rule #4 "be and stay as close to stock Samsung as possible" ;)

So for now, it will only work if using the old video libraries on the new ROM.

Does not understand why so fast v9 should come??

Rom v8 runs Phenomenally and therefore can make sotmax in rest v9 and please no stress here.:laugh:

Differently it would be if one only annoyance would have and several times the fixed would have to come, here it was not used Fixed with v8 and this what should be called people...., hence, I am fully contented and no haste in the rest lies the strength...... and this is v9 Final XXELKC:D

Modem XXELKC is perfect and no Problems!!

Kernel Yank555 v2.8 is perfect an no Problems!!

All is good and smooth and fast!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
V9 is faster than v8 and considering that leave more free ram(no v6 or anything else but native scripts), will make it faster in multitasking.

There are reasons that we are in delay.

First for the installer and second because i dont want to hear that it needs even one fix ;)

Ok we are humans and making mistakes but i want this to be perfect at least as much as i can.

Also i have heard a lot of requests and trying to mix them out to make it complete from every side of view....just as samsunng should do from the beggining ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ra1n3R:
v9 is faster than v8? Put some airbags into the installer :D Safety first! For me (and the most people here) is your stable system a great present. Better some days more and stable than every second day an update and laggy as hell.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drdoulittle:
@sotmax,

More quickness in V9 than in V8 is almost unbelievable however if it thus his had to do "SOTMAX" then put immediately a fan with in the Thread then the CPU cools... laugh::laugh::laugh:

take the apk. on your sdcard, and install the apk. via klick on the apk. :D

[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Believe it or not...yes...v9 is faster than v8.

You can feel the difference and most of all you can feel that even under hard multitasking

is better and more powerful than previous version.

I m not so much of a benchmark person as it doesnt matter what it will display, but i think that other than the feeling of the device this number is a good point to see how it goes ;).

Notice that i have also 7 apps in background ;)

AladdinZ has a point about about every other issues in Yanks thread. Every other problem may be caused by their own ROM's and not necessarily the kernel. Here would be the best place to troubleshoot the combination, imo.

LOL... it looks like my Nokia phone history. My very first mobile was a Motorola brick. A kid from school bashed a business man for it and I bashed the kid because he was an idiot and shouldn't be running around with that phone. I wish I could load V8 on that phone lol.
