Hi all,

Im a new SGS3 owner and from Portugal also.

I have just opened the box of the new device, and the rooting is made. I am downloading Omega v34 for my frist custom rom in the SGS3.

I bought the SGS3 in Pixmania-Pro and its a I9300XXDLID. The phone is unvbranded as it was bought in France (Pixmania). Do you suggest the flash of TMN modem as i am a TMN user?

Abraço

Hugo
[Galaxy S III General] bcuraman:
yeah,you can flash the portuguese modem like it's in the thread :)
[Galaxy S III General] hdsousa:
Thks.

By the way, i had it for 10 minutes stock... made root and installed Omega ROM v34 ... until now ... perfect. Just need to flash again, cause i choose to do it on simnple instalation removing bloatware ... as i assumed it was just for the samsung apps ... but seems that it was for much more. For instance i dont have any clock widget, etc...

So as they stated in the Omega topic, i can do a re-flash with custom options with a no-wipe option and that will add the missing apps that i choose without messing with configuration and apps already installed.
[Galaxy S III General] bcuraman:
I don't think that you would need to make a re-flash again,because I think that there is the apps that you need on the app they developed,the Omega files JB

You can grab it from the market,as a free app :D

By the way,as you have root,I'm gonna suggest you to install aptoide,grab the repos,make a refresh and look for a app called market unlocker.it's a excellent app that gives us the option to have the market from other country's and get the newest apps on the play store.I'm having the store from Verizon USA ;)

Enjoy
[Galaxy S III General] hdsousa:
I though on that, and i downloaded the kitchen even if not yet "approved" for te V34, but i still didnt find any clock widgets there ...

I know i cn get all this from Play store, in different flavours ... but now im curious on what was included in the ROM that i am missing :) Also the 4.2 camera was not installed, etc...

And thank ou for that suggestion. Will check that for sure.

Shi* man,that thread is just scary..

While some of us are flashaholic,and others prefer to stay on stock,the problem is somehow related to the power of charge,regardless the rom or rooted or not...
[Galaxy S III General] hteles:
Hello,

And with the death of the nand.

Let's hope that our models were late one.

I bought mine unlocked at Fnac Chiado on the June 22.
[Galaxy S III General] bcuraman:
And I got mine from pt bluestore with a 2 year contract to tmn.24h after I got it,the phone was rooted and flashed with a omega rom.I've made lot's of flashes and so far,so good.I've managed to have some issues in the past,but only because the charger that come with the phone,got bitten from my dog,and in some point,it was charging on wall,but it was saying on the bat stats that was on usb,so then I replaced with a normal but official charger of Samsung,and that has already died,because it simply got some strings deattached.now I've got one from the chineses stores,and it has 800 max mAh charging value.

Btw I think mine was bought late July,can't remember precisely..
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
This happens with some samsung devices. To me happened with s2 but don t be scared. Samsung will just repair it for you. So long you use a sammy rom theres no problem with warranty. Even if you re rooted. Thats some problem with the exynos board. It just happens. But as advice don t go direct to samsung repair centre. Its better to go through phone operator because they stay behind you. I had my s2 repaired 3 times after the 7 work day as i bought him. And only solved when i ve gone to Vodafone and they assumed the repair. So don t be scared with the thread. It just happens and theres nothing that can be done to avoid it. By the way loved the expression banana land island! Lol
[Galaxy S III General] bcuraman:
I ain't scary.if I were,I would never rooted and flashed my phone :D but it's always good to know that we can always get our phone back to the operator store and still manage to have warranty ;)

Hey guys,does anyone know about if there's any way we can get to know how many zip installs we've made through recovery and how to deal with them,like if we need to uninstall them?

Thank's in advance :)
[Galaxy S III General] kaynpayn:
Yup me. 1 week after purchase (on fnac) i woke up to a phone stuck on the samsung logo bootscreen, no matter what i did. Had not modified anything at all so i acted like the average guy and didn't even try to fix it, took it to the store and they replaced it for another unit.

This wasn't a peacefull return though, those guys at fnac are real dicks and even if the phone only had 1 week they didn't want to replace it. When they finally agreed to do it, they even said they were doing me a favor in replacing (total bs, they're obligated by law to do it) and tried to have me staying with the battery and the back cover of the malfunctioning phone (because they were seeing scartches on it, which i swear only they could see). I ended up staying with the back cover (was fine to me and was getting a case anyway) but i didn't agree with staying with the "old" battery so after a less pleasant exchange of words they agreed to replace it too. I can't tell why the phone malfunctioned and they aren't samsung so can't they, i'm not keeping something that may be the cause of the problem (even if it most likely isn't) just because some random sales guy told me so.

Haven't had a problem since. But i'm sure they'll just try to reflash it or something and resell it again. If the phone was going to service to samsung they wouldn't be so anal about a 1 week old battery and any scratches the cover could have. I totally recommend NOT buying anything from FNAC, had terrible experiences with returns there.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
You re not the only one with bad experiences with that guys. I made a assurance for a tab. Payed 80 euros for a year then when i went there with self crashed tab lol. They took two months to pay it back!
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
And by experince i prefer allways pperator phones. You can allways unlock it by code without voyding warranty and you get it cheaper and last they stay behind you in case of repair. When you get unlocked ones its allways a stupid thing with manufacturers. They don t look at you single person that payed much then usual for a phone. They simply don t care about you. I ve a testament with samsung for my galaxy s2. And since august they had simple don t respond to me. And the phone was replaced by vodafone. Simple as that.
[Galaxy S III General] melorib:
Tried to flash the vodafone modem but it didnt work :confused:

Anyway, the bin file is exactely the same size as XXELKC i USE NOW :rolleyes:

vodafone stincks, I have to go outside to get signal in my house, Cascais :(
[Galaxy S III General] hteles:
So i guess I was lucky,

Only after two days I took a picture with the shiny new S3 and realize that my camera wasn't focusing and I had already rooted. At first I thought that was a problem with omega rom , so i restored tph rom with Odin and triangle away just to be sure but it was really fu#$%d.

Next day tooked to the guys there and they give me another as the law Mandates by the way.

Live from bananas island :D
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
No problems so far flashing vodafone modem on every rom I had since today.

Maybee something went wrong with odin.

Try again.
[Galaxy S III General] melorib:
ODIN :confused:

It is a .zip file, shouldnt it be flashed with CWM :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Please read allways carefully the instructions that are before the download links or maybe some day you will brick your phone!!! Lol!

That´s not the case in this matter but it was written with caps that the files are not intended for CWM. So be allways carefull.

The file is zipped only for server purposes, some anti virus software don´t deal good with some kind of files like .BIN so usually the file is zipped.

Extract and flash the .Bin file with odin.

Cumprimentos
[Galaxy S III General] melorib:
I did look inside the .zip, but usually odin files are MD5 :confused:

Any way, it is exactely the same size as the modem.bin in the latest ROM

Obrigado :good:
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
The size doesn t matter. The code inside is that makes the difference. They re different for sure. And odin files are not md5 files. Md5 are intended for checksums. Odin handles .tar .bin .csc and so stuff. A complete rom to flash as pda has the md5 extension only as i sayd for checksum. For security.

Cumprimentos. Abraco.
[Galaxy S III General] danieldmm:
The size thing its that the file its image of partition so every file like modem will wave all the same size, the files in its not the same.

[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Give feedback then, its important for other users to know, because modem files have different behavior on different phones and networks even in the same country ;)
[Galaxy S III General] melorib:
Unfortunately no significant difference :(

I have lost a few phone interviews for my next job because people call and it says the phone is off :confused:

Tried to buy a mobile booster, but it is not available, Vodafone only has for 3g :rolleyes:

Lucky the guy told me to try Network Mode GSM only, and it seems to improve the signal significantely, all tests worked, keep my fingers crossed :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Maybee you re in a bad signal zone... try other modems. Sometimes it works. I recomend one app from the market called getril. Try other modem and update ril inside the app and it could be better. Radio is sometimes a lucky shot. Abraço.
[Galaxy S III General] Fidalgos:
thank you in advance for helping me solve a problem that has afflicted me since yesterday ... and for still not being able to finish him off ... hence questioning this community :)

The problem is with the system application Applications Manager ... shuts down after a few seconds (I can see and switch to the 3 tabs within those seconds when the screen is active) ... and returning to open up can do a scroll but not for long because alway close . I have Titanium Backup Pro and I did a full backup (apps + system apps user) long before this problem have started yesterday. Turns out already searched the Restore section and not even see any app Applications Manager and even equal to the application icon in Settings. Meeting others with first name manager ... and even I have done the restore of about 3 that seemed able to reset this fault in the Applications Manager and restarted the SGS3 but spoiled ... or more ... not got nothing :(

I'm confused about what happened and how it happened and then you ask for help :)

What is the real name of this app? Or how can I reset the app back to your normal?

Do not know if it matters to some situation or problem for this ... but between apps and system apps have 297 user apps: - \

I have an ICS 4:04 rooted since its appearance and never had any problems except this ;)

Every phone as I said is diferent even with two phones like I had before two galaxy s2. The behavior of each phone is different. Sometimes the most indicated is the released for the country but other modems can be better. Its allways a luky shot.

Hi,

What ROM are you using?

I'm on temasek kangs and using default XXDLIB after some problems with charging. Coincidence or not after I've exchanged XXDLID with the later never had any charging problems, so I stayed with default CM10.1 combo ( modem/ril)

PS: I have a feeling that my battery lasted longer with XXDLID.

[Galaxy S III General] crazzy_boy:
So today it was released the update 4.1.2 and I wanted to update the phone, but I have 2 problems. First i can't update it via OTA, the update is not available. Second Kies doesn't connect to the phone. The phone is detected by windows. Also I've installed the toolkit, maybe that's the problem? How can I solve this? I got this rom I9300XXDLJ4_I9300TPHDLJ1_TPH.zip

Thanks

EDIT:

So I managed to make it work, now the phone connects with Kies, but it says the phone doesn't support updates via Kies :S
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Forget kies. Flash it through odin. See some topics here in xda where you can get full detailed information how to use odin. Kies only gives you update information about the current version you are using.

I am with omega v 40 and tmn
[Galaxy S III General] crazzy_boy:
But it wasn't suppose to update via OTA to the 4.1.2 with the stock unbranded 4.1.1?
[Galaxy S III General] crazzy_boy:
I didn't reset the custom binary count, is it because of that?
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Tmn modem is on the main thread. You can use it with any rom.
[Galaxy S III General] crazzy_boy:
And what does it do? I'm still a bit noob on this things :\
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
What do you mean with custom binary? In odin or in kies?
[Galaxy S III General] crazzy_boy:
Well I flashed a custom rom but I didn't like it so I flashed back to stock rom 4.1.1. Unfortunately I lost the backup so I flashed this file: I9300XXDLJ4_I9300TPHDLJ1_TPH.zip

But I didn't use the triangle away to reset the counter when I did this. Today it was released the 4.1.2 stock via OTA and I wanted to update my phone but I can't, it doesn't find any update. Also in Kies it says the phone doesn't support updates.

If I use triangle away to reset the counter, will that work to update to 4.1.2 via OTA? And is it safe?
[Galaxy S III General] danieldmm:
Your problem its related to CSC, make a wipe data in Recovery and then you can update, but like already wrighten here, forget KIES, Odin or Mobile ODIN its muche better and go to XXEMA2, its a lot better then stock TPH 4.1.2 ROM...
[Galaxy S III General] crazzy_boy:
Well the phone is not actually mine, is my brothers and I think he wants the stock, so I want to give him the stock and all my problems will be solved. The rom is stock and I can't wipe data, so do I need to flash a CSC file with ODIN?
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Use a stock rom from samfirmware. Better way to flash is with mobile odin. You can achieve root by flashing. For mobile odin google it or search in chainfire mobile odin thread. Its free for xda. But limited. The pro version is in the market. Its worthy and you can flash a 4.1.2 spanish rom or even european. The csc is the same. Do a full wipe before flash .
[Galaxy S III General] crazzy_boy:
The stock rom is from that website Portugal (TPH) PDA I9300XXDLJ4 and CSC I9300TPHDLJ1.

I wanted the rom to update via OTA instead of flashing it with ODIN so my brother could stop bugging my head and be happy with the official updates
[Galaxy S III General] danieldmm:
I already told you, OTA and KIES dont update since your CSC its wrong, CSC dont match Firmware. Just make a wipe data and CSC will match, than you can update with OTA or KIES, or just flash latest one with ODIN, its even better then KIES.

Just the CSC line to enable AMR-WB its enought.

Can you provide me your files?

Maybe i feel s.th different since my phone is originally TMN.

Thks;)
[Galaxy S III General] danieldmm:
The files is in the zip provided by OP in second post, for me i think its just need to change line in CSC customer.xml and maybe the modem...

Swype <AutoWbAmr>on</AutoWbAmr> with <NbWbAmr>1</NbWbAmr>, but my conseil its, make nandroid then try to flash full zip and see if change in service menu.

If change then restore nandroid and only make the change in costumer.xml and try again.

Never the less i will not go further with this, since i flashed the full zip and did not work.
