i think thats mean 2 things :

1- they patched bootloader to not working anymore with triangle away :(

2- the dead bug cuzed by the bootloader and they fixed it ( hope so :rolleyes: )

edit : maybe the new bootloader have new update to the NAND firmware ?? http://tweakers.net/nieuws/86386/samsung-komt-met-update-voor-probleem-defecte-galaxy-s-iiis.html

A question. How to change CSC now? I think ODIN gave me a KOR CSC again..
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
1. It may still work it depends if they changed anything to do with the binary counter (location, values, format) if there's no changes it should work, but I would see if Chainfire has noticed any changes to it, he knows what to look for after all.

2. That's just a theory right now, we need to wait for reports.
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:

[Galaxy S III General] fmtrx:
One possible explanation for all this confusion where we have samsung representatives saying that XELLA fixes the SDS where as facts show that it does not, can be based on the fact that the exynos exploit could cause sudden death if used appropriately by the adversary. At least that is that i read in a news source. So these people may be referring for the SDS fix caused by exynos exploit which is a totally different case that the SDS analyzed here in this thread. These people may not know about the second case that have caused so many worries to people here.
[Galaxy S III General] colang:
Well your free to believe whatever you like. I have updated just in case. .. I have now seen enough to be happy with my decision to do so ... If you need more proof perhaps email samsung direct sammobile is reputable and now I have seen other articles in happy to give it a go and thank the OP as at least our eyes are open
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
If you check the sources "via phandroid" the click that link and that leads back to sammobiles it's funny that only sammobiles have heard about it and everyone relies on this tiny site for news.

If sammobiles had the "sources" they say they do I'm sure the bigger sites would know something without sammobiles.

Does it matter what custom ROM I'm running if I were to flash this via Odin? I'm a little bit confused as to how to flash this, as I've never touched the bootloader or kernel with any of my Android devices :)

I'm rooted and running Liquid-RC9 (international i9300), so can I just flash this directly via Odin?

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!! :)

So what exactly does the exynos mem bug checker app do?

It says my device is affected...

I am not gonna Flash the new bootloader. I guess stock lla kernel fixes the problem?
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
the stock XXELLA will flash the new bootloader anyway as it's included in the package.
[Galaxy S III General] T0xic4u:
Flash it with Mobile Odin and it will be flashed without bootloader.

[Galaxy S III General] RevoWution:
Can this be flashed via Odin safely regardless of which custom ROM we're currently using?

Will I lose root if flashed?

And does this mean I will have to re-flash Liquid-RC9 afterwards? :)
[Galaxy S III General] masterex567:
No, i extracted system.img and the boot.img and made a new CWM flashable zip file from those two to avoid the new bootloader.

But currently i'm using siyah, if i use the stock boot.img does that mean exynos mem bug is fixed?

Can't seem to find that samsung has confirmed this anywhere.
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
yes, but then you loose siyah.

Siyah 1.8.6 has an inbuild fix for this Bug. So why switch back to stock Kernel?

Taper di Tap von meinem Smarty
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Exynos Mem Bug checker app pretty much checks the permissions on the Exynos_mem file in the kernel, Samsung have fixed it without changing the permissions so all these apps will say your device is affected.
[Galaxy S III General] chudy_85:
there is another way that you have back their csc

Click on the recowery and see what your csc! If you have a Btu it means that you have set btu but you can also check the purse as it looks

You can upload rom with csc btu and set the csc selector to btu

XXELLA then upload and check on what your recowery and see what csc you have
[Galaxy S III General] spakkkk:
where can i check the bootloader using?

Can i flash this to ELKC version? Or i just have to update my phone to ELLA before applying this patch?
[Galaxy S III General] donteo:
Easiest

Download App Android System Info from Market. Go to System open Buildinfos and there you will find your bootloader :D
[Galaxy S III General] qwerty12:
As I just figured this out, in a terminal emulator or ADB:

getprop ro.bootloader

Then you don't have to wade through text or be root (as checking /proc/cmdline requires you to be).
[Galaxy S III General] iArmghan:
yes you can update ur bootloader even if u are on ELKC version
[Galaxy S III General] francescozanghetta:
hi guys, just a noob question.

if we flash an old bootloader via CWM we could avoid lla bootloader check and so downgrade?

My nood Idea comes from checking an old ota update (which I supposed it use stock recovery to be installed) downloaded from sammobile which has an sboot.bin file in plus the due info in the script for its installing.

just an idea from noob

Could ANYONE post the link to the SAMSUNG's statement expressing that ELLA actually has ANYTHING commomn wtih sudden death phenomenon?

As for now, I seen the rumors only, crosslinking multiforums one to each other. It looks like one guy said: o my God!!!111 It must be that one which is fixing SD because I flashed it and my phone is still ALIVE111!!!!

And, as for now, there is plenty of lemmings who are following that statement without any evidence.

So, again, and I hope finally, does anyone have the proof of such statement by confirmation from Samsung, or are you all just praying?

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Nope, we can't, because no official statement has been made.

Scammobile claims their sources confirmed it fixed the bug though, but I wouldn't trust anything from them if I were you.
[Galaxy S III General] francescozanghetta:
I knew it is blacklisted. I was thinking how to work around the downgrading lock of the new bootloader via CWM. My hipothesis is if the new bootloader could be overwrite through a oldbootloader.zip flashed via custom recovery. The ota is a proof of we can flash a bootlaoder via revovery.
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
Yea sure, but why you want to downgrade?

Let's say you live in England, and you flashed a BTU (English unlocked) firmware to your phone. Let's say you also rely on OTA's. If you by any chance are on another CSC than BTU, you will not receive an OTA for the BTU region.

But when im rooted and on custom recovery and custom Rom i dont get ota Updates for Sure.....so i can just leave it :)

if i want to flash another rom someday,hipoteticly, the procedure will be always the same when you do it with odin?

in other words, this XXELLA is as other stock rom, when i want, i could change it?

- You have already upgraded to newest bootloader XXELLA ? You wanna flash back to 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 stock rom.

>> You can downgrade to any previous version of rom if it doesn't include an old bootloader in it. Better way is flash stock rom via Mobile Odin and don't care it include a bootloader or not because Mobile Odin don't flash bootloader.

- You wanna flash back to old bootloader

>> Flash via PC Odin, now can't do that. But just found the method to flash back to old bootloader. See link at my signature.

Ok so for those of us whom are addicted flashers hehe. . way around having to use a CWM type recovery is to leave recovery stock and install Mobile Odin Pro which can flash zip and CWM files.

Therefore keeping recovery stock use triangle away and hey presto ..,... No red exclamation mark :D:D:D

i have a theory I9300XXELLA ment to fix sudden death but I9300XXELLA is only uk firmware so why not released for everyone all over the world does not make sense plus EU countries are protected by statutory rights even if we are rooted ot custom firmware we are stll protected reason i say this is because lot of people and dev's think samsung have done this new update to void people warranty if they have sudden death because its hardware problem not firmware i don't know what is the truth but i will say one think samsung are getting like apple which is disappointment

I was wondering the same thing. I have a HK/TW i9300, and my firmware is I9300ZSDLK2, which is totally different to the "XXELL" series this thread refers to and to what other international S III's have.

Exclamation mark was put to recognize rooted / customized phones even after using Triangle Away.

I myself had an exclamation mark and removed it by flashing old boot loader via Odin and using TA. This was happening when ever somebody updated via OTA and rooted afterwards but, developers found the solution of flashing old boot loaders.So the boot loaders were coming via OTA. The zip files from Sammobile did not have the boot loader currently found in zip of XXELLA 4.1.2. So even if you flashed via Odin you get the red exclamation mark. My theory is this is why sammys put the boot loaders in zip (from sammobile). and to lure people in to flashing them they spread the news of SDS and Exynos bug fixed. Because until now there is no official statement from Samsung! If it is (bug) fixed then well and good:). Can any body point to the official statement by Samsung officials or PR?
[Galaxy S III General] RevoWution:
Cheers for the reply :)

I wouldn't brick my S III if I were to flash LLA right? Seeing as the UK/EU i9300 should be identical to the Asia i9300 in terms of hardware?

Also, if I flashed this via Odin, would I lose root? And would this mean I will then be left with stock Samsung ROM and will have to flash Liquid-RC9 (custom ROM I'm running) again? :)
[Galaxy S III General] ricnar456:
But the xxella has the exynos bug fix and only for this reason will be released in all the world in few days.

Maybe samsung is trying side effects of the fixes before spreading.
