which bootloader do u mean I actually unlocked it then used a custom rom Cyanogen 10 . I may have a different bigger problem I douno :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] MuFuko:
The new one we taking about in here.

If you hadn't done anything and there's no response, than yes you have maybe a sudden death. There is also a thread in general for this problem.

Flashing the

(not the modem) might fix the exynos bug, but not sure as there is no changelog from Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Could anyone make a torrent of the ODIN tar file?
[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
Just tested chainfire's exynos abuse to root, it did not work despite showing as vulnerable on the status.

I guess the vulnerability is fixed in this one. :good:

Also seems to be very smooth to me!
[Galaxy S III General] fcasoli:
the ROM runs well,

there is features.xml and we can put in some modifications, instead others.xml in previous ROM.

Hi wanna share a method to force install the latest Android from UK

"XXELLA" to any I9300 ( International Version Only)

Open Kies -> Select Tools -> Select Firmware Upgrade and Initialization -> Enter Model "GT-I9300"

Enter Serial "RF1C56VAJYF".

It will download the latest Android from kies.

DISCLAIMER: DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I prefer flashing from kies than ODIN...

KIES -> Accepted Method of Flashing by Samsung

ODIN -> By Developers.

I suggest Using kies to avoid problems etc.

Have Fun!

CSC changer doesn't work, "com.android.Preconfig not found entering manual mode" pops up, then it goes to the dialer with the code *#272*1303# possibly that code doesn't work on the S3, it normally enters the secret menu as soon as a secret code is put in.

[Galaxy S III General] mrjane:
enesboth tract

I got the update via Kies (the regular way, plugged it in and was informed that new firmware is available not with the entering of a serial number etc.) it updated the phone just fine and now it says the it has been modified and cannot use the official updates. I also checked the bootloader version and I still have an older one as far as I can tell (I checked the info from /proc/last_kmsg) it says:

androidboot.bootloader=I9300XXBLH3 , androidboot.serialno=4df1499303ff5f5b

and people that flashed via Odin report that they have:

androidboot.bootloader=I9300XXELLA , androidboot.serialno=4df1e0591c214f97

So Kies is not the safe way either :)
[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
Cause mobile Odin doesn't flash bootloaders, neither .pit files, so you still have the old bootloader and the exynos bug. Flash it again using pc Odin IF you want to update your bootloader.

If not then leave it like it is right now.

I flashed via Kies, and my /proc/last_kmsg says androidboot.bootloader=I9300XXELLA so I'm not sure why yours wouldn't flash the bootloader.
[Galaxy S III General] mclaudio:
so i have new kernel but not new bootloeader, that is correct?

anyway then to kill the mem bug?
[Galaxy S III General] Oranav:
Has anyone BinDiff'ed the bootloaders to see what has changed?

[Galaxy S III General] Entropy512:
Where is your evidence that this actually fixes sudden death? There is no evidence, and in fact the build date of this is before Samsung claimed they were working on a fix.

I'm 90%+ certain this does NOT contain a "sudden death" fix. There is ZERO evidence pointing to this that I have seen anywhere, and if you look at the Superbrick fiasco:

1) Samsung announced they were "working diligently" on it in early June 2012

2) Samsung released a firmware that endangered a previously safe device (I9100 XWLPM) in July 2012

3) As of early-mid December 2012, only I9100 units in Hong Kong received an update
[Galaxy S III General] mrjane:
Well that's strange :), is there a way to reflash the firmware with Kies?
[Galaxy S III General] RorixRebel:

[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Could be true that the 12/22 build isn't the fix. The real "fix" could just going to be Samsung locking everything down so tight that nothing can be modded at all without breaking it.

Problem solved, at least from a company perspective. Blame the user and prevent mods and developers from working to cover their own sloppy code.
[Galaxy S III General] Notronic:
Big Thanks.

Is it a bug in this firmware version?
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
I don't see them doing that, also completely unmodded devices are dying as well so it wouldn't fix the problem.
[Galaxy S III General] jenicekk:
After flash BOOTLOADER LLA wia ODIN to WANAM ROM 5.3 chainfire aplicatins still said DEVISE IS AFFECTED. What im doing wrong?
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Nothing, but the exynos abuse app will not root, if you try it fails every time. Chainfire's app changes the permissions for the exynos_mem file, which is why it can break the camera, LLA fixes it in a different manner that we don't know, that's why exynos abuse says the device is exploitable because the permissions are still R/W.
[Galaxy S III General] funem:
Updated using Samsung Kies, rooted with CF-Auto root and used triangle away. Phone is rooted and with no red ! on boot

BTW this thread is getting extreeeeemly hard to follow and is a bit all over the shop. It’s at times like these I wished there was a thread for FACTS and a thread for questions/answers.

Thanks you Chainfire for making it all easy for me to understand and easy to implement.

[Galaxy S III General] spamtrash:
@OP: could you change the title, pls...??:)

Justification: while I flashed this ROM, all fleas have left my cat. All, no single one left!!!111111

Therefore, the thread title should point not only SUDDEN DEATH FIXED!!!1111111, but: FLEAS REMOVED!!!!11111 as well, because there is even more evidence (I can prove that my cat is fleas-free now, can you proove that the sudden death cause has been fixed?)

I'm happy, by the way, that no single excited pregnant teen did not lost her baby (yet), as the firmware would be announced as contraception method soon...

Let's be serious: I used to live with the new firmware threads where it was always "light-fast, stone-stable, with minor bugs only!!!!11111" (like batt drain, not working WiFi, GPS fix lack, lags etc) but now... it seems to be more and more ridiculous...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] deepgrass:
anyone?

:3[/QUOTE]

If you look and search the first few threads, you would have find the answer already.

[Galaxy S III General] cyberdroxxx:
I am skeptical about this.

Can they fix a hardware (mobo) issue of the sudden death just by flashing firmware update?

So far this ROM is looking good. Multiwindow on a S3 is cool indeed
[Galaxy S III General] lockmunk:
I already flash this firmware..the exynos bug STILL AFFECTED..is samsung cheat us, or only my phone the problem??
[Galaxy S III General] Tovagulet:
Im sure its not a hardware issue.

Its a software issue. btw, guess what the kernel does ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Idan73:
They definitely can not fix it if it's already dead.

The only thing similar happened few years back on sgs original, only on bell Canada model. The phones were dying left and right.

Same as now, it was internal memory that failed. Only difference being that at the time, system used ti run on separate nand module so sometimes we could start the OS while plugged in charger, cause phone would just assume internal memory is being used as mass storage and would allow boot.

Lots of motherboards and or phones replaced in those months. The fix eventually came out via firmware update and most assumed at the time it was contained in secondary bootloader.

I believe they had reduced and limited transfer speeds to and from internal memory to reduce wear and tear and that was the extent of the fix at the time.

I am using CF auto root and it works just fine.

Just that it does not come with custom recovery.

This is what i did

1. Flashed XXELLA and rebooted.

2. Flashed CF auto root and rebooted.

3. Installed Triangle away and reset the flash counter.

4. Factory reset (Mobile data stopped working after triangle away, so had to do this)

My phone is now rooted and working great as ever. :highfive:
[Galaxy S III General] G1032:

[Galaxy S III General] Nees3:
Worked for me. After rooting and having custom recovery, I went into triangle away reboot, no red mark. I then rebooted without resetting the counter. Then rebooted again into triangle away, suddenly the red mark came up. I did the reset, rebooted and no more red mark... Until next time I guess :)

Please explain to us how you know that this released firmware contains the sudden death fix.

This title is misleading making a lot of people into falsely believing that they cured their phones from sudden death with this firmware, leave the forums and miss the chance to notice the ACTUAL fix that Samsung will release soon!! End result? some day they will experience the sudden death

and then they will realize that the fix already existed but missed it!

You should remove the part which says about the sudden death fix ASAP, if you have no clues about that.

But keep in mind that i did went through the whole news too.

It did not have the update at the time i read it. That's all. So simple.

Also the post below from Artesea makes me not taking for granted your sources.

If SAMMOBILE got the confirmation from this thread here in XDA then we are lead to a dead end.

Are you sure you and your friend went down the WHOLE news ?

Do you have a more official statement from the company that states that this is the fix ?

Fact : XXLLA with new bootloader.( assumption : this will fix Sudden Death )

Fact : XXLLA with new kernel.(assumption : this will fix Exynos Exploit )

Fact : Spokes(wo)man of Samsung Benelux informs Tweakers.net that the Sudden Death issue will be fixed by Samsung in a firmware update.

Assumption : XXLLA is the firmware update the Samsung spokesman was referring to,even if this assumption proves to be correct it is still an assumption that XXLA will fix the Sudden Death issue,only the future will prove this.
[Galaxy S III General] thekoRngear:
This now no longer is an assumption. It fixes the exploit for sure.
[Galaxy S III General] fmtrx:
UPDATE: Our sources confirm that Samsung has fixed the sudden death issue with the latest Galaxy S III Software Update.

Which are these sources ? This XDA thread and sam-updates as this article shows at the bottom.

Sam updates states that this is a fix because :

According to many Galaxy S III users with the new I9300XXELLA (BTU Region, version 4.1.2) Update released at 2nd Jan 2013 , the Sudden Death should be fixed (as stated earlier by Samsung Employee)

which are these users that verify this ?

You cannot just listen to this statement without checking the validity of the sources. Internet is not only

READING the whole news. But to know how to filter out rumors and assumptions that are not based on valid sources.

I will not believe that XXELLA fixes the SDS unless samsung officially confirms that. News channels say that they are under development, meaning that they did not have any official statement for any release of this fix.

We will have to wait.
[Galaxy S III General] offgrey:
Also, if you look at their sources, one of them was indeed XDA developers (probably this thread or something) and also samsung-updates.com. The title of that article from samsung-updates? "New Galaxy S3 Update brings Possible Fix for Sudden Death...." Keyword here: POSSIBLE. Not confirmed.

Meh, as you quoted me, I quoted the second line of that brouwerchris's post which obviously is now not an assumption. After upgraded to stock rom+kernel the exynos mem exploit is proven to be fixed.

UPDATE: fmtrx edited the original quoting of me by replacing with a new one.
[Galaxy S III General] mjb:
Agreed, but thekoRngear was stating that the *exploit* was fixed, as in the exynos mem exploit. not SDS.
