ok can anyone can help me that if i upgrade to this XXLA ffirmware, and when in few days, the firmware for my country is available then how can i download THAT firmware for my country?
[Galaxy S III General] Pard0ned:
Yeah. As far as I know you can flash any gs3 firmware you want with odin. The branding doesn't limit you/matter at all. Plus, not voiding your warranty is always a bonus.

Just download your country's firmware - when it's released - and flash with odin as usual. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] T0xic4u:
Thats not true. In germany if you delete the branding, you'll loose the warranty given from Provider. It's written in their contract.

Taper di Tap with my S3 @178 days
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
As EU law rules all, you dont void warranty ;)

No idea, I sent Chainfire a PM see if he can grab the bootloader and check it just to be safe. I personally aren't gonna use it until I have confirmation it's working.
[Galaxy S III General] Crest+:
Did you use kies firmware update etc i9300 enter serial etc thingy?

Yep ... they updated the bugs and made patches... but guess what ... you dont need to change csc and there will be no problem updating since it should be updating if theres a new firmware.. on that region of course...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I ran triangleaway and it seems to have worked.
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
oh ok did not know that :p

I have made tars with Modem, stock kernel and Insecure kernel :)

Just making a deodexed ROM now :) BTU is default csc :)
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
You ran it on ELLA?

Did you flash the newer bootloader (by flashing via desktop Odin) or did you use Mobile Odin (which doesn't flash bootloader)?
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
But if you flash a BTU ROM via Odin the CSC defaults to KOR which will stop you getting updates via Kies or Ota so yes there are times you need to change the CSC.

Thanks seems it should work then.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Okay guys, Triangle Away doesn't work with the newest bootloader!

My status is still modified, with a flash counter of 1 and with a tiny, almost unnoticeable red exclamation mark in the top left corner at every boot.
[Galaxy S III General] Crest+:
Exactly the reason why I used kies than odin.. Besides ... kies downloads faster than hotfile ( ROM download link) and kies installs it immediately right after downloaded... so no hassle compare to odin ... download -> extract -> open odin -> select tar -> connect phone - flash...

Kies does everything...

Odin is wonderful too btw ..
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
damn :(:(

i hope chainfire can fix it soon
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
if i were to update the bootloader can you still root the phone back?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I think he will, he's a god ^^
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Kies is terrible brick reports, it hangs all the time not seen any such issue with Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
sure u still can root it :D

but for now u can't reset the flash counter :(
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
I have seen him say before he might stop trying to beat samsung on resetting the binary counter, but I sent a PM so he will know about the new bootloader I'll let you all know what he says.
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
OK, not sure if i should upgrade the bootloader only.
[Galaxy S III General] Sukhi:
This is a well know bug since the last few leaks. Just search how to get rid of the red mark and you should be good to go.

[Galaxy S III General] corkie1:
Hi guys

I got the lla update from kies a few weeks ago. Rerooted with cfroot. Will this mean people who use cfroot will still have the sds bug? From reading other threads it appears the sds bug its related to the kernel and lla gives a new kernel dated 22 of Dec but as I rooted after getting the lla update dies that mean I have cfroot kernel or what? In the status of my s3 it has the kernel date from Dec 22 but does that matter as I am rooted with cf 6.4?
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
Just get the fw for Brazil and flash.

[Galaxy S III General] Wildchild6:
Hi.

I tried to flash this with odin and it got stuck in system.img. It was there like 5 minutes, then odin said fail. Any suggestions why? I just got the phone today, it was running 4.1.1 before.

Luckyly, i did get phone workin again. Flashed Philz recovery and moved XXELLA custom rom to external card.
[Galaxy S III General] 0mega007:
Hi i am on ICS and is perfect to me, but im considering updating to JB 4.1.2 because of the alleged Sudden Death fix of the new rom.

But im wondering this:

1) How the battery duration compares, using the same configuration on both ICS and JB 4.1.2, witch one last longer and how much longer?

2) Witch one uses more system ram?

3 Does JB 4.1.2 has any bugs or anything bad that ICS doesn't has?
[Galaxy S III General] fcasoli:
The last is better in all.

You must enable Usb Debug in setting.
[Galaxy S III General] cubitusclaudius:
For me battery is better on JB, but we have new lags for example on gallery (from 6 to 13 seconds) which makes impossible to show a picture to someone without rendez-vous...

It's always the same with Android : you buy a device, and then you get an update that fix some stuff but create new problem and big lags. I often regret disliking iPhones...
[Galaxy S III General] cybdani:
Is SDS bug fixed in XXELLC (PHE) kernel like in XXELLA?

updating to XELLC

Hi !

Sorry to ask, I'm new with galaxy S3 and samsung (I had an htc desire hd before).

How can I install this firmware (XELLC) with kies and without loosing the warranty? When I connect the phone to the computer kies says that I'm on the last firmware!

I'm in stok XELL4 (4.1.2), without root. My phone is 2 weeks old, sapphire black 16 gb.

[Galaxy S III General] SavanTorian:
@17roidavid, sure you can, but i would prefer to flash via mobile odin pro, not via PC odin, to loose the new bootloader sboot.bin and tz.img. you dont need them anyway and if you're still on LL4, it wouldnt make it more complicated :D
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Downloading ELLC as we speak. ;)

Gonna give you guys a torrent on which I'll seed 100/100, unless uTorrent or my router fails me.
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
Its in stash no bootloader ;)
[Galaxy S III General] SavanTorian:
LLC hat sboot and tz files! so the this has the new loader in.. i've already dL it. :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
I have repacked the fw and mine dont have bootloader ;)

I have packed bootlader in a tar if some one wants to flash them :)
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
As promised, here's a torrent for the spanish unbranded 4.1.2 zip. Extract and flash with odin. This is completely untouched by me.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Heh, I'll flash with mobile odin as I always do so no b/l is flashed. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
If you like you can :)

Just for the ones that dont want to flash bl now have the option, as I dont think all the users can repack stock fw for Odin.

and ofc mobile Odin :)
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I know, and you're awesome for doing it! :)

A while back, I had flashed LLA with pc odin so I got that bootloader and it was thanks to you that I could downgrade to ICS, you tipped me of the dd method. Now, however, I'll only use mobile odin when I can, and PC odin if my phone craps out, but then I'll know I have your stash to access with 100/100 downloading and mostly if not always up and running ^^

[Galaxy S III General] Sukhi:
TA hasn't been compatible since ELK1. There is nothing new in this Bootlooder. Like few others, i wasn't able to reset the flash counter to 0. The flash counter would always remain 1 no matter how many times TA was done. There is a specific procedure to bring it back to 0.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] Chainfire:
I just flashed the full firmware, followed by CF-Auto-Root, followed by Triangle Away, and the exclamation mark is gone, and the counters are reset. If it's not working for you, keep in mind that a custom recovery may cause this behavior. As such, using Triangle Away may actually cause the counter to become 1, so after resetting it, you have to check the number in actual download mode, not in Triangle Away.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Perka has a tar for it in his stash. http://perka.zapto.org/

[Galaxy S III General] Perka:

[Galaxy S III General] Chainfire:
Unfortunately, unless I can reproduce that behavior on any of my devices, there's nothing I can do about it - assuming you really are the victim of a bug here, and not doing it wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
This is why you reset your counter before you flash to avoid problems. You don't flash a new firmware before resting the counter.. Then you'll run into problems..
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
awesome! i also found they have the full firmware package too so will download from there cos hotfile is really slow for me.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I ran the app again, and reset the counter once more and now it seems to have worked successfully! Wonder what screwed it up when I last tried :p

Do you know how I can change my CSC to BTU? I seem to have the KOR one and the CSC app doesn't work.

[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
oh good cos i recently flashed the XELLA modem a few hours ago.

are there any side effects when flashing the bootloader only?
[Galaxy S III General] thesebastian:
Does this method, wipe your data or just update the firmware?

Is it safe? Will change my serial for "RF1C56VAJYF"?
[Galaxy S III General] TeeJayEss:
I updated via Kies, re-rooted using CF-Auto-Root, saw the exclamation mark briefly but not after the reboot, but used Triangle Away anyway, and all is perfect - counter has been reset, and no exclamation mark
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Derp. Where did I say I had an unofficial status before flashing? That's right, I didn't. My status was official before flashing and my counter was 0, but after flashing I got the unofficial status because I also flashed cf-auto-root. I can't live without at least root. :p

Now all is well, though, as I ran T/A again and my status is once more official, as it should be.

I know we can ^^

It's just bothering to see a red exclamation mark at every reboot when there doesn't need to be one. ;)

[Galaxy S III General] Sukhi:
Here are the steps that i followed that worked after few attempts.

Once the TA resets the Binary Counter, you need to really act fast. Dont let the phone restart in the normal mode. You need to directly put it into the download mode rightaway and flash via Odin

Guys, you cannot have any custom recovery, including any recovery.img in internal or external sd card. Phone will seach for it in storage.

Also, after resetting with TA you also have to uninstall and then perform a factory reset.

When it boot, your device status should be normal.
[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
Lol, I would have used CF-root a long time ago but I hate using flashaway lol, it... just freaks me out as it has to mess with the bootloader, I would buy a new board, Its just taking the phone a part that would scare me the most haha

Anyway I'm on XXELLA and I see no massive difference from the previous firmware apart from SuperSu is absent until I root it again (Will do in a sec haha)

Try rooting with it though, it doesn't matter what the app says what matters is will it root.

Samsung could have fixed it a different way to Chainfire so it's possible for the bug to be fixed and the app to say it's exploitable.
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
tested with chainfires app

http://twitpic.com/brw2oi
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Is the fix itself in the new kernel or in the new bootloader?
[Galaxy S III General] Tenacious:
Perka this didn't work for me still says kor in costumer.xml
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
hmm, try using rootexplorer and manually move contents.db, customer.xml, feature.xml, others.xml and sales_code.dat from /system/csc/BTU/system/csc

to

/system/csc

thats how u set default csc.

might need a factory reset dunno as I use my ROM and it has BTU as default.

Sorry I cant fix this.
[Galaxy S III General] qwerty12:
I wouldn't take this as conclusive proof, but the firmware revision of the eMMC chip has remained at 0xf1 after flashing the XXELLA kernel. I'm kinda loathe to flashing this firmware, as it updates both the bootloader and the ARM Trust Zone area...
