I have not the tricks to check which is the winning combination.

For "winning combination" do you mean that the kernel (boot) I'm going to flash has to be the same of the old one?

In other words: if I have Android 4.1.1 on board, can I only flash boot.ini files (kernels) from 4.1.1 Android ROMs?

Since this of mine is just a test (then I hope to roll back to Japanese ROM), do you think it is more safe to flash boot+system?

I suppose that if I don't change the CSC, I'm not going to have any trouble for the rolling back to official JP.
[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
I think you need to be careful while flashing the boot / kernel and have to make sure that it is OK for your specific model. There are many variants of S3 which have considerable h/w differences as well. So the boot / kernel from an international version may not work for the processor / chipboard of SC-03e.

While in some cases you might be able to revert back, you should be prepared for the risk of bricking your phone.

In my opinion, it would be safer to flash CWM and CM10.1 which was linked in this thread and then playing around with your country's modems to check if it works.
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
Thank you for your advices.

I did use system.img [made TAR by 7-Zip] from Italian Vodafone ROM and I tryed to flash it by Odin, but the flashing stops after a while getting me a failed result.

Fortutately, in this situation, switching off the phone it will resume still in download mode (phone icon on the left, PC icon on the right and hazard triangle in the middle) and I have been able to flash an entire official Japanese ROM for SC-03E.

So, everything like before.

Then I tryed to flash the entire Italian ROM, but I got the same result as soon, as you can see in the attached image.

At present the ROM on board is the stock MC3.

In Settings -> About device, I can see:

Kernel:

3.0.31-1064394

se.infra@SEP-135#1

SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 18 21:10:03 KST 2013

Buid number:

JRO03C.SC03EOMAMC3

Baseband:

SC03EOMAMC3

Can I check the kernel version from a ROM file, inside the .TAR.MD5 file?

Is CMW more effective that Odin?
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
Sorry, but I'm not able to root with this trick.

Exactly when we have to press "VolumeUp/VolumeDown/Power simultaneously for a brief moment"?

When the phone is switching on or when the phone is switched on?

I have tried both of them, but nothing.

As result, neither SuperSU, nor Triangle Away want run.

The messages I get are

SuperSU

"There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"

Triangle Away

"SuperUser access is needed, but could not be acquired. Are you rooted and did you give permission?"

P. S.

This thread can be useful?

[Galaxy S III General] davidcsv:
If you want a confirmed rooting method for the SC-03E, please follow the aki0306 related links in the OP.

I haven't had the opportunity to thoroughly check the toggle rooting mechanism; most probably not until Q4 this year when I get my own SC-03E. We've had mixed reports here, which indicate that the phone either reboots instantly or nothing happens when you press that three button combo. When the phone is fully booted, and you verify that USB Debugging has been enabled in the Development settings menu option, and the three button combo still doesn't work then I suggest leaving it as is (it is still 100 percent stock) or root with aki0306's links.
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
O t s u k a r e s a m a d e s h i t a

Exactly.

The combo of the tree buttons (even with USB Debugging enabled) just makes a device "fast restart" (without the usual menu), while performing the combo on switching the device on, nothing happens.

That happened with ALL the Pre Rooted stock ROMs in the first post.

At same time, all the links from aki0306 are no more on line. So, I'm not skilled about his trick.

Since I did try some "declamed" official European ROM on SC-03E (no one still can be fully flashed), my counter on the "Dowload mode" screen was increased.

So I was hoping to use Triangle Away, but, as you all know, the phone HAS TO BE rooted.

I have tried many ways to root it. Also "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305" doesn't work!

At the end, the ONLY working way to ride has been this:

SC03E-JB-KBC-CWM-V6.0.3.0_r0-recovery by Odin

+

cm-10.1-20130329-KBC-sc03e from micro SD, by CWM

+

Triangle Away perform

+

Let the phone reboots, BUT DON'T LET the OS be loaded! PUT IT SOON IN DOWNLOAD MODE (volume down + home + power) BEFORE OR AS SOON AS THE DOCOMO LOGO APPEARS

+

Stock Official ROM by Odin

+

[IMPORTANT] Cache Wipe from official "Bootloader Mode"

+

[IMPORTANT] Factory Reset from official "Bootloader Mode"

=

Now the counter is again on "No" and Kies recognize the device.

I'm typing a little guide HERE.

Feel free to stick it on the top of this thread.
[Galaxy S III General] davidcsv:
Done, added to Hints & Tips section!

Thank you for your input and feedback on behalf of the group.
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
Thank you for your work too.

So, any idea about why More Locale 2 doesn't work on this phone?!

Can I change some setting without rooting to get that app working?

I was supposing it was a question of rooting.

So I decided to root with sc03ce_root.zip (from zwxk) flashing it by SC03E-JB-KBC-CWM-V6.0.3.0 on my stock MC3 phone featured.

Actually, checking with SuperSU, the phone results rooted, BUT:

still I can't enable more languages and still Triangle Away doesn't work!

I'm going to report about the issue on the developer's thread too.

So, the only way to reset the counter is still to have a CyanogenMod CM10.1 JP Remix (cm-10.1-20130329-KBC-sc03e.zip by mr_villagomez) featured phone.

I hope someone of you can make the same test of mine on the old stock ROMs too... because I'm tired to flash. ^^

Re-creating Android L build environment....

[MENTION=3174726]ma34S[/MENTION]

I was able to follow most of your enviroment setup instructions and have Ubunti 14.0.4 setup on VmWare Workstation 11.0 with the repo sync in /android <---2 directories are in there cm and cmjp I think. The part that I'm feeling like beginner is the manifest file. I created the local_manifest directory in /android and put your manifest file inside of local_manifest. <----Is this correct in your directions as to put the manifest directory at the top of the source tree?

You also mention after doing this to to a repo sync. Is this so that you can pull the SC-03e manifest files into your environment? Sorry if I'am asking all these questions. I'm just trying to understand the environment setup so that I can compile Android L versions for this phone and upload for everyone to try. Just so we are clear, I cannot code worth a damn :confused:

Any suggestions you can make Masahi would be great. Also, I found out myself just before you replied about where to get root again in Android L. Lastly, don't worry about replying quickly we all have work/family stuff. I patiently await your informative response. Arigoto
[Galaxy S III General] ma34S:
you should put local_manifest below.
