Enable Wi-Fi [problem fix] for European i9305 ROMs on SC-03E

Yes, it is exactly like that... I did take the folders

/system/ect/wifi

and

/system/ect/dhcpcd

from the Stock MC3 for SC-03E and I did overwrite them on the phone featured with the European ROM.

Now Wi-Fi works again.

[size=+2]

[UPDATE]​

It seems it is enough to change JUST the files inside the "wifi" folder.

Don't overwrite.

First, delete all the files inside /system/ect/wifi, then copy/paste inside /system/ect/wifi the files from the Original SC-03E ROM.

[/size]​

​

​

Is there anybody who can make and Update.zip to flash via CWM or Sideload?

[size=+2]

[UPDATE]​

Maybe this tecnique can't work for all the i9305's ROMs.

It is possible that the success of this tecnique depends by the ROM version.[/size]

[size=+2]On these ROMs (than you can find HERE), the tecnique WORKED (flashing just system and cache):

I9305XXBLL5_I9305DBTBLL4_I9305XXBLL5 (Germany no-brand)

I9305XXBMD4_I9305TNLBMD2_I9305XXBMD4 (Netherlands T-Mobile)

I9305XXBMB4_I9305XEFBMB2_I9305XXBMA2 (France no-brand)

I9305XXBMC1_I9305OMNBMC1_I9305XXBMC1 (Italy Vodafone)

I9305XXBMD1_I9305VODBMC1_I9305XXBMD1 (UK Vodafone)

PRE_ROOTED_I9305XXBMD1 (CSC_EVR) by djembey (Includes Japanese Language)

I9305XXBME1_PHNBME2_Netherlands_Android_4.1.2.

​

[N. B.]​

To root the above Stock ROMs, use Framaroot + SuperSU + Superuser + Root Browser.

On this way you can keep "Official" on your Phone.

[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
you tell me how to do it and i can get it done now... not that busy today at work.
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
I did use this tool: Samsung GS3 Toolkit

I did choose a device with the same/near build (JRO03C) then I worked from there.

(I did choose 14 anyway)

Download an international (German of France) ROM from somewhere, then extract from there just the system.img.

Use the Samsung GS3 Toolkit to create an "Odin Flashable" file and flash it.

To root the international ROM, try to flash by CWM the "sc03ce_root.zip" and/or go in CWM menu and choose "root hacking".

Then go back in Samsung GS3 Toolkit and choose the option to flash files from there.

When it ask if restore permissions for the files, select No.

In any case, if you get a boot loop, go in CWM and clean some stuff.

[size=+1]P.S.

Be carefull, probably the phone serial number will be deleted

Probably I did some mystake somewhere.

Anyway, before doing anything, make a backup of EFS folder! [/size]
[Galaxy S III General] Robobob1221:
You shouldn't flash modems from other firmwares as you risk losing imei and s/n you should remove them from the tar if you haven't already
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
I didn't flash the Modem, in fact... I did tests just on System, Cache, Bootloader.

Anyway the IMEI is ok.

Now I'm trying to flash the MB1 Stock. With the MC3, no result.
[Galaxy S III General] promila:
The speed of 3g sim of softbank in S3alpha sucks.I tried apps like 3g booster ,creating system folder with script mentioned in other forum but none helped.

During day time the speed is like 1000-2000kbs but at night it's 30-70 kbs...

Someone please if have any suggestions... please tell meeeee
[Galaxy S III General] Robobob1221:
Sorry yeah misread your post, my bad.

So what is it you're trying to make a flashable ROM through recovery of the Japanese ROM or something else?
[Galaxy S III General] pippit2hn:
yeah, I heard that in some Chinese forums also, Sc-03e can flash S3 LTE i9305 by replacing kernel (boot.img) and wifi config folder.

Also working with Rom cook based on Samsung Rom. (like Ripper rom, rXTREME rom...) (not include modem file)

After flashing, the rom lost build-in root, but we can root again by flashing sc-03e root file.

Everything works fine and no FC.

Very good news for sc-03e.

It will be perfect if someone could make a custom kernel for it. :D
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
Well I did fix the Serial number problem (it was 00000000000), editing the file /efs/factory/FactoryApp/serial_no.

Now fine.

{Little note about IMEI restore.

If you are using this procedure QPST v2.7.378.zip and it can't recognize your phone (it display "No Phone" near the COM port), download/install ServiceMode Shortcut from Google Play on your Phone, go in ServiceMode -> UMTS -> Common -> Diag Config and check if DM/DUN over HSIC has "(*)" on the side.

If it has not, tap on it and the phone will reboot.

Then your phone will be recognized.}

What I'm trying to do?

I wish to find a way to flash, IMG (by Odin) or ZIP (by official Recovery), without rooting and/or without CWM, keeping

Custom binary Download: No

Current binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Official.

Case n.1 - With the Official Stock Japanese ROM on board

I wish to "officially flash" a modified framework-res.apk melted in a new system.img file (this case by Odin) or by an Update.zip (this case by Stock Recovery).

Case n.2 - With the European system.img on board (overflashed on the stock Japanese)

I wish to "officially flash" the folsers /system/ect/wifi and /system/ect/dhcpcd melted in a new "European system.img" (this case by Odin) or by and Update.zip (this case by Stock Recovery).

In other words, I need to overwrite something, without rooting and without performing averytime a factory reset (due to a boot loops).

I did find these two interesting and easy tools to decompile and extract the files from .IMG files.

sgs2toext4.zip

Linux_Reader.exe

Here there is a good guide for noobs (like me).

Is there some easy tool to recompile the .IMG back from (system.ext4.img to system.img)?

I mean from Linux Ext Volume.dsk to system.img.
[Galaxy S III General] skyler:
Hi, can I also ask for a little help rooting the sc-03e? After reading the 26 pages of this thread I can only say: I've never had so much trouble with an android and never had to post here before, but seems this day has come too...

What I've generally tried so far (with Odin 3.04):

- Factory reset, then flashing MB1 stock, then MB1 rooted from the first page, factory reset...

- Factory reset, then flashing MC3 stock, then MC3 rooted from the first page, factory reset...

- Sim card is inside, tried with and without memory card inside

- Flash runs normally, receive PASS from Odin and boot normally...

But after more than 2 days of trying different options on 2 PCs (e.g. different samsung usb drivers, etc.) all I get is:

- no root whatsoever normally

- device reboots after the start of some animation when I press volUP+volDown+power

- no root after that either (tried SuperSU and Root Checker)

I can't try the aki0306 roms, because dropbox says Error (509) - This account's public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!

Could someone please point me in the right direction, am I missing something? Or provide a link for the aki0306 roms? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
Until now the only way to get the SC-03E rooted is to use aki's ROM.

Try with a PM.

While youl wait for a new link from him, try to use this boot... but I'm not sure if it can really root.

Let us to know
[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
This method worked for me (without aki's ROM)

The route I followed was,

i) Do complete factory reset, cache wipe (I was on LK5 ROM)

ii) Flash CWM (from kbc developers) using ODIN

iii) Perform full factory reset, cache wipe

iv) Flash sc-03ce_root.zip from CWM and restart phone

v) Install SU apk and check for root

Additional steps that I did was,

vi) Perform full factory reset, cache wipe

vii) Install CM 10.1 from CWM

viii) Install SU apk, Triangle away apk and give root permission to Triangle away

ix) Used Triangle away to reset custom counter

I do not know if all the factory reset is really required, but I did it anyway. Also, I do not know about the extent of the root using above method since I have used root only for Triangle away and Terminal Emulator (for IMEI/EFS backup)
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
That's good.

I can't understand why you did use Triangle Away while you still have CWM.

When you reboot the phone and you still have CWM as recovery, the counter goes again on 1.

At the end which ROM did you keep?
[Galaxy S III General] skyler:
Thanks guys for the info! :)

Does this one increase my counter though? I'm hesitant to void my warranty yet (at least until my patience runs out), cause it's a new phone and I need the counter at 0 for now in case some problem pops up (otherwise I would've put CM already).

edit: ok, after looking inside the zip it seems it writes to /system, so wouldn't that trigger a counter increase? (What exactly triggers this counter?) If not - I'm willing to give it a go (with whatever rom you say it fits, although it seems the rom won't matter much!?)...

Also that's a zip so do I need CWM for it or I can just flash it with the built-in recovery? I'm assuming it's for the MC3 rom?
[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
Yes, you are right. But I did not know this at the time when I was using Triangle Away.

That is why the next time when I flashed CM 10.1 5/13 release, I just did not bother with it.

do u need MA6 and MB1 Root Rom?

if u need, i will upload on android file host
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
Now I don't remember if the "sc-03ce_root.zip" increase the counter or just turns the status in "System Status: CUSTOM".

The Aki's ROM doesn't increase the counter, but turns the status in "System Status: CUSTOM".

Anyway, don't worry, you can get back to "all official" with this guide.

So, if you just flashed the Aki's ROM (Custom binary Download: NO), you just need to flash a Stok Official ROM by Odin.

If your counter is on "> 0", follow the guide.

Then, yes. You can flash the "sc-03ce_root.zip" only by CWM... and CWM increases the counter.

However, that is not a problem... as I told you before.

Anyway, now I'm using a part of a French ROM for i9305 [Data connection works fine in Japan and I enabled the Wi-Fi fixing the problem, but I still didn't try to use Osaifu-Keitai. NFC is not detected because it is different from the i9305].

I did root the French ROM with a tool and I still have

Custom binary Download: No

Current binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Official

If you want try, then, to come back to official status, you just need to re-flash Stock ROM for SC-03E and perform a factory reset and a cache wipe.
[Galaxy S III General] magnatajp:
What rom I can install to use in Brazil?
[Galaxy S III General] skyler:
Thanks, that's some very useful info, seems I worried too much :)

I did indeed flash Aki's ROM and root works fine. I can also confirm the sim unlock via the LK5 modem.bin works perfectly too, and without root (thanks to your guide) :)

I kinda lost my appetite for ROM adventures after so many tries this week, but can and will experiment more later when I tire of the stock one.

Anyway - thank you very much for your help and for the guide! Thanks to Aki-san too for the ROM and for the fast response :)

Hello guys.

Any idea to enable the "NFC" on the SC-03E featured with a ROM from i9305?

At present the NFC is not detected by the OS (it happened the same with the Wi-Fi, but now I fixed it)

Is it possibile to edit/exchance some system file to enable on the "Frankenstein SC-03E" the "Japanese NFC" and features connected to the osaifu-keitai?

Since it has been possible on Cynogenmod ROM, I suppose something can be done here too.

Please, try to make some research on Japanese language .

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
The Osaifu keitai is a different implementation of NFC than the international NFC. So if I had to give it a shot to enable it, I would try,

i) Finding the NFC relevant folders/drivers etc from stock ROM, root ROM or CM 10.1 Jp Remix

ii) Replacing these folders/drivers etc in the the international ROM from the ones obtained in (i)

iii) Pulling the Osaifu app from one of the ROMs and putting it in the international ROM

iv) Using the GNT2/S3a ExtremeTuner from kbc developers to fix the Osaifu security key related issues
[Galaxy S III General] Robobob1221:
If you go to the kbc dev wiki in github, go into the Note2 (SC-02E) directory, and scroll down to the bottom there's an entry for a make Japanized rom. In there's a zip and it contains all the libs, permissions etc to get osaifu, one - seg and spmode mail working on other custom roms.

Maybe don't use those files but pull the equivalent from a S3a rom and should work if you push them files.

Check the script for any other things you might need to do. I haven't taken an extensive look at the bash/shell script used to add it
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
[MENTION=3270544]kizuki.buy[/MENTION]

Yes, I did something like that before posting my previous post.

Unfortunately I did see many differences and I can’t recognize the right files/folders.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is “GNT2/S3a ExtremeTuner”?

[MENTION=4476750]Robobob1221[/MENTION]

I had found the same ZIP file for the SC-03E on its page, but I didn’t know how to use it.

Which “script” are you talking about? The BAT file? The TXT file?

First step I’d like the hardware being recognized.
[Galaxy S III General] Robobob1221:
If there's similar in the sc-03e wiki download that and use it.

Basically extract all the files from the zip into a new directory on your PC. I put mine in the root directory eg. C:/makejapaniszedrom/(extract zip here).

Place the rom you want in the same directory and then execute the .bat file and it will do everything for you.

You'll need to choose between one seg or osaifu/spmail as for some reason it can't do all three, at least in the previous version.

The gn2/sc3a extreme tuner is an app you can find the wiki. It allows you to back up the Osaifu key from a stock rooted rom and apply it to a custom rom, amongst other things.

Sorry if I've multiple posted this!
[Galaxy S III General] majin:

Hi.

Thank you... but what kind of ROM file did you put in that folder?

The BAT file asks about a (ROM?) ZIP file.

I'm worried it asks a recovery flashable ROM.

Then, the ROM file has to be renamed in some way?
[Galaxy S III General] Robobob1221:
Yeah a custom rom like you find in the forums. I used MyRom from the tmo forums. No need to rename.

You're looking for a odin flashable way still?

The hardware can't be recognized and the Osaifu-Keitai gives me an error message.

More, if I overwrite some file, at the next reboot, the phone stucks on the boot's logo.

Sorry, but I can't understand if I have to edit something else on my ROM.

More, I did try to drag a Zipped ROM on the BAT file make_japanized_ROM_SC03E.bat inside the tool folder, but the CMD gives me an error: "\make_japanized_ROM.wsf(179, 3) ADODB.Stream Not possible to open the file".

Last thing, I'd like to use GNT2eXtremeTuner to make the key's backup... but that app is just in Japanese languge. I wouldn't make mistakes.

Can someone guide me how to backup/restore step by step?

I need more help.

quite simple. just click 'Felica Control KBC　KernelのFelica設定', then click 'Felica Device Keys設定', click '取得'. The next step is to do 'Unlock Felica device 強制的FelicaLockを解除します'. it will suggest to reboot the device. after the reboot, i will welcome your Felica back.

Paranoid Android

Hello everyone!! for the longest time i was trying to find other custom roms for this phone! instead i learned that it is fairly easy to get a I9305 rom to work. all you need to do is replace the boot.img from your phone to the rom you want and the the following files /system/ect/wifi

and

/system/ect/dhcpcd﻿

if you want you save yourself some time, i have already fixed up the latest Paranoid Android, i have it running on my phone and haven't found any problems, everything works including LTE. Message me if you want the download link for the rom (i'm unable to post links)

[Galaxy S III General] majin:
I did check it is enought to chabe just the file inside /system/ect/wifi. See here.

Did you find a way to let "NFC" and Osaifu-Keitai work back again?

To complete your work, modify the following lines in /system/build.prop

ro.product.name=SC-03E

ro.product.device=SC-03E

ro.build.product=SC-03E

but ditching the gf would save me more money, stress, and money...
[Galaxy S III General] Edgrr000:
Thank you, i did modify the build.prop file but i missed a few lines.

NFC and Osaifu-Keitai, i don't use so i didn't even bother. but if anyone could explain to me how to do it, i will gladly add it to rom for anyone who needs it.

Wi-Fi tethering doesn't work (so iretract the statement that everything works) and it's something i can't live without. i read the Paranoid Android forum has a few people with the same problem so i will wait for an update then make changes. I'm currently downloading the rEXTREME.v9.1 rom and plan to do the same thing to it, at the same time i will look into adding NFC and Osaifu-Keitai.
[Galaxy S III General] JarodCB:
i had that, too. just flash their newest kernel, that did it for me.
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
For me, after the mod, the Wi-Fi tethering works ad usual.

About NFC/Osaifu-Keitai i was working with make_japanized_ROM_SC03E_20130524.zip from github.com, but I didn't get any result.

If you can work on Stock ROMs for SC-03E, please try to add the European languages too.

I tried adding NFC/Osaifu-Keitai to the Paranoind Android rom but i got a "processing error". not entirely sure what it means.

Good news! i got the rXTREME.v9.1 ROM running on it!! still no NFC though. This ROM is by far the best i've had, it had plenty of customization utilities, multi-windows for all apps, and my favorite; the Note 2 keyboard.

i uploaded a video on youtube dot com /watch?v=__InWK281OM

it only runs on the stock kernel though, i had to extract it from the stock rom, so you will loose root but it can easily be regained flashing the root file mentioned somewhere in this post. Since it's running on the stock kernel i believe that NFC may be able to work on this ROM, i haven't tried it yet

who liembe

Hi,

I'm still on stock LK5, and am looking to root and eventually flash the 4.2 AOSP kernel and CM10.1 (May 13th build, or wait for a newer version). Looked through the thread multiple times but wanted to reconfirm some details.

1. I thought CWM could only be installed on a rooted phone. But saw a couple users mention they installed it first, then used the sc-03ce_root.zip method instead of Aki's pre-rooted stock roms.

If possible I want to stay on LK5 because I need to be able to use a 3G Foma sim from bmobile. If possible, I rather not have to re-flash the modem back to LK5 and if I can just root my stock phone with LK5 already (didn't think this was possible based on the earliest posts and Japanese blog posts and 2ch threads).

2. Anyone like kizuki.buy use the sc-03ce_root.zip to root have any issues? Anyone who have seen phones rooted with both this file and aki's pre-rooted files see any differences? Would it just be safer to use Aki's pre-rooted roms and then flash back to the LK5 modem?

3. What modem does CM10.1 come with?

4. CM10.1 has band selection options; does anyone using a 3G sim using CM10.1 have any problems have their sim recognized even if they turn off LTE? With LK5 on stock you need to go into the service menu to set WCDMA to all and a 3G sim like a Foma sim can be recognized on the Docomo network (it won't be recognized even on the 3G network if band selection is set to automatic).

5. Even with band selection, do you need the LK5 modem flashed for it to work properly like on stock roms? If it doesn't already come included, can you flash the LK5 modem to CM10.1? If I already have it via stock will it still be there when flashing CM10.1?

-------------------------

6. I read through the guide for flashing everything back to stock (for warranty purposes, etc.). I was wondering how does CWM get uninstalled after flashing a stock official rom? In the past on my Galaxy S2 I installed CWM and never went back to stock. If you put the phone in download mode does that override the CWM menu? Once flashing back to stock does the original bootloader automatically load and CWM is gone?

7. If I want to flash back to a stock rom, but do not need to get my phone back to stock for sending in to service, can I use CWM to flash the rom instead? Would this let me keep CWM?

-------------------------

8. Has anyone used the Japanized rom one shot tool to make a CM10.1 JP Remix rom for the SC-03E? I have the May 13th build already from the links posted on the thread, but has anyone used the tool to make a rom from a newer CM10.1 build? Are the CM10.1 JP Remix roms just CM10.1 nightlies with the Japanized one shot tool applied or do they have additional modifications by sakuramilk and ma34s3 after the tool is used?

Thank you!
