What rooted image are you running?

I'm not 100% sure but I dunno if the installer could access superuser.

Are you using the rooted system.img from aki?
[Galaxy S III General] sicksixseek:
anyone having the same problem with portable hotspot?

i have a factory unlocked rooted stock mc3 sc-03e, when i use mobile data and use portable hotspot. mobile data automatically disabled? am i missing something?

i have a international version of s3 i9300 never had a problem like that.
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
At present I'm running just all stock stuff.

Does Xposed need a rooted device?
[Galaxy S III General] Robobob1221:
Yes xposed needs root.

If aki made a rooted fs factory image from your stock firmware I would use that, else if someone is running Linux they can use the zip from the kbc developers to make a rooted factory system.img. It's the only way to get root working as fully as possible with our phones currently.
[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
I am assuming that you are using a data service other than Docomo.

It is a well documented "feature" of the Japanese ROM. In wifi tethering mode, it automatically sets the APN to Docomo spmode (non-editable).

The way around it would be,

i) Edit the build files to add your required APN for tethering mode

ii) Use a tethering app like FoxFi

iii) Use a custom ROM like CM10.1

Would you mind to post how to solve the roaming issue? Where would I find out the access point? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
Do you mean that even the people who paid the DoCoMo's fare for SIM-Unlocking the SC-03E could have that same problem?!?!

It could be not perfectly kind from DoCoMo...

Which FoxFi is fine for the job? Free version or full version?
[Galaxy S III General] sicksixseek:
Tried FoxFi ( no luck, same result - data network auto disconnect )

will try cm10 later. thanks for the info.
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
[size=+1]Now I'm getting very tired about DoCoMo policy...[/size]

I did try for test to create a new APN with "not DoCoMo" settings...

If I go to edit MNC and/or MNC fields and then I go to save the profile, the APN just created disappears from the list!

Is it the same for you?

Are the right MNC and/or MNC really necessary for the data connection on the overseas Network?
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
Did you try to enable "Data roaming"?
[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
Yes, SIM Unlocking by Docomo does not solve this problem.

Basically the ROM with all the Docomo bloatware does not go away even if one leaves the Docomo contract. Unfortunately, there is no unbranded 'official' ROM available as of now for this version of the S3 hardware.

Apparently FoxFi is not working. I had read on a Japanese blog that it worked with SC-05D, so assumed that it might work here as well. So the options are edit the system files or try with CM10.1

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

If you have root, you could also try pulling the /system/framework/framework-res.apk file, decompiling it using apktool, edit the /res/values/strings.xml file and search for a tag config_tether_apndata for your APN. Once done, recompile the apk, put it back in the same location and grant the proper permissions.

I have not tested CM10.1, but assuming that they have carried over this hardcoding of APN from the stock ROM.

---------- Post added 4th May 2013 at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was 3rd May 2013 at 11:57 PM ----------

The MCC/MNC fields refer to the Country and the Carrier code. I think these can easily be identified from the SIM as well. If you are using Docomo SIM, but creating an APN with different MCC/MNC, there could be a case that the phone is automatically identifying from the SIM the MCC/MNC for Japan/Docomo and since the APN MCC/MNC do not correspond to it, the phone automatically hides it.

Normally while setting an APN, these fields are not mandatory. But even if you do not set them, they generally get auto-populated using the information from the SIM.
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
Edit, ok... but Delete?!

​
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
I can confirm that using a "gaijin" SIM, I can set all the fields correctly... even MCC and MNC.

That is quite well.

... but now I can't test if actually it works.

More, for this reason, I can't test the "gaijin" Wi-Fi Tethering too.

I say again, this is not a good policy from DoCoMo, above all for the people who paid for SIM-Unlocking.

[Galaxy S III General] JarodCB:
Hey guys!

I just came back to let you know my further experiences with the phone so far!

I have installed CWM Recovery as suggested in a former post, I also have installed CM 10.1 by sakuramilk and its working fine now. Root and everything. I only realized that the mobile internet needs to be configured before it works. But as earlier mentioned, just put in the apn yourself and it should work in Japan.

Question 1: However I have noticed that during the startup, when the Docomo Logo appears, a tiny red ! appears on the top left of the screen. I assume this is due to the custom rom? Is it something I should worry about? Any solution to fix this, so it disappears?

Question 2: My Communicase stopped working, I assume that has to do with the missing docomo account in the account settings. Anyone knows how to add that manually? The docomo spmail app works though, but it is horrible, if there is any chance of using an alternative, let me know!

Question 3: Also I have experienced a much faster drain of battery. It might be due to using the lagfree governer. I know this is not a thread for cm10.1 related issues but if anybody has experience with this phone and governers, please drop me a hint! I want that thing to live longer!

If you have any questions, I saw that some people had problems installing cm10.1, ill be glad to help!

Edit: Just to clarify, If I wanted to go back to the docomo rom, I could just flash my backup from cwm, but then I would need to flash stock recovery with odin before I boot the phone into android, is that correct?

Itried MC3 prerooted but no root access

Hi I downloaded the pre-rooted stock MC3 version but I've no root access. I used this file ==>SC03EOMAMC3_SC03EDCMAMC3_RR20130401

can anyone tell me what's the problem
[Galaxy S III General] djkawada:
Hello, for the prerooted rom, you have to press the volume up/down/power at the same time. If it work your phone should install the root library. (If it does not work your phone will simply reboot. . . And if it's the case then you will have no solution but to install the rooted stock rom from Aki.)

Is it possible to work (edit) in some way the APN settings from ServiceMode Shortcut (App)... so to cancel the limitation about the Wi-Fi Tethering with a different SIM?

I did play some time with the ServiceMode, but I didn't find anything... I am worried that I can't see some menu item, because my phone is not rooted now.

Any advice? Someone did find something?
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
Thank you for your advice...

The procedure you showed me for the language is too much hard for me.

I'm not so skilled to do it.

Now I was searching for fix the problem about the Wi-Fi Tethering with a different SIM / Different APN.

I'm disappointed by that as same as I need it.

It seems that the solution is similar to the solution you showed me for the language.

I did find this guide... http://www.bunguyasan.net/dialy/kiji2430.html and this http://thefocus.blog94.fc2.com/blog-entry-15.html

I can't understand Japanese language, but it seems that the ROM has to be rooted.

So, it doesn't fit my need.

I wish to keep the original ROM, but the Rooted Stock ROM is not really rooted, so I can't play anything.

I hope someone of you more lucky and skilled than me, can work on some stock ROM and release some patch (for "real Root", for "open APNs" and for more languages)... or show to me some link for detailed full guides to start up that.

Onegai shimasu.
[Galaxy S III General] JarodCB:
Hey Man, what Rom were you using?

Because the stock rom and pre rooted stock rom both let me select English when I set up for the first time. The first setting, although its in in Japanese, lets you select from 日本語 to English. If the Kanji are not displayed, try to google the Kanji for Nihongo. It should appear. Sakuramilks CM even had German on it, which I am using now.

If that didn't exactly adress you problem, Im sorry. Though I can offer you help with Japanese, if needed!

Good luck!

Stuff for working...

Missing something "fast" dor the APK signature.
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
After many efforts, I have found someting... but is not enough.

First I did flash the Rooted MC3 ROM from aki0306.

This one (new link) [CRC-32 C8EF95E4] posted by aki0306 (post) is different from this [CRC-32 5BD84256] posted in the first post.

Same thing for Rooted MB1 [CRC-32 DA429BFA] from aki0306 and Rooted MB1 “1st post” [CRC-32 76D7C6EA].

I did try flashing both the new Rooted ROM from aki0306.

It seems that also these two are not totally rooted.

Triangle Away doesn’t work even after installing SuperSU which declare that the phone is rooted... and still I can’t see the system folders (how to??).

After many searched, I did find “Root Browser Lite v2.2.0.apk”, “SQLite Editor v2.0.1-AnDrOiD.apk” and “SecureMode Shortcut” and these guides (A, B) to help me for my job.

With “SQLite Editor v2.0.1-AnDrOiD.apk”, I did find the database setting.db in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/.

Openiing , in “secure” I did add the string tether_dun_required with value “0”, but nothing about DoCoMo to delete!

Then, reboot.

Then I performed a test, setting a new APN (not Docomo) and enabling the Wi-Fi tethering… But checking with “SecureMode Shortcut”, I did see that again the APNs turned into dcmtrg.ne.jp!

I am not so sure about this test, because I did it just with the DoCoMo SIM inside the phone… Maybe someone else can do.

Then following for a while this guide and with “Root Browser Lite v2.2.0.apk”, I did find the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk.

I did bring it on my PC, using “apktool” to decompile it.

I did arrive at /res/values/strings.xml file, searching for the DoCoMo APNs to edit/delete

(such as <string name="config_tether_apndata">docomo_hotspot,dcmtrg.ne.jp,,,,,,,,,440,10,,default,supl</string>),

but NOTHING… as you can see.

[UPDATE]

OK, my mistake... I did find the right string. Now working in progress.

I'm going to edit the string

NAME,APN,PROXY,PORT,USER_NAME,PASSWORD,SERVER,MMSC,MMSPROXY,MMS_PORT,MCC,MNC,AUTHENTICATION_TYPE,APN_Type.

I think I'll have problem about to sign the APK. Please help me.

[/UPDATE]

Unfortunately, I stopped at this point… I do not know what to do… I don’t know what to change, I can’t understand (sorry) that Japanese guide and I don’t know how to re-compile and how o sign the APKs.

I have found also this page and this page, edited not so long time ago.

Is someone able to do it? I'm not.

Any idea?

If someone needs it, I can post "framework-res.apk" and “setting.db”.

please someone help me out with step by step simple procedure to do this.

also i am facing problem in wireless tethering, as soon as i start tether my phone signal lost data connection...:crying::crying:

please help me out some expert,

i will be thankful to him.

Android : 4.1.1

Baseband Version : SC03E0MALK5

Build Number : JRO03C.SC03EOMALK5
[Galaxy S III General] majin:
I suppose you have already SIM-Unlocked your phone.

If you did not, before any update, go here and go direct to "STEP 4: SIM UNLOCKING / NETWORK UNLOCKING on DoCoMo SC-03E".

After the unlocking, you can flash the Rooted MC3 ROM by Aki.

If you read the thread from the start, you will know many info about SC-03E ROMs.

The odd problem about the tethering is for everyone. The APNs are locked

Now I'm working on it.

yes, i have sim-unlocked handset..

so all i need to flash directly rooted MC3 ROM by Aki... or before i will have to flash stock one???

can u plz provide me link as well.... i m sorry, but seriously i dnt knw much abt all this....

after flashing this rom also my handset will remain sim-unlocked or i will have to unlock it ???

will this rom run perfectly in India ? except tethering any other issue ???

tethering is must required facility, but i cnt use it anymore... :(:( please resolve this problem also soon...

Thank You.
[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
You can also try another method for the tethering issue,

i) Install the Xposed framework (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401)

ii) And then try installing this Xposed module (http://pqovopq.seesaa.net/article/358255433.html)

By the way, the CM 10.1 JP Remix nightly builds from 6-May onward has support for many European languages including Italian.

Ok, thank you.

I will flash again the Rooted ROM by Aki and I will try Xposed framework.

Did you try it with your SC-03E? Does it work about the issue on tethering?

[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
I have not tried the Xposed solution with my sc-03e because I am using CM 10.1 (no tethering issue in CM 10.1)

But as per the second link, where the person has developed the Xposed module sepcifically for sc-03e, that person has tested on sc-03e and it works.

The CM 10.1 JP Remix May-13 build is working pretty good for me,

1) Battery - Quite good (in fact I think better than stock), although the earlier release was giving me low battery life

2) Language - International languages already included!!, so MoreLocale 2 not needed anymore

3) One seg - Works perfectly

4) Osaifu - Works perfectly

5) Tethering - This was never an issue in CM 10.1

6) Band selection - Option to select LTE/WCDMA/GSM directly available in menu. So no need to Service Mode apps

I am using b-mobile, so do not know about spmode mail, but as per comments on 2ch, there is no issues with spmode mail either.

You think this may 13 version of cm10 will fix my apn ( mobile data issue? ) I've tried all the version of cm 10.1 except with this may build. When i put my correct apn here in philippines. I dont have data connection. That's my only issue in cm10.1. The rest is okay. Will try this later when i get home.
[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
I really doubt if it is a CM 10.1 issue

I am using a non-docomo APN that I input manually and it works fine for me.

There could be many reasons for not getting data on your phone,

1. Are you subscribed to a data plan?

2. The APN that you input - Does it correspond to your data plan? Is the APN selected and enabled properly?

3. Is your phone set to the "Enable Data" (and data limits etc are not set in settings)

4. Is your phone set to WCDMA/LTE mode? (i.e. not set to only 2G mode)

5. Does the mode set, correspond to your data plan? (e.g. Your data plan might be LTE only, but you have set the phone only to WCDMA)

6. Does the frequency at which your service provider provides the data service, supported by your phone? (The bands supported by sc-03e radio for data are UMTS800 (B6), UMTS850 (B5), UMTS2100 (B1), UMTS1700/1800 (B9), LTE2100 (B1), LTE1500 (B21)

All the above points will need to be ensured to get data connection on the phone.

Thank you for your advice!

That man is simply a genious!

The module seems to keep the "strangers" APN even on Thethering.

Since Xposed needs a Rooted ROM, I had to flash the the Rooted ROM MC3 by aki.

However, the with the ROM by aki on board, the device in "download mode" displays "Custom"... while the other Rooted ROM don't do it.

To go back to "Official", just flash the stock ROM again... but we will lose the use of Xposed obviously.

I have still not tryed the last CM 10.1 JP Remix May-13 build, but it seems pretty interesting.

Just to know, what is "One seg"?

Thank you very much... Probably I'll ask for you.

To check out what it happens, when you switch on the Tethering, use Sevice Mode Shortcut from Google Play.
[Galaxy S III General] sicksixseek:
Yes i am subscribed to a data plan

Yes it does and its enabled properly

Yes WCDMA/LTE mode

My plan is vice versa. It can be used for LTE and WCDMA. I cant use LTE in sc-03e bec Globe PH set the LTE into diff frequency. So i only used WCDMA. i have a spare s4 when i want to use LTE.

i just checked the national data roaming. Because if i dont, i get roaming signal.

[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
It is really weird, that you can get data on stock but not on CM 10.1

Another reason could be the radio baseband. What is the baseband that you are using with CM 10.1 (It can be checked in About Phone)

There is similar issue here in Japan for 3G data, where even the Docomo 3G data for non-LTE sim does not work on new basebands.

So if you are using a baseband different than LK5, please flash to the modem to LK5 and then try the data thing again.

[Galaxy S III General] kizuki.buy:
For ADB Shell, there is a slight change in implemetation from 4.2.2 onwards. Maybe the issue you are facing is because of this.

For Kies, I am not sure since I do not use. But the Samsung drivers themselves work fine on my WinXP PC and whenever I connect my phone, it recognizes as MTP and opens an explorer giving complete access to the phone storage.

That would be a driver issue with the system.img that you flashed... I would assume.
