Well, as I said, I first flashed the stock rom, then the custom rom, like you, with the wipe in between.

At first I flashed both files (MB1) from this post.

That left me with the reboot problem that you also experience.

Now I have flashed the root MB1 from this post.

As far as I could tell, now the device status changed from official to custom. There does not seem to be any toggle in that file, but the root also does not disappear with a reboot. So now at least I can backup all my stuff before trying out the next version.
[Galaxy S III General] didoka_702:

but no CWM at this time.

i already unlocked my phone but my friend is asking me how to unlock SC03E free.so any solution that has been successed?

or i will have to pay another 15$ to unlock.
[Galaxy S III General] djkawada:
I have no clue about unlocking procedure... i'm sorry.

Does anybody knows if thi web-site is trustfull for rom update ? androidjinn(dot)com/update-galaxy-s3-sc-03e-to-omamb1-android-4-1-2-latest-official-firmware(dot)ht(ml)

Because they propose an update to the 4.1.2 for the SC-03E.
[Galaxy S III General] davidcsv:
Have you considered the GalaxSim Unlock app made by Spocky. It's available in the Play Store. It will first let you know whether it can permanently unlock your phone or not, and if yes, then you can decide to proceed with the in-app payment, for me it was 2 euro, and get unlimited access to unlock compatible devices.
[Galaxy S III General] drazzes:
Hi,

I have finished flashing my SC-03e with custom rom.

But, I get a problem with my SC-03e. When I use the phone in my home country Indonesia, it always show roaming (R) on the signal bar.

Besides the phone already officially unlocked by docomo.

Anyone can solve my issue?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] djkawada:
I had de same problem and i solved it by parametring the acces point (for data and mms) and selecting my provider.

Thank you for sharing this rom. But i dont speak chinese and i would like to know the purpose of this Rom ?

Is it stock based ? Is it rooted ?

Is the rom need a gesture to be rooted ?
[Galaxy S III General] alansxf:
rooted
[Galaxy S III General] djkawada:
Thank you.

Do you know on what rom it is based ?

Weak Mobile Signal

I am currently on carbon ROM 4.2.2. My baseband is SC03EOMALK5. I experience very weak mobile signal strength as compared to other mobile phones. I even get call drop outs. My carrier is Telenor PK. I don't need LTE but I want good mobile signal strength. Can somebody provide me good flashable modems for SC-03E ? Can I flash modems available for GT-i9305 on SC-03E?
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
Made a guide.. with several links and specifically for unlocking your phone with the proper ROM (has the LK5 modem which is the go to for unlocking and working with other carriers), and instructions to do just about everything you need to get done with this phone.

[MENTION=4524799]davidcsv[/MENTION] : can you make the link to my & [MENTION=4505156]DroidZombie[/MENTION]'s guide a bit more obvious in the OP so we don't have to quote our past responses to this question?
[Galaxy S III General] davidcsv:
You've earned a heading and paragraph in the Hint & Tips Section (also hotlinked from the OP)

Note however, based on my observations in a couple of other device specific threads, that there will always be people posting questions for which answers have already been provided in the OP or throughout the thread. They just seem unwilling to spend that little bit of extra time to search the thread or read the first few posts and expect a quick answer or solution to their problem(s).
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
Indeed...Google seems to have been forgotten.
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
Thanks... but for some reason, I got a gut feeling that it will still be ignored...

*sigh*
[Galaxy S III General] majidkhan:
Relax guys

Sorry for troubling you guys. I didn't know whether unlocking meant improving signal strength. What I think about unlocking is to get signals when your phone is officially locked.
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
Unlocking your phone just means you can use different carriers. You still need to have a plan for one of them and your signal strength is dependent on your area. It has nothing to do with your phone...well almost nothing. Your modem software can affect things, but that is minimal.
[Galaxy S III General] Edgrr000:
Still no kernel for 4.3?
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
Nope, we're at the mercy of the KBC team unless someone can port one for us. Plus we'd need a new version of the conversion tool too. I can email them again, but it looks like work on this model has stopped.
[Galaxy S III General] Edgrr000:

I found something!!

http://bbs.shendu.com/thread-2547376-1-1.html

And

They both seem to be running this Kernel

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?uk=2452738681&shareid=1145627170

Which is not on the KBC website, and i can't download it.... :(

seems like you need an account from that website in order to download... anyone know Chinese?
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
From the look of it they are using the 4.2.2 kernel with standard slimrom 4.3

I'd say make a cwm backup, flash slimrom 4.3 then the old kernel. Technically, it should fail, but they seem to have it working. I wish we could download their rom and pull the kernel to see what it is
[Galaxy S III General] chooch79:

A New Cooker

A New Cooker: http://www.mediafire.com/download/7vwfcm5537o6n0m

Now you can cook Android 4.3 ROMs.

boot.img for Android 4.3 was extracted from ma34s' cm-10.2-20130903-AOJP-MIKU-NIGHTLY-sc03e.zip. I'm thankful his work.

Please don't ask me questions about SC-03E because I don't have one, especially about the bootsplash screen. It's unchangeable.
[Galaxy S III General] majidkhan:
[ROM]Slimbean 4.3 NTT Docomo SC-03E

Thanks a lot to smile Dian Vichy of bbs shendu forum, IparryU and chooch79 whose efforts made it possible. I am just putting it in writing.

Disclaimer: You are flashing your phone at your own risk. Make sure you know have flashed a custom ROM before. If not, please go to CM10.1 for SC-03E guide.

Recommendation It is recommended that you make a nandroid backup of your existing ROM and all data before flashing this ROM. If something goes wrong, you can revert back to your existing setup using your nandroid backup.

Requirements Its flash method is same as that for CM10.1 JP Remix for SC-03E posted here. If you are on stock firmware or recovery, follow steps 1 to 3, 4( if you want Osaifu Keitai/Felica), and 5 (to flash CWM,) on the CM10.1 post to get your phone rooted and CWM installed.

Procedure 1. Download Slimbean ROM 4.3 and any on the three gapps packages from the following links

a. Slimbean 4.3 ROM Courtesy@IparryU

b. Slim AIO gapps 4.3 or Slim Aroma Selectable Apps 4.3 Build 1 or Slim Minimal Gapps 4.3

I tried the Slim AIO gapps package.

2. Reboot into CWM (hold volume up + power button + home) and install the ROM:

--Wipe cache and dalvik

-Wipe Data/Factory Reset/System

-Select Mounts and Storage Select format / system select YES format (Only format /system partition)

-Install Slimbean ROM

-Install Gapps package

-Reboot

Slimbean ROMs come with Nova Launcher. But i like the stock launcher. Select the one you like.

Root Access By default, root access is disabled. You can enable it by going to Developers Options -> Under Launch Tools there is Root Access.
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
Thank you soooo much. This is awesome! I'll test it out and get back to you.
[Galaxy S III General] chooch79:
It Works!

I tested it and it worked great! I cooked the i9305 nightly. Only issue was the mobile network APN. I had to manually type the Docomo SPmode APN in. Nice change to the anime boot splash!
[Galaxy S III General] :
Thanks for testing it.

Missing APNs is probably CyanogenMod's native issue which affects all AOSP roms.

Type your APN manually by the time they fixes it.

Name: spmode

APN: spmode.ne.jp
[Galaxy S III General] chooch79:
With the old cooker, I used it to cook all kinds I9305 4.2.2 roms and it always had the APN's. It's not much of an issue. I am very grateful for having a 4.3 cooker!
[Galaxy S III General] :
it's CM10.2 (Android 4.3 ROMs) issue. :)

CM10.1 (Android 4.2 ROMs) are not affected.
[Galaxy S III General] majidkhan:
extreme rom 13.1

I cooked the extreme ROM 13.1 last night. It includes the aroma installer which backed up my EFS and it asks for CSC selection as well as it includes boeffla and Perseus kernel. I didn't proceed with the install. Can somebody explain to me what should I choose in the aroma installer or post a guide?
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
I guess I will be the Guinea pig for some other 4.3 ROMs...

I will do PACman and CM10.2 today. I am really liking the PACman ROM... so many features and things to experiment with....
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
I'll cook up carbon this week. It's still by far the most responsive rom
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
pac_i9305-nightly-20130929 & cm-10.2-20130928-NIGHTLY-i9305 confirmed to work!

that damn splash screen is just... embarrassing...
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
Indeed, removing it would require editing the boot image. The theory is simple...but I've never done it.
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
done been GoogleFu-ing all morning... it doesn't look that hard, but the first 2 approaches I followed failed to extract the boot image from the kernel...
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
You do it the other way around. The boot image is in the cooker. You need to split it into the kernel and ram disk. Then look at the init files, one is an rle image. That is what needs changing. There are a few steps to do that too. Search for it on xda, I know it's here. If you're having trouble I can help you later tonight once I'm back at my pc
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
T-T

that makes hella more sense.... thanks for that.

folders 17 and 18 have boot imgs.

will work from here! tnx [MENTION=4505156]DroidZombie[/MENTION].

PS are you in Tokyo by any chance?
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
Kamakura, so it's not that bad to get into Tokyo
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
This is what I need to do:

http://www.imajeenyus.com/computer/20130301_android_tablet/android/unpack_repack_recovery_image.html

Bad thing is... my computer is at my ex's place and my work computer does not have Linux... so I have to wait until i can get my stuff from my ex's house to start working on this.

I just moved to Nishi Tokyo this weekend...

Kamakura hugh? Lucky you!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
The boot image is more complex. It needs to be converted to a viewable format first.
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
technically you could just get the extracted boot image and compare it with a prepared boot image (from ROM Toolbox per se) and then replace the files needed right?
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
I don't use rom toolbox. I'd suggest mounting the stock Rom tar.md5 in Linux then pull the boot.img from that. Extract it's init.rle and put it into the custom boot.img. Then remake the boot.img.
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
ok i will try that. i will work on it tomorrow evening after I settle in to my new place.
[Galaxy S III General] magicvice:
Great work!

THX!!! - all is working well!

..only a short question: I cant find anything about a integrated FM-Radio. I know in Japan the Phone can use the Digital TV, maybe thats why there is no FM Chip inside?

THX for your work!

Regards!
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
You can watch television in certain areas around Tokyo. It's called oneseg.
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
Not compatible with 4.3 i thought?
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
Probably not. I don't get service out here so I never bother checking.
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
I cant even find the app from play.google.com

if someone sends me the link to the apk i will test it out.
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
Not on play. Again, I'd say mount the stock Rom and pull it from that. I'll have a look tonight to see if I can find it.

But it's pretty well guaranteed not to work outside of Japan. The software is written to use local frequencies. It would take a whole new app and possibly libraries to get it to do standard radio.
[Galaxy S III General] offace:
hei i am new here
[Galaxy S III General] IparryU:
OK, my guide here has been updated with links to all the popular ROMs.

Let me know if there are any mistakes!
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
Looks good to me.I'll have to update mine too.
[Galaxy S III General] DroidZombie:
The apk is in the cooker. MobileTV.apk. it's in diff/sc03e/one-seg/system/app

So it should be included/.
[Galaxy S III General] :
One-Seg doesn't work on Android 4.3 for now even if MobileTV.apk was installed.
