Boot the device into recovery and it will show your CSC. You'll be able to work out from that what region your phones on. UBUAMDK is definately one of the South American ones though.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lostmyphone:
Simpler yet, *#1234# will show the CSC which reads UUBAMDK. I remember that code from using it a few days ago.

Thanks! I imagine UUB would be my phones' region code.

Argentina.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dave106:
Yeah but mine says that as well but my CSC region is actually TTT, Trinidad and Tobago. You need to go into recovery to be sure!!

Change that I noticed on this firmware is that screen rotation is faster than MDK.

I hope that it fixes the random reboot problem with the camera.

any news about overheating
[Galaxy S 4 General] jammyjamil:
Why this update is not pushed to indian users?
[Galaxy S 4 General] plasmastate:
Here is my little review on this ME1 update:

Previously, I had the MDK

I Had no camera crash issues or tint issues before even on MDK.

The firmware my phone came with (I don't remember which one, older than MDK) had no smearing issues at all.

But now after updating to MDK and then ME1 (through ODIN). The smearing issue came from no where.

My biggest problem however is the overheating issue (which is why I flashed ME1 in the first place).

The overheating issue still isn't solved (Yes, my media scanner is totally fine) after the update, but I think the phone gets just a little "sliiiightly" less hot compared to the previous MDK. I also feel that the launcher redraws have been minimized. However, I still get that occasional (Transition Stutter) when open and closing apps.

- The Dialer Lag is still there

- The Contact App Lag is still here

- The screen brightness adjustment not only changes the brightness but also the color temperature (when opening and closing the keyboard on a white webpage)

- The Lockscreen still isn't as responsive as say the iPhone

- The gallery app opening lag is still here

Overall, I think that this kind of a great hardware deserves a whole lot better firmware optimization from SAMSUNG. They seriously need to rethink what they are doing. The direction in which they are heading in the software department really scares me.

We are already compensation for the Ugly UI and now the lag and overheat too ? Totally not acceptable!
[Galaxy S 4 General] lostmyphone:
Seems you are correct, sir. I booted into the recovery directory and it reads TTT.

Good to know, cheers.

Any ideas on how to update the camera firmware? This firmware is showing a newer version on the phone, but "Phone to CAM FW Write (Rear)" is grayed out and cannot be selected.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
After ~1 day using this firmware, below is my finding:

1) Screen rotation is much faster and responsive than MDK. It's just better. (Actually I already posted this in previous post)

2) Camera still crashes randomly. It happened once today. :(

3) The device does not get as hot when using for a long time (if you're not playing games or running heavy applications). It's a lot cooler, really.

I agree with this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DaWoDo:
yeah .. i agree too
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sm007hCriminal:
Does the camera still crash?

Does the camera still crash as often as it used to in other firmwares?
[Galaxy S 4 General] plasmastate:
My camera app never crashed ever even before the update. I have just tested it again and abused the camera app icon a zillion times but it didn't crash lol.

Also, my battery temp now reports 35 to 37 max when using the device for extended period but when playing games, its a whole different story.

Hi,

after I have upgraded to 1.72.00WWE from 1.66.01GER my Xda II now makes hard resets all by itself. This has happened several times.

I was still installing all my apps after the upgrade, the reset does not happen when installing a specific app. I did backups inbetween using sprite. But even during the backup the unit has done a hard reset.

Sometimes this happens after working 2-5 minutes and sometimes after an hour or so.

Not knowing if this is part of the problem but the blue LED for BT started blinking a few times without BT being activated.

Once I did a soft reset and I had the BT led blinking and a blank screen. Then the only thing one can do is a manual hard reset...

This is very very frustrating :cry: :cry: :cry: .

Any ideas?

How could mount /data?

I put the script that used so far to copy some melodies, the bootanimation and some app to /system

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/system");

I remove battery and all the same

Please help

Try to dOwnload to the computer then transfer the Rom to the sd card and flash from there. Maybe a bad download.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: flashing

When you were wiping cache, dalvik cache and did a factory reset you forgot to wipe system.

It takes a lot longer than 10 seconds to flash any rom.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hyperx7:
this is what I did

downloaded 2nd time already and transfered to external SD card then inserted into phone. did wipe again and then flash fromexsd card .zip and on reboot samsung logo ......
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
Like I said, you still have not wiped "system"

also flash from internal SDcard not the external.

Put the zipfile on the root of your internal sdcard

do a full wipe/factory reset/wipe dalvik/wipe cache and then WIPE SYSTEM

Then flash the zipfile rom from INTERNAL SDCARD
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hyperx7:
what I have under cwm

1)wipe data/factory reset

2)wipe cache partition

3)advanced/wipe dalvik cach

but I dont see "wipe system"?? there is no such option
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
go to ADVANCED in CWM

Or go to the MOUNTS in CWM

to find wipe or format system

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

if it still is not working, then your CWM has something wrong with it.

You really should install Goomanager and use TWRP instead of CWM its so much better.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hyperx7:
Advanced contains:

1 reboot recovery

2 wipe dalvik cache

3 report error

4 key test

5 show log

6 fix permissions

also how do I copy zip to internal memory now?

Before I give you step by step instructions, have you ever flash a rom using ODIN ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hyperx7:
yes I used Odin v307 to do the root

using method from galaxyS3root.com

I used this method(odin) to root

http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: odin flash

ok, here are the instructions. This is the new PRE-ROOTED T999 4.1.2 odin flash rom which was released yesterday.

Easy and sure way to return your phone to stock rooted condition: Here is the step by step guide:

After you have followed these instructions your phone will be in stock condition with the benefit of being rooted.

Download the stock Samsung Galaxy S3 Jellybean v4.1.2 T999 stock-rooted firmware: http://d-h.st/Arn

After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the

file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.

Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file

Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14

Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)

Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin

Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted

Turn off your phone and boot into

DOWNLOAD MODE

(Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)

Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.

You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)

Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.

Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)

Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.

TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.

If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.

Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!

Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.

You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!

(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must have a a lot of patience!!!)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hyperx7:
thanks I'll try that

but this will also install new radio? I read that speed is no good on this one.

will I be able to reinstall radio from UVDLJC?

thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
it's fine for everyone I know, PLUS if you don't like the radio its easy to flash any other t999 radio

takes only a minute or two.

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 AM ----------

here is the odin flash UVDLJC radio/modem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6c3e0vdvq1oy10z/TMOGalaxyS3_UVDLJC_Modem.zip
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
And if it still doesnt boot, wipe data, dalvik, etc again after flashing your rom. Then reboot again. Doesnt always do it, but definitely worth trying.

Also, what version of android were you running before trying that rom? That is also often caused by an incompatible kernel. So if you were running ICS or CM, and you didnt flash the correct kernel, that will very likely be the problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
All the custom ICS/JELLYBEAN , and CM, aokp/aosp roms comes with kernels, so if those roms are defective it has nothing to do with odin flashing this stock rooted rom with the included kernel, modem and everything else it needs to work properly.

Be sure to make a nandroid backup of it once you get it working properly, and before you do anything else to the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yeah, I just thought id throw that out t here in case anyone else runs into similar issues.

Plus, im the type where even if doing one thing solves the problem, I still want to know what caused it to begin with!

Ive been seeing you all over these boards helping folks out and wanted to say you rock for all youre doing! :thumbup::cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: helping

Thanks, I kinda like helping, but sometimes I help too much and get BASHED for doing it. LOL

But it's OK, it's all part of this XDA game here.

It's just too bad that each thread here does not have a live text "CHAT" option like in the newsgroups... That would be even more fun!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hyperx7:
the funny thing is I did nandroid backup Before I "flash" this rom - I try to restore it now, but it says that MD5 is mismatch :) (and I didnt even rename folders/files in this back up) . I google it and found that I need to empty content of .md5 file before restore - and that did the trick. I restored successfully back to my previous v4.1.1 UVDLJC.

Now if anybody can help me to apply "Stock Deodexed T999UVDMD5".zip again? I just would like to know why it didnt work???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
#1: copy the Stock Deodexed rooted T999UVDMD5".zip to the root directory of your INTERNAL SDCARD

#2: download Goomanager from the play store (a free app)

#3: open goomanager and click the menu button then select

"installopenrecoveryscript" from the menu and wait until it

get's done, keep a close eye on the phone cause when it's done

it will display tiny text on bottom of screen saying "successful".

#4: there is an option in goomanager to reboot into recovery do

that and you will see the TWRP recovery when the phone reboots.

After that it's self explanatory.

Remember to do a full wipe/factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik cache and wipe or format "system".

Then you can flash the new 4.1.2 stock rooted deoxidized Jellybean T999 rom.

don't worry about the modem, this stock rooted rom does not contain any so it will use your existing one.

UPDATE:

I was able to flash "Stock Deodexed rooted T999UVDMD5".zip from INTERNAL SDCARD

but I now I have another problem I cant connect to KIES (its show connecting and nothing else), before new firmware it was fine.

I have two more s3 at home and I just tested they conecting to Kies fine.

any advise what to do?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: kies

As long as you have any stock-rooted deoxidized rom or any custom roms flashed in your phone

kies will NEVER recognize it.

KIES only recognizes a 100% stock phone. BUT there is no reason for you to connect with kies in the first place.

If connecting with kies is important to you why not just flash the 100% stock

odin flash T999 firmware which is not rooted or deoxidized?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hyperx7:
I didnt know that.

"KIES only recognizes a 100% stock phone." - but before I flash latest deoxidied firmware my phone was not 100% stock it was rooted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: kies

It must have been rooted in such a way that Kies did not reconize the fact that it was rooted

or perhaps it was an older version of the firmware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hyperx7:
I was rooted using galaxyS3root.com http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/ method, and my firmware was UVDLJC (not that old) - Kies worked fine and I have back up from yesterday on Kies.

Is there any other way to make Kies work?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: kies

Not that I know of, but if your main concern is making backups, you do NOT need kies to do it

there are a lot better methods of doing it. You don't even need a computer to make backups.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hyperx7:
I use Titanium to do backup/restore Apps, but what about settings of the phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: backup settings

There are apps at the play store which can do all that stuff, even backup mms, settings and everything else.

Here is a link to a good one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5yZXJ3YXJlLmFuZHJvaWQuTXlCYWNrdXAiXQ..

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: factory reset

Reboot into CWM or TWRP recovery whichever you have and do a "Factory Reset" and then reboot

the phone, 9 out of 10 times doing this will allow your phone to boot up and function work properly.

Doing this will not delete any of your pictures, videos or music files.

Good Luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hyperx7:
yes try "Factory Reset"

and/or

flash "Stock Deodexed rooted T999UVDMD5".zip from INTERNAL SDCARD (not from external sd card)

after that I was able to boot properly
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Madre Monstruo:
Now when I go to my GooManager app and hit reboot in recovery it takes me to this screen instead of the TWRP menu. Why am I getting this now? I'm confused..

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: reboot recovery

"THIS SCREEN" does not mean anything to me, I have no idea of what THIS SCREEN is.

If you want the TWRP recovery screen then simply open goomanager and press the menu key, then select

"Installopenrecoveryscript" and when it gets done flashing it and you select "reboot recovery" in TWRP it will

take you to the TWRP recovery screen.

You can also access the TWRP recovery screen by turning the phone off then press both the volume up and

the power button at the same time and after you see the little blue line on the top left side of your screen let

go of both buttons and the phone will boot into TWRP recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Madre Monstruo:
Yes I knew that would mean nothing, that's why I attached a link to a photo of "This Screen" that I was referring to.
