[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zealhybrid:
Hello!

After flashing many custom ROMs and leaks my phone was acting a little funky, so I decided to go back to factory stock. I fired up kies on my pc and went to "Emergency recovery" It asked me for my serial number (I thought this was for getting the right stock firmware) After everything was done the phone booted up normally but I ended up with a "La'Fleur" boot logo :eek:

All I wanted was my stock firmware (Without having to look for the firmware, modem,etc myself) I though kies would do a better job than me :silly:

Sigh...

Any of you experienced this before?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davjan:
Same problem here

Dont know how this happens...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Kies gives you the firmware that matches your serial number. So, your phone originally has this firmware, or an earlier version of it, i.e. your phone was branded.

If you don't like it get the latest unbranded firmware for your region from sammobile.com and flash with odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zealhybrid:
Well it's suposed to work like that... but my phone is the plain gray international version. That's why it's so funny to me. I created this thread to see if some other people were having this issue as well and it seems so.

Anyway, it worked for me because it restored the stock modem and cleaned the whole nand. As soon as I saw that "La'Fleur" logo, I wiped it and threw CM 10.1 at it. Working great so far.

My point is, Samsung should do better (as usual, with everything) at keeping their records.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Well, none of us know what happend. Could be the carrier originally planned to carry this model, bought it from Samsung, and later changed their mind and sold it to a third party.

Nothing to show Samsung's records are wrong.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zealhybrid:
Well, I bought mine at a retail store, unlocked and without any carrier bloatware. Just to point out "La'Fleur" is a special edition of galaxy devices featuring a special 'floral' design paint coat, that Samsung released for valentines; with ROM customization to match the design. As with mine being the plain grey version and using the 'official' method to get the stock ROM, I think I'm pretty safe to say that there's something wrong going somewhere at Samsung. :eek:

This is exactly what I was trying to avoid downloading the firmware, modem, etc and flashing it myself, getting something different than the one that came when I first took it out of the box... And this is exactly what I got using Samsung's method. LOL :laugh:

Kudos at Samsung! /s :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Ah, got it. Still, never know where the mix up came from, but I am more clear about your issue. ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davjan:
Also Got the plain Grey version...

And Also Got lafleur firmware after kies recover
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
After flashing is the answer .

The hdswver codes that are presented to Kies match that firmware release and that's what you get .

got la flour too... but then instal custom room like imperium hd or other, my imei is ruined... problems in modem but nothing helps... cyanogen works...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zealhybrid:
I got that too. Before you do anything to your phone, make sure yo do a Nandroid backup, also make a backup for your EFS partition as there is where your IMEI and radio paramaters are stored.

I had to send my phone to Samsung, and they replaced the motherboard.

Sorry to hear this happened to you :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenixas:
but does no one knows hot to fix it I read about modem version its about EFS partition format like new one from samsung, its readable by samsung firmware but not custom rooms I'll tried to flash custom and I need to chose modem version witch could read EFS partinion. My phone originaly is SEB it's baltic, I have 4.1.1 XEO instaled no imei... kies updated to xeo 4.1.2 and now it says software is changed cant update :D lol somthing bad is going with samsung :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BlekStena:
So the phone is Xperia U, for Croatian market.I dont know if you can check the model via the SI number ?

My problem is that the phone keeps crashing every time after android startups.In most cases it stucks on the unlock screen,where the phone freezes,and after 1 min it restarts .Sometimes it shows a black screen with an yellow triangle saying "The free space on memory card may not be enough.There is less then 200 mb free" for like 1-3 seconds.I tried flashing it with flashtool with 5-6 different stock roms but nothing helps.It alse wont charge when i connect it to the charger.The digitizer was cracked,and it was replaced with another from ebay.

I got the phone in this condition,but i think that the bootloader is locked,no root and not CWM.

Anyone have an idea ? Could the problem be with the kernel ? Is there a difference between st25i and st25a ?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BlekStena:
UPDATE

I managed to unlock the bootloader,and i put CWM on the phone.So i succeed in making a factory reset and clearing the user data.

Unfortunately the phone is still broken.With most TFT-s it wont even get past the SONY logo,or it just shows a dark screen and the red LED is blinking the entire time.

I m out of ideas.I tried every stock FTF i could find on XDA and still nothing.With the GB rom from Telcel it boots up to the lockscreen where it freezes and restarts.There is no more error of low memory,but a new error,that shows a crying smiley and says that the phone has crashed and shows a bar that loads to 100% and then restarts again :(

The phone works normaly in CWM,so i would exclude any hardware problems ?

The phone finally started up normaly. But,its not all done yet.The phone starts,but doesnt accept SIM card,the wifi doesnt work,camera etc.That is the CM kernel.The Stock kernel just freezes the phone on startup as all others before.

So,the CM kernel is version 3.0.80 and i should put CM9 on it,and everything will be ok ??? I dont understand why the stock kernel doesnt work at all,but the CM does :/

If you tried everything, try this

Hard Reset your phone from Settings... Delete everything from SD card too.

Turn off your phone

Remove your phone battery for few seconds and put it back.

Turn on phone and hard reset again. Wait for the phone to settle in. 5-10 Minutes.

Flash Gingerbread via flashtool. (according to your model a or i )

Make sure in flashtool you have selected wipe data and clear everything.

After Gingerbread rom is installed, Connect it via PC companion and do an update. If the ICS update is not available in your country, just repair the phone again.

Restart Phone....

Tell me is this helps ?

If not then try to flash a custom rom, I am using experience V2 and its smooth and best I have without any bugs.

Good luck !

I tried all of the solutions so far,and still no success.On all the other kernels,the phone will freeze and restart.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAZZI_US:
Does anybody face the same problem since a few days ago? I have an ICS and a JB device which both stopped updating the weather and the location in the lock screen.

Both devices are rooted with the SpeedMod kernel. But much longer than the problem persists.

I tried to clear the data of the Accuweather apps. I even restored an older nandroid backup, did a factory reset and finally tried to flash the ICS device with PIT an started from 2.3.3 to update to 4.0.4 again. Nothing changed.

Especially because not even a complete reflash helped, it must be some Accuweather server or service error.

The strange thing is, that the weather/location on the lock (!) screen does update itself, when I add the Accuweather widget to the home (!) screen and update manually. Removing the widget again, will prevent the lock screen weather to "freeze" again.

...on two independent devices!!

EDIT:

The JB device just had a wrong/disabled update interval after a modification. ICS still refuses to update without any known reason.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Seems like a bug, try searching for a mod.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAZZI_US:
Bugs don't appear after months of correct function.

And why am I the only one? And why on two different devices?

I don't want to use a mod just because the lock screen weather doesn't update all of a sudden.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAZZI_US:
I seem to have found the solution. Here's what I did:

Disable lock scree weather in the display settings.

Force close the service and process via application manger (section running).

Clear RAM.

Shut down the system.

Went into CWM recovery and cleared cache and dalvik cache.

Restart system.

Enable lock screen weather.

I can't quite explain, why factory reset and repartition didn't help, but cleaning dalvik cache does.

Does the dalvik cache survive a factory reset?? I guess no. Anyway, it seems to work again.

UPDATE:

Weather doesn't update again. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAZZI_US:
OK, the JB device has been "fixed". There it was just a reset update interval because of a recently installed mod.

But my ICS device still refuses to update. I desperately tried to factory reset it again with no succes.

Does anybody have an idea? :crying: Root is available, if there's an idea which needs it.
