MUST READ: Before any moderators delete this for the reason that there are many similar threads about games and sharing, let me distinguish this thread from others.

1. This thread will contain only free games.

2. This thread will contain UNMODIFIED games.

3. All links will be from PLAYSTORE, so members can see more precise descriptions and screenshots.

4. Games posted will not need any 3rd party apps and can be ran even in stock rom without any tweaks.(such as chainfire).

5. Games are running SMOOTH. I think its useless to share games with good graphics, but are laggy. Even a little lag makes the game uninteresting to play.

5. Every member is free to share their games, but then of course it must be free, unmodified, and available in google play.

6. All games shared by other members aside from me will be copied in the first post. Of course, I will quote them so as to give these members proper credit

I will be using this format for sharing games. Everyone who want to share theirs should use this in posting as well.

Please make your own summarized description, like describing what type of game it is and why you like it.

Also, I wont be able to test games that other members will post. For the games that dont work for our phone, please give feedback and I will remove them from this post.

All the games that I personally post are guaranteed WORKING and SMOOTH, as of their versions on my phone of course. If so ever that a recent update breaks the game, please tell me as well and I will remove them from this post.

Without further ado-

GAMES FIRST BATCH

Update #1

Update #2

*Next Updates will be posted on Post #2.

*Note: Feel free to share your games. But please use the suggested format above. Remember - Give only Free games, Play Store links only, and give games which are compatible (Yeah I know there are some free games in Play Store that we can run on SGY but playstore categorizes as "incompatible", please ignore those games, K?)

*Last Note: Please give due thanks to me and to those who shared their games if you downloaded, played, and enjoyed what we suggested. I think we at least deserve that.

However I do encourage everybody to share their app (particularly those awesome apps with very few downloads, thus undiscovered). I will quote any apps you guys share in the first posts, so as to give you recognition for it. Please dont hesistate to share. This is after all a SHARING THREAD.

[Tut] Unroot the Galaxy SIII (for stock updates/warranty) 14 June 2012.

Thanks for unlocking - hope you guys can make use of this. Feel free to ask any questions.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Can I add that between steps 10 and 11, if you have a custom kernel or recovery, and a JellyBean bootloader - when the phone boots, the flash counter goes back up to to 1.

To remedy this, you can either:

1) After pressing the volume key in Triangle away, interrupt the boot up by pulling the battery. Check in download mode. If 0, move on to next step - otherwise, repeat

2) Flash an ICS Bootloader via ODIN first. ICS bootloaders are reset permanently once reset via Triangle away

3) Flash a stock recovery and kernel via ODIN so the flash counter doesn't increase once reset via Triangle away

4) Flip the entire process around. Flash a stock ROM first, root with CF Auto root. Run triangle way then use the superuser app itself to unroot.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III General] doovd:
Thanks a lot mate, will add it to the original post!
[Galaxy S III General] kenzolo:
Can you confirm this procedure?

1)flash stock firmware with odin (for example MC2 4.1.2)

2) root + recovery

3)downgrade to XXALE8 bootloader

4) triangle away

5)another flash of stock firmware to uninstall recovery e root

It is the correct procedure?

I read about some issue in the 5) point (fail of odin in sboot.bin).....can I flash another time the stock firmware over the old bootloader?

[Galaxy S III General] Kriomag:
i figured out a way to restore full stock

i figured it by my self, thinking, what if i boot into fastboot, will it increase binary counter? it does not! :) so...

1. Reset binary counter using Triangle Away.

2. Hard restart your phone ( "-" and power for 8 seconds) and instantly when it happens hold key combination for download mode ( "-" and home and power).

3. Flash stock firmware (after that counter = 0 will not be increased).

4. Factory default (required to clear "modified" status in system settings).

5. Done! Full and clean stock :)

Yes it does but that's a bad idea. We're all i9300 users so our advice could lead to danger.

OP, please repost separately in each device forum so when we give advice, we know we're giving right advice.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Yep that's what i see non I9300 users find somehow this thread follow the instructions then from this forum decide to flash a rom that is not for their phone .

Foolish though maybe but enough Verizon owners have already done just that .

If my samsung galaxy s3 international is factory unlocked,

is it ok to flash any of these rom from this site that was given on this thread?

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300

and which rom or kernel is good for gaming?

my asphalt 8 really lag a lot.

I've seen a lot of stock kernel for samsung galaxy s3

what is the difference bwtween the one with [MENTION=248326]sep[/MENTION] and the one with [MENTION=271177]dell[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S III General] chezzzza:
getting stuck on step 1 :/

=====================

1.1 Turn off your phone.

1.2 Press the Home, Volume Down and Power buttons together.

1.3 Press Volume Up to continue when prompted

1.4 You will now see the binary counter will have an integer other than 0. Note this value down.

1.5 Download: TriangleAway. You can do this by going to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

1.6 Copy it to your phone's memory or SD card.

1.7 Use any file browsing software to install the apk you downloaded.

1.8 Open the application and follow the notifications shown.

1.9 Find "Reset Flash Counter". The details shown should match your binary counter that you noted down earlier.

1.10 It may also say "this information cannot be retrieved" or something of the sort - in that case you can go ahead (I had to do this) and press reset flash counter. It will now boot into it's own mode. Follow the instructions to reset. "Reset Flash Counter"

sorry im very new to this and out of my deph , when i select reset flash counter, it the warning sign comes on and says it will reboot i accept and then it doesnt do anything at all :?
[Galaxy S III General] creamoncrop:
Great that i have found this. For sure i will use this in future. :D
[Galaxy S III General] II GHOSTFACE II:
That happened because your now on efs V2 but if you have an efs v1 backup you can restore and older roms like your one will work again. If you don't then your modem must be at least V2. You can still unroot an everything just make sure you flash your modem with mobile odin then unroot with supersu.
[Galaxy S III General] SpEtZah:
Hi guys,

A friend of mine gave me his S3 to fix. Another mate flashed a certain (don't know which one) ROM on it, the phone worked and stopped working at some point in time.

All I can do with the phone is put it in download mode (volume down/up + home + power button).

There are no backups available of the phone...(typical :))

Now, I followed this procedure, using different versions of ODIN.

Doesn't matter which Odin version I use, I always get the notification that no PIT file has been found.

I know PIT files should not be used unless really no other option.

So I searched for the correct PIT file for this S3 model; added it in Odin, ran again; nothing happened...

Odin says that nothing succeeded, and 1 operation failed.

I always get fails in Odin with this phone...

It's really strange, why do I get this PIT - request? And how can I bypass it?

Or is this phone just completely dead...?

Thanks for your help!

CSC listed as Korea in KIES !....

Hi All,

I followed the post to the letter but my CSC seems wrong in Kies lists as KOR- Korea !!!! and I now get slow intermittent disconnections on H+ when connecting to the internet.

I downloaded the same ROM mentioned in the post I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_BTU.zip my phone is UK unlocked unbranded.

When I look at Kies it says software is up to date but lists the CSC as KOR ?..... does this mean everthing should work just fine and the customer service code is Korean.

Any advice, should I reflash with a different ROM ?.... any help advice would be greatly apprciated. :good:

question

Hello,

I have an S3 i9300. I followed the exact same steps as posted here, everything worked. My phone works too. The problem is that my android version is now 4.1 and when i try to update it via settings i'm being told that i have the latest android version. I have some friends with non-rooted s3 and they all have the 4.3 update.

Anyway i can update it to the official version? i do not want to use any custom roms or such.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Stock rom via Odinn from samsung-updates or sammobile

See stickied faqs and guides
[Galaxy S III General] bicepsul:
I downloaded and flashed the stock rom from samsung-updates. the one corresponding to my region and it has the 4.1 android. I took the updates from the links provided in this tutorial, should i use a different custom rom from another region that has the 4.3 update?

I chose the ROM update since i am from Romania. But i've also seen some updates to 4.3 from romania but they are related to Orange, Cosmote or Vodafone providers. And my phone is unlocked. Would choosing any of the three ones have any negative impact on my phone?

I've also seen a South East Europe version with 4.3 should i get this one?
[Galaxy S III General] II GHOSTFACE II:
No they will not have any negative effect, your phone is carrier locked same as mine, like you my official stock is 4.1.2 so I would use the carrier unlocked version for my region and change the csc code (will erase internal sd if changed) to the version for the firmware you choose so then if you connect it to kies in future it will officially update to the firmware you have as you have the corresponding csc code. But still if you use orange Vodafone etc you will be fine. If you was to send the phone for warranty then you would change it back to your 4.1 firmware but other than that no worries.
[Galaxy S III General] isholay:
You'll need root to change your phone's CSC back to BTU. You need to install Galaxy S, S2, S3 CSC changer from the playstore. Run the app and choose `root user' then 'change csc' all the available CSC will display. Choose BTU then press install. Please note, your phone will be completely wiped, you'll will need to do a backup. To be safe is better than sorry. After that you can unroot if you want. Good luck.
[Galaxy S III General] Daz555:
I seem to be stuck at flashing stock kernel.

Triangle away worked fine.

However when running Odin, I get a good connection (yellow icon shows 0:[COM3] ) and the following is displayed under message:

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> recovery.img

....and then nothing. Just sits there - 20 minutes so far. I'm using International-GT-i9300-StockRecovery.tar as I have an unlocked UK i9300.

How long does the flash normally take?

Edit: It's now ok. I tried again with Odin v3.07 and it worked first time in about 10 seconds.

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III General] jjmaia:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S III General] II GHOSTFACE II:
Your rom is only important when taking it back for repair (warranty) but it doesn't matter what rom you have whether it's locked or unlocked so flash what you want, having the corresponding csc will help finding new firmware for that rom (if it's not your rom) but you will be OK with anything including different csc. If you want the same csc use csc changer from play store but it will wipe your internal memory.

For finding firmwares including your Portuguese rom use Sam mobile website, I have linked it in previous posts.

If it's helpful hit the thanks button as it's much appreciated because many people wanting help don't hit thanks button so this thread is being abandoned.

My phone galaxy SIII GT-I9300 is originally from UK. Unlocked in pakistan and using it with android 4.4.2 custom rom. I have downloaded 4.1.2 official samsung rom for pak and want to install on this phone via odin. I want to know that can i install this official rom pak version as my phone is from UK and it has UK rom before upgradation.

Before updating to 4.4.2 it was on 4.1.2 official rom UK and now want to install 4.1.2 pak rom.

pls help.

Thanks alot.
[Galaxy S III General] isholay:
Yeah, you can provided it's an official Paki rom. NB your CSC will change to Pakis and you won't be able to update it via OTA if you come back to UK and you'll be fine if you stay there.

I was upset from using 4.4.2 custom rom thts y i want to go back. I downloaded 4.1.2 the latest official available rom in pak from sam mobiles and follow their procedure to instal this via odin. My mobile was from UK but unlocked to pak and being used in pak so i chooses rom for Pak not of UK. And Thank God i succeeded. I am using 4.1.2 now without any single error with all official features and phone status normal :)

The only problem occurred during installation was that it stuck on Samsung logo, so i switch off by pulling battery and do wipe/factory reset and wipe cache partition and then every thing gone normal :)

[Galaxy S III General] nainaabd:
To be honest i dont know why you are not getting zero.I also had same problem for more then a week untill i changed my rom .

Are you getting counter 1 after reset at triangle away app?after reset can you try open again triangle away and see the counter status.it should be zero if you success.But if you reboot then it will go back to 1 .thats why after reset should directly go to downloadmode and flash stock rom

if you want to get zero and sent for warranty purpose .
