[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Decided to switch from custom recovery method to using mobile Odin for flashing, so the bootloader flash counter can be reset - kernel is also stock.

I can find threads for modems, bootloaders and kernels but the only links to stock recovery I could find was sticky threads and over a year old, so not SDS safe.

Does anyone have a recent .zip CWM flashable version please? I'm keeping the custom ROM I've already got, so don't really want to flash fully stock just to get the recovery.

Thanks.

Also, reading through those stickies some of the advice and files they link to are well out of date - noobs could end up flashing ICS if they follow some of them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There's a safe stock recovery in the cf auto root tar. Maybe that'll flash via mobile odin?

Or take an existing recovery cwm.zip (example philz recovery) and put the recovery image from cf auto root or any official rom in it instead
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Thanks, didn't think of that - it flashed in mobile odin and installed recovery perfectly, but removed root. Had to flash again on the pc to regain root, triangled away and updated the bootloader and I'm now at peace with my warranty information.

System is still modified, as it's rooted but I can live with that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah I have modified status only. Since I have an ICS bootloader (I don't use download mode) I don't have flash counter increased.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] LamerDeluxe:
I was testing the quality of the camera after the QTek 106 ROM upgrade and noticed using the BMP format at XL size gave edges in images really bad jaggies.

Scaling by 50% gave a good image and looking closely at the image I suspected an interlacing fault. Turns out the odd and even scanlines have been swapped. A stupid mistake and one that HTC can very easily fix.

In the meantime I've made and attached a Photoshop action that will fix these jaggy images. JPG images don't have this problem, only BMP ones.

Original image:

Fixed image:

(in this case both images were rotated 90 degrees from landscape to portrait after fixing)

I hope this fix will work for others, let me know if it does.

BTW: The upgrade makes the video recording of the camera work absolutely great, no more split images.

I'm not sure attachments are working, here's a download link: click

can somebody please extract the cam soft from 1.06 rom?

thanks in advance
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] boota:
i need it,too .Thanks :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] URAN:
Hm... :? do not understand how to upgrade with downloaded file from this post? :?:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] LamerDeluxe:
The attached file is not an update for your phone, it's an action for photoshop. You copy it to your Photoshop directory in "\presets\photoshop actions\".

Then in Photoshop select the menu item Window->actions (or alt-F9) and in the actions list you should see the "fix MDA Compact BMP" item.

After loading a BMP image from the camera you can select that action item, then press the 'play' button at the bottom of the actions window to activate the action.

This will fix the BMP image for you, after which you can save it.

There's no fix for this bug on the phone itself, that's why I made this Photoshop action to fix BMP images until such a firmware update is released.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ddrddr:
thnx for the fix!

but why would you want to save as bmp anyways? does it yield better quality or retain more details? i think most ppl just save as jpg; they're probably pictures not worth quality anyways if they decided to take it on this phone
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] URAN:
Thank you very much for your comments:) It really works!

Hey, do you now why .BMP photo doubles .JPG weight? Which one to prefer for best pic quality?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] LamerDeluxe:
BMP is an uncompressed format, JPG has lossy compression, which means you lose image quality. Some noise and unsharpness is added.

Try taking the same picture in JPG and BMP format and compare them, the BMP image has noticable better quality.

Also, if you plan on editing an image, BMP is better. Otherwise you use JPG, edit and save in JPG again and get twice the quality loss.

With the bad quality of the camera any improvement in sharpness and noise is welcome :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] URAN:
Yeah!:idea:

I`ve made some pics with my cam in JPG and BMP and now I can see difference between this two formats:)

Speaking the truth, I never had an intention to use BMP before...

You right - BMP is much more better.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] LamerDeluxe:
Good to hear that you like the results. :)

When I have enough space on my memory card and want the best image quality I always use the BMP format. Drawback is that it's a bit slower to process on the phone.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] bnycastro:
hi I tried your photoshop fix but I got the ff errors.

warning no pixels selected

the command move is not currently available

warning no pixels selected

Could not fill because no pattern has been defined.

I think mine got stuck in the middle of your set of actions...

I am left with four hidden layers (in this order)

I am using Windows XP SP2 and Adobe Photoshop 7
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] LamerDeluxe:
That is strange. I'm using Photoshop 8 and Windows XP SP2.

Sounds like the creation of the pattern went wrong, if it turned out all black.

I'll have a look at the script to see where the problem could be.

The black 32gb version seems to be out of stock pretty much everywhere, online and in store (apparently it's on constrainment, so they don't know when it will even make it there)..

Hello everybody.

Sorry in advance, I suppose that this question should be a sort of XDA trending topic during these days. However after a little search, I didn't find anything similar on the matter. Hence I'm opening a new thread. Feel free to close it if necessary :)

I suppose that somebody is already working on a "Google Edition" of i9300. A vanilla AOSP. Would it be so different from a classic CyanogenMod or AOKP?

Thank you for your answers.

Peace.

Posted by the Q master, woopiedoooooo
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
No it is not possible to directly port it as the Google Ed. phone runs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600. The i9300's sorry excuse of an SoC is Exynos 4.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
What's so bad with Exynos? When this device came out it was a beast compared any other on the market. So far we have a well established base of development and mods.

There is nothing wrong with Our SOC other than its now older than the newer devices.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Nothing wrong? No sources and no documentation and what's on Insignal is almost entirely useless.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
So for you its useless but my s3 is running like a champ since day one.

And hell, I don't even like AOSP Roms anymore. My opinion OK!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Yes, it's your opinion and you're entitled to one, but you're wrong when you say that there's nothing wrong with Exynos 4. Though I bet no SoC is per definition "perfect".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
Its not bad its Samsung that's being secretive about its sources.

Of course I also though tegra was good until I got this phone.

Not as fast as it could be if the sources for the Exynos based processors were available.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
To answer OPs question technically it is possible but it will require a lot of time and effort ..not to mention a lot of skill as well...the reason being both are quite different phones with different SoCs ..it would be somewhat easier to do it from the AOSP source code but as everyone already knows without documentation from Samsung that is again a difficult prospect ...none of the devs want to invest time in a project which they already know will be a a failure ...this is not about which is better TW or pure Google experience but about having a choice.

[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
1. Install all necessary drivers - that means LG ones, too.

2. Enable developer menu (About phone -> Build number -> Tap until it says you're a developer)

3. Go into developer menu and enable adb debugging.

4. Connect phone to your PC, authenticate PC to ADB

5. Open cmd prompt and start rooting tool from there if you want to see errors/script output.

You need a properly set adb.

If even that one fails, open that bat file as text and follow it, it's not complicated - I've rooted mine that way because I'm using linux so running windows shell files is out of question.
