kies 3 problem.

This is a strange one, after getting the OTA update to MK6. kies is telling me that my firmware version cannot be updated via kie. And this was the update Samsung push to my phone and not the zip file.

.
[Galaxy S III General] maqikpl:
Its looks like that cuz kies firmwares server dont know anything about that OTA update yet i think ;)

And he telling u well, he cant update ur device more... yet :)
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
**** this!

This firmware completely ****ed up both of my headphones!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!

I mean,I was listening to music and immediately sound in left one turned off. I thought it's my headphones.

Today,I was with my ORIGINAL,stock headphones which came with my phone and the same happened!!!! THEY ARE ****ED UP NOW!! MY BEST,ORIGINAL HEADPHONES ARE JUST READY TO BE THROWN IN TRASH!! And again,I can hear sound only in right one!!! IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF FIRMWARE!! I tested it,I went to accessibility options,sound balance and sliding to RIGHT doesn't add sound,because the WHOLE sound went to RIGHT one and left is now muted and that can't be fixed!!! I can hear LOUD sound only in RIGHT one in every phone/tablet/computer no matter where!!!

I'm going back to MJ9 as this is completely sh*t experience and I'm not quite happy with my phone now,I'm like I'm close to throw my PHONE to trash!! ANd know why? Because my original charger from samsung is also f*cked up,it doesn't charge!!

My phone isn't even half year,and this sucks. Is it my luck?!
[Galaxy S III General] maqikpl:
What rom did u use and from u've take it?
[Galaxy S III General] Pokerboy11:
I agree with you this firmware is ****. When you enable multiple widgets and open 7-8 apps lock screen lag. Especially if you open your Google Chrome and searh site than the lock and unlock then the phone lag. I enable multiple widgets and only enable music player in my lock screen. If the normal lock screen i think when mutliple wdigets of then is lag almost gone but its laging..When you open many applications including chrome.. when my screen off after a couple of song its stop for 1 second and move on. This firmware its **** only fixed batery ;)
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Meh,even battery was same for me. Just moved back to MJ9. But really,already no sense.. My original headphones are crap now. All of my bought ones are crap too,and original ones were the best for me always. Now I'm left without good headphones. Duh.
[Galaxy S III General] dkionline:
MJ9? I think yes.

[Galaxy S III General] maqikpl:
Mb u flashed firmware from topics on this forum? I have original rom from OTA update couple of days and dont have any lags, wake up lags, battery drain and other issues. Ram used always around 500.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
I got the MK6 update from OTA.

MJ9 was all the way better for me,and I moved back to it just now.

But I'm thinking of installing temasek's kit kat. My phone isn't that good now: original charger is f*cked up completely,same with original headphones. Screen is A LITTLE broken. It's not even noticeable,but still makes me unhappy. 1 year contract will last long,but I think I will still root my phone,as no hopes left for ANYTHING.

EDIT: My phone was snappy. Smooth,fast,battery was good. MK6 didn't change anything. I have even got stuttering of music when phone was locked already two times with MK6. Nothing was fixed.
[Galaxy S III General] babujnik:
Hi all.

I have MK6 for few day's and im countering problem with root. after cf-autoroot my device status isn't official but turned into custom.

is this behavior normal ? when i was on 4.1.2 i didn't have that kind of problem, with triangle away i was able to have "official" status, but right now i don't know what to do.

thx for replies.
[Galaxy S III General] jasweb:
My goodness. People are complaining. I am happy on MK6.

My experience: I Odin(ed) 4.3 UK (MJ9) on top of 4.1.2 stock (Vodacom) and it was bad. Then changed CSC to BTU via CSC changer (was on KOR and could not get OTA: had to root, it also wiped everything, and then full unroot via Chainfire SU after CSC was changed).

The I just restored Samsung backup and installed apps from Playstore. No fancy Kernels, etc and I am happy with the phone. It is about 18 months old (got it 5 June 2012).

MK6 is fine for me (but really sorry if it is not working for you)..

CP : I9300BUUGMJ3 can I updatei using v1ks zip file using stock recovery
[Galaxy S III General] Rhythmeister:
It's all rather bonkers from what I've read since developing an interest, I've no official training in tech' matters; the sticky's I can follow but there's so MANY abbreviations that I have to Google constantly and it's hard with a partner and pair of cats to get a minute to learn about firmwares :(

I WAS considering rooting but I'm eager to see if there's much improvement from official 4.1.2 to official 4.3. What's the hold up from Samsung in the UK seeing as Ireland have it already?!
[Galaxy S III General] danierakes:
Very true...mk6 also fine to me better than mj9...I guess those who complaining have a bad chip
[Galaxy S III General] maqikpl:
As for me is huge difference between 4.1 and 4.3

When mk6 comes out and i got it, i stoped flash roms on my device totaly :)

Now i am pure stocked, dont have any issues with anything and i am so proud of my sgs now :D

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Change ur CSC to BTU if u dont have it and update it by OTA, u will miss any issues with device than with flashing handmade flashable files

Using Omega V46.1 (4.2.2.) and i have the best autonomy, photos and scores on Antutu....

Not impressed by 4.3...and it seems Sam is forgotting this model bewand....
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
That's not really a fair comparison. A custom ROM lets you set up your phone exactly how you want it. Stock ROMS, no matter the maker, have to be able to please everyone, which means they end up sacrificing some things.

I"m just waiting to see what custom ROMS come from the new sammy one. I'm happy with ArchiDroid 1.7.2 at the moment.
[Galaxy S III General] gxg10:
WTF SAMSUNG ? You a have other countries to update beside UK . GO ahead with the update so that others get 4.3 !! It s December ! Android updates are ****t. I hate apple but at least they update all their recent phones at once.
[Galaxy S III General] maqikpl:
Thats happen cuz of brand. Ur warranty want from u branded software from operator. Operators need time to modify unbranded soft and they will not start update in the same time. Unbranded phones from markets and shops can have other needs and sometime dont want put update exacly now. U have to accept it or change ur region... by change country or csc in ur phone
[Galaxy S III General] Pastrana007:
I have a bad chip and it's working great for me.
[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
I've been happy with it since I got it. I had the original vdi mj9 from faryaab's thread, and when I went to change csc btu wasn't an option. I changed it to vdi and got the ota update, granted mine was only 19.6mb. Lockscreen lag is mostly gone, though it does reappear once in a while. One of the things I've noticed has to do with bluetooth. I have a tasker profile that activates when I get in my car and bluetooth connects, but about 25% of the time it wouldn't activate on mj9 even though the bluetooth connected. Now it has no issues.

Battery I won't talk about yet, but I think it'll be ok. I haven't done any freezing or greenifying yet as I like to see what it's like stable and stock first, then I try all that stuff. And I like a few days of cycles first to really tell; I leave it 5 or 6 hours overnight and see the drain, and a few days down it seems to get even better.

I won't be trying any of the custom kernels yet - I'd like to see one built off of the kernel that comes with this.

[Galaxy S III General] firedeimos:
Even with 4.3 in the S4, we can't expect that the S3 will get an identical 4.3 release (with camera and the other goodies). Let's face it the S4 at least in my country it's not seeling like the S3 did and still does, i red reports of similar market movements from around the globe, so if the new pride and joy of Samsung the S4 it's not bringing home the bacon they will not take the S3 and make a similar software release as the S4, rendering the S4 almost "useless" and a money hog...

In short if you are waiting for the S4 features in the S3 you better pray that someone can port it for the S3.

I'm 100% with you on that. I had cm, asop, and miui. Nothing compares to touchwiz in my opinion. I'm hoping I can get a decent touchwiz ROM on my s3 with the nodding scrolling feauture. My girlfriend has the s4 and i can sit there nodding my head all day. Haha and I like the easy WiFi direct and all the other features exclusive to touchwiz.

ok, replying to my self, I just flashed previously the CF-root.6.4, then I entered recovery and flashed the 1.80 SuperSu...

Now I've got root...

But now, I want to get rid of the recovery... the cf-root6.4 has two files, the recovery and cache img.

Is it ok for me, to flash with mobile odin those two sectors with the btu big rom file ?!? Will I get back recovery (and cache) ??

Thank you so much! But I have some questions.

1. Is the chinese MK2 FW needed for this or it will work on BTU also? (as I know it will,but still wanna be sure in that)

2. If I will update to MK6,will it overwrite the Mk2 ? I mean,can I be on both?
[Galaxy S III General] Naveed Abbas:
I am using it on MJ9 BTU from last one month and it's working fine....

Now from last 5 days i m on MJ9 BTU with latest MK6 BTU kernel....

Edit: you can't flash MK2 FW on international GS3 I9300...
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Thanks.

So how is it? Is MK6 better than MK2?

Thanks again,you're really helping me out.
[Galaxy S III General] Naveed Abbas:
Yes MK6 is lot better than MK2,

MK6 gives me 48 hours battery life with 5 hours screen on time...

Daamn,that firmware destroyed my headphones. BOTH. I really don't wanna install it,but if it's better,I think I will still install it again.. Really don't wanna **** up my phone's battery,want to keep it smooth and finally make a permanent decision!

[Galaxy S III General] danierakes:
Dude u better stay on 4.0.4..cuz only u have all the problem with mk6...
[Galaxy S III General] dkionline:
Please not flash CF-Root, its too old.

Flash cwm and then root with CF-Autoroot 1.80. After that you can use mobile odin to flash the firmware again and you won't lost root.

Smart stay doesn't work on mk6. It is always on, with 4.1.2 it wasn't always on and worked.
[Galaxy S III General] gieffe22:
when ONLY you have this problem,then is not a problem of the rom/kernel...probably something is corrupted on your phone (wipe data?wipe cache?)...probably you would have the same problem with any other rom...

...try the classic way,format all with a good wipe data and cache and should have resolved...RIP for your headphones
[Galaxy S III General] ciprigeorgiu:
for me smartstay works flawlessly unlike how it worked on 4.1.2 where it wasn't too precise.

Edit: sorry, I only have MK6 kernel and modem, the rom is MJ9.
[Galaxy S III General] TheJuanPa:
I am using the MK6 for 4 days now and I can say that the bugs that I, myself, have experienced with MJ9 are nonexistent. Battery drain is close to the 4.2.2 leak, wakeup lag is gone, and there is better RAM management(again, this is based on my own usage). No changes in the fluidity of the UI, as it was already smooth in MJ9. :highfive:
[Galaxy S III General] VTurner:
yes please. i tried to downgrade to 4.1.2 but then lost imei. did stock uograde to 4.3 but have serious lag and battery drain
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
I did wipe my phone at first place.

Btw,my headphones were connected the whole day,and that's the case I think. In older firmwares,it was ok,but after installing MK6,both of headphones,while connected to phone whole day have got f*cked up! That's the reason I'm for now only ONE who got this problem. I don't know,maybe someone can take some old headphones and try that himself,I'm sure that will happen. Not fully,though.
[Galaxy S III General] kta:
Is the MK6 kernel available anywhere as a download? I searched the entire thread but cannot locate one.
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
What exactly did it do to your headphones?
[Galaxy S III General] Blenky:
Works fine for me. I'm on stock 4.3 had the OTA update.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
It muted the sound on left earpiece and made it fully go to right one,that made it too loud in it,that's how I understood that,and I was not able to fix that with phone's sound balance settings. It made it permanent.

But that happened with cheap headphones first,and I thought it's all about the headphones them self. Next day I was with my stock/original ones and the same happened. So f*cking sad.

1. MK6 dont have any bugs if u install official MJ9 and update by OTA. I see some ppl have problems with MK6 but i think they flashed it by odin with handmade files from other users. Do it by OTA only imo. I have it week and have 0 problems.

All of my album art vanished from the stock music player (to be replaced by default icons) when I "upgraded" to 4.3.

None of the usual tricks and techniques to re-index media restored it.

[Galaxy S III General] Lammy696:
Is there no completely stock, non **** version of 4.3 (MK6) that is flashable through Odin or a .zip unpack? I've had a good read through but I seem a bit confused by what ROM's and other solitions have been posted. Seems a bit long winded.

I already updated to the **** MK9 on first day release (have the international i9300 and I live in the UK) and it took me two weeks to find a German build that supported the updated ESF folder. Attached is how I'm running right now (I am rooted also), I just want to know if there's a much simpler option, ie a straight up normal Odin flash, available to me?

Just seems by what I've read that I have to go the the **** MJ9 ROM to be able to apply the update and I may have to fiddle with a bunch of stuff to be able to get the MK6. Can I not just go straight to the MK6 from the 4.1.2 build I'm on now via Odin, and if so could somebody please post the link for it?

Thanks in advance guys
