upgrade GT-I9300 4.1.2 to 4.3

Hi,

I have a question my cell phone is a GT-I9300 Baseband version I9300UBEMH1, Build number JZ054K.I9300UBEMH3, can i download the 4.3 version for Ireland (Vodafone), PDA: I9300XXUGMJ9, CSC: I9300VFGGMJ5, MODEM: I9300BUUGMJ3 and flash with this software my phone ?
[Galaxy S III General] lkirra:
bootloader

The leaked UMEF7.

Here to correct, i guest it improve some lags but still can't play need for speed most wanted on the latest 4.3, such a dissapointment.

I will have to wait for the new baseband to come before flashing.

Reverted to 4.2.2 much stable and smooth..

This may help, just don't use the fw there go for the official update.

Just follow the instruction.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Thanks.

I'll try flashing that bootloader, I don't trust that much in the new MJ9.

Do you have a link for it? Just the bootloader, that is. Flashing the entire firmware doesn't overwrite it and here in the forums is just the MG4 one.
[Galaxy S III General] lkirra:
mobile odin

Flash via mobile odin..you can choose what to flash even with a single .md5 fw file..

---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 AM ----------

I don't have a flash file for the bootloader..

I do it flashing the leaked 4.2.2 via odin then flash 4.3 via mobile odin since mobile odin does not flash bootloader it will remain on UMEF7.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Right. I used normal odin so the bootloader was upgraded.

Well, guess I'll flash an older one.

I agree there are bugs in this ROM, but that doesn't mean that it is not official. Official doesn't always necessarily mean that it will be completely bug free.

If it hadn't been an official one, people in Ireland, Germany or Switzerland would not have been getting the OTAs and Samsung wouldn't have released the sources :)

Can I install on Portugal ?

Hello guys, I need to know If I can install new official 4.3 on my i9300 Portugal.

Which version I need to choose ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] ezekionokia:
I just received the update from Vodafone Romania and to be honest it's pretty awesome.

I don't see any major issues with it and i have a $hit load of apps on it.

The performance improvement is visible, $hit starts faster, works better(especially contacts, facebook, linkedin and skype), the new rendering or fonts used are cool.

So I really can't see any reason for not upgrading. Well unless you're in the professional naysayers league.

And since I really don't want to root&waste 5 days finding a good ROM for my phone, the official one is ok so far.

Almost everybody was *****in' about not having android 4.3 for performance reasons and now that they have it they ***** about UI effects not working. UI effects that almost always are disabled sooner or later in order to placebo-induce-some-sort-of-performance-improvement.

Yep, seems legit&logical.
[Galaxy S III General] nabil2000:
sticking to official 4.2.2 leak-

I wonder why Samsung did not first make the official 4.2.2 leak as an official update... I am using it, and it is very good... that would have given them more time to massage bugs for 4.3...

weird corporate decision they made...

in the mean time I stick to 4.2.2, it does all I need and is snappy...
[Galaxy S III General] tqgia2:
Man there is a lot of whinging on here.

1. This update is official. Please no more conspiracy theories. Remember when we all got our phones for the first time and it was buggy? Well it's the same thing now. For Samsung to try and overlay 4.3 with their own crap wiz we have to expect they won't be perfect right away.

2. If you want to revert, by all means. There are guides and stickies telling you how, you don't need to ask like the person who posted 10 or so posts earlier

3. As a suggestion for those who have the wake lag and want 4.3 and don't care that we don't have all s4 features (most of which we won't use, well I won't anyway), I've done three installs. One with factory reset and data format, one with just factory reset and one dirty flash.

Factory reset is essential. If you don't you will have HUGE screen wake lag. I was looking at 4 to 6 seconds at a time. After a factory reset maybe only a few seconds at most. The data wipe also cleared out any inconsistencies between the 4.1.2 file structure (I believe anyway) and had certainly helped for me. Phone is now very zippy and I hardly have the lag on waking the screen. Maybe one second.

Also a wipe maybe a good idea, everyone eventually has a tonne of apps they don't use, photos/music they don't want eventually. Nice to start fresh

[Galaxy S III General] chrcol:
If this is typical then samsung have pretty bad quality control, internal testing etc.

as the other guy said if anyone I knew had a phone that took several seconds to wake up they would consider it faulty and I imagine if this is whats been rolled out the service centers are about to get very busy.

They have to stick to the time line they promised the customers though, which means that they will probably try to push it out ASAP. This is absolutely critical for their current flagship, and still pretty important for their last one.

[Galaxy S III General] crisagatie:
imho the new lockscreen is ugly and un-functional. no weather, widgets are few and small and you cannot combine two or more on the same screen, only one per page fit. besides that, if you receive e.g. sms there-s no option to read it in one swype, as before, but you have to click multiple times and notifications are just ugly.

Hello everyone.

I saw that in sammobile showed up the new romanian(vodafone) 4.3 firmware. So, the question is, can I flash this firmware with odin over my 4.1.2 spanish stock?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Yes but you may have no network if modem and csc are wrong .
[Galaxy S III General] comnic5:
Yessss!!!! Just flashed the Romanian(Vodafone) I9300XXUGMJ9_I9300VFGGMJ5_I9300BUUGMJ3 over my Spanish I9300XXEMG4_I9300PHEEMG2_I9300XXEMG4 and everything is OK. I have network and all of the stuff is working well. And I don't have any lag on screen wake.
[Galaxy S III General] mrstatler:
Lockscreen lag you can simple eliminate if you have rooted phone. Change Cpu from pegasusq to ondemand.

Jacek SGS3
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
Or flash yank kernel. zzmove is okay for me too.

The thing is, ondemand doesn't have hotplugging so all cores will remain on, affecting your battery life.

Lag fix and power consumption on xxugmj9 - vodafone ireland

Hi,

Since there are still lots of mails regarding lag and high battery use I am sharing my experience.

I am using this ROM from the day it was available. Thats a week now. Originally there was a lag on startup which could be from 1 sec to 4 sec. On some occasions it wouldn't show the screen at all. Also, on sleep, overnight the battery consumption could vary from 2.0 % per hour upwards. I would start with 100% at night and after 6 hours it would be around 87-88%. This was with all apps off during the night.

After flashing Yank kernel both problems have been resolved. There is no lag on startup. The power consumption overnight has reduced to much less that 1% per hour. I started with 70% last night and after 6 hours it is 68%. Seems to go into real deep sleep. I find that some apps still do not work well on 4.3 and lead to high battery use.

Samsung S3 XXUGMJ9 Yank555 V 4.0

Nexus 7(2012) CM 11 Android 4.4
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
Yup, yank kernel improves battery life...

Though I do experience wake up lag rarely (but it may be because of my kernel settings).
[Galaxy S III General] hmbarbosa:
Someone have delays to open gallery?
[Galaxy S III General] ashokabs:
Delay in opening gallery and a possible bug in gallery

Yes, there is a delay in opening the gallery of about 2 secs maximum. Once gallery opens it takes at least 5 secs to reach a state where you can view a file or do any other operation. In the first stage you get to see some of the folders in gallery. First there is the camera folder on the top left corner. The rest of the folder rows are in 3 columns. Once you touch one of the folders it takes about 5 secs (approx) to open with folders in the left most column and pictures in each folder in two columns. First picture/video is spanning two columns. I have attached a screenshot to show the final stage after 6 or more seconds. However, when I went to screenshots to email the screen there was a crash and Hangouts crashed. Second time the gallery crashed. Am going to reboot and check again. Yes, again the gallery crashed while trying to email it or send it through any other app like Whatsapp etc. I have loaded the latest 4.4 Hangout so this could be a reason. Am going to go back to 4.3 Hangout and try again. Gallery crashes and you cannot share or send the photo/video to anyone. This is definitely a bug.

Would someone please try and confirm.

Regards,
[Galaxy S III General] ashokabs:
Reference Gallery delay on opening and crashing - works with Photos so there should be no need of gallery. Looks like gallery might be redundant. Not sure why its still there?
[Galaxy S III General] Alestilohomer:
The post you quoted it's not mine, but I can confirm you that every time you do a downgrade, you must do a factory reset or you will have a bootloop.

If you want to save your data, you need to flash again the new rom, 4.3 in that case, boot up the system and copy all the files you want to backup. And then, do the downgrade with the factory reset.
[Galaxy S III General] Ito010890:
Okay thx. 1 more question, after I flashed the 4.1.2 MG4 and I flash again with 4.1.2 ROM that older than 4.1.2, will the no networks problem appeared again? Since Official ROM from my country is older from MG4

Ah once more, can someone put link description about installing kernel Yank555? thx! :D
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Still no united kingdom btu
[Galaxy S III General] Alestilohomer:
OK, you can flash the rom of your country, but you will need to flash the MG4 modem or newer to have network. But, you can flash directly the MG4 rom (unbranded), you won't have any problem and it may be better.

And related to the yank kernel, go here: http://yank555-lu.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2#p3

You only need to register, download the file and flash it via recovery. It have an Aroma installer that let's you decide the configuration of the kernel, but if you don't know what to do, you can flash it with default options as configured by Yank. :good:
[Galaxy S III General] eRPeeX:
That's 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III General] bogddy87:
Same for my country. But if you already did official 4.3 update, you can not go under MG4 version. It have to be MG4 or newer than that. If it will be older, you will lose your IMEI because versions under MG4 have EFSv1 version wich is not compatible with newer 4.3 leaked. So, if you have flashed 4.3 leaked version already, you will have to flash a 4.1.2 version wich have EFSv2 ( ex. MG4 or newer ).

Hope that can help you

Oh, and same "light unlock effect" bug is still there too (basically you select the light unlock effect from settings, but there is no effect at all in the lockscreen).

Maybe in KitKat 4.4 they'll fix the lag and brake something else.
