Could you tell us how to build ODIN update files? have tried it but always stuck on system.
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
It's simply - take system folder, fix permissions, fix owners, fix selinux context (if needs) and build via make_ext4fs...
[Galaxy S III General] felix297:
thank you very much. trying it out ;)

Odex? the deodexed 4.3 firmwares hate me.
[Galaxy S III General] francescozanghetta:
Many thanks. What do you mean with "bootloader- non downgrade"?:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] marcusdevan:
Anyone have tryd this?
[Galaxy S III General] cocous:
It have the new bootloader MK6 and no MJ9. With this bootloader you don't have triangle, but the counter works like the older bootloaders without triangle warning.

With custom kernel you dont have triangle at boot but the counter is 1.

[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
Of course odex, it'sreally clear stock firmware - without root and any different modifications...
[Galaxy S III General] tsimitsangaz:
job done without patches and individual files pure things as it supposed to be not like other users that made this..
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
it's a question?
[Galaxy S III General] tsimitsangaz:
No .. Its a reward answer from me . because some other users made this update like rubik's cube with csc changer,stock recovery (etc) and you just nailed it.:good:

[Galaxy S III General] homer000:
Hello,

you said "Available included CSC: BTU, KOR, XEO, CPW, DBT, ITV, XEF".

How do I install teh DBT Version?

THX,

Homer ;)
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
If you already has dbt csc, it will be stay the same...

If no, need to get root and use csc select app from play store...
[Galaxy S III General] GreatVortex:
You flash the rom, root it then download samsung csc changer made by manniakk from the playstore and change csc. I think that if you already have dbt it will remain dbt after the flash.
[Galaxy S III General] homer000:
THX guys!

I already have DBT.

If it won´t stay DBT after flash, I´ll try the trick of GreatVortex
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
Stay DBT you can not doubt :)
[Galaxy S III General] francescozanghetta:
I though he meant we can not downgrade the bootloader after installing MK6.
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
Yes, bootloader - on flashing older bootloader, Odin will be to give FAIL on sboot.bin
[Galaxy S III General] dkionline:
With CWM it works, Odin fails with false files. they're some random packages here on xda.
[Galaxy S III General] alpinista82:
Can the flash counter be reset with triangle away? I am moving to another continent and would like to leave my mom with a phone that can be returned to customer service.
[Galaxy S III General] francescozanghetta:
Many thanks for answer.

So if I understood right , after installing MK6 I can downgrade the bootloader via CWM but not via odin.

;))
[Galaxy S III General] Batagoi:
This rom can be installed trough the stock recovery?
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
No, only Odin or Mobile Odin..
[Galaxy S III General] dkionline:
Yes, right.

[tapatalk]dki[/tapatalk]
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
are you sure? you test it?
[Galaxy S III General] gimmick56:
Hi all,

you can do not downgrade if you have the new bootloader

Not with Odin, mobile Odin or flash through recovery. There is no way at time.

All this is known for the Note 3, S4 and at last for the Note 2 - 4.3 - update

you always can serach in XDA for the new bootloader

many regards
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
Yes, it's absolutely true, just not upgrade but downgrade..
[Galaxy S III General] gimmick56:
sorry mate,

I have corrected it, sometimes i wrote a bit to hurry
[Galaxy S III General] dkionline:
How you test it?

I seen no param.bin inside, so cant see changes.

If we cant downgrade, there would be knox inside.

You think you where a developer, because you upped a dump, lol.

I have now suscesfully upgraded to MK6 Bootloader and downgraded again to LFB Bootloader, i see no problem guys.
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
Very simply..

look version your bootloader into terminal

$ getprop ro.bootloader

Try downgrade bootloader via cwm or terminal:

su

dd if=/sdcard/sboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

reboot fota_bl

and look again

getprop ro.bootloader

if was changed, exact downgraded
[Galaxy S III General] vicfirth_23:
hi everyone, is this the final update for mk6? hows the performance?
[Galaxy S III General] ThE ROckStar:
even samsung can't say that :P
[Galaxy S III General] dkionline:
Flash in CWM

FLB Bootloader

All is good here, better check right before post some lies. We haven't got knox, only selinux, but that is no problem. No blockings or something like that.

Ciao

edit: [MENTION=911832]Gimmick[/MENTION], better read than post.

[tapatalk]dki[/tapatalk]
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
We are hasn't selinux too..

Ok, if you tried downgrade bootloader, and was lucky, I'm remove it's massage from first post..

Im flashed without bootloader, but looked sboot.bin in hex, it has bootsecure, so I thinked that downgradable...
[Galaxy S III General] dkionline:
The secure is the red mark while booting.

SeLinux is as standard not activated in build.prop. but have some folders and files in system, not visible.

The last bootloader changes done in MG4, but currently not.

[Galaxy S III General] adamsuail:
?

Is there any screen unlock lag or battery drain? or any other new issues?
[Galaxy S III General] cocous:
From the bootloader i believe that every new version of something can be corrected.

Personally i flash the new bootloader and if i see something strange i downgrade it with cwm file

The good is with the new bootloader i stop to see the red mark with custom kernels.

hahahah

yes you can install via odin and you will be fine without any issues but you must make a nandroid backup first and install the GT-I9300XXUGMK6_BTU because you will have smoother and better battery life experience than Ireland firmware.

Will I have possible issues after flashing this rom and going back to custom?

Hi There

I'm a kind of a noob so please assist if you can. I have a GT I9300 running cm10.2 stable. I would like to try out the stock rom but will most likely go to a custom rom some other time in the future. My question: what impact will this have if I were to flash some other custom rom after this like maybe the EFS (Modem) or the Bootloader or rooting and stuff? I'm not a huge fan of TouchWiz but I miss some specific features and maybe just maybe because this is supposed to be a better, faster and more stable version of TouchWiz I will stay on it a bit longer this time.

Also just some additional help with Triangle Away. I have used it but my clock/counter still shows 1 and there is a red exclamation mark on the top left of my bootup screen. My question is: should I flash first and then use triangle away again or triangle first and then flash?

Thx

Hello.

I flashed this rom on my unbranded unlocked portuguese TPH S3.

Everything seems to work fine however when i connect to kies it tells me it does not suport fw updates on my device. Is this normal?

After flashing i used cfautoroot and then changed csc to BTU, reseted counter and unrooted. Device now shows as official and when i try to update ota it tells me no new fw updates are availale for my device.

Will i get ota updates to this fw?

I have just signed to ask one question

I have downloaded 4.3 firmware from this thread MK6 and now my question is can i flash this on stock aka official samsung 4.1.2 (MG4) and after i flash this will i void my warranty and will i need to use triangle away after i flash this?? im not interested in rooting just want to flash this new 4.3 firmware and not lose my warranty.

many thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
Yep. Sammy too finds that mk6 stable mj9 otherwise would not make a patch... :D
[Galaxy S III General] A.S._id:
This is a really stock firmware, and after flashing you are not needs to use triangle away, and you warranty will be safe...
[Galaxy S III General] Scorpionea:
Thanks for your quick answer!! :)

will flash right now and report back a bit later
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
This.

Using MK6 now. Lags pretty much,nothing like that with MJ9.

I said that mj9 at least to me was more stable than the new mk6.

Exactly. I had mj9 temporarily and then accepted the ota update. My problems started after that ota. Phone is laggyyyy.
[Galaxy S III General] robyasroma:
So make sure before you start the flash with odin you have inserted a micro sd card in the phone. You can also try to take off the micro sim before running the flesh!

Hi guys, again in the forum, I don't know if I'm lucky or you guys always have an answer to everybody. I have my i9300 and I gonna flash the MK6_BTU, now there are a couple of thing that I want to know:

1- This update came with KNOX ? (maybe you already say no, but I read all the thread and I can't find it)

2- Any one had root this version ? (OK I admit that some say there no should be problems, but anyone did it? How?)

I'm using mj9 and there is a couple of things that I don't like, like I don't have the shortcut icons in the block page.

thanks again and sorry for my english

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomy_Delmar:
Hello

I have the problem that I cannot update my i9000 from CyanogenMod 10.1.3 to 10.2.0. After the update, Cyanogenmod doesn’t start anymore. It gets stuck at the boot animation: The blue CyanogenMod-mascot within the round rotating arrow. I waited 15min for it to start, then I left the phone for 2h and it still didn’t start.

I did the update as follows:

First, I tried to update with the automatic updater from CyanogenMod, but that didn’t work. It aborted and restarted CyanogenMod 10.1.3.

So I tried it manually with ClockworkMod (v6.0.3.6):

- wipe data / factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

This message was shown: E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

Dalvik cache wiped.

- install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-RC1-galaxysmtd.zip

It aborted and the following message was shown:

This ROM uses an incompatible partition layout

Your /data will be wiped upon installation

Run this update.zip again to confirm install

- Did it again: install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-RC1-galaxysmtd.zip

Now the zip-file was installed completely.

- reboot system now

The result was that the phone got stuck at the boot animation.

Remarks:

- I didn’t do a backup of apps and data, because I didn’t have important data on the phone.

- I didn’t have root-rights in CM 10.1.3.

I tried it again with the stable version of CM 10.2.0. I didn’t have to install the zip twice anymore, but the phone still gets stuck at the boot animation. Wiping cache and dalvik cache again didn’t make it start.

I can still boot into ClockworkMod and it was also possible to go back to CM 10.1.3. Just CM 10.2 doesn’t start up.

What do I have to do to make CM 10.2 start up?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards

Tomy

[MENTION=5601059]Tomy_Delmar[/MENTION]

Tomy, CyanogenMod is already custom ROM, there is always root access on it ;)

Try it this way:

download Gapps for CM10.2x (Android 4.3.x) and paste them on your external SD card

put the card in your phone

run it in recovery mode

wipe cache and dalvik cache

flash Gapps for 4.3

wipe again cache and dalvik cache.

reboot

Post if it worked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohitdahiya:
As the partition layout is different in cm10.2, you should flash it at least 2 times and wait for system to be stable for about 15-20 minutes
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomy_Delmar:
Tetakpatak and Rohitdahiya, thanks for the reply and advice!

In my previous post, I forgot to mention that I installed CyanogenMod without the Gapps. I’d like to try if an android-phone without the Gapps is still useful. Somehow I don’t like the data-collecting-mania of Google.

I tried again the update from CM 10.1.3 to 10.2:

- I downloaded cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip again and copied it to the internal SD-card of the phone.

- Restarted the phone into ClockworkMod recovery.

- wipe data / factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- wipe dalvik cache

- install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip

- install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip

(Did it twice. Don’t know if necessary.)

Didn’t install Gapps.

- wipe cache partition

- wipe dalvik cache

- reboot system now

Unfortunately CM still gets stuck at the boot animation. The arrow has been rotating for over an hour now. :(

To my knowledge the Gapps are not mandatorily required to install CM. I could install CM 10.1.3 without the Gapps without any problems.

Could a full-wipe solve my problem?

ClockworkMod -> mounts and storage -> format /system …?

I have never done this before.

Or is there something else I can do?

Regards

Tomy
