[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
What you have done is cooked your bootloader. The mmcblkop5 block is sopposed to have an aboot.img file there. Since you cant access recovery or download you will likely need to attempt ADB. I do not have the best knowledge of ADB, but this is the road you should be looking down. That is if you haven't completely bricked it. Your other option may be jtag.

These following threads will probably be of interest to you. There are reports of this working so you may want to follow their instruction.

I'm not sure what to do for ADB, nor jtag. I don't even know what they are. I looked at the two links you provided, one I tried but it didn't do anything. The other wasn't applicable.

My phone is non-responsive to pressing the power button, it can't access download or recovery mode, which means odin couldn't have recognized it.

Can you expand on ADB or jtag?

TML

This release has been possible thanks to JustArchi's Android Kitchen

Nothing else has been made/changed. No apps removed. No KNOX. This is one-time release. You can use Rom Cleaner for fast debloat. This is the "base" for upcoming ArchiDroid 1.7.5, so if you're looking for something more advanced feel free to try my "monster" ;).

Modem comes in standalone package, rom itself does not change your modem by default.

Previous releases:

XXUGML2

XXUGMK6

XXUGMJ9

This ROM doesn't work with EFS V1, you need EFS V2 (XXEMG4+) modem to use it!

(Unless you're running modified custom kernel)

This is "No Wipe" ROM but I can't assure you that you won't run into problems without wiping. In case of issues - Wipe Data/Factory Reset.

This is a big rom, flashing in recovery can take up to 10 minutes, while first boot may take up to 5.

Download: MEGA | Dev-Host

Standalone XXUGMK6 Modem: MEGA | Dev-Host

Standalone XXUGML4 Kernel: MEGA | Dev-Host

Have fun, hit thanks if I deserve it :highfive:.

[Galaxy S III General] tomashaker4e:
But samsung didint make this custom rom,, hello?? you did, now why would you make it if you didnt knew the changes from the previous version, all i know is, if i'm making something, sure as hell i know what it is...
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Excuse me?
[Galaxy S III General] tomashaker4e:
Please, next time, before editing the latest firmware from samsung, review it, or at least find some of the improvments from the earlier version. Thank you!
[Galaxy S III General] J o c k:
:laugh: ... :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Please, next time decompile and diff the whole package yourself, because honestly I have better things to do than finding out what Samsung changed in their firmware.

Community asked for this release, community gets this release. Sorry, but it's not your business how I'm creating my releases, if you don't like them or the way that I'm releasing them then please find other rom, the one which suit you best.

And before you start a drama it would be cool if you could make a minimal effort and check what's the purpose of this release.

[1.X-EXPERIMENTAL +12 ~310 -0]> git commit -m "XXUGML4"

Because I know exactly what have changed in this release, as I'm merging it. And actually everybody can check my github to get diff data of every updated base, but honestly I won't waste rest of my time on comparing one release to another, only because some guy from xda doesn't like lack of detailed info what has changed in the freaking closed-source sammy's sources!!!.

standalone kernel has init.d support??
[Galaxy S III General] quaker1985:
thaks for this release

currently i am using stock ML2 with MG2 modem.

if i flash this rom after doing super wipe do i need to install modem separately ? and if yes which file i should flash first modem or rom ?
[Galaxy S III General] Klamer.S:
Any one used this ml4 and ml2, and who can tell from experience what is the difference between thie two?
[Galaxy S III General] khaaba:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJ0Noq3
[Galaxy S III General] SavanTorian:
ist it possible to build a ML4 without csc or i only have to delete/change the csc directory and the two files in \system\ ?
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Exactly what you said, two CSC files in /system and csc folder. In addition to that you may be also interested in sipdb folder in /system (as it's the part of cache.img - CSC).

Yup, it has init.d support. It's exactly the same kernel, which is included in this release, and this release has init.d support. Remember that you also need a first part (busybox) to make init.d works, so it obviously won't make magic without busybox on pure stock.

I didn't remove anything, S3 does not contain knox by default.

I have no clue how you're using ML2 with older MG2 modem, but if you want to update your modem simply flash standalone modem after (or before) flashing rom.

Make backup of /efs just in case.
[Galaxy S III General] Widget21:
Just to say thank you to justArchi for his dedication to provide the community with most up to date ROMs both stock and custom. Your hard work is greatly appreciated. And to that knob who was talking through his backside, please have the decency to quit flashing ROMs and concentrate on building up some knowledge about the world of custom ROMs so you appreciate more what rom chefs and devs are doing to contribute to the community alongside the work.and family commitments that they have to fit into their lives.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Archi , can I flash this over your previous ML2 release without wipe ?
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
You won't get answer to that question. Best thing is to make a backup of ML2 and then dirty-flash ML4, if it works without any problems then good for you, otherwise full wipe will be required.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Hmm ,yeah :D

I hope it works , cus it takes an hour ++ to set it up, i disable ****load of apps, install some mods etc :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] malachow:

[Galaxy S III General] babyyeobo14:
based on the information in OP. The Modem is I9300DDUGMK1 but after flashing this new FIRMWARE it still MK6? [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] can u make STANDALONE MODEM of MK1? thanks !!
[Galaxy S III General] white-bird:
Okay thanks. But don't forget to mention the gallery opening lag difference between the two releases. :good:
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
I can't see a reason for uploading older modem. If you really want to use MK1 for India then you can extract it yourself. There's no point in providing all available modems, same goes with sammy's releases, only newest ones.

[Galaxy S III General] diegonnc:
Hi there archi, can you please tell us if this rom is a noticeably improvement (In terms of performance) , compared to the xxuml2?
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Only Samsung call tell you that. I'm blindly following *newest* logic. Personally I think that it's a bit better.

And if you want to know my opinion, ArchiDroid 1.7.5 is a real masterpiece for me. Probably better than any stock ever released but that's my piece of work so I'll always say that.
[Galaxy S III General] diegonnc:
And i am really tempted to try your work.The only real problem for me is the fact that the theme is ugly (in my opinion), and i love stock looks so thats the only thing which holds me back.Thanks for your reply man :victory:
[Galaxy S III General] Radder124:
There is also the ML4 modem http://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJ0Noq3#dir/path=/I9300/XWUGML4/KERNEL AND MODEM.

And I have a question : Are the french and german languages included in your version? Thx
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Come on, you're looking at the screenshots from the very first versions of ArchiDroid, and you didn't even try it, you have very advanced aroma wizard, which gives you a choice to select exactly what you want. Don't judge ArchiDroid before trying it ;).

There's no ML4 modem, ML4 release (PDA) includes MK1 modem. And yes my version has all languages.
[Galaxy S III General] diegonnc:
Okay then , i will give it a try.:p
[Galaxy S III General] martin_carpio17:
Great, thank you JustArchi for give us this kind of stock firmwares, it's pretty helpful :)

Btw talking about this new Samsung release, it's better than the others, the only thing rare was that the deep sleep mode doesn't work for me o.O but I solve it flashing Googy max kernel, everything is great now :p

[Galaxy S III General] royr719:

Yes, MK6 is newer, that's why I see no point in including older modem.

[Galaxy S III General] amit3880:
How to?

I am really sorry if this is really a noob question. but do i need custom recovery installed to flash this ROM?

A little guide to flash this rom would be helpful.

Again sorry if I am being stupid :(
[Galaxy S III General] malachow:
Yep, you need custom recovery.
[Galaxy S III General] kta:
Yes you need custom recovery. Once you have a customer recovery installed (I use CWM recovery), just copy the ROM to your SD card, boot your device in recovery mode and flash it. Depending on which ROM you currently have installed, you may also need to wipe your device (data and cache). A good indication that you need to do a full wipe is if your device gets stuck on the Samsung logo when booting up with the new ROM for the first time.

Hi,

i have 2 questions.

I have been using CM10.2 now for a while. Unfortunately there are a few things that are not working for me. for example my banking app.

I would like to go back to sammy. Is this rom woth it, or would you recommend to go back to the lastest 4.1.2?

Is it safe to flash this rom over CM 10.2? Im scared of peole talking about bricking their phone. I can not loose my phone in this moment.

Thanks.

I would like to know how to complete format my internal SD card to clean install the ROM. Thanks in advance.

Battery life

Hi,

I just wanted to give some feedback on battery life, which is amazing, I think. 82% left after 24 hours, with flight mode between 00:00 and 06:30 AM and 24 minutes screen-on time. I attach the screenshots.

Another thing to notice is that a new item is shown in "About device", "SE for Android status", which reads "Permissive". Must be related to KNOX, which is not installed, by the way.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S III General] malachow:
Mate, it's stock rom, not AOSP/Omni/CM - why it shouldn't support EXT4? :) IMO it already does.
[Galaxy S III General] maxq1:

[Galaxy S III General] Radder124:
Linux's File System is extX (with X from 0 to 4). ExtFS is the windows solution to write into and be read by the linux FS.

If you try to use an ext4 memory card, it will not work. But someone made a tool to enable it. I try to find it for you.

Flashing over neatromfull

Dear All,

Currently I'm on Neatrom full(4.1.2) with I9300XXEMG4 BASEBAND version and Boeffla kernel 4.1(for 4.1.2). Please let me know, if the steps given below is right, if I want to flash this rom:

1. Install with a full wipe.

2. Install Boeffla kernel meant for 4.3

Do I need to flash the XXEMG4 modem again? Also, I have my stock 4.1.2 nandroid backup along with efs backup. If I want to go back to 4.1.2, will I be able to do it by restoring the stock nandroid backup with a full wipe?

Please advice, since I want to make sure to follow the right things before flashing this rom.

Thank you all!!!
[Galaxy S III General] TheoDores:
Yes, install with a full wipe would be a good idea, because you are from android 4.1.2 and XXUGML4 is android 4.3.

And I don't think you need to flash the modem again.

This locked phone is really frustrating
