Baseband/Radio issue w/ i9300 O2 Unlocked Phone on 4.4.4

I've been looking for answers and can't find any for this particular question. Here are my specs:

i9300 from UK O2 Unlocked

4.4.4CM 2014-10-12 Nightly

Kernal 3.0.64-cm-g4ca83ff

bootloader and baseband i9300XXELLA

Current RIL i9300XXLE8

CSC Code is O2I

Product code is GT-i9300MBDO2I

My issue is that my radio isn't wokring with any ROM i've been flashing. I've downloaded GetRIL and it's telling me that the RIL and baseband don't match. I tell the app to install the matching RIL and install. Nothing happens. Looking further into it I see that the baseband is from earlier stock release.

What baseband and radio should I use for 4.4.4? Or what do I need to install to get the radio working again so I can use my Three sim card? Thanks in advanced for your help.

I'm running CM11 Nightly version - 20141220 (20th december)

My problem is that my microphone volume is very low when I am trying to voice note someone through whatsapp, i tried using a voice recorder to record my voice but the volume is still the same.

When I talk with my mouth super-close to the microphone then I can be heard properly but if I talk with my phone against my ear the volume if very low and it sounds like I'm talking from a distance. Does anyone know how to fix this? PS. I'm guessing there will be a nightly update to fix this?

Snapchat video recording problems

Hi,

I have been dabbling with different roms recently, and i first installed cyanogenmod, only to find that snapchat video records for a few seconds then finishes. By searching around I found that the maximum video size target is met much faster with this rom therefore only recording for a second. However, when I flashed archidroid it seemed to work perfectly fine. It turns out I didn't like archidroid so I flashed liquid smooth this morning and I love it. However I get the same snapchat problem as I did in cyanogenmod and it is really annoying me! Has anyone got a solution? Thanks.

S3 I9300XXELLA from 4.2.1 to 4.4.2 or at least 4.3

I'm kinda noob for S3 Development as this is my first time with this phone. I would like to ask on how can I update my GT-I9300 International Version from 4.2.1 to 4.4.2 or 4.3 with just an OTA or Kies?

It keeps saying it's already the "Latest" but I know there is an official 4.3. If it depends on "region", If I fool or mock my location to the regions that have the update, will this work?

I am in the Philippines. Thanks for the help in advance!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawaiihemd:
Hmm, I don't want to put salt in the wound but I think flashing backups that you did not do YOURSELF on YOUR phone is a bad idea in the first place...

Do you have a nandroid backup you did yourself? If yes I would try to flash that. If that does not cut it I hope you have an EFS backup you can use.

You could also try flashing clean 4.1.2 from sammobile and then upgrade to 4.3 (not your friends backup of course).

Use internal DAC but bypass amp with car audio out

(sorry for my eng, words without gram can be strange)

O.K. now I understand.

USB audio on not only I9300 is possible in minimal 2 ways. Digital(for ative devices with DAC) and analog out (passive amps). When samsung releasing S3 audio systems (mostly car audios) with input has analog ones and S3 dock audio been set to analog out.

But this start changing somewhere, some time ago. USB audio devices (external DAC list of supported can be find) is now preffered for dockig phones)

What is really bad for S3 int. Note2 and some other model users, because Wolfson DAC on international S3 is really very good (one of the best smart phones to play music). You must spent many money to get better (130E is lowest by FiiO which use dif. Wolfson DAC). There is really only few who request for analog and don't get answer more than 1 year, all after upgrading rom (somewhere read CM10.2 change thit or something mess). In comparison,requests for USB audio devices is everywhere. Sometimes I have feeling like definition of USB audio out in android changed because most android devices have very poor DAC and external is now more accessible for more people.

find only this what can help(maybe):

"audio_policy.conf"

Someone on some phorum write

but lik dead and no other informations

Also find this post on slimROMs (without answer or don't waste my time with this. It's interesting more and more)

I'm not in programming, can someone help me with this? I don't know maybe all above is a crap . Specialy have problem understand red marked text If I good understand, it can be done by modifiing "device" value under "usb_accessory"(in my phone audio_device_out_usb_accessory) an "usb_device" (here is more,1st audio_device_out_usb_device 2nd audio_device_out_analog_dock_headset 3rd audio_device_out_dgtl_dock_headset) is this strings constant or have some structure with variables, what is better for L/R line out + bypassing internal amp. Many question,

I Want use S3 with headphone amp without dual amping. Got FiiO e11 and difference is unbelievable even with dual amping it's not only more decibels.

Thanks for everyone who help (right words for googling is better than nothing) ;)

also very interesting on gitorious.org, I think it add something like settings to specifi what is connected to dock or detection like mentoied in above (can someone explain what this patch do? or try to do?)

named as i9300: fix dock audio

https://gitorious.org/replicant/device_samsung_i9300/commit/09d3f13837b9e0d6580b121daac1eac1fda01990?diffmode=sidebyside

"old question"

Can be used car dock audio out as analog audio link out and connect directli into headphone amplifier without using internal amp??

By using something like this [DIY] "Car Dock" Cable - USB audio out

Everywhere recommending external DAC because some S3 models have poor Yamaha DAC and finding solutions for usb dig audio out. But I9300 have much better Wolfson WM1811 and very poor amp for high volumes what i like

Thx for answer

How to control android screen from pc via usb cable

Hi guys!

I have a Samsung galaxy s3 GT-I9300 with a broken screen (it doesn't show anything) and I want to control it from my PC to get my contacts, photos, apps, messages etc. How can I do it??????
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Lord_BoNes:
If you're not sure if you're rooted properly, then download the "Root checker" app from the Play Store. It confirms whether you're rooted or not.

As for using Odin, my advice would be to look around and research EXACTLY what you want to do with Odin first... one slip-up and your device is a brick (whether that be a recoverable "soft brick" or a near-on-unrecoverable "hard brick"). Here's what I would do if you're planning on installing a custom ROM:

- Firstly flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP (ClockworkMod or TeamWinRecoveryProject... personally I like TWRP more)

- Make sure that the recovery boots properly, and make a full device backup (make sure it finishes this operation... CWM can sometimes look like it's finished but it's still actually writing the backup files, and this is why I like TWRP more :p)

- Once you have your backup, ensure that it's valid by restoring from it (you can skip this step, but it's wisest to simply make sure)

- Now, that's out of the way you can freely flash your custom ROM. Just be certain beforehand that the ROM in question is definitely for your device (this can really screw things up if it's not, like bricking your phone)

Hope this helps

- BoNes

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

I believe that Samsung Kies can be used to backup the phone's contents (or at least most of it). Kies is just the program that Samsung uses to sync devices... just like iTunes is used to sync an iPhone.

All you should have to do is install Kies (and its device drivers) then plug-in the phone via USB and open up Kies. Once it detects the phone, just use the Backup/Restore tab to backup your data. I'm unsure of whether this backup can be transfered to another device though.

I hope I've answered your question, and it all goes smoothly

- BoNes
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusuf_adsas:
Well I'm glad that you sorted that one out (except for the EFS part)

Good thing that you can use mobile ODIN as I would flash a stock ROM from there.. although flashing vital things such as a stock ROM is not recommended from Mobile ODIN, but if you're unable to enter download mode then you have no choice (I would take my chances given the circumstances)

Hopefully you'll get your EFS folder back with signal and whatnot working after that..if not, might be worth while taking a look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2071052 Post #21

Although it is for those who are in factory mode like I once was, I think it could be someway useful as it is related to restoring EFS partition issues.

Good luck and let us know

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Lord_BoNes:
Thank you for the suggestion. Since posting on here, I've been cruising around the net looking for a solution to get my IMEI and S/N back to proper values. However, I've resorted to simply using it as a "wifi only tablet" for the time being (no sim card, airplane mode, wifi/bluetooth enabled when desired) and that's been working great for me.

The reason for this is simply because I don't have any other devices that even come close to the power this one has... I own an iPhone 3GS (yeah I know, pretty crappy given that we're up to the iPhone 6 now, but at least it can make calls :p) and a Galaxy Tab 3.0 (7 inch). The quad core I've got in this thing simply rocks, and I don't wanna try messing about with flashing any more than I have to (although I did put a new kernel on it and now the CPU runs at 1.6Ghz and the GFX runs at 600-700Mhz :D).

At some point down the track, I'm planning on having a go at it, but if I want to make/recieve calls then the 3GS will do until I get around to it. So you might see me back here some time in the future.

Thank you again.

Here is my problem.

I put / test many roms and now, I want to go back to stock rom because I'm not satisfied with custom rom.

So I follow your topic and I allways have the same problem.

In fact, I had the same problem with Sammy roms.

After flash the stock rom, i follow the android setup without configuring any account... all is ok.

But After that, When I come into the home screen, all is very slow, lag !!

It crashs or the system is hanging.

If I want to unlock the screen, it's impossible because it's freeze.

The only thing that I can do, it's to put the rom Paranoid 4 beta 5.

With that rom, it's very fast and no problem.

can you help me please... to come back in stock and understand?
