Hello I am not sure but I have read much lately. It seem to me that ODIN lite allows to do that (as it allow to flash from the phone)

it is sold a few USF however. on Googleplay.

Regards

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Hello,

A "stupid " question about ODIN.

Is ODIN capable of extracting only a part of a ROM file, for instance only PIT, or only Modem. ?

I also like to know how to obtain a PIT file, (ROM 4.1.2) I suppose there is no real connection between ROM ver and PIT , or is it? (even with EMG4 the partitionning is another subject is not it ?)

Thank you for your time,sorry for the basics !

O.k here for some expert advice.

Have just bought a 2nd sgs3 with some known issues. it's in very good condition cosmetically but was informed it had had a little water damage on bottom 1/3rd of the phone so no touch key home/menu, although i've disconnected the ribbon & used an app as a workaround.

Phone is very fast & functions as normal except for was also informed it doesn't read a sim card & the IMEI number is showing null null so I'm hoping it s purely because of sim issue. I am thinking about replacing the simtray to see if this fixes it. It's also draining the battery quite fast even when switched off but when screen is on it seems to run down a little slower I feel. I've also removed the battery itself overnight to see if it drained on it's own but it hadn't. So i guess i have a few questions.

1. Is it likely that the sim issue with the phone can be solved by me replacing the sim tray & is it likely to return my IMEI number ?

2. If all else fails can i simply purchase another 2nd hand sgs3 who's mobo is in tact & drop it into mines ?

3. What is likely to be causing the battery drain & am i wasting time & money so should really just replace the mobo altogether ?

Thanks for any help folks ? :good:

Hi Guys, i am really having a hard time finding a good KitKat rom, can you suggest me a good stable kitkat rom for GT I9300.

[I know which rom sort of questions are normally not entertained but i am really having a tough time here]

I am currently running RootBox 4.1 - android 4.2.2 + Philz Touch 6.07.9 which has CWM 6.0.4.5 which seems to be working good for now with atleast one reboot occuring randomly in a day.

But as soon as i flash KitKat Roms i get random crashes all the time even as i am setting up my phone for the first time.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zibaibs:
so....I tryed so many ROM for I9300. It depends on your preferences, I can suggest to you the most stables: CM11 monthly version (m6 is the last), Resurrection remix, Carbonrom(this is my favorite until now). But if you prefer stability go on CM11 m6 ;)

hello! N00b question here

Hello everyone,

i have an international version of the s3 i9300

running on carbon rom

version : C-rom-KK-v6.1-20140421

Android version : 4.4.2

I wanted to know if there is any kernel that would let me overclock my s3 running on this rom?

and i also read that there are a few kernels like Devil kernel that would let me overclock my s3 if it was on CM11 rom.

so would i end up in a brick if i flash devil kernel on my s3 running carbon rom?

thanks in advance :D

Hi gurus,

A friend of my mine who doesn't have an idea about android just brought me her samsung galaxy s3 that doesn't boot. I tried to boot on recovery, but all i get are the reboot system, apply update from adb, apply update from external storage, wipe date/factory reset, wipe cache, apply update from cache.I tried to select the factory reset then i rebooted the phone, but unfortunately it didn't work. I tried to boot using down+home+power button, I got a message that custom roms if I pressed volume up it will install custom rom, so I did a pressed the volume up then I got a message that say "downloading, do not turn off device". After serveral minutes of waiting nothing happened.

So the question is

What should I do with my friend's s3?

Are there links that you can share so that I can recover the phone?

I'm from the Philippines using smart at my network provider.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J 3 M:
Mabuhay :D

Attempting to help a friend is good but you're without the correct knowledge to help her without learning some stuff here for yourself, which is also good for you too.

You need to go to sammobile website -> Register & then input the SGS3 model number & look for the latest factory ROM (FIRMWARE) for the Philippines. Be certain to download the correct package.

Download it to your pc & extract the file using winrar/winzip or 7zip & put it to one side.

Then download a PC desktop flashing package called Odin which latest version I believe is 3.09 & can be found here on XDA (make a search)

Once you have both of these files then run Odin on your PC -> click only the PDA button on it & track to the FIRMWARE folder you downloaded -> It should take a few moments to show connected & loaded.

Then put the phone into download mode again like you did before & make sure to connect your phone to a USB port directly on the PC & not through a multi USB or anything. (Do this last)

You should see a light blue box in Odin once you've connected it properly.

Now press start & wait 5-10 minutes for it to flash & load the firmware onto the phone. Make sure if you're on a laptop that it has plenty of battery as you must not interrupt the process.

Let us know how you get on

try SD Maid

This tool helped me clean a lot of junk but before you go on deleting files make sure you read about the files online [in google if they can be safely deleted] that are listed for deletion in SD Maid.

Samsung s3 cm 11 keeps getting into soft reboot.

Hello everyone,

I'm using a rooted Samsung galaxy s3 I9300 with CM 11 one click installer with CWM v6.0.4.6 . I've had CM11 for over a year now and it hasn't really caused my any problem. But lately it keeps rebooting itself. The weird thing is that it only happens when I have my WiFi or data turned on. If I turned those off then it doesn't reboot. It's stucked in a soft reboot loop when I have WiFi or data on or basically any internet connection.

Is there any way to solve this? Or I will just have to re-flash/update the ROM? I'd appreciate any help/advice in the way :)

If possible I would want to back up or basically restore/maintain my phone data and chat logs from WHATSAPP as it contains a lot of my work info.

Thanks.

cannot get wifi to work

i have a gt-i9300 international.

i have tried flashing through odin, the original 4.1.2, and kitkat roms as well as trying cyanogenmod, and paranoid android. i cannot get the wifi to work. at all. it will connect but will not send or recieve data. on all roms, factory reset, reflash, i have mobile data and mobile signal and have backed up efs.

i would like to know what and if all and any partitions and related to the wifi, drivers, anything software if it is possible to reset the wifi.

i have this same issue with 3 other samsung phones particularly two s4's one s4 active, and another shv-e300l the s4's wifi when owkring randomly hangs the phone, while charging, and sometimes in use, the e300l's wifi and bluetooth do not work at all.

where and which partitions are the wifi antennas operated and stored? tried the "advanced power save" thing, doesn't work, tried reflashing roms does not work either, tried twrp on all units does not work either, data,cache wipe, even tried the "wpa_supplicant" delete file does not work either for any of the three units.

i will never but samsung pieces of **** ever again. 3 phones, 3 deads all within less than a year. also all phones, i replace its battery with an original from a samsung store every 6 months, never let the battery fall below 40% before a recharge and never use anything but its original charger.

piece of **** samsung. can anyone help me?

i don`t think so

you have deleted the system that means their is no OS on your phone ,

Phone has been restarted and apps were deleted on their own

Hey guys,

I'm new here and not really good at fixing mobile phones, been trying really hard to find a solution for my galaxy problem and it's frustrating cause no one knows how to fix it so maybe hopefully you know.

I'll try to explain it as clear as possible but please excuse me for my English since it isn't my first language. So here it goes:

After showing repeating error messages: "talkwiz has stopped" (or something like that) for several times my phone has restarted itself (i didn't touch the phone except of pressing the OK button). Since then all my apps including GOOGLE PLAY STORE/PLAY SERVICES etc.. and my songs on the playlists + photos, actually everything except of a few basic apps, have been deleted. When I enter to application manager all my apps that were installed such as whatsaap or skype are shown as a grey app on the list (photo is attached) what does that mean? Why did this happen? How can I fix it without restoring it back to manufacture settings?

P.S this problem has first happened to me a month or two ago, i took it to a "technician" (no technician knew to tell me what the problem was, only said i had to reinstall my phone) and after a few days the problem has got back so i rebooted my phone - was fine for a few days and now i have the same problem again.

Also when i'm trying to redownload any app i can't not even through websites and i can't download GOOGLE PLAY STORE again..

please please help since i really like my phone i have it for three years already and i don't want to buy a new one.

I really appreciate your time!

Lee.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawaiihemd:
See the last "important reading" thread in my signature. There you find all the options on that problem.

I had something similar once. It turned out to be a faulty battery that caused the reboots and every time it sort of wiped all user data in the process. Although apps were still there, all data was lost (e.g. whatsapp still started but did so asking to set up the account, all messages and stuff gone). So maybe thats a hint.

Another idea just from the look of the grey icons... Did you previously transfer data of those apps or the apps themselves to your external sd card? Maybe that is faulty?!

And did I get it right, that you can't install any new app, e.g. one you did not have before downloaded from APKmirror or something? That would be really strange :eek:.

Anyway I would restore a backup or start from scratch.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelilo182:
Hey, thanks for the quick reply.

So do you suggest i should try to replace my battery? Get a new one?

About your question, no i didn't transfer any data i'm not even sure i know how to do it. Nor did i download any unknown app or something. But i'd like to make sure maybe somehow i did transfer the apps to my external sd card, just in case, how can i check it and if it is the problem how do i transfer them back to where the apps were belong at first?

And yes you did get it right. Basically Google Play Store and Services were deleted with the other apps and i can't download any new app nor the Google play store. I was trying to download Google play from a website i don't remember the name, so now i do have the icon of it on my phone but when i'm trying to use it it tells me no connection (but my internet and WIfi work fine) and if i try to download any app through the google play website it says "This browser is no longer supported. Please use the Google Play Store App to access Google Play" ( photo is attached)

It's frustrating -.-

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawaiihemd:
Sorry not much time today...

First try to install e.g. PlayStore from here or some other app. If that does not work there's something really wrong IMO.

I'd try to find someone who can give you a battery to test for a day or so, maybe at school/work whatever, before buying a new one, but I would definitely check it.

As I said I would then start from scratch without an external card inserted and see if that works. That way it is absolutely SURE you (or an app) can not move any data/app to it willingly or by accident...

Granted you would lose your data, but from an analytical standpoint I think you have to go to a point were it should work (fresh stock install) and see IF it works at all. If it does NOT you have a more serious problem at hand.

Ah, one more thing... That you can't get to the PlaySTore via your browser is normal. That has been implemented because older browsers had a security issue.

Serious Wifi Connectivity Problem (Please help I'm dying)

so i have this problem for about 3 months now,

so I'll explain the problem I am facing,

I'm connected to wifi unless I'm an inch close to the router, so if I go away, the connection will be disconnected, however, in my work, I am connected to an access point which has put a big smile to my face, but apparently when I went back home, I faced the problem again, and I guess I would be connected to that only access point, which is the first time I've seen since i got this problem, all the routers/modems I tried to connect was a failure(saved, secured) since my phone met this access point.

I already tried Factory Reset, Flashing custom modem, *#0011#, changing settings on router and many many more as I've put an hour of fixing this every single day. none of this works.

I have my iPad and my laptop connected and there's no issue with them, only on this phone.

I'm running 4.3 btw,

does anyone know how to fix this problem? my brain hurts a lot and I don't know what to do. please help I'm dying, thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawaiihemd:
Only thing I can say from experience is that it could be a problem with the channel/band your router uses to spread its signal. I had it once that my i9000 on lollipop just did not want to send data over the wifi connection. It said "connected" but did not work actually. Turned out it worked just fine after I switched from channel 12 on 2.4GHz band to channel 1. Don't ask me how or why, it just did. So maybe you can try that if you haven't already.

Otherwise I read a few times in other threads to delete the "wifi" folder under "device/data/misc" and then reboot the device to fix wifi tethering problems. Maybe that's worth a shot too.

OK, first things first. There is no such thing as a "reboot system" which works from extSD card or your pc. Educate yourself in the first thread in my signature. In there you will find all you need to know to get things right. Pay close attention to the "Odin flashing guide" thread linked in there.

Once you know the basics, you can flash stock rom via odin. That should get your phone back in working order in factory condition. That's what I would do. You have already deleted your user data anyway.
