[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
Good morning :)

Dont worry about knox :)

There no knox for S3 now matter what variant :)

Now secondly.

U can flash everything from i9300 on your i9300t however its advisable that when u flash roms that u maintain or re-flash afterwards the appropriate modem :)

As the only difference between models is the band frequency ;)

To root it ... For myself the easyest way is ...

Grab philz recovery

Flash it with Odin

Afterward boot into recovery

Go to advanced and choose re-root system

Then just boot the ROM go to market and download supersu you're good to go :)

About backup efs there's a loooooot of apps to do so u just need the pick the one who's flavour suit u best ;)

Take care :)

If u have doubts just pm me ;)

Thanks for the reply!

I just rooted my phone using Cf auto root. I forgot the warranty was expired so why not :D It ended up working, now running CyanogenMod 11 nightly :) About the modem, the reception seems the same. The signal i got before I rooted wasn't that great, haha. But i'll probably flash the modem anyway, just in case. I found a thread with most of the modems for the s3 here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-galaxy-s3-modem-radio-collection-t1740061

All the modems are for jellybean, however the ROM i'm on ( CyanogenMod 11 ) is on kitkat. Can i flash any of those modems? For the T model, they say there's no regional or carrier specific one, even though i checked my modem on sammobile and it's not listed in the thread. The latest one is for 4.1.2, i'm on 4.4.2. Should i flash it? Also, can you flash it in CWM, or does it have to be through Odin?

Edit: Seeing as you're a fellow S3 user, have you experienced any lag or freezing with your phone? It happened quite a lot pre root, but i just thought it was due to the bloatware. And Touchwiz, haha. But it's happening with CyanogenMod 11 as well. I know that it's a nightly and that bugs are to be expected however i have an S2 running CyanogenMod 11 as well, and there's nowhere near as much lag. Any ideas? I reset the phone and re installed the ROM twice, mainly because i forgot to flash Gapps XD Any ideas? Should i do a full factory reset, free up some space? I know that there's 2gb left on both the phone and my SD card.

Anyway, thanks for all of your help so far! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
If u flashed cm u have retained same modem so no need to update modem ;)

Just leave it be.

About lag no :) my phone runs just good :) no matter what aosp or recent stock rom

Check your kernel config or go for a custom one a and set him up to what suits u best.

I use agni kernel on cm alongside with a optimised profile :)

And even with a UV of CPU and GPU my phone runs real smooth and saves juice :)

ive got experience with flashing custom roms and know how to do it but im quite paranoid which is why i have this question. Im currently running foxhound 2.4 on S# GT-i9300 with siyah kernel and i want to flash slimkat 4.4.2 build 3. i was just wondering if siyah kernel will get in the way of the flashing. Will i need to flash stock kernel then flash slimkat/gapps or does slimkat have install its own kernel in which case i guess i should just flash normally.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommypacker:
I think you should probably full wipe before flashing another rom. Then you should be good to go to flash slimkat and gapps.

My Wife is on her 2nd SD card with the same issues. I copy all of her pics and some videos from her move them to the Sd card. When going into my files it says there is 500+gbs on it! The file path extsdcard/Android has 467 gbs and 471 folders. Then there is a data folder but the D in data is a backwards u then ata. This folder says it is 467gbs with all folders named with crazy looking characters.

Anyone for my weird Network problem...?

I recently rooted my S3 via the CF Root method. Flashed CWM Recovery 6.0.4.4 via Odin.

That's it.

And now this weird problem-

My network is lost anytime! And the phone even doesn't say "Not registered on network" or something like that!

My phone was working properly and suddenly a friend of mine messaged me that he tried calling me but it said that my phone was switched off! I also noticed that at time even the data connection was not working. NO! It's not that it didn't show it isn't connected to the network or the data is disabled! The signal in the status bar was of 4 bars as it is and there was this symbol of 3G beside it. I tried calling my friend but the call got cancelled! I redialed, I didn't hear anything and then again the vibration saying the call was cancelled! I called up on my S3 through my landline number which also said that it was switched off -but not immediately. Whenever someone called me, they didn't hear anything for a long time of a minute or two and THEN it said that my mobile was switched off. I tried selecting my network operator manually, it said 'Registered on Network' but still I couldn't receive or make calls or use my internet data. But I could always send or receive SMSs!! It means it was connected to my network. The only solution was to reboot the phone after which it worked fine for a few hours. FOR FEW HOURS ONLY!

Now it happens at least 2-3 times per day and it has been important for me to check whether the data connection actually working and I'm able to access the internet or not because that's the only way to find whether someone can call me or not!

How do I fix this? I'm having my exams now and I don't have time to setup my phone again by changing ROMs!

Please tell me a way to fix this without changing my ROM!

I'm on Android 4.3 Stock ROM.

Hi im buying a galaxy s3 from a site that im pretty sure is reliable but before i buy i want to know if what he wrote is correct

the Module is :I9300

he says that the Gpu is: Mali-400MP

and i saw in some forums that its supposed to be Mali-400MP4?

can you please tell me which one is suppose to be in Galaxy s3

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VictorLapin:
Gpu for I9300 is ARM Mali 400 MP, as far as I know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toadyg:
Could be to do with the EFS partition. 4.3 uses a different version and apparently problems can occur when trying to revert to an earlier version. As far as I have read elsewhere, the problem can be verified by checking the IMEI number in settings - if it is all zeros it has been corrupted and will cause what you describe. I'm afraid I don't have a solution but hopefully this info might help you move a bit closer to one.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benko111:
You're welcome, and no problem, but there isn't much more I can tell you. In your situation not having a PC thus not having fastboot and ADB available is more than difficult. There's just this one option as far as I can see right now, you've got to get an USB stick or external card in a reader or whatever connected to your phone via USB-to-go cable. See if you can format your USB device to ext4 somehow so i9300 can recognize it, I'm actually not sure if TWRP can read any more file systems > google it if needed. Then in TWRP you have the option to mount USB-to-go under 'Advanced'. Play with that, i don't see any other option, maybe a Mac expert could help with Mac tools.

Anyway, here is the link to the latest CM11 for i9300. They don't have a stable yet, so it's the latest milestone, I can't say much about it's stability but should be stable enough for getting your phone back to work now.

Download here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/64374/cm-11-20140405-SNAPSHOT-M5-i9300.zip

Report back & much luck.

ROM Cleaner didn't erase Sammy apps

So... I have just flashed Android Revolution HD 51.0 (4.3 - Jelly Bean) on my GT-I9300. My steps were, a full wipe, flash the rom, reboot and install my apps. Unfortunately, ( because is based on a stock ROM) it came with tons of native Samsung apps like S Voice and S Memo.

So, I run ROMCleaner with the attached file and apparently all the stock apps were gone. But when I rebooted the phone, a "Optimizing apps" message (or something like that) appeared and then, all the stock app were still on my phone. Looks like the phone recognize that the apps wasn't there and install then again.

Is this a normal behavior or I have done something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Nedd to do delicate EFS restore without backup ;)

Hello all,

I am of course the usual Noobie with a problem too large for him !!!

I have a GSI9300 , but a French version (Bouygues)

Because of telephone first loosed WIFI, then was looping on start up, I flashed a new stock ROM from my provider, nof far from what was yet in the phoneI hope:

AP 9300XXDLJ2

CP : PODLJ1

CSC BOGDLJ2

the EFS was corrupted and the phone still in soft brick.

SO I used a EFS bootstrap mount with ODIN and of course it covered the original EFS.

Now at last the phone is functionnal , with WIFI etc, and I am facing the task of the IMEI info (and probably other, ?)

I am ready to read and learn, I am able to understand correctly but my knowledge in Linux is limited and dated.

I am trying actiually to use EFS PRO, and will stick with simple questions so not to afraid anyone ;)

WIll Qualcomm tools work on other chipset (Exynos 4412 x4.1 ghz) quadcore. ?

Is that tool really for experienced developpers ?

How can I know if I have an International version ? WIth my provider I am not CDMA with that phone (probably, I only acceed G3 with that model from 2012) and still have the older format of EFS

EFS tool can be linked without problem, but after reaing the thread in the XDA forum I used another tool to backup m EFS.

Any other tools to edit ? is not using a HEX editor to modify the actual (fake) IMEI and rewrite my original one the basics of the problem ? I suppose there are checksums and other security to protect from doing that...

Is there a TUTO somewhere on the forum about EFS functions and content ?

Thank you in advance to all

Full backup off device & CyanogenMod Installer

G'day

Total newb here and trying to give a non IT literate person some help with their phone. I use a I4S (don't hate me) so not familiar with android as I don't personally use it. If it helps my next phone will be an android.

Is the Samsung Kies app sufficient to backup all the data on the device before a factory reset? Or should I run an app like Simple ADB Backup (Holo Backup)? http://xdaforums.com/show...091047&page=11

The phone has to the stock standard samsung s3 rom and its not rooted. So this rules out titanium backup?

I want to capture all the data on the phone, so all bases are covered and I'm safe to perform a factory reset and well install cyanogenmod.

I'm thinking of going with Simple ADB Backup as it appears to do what I want ie backup everything and saving the backup to a pc.

As far as installing the latest cyanogenmod (v11), is it as simple as running the CyanogenMod Installer for the S3?

Thanks for your help.

Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 with TWRP and Revolutionary S5

Hi,

I suffered from a slow stock S3. I rooted it with TWRP and put Revolutionary S5 as custom ROM on it to make it work as new or even better. My device works fine for a while, but every now and then it get stuck or works very very slow. For every touch it take like 10-20 sec for it to respond or it just shut down apps or even crash. This happened before the root aswell so i guess it has nothing to do with it.

Now to my question, would it be possible to fix the phone or the S3 is slow now and then and just something i have to live with? I have not found any special time when it works slow. Maybe when i turn on mobile data when it has been off i guess, but not only those times. Would there be any better costum ROM for S3 to make it work smoother? I tried factory reset as stock and rooted, but it never last for very long. A day or so.

Regards

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusuf_adsas:
Revolutionary S5 rom is based on early ported note2 rom and hasn't been updated since years by its dev so I suggest you chose another rom. If you prefer Samsung's Touchwiz roms these are the most favorite IMO :

-back-to-n00t (raw stock 4.4.4 rom) by arter97

-Quraqumus rom by Quraqumus

-s5 sensation, blekota note4 lite by Blekota

-s5note4 style rom by Axuan (chose the one by [MENTION=5092577]zuziemanis[/MENTION] in last pages which is heavily debloated note4 style)

You can't go wrong and for more info on further improving performance you can ask in the respective thread.
