I noticed there are still a lot of people who dont know how to use odin, so i added a noob friendly guide for flashing with odin :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] djb77:
Maybe it's worth mentioning that they should only use a 4.1.2 Firmware with ODIN if they haven't already flashed a 4.3 via ODIN, otherwise they'll be stuck with KNOX.

Question to MaHo_66

I was going to use this method to root my GT-19305XXUEMK1 [4.3] as with a lot of reading now it seems my best bet to root.

Is there anything i am missing or should look out for? here is how i see it or am i wrong

1st i am flashing official 4.1.2 which does not have Knox bootloader

2nd root device

3rd Custom recovery

and in that order would i be right? Do i have to be very specific on sammobile in regards to the firmware i download

in regards to region and country?

PS Should a backup of IMEI/NV BE DONE BEFORE THIS?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] chongc1996:
U can't flash 4.1.2 after having your 4.3 knox bootloader.

Always had this problem on TWRP too , but it is TWRP related , the barbarrossa's one is working as any other recovery
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
I always thought it's an issue with old scripts used in Aroma itself. I was reading something like that weeks ago. I could be wrong lol
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Antsu:
I think he means that aroma screen is shrinked to half from fullscreen. So it's quite impossible to tap selections. Amcha and other sammy roms use aroma installer. The funny part is, the selection buttons show up in half screen, ofcourse, but when you try to tap it, it's not there. The buttons are in their real, fullscreen, position.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] ymlik:
yes, that's quite it
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
hm....do you guys know wich aroma fm version they use? because i cant do much about it (im using correct resolution ...)

the version of FM depends on the dev that created the script NOT on twrp itself (ok a bit but not directly)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] ymlik:
The version of aroma installer is 2.70rc2 to install the kernel agni PSN_pureCM_11_12+_smdk4x12_ANYROM-AROMA-v4.4.5_I9305_OC.zip , I have the problem .

Edit: With the version of TWRP 2.8.7.0 which is on this site https://dl.twrp.me/i9305/ installation with install aroma is normal ( good resolution ) against the Rom bugs.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
lol I was too fast, instead of booting recovery again after flashing I booted up my system but it worked. ROM boots up fine. And that theme looks amazing btw.

I thought I did take screenshots but they are nowhere to be found on my SD. Wait a sec, I'll try that again.

edit: attached some screenshots. Hope they are helpful
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] il3gal:
MTP not work (and mount not work).

Looks nice new recovery :D

Aroma with same problem. Show only half of screen..

Good job :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
Thx for screenshot thats OK! Yes i told i didnt fixed it yet... So here will come step 2... I cant compile a kernel that is not too large with f2fs and last sources... So i will send one of you guys a zip... This zip includes a MANIPULATED psn agni kernel... that one will apply the agni anyrom kernel to the recovery... Then the mtp+ aroma should be working...

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

ok here are the instructions (maultasche maybe do it?)

to be clear...that looks like you flashing agni....and yes you are flashing agni....but not to kernel...you flash it to recovery.... if i would have a i9305 i would do it myself x) )

-flash the latest testbuild (you already did i guess^^)

- go to recovery and flash it (yea you will need aroma... even if its halfscreened it will work (maybe button klickzone is there where it belongs to....so if you cant klick a button,....and it belongs to left down corner.... press left down corner)

then reboot recovery... and tell me if the aroma bug is gone (flash same zip again? lol)

is strange because screen work (touch control for Aroma is work good), and we see only half screen.hm
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
yeah, flashed psn.zip, rebooted into recovery and flashed the kernel which I'm using for the ROM I'm running on my phone. Then got stuck at Samsung boot logo but it's all fine now.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
like i said above i did a simple but effective mistake :-O

the psn.zip above is broken.... (it breaks up rom because it extracts kernel from recovery and insert it to boot.... i just forgott to change one line... )

go with this new one:

flash my latest Testbuild3... and then flash this psn zip...then reboot and try
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] il3gal:

now atleast that one should work:

download this ...and flash with my LATEST testbuild

BTW: the changes where never aplied to your recovery...thats why nothing changed =(
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
damn, that was almost impossible to flash- the screen was even smaller than half the screen with aroma lol

rebooted and tried flashing again, it's still only half the screen
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
Please dump me your recovery.img ... i will look if the changes have been done or not

(if it was applied but the bug is still present...then its not the kernel)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] il3gal:
[MENTION=6248658]SdtBarbarossa[/MENTION] . if you can solve MTP is good. I don't not have big problem with half-screen problem.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
The first time I used dd - sorry had to look up first that I won't do anything wrong. Hopefully I did everything right and dd is useful. If it helps, I'm using RR Remix, with AGNi Pure CM 12+

but anyway, I dont mind the half screen as well.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
Thank you for testing :) because its a bit danger for you guys (i cant understand that... In xperia devices a broken recovery never inflicts a system... But ok ...)

I will have a talk to the kernel dev... Because im out of ideas for the moment (i cant build agni from sources... Always make errors... Maybe toolchain... )

I will tell you if he reports :) and if we have a completed build + new theme that reduces size you will get official working builds ^^
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kaedin:
Well, I'm not sure what you're meaning with unbootable but I was able to flash zips normally with that build, but it got always stuck in the boot animation.

What I meant about the version was that it got something right as the installer screen was scaled to fullscreen. I just thought you could have found something that is related to this issue from that release. But anyways, if you find a fix for that it would be awesome! Because Open GApps with aroma installer is almost impossible to set up with these screen scalings for example (config file is a must then).
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
Ok, I have to be more specific. At first I tried to flash the new one via chainfires flashify but I got stuck at the twrp logo, same with flashing the image via recovery. Using odin, in my case heimdall, it booted but I couldn't even flash anything, unable to mount firmware, unable to mount system and one error saying recovery partition is too small.

But now as I think of it maybe using the faulty one to find the issue could be a step into the right direction. But then I'm not a dev and I have to speculate.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] il3gal:
Sent from my GT-I9305

Why you are not put .img recovery in a signed zip and flash like normaly zip. After, reboot in recovery again.

For me is much easy and safe because i know what i flash and where is go (block...)

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kaedin:
Is it possible to change the folder where TWRP saves its settings? Seems that your preferences (vibration, screen, time zone...) are saved to system folder as every time I perform a clean installation (wiping all except external storage) those settings are gone!

This was especially annoying with TWRP 2.8.5.0 when I had forgotten to change the screen timeout setting off and the phone freezed if the screen blacked out during flashing.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
the settings are stored on data... So if you clean data its gone... I dont know where i could save them so they survive a clean install
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] winxuser:
You could store it on internal card as not many people wipe that partition very often. I know I don't becuase all my computer hard drives are full (over 4tb)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kaedin:
Thumbs up for this suggestion! Maybe you could create separate versions of the recovery which would have different locations for storing settings? Or would there be another way?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
I will have a look at this recovery as soon as i have time... Atm i am really bussy sorry guys... Alexander_the_boss is working on a twrp version atm... He owns this device so maybe he can make it better (for every dev working without device is hard)

i will tell you if i got some free time...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
stupid question: isn't it possible to port a recovery from one device to another? I always thought that the Note 2 LTE (t0lte/N7105) is basically the same device as ours - same CPU, same GPU, same sensors, I think even partition mapping (or however it is called) is the same. The only differences are the bigger screen and a higher clocked CPU if I'm not mistaken. The 2.8.7.0 recovery for the Note 2 is only 7.7 MB, unlike ours with 8.1 MB.

Would that help in any way to fix the broken build for the i9305?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
I already know how to fix it :)

- new design (saves ~0,5MB)

- new comprimission for kernel XZ

- new comprimission for ramdisk

Makes a total of nearly 7MB ... BUT i am unable to build it atm because the kernel dont build for some reason :(( i contacted agni and wait for response

BTW porting is possible but the screen size must be the same... Also porting mostly brings much bugs you cant fix (because you dont build)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
Then don't mind my stupid question - it was just an idea that came right through my mind haha

but anyway, sounds great you figured out how to fix it without having the phone - we all appreciate it. Hopefully you'll get an answer soon
