then probbaly our NAND chip has been worn out

my last hope is removing Xposed

if it still happens, then our S3 is blown out!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Try low-formatting your NAND.

I can help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
just an idea I had:

do you still have a second rom or parts of it in your data partition?

similiar things happened for me (not as worse as in in your case), but after removing the second rom everything went back to normal :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
no there are no second ROM installed, not even the folder itself!

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

how to do so?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Go to recovery, (If PhilZ, turn the screen off by swiping to the left - to prevent burn-ins.. :P)

Open adb shell,

umount /data

umount /cache

umount /system

umount /preload

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 bs=16M

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 bs=16M

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 bs=16M

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 bs=16M

sync

And reboot to download mode from the reboot menu, use ODIN to flash stock firmware.

After flashing stock firmware, it'll automatically enter recovery to apply CSC.

After recovery exits, be quick and enter recovery manually yourself.

It'll complain it can't mount /cache and /data. Ignore and do a factory reset, and reboot.

Don't flash anything custom until you get stock firmware running perfectly.

0p8 = cache

0p9 = system

0p10 = preload

0p12 = data (will take tens of minutes)

At the end of each dd command, it will complain that no more space is available. That's normal, however if you got some another error, that means your nand is hardwarelically corrupted..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
firstly thanks for your help

but i want to ask two questions

1- if it produces another error than "no more space available" that indicates my nand is hardwarelically corrupted, what i am supposed to do??

2- can i use the 4.1.2 Firmware, i don't have a 4.3 firmware at the moment!!

i feel too scared to be honest :o

well it seems like time to go for the note 4

currently i am resorting to my old nokia C3-01 touch and type :D :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
1- Get a motherboard replacement.. but I believe you probably won't want to LoL

2- Well you have nothing to lose other than your data :) And please enjoy your "next" Snapdragon phone :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
did you take a look on the logcat posted before ? maybe take a look on the last of the txt file, i know it is too large!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cba1986:
Had you tried to follow @arter97 steps?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
not yet, still downloading the 4.3 Odin FW

but it sounds for me like a corrupted NAND (a friend of mine had that issue and he had a motherboard replacement, but he owns a note 2 and his problem was after 15 months only)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svartsyn333:
Never give up. I soft-bricked my HTC Sensation twice and brought it back to life somehow. It was hours of blood, sweat and tears, but I never declared it dead until I tried anything possible. Good luck for rescuing your S3!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] snakeboy1011:
Can you get this kernel working with the DN4 ROM when you get your s3 plz:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
[MENTION=5060769]Mostafa Wael[/MENTION].. have you try this method before?

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367

I bricked my phone before too after losing efs..but luckily i got efs backup in sdcard..then dont know how did my s3 bricked after lots of flashing repair..

I used this method above and it works wonderful.. you can even use ICS/JB stock odin rom but make sure you use correct modem for it..

maybe its not corrupted NAND, any its worth to try it before getting replacement for motherboard..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Isn't it already?

my phone didnt boot after flashing this kernel

my rom is nameless 2.0
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]

can i use a JB 4.1.2 Stock Firmware instead of the 4.3 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Maybe... not sure
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
i will try NOW

but can i root the phone and flash an EFSv2 modem after the procedure ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Why flashing efs v2 when you can download firmware 4.1.2 with v2 already? mg4 and up is v2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
well the problem is that i am having an XXELLA_XXELLB firmware right now and connectivity is very poor! so i can not download large files

well, problem solved now i called a friend and he has a 4.3 firmware tar file (not splitted into 3 parts) and i will take it from him tonight!

as for now i recovered all my data from the internal storage, they were only a few, via Aroma File Manager "it took 5 minutes exactly, so i did not face that strange issue". it is really nice tool to have always :)

once i get the 4.3 Firmware, i will low-format my NAND as per [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] instructions.....

Thanks to [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]

Thanks to [MENTION=4970357]cangcan[/MENTION] for helping :)

ohh and btw i found a kernel_panic_log file in the internal storage!!!!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] deezy154:
1)unknown baseband?

2)when i flash this it does a wipe all of my settings? like accounts or app datas maybe
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]

in your tutorial you write "umount" instead of "unmount"

is that what you mean? or is it a typo?

plus, when i said umount /data and umount /system and umount /preload , it said (invalid argument) except for umount /cache , it went perfectly

i paused the procedure till you tell me what to do...

and also i downloaded a 4.3 firmware, but it is 1-part .tar file, so is it okay ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Yup, ignore umount errors.

And no, that's not a typo :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nicesoni_ash:
Yeah, that's ok.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]

i did the low-formatting to the phone now

here is a detailed report about what happened:

1- did the umount commands and ignored the errors (invalid argument)

2- did each dd command (all of them went successfully with only the expected error of 'no space available')

3- here is the catch: after doing the 'sync' command, the phone went into its insane loop on the "Samsung Galaxy S III" splash screen, where it was laying on the desk and not a single touch to it was done!

4- i held the power + home + volume down to enter download mode and then flashed the latest firmware for my zone "XXUGBK6 if i remember well"

5- flashing the firmware went flawlessly and it went to recovery after to apply the CSC "a robot showed up"

6- entered the recovery mode quickly like you said via the button combination, and i was welcomed with the stock Recovery layout and below it said "applied CSC successfully" and errors about the phone unable to mount /data and /cache and unable to create /data/recovery_log , which was expected

7- selected the wipe data/factory reset option then rebooted the phone

8- phone booted successfully after 3:12 minutes exactly and i set up the phone

9- after then it was showing me up the power menu and I just tap on the back button

10- then it went to that freaking loop on the splash screen endlessly. I tried to boot in download mode and it showed up the passage of the warranty issues correctly. I tried to reboot in recovery and it just loops in there, so i gave up and let it alone on the desk. Then i heard the sound of the stock boot animation of the phone, but unfortunately it does not even complete the boot animation! And kept on that loop for a while "may be 2-3 minutes" until all of a sudden, it booted successfully!! So i took the phone and left it in the drawer!! Let the miracle do the job! :angel:

so what do you conclude??

Thanks for your help :)

P.S did you read the panic_log i posted before??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeyadrani:
after flashing the kernel my phone doesnt want to boot..it doesnt even get into boot animation..only show "samsung galaxy s III" then turned off again

#iam on nameless 5 and using TWRP -tried to flash arter97 version 3.1 and 3.1.1 both have same problem,any suggestion ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
well they are already written in the OP

CM10.2, CM11, CM12 by (JustArchi & Moster2 & arter97), Stock Samsung ROMs android 4.3, Back-to-n00t ROMs (Sammy's android 4.4.4)

and ROMs based on them

to put them in a nutshell, this kernel supports all ROMs except ArchiPort (Sammy's 4.4.2) and Nameless ROM (lollipop 5.0)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] george stamatos:

i have almost studied arter97 kernel. it is the favourite and the most-used one!

UPDATE: Up time now is more than 6 hours and no insane splash screen loops until now, could this be the end of the freaky loop? Will the S3 survive? Will i return using the phone again ?

i hope so.... :fingers-crossed:

UPDATE2: 12 hours now, no insane loops :D looks like my phone WILL SURVIVE!!! :victory:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
Problem is not in the busybox binary but the tar command you are using, philz recovery thinks that command is wrong

But you can still try if it works, maybe the busybox provided by philz recovery is broken

You can also keep seperate files and use compression method as best while zipping the package it will reduce the size
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Can you give me that recovery log? Will help me with understanding more.

I've tried seperated, best compression but it's still very large.

The main reason I've compressed all imgs into one file is that those imgs are almost the same.

So, with the appropriate(like xz) compression, the size is reduced dramatically.

The problem is tar(busybox), it apparently cannot parse stdout.

Adding my own tar(busybox) will solve it, thanks!

2. Install aSwitch

3. Broke Wi-Fi

4. In Settings, under kernel version, nothing is changed. Also, the aApps says "Arter97 kernel not recognized"

I am really interested in this, as it seems very promising. Please someone help me.

Hi people. Is it possible when we use 2 roms with arter kernel to change kernel in the second rom and again to return to arter like in the 1st rom. Sometimes i want to flash other kernels. i can do it in 1st one
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
well you can change kernel as you want, but it will NOT boot in the 2nd ROM

meaning that;

you have TW ROM as 1st ROM and CM11 as 2nd ROM with arter97 kernel

if you flashed boeffla kernel, you will only have access to TW ROM (1st ROM) with boeffla kernel :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Veyrontarga:
Hi all,

I experience incredible lag whichever governor/scheduler I use, also, charging control doesn't seem to work too well? I need ignore unstable to charge on Archi kernel it takes 2/3 hours but on arter kernel maybe 4/5.

What settings will enable me to have lag-free UI and proper charging?

(Running CM12)

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] inooni:
It means that there is no chance to try other kernels in the second rom. So what you suggest;i want to flash L droid and blekota v10 so which one to put in 1st rom, i am confused. By the way maybe arter97 can give an idea how to change kernels also in the 2nd roms
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Ok i am now on stock ROM + stock Kernel and everything is stock

all i did is using my apps

i was opening a multiwindow of whatsapp and browser and guess what, i have RAM management problems!!! Free RAM was going as low as 76 MB only!!!!!

you see, it is PURE STOCK ROM WITH NO CUSTOM THINGS!!!!!!!!

in the DN$ ROM, i get like 130 or 140 MB Free RAM, with my tweaked LMK values and arter97/boeffla kernel

you see? looks like Samsung did not have enough time and just ported the Android 4.3 Touchwiz from the S4 :p :/

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

well it is impossible as kernel is a Single image, not double

and it is all over dualboot-capable kernels

so install the ROM you use the most in the 1st ROM slot!

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ----------

if you are having hard time with intelliactive, then try to use Zzmoove-moderate or the optimized profile

use BFQ as scheduler for internal and external storage, if you are a heavy multitasker! If not, you may use CFQ for internal and ROW for your external, if you do have an External sd card! If you don't have Sd card, then use ROW for your internal storage

try to increase the currents for the charging problems

that's it!
