Solution 1: Update the firmware with KIES ans you will have your phone unrooted.
Solution 2: Use the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in the "Tools" of your Samsung KIES and you will have the newest firmware and with everything reset

Are you on a stock or a custom Rom?

Just flash a stock rom with mobile Odin or Odin. You'll lose your root though.

I'm guessing it's because you're on the LL4 OTA which patched the exploit. Follow the guide in development.

Use the guide hpp posted and you can put the cwm file anywhere you want on the SD card I even have a folder named roms that I keep my mods in in cwm all you have to do is navigate to the folder using the volume keys then select the folder using the power button and then select the ROM/mod and flash it. Also aroma installers are the most customizable they let you select different bootanimations ect.

I9300 freezes + blue led flashing

Hi
I'm having a problem with my S3. Sometimes my phone won't wakeup after night. The blue led is on and i must reinsert battery to turn on the phone. My soft is XELLA so i was thinking that's problem with sudden death won't bother me but that's not right?
Is my phone slowly dying?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try factory reset, if the phone boots normally after a battery pull then it isn't terminal yet.
Odp: I9300 freezes + blue led flashing

Is there no newer "firmware" for your country? Latest firmwares that most other people have is pretty much freeze free. Since MB3 in February

I don't quite know what you're asking?
If you're rooted, flashing a custom kernel like perseus or siyah should be all you require

Well , my device has been freezing alot yesterday like 3 times and I want a freeze free firmware , The MB3 version is a leak 4.2.1 for i9300 , is it recommended to use it as my main firmware ? And perseus kernel is freeze free ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
The fix is in the kernel so if you use perseus, you don't need to change the android build

I want a stock kernel , can I use a firmware from sammobile and flash it with stock recovery? And which country firmware to flash?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I had this issue as well on rooted stock 4.1.2 ROM, I installed Android Revolution HD of same Android build (newer firmware), and never had it again. Tried also few other ROMs as well (official MIUI and ParanoidAndroid), also didn't experience this kind of freezing. Must be Firmware related, because I'm pretty sure that I was experiencing probs on XELLA firmware as well.

Why would you want the inefficient stock kernel if you're rooted?
You can flash official roms via odin

[Q] How to upgrade to 4.3 without losing data?

I am currently on 4.2.2 MDK rooted. I haven't done much except flash AIO Mods for odexed and freeze OTA, and delete TalkBack, GoogleTTS, and SamsungTTS. Someone told me that I can't upgrade due to being rooted. So my question is, how do I update without losing my data? Im willing to give up root too. Make sure that it's noob-friendly too, gingerbread for the X-Play was a lot easier. Thanks in advanced!
Your best bet is to Odin back to stock MDK.
