Please read. (it's a sticky in this very forum)
Read the tag at the bottom of the thread as well. Try a bunch of roms out until you find one you like. Flashing roms/backup/restore is simple & takes 5 minutes in CWM. No excuse for you not doing this.
Please try the ROMs for yourself and then tell us what was the best.

Hi everybody .. need some explanation about OTA update for rooted SGS2 now I heard 4.0.4 is beeing available for Russian and English users ..
1) first OTA update is what we do when we make a sotftware update in "about the phone" menu ?? However "manual update" stands for update via kies am I wright?
2) I know that updating a stock ''rooted'' firware is not possible via kies .. Is it possible via OTA ??
3) For rooted AND modem modified stock ICS is OTA update possible?
(( Im on LPG stock with syiah 3.4 kernel and XXKI4 modem (has better network reception than XXLPX original modem in my region)))
PS: I have looked all the afternoon for this in other forums and looked for "OTA , rooted" in XDA before i post so hope nobody tells me i'm a lazy stupid
THANKS for helping guys
forgot this...
4) Does anybody know wich nordic firmware is beeing updated to 4.0.4 ?? LPG or LPD or other one?
More than 100 views and no reply ,though it is a yes or no question ! So I guess not too many people have the answer i'm not the only noob here
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
Hiii ! looks like nobody knows the answer !!! I posted in several other forums but it looked like i was talking japaneese :crying:
If you're trying to update to ics, go to www.sammobile.com, download the firmware you want and flash through odin. i've heard a lot of people having trouble with OTA updates recently
Thanks man ,, yes I have seen some aborted OTA updates for no reason in some forums too .. I thought that came from root or modified modem or something like that and I posted here to get sure .
On the other hand flashing the leaked ROMs may lead to hard brick cause i ve got the EMMC bug
So I think Im going to wait for other 4.0.4 without brick risk !! Or why not a JB update (for god sake samsung or this will be my last corean device ever :crying

Have you thought about rooting your device and trying JB now? RootBox has a really good version of it, and its relatively stable

I'm root already ,, I was waiting for stable versions now you told me this I will test it .. And i mean only test cause I never found as usefull as touchwizz interface in stock ! I have hundred apps and need folders to get them sorted otherwise I will get lost ! SGS3 Touchwizz proposed on most recent roms has a little lag in unlimited scroll ! Other launchers don't give a good alternative :crying: I don't know why all people hate TW so much ! this haterness looks like a contagious disease ...
Hello XDA Forum!
I’m a moderate ROM tester, and since I’ve recently had my device for almost a couple of months I’ve decided to flash with Odin the Entropy daily driver for my Galaxy player. However; it seems that the kernel has affected my player charging when turned off via laptop, and the battery life is draining faster than normal.
Thankfully, a moderator by the name of Shogunmark has provided a system dump that I’ve, and another member tested and noticed that the CWM kernel is still in tack after flashing. Is there a way we could take out the device’s stock kernel to override this custom kernel?
Please let me know, I'm sure I won't be the only person asking for the help to get back stock since other hyperlinks to stock doesn't exist anymore.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi,
I use this method to restore Kies stock kernel and ROM on my Galaxy player, maybe this can help you:
Since Kies don't let me reinstall the original ROM over a custom one, like ICS based (i don't know why), I managed to find a flashable Stock ROM for Odin. This version I found was an older version of real Stock, but after flashing that, Kies shows me an upgrade to the updated stock ROM which include even the stock kernel.
For the charging issue, the Entropy512 kernel has implemented a charging hack. You can read full tweaks on their page
Charginghacks - faster charging at low battery, slightly slower near the end, overall faster charging while trying to minimize battery stress

Do you have the outdated copy?
Unfortunatly i have the INTL version and my ROM isn't comatible with your device. The code name of mine is G70XXKPH, please ask for the code name of the US version and search it on google as i did.

Hi, i found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520728
It has a link to a Stock US ROM, hope it work!
I need some help from the pros. I would like update my stock P7500 (currently running 3.2) to either a working ICS (and yes by working I mean fixed battery drain) or to a stable fully functional custom rom. I saw a post about a fix to the battery drain but if I saw correctly it was to be installed from a recovery mode, and I have no idea what that is. I have flashed my samsung devices with Odin and I need files that are ment to be installed with Odin.
Is there a working fixed ICS version to be downloaded and I am open to all suggestions installing a custom. As long as it has all the camera and other functions.
And naturally I need a version that has the nordic Finnish language. Thank you very much for the help.
I had ICS for a week but the battery drain bug made me go grazy.
I think your thread would be better in Q/A Forum. This has nothing to do with development.
If you dont know how to flash a recovery, or root your device, or flash a custom ROM, read!! Here are so many threads that gives you the help that you need. Read first before you ask. The most custom ROMs where flashed by recovery. Only the recovery himselve as tar.md5 (pershoot ones) and stock FWs where flashed via Odin.
Sorry but that post was sooo confusing. And yes, there are thousands of posts about custom roms, and that my friend is the problem. I need someone to tell me, which solution is the easiest for me.
I guess it would be easiest to install fixed ICS with finnish language, ifnthere is one I would be supper happy for the link. Sammobile is full of versions and I really don't have a clue which is the correct one. Especially with fixed battery drain.
Icould find the official update from samsmobile, Latest firmware info
GT-P7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 PDA: P7500XWLP6 CSC: P7500OXXLP5 Added: 2012-10-20
But is there one that has the battery drain fix integrated?
The only FW which has no DS Probs is the chinese FW. But its only in chinese and english. So you could try to flash the FW from this thread. Its the FW from Czech Republic, but i mean its multilingual. Im not sure. You can flash it easy with Odin.
There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions. Idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself
I don't actually have the GS3 unfortunately, but in order to make XDA a better place, I thought I'd open up a help thread for those who need it. I won't be able to give S3 specific help, but I can help in terms of general questions. Hopefully some of the experienced S3 help out on this thread, because it'd make everything easier. Thanks!
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
Then, have a quick look at the names of threads in post no2, you might find what you need right away.
For ROM issues please do mention in your post about:
ROM name
ROM version and base
kernel version and its settings
any mods applied on top of it
flashing "style" aka dirty or clean
something like this
...and be sure you have asked before on the ROM thread unless you have less than 10 posts on XDA
Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read threads in post no2 (coming later as soon as we start getting the guides) to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE,adb, drivers, superCID etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.
No abuse towards noobs tolerated here! No question is stupid in this thread.
***I feel that a little OT is healthy to the success of this type of thread. The people here who help the most will develop a comradery therefore OT is allowed within reason. Common sense will be applied ***
HALL OF FAME
People who contributed most to this thread and helped countless number of people with their problems/questions. In no particular order.
Currently none. Hopefully soon.

Hey guys, i'm sort of a noob on these forums so any help would be great!
I've had previous experience with rooting because of my S2, no problems at all. I got my s3 about a month ago and I've been trying to figure out how to root it. It's a GT-I9300T ( Australian model ). It has a lot of Vodafone bloatware, however it's unlocked as i'm using an Optus sim card. I've also read that there aren't many differences between the international model and the T model, so any international ROM should work fine. It's running 4.3. I've read about how KNOX is built into 4.3 and makes rooting difficult by blocking the installation of custom Roms and disabling superSu. I'm not sure if i have Knox though, because i don't have a KNOX app installed; there are no KNOX related apps installed on my phone ( according to the all section of my applications manager ) and it says nothing about the KNOX counter in download mode. Is KNOX still present on my phone, and will i be able to install customs roms?
Also, what would be the best method of rooting? I have tried the saferoot method by Mrw0lf on YouTube, which is made not to trigger Knox. I've read about CF root and other methods involving Odin, have not tried any yet because i'm scared of bricking my phone. Any help or link would be helpful. Also, if something goes wrong; would i be able to flash a stock 4.3 ROM onto my phone using Odin? I'm downloading it now from sammobile and i was wondering if flashing anything through Odin would cause problems.
Lastly, is there a way to backup my EFs before rooting? I can't find them through the default file explorer and the folder is empty in 3rd party ones. I can't seem to find them when i go through my phone on my computer, i just want a backup before i try to root.
Anyway, vital phone info:
Model: GT-I9300T
Version: 4.3
Sorry for the long post, but any help would be cool. Also, i'm not that good with all the technical things behind rooting such as CSCs, basebands and such, so any simple explanation would be nice
Thank you! :fingers-crossed:
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 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://forum.xda-developers.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!

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.

I think you should probably full wipe before flashing another rom. Then you should be good to go to flash slimkat and gapps.

SD Issues ? backwards "u"
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. I did try and search forums but could not find where to post and didn't want to get yelled at by the "Geniuses" on here for posting in the wrong place or not searching well enough. So if u could please get me to the right place it would be much appreciated. All the files are pics and vids of kids and thankfully we have auto backup in with google otherwise it seems we would lose all photos and vids. Thanks. Please see attached pics for reference
S3 4.0.4 stock rom
I had installed android 4.3 on s3 but then I installed 4.0.4 after that I had no gsm connectivity see the block sign between battery and wifi. I have gsm connectivity on 4.3 but not on 4.0.4. A guy told me that it has something to do with the bootloader. I wish to install 4.0.4 stock ICS BTU rom if there's a way do tell me. Thanks in anticipation!
i am using GlamourS4 5.0 rom and googy max2 kernel
the first problem i have is when i pressed the emergency call button on the lockscreen,
it did show anything such as the keyboard and the signal will stop a few seconds and come back.
second, i found the nfc not working anymore in my phone.
the nfc and s beam tag are greyed when i try to turn them on.
can anyone can solve my problems?
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.

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.
Another SlimKat question. According to battery stats, it seems that my wi-fi is always on. I've used 3g only since last charge and wi-fi is off in settings. Can it be helped somehow? Screenshot attached.
