Hey guys I've been experiencing random freezes on my phone mainly while connected to the internet,the phone freezes and completely stops working, I can hit the home button infinite times that nothing happens, I can lock the screen but they I can not do anything, so I then have to press the power and lock key until it reboots! This has happened to me 4 times just today two times using the browser, 1 time using Opera Mini and 1 time on the XDA app!
I have searched but what I found is people with the issue, no answers!
I'm running the stock UK firmware flashed through odin the XXALE8, with the latest LH1 modem flashed through CMW, and rooted with the S3 toolkit method! Just that, have had the phone for 7 days and this started happening 2 days ago and the phone has been rooted since the second day.
Anyone knows what this is related to? If removing root will help and if I should change the modem to another one (which one?)
Flash the XXBLG8 firmware via Odin.
I've never experienced that problem but it wouldn't hurt to be on the latest firmware.

Thanks for your reply! So the XXBLG8 is the latest one? If it is then I will download it right away! Oh and would it still be good to flash the LH1 modem? Or should I stay with the one it comes with?
Yes it's the latest UK one, there is LG9 but that's the same except it's for Asia.
The LH1 modem is the latest for the UK also so use that one.

Thanks again, I'll do that and let you know! And as an update, in te afternoon I wiped cache, and dalvik just to see if it would do anything but without success! And about an hour ago I found out that the freezes would occur whenever I enable the syncing! And I had to reboot it 4 times until I could disable the syncing, I don't know what this means, but it might be helpful!
A friend of mine has the same problem, and in fact, has already returned on S3 due to the same 'glitch,' as Verizon referred to it. I'm trying to get into TW to wipe that cache, but don't have time before the lockup. I disabled syncing, but that hasn't helped.
I'm trying now to connect to Kies to at least back up the contacts before a reset. No luck there either.

Hope someone can help. I originally rooted my phone via Odin after I had updated to ICS via Kies. It was all working perfectly.
I then got notified via Kies that there was a firmware update so I downloaded that. After this, my phone kept on crashing, restarting and a couple of other issues including not being able to take screenshots.
Last night I re-rooted my phone using Odin again. Weirdly, now my camera screen is black, whether I select the front or rear camera. I still can't take a screenshot. I've tried wiping the dalvik cache. I would be grateful for any help you can give me.

I guess you are on ICS 4.0.4.
Flash a custom kernel via Odin, Siyah (4.x) or Speedmod (latest version)
Problem solved!

Hi!
Perhaps you can flash another firmware? It may be a firmware bug that you are experiencing..
D
i hope this will help you, cheers
You can reflash the firmware using Odin. You can find non wipe ROMs in this forum so that you can retain your gallery and contacts and stuff

Glad it Worked, It was not incidentally anyway. The problem you had is a known one
I brought my galaxy note from ebay. came woith ginger bread and older cwm. Flashed it latest CWM with Black star first. It was heavily unstable the screen would take 5 minutes to even startup an app. tird Liquid rom, same results. The jedi rom same results. Tried cm-10 got the dreaded status 7 error. Flashed TWRP with same results. Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong
1 wipe dalvik, cache, system
2. flashed rom
wipe dalvik, fix permissions
with no avail. Can someone please help
Try flashing back to stock ICS with Odin. Then root and do all necessary steps. After you do all that DL the ROM you want and wipe data, cache, wipe system and dalvick cache. Now flash the ROM. Reboot phone, let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Try that and see if it helps.

Just finished trying that. flashed the stock back in but now the stock has also gone unstable. even small things like accessing the settings menu causes a reboot. Almost turning into a nightmare. Thanks for your help
Are you using correct technique? A factory reset the wiping all caches? What baseband is in the About Phone?
The fastest way to recover is to use Kies firmware and initialization to clean it up.
I read through many threads and followed the technique described there in but seems like when I flashed the black star rom something messed up. I am unsure what. Is there any way to get the phone to the default state? Thanks in advance for all your help with this nightmare

I did put the stock back on using odin but the same problem is happening with stock now. I have the lg3 baseband now listed above could that be the cause?

Yes, that is a t-mobile modem. If you are at&t you want the LF6 modem.
Kies emergency firmware recovery will restock your phone.
Thanks to all for your help.
Whoa.....finally nightmare ended. I used the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731654worked like a charm and got back my phone.
Even though I have the ATT baseband LF6 Tmo calling sill works fine
Mods: please close this thread
I had the same problem but the AT&T guy had me call the AT&T support line and they sent a replacement without even asking me to do troubleshooting.
So I was using an app on the phone and it rebooted.
It now just loops around the initial splash screen, only pulling the battery stops it.
I can get to the recovery menu and did a factory reset but it made no difference.
Not rooted / stock ROM.
I checked the power button and that operates normally.
Is there anything else I can try ?
Thanks
flash a stock rom
If you are not rooted you will have to use Odin and a stock rom for your device.

thanks, I'll go and read up on odin.
I'd love to know what killed the OS, seems bizarre. I was only doing a crossword
I flashed the correct ROM via odin and its still doing the same thing, splash screen appears about every 5 seconds.
Any more ideas or is it going on a trip to the repair centre ?
non root apps cant really kill the os.
what fw we're you on? that app could have used the exynos exploit if your kernel is one of the older ones.
The FW is Vodafone UK, last had an update at the end of last month.
When it died there was nothing downloading etc, was just running an app I've had on there since I got the phone.

have you done a factory reset from recovery after reflashing the stock ROM?
if yes, send it to Samsung

Have you tried a custom recovery ie TWRP or Clockwork Mod, and then a custom ROM? Seeing that you did even have it rooted it probably isn't an option but it is an idea.

hello.
so here is my problem.
a friend of mine who owns a S3 , recently comes across this problem
no SOUND during calls, both incoming and outgoing (front ear speaker , back speaker and headphones , none of them work!!!)
but VIBER works fine (has sound in front ear speaker).
I flashed some ROM such as stock MB5 , Omega V43 , Android Revolution HD 23.3 ...etc , none of them has good luck , i also tried few different radio ... but still ...
any idea ? i don't think it should be a hardware problem because VIBER works.
If it's not hardware issue, try getting phone back to the factory settings, flashing stock ROM, unrooting, etc... And then you'll see.
Good luck

If youve tried everything? Try using megawipe to wipe before flashing rom, also redownload the rom again via the pc & also ask the dev what the m5 sum is & check it against your re downloaded rom before reflashing again & see if that works?
Hope this works if so press that thanks button :thumbup:

Try this out:
(Optinal backup)
1. First go to sammobile.com and find a PROPER firmware for your s3. Downloaded file should be .zip but extract it as .tar.md5 file.
2. Put your phone in download mode - Hold Vol Down + Power + Home for 10 seconds then press Vol Up to continue.
3. Download Odin 1.85 and run it.
4. Make sure that only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked and click on PDA, select the .tar.md5 file that you just extracted... Click start
Once it's done, put ur phone into recovery and wipe data/cache and then reboot...

if i may, what exactly is megawipe ? wipe everything ? i don't won't format internal SDcard because over 8GB datas and causes lots time to copy and past ... beside i really don't think internal SDcard has anything to do with it ...
with all due respect, it sounds like everything i have tried , what different does it make with my procedure ?
phone is not on my hand right now , will try so tomorrow.
everytime i install new ROM , i did WIPE data/cache, format /system partition and even fix permissions ...
no good at all , really strange !
i have never come across with such problem.
i googled and searched around XDA , some says it is hardware problem , but consider viber does work so i don't think it's hardware.
this is driving me nuts now ...
however it is Nerwork LOCKED phone ... but as far as i know , it should has nothing to do with it , but maybe need to put it under concern ...
oh wait a sec ,, i didn't upgrade the bootloader , could it be related ? i don't think so ...
didn't upgrade because the red mark over up-right side screen you know ...
but the way , everytime i try to test dial , it always has something like network dropped or no service or something like that , i can't exactly translate it ...

What do you mean phone is locked? Locked to one network? Or been locked because its been reported stolen or because its been locked due to the bill not been paid? Cause there is a solution to unlocking the sim to any network look in this forum for the apk. But if its cause the phone is locked due to an unpaid bill or been reported lost of stolen.... there is no fix (unless you wanna move out of europe?)

Vibes uses wifi so maybe flashing a new modem will fix your problem.. I've had this happen to me a few times on different phones and different android's.. Usually a few reboots fixed it but you need to try flashing a few radios for your country first..

I do not know what really causes the problem, but the main thing is: take the last stock rom FULL country and carrier that was bought the phone. In my case the XXDLJ4 is a rom vodafone in Portugal. I don´t now is work in another country or carrier.
For in the midst of several layers between hardware and software are sections that cooks do not touch rom (settings network operator and country) and performing jailbreaks or wrong things can corrupt those sections.
It was so decided.
If you want you can test a stock rom than the original phone, in my case gave error when using a rom free carrier, the charge for the phone (via ODIN) stopped. More certain is the size in MB of the sections are different from carrier to carrier (or country to country??).
Try it.
Hi all,
Before I have flashed the custom rom and would like to restore the stock rom now, but when I flashed the stock rom by odin(downloaded from sammobile.com), after boot up and test the call, camera, vibrate.. everything are ok, and then power off.
But in next day, I turned on the phone and want to test it again, it freeze and get very hot, then I try to flash with odin again, but when installing in the download mode(about 80%), it hangs and very hot, I need to take out the battery. I have tried three times, the result are the same, what can I do now?
Thanks.
Was it the latest stock firmware or an old one? Sounds like a hardware issue.
