I tried to take all sorts of rum Whether installation through Odin or through itself (Root with all wipe option), whether it munched Israel, whether European version
I tried 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 4.0.3 and 4.1.1 and still can not view this photos I took pictures.

Have you considered there might be something wrong with the hardware? If flashing a new roms doesn't help, it only makes sense the problem is with the camera. an educated guess by what you described is a damaged cmos sensor or a something dirty on the lens.try cleaning the lense and if this doesn't help, i'd pay a lab to get it fixed unless your wife doesn't use the camera often.

Hey Guys,
I've rooted my SGSII. Once i got to the point of flashing the new firmware using Odin, upon rebooting my phone, i noticed the screen contrast is quite higher than it used to be (Blacks and greys look washed out, colours are too bright).
I rooted my phone using Odin and Superoneclick - As per instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
I'm using Android 2.3.3 and my Kernel version now shows as
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
[email protected] #2
I've got root now, which is excellent, but if for whatever reason, I can't resolve this screen contrast issue i'm happy to give it up.
Could someone please provide me with some detailed instructions on either:
a) How to fix the contrast issue inside of the phone settings (i've had a good look and i don't think there's anything i can change, I see no other display options aside from brightness)
b) A different method of flashing the firmware which won't result in this issue
c) Removing the root from my phone all together and returning to stock
For the record, i'm using an Australian version of the handset, which was purchased through Vodafone.
Tips?
Add the Power Widget to a screen. Select the right-hand icon. This moves the image from auto to bright to very bright to auto. See if this solves the problem.
Thanks for your response. I have tested this and this is not the case. It's definitely not related to the screen brightness, as the contrast is way too high on any brightness setting.
You have a very old ROM (KDD).
The link you gave for rooting has been superceeded (as mentioned at the very top of the first post) to * HERE *
I would download the Samsung KIES software (you can back up photos, videos, texts, contacts, etc) and also check and download the lastest firmware for your phone. Once that is done you can use the link above to reroot your phone.
Strangely enough, i took a backup using KIES previously and when i tried to restore it after reverting to factory defaults to try resolve the problem above, the backup failed to restore.
Check that the KIES program is the lastest version.
I rarely use KIES but it did backup my settings correctly.
You should use it to download the lastest ROM, that should solve your contrast problem.
I have the latest ROM, so no downloads are available through KIES, sadly.
Contrast issue solved. Cheers!
I have the same Problem Please Tell how to solve.

Hi there,
I have encountered a very similar issue with my device, as the rooted version of kernel that you flashed for your handset is exactly the same as mine. May I ask what was the final version of kernel you fired into? As I did not noted the string of the official version of kernel before rooting and therefore I am currently stuck on what version of modified kernel is best compatible with the handset.
I might as well list out the following information which might needed to find out the compatibility of a modified kernel:
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKG1
Build number: GINGERBREAD.ZSKG2
Thanks
the exact same thing happened to me - after rooting and loading a custom rom the screen appeared very washed out and faded. mine was a white galaxy s 2, locked to o2. in the end, i loaded the original o2 firmware "GT-I9100_O2U_I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKDJ_I9100O2UKE1" and its counterpart kernel, and the screen went back to normal (how it was when i bought the phone).
i can't explain why it happened, or why it went so washed out in the first place. the official carrier roms and kernels are listed here (if your phone was locked to a particular network):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
and the official firmwares and kernels from samsung:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
let us know if you managed to solve your contrast issues, and which rom worked (if that was the solution).
EDIT: don't know if this is relevant, but this was the only o2 rom i found which had the o2 animated startup.
Problem Solved For Me
I had the contrast Issue after rooting my SGS II
PDA:I9100JPKH1
PHONE: I9100XXKG5
CSC:I9100JPKH1
now the problem solved after Flashing the XWKDD Stock Kernel from this thread
After doing that i noticed some issues with the Gyroscope, so i went back again and flash the the zimage file which i extract from the stock firmware and rename the file to zimage.tar and flash with odin
NOW EVERY THING IS FINE !

How is the issue solved? Please give the steps if possible. I'm having this same problem on my SGSII... the colors are washed out (even though bright), and I can't believe this is the best the screen can do...
Guys,
I've just rooted and I'm in the same situations as other of you.
My screen is washed out and way too bright..
How did you guys solved the problem?
Thanks
Anybody with an answer?
You can flash back the old version with odin

Hello so i got my S3 today, it's the 3G korean version SWH M440S.
Will rooting and those custom firmwares that was made for i9300 work?
Also, the phone came with a lot of random unneeded apps, how do i put on a fresh un modified FW from Samsung on my korean version?
Also, S Voice is in korean even when i set the language to English, how do i change it to english?
Thanks

Not sure about rooting and fw, for s-voice you have to enter the S-voice settings to change the language. Just hit menu when in Svoice.. you'll have to guess since it's in another language which to pick. lol.
Is that model you got the one with the quad and 2gb of ram? Are you using it in CA? if so what carrier and does it work fully? and last question.. where did you get it and how much? lol
The "SHW-M440S" is a Exynos 4 quad with 1gig of ram as far as I can tell.
I wouldnt flash anything meant for the i9300 (International version), take a look in this thread for more info on this device and other stuff
Well it's identical in terms of hardware to the i9300.
I want to get rid of all the things that this korean telecom company had preinstalled on the phone and have a clean phone.
Have anyone tried using any i9300 mods with the korean 3g S3

You get whatever firmware is for your phone as provided by the phone vendor . You do not get a base Android .

In the thread somebody linked above there are instructions on rooting the phone, there also is pre-rooted stock Rom and one custom Rom called prestige. Your best bet is to get rooted and use titanium to remove all the bloat ware. The few international Roms and mods I have tried have not worked but let me know if find one that does!

If you find a way let me know. If I knew now what I know now I would have gone with a international version. But I was making the jump from an iPhone so didn't know that mine would be so incompatible. Oh well, still a sweet phone!

Head over to the Korean phone page here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749214), root your phone, use titanium to freeze or uninstall all those unwanted apps!
On another note found this on Korean dev site. Seems this guy is running the Siyah kernel with CM10 on his M440s
Edit: He posted his Siyah kernel and via translation seems you could use CM9/10 with it. Gonna get the mrs to make sure google translate is correct before trying. You can easily sign up at that site to access the files.

Thanks, all done by following the instructions.
So, how do I proceed to debrand (remove sk telecom rom and get a stock debranded rom?
Ive only seen i9300 ones. Can I use i9300 stock rom on shw m440s as I use this phone in canada
As of right now you have two options that i know of. 1) root the phone and manually remove bloatware. 2) use a custom Rom (cm9/10/etc) with a custom kernel.
If you can't read Korean, can't figure out how to access sites for custom kernels PM me with email address and I'll email you the modified cm9/cm10/franco kernels I have found for our phone then you can test out which works best for you.
Sent from my SHW-M440S using xda app-developers app
Hello I'm a Korean user
for custom ROMs, you have to flash a 'kernel converter' of a custom kernel for the shw-m440s after flashing the ROM for the firmware to work. sometimes, touchwiz based ROMs have problems with communication and photography but aosp based ROMs and CM based ROMs have worked perfectly so far. recovery you can flash the same one with the i9300 and have no problem. For rooting you have to have a visit to this thread
So I have a S3 and I am totally not sure if its the original I9300 or SHW M440S... I have flashed stock I9300 4.3 firmware and the result was a laggy firmware and my phone kept rebooting. I wasnt the first to own this phone, my uncle did and he said he just flashed the old i9300 4.3 firmware and the problem has occured which is a broken camera (cant connect to camera), not working speakers and headphone jack and mic...
Normally I would just get it fixed but.. Because of the broken cam, speakers and mic, my youtube or any online streaming videos does not load and mp3 musics dont play as the player apps force close when i press play...
Again, a broken hardware does not affect the software so I am not sure if it is really the hardware or I just flashed the wrong firmware on the wrong phone.
Has anyone ever tried to flash a I9300 4.3 official firmware on a S3 SHW M440S?
Did you get the same result as I did?
Do you recommend me to flash a SHW M440S firmware on my s3 just to check? Will it not brick my phone?
Please help me out..
Thanks and God Bless
You can't flash i9300 rom on a M440S without it being converted, or installing a kernel made for the m440s afterwards or using a kernel converter after the rom.

Hi,
A couple of months back I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 using Odin 1.85. My phone is a UK I19100, on Three. Today, I wanted to unroot it, so being a fool, I followed the guide at galaxys2root. com
I have downloaded firmware for a different carrier, and when starting my phone, I have error messages such as 'android.process.acore has stopped working' and I find that the 3 store has disappeared. Also, the phone no longer works, being extremely slow and unresponsive.
Please could someone guide me on how to get back to the latest official Three UK stock kernel and firmware for the SGS2.
Thanks guys, much appreciated, really stuck here.

You don't have to flash stock firmware to unroot your phone...
You can flash any country's firmware you want, as long as it's for your device. So I suggest flashing the latest I9100XWLPX firmware.

Thanks for the link and your quick reply. Will this work for a UK Three SGS2? I don't want to install something that will mess it up
I installed this firmware: I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 before, and it ruined the phone, the three store had gone, the phone unresponsive, whenever touching an icon it crashes and needs reboot etc.
Also, will this firmware put it back to original factory software, ie. stock everything ICS and unroot?
Sorry, kinda a newbie at this.

phone comes from Europe,and when i bought it ,it brushed
I do not know what they did to my phone
so i brush my phone with a original official hongkong rom ,[ including apboot,csc,pit,code,modem]
then used cf xxzski3 kernel to root
finally brushed a original zski3 kernel

For the last 3 days my phone has been acting in a really strange manner. First, it was really slow, and out of the sudden, started to freeze. Almost every time it froze, I was typing (whether in whatsapp, gtalk, gmail, etc). Not even the physical buttons work when it's frozen, so I have to pull the battery out to restart the phone. If I choose not to take the battery out, it unfreezes after about 10 minutes.
I wiped the phone and the problem was still present, so I don't think it's because of a specific app I've installed.
The funny thing is that the cursor is still blinking in the screen.
It's not been rooted, so it's using the stock JB updated OTA:
Android version: 4.1.2
CP: I9300XXELLA
Compilation number: JZO54k.I9300XXEMA2
CSC: I9300PHEELL3
What can be causing this problem in my phone?

I think its a bug with kernel. I root my phones straight up. XDA or myself give the support for my phones. Normally I do personally for me as I like stock, deodexed with no bloat but still with key Samsung stuff.
Flashing leaked rom is essy. Download firmware, put phone in download mode and open Odin and hit install... simple as that. Its not rooted so youre still all official. That bug went when I did it without root. But I went for stock deodexed one later as its more smoother and fun. Let me know if you need more assistance
