[Q] Galaxy S3 Stock Rom - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there is somehwere I can download the Official rom from.
I installed cyanogen mod 9 on my S3 using clockwork recovery mod and it wiped my backup.
I have tried sammobile but the problem is I need it for version: I9300XXLH1. I am located in Australia.
While on the topic, I have a friend who is using a S3. Could I possibly install CWM and copy a backup off his phone?
Please help, I miss all my features haha.

The official stock rom does not exist .
Many official roms .
CHECKFUS is probably your best method .
Could I possibly install CWM and copy a backup off his phone?
Probably .

Why don't you just flash the JB rom with Odin that was released yesterday.
After that, go into stock recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset and you're good to go.

Going back to official firmware?

Hello.
I have had a GS3 for a few months now and a few weeks ago my friend showed me how to install the polish jellybean update for my phone (I don't have a polish gs3 but he said it was safe to do ) and it was pretty easy.
I have decided to use a custom rom now. I have already rooted my phone but before I install a custom rom I was wondering how easy it is to go back to the polish version that I have downloaded if I don't like it.
Thanks and hopefully this is the right part of the forum to post this in.

Thank you. If I want to try out different custom roms do I have to go back to official firmware first or can I just install a custom rom over another custom rom?
Hi,
You can flash a custom rom without going back to the "original version" (stock rom that came installed in your GS3) - Just keep in mind that you must do a full wipe in your device (data/cache and dalvik).
You just need to flash the CWM via odin and then flash the custom rom via CWM.
You just need to follow this instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238)
And than follow the instructions of your favorite custom rom to install it.
Cheers

OK, but he doesn't need to go back to the stock rom before flash another custom rom. To try another custom roms he only needs to do the wipes and follow the instructions of the custom rom to install it.

My question is how to return to stock recovery? ( thanks in advance for any help ) also can I update my s3 via KIES while having this CWM recovery? ( notice that my phone now is unrooted )

leaked official 4.1.2 ????
just go sammobile website search and download for your country if you want
else flash any country version also okay
Just use kies, it's safer and easier...
About how much percent ODIN can fail in flashing rom to s3? Still didnt receive updates on KIES so i want to flash it via ODIN. Also how many time ddoes it take for ODIN to complete flashing??
Get the galaxy s3 toolkit. It includes odin and a copy of the stock recovery you can flash.
Flashing the recover with odin takes under a minute. Flashing a complete rom with odin takes about 5 minutes maximum.

0% fail if you follow the instruction
just need samsung kies (you need the usb driver, not kies because install samsung kies will automatically install the driver also)
and odin and the ROM (in .tar or .tarmd5, depends, confirm is end with .tar and put in pda
and take less than 10 minutes
flashed my s3 via mobile ODIN pro and it worked like a charm.....
Finally flashed my phone, but with mobile ODIN pro. My question is how to get the 4.2 camera on jelly bean 4.1.2 XXELKC. ? Thanx for all your help guys. ..
Flash a custom rom with the mod .
See Android Development Omega rom for one .
Or find the files and push them yourself to the custom rom .
Have a look in Themes and apps and see if its also posted as a standalone mod .

It depends upon the instructions for that rom you need to read them .
But CWM recovery flash is the norm for most custom roms .

Stock Recovery
If you just want the Stock Recovery for example for OTA, just flash the stockrecovery.tar via ODIN. Even I don't like using ODIN too much, but it's a million times better than Kies and easy to use. I personally recommend using ODIN on the PC if possible and avoid Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin is only if you don't have a PC or really need to do something on the go. It's a great app but don't use it all the time. And I'm not sure about this but I think by just flashing the Recovery you won't loose root nor Data, so you save a lot of time!
Only crappy thing with Odin is that it needs TAR and I don't know how to make those excpet with Toolbox. Does anybody know an easy way to make a flashable tar on windows without toolbox or cygwin (linux).

mega bass beat option
I've read about the "flashing mega bass beat option to s3" and it says
-- install zip from sdcard
-- chose zip from sdcard
-- wait for installation to complete
-- wipe cache partition
-- wipe dalvik cache
-- wipe fix permissions
The question is: what will happen if I didn't wipe the dalvik cache?
Do I really need to wipe it?

You have to change your kernel:

Tried flashing Philz kernel and it still failed to install the rom saying installation aborted.
i said ROM, not Kernel...
go back to a stock ICS or GB rom if you want via Odin, and then retry the JB

Do I need to do anything with my kernel?
You dont seem to know the basics pal.The stock rom he linked contains kernel/modem/rom so have a guess what happens when you flash them to your phone.

TBH we all have to find out the info at some point and this is my time to find out.
True, but you have to know the basics before flashing or else youll be the one with the non working phone.
Eg.If you had read a little bit about nand backups, you could have your phone back to how it was in 5 mins, before you messed with other roms.
So once you have your rooted phone to your liking you make a backup.Then if you try another rom and dont like it, boot into cwm and restore your backup in 5 mins.

It could be that the zip download is corrupted. Try re-downloading and flash again.
If not, flash Siyah v4 kernel via recovery or odin then try flashing desired rom again.

What aborted? Flashing the newly downloaded rom or flashing Siyah via ODIN and then trying to flash rom again?
If you cant flash rom after you have Siyah kernel installed then as mentioned above you will need to try and restock via ODIN.

The latest Android version for the S2 is unfortunately only 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. Follow the above post to get back to that.

Really?
1.) Perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery. If you have a custom recovery, also wipe cache and dalvik cache.
2.) Use Odin3 v1.85 (or any version really) to flash the UCMD8 tar.md5 file which you can download from the bottom of the page in the Download Repository.
3.) If you want to root, the Framaroot tool is the easiest.
4.) If you want custom recovery use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct version of AJK v4.9 kernel.

[Q] Install Philz cwm6 on I9100G

Hii!! :laugh:
I hope I am not making an error by posting here, I am a little new to here so be king please :angel:
I just want to install Philz CMW6 on my I9100G so I can install a kitkat custom ROM; I have been facing problems with this, I tried many ROMs ( CM11 unofficial, SuperNexus, SlimRom, OmniROM .. ) but I failed everytime, I realized that my CWM was not suitable. So I started looking for it I found a good thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 after installing the CWM it goes right installing ROMs but got stuck into bootloop.
So, if someone can give me the .tar.md5 file I can flash using Odin or maybe another thing to take care of.
Thank you
PS: I had CM 10.2
Running official stock ROM : JB 4.1.2

Try this steps:
1. Use the method in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365701) to flash JB stock + root. note that it's better to flash the kernel via recovery after it's on your external sd-card or sideload with adb. This way you don't get the triangle warning and no binary count.
2. Download the kitkat compatible CWM from here: (http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/recovery/CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip)
3. Flash the CWM and reboot to recovery (advanced -> reboot recovery)
4. Flash your Kitkat rom (with all the necessary wipes of course )

I tried this but I got stuck on boot again, and knowing that the CWM that you gived don't work :/ ( my model is I9100G I think that this is the reason ).
I have read somewhere that maybe the wipe data / factory reset is the source of problem. I am not sure where I am doing wrong
thanks
