Hi. I have rooted my S3, to see how it works with PS3 joystick (i am not too impressed)
I have rooted successfully via odin flash guide, but now i get strange problem.
Every now and then, when i want to turn on dispay, it works and show me that clock and then when i swipe to unluck, the phone doesnt respond.
When i power again, display dimms, and nothing happen. I cant unlock my phone, I need to hold power button to reboot, and than it is normal till i lock the screen and want to turn it on again.
My question is, how can i solve it, and if i can't, how can i get everything back to stock and normal?
Try turn off ripple effect in setting, see how it goes.

First of all, try disabling lockscreen entirely.
Then try performing a full wipe. If nothing changes, flash stock firmware via Odin. If this haven't helped, root your phone, reset bootloader flashing counter via TriangleAway, then flash full stock firmware and make a warranty claim.

As i thought, now, without changing anything, the problem goes away. But i think it will came back
I forgot one big thing!
!!!! When i first flashed PDA, i flashed it with something CF, not insecure kernel (MY FAULT). Then i got this problem but i can say that i couldnt use my phone. Only just after reboot. Then i flashed insecure kernel, al now problem is still here but it is not so often, but i must fix this.
So maybe the problem is because i flashed wrong file, so "bad" files are still here?
Is there an easy fix for this?

My problem is back, so i tried this 2 first things. To desable lockscreen entirely, and to turn off ripple effect. No, it is still not working..
Start from scratch again. Backup your data, flash original firmware with odin, root it again, triangle away if you want.

Ok now, here is my next question.
I flash original firmware form here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 Is that right or not?
Than i know now hot to root, and i think this triangle away is easy too.
And one more question, which firmware is the newest and best? This XXALF2; Firmware Info PDA: XXALF2 Phone: XXLF2 Date: 05/06/2012
I remeber that i had OTA this month so 6th month is pretty old IMO :S
You can go to sammobile.com to find the latest firmware for your country. Then follow the instructions as in the link you posted above.

Are custom roms for s3 better than original? I had HTC Hero for almost 3 years and i had custom roms for it but it was only because i wanted it to be faster and smoother
For me, yes custom roms are better than original stock rom.

I have rooted my galaxy s3..so how will i get the upgrade to jb when samsung make it available ..does i will get it normally by downloading from software update in phone..or i have to do that manually using cable and other computer programe....
Another question..how can i completly unroot my phone..and back it as i bought?!!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If you've rooted your phone, and installed CWM....just go installed custom JB ROM
If your region doesn't have JB provided yet, you will not get it officially....
That's not purpose of having root on your phone

Flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com using ODIN.
This will also unroot your phone.
If you have the option to update your phone, and I think you have, just click to check your software version, do it over wifi, so I've done to me, you'll have official jb, un rooted.
So..that will earase all data?!! Or it will keep it..apps and all thing
And link plz for the last firmware in egypt..i have found 4.1.1 for egypt on sammobile..but csn't download it..is that one ok?!and link for it plz

I rooted my stock 4.0.4 and then OTA updates wouldn't function at all. I've found that updating through Kies via USB cable overrides this. I couldn't try this with my own phone as I already flashed a stock JB rom, but tried it with my mom's and worked perfectly well.
U have upgrade roored ics to jb via kies with out flash stock one first?"!!

Hello, please, is it possible to download another country's official firmware from Sammobile and install on my Galaxy SII? Will I also be able to get official updates (like jelly bean 4.1.2) and install them in my country whenever updates are available in that country since i'm using that country's firmware?
I am still stocked with Android 2.3.5 and I really need to upgrade it to Android 4.0.4.
If it is possible to do so, please recommend a country from sammobile.com that I should download and install the firmware (preferably android 4.0.4) to my Galaxy SII. Thanks a lot.

try Kies for an update. Almost all countries have been upgraded to 4.0.3. and please don't install 4.0.4 it has got a super brickbug.
First of all, I really appreciate your quick response and advice.
When I used to try and update via Kies it tells me I'm using the latest update + I live in Nigeria and the latest update for Galaxy SII in Nigeria on Sammobile is android 2.3.5.
I recently upgraded my phone to the unofficial Galaxy SII's jelly bean, after I noticed a few irritating bugs, I decided to switch back to my stock 2.3.5. But there is one problem though, the baseband version is still I9100XXLS6 (the unofficial jelly bean baseband version), therefore, my Kies application cannot recognise it, it always says " Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies" when I connect it to Kies. How can I change it back to the original baseband version to be able to use Kies?
There are pictures to confirm this. Thanks

those few irritating bugs have been fixed by different developers, you can try a rom based on XXLSJ, which have these bugs fixed. Or you can even try Siyah Kernel v6 http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
How did you reverted back to Gingerbread. The correct is, Flash Official firmware download from www.sammobile.com with ODIN.
I reverted back to gingerbread using the backup I made previously before updating to the unofficial jelly bean. The backup still has the correct baseband, but I don't know why the unofficial jelly bean baseband version is still here. Do you think downloading and installing that from Sammobile will solve the baseband version issue? Thanks

yes, flashing with ODIN will fix it, but it will wipe your current OS. Or else just flash your pervious modem with ODIN or through CWM.
Ok. Is it advisable to download another country's firmware? For instance one of India's Android 4.0.3 since you said 4.0.4 has issues that might cause break. Thanks

to fix baseband issue, just flash the modem which you had previously.
yes you can install 4.0.3 from any country. Just change the CSC with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Alright, thanks for your help. I really appreciate.

Hi, I downloaded the official Android 2.3.5 (I9100XWKJ1_I9100OJVKJ1_I9100XXKI4_HOME.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll) from Sammobile. It's quite different from the usual CODE, CSC and MODEM files from other firmwares. Please, how can i install this on my Galaxy SII using Odin? I've searched the web for that but all I saw was how to install the leaked version of Android 2.3.5.
NB: I downloaded that of Nigeria. Thanks

Sorry, I forgot to ask if I must be rooted before installing the official Android 2.3.5. Thanks

Yes. You will have to do a factory reset from the recovery, otherwise you will get stuck on the Samsung logo.

Hello, I would like to ask something.
I knew that recently Samsung has released 4.3 update for Samsung Galaxy SIII International Version. The 4.3 update hasn't reach my country yet. I would like to know is it possible for me to flash another country's official frimware? Is there any negative effects?
Meanwhile, if I flash the latest stock rom back to my phone, will it be unrooted?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes, you can flash a rom from another country -which includes a modem for another country. If the modem is unsuitable you will lose signal strength or even all connection.
Of course if you flash an unrooted stock rom then your phone will be unrooted, that's the whole point.
Unless you are confident in flashing modems and kernels I would not advise using 4.3 yet -it isn't reliable unless you can replace both.
Thanks for the quick reply
In that case, is it possible to flash just the ROM without the modem/baseband? (SamMobile ROMs come with seperate PDA, Modem)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If your current baseband is EMGx or later then yes, you can flash just the rom.
Alright.
Thanks for your help

Lots of reasons you don't get it, usual problem is modified status. Have to be fully stock, unrooted and flash count of zero.

You can use TriangleAway to reset the binary counter to zero.
And by fully stock he means getting a stock unmodified image of your device's firmware from a website like www.sammobile.com and flashing it to your phone through Odin.
Oh thankyou...now I got you thanxx...I did custom rom few days ago..I didn't like cm10.2 and I couldn't even return to stock rom bcoz I forgot to backup stock rom...so I found stock rom from trueandroid website for my country vietman...I flash that stock rom by odin...now according to you first I should go for triangleaway and again flash that stock rom by odin will give me ota update? ???
