Hi,
I have posted the same problem and you can check the answers i got here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097322&highlight=4+0+4
But actually I am a beginner and I found this hard to do.
Good Luck, and if you found an easy solution please tell me
We went thru this already, why make a new thread?
Brand new phones shouldn't freeze on its own just like that. Either it's faulty or there's something screwed with the ROM.
Here you can find 4.0.3 ROMs in order to avoid brick bug (remember to flash a safe kernel before you try it).

Hi all,
I am trying to use one of these new ICS ROM from my current 2.3.6 ROM and every time the install fails and aborts. The install instructions for these new ICS roms seems the same, you load Clockwork and install. I'm sure I'm missing something stupid so any help is appreciated
Considering your other posts appear to be in the SGH-I777 forum, and this is the I9100 forum, take a guess at what you might be doing wrong.
Well seeing as my current boot screen shows I9100 i thought this was appropriate

Brilliant logic, love it.
Do you indeed have an I777?
P.S. Sticking an Apple bootscreen on your device doesn't turn it into an iPhone.
if ur on gb then simply do a factory wipe and install any stock ics tro odin,an always remember to backup ur efs folder....

Is that a custom ICS flashed via CWM or stock Samsung ICS flashed via Odin .
What is the model code under the battery ,

the issue appears to be a signature verification error when i look closer at why the installation failed?
Putting a question mark a question does not make.
I'll ignore you since you ignored me.
Im not ignoring you i was driving to Cleveland for my sisters graduation. and Im trying to answer these all from my phone. should i give you priority so you can rip me again cuz i don't know as much about this stuff as you?
You know more than me, your model number for example.
oinkylicious is clearly asking you if you have a i9100 or a different device. If people with a different phone flashes a i9100 rom, it will either not boot or may be lucky to see a i9100 boot screen, but it does not indicate they have a i9100.
As said above check under the battery and see what it says. It would be best to do this, before you end up bricking your device due to flashing roms that will not work on your device.
By CWM it's very easy, but unhide your model before 9100 or 9100G
2.3.6 rooted ??
what is the SD-Ext size ?
yes it is an I777. It is rooted. It has an 8gig external card. I've had this rom on there for several months and it was starting to flake recently plus I have been waiting for more ICS roms to come out to avoid bug issues. As I had said earlier I only posted to this forum because the opening boot screen said I9100 which I attributed to the rom that was on there.

So you know you have an I777... well, I777 and I9100 are similar enough that firmwares won't completely brick your phone if you flash one meant for the other model, but they are different enough that things won't work right. Like the fact that the I777 has 4 capacitive keys, and the I9100 has 2 capacitive keys and 1 hardware key.
So I'm not sure why you thought flashing an I9100 firmware would work for you or solve whatever problem you were having... but it won't. You should be only flashing I777 ROMs and firmwares.
Hi All,
i have used my galaxy 2 for months without any problem, but after an update to official ics 4.0.3 by kies, sometimes i was finding phone on pin request, even just out of my pockets without use any application.
After this i have decided to do a deep cleaning, and install official lph rom, and today i have discovered i still have the problem. I wonder how it can be even on a completly new and clean rom...
Did it ever happen to anybody?
Any idea about what can be wrong?
Thanks to everyone!
Hi all ,
Just received an OTA update on my international version of Samsung Galaxy s3.
New update shows JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ1 in phone information menu.
What I'm worried is that no official information is available on any website or any forum. I've tried it everywhere on the net but found nothing.
Can someone please guide what's going on with my gs3.
I'm using gs3 in Pakistan and not under any operator contract so things appear for my phone as international version. Most of the previous updates were pretty much documented or someone had discussed them oddly , this newest possible release is 4.1.1 and changed plenty of things.
Any info will be highly helpful.
Best Regards,
Busyboy

I installed this new firmware, my SIII became so laggy! I just want to go back to the previous version
Anyone who knows why this version is so laggy?
I have updated my phone to this version then all of sudden no calls coming through. People telling my my phone is unavailable when infact its switched on.
I then discovered that when I turn off the mobile data the calls do come through. I am not sure if there is a setting I have not picked up. I have tried GSM only and Dual Mode but same problem. Would this my phone, Network Provider ot what. I have to switch off my data now.
How do I revert to the previous version?

Hey Guys,
I am having the same problem. The day my Samsung Galaxy S3 got updated with Samsung's JB update, the performance has gone down.
The phone really lags in opening the keyboard, switching between Apps and the list goes on.
I am looking for some links to restore my ICS again.
Does any one know how ??
does anyone know the complaint email id for reporting Samsung G S3 ?? :cyclops:
It seems like there are quite a few people experiencing problems with this JB update? I myself experienced it for a while but now it seems ok again??? I don't know what or where or why though? It seems strange that Samsung would release an 'update' without making sure all glitches were ironed out? Surely they must be looking into a solution? I know a lot of people on here say 'flash a new rom' but to someone like me, even the 'easy' tutorials are a completely different language & seem so daunting!!

same problem
Hi all ,
Just received an OTA update on my international version of Samsung Galaxy s3.
New update shows JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ1 in phone information menu.
I don't know what is going on???
from Egypt and has no contract with any operators !!!
I need help to upgrade to 4.1.2!!!
If I use Rom for other baseband I9300XXELLA , will it harm????
As you can obviously see I'm new here to xda-developers and still don't know my way around the forums and going easy on me will certainly help. Without further ado I would like to ask some questions about Samsung S2 Jelly bean (4.1.2).
I have Ice Cream Sandwhich (4.0.4) stock phone; never been rooted and I do not wish to start now. I want to upgrade to Jelly Bean (JB) but I've heard a lot of complaints of battery not lasting for more than 8 hours or more and phone freezing frequently. Is there anybody still experiencing this problem? (I know it's a bit late asking this question since JB was released months ago I just want to make sure).
I will be updating the phone firmware via Kies.
One more thing how do I make sure that my Samsung S2 is genuine? I'm not keen on putting my IMEI on the internet to check if it's genuine but if I have no choice then I will probably do it. I've also heard that the 8 digit on your IMEI will prove it? Like if you have 00 - Genuine factory.
Thanks in advance.
Read the jb threads, you heard wrong. You can get up to 5 hours screen time or even 2 days out of your battery on JB.
Everyone is gonna tell you to flash it via Odin but I guess you rather do it via kies, which is fine.
IMEI has got nothing to do with your device in terms of originality.
If kies says it's an I9100 chances are it's the real thing.

Any chance that you could give me the link to JB threads? I'm new here and don't know where to go.
Why are they going to recommend Odin instead of Kies? Is there any difference? Performance, bugs, etc...?
You can find them in the general forum.
Flashing via odin is just fun as you can flash any ROM you want (either branded or unbranded).

I recently tried to downgrade my Galaxy S3 from Jelly Bean 4.1.2 to ICS 4.04 using Odin and a ROM file downloaded from Sammobile.
The installation was succesful and after doing a factory reset and clearing cache the phone booted up ok. It connected to my network provider for several seconds and then disconnected.
After several attempts at this process using different files, I noticed that the IMEI of my phone was no longer correct. At this point I thought I had bricked my phone by somehow corrupting the IMEI.
In an attempt to put it right, I reloaded Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and my phone now works fine again. Please can someone advise what I am doing wrong with this process and why the IMEI gets corrupted as this is obviously why the network rejects my phone when I install ICS.
If you would look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-galaxy-s3-modem-radio-collection-t1740061 you will found this link for ICS ROMs: https://www.wuala.com/UpInTheAir/SGS3/Modems/I9300/ICS/?key=n0KVwtIMZPE8 . From here, select CWM folder if you want to flash the modem via recovery, or the Odin one if you want to flash it with Odin. Choone one of the file, download it, and then flash it via the method you want.
QuickQuestion: Why would you wanna use ICS when it has been released 4.3 for our device, and 4.4 it is said to be released in the following weeks (Hope so! ). If you want, you can answer, if not, it'ss not a big problem
Thanks for the reply. Is this the reason my IMEI is corrupted when I flash a PDA from Sammobile? I am new to using Odin etc and followed the instructions on the website.
There are some features I liked in ICS that were removed in Jelly Bean, such as direct access to words in the custom dictionary and the 3 x 4 keypad that was removed in 4.3. I already downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.2 but wanted to try ICS 4.04. So far I can install it but cannot get a network connection for more than a few seconds.
#EDIT: After further research this problem appears to be an issue with the phone's EFS data. I have now used EFS Professional to back up this important area. What I don't know is can I restore this backed up EFS data to correct the problem I'm having when I downgrade Jelly Bean 4.1.2 to ICS 4.04?

If you have a 16GB s3, u might want to keep JB, 16GB ICS S3 has the possibility for sudden death. But, i too am considering going back to ICS, Jellybean is a joke, it lags way more than ICS does. Trying to force the system to constantly render at 60FPS is hardware demanding and was probably a temporary approach. Its unfortunate that ICS ROMS are no longer available for download. Also, i doubt kitkat would be released for our phone.
My S3 is 16Gb and was originally shipped with Jelly Bean. I watched a Youtube video comparing ICS and Jelly Bean and ICS was faster responding in virtually every test, despite the guy doing it being pro Jelly Bean.
I don't know much about the 'sudden death' problem with ICS on 16Gb models but from what little I've read, I thought this was more of a hardware issue due to defective memory chips and/or main boards?
My S3 updated to Jelly Bean 4.3 last December and I wasn't happy because they had removed the 3x4 Samsung keypad that I like to use. I tried a number of different keypads from Play Store but in the end decided to downgrade to 4.1.2, which went without a hitch.
My attempts to do the same with ICS 4.04 did not go so well and I'm still not sure why the IMEI was corrupted or even more surprising, that it was corrected when I re flashed 4.1.2

Not sure exactly how the sudden death works, i just know it affects 16GB s3 variants. I know the video you are referring to, i watched the exact same one. I think most people got caught up in the hype of JB and forgot how good ICS was.

The Youtube video made me laugh as it was supposed to encourage you to want the Jelly Bean upgrade, when all it did was make me want to run ICS even more! I tried a friend's Galaxy S2 with ICS the other day and it was smoother and faster responding than my S3.
I hope to have another go at getting it working but also I am concerned I probably came close to bricking my handset last time because I do not know enough about the process. This wouldn't be good as I still have another year on my network contract to go.
Do post here if you succeed in downgrading to 4.0.4 as I am also looking for it but it's not working
And best of luck
Unless you have a backup of your efs folder, from before firmware EMG4 then you cannot downgrade.
EFS format was changed at EMG4 to v2, earlier roms are incompatible with v2 and later roms incompatible with v1 so IMEI will be corrupt.

Thanks for the info.
My S3 was shipped with EMG4, so unfortunately I don't have any efs data that I can use with earlier ICS firmwares. I was trying in vain to load BLG8 but it just resulted in a corrupted IMEI and no network.
Unless there is some way of converting saved v2 efs data to the earlier format, then I will have to stick with the Android version I have.
Why are you not trying 4.3 or custom rom mate? My god if your phone is giving u problem u should try to tame it. Very smooth, the nb6 firmware. Or at least let yourself try a custom rom for instance temasek.

I have tried the Official Samsung 4.3 release but didn't like that they removed the 3x4 Samsung Keypad, which I prefer to use. I've tried custom firmwares on my old phone (Galaxy Ace) but never had much success with installing them or getting things to work properly after.
My S3 is still under contract for another year and my skills in this area of modifying are beginner level at best, so I plan to do a lot more reading on here and a lot less messing around with the phone firmware until I know more about it.

Your phone lag is because of Samsung bloatwares, get rid of it and you would be fine. Temporarily suggestions would be hang on 4.12 and try greenify. U don't need root but root would give you he best out of it. Look up cf autoroot and begin your journey.
