Hello everyone I just bought a new phone which is galaxy s3 , I read that my model may suffer the sudden death problem.
The device is new from the box and it is the 16GB model.
Its unrooted and running android 4.1.2
More information about it:
Baseband version: I9300BOLK3
Kernel version : 3.0.31 - 742798 [email protected] -111#1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 22 17:04:04 KST 2012
Build number: JZO54K.I9300XXELLA
Sould I be afraid of audswn death or any proccesor bugs ?
check the SDS threads in General, they have all the info you need
samsung claimed the latest update has fixed sudden death issue,so far I do not see anyone who updated to latest firmware complain about sudden death.
wait, was there an official statement? got a link?
depends on how damage ur s3 had taken and if ur on the safe kernels and recoveries
If you are on XXELLA and haven't rooted and changed kernel then as far as anyone is aware you are protected.....although there has been no official confirmation, but analysis by the hard working devs suggests you're safe.
If you decide to root then make sure you install a recovery that has the fix(most of them now) if you change recovery - likewise with kernel, if you change that.
Thanks alot for helping so i understood that i am protected , i didnt root / change anyting all is stock and i am on XXELLA is that right ?

Hi,
I watched the noob video when registering, heard that you should ask in the thread relating to your issue, well i wasn't allowed as a noob to post in that thread because i had below 10 posts, which makes the video telling me to do that stupid.
Anyway, i wanted to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 ( this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 )
But i don't understand which kernel to download for my phone cause non of them match my kernel when i look in my phone.
This is the kernel my phone has : [email protected] #2
Which kernel root package do i need to download? Is this KE2, KE7, KE8 or KF1??
I have no idea, i'm very confused.
(Reason i want to root is to mount smb shares with cifsmanager, and only that.)
I'm realizing my version is XWKDG which no one else on the entire internet has, this is probably because i turned in my phone for repair just after 2 days after recieving it due to some technical errors, i'm guessing they gave me some firmware no one else has?
Can i just use the KE2 and root with that or the XWKDD? Honestly, try google XWKDG and you'll find nothing. Everyone who is aksing about it is me, it feels lonely.
Check your link again, there is a Kernel that matches your slightly, the: XWKDG1
Hi, Im noob and I have similar problem.
I have bought 8 days old, second hand galaxy s 2 that is rooted and I want to unroot it. Problem is I dont know which cf root to use (there are 3 diferent codes XXKE7, XWKDD, XWKF3). And also which is the stock/original ROM???
Here is the info
Baseband: I9100XXKE7
Kernel ver: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] 103 #2
Build num:Gingerbread.XWKF3
Thanx
u should look I9100 in ur kernel ver so urs is XWKDD
Thank you, thank you, thank you...
I am still trying to find the thank you button...
Can someone explain more about kernel? What will happen if I flash a Rom with different Kernel than the one on my phone?
Also Can i flash a different kernel, or i should only look for ROMS that have my kernel only.
I have been looking for weeks over the forum but i couldn't find a helpful explainaition for Kernels.
Thank you. i know there are many experts on this forum that can help us.
I need a hand as well please. I am new to all of this but I have read quite a bit so far on rooting my GS2. The issue I am having is that my when I go to
settings > about phone > kernel version it only reads 2.6.35.7 There is nothing after that to denote which CF-root I need to be using. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Model Number : SAMSUNG-SGH_I777
Andriod Version : 2.3.6
Baseband Version : I777UCKK6
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.7
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.UCKK6

Meatness: I had the same issue. If you install "cpu spy" (find it on the Market), it gives you more information about your CPU, including the full kernel information.
Hope that helps!

You'd probably be slaughtered alive for posting this question. This is xda, mate. Search, read and try before posting questions. And even if you do have to post a question, find the correct thread for doing so.
Since you asked, look through this thread for all your rooting requirements. Me and probably a million others like you have read that and then managed to root their phones following the steps mentioned there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Dont forget to thank the contributor.
Yours being 4.0.4 theres a problem with an EMMC bug bricking the phone. again, read the forums thoroughly before going ahead.
Just flash a pre-rooted kernel.
I guess there is a thread discussing about rooting.

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
I have the same setup as you so I think you can look into my thread which i started yesterday and Jokesy took the time and answered all my questions there including linking to a guide (thank you Jokesy, fantastic). I did not use Odin, but i used CWM Recovery Touch.
After following Jokesy link i rooted my phone, i installed the latest siyah S2 kernel (no beta), i also installed Titanium backup and purchased the PRO key. After that i followed an external link of services and programs that i could safely freeze/delete.
It shall be said that i have been using SGS2 since last spring/summer and this was my first time modifying anything with the phone.
Here is my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841641
Frank
For simplest root just use method 1 from 1st guide in my signature. No CF-Root, no CWM needed. Just copy one file to external SD card and update from stock recovery.
- Thanks for the contributions... - there's a lot to take in -
- This 'Bricking Bug' is something of a concern... - so I'll be doing some more reading before I choose whether to proceed with rooting my SGS2 -
- Hopefully things will be simpler with the Nexus 7... -
- Understanding the various versions, terminology & methods etc. is giving me something of a head-ache today -
- But thanks again... -

different basband?
Hello devs,
I ran into a problem few hours ago and I am trying to work my way around and through it. I honestly did, I have already lost patience and feel like quitting life itself. I wiped my phone, installed a different BOOTLOADER, different MODEM, different CODE and different CSC. I did all this to install a new ROM, I didn't like the changes so I went for my backup and restored it. Everything was successful, except that the Baseband version hasn't changed at all.
What is a baseband? Does it matter if I installed a different one (it is supposed to be XXLPS-I9100)?
Thanks
Baseband and modem are pretty much the same thing mate. You don't need to have a particular one. If you find your signal isn't as good as it should/used to be, you can change your baseband at a later stage. It doesn't matter if you stick to the one you have. It won't spring up at night and chop your phone into two bits

Hey i have a problem my samsung galaxy s2 is an indian version 4.0.4 and its baseband version is I9100 DDLPB so its ok to root it with another baseband verison?
I have got a Galaxy S II . I bought it around a year ago . It was using gingerbread . Over the year I have used "I9100XXLPQ" and "I9100DXLP7" .
Yesterday I have Downloaded "GT-I9100 - I9100XWLPX" that I found here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487" and rooted it from here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270" .
And guess what ? I am reading all about eMMC Bug Now !
Now I am reading that it is a possibility that I may hit the eMMC Bug somehow but I don't know what I needs to do to avoid it . First I read it here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242" Which doesn't say LPX exactly and the log from PhilZ Root "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270" Looked promising . But I have downloaded "got brickbug ?" app and it says : DANGER ! This eMMC chip is *Known* to have the brick bug !
XWLPX is based on android 4.0.4 and it is a lot faster that those previous 2 firmwares that I had and I am loving it but I yet to test the battery .
I believe you have to do a "nandroid" something to hit the bug and I don't know exactly what it is . What I usually do is Download the Firmware . Load it as PDA in odin3 v1.85 and click start . And something about CWM recovery but I know this much that it comes with some roots and I had it before but the new root doesn't install an app for it called CWM Clockwork mod (I think) . and let me add I did a factory reset and sd wipe when flasing from gingerbread to ICS but not from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 . What I understand is I don't brick my phone unless I mess with some sort of stuff which is ok for now but I want to try Jellybean if i found a good one or an official release . Correct me if I'm wrong .

the bug itself is trickered by using cwm recovery in 4.0.4 SO PLEASE DONT DO THAT
1.TO AVOID IT: you have to flash a custom kernel(like siyah kernel or someelse)
if you do that you are in no danger because the brickbug is removed in custom kernels
2. to flash the kernel use Odin not cwm
3. you are on stock kernel now and its dagerous is have the brickbug
I believe you just have to flash a custom ROM to make 'sure' that you wont face any eMMC brickbug.
There's an entire thread with info on that...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Solved
Thank you for response ...
I have successfully installed siyah kernel which It removes the bug . There really should be a Serious alert when downloading a ROM like that in its download page . right now I have flashed CyanogenMod 10 and then flashed back siyah kernel for dual boot . Can't believe I lived with those crappy officials for a year . However battery Life is not impressive ... But everyone says give it a little time ...

Hi Guys,
It's been more than a year since i purchased my Samsung galaxy S3 and almost the same amount of time since i have done any modifications on any android device.

1. Why Slow Speed?
2. If a stock s3 is upgradable to 4.3 then why is my current version 4.1.2 even when though i have tried the software upgrade via wifi and Kies. Can it be upgraded through any other means?
3. How can i root it without bricking it
appreciate an expert opinion on this.

1. don't know, maybe after upgrade and full wipe it is solved (backup data before)
2. maybe in your country an upgrade is not available at the moment. you can also upgrade with odin. download a 4.3 sammy rom and flash it through odin. how to is in the general section - stickies
3. again stickies. alternative: choose a prerooted stock firmware or a custom sammy rom and flash it through a custom recovery (recovery has also to be flashed threough odin e.g. philz)

Slow speed as in memory is usually used upto 80%, hardly any applications are running in the background, too much lagging, applications take a lot of time to open etc.
This also happens even when i have turned my sync off and have limited the applications to at most 2 process at a time.

PhilZ-cwm6 which version
Hi,
I have a samsung gallaxy S2 and I am rather confused which version of PhilZ-cwm6 kernel to use. I am wanting to use the most current version possible and I am not sure what version that is nor kernel code. I am wanting to root stock android. When I flashed from stock ICS to JB I used the following offical rom XFC-I9100XWLSS-20130817002141.zip and see below for attached screenshot of my phone details, there are differences in the kernel numbers which is causing confusion. I hope that is all the info that is required. Thank you so much in advance for your reply.
hi all
i need to know which version of kernel best for rom >> I9100XWLSD << ?
I have a GS2 I9100XWLSW, suffering the EMMC brick bug. Still with original kernel, and recovery. Rooted with Framaroot.
I'd want to install Philz in order to install either Omnirom or Cyanogen.
I have seen in the Philz's original thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31310884&postcount=3 ) the link to my PDA version (v5.06.1 ). However on goo.im ( http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100 ) I can find a higher updated version (v6.48.4), however this one has no description assuring me that's the correct file for PDA LSW. Is it, also considering my EMMC bug? Or maybe it's just the recovery, without the kernel? If that's the point, then WHERE I can find the latest kernel+recovery for my phone?
Also, which install method should I prefer: update through the zip file, or flash through Odin? First one seems easier, but I heard that it may have problems installing certain Cyanogen versions from the Philz's temporary recovery. I'd want to install Lollipop from either Omnirom or Cyano as soon as they become reasonably stable.. also, Philz v5.06.1 comes with CWM 6.0.3.2, but isn't CWM 6.0.4.4+ required to install KitKat or higher?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I also noticed that some zip files are marked LSW-XEU, while others are LSW-OXX.. how do I know which is mine? Actually the complete details of my phone are:
PDA: I9100XWLSW
PHONE: I9100XXMS3

I have read how to root etc. but get stuck at the first hurdle as I have no idea what kernel I need.
Phone is as new so never rooted before.
I would really appreciate any help from you guys.
Regards

Hi,
What you are looking for is the kernel code in the rom build. On mine I can see it under "About device" at the end of build number - I9100XWLSH, it is the XWLSH part you are looking for. You can also see it if you download terminal emulator from the playstore. Just run the terminal and type getprop and press enter. Scroll up until you find [ro.build.PDA]: this is the rom. Again it is the last part of this you need. Hope this helps

I'm not sure I understand, but if you are talking about the stock rom, you should get the latest version for your region. If you want a rooted version of stock I would choose one that has a modified kernel available from the ones @Phil3759 developed. That is, the ones under the latest version in the main thread

The listed files are not kernels, they are updated recoveries. To root your stock rom, you need to find the the kernel below the latest recoveries and match the rom to the kernel code as described in the main thread. You can then flash the latest recovery, then reboot into recovery if you want to for example flash a kitkat or lollipop rom. The older recovery embedded in the modified kernel won't be compatible with these later android versions

Download Philz Kernel in .tar format and instal it over Odin 3.0.7 ie than whwn boot up, download on ur internal or better external sd card kernel and recovery(sometimes it is the same one file) and restart ur mob in recovery and instal that new/old recovery which u previosly got before boot loop or bricking... than reinstal ur system or if u have backup just restore it,. Important part is that u need same Recovery u did before U braked up Ur system... Ask 4 more

" Hello,
Unfortunately, as of this time, the main portions of goo.im have been disabled. Due to a finance issue, our CDN account has been suspended, and all files stored on it are effectively non-accessible. Due to some RL issues on my(Alexander)'s part, once goo started actively losing money 6 months ago, I had changed jobs a bit to help support goo. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough combined with some other issues that crept up on me. Due to this, I'm formally shutting down Goo. There is an offer in to take over the files and hosting from a generous sponsor, however, until the financial issues are sorted out, they are unable to adsorb Goo. It's been my pleasure to serve files for you all for the past couple of years, and I wish everyone good luck into the future.
