korean to international - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there i was wondering is there any chance of changing the s3 korean firmware to european .
Next week i'm getting a korean s3 but i really want to change the firmware
Now I have a s2 that was 250s and then i changed it to i9100
Well i googled and searched in xda forums but i didn't found anything about it
Is it possible to change the firmware with flashing the korean kernel for it . Or the radio chip stuff is like mars and venus

No, because your phone doesn't have the same hardware with International one.

Yeah, just download an europian firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com by searching "I9300" and flash it with Odin. You need to sign up to download the firmware.

no pit file needed ?? working fine?

Sorry, messed up, if your model number isn't I9300 it will potentially brick it.

One more question it will be EMMC bug or just firmware bug?

M440S can ron i9300 roms and kernels.

Adding to above, M440S can flash I9300 Roms provided you convert the kernel. There is a Korean s3 user thread so look over the re

That is not an excuse. That thread is big enough to be seen even within a "big" forum..

True . Still I bought gt-i9300 lol so that is not a problem anymore . I have a question again . What is the advantages of having branded s3 between unbranded s3
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Not much? If you're rooted anyway. Not gonna get updates early if you're branded. But custom roms sort that out.
No noticeable difference when it comes to actual usage

Again a personal question . I used CF-root for stock kernel on my gt-i9100 because syiah , philz seems to lag . Did on my i9300 too . I understand that they have more battery life , but overclocking them leads to fast battery drain , is that right? So i prefer staying stock. Well i don't play with my phone , i play with my gtab 7500 more

If you don't need the extra performance, no need to overclock. I did it for the heck of it then realised I don't actually need it so went back to stock. Overclocking does lead to faster drain but some kernels also provide under volt support so they kind of negate each other in terms of battery.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

So undervolting could save battery in theory? I heard it destroys the battery even the phone in whole .
Heard too much stories of dead phone because of undervolting and overclocking. Because of idiots putting overclocking and undervolting on maximum. But they just dont know what are they doing.
Thanks a lot . Sorry for so much bothering

Question again . If i undervolt my device should i do battery calibiration or just leave it?

Battery calibration is a hoax .
Battery calibrates itself over a week or so .

no need to calibirate then thanks ! In mongolian phone shops we have a chinese battery with more mhA(like+300) and i have tested so far . The charging goes approximatly 6 hours when the original takes 4 can it damage phone particles . I have to assure undervolting goes without problem . From what volt should i start . I m asking because i work in mining geological team and the reason i bought this phone is the gps glonass

What Rom are you on?
Are you rooted?
Are you overclocked?
Are you undervolted?
(Answer yes to one of the 2 last questions and you probably found the reason)

No you can not possibly do that! Your device is completely different from the galaxy s3 for various reasons, by flashing a rom of other smartphone the only result will brick your device

When used in reference to consumer electronics, a "brick" describes an electronic device such as a smart phone, game console, router, or tablet computer that owing to a serious misconfiguration, corrupted firmware or a hardware problem, can no longer function. The term derives from the vaguely cuboid shape of many electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) and the suggestion that the device can only function as a large, heavy object.

Sure hold on here whilst I flash the latest .ipsw file from Apple. I doubt that will brick my phone, after all, they are both smartphones!
But Is there any rom which is the same as the S3 firmware and needs no rooting

I dont think you are intelligent enough to do much with a phone.
But at least your next topic cant be as stupid as your first.
The one sought in the forum, there are custom rom leaving his appearance with the S3 S2.
Now this is really determined to install the rom S3 in S2, would you donate to your phone than using it with a paperweight in the future.

Check under Galaxy SII Android Development Section.

New to the S3... Kernel question

Hi guys, I'm new to the S3 and having use the S2 for over a year and a half excited about the S3 I just couldn't resist on buying now. On my S2 I've always used the Phenom kernels as they've always been great battery savers but after reading a little bit about some sudden death thing that the phenom kernel doesn't have a fix for I was wondering if it was a wise idea to stay away from flashing phenom? And If so then what kernel would you recommend I flash so I avoid killing my new phone with this sudden death thing?
All the latest custom kernels have the SDS fix. Also flash Philz recovery touch to be realy safe.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I'm sure I read that phenom didn't have this fix, am I wrong about that then?
That is possible mate. I did not use that kernel yet. But siyah, boeffla, perseus and more are safe.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks mate. Which out of those kernels would you recommend? Just basically for battery saving and pre rooted.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I am using Boeffla right now an had good batterylife so far.

slow lock-unlock response

Hey.. I have a samsung galaxy sIII international.. i have a custom rom installed (cyanogenmod 10.1) latest nightly...running on siyah kernel 1.8.9
So since i installed cyanogenmod when i click the power button the device dosn't lock immediately it takes like 1.5 second to lock...same as the unlock..everything else on this rom is fully working and great.. i just want to solve that problem :/
Please help me and thanks
Please Don't be like "search in xda you will find the answer" because i did that
thanks..
I have experienced something similar, but only in unlock screen, my solution was change to a more aggressive governor like Luztactiveq

Sadly, yes, aggressive governor means less battery life...
But as I have 2 additional batteries, so it doesn't concern me...
