Excellent advice, random stranger!
hello there, i also used to have an ACE, and was using it when my S3 had SDS lol ..
first thing to do is check if your emmc is safe, you can use this

No. Sane Chip.
So what does all this means ? i haven't run any test tho.. can you guys tell me more about this

This means your chip is safe. And doesn't have the problematic emmc chip.

just to clear it out " VTU00M 0XF1 " is the affected chip only ?

my apologies!didn't realised i posted in development forum. i was looking for solutions, toolkits and roms and Q&A sections all opened in chrome, so i wasn't looking which tab(forum) i was in. sorry about this!!!
but could anyone shed some light on the problem?please?
It sounds like the sds problem so a visit to Samsung services to replace motherboard is probably only solution

Download a pit file for i9300 and use that. Then repartition in ODIN with a full firmware( one that contains all partitions )
It should work, provided you are still able to enter Download Mode!

Suggest you read the thread, it has been reported, the OP has acknowledged he made a mistake, there is no reason why people can't offer assistance to the poor guy.........however I can think of plenty of reasons why people shouldn't add posts like yours.....namely forum rules

True! Yes he made a mistake and he was good enough to accept it. Poor guy's phone is broken, i am sure a 500$ damage can spoil anyone's sense of forum rules... So while opening another thread in the general thread wouldn't solve the problem, helping him to close his issue might just save someone's phone!

My s3 doesn't keep settings after a restart and basically has never been 100% at it. Eg. Ring tones will revert to default, default application settings get forgotten. Phone has been rooted before but actually isn't right now.
Running 4.1.2
I have done a factory data reset.
Any thoughts?

Thoughts are one post in the correct forum and two return phone to vendor as faulty .

Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Really? The s3 q&a and troubleshooting forum is the wrong forum?
Since the phone has been rooted im hesitant to send it back. Its actually also had the screen replaced.
Still hopeful someone has better advice than tell me im posting in the wrong forum. This place used to be friendlier than this im sure.
Just saw the link for the lte specific forum. Will repost there.

Not if you have I9300 yes its wrong if you have I9305 really .
Btw, what forum would be a better place for me troubleshooting question?
The I9305 forum Q&A logically .
You had two bits of advice ignore them both or not .

Thanks for the advice. Already took one of them... other one; not sure how my warranty would hold up with being rooted and a screen replaced... sad face.
Considering a cyanogen or perhaps liquidsmooth rom that I've just seen a bit about.
My concern is that even a new rom doesn't wipe or refresh all the parts where things like default settings might be kept during a restart. So hoping some advice comes through in that regard perhaps.. but not in this forum.

Closing this thread as it was posted in the wrong place. The new thread is here in the I9305 Q&A section.
Hey guys, I couldn't find any thread or post of this matter.... So, my brother has a S3 I9300 and was running 4.1.2 version.... He has experienced lots of hangs/freeze until the home button does not respond... He have to pull out the battery and put it back so that the phone can turn on.... So, anyone can help me with it???

Look in general section for ultimate freezing thread.
Its s result of sds fix - look in general for sticky sds thread

Thanks.... But I'm kinda confused.... Haha
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
So there's a bug called sds. Sudden Death Syndrome. It wipes the internal memory including android to the point the phone is dead and needs motherboard replacement.
Samsung released a fix for this in 4.1.2 - see the important sds thread "are you covered" created by me. Its stuck at the top of the general forum. It tells you how to identify if you're affected.
If you are, and you're using an older 4.1.2, the side affects are long freezes and hangs.
The newer 4.1.2s with version 2 fix are much better. There is another thread in general called "ultimate freezing thread" or something which may contain methods that temporarily relieve freezing.
First things first, read my thread and find out if the device is affected. If it is, compare the device version of android against tgr ones in that thread to see which version of the fix it has. Then take it from there

What is that supposed to mean?
There is already a thread for this issue, so there is no point cluttering up the forum with duplicate threads.

So why create the thread when a warning / how to fix thread (that you know about) already exists?

I understand all the words you just used but I can't understand them in the order they are in or within the context we're in.

This is the name of the ROM I installed: ANDROM3D-VZLA-V3.0 Found it under: Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Android Development
But now it seems to be gone that post
As said, there already exists thread for this issue. Please have a look in the General subforum for it, or use the seacrh function.
