Hi all, sorry for the noob question but i've searched lots of threads ( probably without the correct keywords) for the answer but to no avail.
So, I have CWM recovery installed and have installed a few roms without problems over the past few months. Today, I decided to try another rom but I've got problems. I installed Android revolution HD ROM and it seemed to install just fine but on reboot, it stayed on the Samsung logo screen for over an hour. No problem, I thought, I'll do a restore as I'd backed up my current rom but i can't boot into recovery, it just stays on the Samsung boot screen with the little red light on in the corner. I've tried pulling the battery but I don't know what to do now...can anyone help?

I did do a full back up before flashing this rom but my problem is that I can't boot into recovery to restore my backup.

Ask in the roms thread but usual is user not following the instructions .
Which GAPPS are available for SGS3GT I9300? should i go for GAPPS for my android version
GApps are for specific roms not something you flash unless instructed to .
Again you are sadly lacking in basic understanding . To avoid bricking your phone read and understand the faqs and guides first .

Hey guys,
Well, I've had an IMEI issue recently after flashing stock rom back to my S3. When I have flashed the stock rom back, it's written, "Emergency Calls Only" and my IMEI became 0049 and so on. After a while of solution searching, I've seen some post about baseband and modem V1 V2 or something which I don't understand much about it. So, what I did was to flash back to my old rom I've used before and now it worked! and that rom was NeatRom based on XXEMH1.
Now, what I want to ask is, how can I go back to stock rom with my network working properly without emergency calls only and messed up IMEI?
Update: Read some guy posting things about this rom that I'm using. He said it has an outdated baseband or something and I guess I may have to flash kernel, modem to make it catch up with the ROM itself. about it, if anybody has the file, would you please provide me with links to download? Thanks.
Thanks in advance!
Go and read the basics in general, stickies before you flash anything else.
You can't flash any Rom with a modem earlier than EMG4 now, so your stock rom was probably before this.

Regarding rXtreme Stock Rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023916
after installing it, everything works fine other than the language. Korean words are blanked out automatically. Any help here?
Stock rom then you want to go to sammobile.con and download for your country .

You don't get my question. I want to continue using rXtreme Rom without wiping my data. I'm asking if there is a fix for the language.
Sorry post said Help Stock Rom .
Suggest ask the rom chef or read faqs and guides .
Either you are posting in the wrong forum or you are flashing the wrong rom .
This is I9300Q&A the link you posts is for a different phone I9305 .
Hi,
Not so long ago I rooted my international i9300, installed CWM and started trying custom ROMs. After a while I wanted to go back to stock rom cuz I am planning on selling phone. I downloaded from Sammobile 4.3 custom rom for UK (my phone was from Hungary) and installed it via Odin.
Everything went well and everything is working properly, the only difference from before is that now when I enter recovery mode it shows BugDroid and under him it says Error, after that it goes into recovery mode which is similar to the stock one, it has all the same functions as the stock one but it certainly doesn't look like it; letters are not same size and color as they were before, and BugDroid in background is still lying on his back with red exclamation sign on it but now it says "no command" under it.
Everything is working properly on the phone but I am kind perfectionist and I like to do things right. Is there way to make it like it was before?
btw. I formatted everything I could before installing custom rom - all sdcards and everything so probably I deleted some files I shouldn't have

Edit: I found the solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847 worked like charm
Ok guys here's the deal, last year I rooted my friend's s3 (international, india, i9300) because there was no available update to android, so I flashed purelook HD 8.0 (android version 4.1.2), now he is saying that his phone has become very slow so he wants to go back to stock
so I downloaded "INU-I9300XWUGML4-20140107141249.zip" but after downloading this I saw that it is for android 4.3 (new official update).
So my question is should I directly flash this in ODIN (android 4.3) or I should download older official update before flashing new update?
If it's a full, multi part stock rom then it wouldn't be a zip. Odin can't flash zips.
Suggest you read the basics in general forum, sticky threads, before you do anything else.

yeah I know odin doesn't flash zip's, I quoted the file name just for reference as there were two firmwares updates available for india, one INS another INU on doing some searches I came to know that they are locked and unlocked updates, kinda same, you can download any one.
is there any number I should match before downloading...we do not have contract phones in india, just retail so I was confused therefore I downloaded the unlocked one
back to the point, I know that I have to extract it first, there is a file inside it, named "I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_I9300DDUGMK1_HOME.tar.md5"
so maybe now you can help me out, whether should I flash it or download an earlier version and flash it prior to flashing this one...
So my question is should I directly flash this in ODIN (android 4.3) or I should download older official update before flashing new update?
Its your choice but as said read and understand the basics first .

Well I know how to flash roms/firmwares via ODIN, I know I have to check my counter too if it is not zero than I will have to reset it
so is there anything else?
I'm just asking this because I don't know much about s3 but I had note and I remember it had some issues regarding upgrading to a ice-cream sandwich version, something related to 'safe kernel' many other things...
and even I tried searching for basics, I didn't find anything else other than this and if there is something I am still missing then please kindly link me to it or just answer the question, IS IT SAFE or not?

dudes dudes dudes I repeat once more, I know how to flash and what to flash,eg
first of all - reset the counter, app triangle away
then - install stock recovery, already downloaded
finally - flash stock rom, already downloaded
I know about the modem, efs back up and everything, all I am asking is, is it safe to directly upgrade from a third party 4.1.2 rom to stock 4.3 rom, I hope you understand my question this time... :angel:
