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. I have been facing quite a lot of issues especially when it comes to the speed. At the moment, i have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with the following specs:
Android version 4.1.2,
Baseband version I9300XXEMA5,
Kernel Version 3.0.31-1287119 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 28 00:40:06 KST 2013
Build Number JZ054J.I9300XXEMF6
I have the following concerns/questions:
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.

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.

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

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 already posted in the wrong place one... I hope this is the right place.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I have a problem with my S2 after flashing to new firmware. This is the story:
- I purchased a S2. Everything worked fine. This was the data before I did something I shouldn’t have done:
PDA: I9100XWLQ2
PHONE: I9100XXLQ6
CSC: I9100DBTLPO
Sales code: DBT (only)
Android 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version
3.0.15-1157945
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 26 16:17:36 KST
2012
Build number: IMM76D.XWLQ2
Kies worked fine (updated to the above).
- The only problem is that the firmware was DBT (German). The UI was in English but some applications were German. Nothing against Germany but I’m UK based.
- I decided to update to a new version using Odin, so I flashed:
I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA
This is where all the problems started:
Every time I boot I got a message saying the process android.(...).acore stopped
Clearing contacts cache/data did not address the problem
I read in this thread that this was due to instability of LP9 and it was advisable to use LP8.
- Flashed using Odin
Kernel_I9100XWLP8.tar.md5
I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA
- Now I have UK applications (which is good) but:
a) Every time I boot I get the message "Unfortunately, LogsProvider has stopped"
Clearing contacts cache/data doesn’t help.
b) When I try to use the phone (e.g. dial a number) I got a black screen for a minute or so and then the LogsProvider message. After that the phone application closes.
c) Kies stopped working with the message:
Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies
Current firmware version: PDA:LPT / PHONE:LQ6 / CSC:LPA (DBT)
- Flashed I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA_HOME
Same problems
Now internal data is:
Android 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version
3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023

In ideal world I would like to have an UK, unbranded, S2 and use Kies for future updates. Having said that, considering that the phone is almost dead any suggestion to bring the S2 back to life would be great.
I’m a little bit desperate... help... please
Thanks

P.S. I did search and read post, guides, notes, comments and info. I am not sure I understood all of it but I did try - I promise.
Well....why don't you just flash an unbranded stock ROM then? You could always update it via kies or OTA.
Should get 4.0.3 tho, dancing with 4.0.4's kernel might brick your device.
what you mean by "bring back to life", It is still working right?

This was the plan:
- Install an unbranded version
- Update via Kies
I didn't work
Do you have any suggestion for a UK-unbranded fimware version (4.0.3) that should work. My understanding is that it should be
a) for GT-I9100 (obviously)
b) XEU version (aka UK)
c) Android 4.0.3
Apart from that, is there any other important requirement?

Don't worry about either your country or your calls. Search for an unbranded samsung official stock 4.0.3 ROM, flash it, check it out (smoothness and all) and then try to make a call. If it doesn't fly, just flash another modem

Good news. It looks like the situation has improved after the factory reset.
I'll go to sleep now (it's 2:50am here in London/UK). Tomorrow I'll check all the functions and but it looks like I'm going are in the right direction.
I'll post tomorrow about the results.
Thanks for your help gastonw - it is really appreciated. :good:
np, go get some rest now.
[Q] Brand new S2. After flash: errors, slow... (more questions)
Bingo! The factory reset worked. Everything back to normal. I have my UK application and Kies update to:

The only odd thing that the "About phone screen/Status" shows serial number 0000000000*. Not the end of the world.
Just a few additional questions
Now, before I make the same mistake again (do something I shouldn't, panic and ask for help)... If I want to root:
a) Can I do it without risking to brick?
b) Can I still use Kies after rooting?
c) Is there a recommended procedure that I should follow?
*update about it the next post.
Quick update about serial number 0000000000. Apparently, it is a 4.0.4 bug. The serial number is stored correctly internally but Android UI shows 0000000000.
The majority of people here probably already know that but just in case...

I manage to find the answers to my own questions :silly:
a/c) I followed the procedure described here. It worked great.
b) Yes. Kies doesn’t seem to care that the S2 is rooted
Result:
- 4.0.4 generic/unbranded/XEU firmware
- Updated and recognised by Kies.
- Rooted successfully.
- So far everything works smoothly and fast
Lesson learned:
- Factory reset after firmware flash resolved the problem.
I couldn’t be happier :good:

I heard of it - although I don't know the details. The 4.0.4 Brick Bug is the reason why I flashed to 4.0.3 instead of 4.0.4.
The Samsung Update application updated to 4.0.4. It wasn't, strictly speaking, my direct choice. I could have ignored the suggestion of updating but I though that, since the update was coming from Samsung and it was applied to stock firmware, it was a safe choice.

This sounds a little bit scary Should I be worried about something?
Lol, I remember you were on 4.0.4, told you It would be wise to go 4.0.3 and kies threw you back at 4.0.4.
Download gotbrickbug app from the store and check your chip (just for kicks). If it's insane, well...you can always go back to 4.0.3 and wait for the Jelly Bean update thru both Kies & OTA (Over The Air).
The thing is, you're completly safe whereas you don't flash any ROM or custom ROM, and perform things like wipes thru recovery and what not.
If you want to go in a flashing frenzee, then you might flash a safe kernel (like Siyah), but I think it's not the case, you seem to love Kies updates
The important thing is that your device is running smoothly on ICS; so, enjoy.

Hi gastonw,
Thanks again for you useful comments.
I suspected your comments about 4.0.3 vs 4.0.4 were related to my previous attemps of flashing 4.0... and your advice of staying away from it.
I run gotbrickbug and I'm happy to say it reports "Brick Bug? NO. Sane chip" - which I guess is good news.

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 CM9 is a really old ROM.Try CM 10 or 10.1.But if you don't want to,then search for XXMS2 modem.There are many guides how to flash a modem here on XDA.

In final i want to make brand new CM 10.1 flsh with JB. I wait impatiently to stabel version, because i use phone every day and i need him for work. I cant risk, that nightly will be corrupt with saome undetect problem. Correct me if i am wrong, but theres no newer stable version of CM then CM9, is it? I cant find it on CM download center. All i see is CM 10.1 nightly for i9100.

If your phone 'has to work', leave it stock.

I know, but stock roms with all the crap from operators and manufacturer is unuseable. Now, i work with the old CM9 prety well except signal loses and poor tvoice quality :/
What about rooted stock (so you can get rid of all the bloat) ? That way you have the best of both worlds (remove all the crap and it 'just works').

That is one way and my original point in which i decided yeras ago to do first flash. Then i wanted to test CM and its futures. So yes. Steps after steps if secure baase function even with stock JB rom. If is posible to use for example CM10.1, that will be great, but not conditions. I must admit that i am very nicely lost know. I dont know what exactly should i do next to get proper function of signal - phone signal, net, gps etc... GPS problems was oone of the reasons why i wanted to try new roms with all the hooks ways for better gps signal.
Thank you guys... yesterday i flashed xxms2 modem with RIL and works fine. Couple of my contacts who complain on quality of my voice in the past confirmed, that xxms2 sounds much better. Thanks again!
Hi!
For past a week my phone succesfully upgraded to 4.1.2 jelly bean via samsung Kies. But! It turned down that because of that i got installed many unuseful programs for me and it just taking my battery too much. Example: before i got ICS and i rooted it with some CWM and other file in boot section (I read somewhere that my kernel is "unsecured" or smth like that, so it worked ) and i deleted some programs and using Advanced task manager pro i saw i got around 450mb memory available. now after JB has come, i got MAX 380mb and my battery is keeping alive less time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308179
after using search button i found that thing the most useful for me. dunno if i need root or put new rom, that's why i am writing here (cuz im obviously noob) Can you PLEASE help me with that problem? its annoying that instead of 2 days, my battery (without doing almost nothing just typing messages) can live only 1 day. And, if something, can u get me some tutorial how to make this whole "rooting" please?
