Hi!
First this is what I did:
1.On stock ROM 4.1.2 I rooted.
2. Using root explorer I zipped my efs folder and moved it to pc.
3.Flashed rwpm lastest
4.Installed S5 revolutionary "like your new S5?" custom ROM from recovery. Didn't like it. battery drain.
5. Flashed a 4.3 stock from sammobile with odin. Didn't like it>>buggy. I9300XXGMK6
6. Flashed a 4.1.2 with odin >> success1/1..pass..etc
6.a. phone rebooted it goes to samsung logo animation >>1 sec >>samsung logo animation >> 1 sec >> infinite loop.
7. Major heart attack.
8. Flashed 4.3 again (the same as step 5 =I9300XXGMK6). Phone booted properly. Now working.
So, please tell me what to do:
1- This ROM =I9300XXGMK6 is buggy. Screen rotating seems to ignore me (and settings) and it is always on. Apps are not working. Firewall doesn't work...
2- Should I downgrade to 4.1.2? if yes, how?
3-Should I wait for my country's (Iran) 4.3 frameware to release and flash with odin ? or a later version?
Please note:
I don't want any custom ROMs.
I have no problem staying on 4.3 as long as it's bugs are fixed.

Thank you.
So my current frimware is for UAE. Can I just wait for Iran's frimware (Not released yet) and then flash it? I mean, is it ok to change the country?

it is ok to change country. any firmware that is for the GT-I9300 will work. UAE has an nb6 firmware I would flash that. mk6 is very buggy as it was one of the first 4.3 versions

Hey,
I have since become a S3 ... I have rooted it and wanted to play another Rome.
First I flashed my Carbon ... that was wonderful, but I had no wifi. Then I tried another Rom (with aroma installer). When I had WiFi, but since I have the menu did not like it and it was me too many Samsung Apps.
Now I have flashed me the Resurrection Remix, but the S3 boots constantly new to the CWM.
The same I have with CM11.
What am I doing wrong please?

You need to install exactly like below don't miss any steps
-Installation-
1.- Wipe data / factory reset (mandatory if you coming from STOCK OR 4.2.X version or another ROM)
2.- Install the Main ROM
3- install gapps
4.- When you're back on recovery go to Advanced
5.- Wipe Dalvik Cache
6.- Fix Permissions
7.- Wipe Cache Partition
8.- Reboot
If it still not working flash TWRP recovery and use that to flash the rom
Hey,
I just did it. Then came the Samsung logo, phone restarts and I'm back in the CWM.
Have just flashed TWRP reboot (via CWM) Recovery and but still have CWM.
Grrrrrr ...... what for now
Better download official firmware from Sammobile and install thru Odin. Then Root and carry on with your favorite custom rom.
Yes I agree with KSKHH if problem still there return to stock with odin and start again..

INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY
Copy desired ROM into memory card (or intrernal, if dont have memory card)
Wipe all
Install
Profit
Hey,
I have now taken me this firmware:
I9300XXUGML2_I9300DTMGML2_I9300BOUGMK3_HOME.tar
Odin started, specified in the PDA tar file, made my S3 in the download mode, USB cable ran ... it was detected and was also flashed. Now I sit for at least 10 minutes and nothing happens.
The Samsung logo always changes its color and the LED on the top left light blue.

So now just flash a recovery and then flash as usual custom of Rome?
Edit:
GT-I9300
Android 4.3
Baseband I9300BOUGMK3
Kernel: 3.0.31-2303192 [email protected]#1 FriDec 13 21:55:31 KST2013

Edit2:
Hey,
so, now I have successfully flashed TWRP and tested.
Now I'll try to flash CM11 ... hopefully it starts this time also
Edit 3:
so, now it has worked wonderfully.
Thanks again for the help
Hello,
i have a galaxy mega I9205 LTE, three weeks ago i have flashed the original 4.4 KK update from samfirmware, and from that moment i have no more boot logo (the one with the "Galaxy mega" words), and download mode screen. I have done a full wipe (clean cache, wipe data, and kalvin wipe) from CMW and original recovery, tried with CM11 rom, and other 4.4 roms (can't downgrade to 4.2.2 ), nothing, my boot logo don't come out.
I think the fault is the bootloader, but i don't know if it can be restore or something like that.
How can i fix the problem?
Up
Tried another time, wipes on cwm recovery, flash with odin 3.09, no logos. Damn
UP
Did you flash the i9200 KK ROM or the i9205 LTE ROM for the phone?

Same problem : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/help/enter-odin-download-mode-stock-4-4-2-t2811866
Cmon! Up!
try to use a different odin version, like 1.85.
and/or try another firmware.
i know there are at least 2 versions out there on sammobile, ne4 and nf2.
Flashing I9200XXUDNF3 from sammobile with odin 3.09 didnt slove the problem. Should i try with odin 3.04?? (My phone is GT-I9200)
Yeah. I tried to update to Kitkat and have flashed with almost every version of odin and the results were all the same.
However, I didn't encounter problems like you did.
Only the system (rom), recovery, boot (kernel) were flashed, and the modem (radio) and bootloader weren't registered into the phone.
And since my bootloader was still the old one (Knox-free), I was able to downgrade and did OTA update.
So now, for your situation, I can only think of trying to update with Kies.
DO NOT AND NEVER try what I did since you don't have download mode to confirm whether you have the new Knox bootloader, so you might end up BRICKED.
Again. Try to update with Kies. DO NOT downgrade by odin flash old firmwares (4.2.2).
And if Kies works out for you, let the other member (who's having same problem) know.

:good:
This is the #1 thing I am seeing members doing, attempting to downgrade from KK 4.4.2 Kitkat. It's becoming a trend so to speak. Although I will say it is sometimes a hardware error/issue, not many are reading before installing/attempting to downgrade.......
To the others.......
Once there, there is no going back. Yes you can flash Custom Roms all you want as long as you do not attempt to successfully downgrade the KitKat Knox Bootloader and pass. The OTA even tells you so and this is on any Galaxy phone you buy, not just the Mega.
If you can get into Recovery, then recover one of your backups, only if you didn't update to the Official KitKat 4.4 with the Updated Knox Bootloader either thru OTA or Odin
If you can still get into download mode then you are somewhat okay and there is still some hope. You can try flashing the Official Firmware to recover. Only flash ( pre KitKat 4.4 ) Official Firmwares thru Odin if you didn't already update to the Official KitKat 4.4 with the Updated Knox Bootloader either thru OTA or Odin.
If you can not get into Download Mode and the phone does not boot up or plugging in the phone to the computer with no battery installed you get the qhsusb_dload mode, then the possibility that you are likely bricked is good.
From here you either send it for JTag or see if someone with the same Phone and Carrier can make you a debrick image for you to burn to a memory card so your phone can be able to boot off it into Download Mode and Odin the Official Firmware. You will need to search for this method.

Hello guys i got same problem like you after OTA updade to kitkat,
Now i using spirit ron by silesh, what i did is just flash cutom recovery with odin like a blind man!
Just verify you enter download mode.
Turn off your phon( after phone vibrate)
Press vol down+home+power, hold together until phone vibrate and wait about 2sec and then release all button
To verify you enter download mode, please wait about 3minutes if phone not boot to os, you are just one step to download mode, just press and relese volume up to enter download mode
Then connect your phone to pc with odin run in administrator privileges, if odin detect your phone youre ready for rumble LOL

Just received a phone (Samsung note 3) everything works (sound, led, touchscreen etc..) except the screen is not powering on. (No samsung boot logo)

Hello guys..
Here em back to guide you how to return back to stock 4.1.2 firmware...
As you all have heard that samsung has implemented knox counter in 4.3 MK4 firmwares and later and if that counter goes 1 you r unable to return to your stock 4.1.2....So here's a simple guide how you can do It safetly.....
(Make sure you have 4.1.2 stock firmware on your sdcard )
1) Download the CM 10 rom which which has a base of 4.1.2 from below link...gapps not necessary in this procedure....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968949
2) Now boot to twrp or philz and wipe data cache and dalvik and flash the rom.....After done booting install mobile odin pro from PS or from anywhere else...
3) Now load the 4.1.2 firmware in mobile odin (partitions will be set automatically) and start the firmware flash....
[Dont forget to inject root, supersu and mobile odin ]
4) Now you will be successfully on 4.1.2 firmware but at this time you will loose your IMEI [simcard etc.. will not work...]..But dont worry...as you have mobile odin pro preinstalled...
Load the TWRP .img.tar file in the odin and start to flash....TWRP will be flashed successfully....
5) Now flash your countries selected MODEM in twrp from the below link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937
6) Now reboot your phn and you will be having back your 4.1.2 with imei back and simcard n all working...
7) Just enjoy the smoothness
NOTE:- If you want to downgrade from 4.4 to 1.2 then you cant directly degrade....you will first have to flash 4.3 and then 1.2 ...
2)Flash modem of your country only otherwise sim will not work....
3) MOST IMP:- Dont directly flash 4.1.2 on 4.3....make sure u go to cm10 first otherwise the 1.2 will badly lag and defunction....
(TRIED MY MYSELF)
[ The entire procedure above has been tried by me myself 2 to 3 times so there shldnt be any probs....if its there you can post here ]...
If you like my Guide then Press the THANKS :thumbup::thumbup: button below the post.....
Thankyou guys...have a nyc day...
Hi guys, while updating the firmware my son has removed the battery, the starting of the engine is not working the touch, I tried to do the hard reset and update the official firmware from Kies, then I tried with Odin, but nothing to do what.
Tips.......?
Is this a orginal display? I have an replacment display and thre i can use only 4.2.2 not 4.4.2 roms. Then use the Megafire Rom, this works.
Hello and Thank you, no the display is not original but replacement, so I have to install the 4.4.2 Megafire Rom?
i think the 4.4.2 rom`s don`t work. Only the 4.2.2 rom`s.
Edit: And i can`t charge my mega is this off, charge your battery bevor it is empty. I think this is a problem of the wrong bootloader.

are you sure your new rom bootloader is higher than the old one?
Is your model no. correct?
i think you flashed wrong rom.
Find the correct rom for your device (if you don't remeber Old Build no., just find the latest rom)
flash to your device . (if it is Ok, you can go to recovery mode.)
In recovery mode , wipe & reset your cache, data.
Agree. Reflash the correct official ROM that includes the boot loader . .. If you can. My experience with latest official ROM has a Blind Download Mode (black screen) on the GT-i9200. Might be the same on the i9205.

So as the last resort go to download mode and reflash stock ROM. Be sure you flash your actual version of Android because you can not downgrade once you upgrade to 4.4.

Let's try, it costs nothing. The differences between regional versions of firmware are mainly in radio part - after flashing firmware from very different region unit should stand up normally, only then could be problem with data exchange or making calls. The rest should be normal.
It is hard to determine which version of firmware you have actually on your unit. Problem lays in bootloader - with upgrade to 4.4 the bootloader is changing to new one and there is no way back. So if you try to flash 4.2 after upgrade to 4.4 you can soft brick your phone.
IMHO safest way for you is to find and flash newest 4.4 firmware for your region. If there will be problems after flashing try to make factory reset from recovery. Best luck.
