Want to flash Android 4.3 ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys I am using Galaxy S3 I9300. I am rooted and currently using a Kitkat ROM. I want to flash a 4.3 based custom ROM. When we downgrade so we have to flash a different radio? If yes then from where can I flash the radio? Thanks in advance.
Regards

Simply flash any Sammy's 4.3 through Odin, you don't need to do anything else unless you have ariza-broken /efs, and I guess you have not.

Thanks for the reply. I actually meant that I wanted to flash S5 Custom ROM which is based on android 4.3. So I have to flash radio or just wipe off my current ROM and flash that ROM?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-galaxy-s5-mini-fast-stable-t2669724

Guys I don't know whats the confusion here. But again I am explaining my problem. I want to flash revolutionary S5 V3 ROM on my Galaxy S3. Here is the link of the ROM:
forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-smartdroid-v1-0-t2602543
Now my question is that since this ROM is based on Android 4.3 and I am currently using Dirty Unicorns which is based on Android 4.4.2 so do I have to flash radio in order to use that ROM or I just simply flash that ROM? And if I have to flash radio then please provide me the link from where I can flash it. Hope now you understand.

Simply flash through recovery, no action required.

Is it possible to extract the ROM from the stock firmware? In particular..

No, I want to be able to flash the ROM as you would a custom ROM from CWM
I am currently trying the dual boot function in Siyah and wanted to use the stock ROM as a primary ROM. I have cloned my primary ROM (Dragon ICS 2.4) to secondary and wanted to have the stock Orange ROM as primary.

I see. So you're asking for the Orange branded stock ROM in a CWM flashable zip file?
A would not the answer to the q be to flash stock rom via mobile Odin .

Root is already done on custom roms. 4.3 has developers options and root in there. If you dont see dev options tap build about 5 times and it will come up in menu.
Edit: do you mean your on stock rom and no root? If so yes you need to root first. Sorry haven't read posts to well today.
What firmware do you have? Gb/ics/jb?

S3 Custom Rom

I have S3 GT-I9300.
It's probably the 10th time I am asking for help on XDA. I have been trying to install CyanogenMod and other custom ROMs from 6 months with no luck. The problem is whenever I install 1 of the custom ROM I lose my network. I have also tried flashing the modem of JustArchi with no luck. I am dying to taste a custom ROM. It would be greatly appreciated if anybody would help.
Thanks in anticipation.

you lost your imei if you have previous version of stock backed up you should restore it from recovery
If u flash original stock ROM your signal is OK?
You need to restore the efs files to restore the IMEI, do you have a EFS backup?

Have you formated modem/efs ? I personally never done that allso make sure you're on the latest [insert recovery of choice here] version? Allso how can you have imei and network on samsung based rom and not have them on CM? Check on samsung rom if imei is the same as the one behind the battery or on the box you've bought your phone.

I dont know how I have formatted the modem/efs. I just wipe data cache before installing the rom. I am using philz_touch_6.48.4-i9300. The IMEI on the rom is same as that on the back of the phone.
Sorry I didn't notice that I posted in the wrong place. How am I supposed to move it to the right place.
This has been answered multiple times, there is a thread about that, it's all about patched kernel/modem, also, you're posting this in wrong forum, there is Q&A for that!
Use boeffla and patched modem, but first return to stock, i guarantee it will work.
Steps:
Flash stock: Stock 4.3
Flash Boeffla (sammy version): Boeffla 5.3
Flash patched modem. Modem
-> Till here you got to have your network back.
Then flash your desired AOSP ROM, and then flash a patched kernel like Boeffla (for AOSP, but watch out, there are CM and Omni based roms, so is Boeffla kernel, if you use CM, download for CM), because only patched kernel can read a patched modem. When you do that you don't have to flash patched modem again because CM/AOSP based ROMs do not wipe modem.
And remember BACKUP EFS
And if IMEI is ok you don't have to restore EFS, you only restore it when your imei is 0000... or 0049..., for Emergency calls only and Baseband unknown follow my steps.
Just follow these steps and you're good to go.
Someone should make this sticky.

Well, no, you can flash any stock rom, as long it is 4.3 based, you can see that under this thread you have many more stock, deodexed cwm falshable roms based on 4.3 by JustArchi, i linked you that because it is easier to flash in CWM then via Odin, but again, your choice.
As off Boeffla, here you can download all versions, recmmended are latest stable:
http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/index.php/2012-10-31-06-13-16
You can see there are for Samsung 4.3/4.4, and Omnirom based or CM based all the way down. (double check if you will run omnirom or cm based rom).

pre rooted deodexed base BOC6

Just releasing a pre rooted deodexed BOC6 base for the N910G. It has busybox and init.d support plus secure storage set to false.
You will need the modem and probably the bootloader from the boc6 base, I'll probably upload them later. Anyone is welcome to use it as a base, just dropping it as there isn't one yet

Thanks , I am downloading it right now
This base seems to be smaller than the full stock ROM , any apps removed ?
also can we have a dpi changer (I tried the one on playstore but they are FCying) and 3minit battery for this base if its possible ?
Thanks
should be possible

never flash BL with TWRP always prefer Odin flash, Flashing BL via TWRP can hardbrick your device.
May I request somebody to upload the odin flashable bootloader... I have no idea how to flash aboot.mbn provided in oyher thread.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys!
OK, I've been waiting for this.
So if I grab the India firmware, flash with Odin, flash this all good?
I have the Australian G version.
Technically, if I flash the India firmware, I should be able to use the F custom roms with the other custom kernels?
All we needed was the bootloader right? World's our oyster Yeah? Haha.
Thanks guys.

If you want just a stock prerooted boc3 base for the n910f I can upload one but there are plenty of custom roms out there for the n910f. I just dropped this base for other devs to use as there wasn't a lollipop zips for the n910g. I think Dr ketan has released one now

Not sure exactly what Sammy have done but on lollipop if the modem and base don't match the rom won't boot. This means for the time being you cant flash lollipop n910f roms on the n910g and vice versa. Hopefully someone will fix it soon

I didn't intend supporting the rom as I don't have the device it's just a base for other devs to use. If no one makes a custom rom for you guys I'll add a few mods to it
If I flash the stock India via Odin, new bootloader and modem, and I have an issue or want to wait for more custom roms, can I go back to kitkat rom?

I just flashed the sammobile stock firmware and rooted but I can't get 3minit to work. I see you have to decompile etc. Anyway to zip align and deox stock rom semi easily? Haha.
Thanks guys.

The first thing you need to do is install twrp on your device. See ashyx guide in the development threads. Installing it will wipe your device so make sure to backup first. Once that is installed you can flash custom roms.
