[Q] SELinux: Enforcing and Secure boot status with GT-I9300 ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The last 4.3 update:
Model: GT-I9300

Product Code: NEE
PDA: I9300XXUGND5
CSC: I9300NEEGND1
MODEM: I9300XXUGNA8

and
Secure Boot Status
Type: Samsung
Source: http://androidromupdate.com/2014/06...-3-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-no-4-4-2-kitkat-update/
What are those?
Anything i should be concerned about if wanting to root/unroot/return to full stock or downgrade to earlier stock FW:s (like ive used to do this far with the previous I9300XXUGNA5) ?
Looks like some knox stuff ive seen on Galaxy s4, but GT-I9300 wasnt suppose to get knox, ever.
Thanks.

Strange, I have the same firmware, but no knox. Also, I can't explain why other users talk about knox on s3

I too have seen an Italian variant with the same I9300XXUGND5 FW which had nothing about SELinux or Secure boot.
Seems however the nordic variants CSC: I9300NEEGND1 of I9300XXUGND5 comes with locked bootloader, according to androidromupdate.
So does that mean chainfires cf-auto-root isn't working for this anymore?
Or is there any other root method available if locked bootloader?
Thanks.

Kies sucks and updating via OTA is worse. Use Odin.

It'd be a good idea to factory reset while you're at it. Not doing so will probably work, but much more inclined to have issues.

Stock 4.1.2 or 4.3 UK firmware

I am trying to do a complete reset on my phone to get ready to go to a service center. However I am unable to find a completely stock UK version of 4.04, 4.1.2 or 4.3. I have tried everywhere but even though it says UK BTU ( my phone was unlocked from day one ) I have so far had Dutch, German, Swiss and even a Chilean rom.
Could some one please point me to one please.
Hey there mate, Think this is what your looking for. 4.3 BTU UK

[Help] Identifying correct stock firmware for I9300T

Hi everyone,
I'm in a conundrum. I've gone and soft-bricked my Samsung G3 I9300T and my attempts to flash it with various stock firmware have fallen flat. Can anyone offer me help or direct me to a thread (for dummies) for identifying which firmware would be suitable for my I9300 as I'm led to believe there are differences eg. ZSALED (Hong Kong) vs UBALE6 (Brazil).
Phone details:
Model: GT-I9300T
I've seen other threads posting AP, CP & CSC but I'm not sure how to obtain these details
I'm sorry for being ignorant. But many thanks for your time.
History of phone:
I purchased it off kogan a few years ago.
This is my first time rooting and flashing my S3 and everything's gone horribly wrong.
When I try to put it into recovery mode it will 'cycle' the Samsung Galaxy SIII title page but never reach recovery mode
I can put the phone into Download mode.
I've attempted to flash the phone with these firmwares:
-GT-I9300_TGY_I9300ZSALED_I9300OZSALED_I9300XXLEF.tar. md5
-CheckROM_V4_LG8.tar.md5 (from a thread: PM me if you'd like to know it)
-I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md 5
(I use Odin3 v3.04-3.09 to flash these but everytime I run into a Fail)
Hi,
Could someone direct me to a thread that'll teach me the notation of firmware. B/c I still don't understand: the meaning of the designations for PDA & CSC.
Example
Model: GT-I9300
Country: United Kingdom
Version: Android 4.3
Changelist: 2168382
Build date: Thu, 28 Nov 2013 12:07:41 +0000
Product Code: BTU
PDA: I9300XXUGMK6 (What does XX, UGMK6 mean?)
CSC: I9300OXAGMK6 (similarly, what does OX, AGMK6 refer to?)
MODEM: I9300XXUGMK6
And what's the difference between Samsung Galaxy SIII International (firmware) I9300XXEMC2 & I9300XXUGNB4? (XX means Australia, but what do EMC2 or UGNB4 mean?
Again I apologise if I irritate some of you. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Kinetik

Thanks for the reply, Darke. Would this NZ firmware still be compatible for a handset in Australia, Sydney? I'll give it a try anyway

No reason why it shouldn't, its the same as the one infront of me. At any rate hopefully it repair your phone so you can maybe install your proper rom

[Q] Manual update to KitKat 4.4.2 for Samsung S4 Mini I9190 unbranded from UAE Region

Hello there,
I own a Samsung S4 Mini I9190 unbranded from United Arab Emirates, using Android JellyBean 4.2.2.
AP: I9190XXUBNA1
CP: I9190XXUBNA1
CSC: I9190OJVBNA1
I am unable to make the KitKat 4.4.2 update since apparently it is not available for such region. However, I came across this article on the web:
update-galaxy-s4-mini-i9190-xxucng1-android-442-firmware from Team Android (sorry I'm not able to post links yet)
The author claims any unbranded I9190, regardless the region, should be able to perform the manual update to KitKat using the firmware provided:
Model: GT-I9190
Model name: GALAXY S4 mini
Country: Russia
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 1995154
Build date: Thu, 03 Jul 2014 03:51:09 +0000
Product Code: SER
PDA: I9190XXUCNG1
CSC: I9190SERCNG1
MODEM: I9190XXUCNG1
Is it safe to try it out? I have already backed up everything.
Is there anything I should know about? I don't feel that comfortable with using an update intended for a different firmware.
Thanks a lot for your time.
