Hi,
is it smart to put Cyanogenmod on my new S3 if yes why or why not?
And what is the stock rom download link for my phone?
I touched: *#1234# in the telephone app and it gave me this:
AP: I9300XXUGND5
CP: I9300XXUGNA8
CSC: I9300PHNGNE1
And when I go to the device-info it says:
Android-version: 4.3
Baseband-Version: I9300XXUGNA8
I life in the netherlands pls help
I think the recent CM11 isn't stable. Try AOKP-, Omni-, TW-based Roms instead.
Official firmware you get here: www.sammobile.com
Flashing this by Odin lets you loose Root and CustomRecovery.

Hi, what rom do you recommend for me?
And how do I install that rom?
I prefer TW-based roms without all the Sam-bloat, because camera- and radio-hardware are supported better, likes me. I prefer NanoRom, since yesterday developed in xda, too.
Read any tutorial (the search-button, you know ), how to install / flash a custom-rom and then play with their variosity...
Becareful to ask which rom to use as this is against the rules.
cm11 is very stable for me, haven't had a crash in weeks.

Hey everyone,
so i've rooted my phone once before, and after some time i decided it was time to install chainfire's rom due to my battery drainage.
so i went on over to chainfire's thread and read... and read.... and read... downloaded all the jizz. and eventually i got down to the odin part. it was hanging at a specific step. anyways i read... again and realised that my firmware supported a very old recovery tool that didnt work so great. so i got back down to the site and read some more, and eventually got down to installing a new firmware (still confused with firmware vs kernel... but anyway)...
i went down to sammobile. and voila got a 4.0.3 firmware nice! but then... root was gone, and like my rooted apps that installed requested it needs to be rooted first. so i was like (EFFFFFF) anyway.
so i began searching again on how to root, and yes i know i need an insecure kernel... but where on earth do i find this thing.
i noticed that on sammobile they have kernels (or is it firmware, jeez all these names )... and i noticed that some of them have hash signs (##) next to them, does that mean it's insecure? i read somewhere that the star (*) sign means incomplete (it's an update rather)...
so please, someone, anyone, please help...
all i wanna do is install chainfire's rom
DEVICE: Samsung Galaxy S II
MODEL: GT-I9100
ANDROID VERSION: 4.0.3
BASEBAND VERSION: I9100DXLP7
KERNEL VERSION: [email protected] #3
BUILD NUMBER: IML74.DXLP7
thanks in advance guys...
Just download and flash via odin the cf root kernel for LPQ which is compatible with LP7 (use the latest version 5.4 referred to as proper it is a bug fix version). This will give you root and cwm.

Hello guys,
I'm a new "rooter" and my English isn't really good. I think it's because I'm from Germany, not from the US or the UK^^. Atleast it isn't as good as I could find the answer to my question (I bet this sentence is wrong xD).
My problem is, that I want to use the Pure ICS Custom ROM from Spike. Until now, I only get Version 4.0 running on my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 for which you need XXLP1/XXLP2. I want to run PURE ICS v7.2 oder v7.3. For v7.2 I need to get the Stock ROM of XWLP4 and for v7.3 I need to get the XWLP8 running. I tried many installation guides, but I just can't get those Stock ROMs running.
What are the requieremts to get XWLP4, XWLP7, XWLP8 (stock) running?
Thank you!
No requirements except to have a i9100 not G model and to follow the instructions .

I dont have the G model.
So that mean, i can flash every firmware I want? And the carrer doesn't matter?
Because i have problems installing XXLPQ, LP4 and XWLP7 etc. I always get a bootloop and theres no way to get into recovery mode. I just get the firmwares XXLP1 and XXLP2 running. the XXLP1/2 ROMs are 4 parts (PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC) and the other i tried are only 1 part, the DPA part. is this the problem?
There is an LP7 rom which is euro wide - just means you cant use KIES to update and you lose your carriers branded material.
I loaded the LP7 onto my UK phone and it worked perfectly - just remember to wipe your data first - this could be the problem of the bootloops.
There is also the cfkernal link to get root and cwm on your phone.
Good luck in your search for the correct answer.

I have literally switched between 14-15 Roms,the one stood out for me is Resurection rom builds,great work by the Dev and it really is the best ICS experience,so go ahead flash the latest version it's stable and has the best battery flow,im using v1.4 though =D
[Solved]
I was a complete noob but for the past 2 days I've been massively experimenting with my phone to finally figure out how to use Heimdall (since I'm on a Mac) and flashing ROMs and Kernels.
My problem is I got this phone here in India, and yesterday I flashed it with the official ICS 4.0.3 version (since KIES wouldn't let me). But then I say the Resurrection Remix ROM and I really wanted it.
So here are the doubts:
1. I realize I'll need to root my phone first. I read this in a bunch of threads. I started using Chainfire's post as my reference, only to realize that they're meant for 19100 only. Not the G variant.
So, what kernels can I use to root my phone?
My current kernel string reads like this:
3.0.8 [email protected] #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 22 15:00:05 KST 2012
The baseband version reads: I9100GDDLP5
I assumed LP5 to be the kernels I should be looking for (referring to Chainfire's post) but couldnt find any for the G.
I came across this link:
androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-international-all-things-root/482437-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100g-all-things-root.htm
It gives a bunch of kernels for G, but for android version 2.3.6. Does this mean:
a) Those are the only kernels I can hope to get?
b) I need to flash the old version ROM to use them?
My other question is, once I do root my phone with the appropriate kernel,
can the G variant use the Resurrection ROM? If I can't, could anyone suggest a good ROM I should use?
And finally, staying true to my newbie level, can I directly flash a custom ROM using Heimdall without rooting? Also I saw a ROM with a Siyah kernel, so can't I just flash that ROM using Heimdall? I mean, if I root with some kernel and then the ROM I install changes it anyway, can't I directly use the ROM's kernel? I'm just asking.
PDA: I9100GXXLPQ
PHONE: I9100GDDLP5
CSC: I9100GODDLP7
Solution:
I went to the Cynagenmod 9 for I9100G on this site. Went to it's FAQs, flashed the clockworkmod kernel and then used Recovery mode to flash Cyanogenmod 9. Works perfectly. Better than perfect. My phone is finally living up to it's potential!
odin
you can flash a custom recovery to your galaxy with odin,check soem guide on xda, then from the recovery menu yu can flash teh resurection rom,that is prerooted
Thanks...but
@meccandroid: Thanks for the reply, but you're saying that the ROM can be installed on the G variant too? I read there's some hardware difference in 19100 and 19100G, so if the ROM is intended for 19100, wouldn't there be an issue?

Hi, I'm looking for (but can not find) a pre rooted firmware for i9300 ver. 4.1.2 for Italy. my phone fell into the water from me now "is not registered on the network."
I'm not sure that your problem is related to a rom change- just follow YouTube guide of 'How to dry out your s3'
before any more damage will accrue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb_4Gp39nM8
If you're still lookling for 4.1.2 rom- just search at the i9300 dev forum for custom rom that suits your needs
(I recommend the one in my signature) .
If you want completely stock rom from Italy with root access- I suggest downloading the official rom for your country with Sammobile, and
root it yourself with s3 root guide page.

What about Samsung's wake up lag in the latest 4.3 based Neat ROM?
I tried some versions of it about a month ago, but there was a reallí annoying wake up lag! So I had to downgrade to 4.1.2. It's a bit better now, but still annoying. I press the power button and I habe to wait 2-3 seconds for the screen to turn on. This time was 4-6 seconds winth anyi of 4.3 based TW roms...

What do you mean by 'correct rom'?
if correct is another word for 'best' then sorry- no such questions allowed.
I may suggest searching in 'android developer' thread for the rom that serves your needs:

You have to decide by yourself what you need.
You have options : AOSP, AOKP, Stock.
Hello, sorry i did not explain myself properly. I am trying to find a rom that i like but as has been said & as i've found out, it's what you like & want. I am starting to wonder what other phone OS or featurs i can get into my S3 but some i get don't don't flash via zip even with CMW & CF Auto Root. I do the wipe & clear without touching the Delvik but sometimes to no luck. I am atm running i think Omega AOSP V20 which is cracking & i do like it but as i said i am wondering what else i can have
You can have whatever you like, try them all. Best rom threads are against posting rules.
