Try going to sammobile and reflashing 4.4.4, when I initially flashed the OTA my Bluetooth stopped working in my truck. I reflashed and everything worked as advertised. I'm now on cyanogenmod 12 it's awesome!

[Q] JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ1 Samsung International galaxy s3

Hi all ,
Just received an OTA update on my international version of Samsung Galaxy s3.
New update shows JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ1 in phone information menu.
What I'm worried is that no official information is available on any website or any forum. I've tried it everywhere on the net but found nothing.
Can someone please guide what's going on with my gs3.
I'm using gs3 in Pakistan and not under any operator contract so things appear for my phone as international version. Most of the previous updates were pretty much documented or someone had discussed them oddly , this newest possible release is 4.1.1 and changed plenty of things.
Any info will be highly helpful.
Best Regards,
Busyboy

I installed this new firmware, my SIII became so laggy! I just want to go back to the previous version
Anyone who knows why this version is so laggy?
I have updated my phone to this version then all of sudden no calls coming through. People telling my my phone is unavailable when infact its switched on.
I then discovered that when I turn off the mobile data the calls do come through. I am not sure if there is a setting I have not picked up. I have tried GSM only and Dual Mode but same problem. Would this my phone, Network Provider ot what. I have to switch off my data now.
How do I revert to the previous version?
problems in Build Number is JRO03C.I9300XXDLK1

Hey Guys,
I am having the same problem. The day my Samsung Galaxy S3 got updated with Samsung's JB update, the performance has gone down.
The phone really lags in opening the keyboard, switching between Apps and the list goes on.
I am looking for some links to restore my ICS again.
Does any one know how ??
does anyone know the complaint email id for reporting Samsung G S3 ?? :cyclops:
It seems like there are quite a few people experiencing problems with this JB update? I myself experienced it for a while but now it seems ok again??? I don't know what or where or why though? It seems strange that Samsung would release an 'update' without making sure all glitches were ironed out? Surely they must be looking into a solution? I know a lot of people on here say 'flash a new rom' but to someone like me, even the 'easy' tutorials are a completely different language & seem so daunting!!
Jay

I need help to upgrade to 4.1.2!!!
If I use Rom for other baseband I9300XXELLA , will it harm????

well for me i encountered the problem of not hearing the caller from the app like viber, kakaotalk etc. when i also updated to the latest firmware, but i did not bother because i did not have any problems with the my ordinary phone calls.
i have updated to a different firmware with the higher build than before, unfortunately i havent tried or tested the mentioned problem with the new firmware.
i'll be back when i do or if someone calls me with the apps.
Update:
still i encounter the problem. i think the only solution as of now is just revert back to the previous firmware (no galaxy gear compatibility update)

hmm honestly i dont know what stock rom / firmware specifically or maybe the I9152XWUAMJ2 firmware would be the one as it is the october build.
try to get that firmware and then download odin to flash your phone back to that firmware
if you are not familiar in using odin and flashing a firmware / stock rom, just try to scan the forums for that simple guide.
also i never did went back to the old firmware, i just let it go for a while and hope that either a new firmware update would fix it or the app side instead would.

I need advices on update to Android 4.3

Hello, I am receiving an official update on my S3 device by ota, It says the amount of 419.04MB. I suppose it is Android 4.3.
But this update is recomended? Does it have any problem, or lag, or Samsung fixed it on the update?
Please tell me if it is correct to update my mobile or not.
Regards and thanks to all of you.
For me it lagged extreme!
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3
ROM: CyanogenMod 11 (Temasek Unofficial V36 )
Kernel: Boeffla-Kernel-CM11-2.1-Beta9-
Version UGML4 is fine, a slight lag on waking from deep sleep but battery life is excellent.

Update your phone via a "SMART TERMINAL" or KIES.
I updated via OTA when I got home. The update went smooth... but the phone got awful slow/laggy/terrible.
A few days passed and I found a Samsung shop. Went in and saw an "update terminal."
After it finished, the phone was buttery smooth again.
Please note, that encryption will be MUCH SLOWER. So you cannot use it encrypted anymore. At least not like you used it. It will lag, it will stutter, all the crap you can imagine. Lucky I have insurance and I use a powerful password. So even if I get robbed I can reset the phone from home and get a new phone for cheap.
But yeah, I do miss the encryption feature, I felt safer that way. But it just got way too slow.
I even took the phone back to Samsung as in warranty repair, but they told me the policy says they can't downgrade so they just pushed up the 4.3 rom all over again. Meh.

Wifi Issues

Samsung galaxy s3 running on 4.3 does not connect to the wifi. Tried all kinds of solutions offered on the net but to no avail. The device is rooted. I am thinking if I could go back to the official ROM but to 4.2 since Wifi was working then, but could not find the ROM. All the links have been deactivated or removed from the sites. Can someone help please.

Hi,
You have Internationnal S3 i9300, right ?
To download official firmware, you can go :
- http://samsung-updates.com/
- http://www.sammobile.com/
EDIT : BTW, I think i9300 never had official Android 4.2 from Sammy. Maybe you had unofficial 4.2 ?
AFAIK It had 4.1.2 and then directly 4.3. But maybe I'm wrong...

Samsung Galaxy Alpha (SM-G850L) Queries

Hi guys!
I recently bought a 2nd hand Galaxy Alpha Korean Variant (LG U+) here in the Philippines for about 130 USD. I have done several Google-ing and successfully rooted my device (after several attempts and soft-bricks). Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the compatible TWRP md5/tar file for my phone (have tried several files but no luck). May anybody provide me the right one? My device has a baseband version of G850LKLU2CPJ1 and currently running Android 5.0.2.
Secondly, can I flash an international stock ROM (e.g. the stock ROM of SM-G850F) to my device? Is this safe?
Another is that, I came across several posts mentioning that a 2500mAh battery is available for samsung galaxy alpha, will it be compatible with mine even if mine is a Korean Variant? And may anybody provide a site or shop where the extended battery may be available?
Fourth thing is that I am using an LTE sim card and I have known for a fact that 4G/LTE signals are available in my location. However, when I am using this phone, it only registers 3G connections. Are there any tweaks that I can do to use the LTE signals?
Lastly, may anybody recommend a good ROM compatible with my phone. I very much enjoy using cyanogenmod ROMS but haven't installed any because of my custom recovery problem.
Thank you very much and hoping for some positive responses.

Theres a TWRP 3.0 for korean variants made by serenityS. Do not attempt to flash ROM for G850F/M/W to your G850L it will soft brick your device. The only compatible ROMs are G850S/K/L. Its hard to find a 2500mah. You can use 4G switcher available on google playstore for switching different bands. There is no stable build for CM ROM yet, you could try the epsilROM for the mean time.

Hi! I have just downloaded EpsilROM 4.2 and wanted to try it. Can I use the default recovery of samsung alpha to flash it? If not, can you provide the link of the TWRP file that is compatible with my device (I'm can't seem to find it). Thank you very much!
Also, I came across this post

Thank you very much!
PS:
I have tried the TWRP file provided in the link above, but always see "FAIL" in odin.

Of course you cannot flash a custom rom to the original/stock recovery manufacturers wont be liable for the damages to yoir phone due to incompatible of flashed ROMs.
1. You should root first.
2. Install custom recovery.
Galaxy Alpha (sltektt/SM-G850K). Galaxy Alpha ( sltelgt/SM-G850L). Galaxy Alpha (slteskt/SM-G850S).
Your phone variant is SLTELGT look for the thread of serenitys for TWRP 3.0 i havent tried the latest build of modpunk which 3.0.3
You can flash the above ROM jumbo alpha from twrp if you have a stock ROM. Its a debloated /system
