Need ROM for my Stock 4.3 Jelly Bean i9300

Hey guys, so I finally got my hands on S3 and the Stock ROM on this is 4.3 and so out-dated now and it lags when I install many apps. I was planning on installing CM 11 official but it has got some bugs. Can someone please suggest a stable ROM without any bugs and good battery life? Lollipop or Kit-Kat whatever ROM you think is great.

"Not registered to the network" a Samsung recurring problem

$

First of all I would like greenmanin the samMobile forum for his efforts trying to help me solve the "not registered to the network" in my S3 , I still have the problem and two days ago I went to a Samsung service operator and the person there did not knew anything about firmwares or the phones itself, even more she said all the Samsung phones where defective and I should never update the phone OTA as this could burn my phone motherboard, also if I use a generic battery my phone will also burn etc etc etc, one thing she said is my phone came from France but she also said the phones for America and the ones for Europe where totally different so Samsung could not service my phone at least at that authorized Samsung service center, so I took my phone and went away from that place.

There is another Samsung certified service center capable of repairing my phone but still I want to learn how to fix it and as the very last resource I would send the phone to that service center.

I would not like to bother greenman again but from his posts I think he manage very well this issue, but any help would be very much appreciated.

My phone was bought in Amazon , unlocked and actually it is rooted. ( Not now)

And here is my phone info (Spanish)

S3 not charging/home made charger.

$

Hi my s3 is no longer charging. The USB micro port is damaged.

I am not anywhere near my home at the moment and I really need the phone. So I made the most ghetto charger known to man. Which is basically just a stripped USB cable attached to some paperclips acting as springs to charge the battery when it is removed from the phone. This actually works surprisingly well and consistently charges to 88% in a bit over an hour.

However, what I'm really interested in (and I want to stress that this is only a temporary solution while I'm travelling) is what are the two gold pins in the middle, left on the back of the phone for?
I believe they are for attaching an extended battery to the back of the phone.

However I can't find any information on them, nor do I have a multimeter with me.

Can I just apply 4.5 volts to these two pins so I can charge my phone while using it?
Also which is positive and which is negative.

I just need a quick and dirty solution, thanks.

Does anyone know of a KK or Lollipop ROM that supports it?

Charging issues tricks

$

Hey guys, being a lucky s3 user,i have faced severe charging issues in past times. If you had them too,this thread might just help you out.

Q1- My battery is charging very slowly.

Q2- My battery drains on using heavy apps even when it is put on charging.

And some related questions to charging issues of s3 just can be solved by the following method:-

Step1:- Check the charger output. Mostly,people get 500A (ampere) current charger that is half of that of original. So you know you are giving half charging to your beloved s3,don't expect it to charge fast.

Buy chargers with 1A current as output.

Step2:- If you use adapter with 1A output,the issue can still persist. Why? Because your usb cable attached to adapter might not be drawing sufficient current (1A). Try some other cords.

Step3:- You have a good charger,be it good adapter and cable,and still have the issue! What now?

This is the fundamental method of checking charging:
To do this,simply download Galaxy charging current app from playstore (Note:Requires root). Plug in the charger and check how much current you are getting using refreshes in app. This will help you assess better.

Step4:- The charging fluctuates,sometimes 1A,sometimes 460ma and sometimes just 100ma,what now? This is the issue with your charging jack where you insert the charging pin. What you can do? You can either get the jack replaced or maybe buy some cover that is tight enough to hold the pin without movement. (i do same since its cheaper :p )

Hope this thread helps yoi out of some miseries.

Hey,
I just flashed the CM12.1 ROM by Temasek yesterday and tried to gain root access again.
Downloaded the SuperSu 1.94 and flashed it with the recovery.
Installed SuperSU from the Play Store but as I try to open the SuperSU option in the settings, I always get this message: There is no SU binary installed. SuperSU cannot install it - You need to manually re-root.
Does anybody know how to get root again?
Thanx very much.

I'm currently running Archidriod 1.x on my rooted S3 but I have an unrooted S3 here, and would like to try a few ROMs on that see if I can get it to be more responsive. It's currently heavy with default Samsung/Vodafone bloat.

At the moment he cant use his phone so i need a stable rom on his phone as hes too old to learn how to flash.

Any recomendations is greatly appreciated.

Galaxy S3 I9300 Rooted RevolutionaryROM- How Do I revert Back To Stock Firmware?

$

Hi! I own a Galaxy S3 I9300 1GB RAM, 64GB which I've rooted, changed its ODIN and installed this ROM and now I'm very sorry I've done that. I ask you to help me, telling how can I install back the stock ROM, which is this one.

I'm not experienced in stuff like this at all; when I first changed it to 4.3.0 from 4.1.2, I've installed another recovery mode (like Safe Mode in Windows) called TeamWinRecovery, from where I installed afterwards the 4.3.0 ROM; now, to install that 4.1.2 again I have to change it back to the stock 'Safe Mode', and this is where I'm stuck. I followed all the steps to install the ODIN shown here but it doesn't work. PLEASE HELP ME!

:( :(

Hello All,
Almost new to this forums.
I am here to offer a translation into Spanish for the TWRP basic theme.
It was part of a project for college and as a part of the project it should be made available for everyone to enjoy.
Please tell me if you like the translation and if you think anything could be improved.

How can I post a link to the translation to make it available? I have the ui.zip file already.

Thank you very much,

Please help - lost all photos!

Hi,

I have googled online on how to recover photos from S3 internal memory and used Recuva and also Wondershare Dr Fone.

For both, all it scans are WhatsApp images and facebook images I believe.

What happened was that I selected one image hoping to delete that but instead, it selected all images and I was too quick to press delete...so I ended up deleting all images in the internal storage. These were my holiday photos as well! :crying:

This phone is not rooted...Any ideas on how to fix please?

I have not taken any photos after this happened.

Thanks!

PIE GPS blob for i9300

$
0
0
Hi everybody,

Not sure if anyone frequents this anymore but I have started a project set to replace the npe GPS vendor blob of the i9300. This is so that the android/bionic patch will no longer be required and we can push for CM and other official rom support from Lollipop upwards.

The nexus 7 (Grouper) has the same GPS chipset as we do on the i9300 (BCM47511 ) and the blobs are PIE, so a straight swap should be easy.

Turns out not quite the case, I have got it so that the phone can find satellites, a little bit slow, but finds them nonetheless. However I can't get it to fix on them yet.

If people are interested in this project I will post up, what I have done and any logs etc I have gathered. I can't say for sure but I imagine that the solution for the i9300 would be very similar to that of the Samsung Note N7000 as well, if any devs from there are interested.
