reboot to recovery and wipe cache everything
reboot to download mode
use Odin and flash tarball set to PDA with no re-partition/PIT files
flashing succeeded
bootloop at Samsung logo
went in recovery to try to wipe but droid the stands there with the rolling ball for >15 mins
*
so you stuck at boot loop, its not not being able to boot at all,

try flash cwm using odin, then wipe the phone using the cwm

So everyone here got the Premium Suite update already? Actually what I really want to know is have ppl who bought Celcom set got this update? I'm not sure how Samsung release their updates, whether it depends on the carrier or not.
*
most people here are already on the premium suite, because they flash it them self , the update didnt come to their phone because
the update is still not OFFICIAL, all the premium suite here are unofficial.
so yeah, normal phone wont have the premium suite yet.

doesnt matter where you get your phone, if samsung realease it officially, you will get your updates the same as everyone else, unless you are impatient, you can be like us the guinea pigs and test the leak/unofficial/testing firmware.

Hi, to all the sifus here,  smile.gif
sorry, but I'm really noob at this.
If i want to update the phone to 4.1.2,
Where shall I start from?

Is is start from 'how to root' from the first page?
then to CWM... and so on?

Hope you guys can teach me on this.
Thanks a lot.  notworthy.gif
*
depends on which ending you want

ending 1- stock unofficial 4.1.2 -> no need anything else, just straight go odin (see flash custom rom on page 1)
ending 2- custom rom of 4.1.2 -> root -> cwm -> flash custom rom

either way steps are easy, eventhough ending 2 require abit more step

Thanks silentser,  smile.gif

Which ending is better? Stock unofficial or custom rom?
Which ending you would recommend?

Thanks again.  nod.gif
*
stock always the most stable.

custom rom sometimes not stable, but they do provide smoothness if they are stable, and they added some tweaks (faster,smoother, and some i dont know what for but they are there)

i made a typo on last reply, (see flash stock official rom on post 1)

Don't know? I just installed those common apps such as Facebook, Gmail etc... no complicated or developer apps. Even only had 3 free games in my phone (Bad Piggies, Angry Birds Star Wars and Virtual Tennis) laugh.gif
The file was not deleted, but I believe it is corrupted? That's why they were moved to LOST.DIR folder, just like chkdsk in Windows that it will place every "lost chucks" or corrupted files to FOUND folder. At least this is what I learn after Googled about the purpose of LOST.DIR folder.
Meaning I am alone in this problem...  cry.gif
Factory Reset? This is going to me my nightmare...  laugh.gif
That means I have to purchase Titanium Backup to save and backup everything?
But hold on, I will observe few more days since just tried format the card using the phone itself.
If problem come back, I will go to exchange a new card since it is lifetime warranty before doing Factory Reset.  tongue.gif

Many thanks for all the helps, these are really useful to me because now I know no other S3 exhibit this problem, I may got a faulty card or phone settings.  nod.gif
*
isnt lost.dir is for when you disconnect your phone from computer too fast, the file isnt finish transfering yet

Thanks for helping, tigerporc!  smile.gif

Whatever from IntSD to ExtSD were done using "My Files" app that come with the phone. Also tried "Solid Explorer" (a file manager), same problem.  laugh.gif

By the way, I never tried move files between IntSD to ExtSD using a computer, too lazy to plug in/out the cable.  biggrin.gif

Also had experienced took photos with camera that I set to save to ExtSD by default. After reboot, all photos from that entire shooting session were gone.  sad.gif  (not really gone, but were moved to LOST.DIR, I can find them and rename the files to filename.jpg one-by-one to get them back.)

sounds like microSD card is the problem..... try changing the microSD card? if the one you have now is a cheap fake one, which usually given out when you buy the phone, try one that is confirm genuine brand,

fake microSD can be a tricky son of a muther fuker, example : insert to phone -> ok, insert to camera -> not detect, check windows 8GB, transfer file fuuuuu only 4GB can be insert, all after that is corrupted, only file name is there.

Hi Guys, I just got my S3 last night, titanium grey 16GB, added myself into the owner list, auto upgraded to JB 4.1.1 when I connected my phone to Wifi.

I would like to ask what's the recommended casing, screen protector and memory card (32 or 64, class 6 or 10?) for our S3?

I took the package from Maxis where I only need to pay RM899 for my S3.

How to check memory from standard apps or we need to install third party apps?

oh ya, add on 1 more question, what's the recommended navigation apps? The current standard one have no voice guiding.
*
all other question is up to your preferences.....

how to check memory, what kind of memory? RAM? internal memory? external memory?
recommended? waze if you have data connection, sygic or papago if you have money for offline navigation. install brut map if you want google navigation for a whole load of POI all over the place

Hope you guys here can help.

I just bought my S3 recently and I  am having problem beaming a file to another NFC device. My S3 can receive file from the other device but I cant beam the file to that device. Everytime I try to beam, there will be a message popping out asking me to turn on the S beam and the other device do not have S beam. Any help?

Btw, does the motion feature drain battery?
*
s beam -> s beam only

other use android beam

MTP USB device failed.
Under device manager the following message on device status
"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

Today afternoon visited samsung service center in PJ, they unable to solve the issue.

Anyone here have solved this problem?

when you say they unable to solve the issue, how actually they try to solve it? you bring in your laptop?
