So, what is the latest firmware? Cannot tahan to wait for official dy. haha.

samsung 4.1.2
aokp 4.2.1

flashing the official one wont save you from SDS case, must use supported recovery, kernel and rom

That is what I am trying to find out.

4.1.2 was rolled out in the UK before Samsung had completed the patch for SDS so they issued another update to take care of the issue. Now it is being reported that the patch has been incorporated into future 4.1.2 rollouts but it is unclear whether the Malaysia version is included.

That is why I asked someone to check using the eMMC app but Nokiaxxxx seems to think that won't reveal anything. Who knows ?

I checked Kies, no new firmware yet.

That would mean getting Custom Firmware right? For those still prefer using Stock Firmware may just have to wait.

But the main issue with JB is the option to move apps to SD card, root is not the main issue, the issue is moving mods done for moving apps to SD via different method and later IF updating to the new firmware later breaking what's been done.
Anyone rooted and moved their data or use Link2SD method and updated their firmwares?

ELLC

that what I do
yet, how I wish my phone get SDS issue since still under warranty

btw this 4.1.2 totally weird, some get OTA, some not
no idea for kies, nobody test it
and can't even download from sammobile website

From what I have read, the eMMC sudden death workaround is present in all kernels of known 4.1.2 releases so IMHO you should not have any worries about Malaysia version when it is released (released via OTA already actually as you can see from this thread)

That eMMC app is to actually to help S2 users check on their eMMC for their bricked S2 issue. The only reason why we would run it on our S3 is to easily find out the eMMC firmware version. This eMMC firmware version will never EVER be upgraded, no matter what ROM we flash as end users.

Let me updated mine then i will post for your... Me also waiting for kies or OTA updates....

U forgotten to ask Samsung Malaysia whether the latest update will solve the SDS issue. Maybe you should do us a favor and make them a call. We would appreciate it very much.

Rooted phone cannot update thru OTA.
But is it can update thru kies?

Thanks for that, I have read a lot of Entropys posts but missed the one where he explained that

anyone here encounter problem with battery charging ? i charged my S3 when it hit 4%........charged for 7 hours...only up to 14% !!! problem with battery or charger ?? tqvm

Rooted phones can update through Kies. After update, you will lose root (all apps will not be affected, still remains)
Pre-req is CSC, PDA and Phone all must be synchronised (You will get a warning message on this if your phone has this issue)

But, so far the Malaysia 4.1.2 is not yet pushed out to Kies update yet.... Should be available over Kies as well if you see the 4.1.2 Malaysia ROM on SamMobile.

Install current widget and check charging mA...
Battery Monitor Widget is also useful to check pct of charging over time.

Thanks mate~

Moving data to SD via rooting or using Link2SD, what will happen after update? Break the app<>data connection?

Anyone have any experience?

Installed Batt Indicator app liao.....not really helping

Why not helping?
It will confirm your charging problem whether due to charger or battery. E.g. if charging at 499mAH or less then probably usb charger/cable problem.
