Guys any good custom rom to flash? Stable fast & easy on the battery. Hows the stock 4.3? Thx 

Hi,
I have an S3 that has this fail to mount /efs (invalid argument)
when I do a system recovery. It does not boot up and stays on the logo. Kies firmware installation & recovery also failed to solve this issue.
What can I do and how much to fix this.

Not to scare you, but i was hit with the same issue last month..running stock 4.1.2..started with sudden reboot..once a day..then the frequency increase until reboot loop never stop..only that i'm lucky since have few days warranty left...sent to samsung and they said the motherboard failed. They changed the MB to fix. I hope yours is not the MB problem..

ah, its not me lol... its wanam...

Guys, recently my new bought S3 (approximately 3 months of age) encountered a hang and lag problem which force me to restart phone everyday !

I dropped the phone 3 times within this 3 months (from chair to floor height).

Is that the reason which makes my S3 lag and hang ?

Help pls~ I don't want to be regretted for buying a lag and hang phone >.<

Need help here
Odin does not detect my s3 at all when in download mode
What should I do?

I did not cause this as this unit was used by our staff and when return I found this so now I am stuck.

Sorry not familiar with these kind of stuffs

Oh btw is that link the latest 4.3 that just came out, which xeactorz posted on?

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/12/05/samsun...s-iii-gt-i9300/

I also read the last page of that XDA website about CSC and BTU and compatibility etc. Can we still use that 4.3 Ireland Rom for our malaysian set?

Actually I already have 4.3 stock (the earlier samsung problematic one) so this link you gave me:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

is the same thing right? (Since you said bro xeactorz news is not out yet)

All I have to do is to flash that China kernel right?

Hope Im doing this right

Ok good, so I have to flash the kernel only.

I'm using Mobile Odin Pro. just transfer the china kernel into my phone and unzip it from there right?

All done! No more screen lock lag  

hi guys i need some suggestion here
samsung galaxy s3 or samsung galaxy s3 LTE ?

Hi guys, I flashed 4.3 Omega Rom and then followed by the China Kernel. Now I think I lost my root privilege as I have the following messages "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it". Anyone experienced this before?

What kernel do you recommend for custom ROM 4.3 to address the battery draining issue?

Never mind about that. I have another question (sorry, I am new to this). I have backup my contacts, msg, etc using Titanium in my old 4.1.2 ROM. After flashing the 4.3 ROM, how do I restore this? I installed Titanium but it seems to have no backed-up data.
