[Q] Can I completely wipe a carrier S3 GT-I9305? - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

I've just bought an ex Optus (Australia) network Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 4G.
When I booted it up it, ran through the Samsung setup procedure, the phone downloaded and updated to Jellybean 4.1.2.
After the update I put my sim in and successfully joined the 2 Degrees (New Zealand) cellphone network.
Although my phone works fine, I cannot remove/move a lot of the Optus apps, or the Optus startup/shutdown logo.
Anyway, I do want to root my phone and install a custom rom, which I successfully did before with my previous Galaxy S3 GT-I9300..
I found a rooting process specific to this model/carrier phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32036331
What I want to know is will rooting and ROMing the phone get rid of the Optus apps/startup logo etc...?

Any stock rom or custom rom removes Optus stuff .
You should format data sd card system and preload then boot to download mode and flash stock rom via Odin

Don't do it!!!!!! It does not work very well with Flash, makes it jerky. I am trying to downgrade back to Gingerbread. Flash worked well before upgrade to ICS. I wish I hadn't 'upgraded'.

don't do what?
i installed the german update with no problems it is not jerky.
iam in the uk and on vodafone
I updated my UK stock 4.0.3. to German 4.0.4 XXLRG and can confirm the wakelog problem has gone away.
I tried the German version 4.0.4 and found that a lot of apps that I'd installed on 4.0.3 stopped working ??
So I have gone back to the UK XEU 4.0.3 from Sammobile and await the UK version update to 4.0.4
What is the 'wakelog' problem with 4.0.3 ICS ?
The only problem I have experienced with 4.0.3 is the SIM card has difficulty registering on the network, I keep having to go to scan for networks to register and resetting / taking the battery out etc - pain in the back side!!
I'm wondering if I have any apps installed that can block outgoing phone calls without me knowing about it?
Like a firewall or something?
On the '3' network by the way !! :cyclops:
Try safe kernel, reboot recovery and clean, usually helps. It might need more cleaning on safe kernel. I prefer full clean install to prevent these issues.
Try dalvik and cache first, on safe kernel like speedmod. K3-11 is reported pretty wel from hardcore.
Sometimes fixing permissions alone helps from recovery on a kernel like speedmod.

I've changed 'csc' file on the phone to XEU still on 4.0.3 - N7000XXLQ2_N7000XXLPT_N7000XEULP4
So started fresh again anyway - CWM recovery mode and wiped all user data settings and initially:
NOW UNROOTED
Checked that wifi picked up signal and worked ok
Checked that data connection picked up signal and worked ok
Checked phone was registered on network and seemed to be ok
NOW ROOTED
Now I'm going to install just the app DATA from the CWM backup image I took before I changed the CSC from Eur (this came from the Multi csc from the German 4.0.4 rom) to Xeu (this came from the UK/IRE 4.0.3 rom) - Sammobile website
If any of the prior checks I made listed above don't work, then the problem has to lie with the app data, as I haven't used the image cache, kernel etc - ONLY the app data.
Now on a slightly other note if I took the German ICS 4.0.4 N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT - rom image and removed the MULTI csc cache file and replaced with the XEU from the 4.0.3 image - would that work?
Trick the phone into thinking it has a UK 4.0.4 rom installed?
Thanks for the replies :good::good:
NOW ROOTED - using CF-Root - SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2 - v5.6
APPS ADDED FROM PREVIOUS CWM 4.0.3 BACKUP IMAGE
YellowTriangle Away V 1.70 used to clear counts etc
Checked that wifi picked up signal and doesn't connect
Checked that data connection picked up signal and works ok occasionally
Checked phone was registered on network and seems hit and miss - registered one minute then not the next - unable to make calls - have to keep searching for networks manually - turning phone on / off / battery in / out !
Installed the 'Speedmod K3 - 11' as suggested earlier.
However now when I open CWM manager app, I get the message "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel.Various features have been disabled"
Something not right somewhere...
got it

Can't go back to 2.x

Hi guys,
A while ago I've used Odin to upgrade to 4.1.2 with the leaked firmware. But then I wanted to try out MIUI, so before I could simply root my N7000 I had to get back to Android 2.x.
I've tried about 5-10 different stock firmwares from the official firmware thread but sometimes it just goes into a loop and other times I cant get passed the 'click on the android' setup, I get errors like process stopped, or cant load etc. I have a Dutch N7000, tried European, Netherlands and German stocks. Upgrading to 4.1+ ROMS however is simple and always works.
I've been dying to go back to 2.x or at least root my N7000 to get MIUI working. When I go to the bootloader I get that I have CSC KOR.
Are you on a GB rom now? if yes then boot into recovery and do a factory reset

[Q] I9305T how to install CWM

I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 i9305t. Australian version of phone, I don't know if this makes any difference or not? Android version 4.3 I9305tdvuenc1 I have rooted the phone and installed Rom Manager and tried using Rom Manager to install CWM but am having no luck. It is saying to check internet connection and size of SD card but they are both fine. Is there another way to install CWM and if so what files would I need to do this?

Install Samsung Kies on your PC/MAC, and try flashing a new firmware with Kies. Follow the on screen instructions
I have tried that and tell me that my software is up to date have also tried a few different stock roms which were supposed to work with my phone with Odin and they all fail.
Flash the file in this thread.

No mobile data

Hello everyone, i am newbie here and got a problem. 3 days ago i wanted to flash the phone's original stock rom(from sammobile) in order to getting phone slow and laggy. After all processes done(system, data, dalvik etc. wipe, over odin and without any recovery and root), i saw that mobile data not working and upon this i reseted the apn, downloaded operator's apn settings, installed again the stock rom and some other custom roms and etc. But nothing else matters. By the way, when i first flashed the stock rom i have seen that there was some new stock apps like "Kleek", "Opera mini", "S suggest" ... which ones i never saw before with this stock rom and now installed again stock rom and they are still there.
Hope you can help me.
