Would updating to a buisness prl give us roaming on networks a consumer wouldn't usually get

EDIT: now my prl version is 60679

Interesting, I just went from 60676 to 01120.

I too am curious what this means and which is the better one to have.

Just went from 60676 to 00120. I guess it reaches to Los Angeles
[Epic 4G General] kwazytazz:
it probably wont stick and get reverted back overnight as i've read somewhere, weird i get sprint discount and i got the new prl

Being rooted will help you get your MSL easier (just one of the steps you need to do.)

But you can follow this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898628

Now instead of loading a prl onto the phone, your going to "read from phone" and then click save file.

According to: http://www.howardforums.com/printthread.php?t=1581321

"when you save file it saves 2 files. the one with rl0 extension is actlually a PRL, just rename it."

Hope that helped

So I downloaded Root Explorer and was messing around with it, trying to change my boot animation and now all my apps that require root access no longer work. It says that i dont have super user permission, but I still have the SU icon. My phone still says S-off, so i dont know....

I tried restoring a backup from rom manager, but nothing happens. I even did a factory reset, but nothing.

Any Ideas?

Root

What kind of phone? And can you manually boot into Cwm recovery? If so I would try a restore from there.
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
Hi,

just wanted to tell you that I got an e-mail from samsung customer service germany that says gingerbread (probably 2.3.3) will be released for galaxy 3 within the second quarter this year, which would mean that it should come this month.

Can anyone confirm this or did the service worker just mix this up with gingerbread for galaxy S?
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Probably a mix up but lets wait and see.
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
maybe someone else writes another e-mail to confirm this.

I'd love to see gingerbread on my G3 (:
[Galaxy 3 General] grgsujan:
This month they declared that samsung galaxy s and other few devices will be getting ginger bread 2.3.3 . Don't even expect gingerbread on our phone unless for custom phones. Samsung made us buy this phone with the promise to deliver froyo, now it has delivered , it will never look back for it . you can see spica for example ... Which has 800mhz processor still, they haven't given them froyo. Samsung are cunning bastards! They want you to nut new phones.
[Galaxy 3 General] mary.jones:
Can you pls post the email ..... :) would be really happy to see offi ginger on sg3
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
I'll post the e-mail when I'm back home as I saved it on my desktop computer.

I asked wether they plan to release gingerbread for galaxy 3.

basically the e-mail said that they don't know an exact date but they'll release it within the second quarter this year.

the e-mail is in german anyway ^^
[Galaxy 3 General] RafayelG:
I just sent a E-mail to Samsung. waiting for response.
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
This is the e-mail that I sent to samsung:

roughly in englisch I just asked if and when gingerbread comes to the G3

When sending a request you also have to choose to which mobile phone your request refers.

The answer:

which means in englisch that they plan to release the update within the second quarter of this year. (but she didn't explicit mention the G3 )
[Galaxy 3 General] RafayelG:
I just got a mail from samsung and its uuh...

[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:

[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
wow, that answer is absolutely NOT satisfying!

did anyone else try to contact samsung?

btw, are we the only who care for gingerbread here?

seems nobody else feels responsible to write a two sentence e-mail...
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
I didnt even know you could email them but I'll try calling them.
[Galaxy 3 General] RafayelG:
i used google translate :p blame google
[Galaxy 3 General] haree:
hi

guys sorry to break the bubble but in my country they have stopped this phone ie it is no move available for sale in india(as per samsung store info i got they have stopped production) as they have introduced a lot of new phones so i dont think we will get the 2.3.3 official update:(

but then their are some developers working on it and im sure we will get it from them soon:D:D
[Galaxy 3 General] guziolek91:
I wrote to Polish section of Samsung and they answered me that Gingerbread will be at the end of June.

It's in polish:
[Galaxy 3 General] RafayelG:
so it will be released :)

Edit: this month
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
only because it's no more on sale doesn't mean that there's no more support for it. samsung signed a contract in which they assure that they update their devices (as long as the hardware is capable of it) for 18 months, and it seems that this is not only for the new state of the art phones but as well as the galaxy 3. send an e-mail to samsung customer service in your country. then you get facts. only because everyone says that it's not likely G3 will get gingerbread because it's such a low-budget device doesn't mean samsung isn't working on it.

which is the same samsung germany told me. so for europe it's most likely we get an gingerbread update within the next two weeks (:

did anyone from the US or other parts of the world contact samsung customer service?
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
It's highly unlikely that the will release it at the end of june, if they realease it at all that is... It's probably a mixup with SGS. BTW guys if you did't notice, IT'S SAMSUNG for f**k sake! They dont care about low end phones like our G3 unfortunately
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
then why should they tell us that the update is coming this month?

we got independent statements from samsung germany and poland that they will release an update.

the update for SGS is already out (at least in germany, don't know if it was released everywhere). this makes makes a mixup quite unlikely.

sry, but I put more trust in what samsung customer service tells me than in speculations of users. I know that G3 is a low-end device. but if they say they release an update then why shouldn't they?

I mean they have no reason to lie, they could just say as the G3 is EOL they won't release any more updates and everyone would accept it.
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
Because they did it with froyo update, first it was february than it was by the end of april, some countries got the update some are still hanging and won't recieve it at all. Good thing we have stuff like XDA and Samfirmware...
[Galaxy 3 General] guziolek91:
So, this is about final update Froyo ?
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
well but froyo got released at least in most locations, so I think we'll get gingerbread as well.

I'm so optimistic ^^
[Galaxy 3 General] guziolek91:
Me too ;p we'll see
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
yea, we'll see, but i can bet that it won't be released or even leaked by the end of the june. Lets hope im wrong :P
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Yeah, I think this is going to be released. In about a year a so :)
[Galaxy 3 General] (•.•):
gingerbread would be good of course..

afaik froyo have some serious security issues and all others below.

Just gingerbread fixes that. looking forward for an official release or better an official custom rom :D
[Galaxy 3 General] shreyasharusia:
I had also written a mail to samsung india.They replied that they dont have any information about it.

originally posted by samsung

As per Information Samsung mobile model GT-I5801 for v2.3 (GINGERBREAD)

Android version, we don’t have any official upgradation information in

INDIA so kindly bear with us till then.
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
I'd still like someone from the US to write a mail to samsung, just to see what they're telling us.
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
I've sent amother e-mail to samsung, just to be on the save side. They still say gb is in development, but now they don't give a date for the release. So it might take some time untill we see an official gb rom for G3
[Galaxy 3 General] vishnu:
Sorry to break your bubble, but do NOT expect Samsung to release another upgrade for our mobile. But do not be disheartened. If you are keen on running Gingerbread on your phone, head over to this thread. A couple of developers are right now in the process of porting 2.3 (CyanogenMod) for us, and have even released an Alpha version. Feel free to give it a try :).
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Well there have been around 5-6 people E-mailing and they all got the same response that it is coming so I say lets wait and see.
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
I'm still of the opinion that if samsung doesn't plan to release GB for the G3 they wouldn't keep telling us that they're going to do it.

I'll give the cyanogenmod port a try as soon as it's beta ;)

Let's see what happens first, a GB rom from samsung or CM port for G3 reaching beta :D
[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
I sent an email to samsung regarding the gingerbread firmware version for our phone. Here is what they replied to me.

"Dear Kyrillos Gaitanis,

Thank you for contacting Samsung and I have pleasure in providing the

following assistance.

Regarding your case, kindly note that there has been a release to the

Gingerbread Android Firmware version, only for the Samsung Galaxy S

phones, contracted with Vodafone, and the Open Market ones.

Please note if your phone isn’t eligible for the upgrade, due to the

above reasons, then you will need to note that the Firmware upgrade is

still under development, and we greatly appreciate your patience on this

matter. Our development team is currently working on improving the

operation of the Firmware version.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this incident.

If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and

we will be more than happy to help.

Kind regards,

Aya Smith

I am from Greece, and i sent an email to samsung uk...
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
why that? doesn't samsung have a local support for greece?

look at the cyanogenmod port, G3 is able to run Gingerbread.

no one said that it can't. even samsung (at least in most countries) keeps telling us that GB for G3 is in developement.

(it just might take some months until they release it)
[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
It has but it Samsung Hellas sucks :D
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
okay :D

can't say the same about samsung germany, fast answers on support questions. but i never had to deal with them because of product problems.

maybe they suck when something's broken ^^
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Yeah it took 6months for Froyo who knows how long it'll take for gingerbread and you can forget about ice cream sandwich.
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
samsung is talking bull****, customer support doesn't know anything about updates, they don't even know the difference between SG3 and SGS... leave the official update and go support marcellusbe's work and donate if u can
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
I really appreciate marcellusbe's work, but still it wouldn't hurt to have an official GB rom for the G3.

I don't know where you're from but samsung customer service in germany seems to be quite reliable and well informed.

If you think samsung sucks then don't buy their products or bomb their customer service with e-mails.

that's the only way they will learn that people think their product support sucks.
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
well, official gingerbread would be awesome of course, but from what i read in the previous posts they don't know what they are talking about. They are not good with updates, that was proved when froyo was about to roll out, everyone got a different response from their customer support, even if they are from the same country - the same is hapening now. Don't get me wrong, i love samsung and their products, what i meant was don't take customer support emails seriously. BTW I'm from Croatia, I'm not getting my hopes high about anything because it's not going to happen here xD
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I emailed samsung also and this is what I've got (in Dutch) : De update naar Android 2.3 staat in de planning, maar een exacte releasedatum is bij ons nog niet bekend.

De verwachting is dat deze update voor eind Juni uitkomt.

Zodra deze update beschikbaar is, krijgt u hiervan een melding in het programma KIES op het moment dat u

uw telefoon koppelt aan de computer.

Indien u nog vragen hebt, kunt u altijd contact opnemen met ons Contactcenter op telefoonnummer 0900-

SAMSUNG (0900-7267864) voor Nederland of 022012418 voor België, op werkdagen van 09.00 -18.00 uur.

Voor een snelle en efficiënte behandeling van uw probleem, adviseren wij u om de volgende gegevens

paraat te hebben als u belt: uw klantnummer, uw IMEI-nummer en uw type toestel.

Wij hopen u hiermee voldoende geïnformeerd te hebben.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Samsung Electronics Benelux B.V.

Wich means in English: were planning to make the update to android 2.3, but we do not know an exact release date. We expect the update to come before the end of June.

When the update is available you can see it in kies... Etc.

I hope they don't mean another phone.
[Galaxy 3 General] GalaxyDrei:
If that were true, it would be great, but I don't think so...

Just google "Galaxy 3 Froyo Official" and you'll find a lot of answers of the customer service where they announced the Froyo Update much earlier...

I think marcellusbe and his team are faster than Samsung ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
Well, most e-mails from samsung customer service are telling that they are working on an official update.

but i think it's going to be like the froyo update. It's still going to take months until they release it.
[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
Here is a convertation between samfirmware and me:

Me: UK, Nederland, INDIA (?), Germany, Poland. The latest two countries say that will be released in the end of June!

Samfirmware: ok will check it next week bit stange they told me (Netherlands) only froyo.

Me: I dont believe them too. But thanks :) Keep me updated :P
[Galaxy 3 General] vishnu:
I didn't know G3 met the minimum specs for Gingerbread! :confused:
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
customer service germany canceled the release date they told at first. now they don't know when it will be released ^^

as far as i know the android dev team stated that everey device that is able to run froyo will be able to run GB as well.

[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
Because we wanna see the samsung's support for his customers.

Its awesome that we have Marcellusbe to port Gingerbread AOSP & CM to our phone, but it would be much easier if we already had Gingerbread rom & sources from Samsung. Marcellusbe is working very hard to do it and i thank him for this!! :D
[Galaxy 3 General] mpbm23:
Maybe we should say to Samsung developers to fork Marcellube port so the will do something right and quickly.:)

Or they could just hire Marcellube.:p
[Galaxy 3 General] marcellusbe:
The second option is the best :p

If they do so I guess we'll get ice cream sandwich too

cheers

[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
I sent an email to Samsung Hellas (Greece) too, and the answer is that there is no Gingerbread Update currently. But the answer would be the same if i asked them for the froyo update.. Lol Samsung Hellas!
[Galaxy 3 General] cdesai:
Samsung makes real cool phones the best of the competition but their customer support is crap

They can't differentiate between two devices and they are always unsure about updates

Even the galaxy Tab hasn't received gingerbread yet(officially in india) so how do you expect a device like Galaxy 3 to get it before the tab

Think guys

I am not telling we won't get gingerbread(but I am also not telling we'll get it officially) but the point is the customer support is never sure
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
there's no use for gingerbread on the galaxy tab anyway cause it's for smartphones

honeycomb is for tablets ;)

well but ice cream sandwhich will be for both classes of devices ^^
[Galaxy 3 General] xXfreshXx:
Maybe it's useful to write to Samsung support and ask for the gb update for "Samsung i5800" !?!

Unofficial system

huh ...I'm still waiting for the Unofficial system ......:)
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
Really, they don't have best devs in the customer support, so all they can do is wonder "The heck is gingerbread?" and give you that automated message which is either "Galaxy 3 comes with eclair 2.1" and "Check Kies for updates" :)
[Galaxy 3 General] sharukins:
devs in customer support would be a waste of resources anyway.

problem is that the communication within the company is really bad.

I've just recently registered but have been lurking for a while and doing a lot of reading. I've seen there are a bunch of different options for rooting a evo. Also seems like there's a lot of out dated ways to root as well. I'm still new to this and have some questions. Looking to have full root access. As far as I understand it, I will need to run a rom after rooting the device? Will I still be able to receive sprint updates as need once I root? My main reasons for rooting is for the wifi teether, maybe overclocking to speed it up a little bit and to remove the factory sprint apps. I did have a friend tell me that once his buddy rooted his evo he noticed his battery life was a lot better. Anyone experience that? What other info do I need to provide you? Thanks

Update: Was running 2.2 froyo till my phone just did the 2.3 gingerbread update and now my internet doesn't work. Is there any way to root now or am I screwed and have to deal with sprint?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k_nivesout:
You don't need to flash a rom after rooting but you definitely can. As far as updating, I'm not 100% sure about sprint, but I think you need to be stock to receive an OTA update. For rooting your device, use unrevoked, its an incredibly simple one click root program.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darkstar72:
Unrevoked is the quick and easy way to root. Once rooted you WILL NOT get Sprint updates. If you get your 2.3 Sprint update and apply it you WON'T be able to root.

You can run stock 2.2 Android with Sense rooted and not load any ROMs. I do not know if you'll be able to wifi tether by only being rooted. I do know that there are several ROMs that have Android 2.3 Gingerbread and have wifi tether working so if you do root your 2.2 install Amon_Ra recovery then flash Cyanogen Mod 7. Instructions are on his Wiki which I can't post a link to since I'm new forum user here.

[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
An SBF file is a file to restore your phone if something goes wrong. But we don't have one right now, so if it breaks it breaks. You can use gingerbreak to root it and freeze MOTOBLUR crap to make it a lot faster.

Sorry no clue on your market issue I haven't heard of that one before and as far as blur goes... you can't really freeze blur.. its motorolas touchwiz (saw you came from a fascinate) but nitro is also from the fascinate and he wrote a great thread here on what's safe to freeze to clean the phones up a little bit. =) sorry on my phone so I can't link it but the title is "getting started with the X2" thread.
