No Worries Needed...

well,you can be sure that in closed future you'll be able to unlock your bootloader but till that promotion you can simply root your device,install rom manager,flash clockworkmod recovery.

Start rooting your device here:http://www.unlockroot.com/index.htm

Hey thanks man..u took some pressure off me..ok one more thing..is there a link or something where i could follow if some thing comes up for the bootloader, some thread already working on it ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peter_dizai:
Of course there are...

Of course there are some suitable & useful links on XDA but most unfortunately,this website is banned in my country and takes me a long time to provide you these links,I'm so sorry about that.:(

That sux man, I got my mopho off cowboom last week and it came with 2.3.4. If its ang consolation I tried cm9 but it wasnt polished to my liking as of yet (no chrome or opera browser and multitouch games sucked)

Pretty much only thing an unlocked bootloader will allow you is custom kernels and I personally love the stock 2.3.5 kernel

you might want to look into using PROMS to get your modding fix until we find a way around the fuse issue. i believe proms are themed roms that run over stock.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mijalkocar:
so i have alcatel ot990, officially this phone has only 2.3.4 and its rubbish, :D.. i want to port 4.0.4 to this phone, cm9, what i need? example i want cm9 of wildfire s to port to my phone.. is it possible? what about kernel? do i need to mod that either? sorry for bad english...any help appreciated..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
In order to port you already have to have some sort of aosp ics rom available...

If you at least have a kernel that works with ics then you can build cm9 (or other roms) from source...

From what I can tell from your post...there is no ics rom available for your device and there's no ics kernel available either. If that's the case then I'm sorry but porting with this guide or any other guide will not work...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jarjar124:
im trying to port slim ics and it bootedd but stuck in a boot loop :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Yeah slims a tricky one...make sure you use the runtime lib from the original slim in your port...and remember...for slim you need to use stuff from both the base and the I9000 essentials...

Also though...you can only port slim for personal use...porting of slim is not allowed by the original creator except for personal use...so don't even think about uploading it lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
what about aokp roms? what should be used as base rom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] isaiahe97:
Aokp is aosp

Any ics 4.0.4 rom find the one tbafs has the leasts bugs.

Id use aokp as base if you're porting aokp
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
That was my initial thought so I used another port and already managed to at least boot. But something tells me there's a better way..

since there's no official AOKP build for the infuse, I would have to build from source, right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Yes, or you could use nuns uniporn since that was from source...although I think it is now yumas uniporn...and if you learn to build from source...you can probably port from source instead-most aosp and aokp have there source available
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
Will be trying both then, thanks for your help !
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
For the AOKP builds, i can tell you from experience that unless you build it from source, your going to have random FCs and things wont work like they are supposed to... That is unless you use the same build number from someone else that has already built it.. Like for instance if you use Yuma's build 40 you would be able to do it with the AOKP build 40 files and folders, but as soon as they release 41 and you try to use the source build from 40 as a base and port from AOKP build 41, your going to run into problems somewhere.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
Question...

Where can I grab some bone-stock AOSP firmwares? I see the Nexus got some Jelly Bean goodness and I want to try my hand at porting that to the Infuse.

(Or maybe I should stick to fixing MHL first?)... :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Go wit hml first, lol jellybean is going to be a lot tougher to do with a longer fixing time . Got antwhere with mhl?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
I figured since the bean is a close relative it shouldn't be hard to port, oh well.

On the MHL front, I still have to get the libs and drivers ported. I can't even initialize the device under ICS without them. There is something hardware-specific going on but I get no output to debug, no indication that its even connected.

The chase continues...

Gonna try to use this method to port Stock ICS 4.0.4 (from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1744527) and my base ROM going to be my curent ROM...

Wil it work... both ROMs are 4.0.4 AFAIK...will it work?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
I cant say for certain whether or not it will work as the infuse never had a stock ics rom so I was never able to do it...however you should be able to port but it will most likely require more work since we don't know what the manufacturer put in the rom...the wonderfull thing about aosp is that for the most part they are all pretty similar

So im working on porting slimIcs rom, and I have it booting and everything works that I can test besides wifi/data/cell service. do you know what i did wrong? i think its one of the libs i replaced but i can figure out which one
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Off the top of my head I can't think of it...not at home but when I get home ill look into my old build...if you could extract the libs subfolder into its own zip and upload it so I can compare the two that may help...but remember, you are not allowed to upload this rom for others to use...you can only port it for personal use

[Samsung Infuse 4G] lexsupa:
thanks for the guide ! i'm now starting to port a rom for personal use but i have a question.

you said that you use UNOFFICIAL CM9 for the Infuse 4G (06/27/2012) for your port. however i noticed that there are some features (camera, wifi, bluetooth...) are not working perfectly in that base rom. so if i port a no-bugs rom base on that one, are those features going to work ? or i have to base on another full working rom (like Paranoid port for infuse).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
You have a Samsung infuse? Just use the latest cm9 available

What ever bugs are in the current cm9 will also be present in the Rom you port
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lexsupa:
yes I have a Rogers Infuse, so what is the base rom you recommend ?

because the latest paranoid port for infuse have no major bugs, i wonder what base rom they used
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Just use cm9, but the newest build...if you wanna know what they used for a base then pm the op of paranoid
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supernewbdev:
Porting jelly bean

Just thought id say this same tutorial works to port aosp jelly bean roms, using our cm10 as the base
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Thanks for the heads up...thought it would but its nice to have it confirmed by someone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] csandman1977:
So now that the infuse with jelly bean are on mtd file systems, we can port other rom's with mtd?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Correct, if you use mtd cm10 then you can port mtd roms...at least you should be able to
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lol im feared:
made my own aokp rom with cm10 10/15, everything is working but the wifi wont turn on.

is there something i need to replace for it to work?

I also cant connect to data or add an APN
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Awesome:
Which one should I wait for or get?

I know with 4G it'd be more expensive though but it will have Snapdragon, which I don't really like.

But Exynos should have a better performance and I could brag about the new Exynos chip but the downside is LTE doesn't work with it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph00ny:
1. S4 is actually a decent SoC

2. If you live in an area with decent HSPA speeds then it might not be too bad to go with 3G version
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GS3Central:
Depends on where you are located. If you are in the US where LTE is supported, I would go for the 4G since you will be paying alot less than the international price. If you are in the UK, I would get the quad core version with a carrier that gives you a plan on that. I'm in the US and if any carrier offers the quad core version, I would take that instead of the 4G because I don't even have 4G in my area, and I think more phone power would be better since WiFi is everywhere now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Awesome:
I'm in Australia, we just got LTE last year but only on one carrier.

And they're gonna be expensive, probably like around 70 dollars a month.

The smallest LTE plan is 59/month, the HTC Velocity.

There's also the S2 4G for 64/month.

I love miui UI, but i've noticed that it feels like unfinished at some points, for examples, not all menus have the same interface or follow de same guidelines. So I was wondering (since i've only tested galnet's miuiv4), is it always like that on every rom there is?

Heres an example of what i mean:

This is MiUI v3 (gingerbread):

and this is MIUI v4 (ICS)

really???

588=475GBP

is amazon.de going to charge you any shipping for it to the UK? pretty close to 499 then!

For 25GBPextra , i went for amazon.uk since i have nothing but good feedback from them and in case of a replacement, they send you the phone the next day and except you to send the other one back at their cost.

I wouldnt want to get into communication difficulties with german amazon in case there is a problem just so i can save 15 quid.
[Galaxy S III General] tomstacey:
If you have a card that gives you the bank exchange rate it's a good deal, otherwise you need to add about 3% to that price. As of today, with shipping to the UK it's €592.74 so £479.

In my experience, they ship from the UK in a lot of cases, and arrive next day. You will get a Euro power adaptor though...
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
Your highly unlikely to get that exchange rate unless you are changing over a grand, trust me from someone who travels between Ireland and the UK every few weeks the exchange rate has gone down on the euro side, you will now only get 78p for every Euro unless you are changing thousands then you can go to a broker and get a better rate.

Amazon.de only charge €7 delivery to Ireland so that is €595 in total, £499 on Amazon.co.uk comes to about €630 or hereabouts so saving in excess of €35:)

[Galaxy S III General] Isadora:
Stratford is still old plain Stratford.

I have already ordered a SIM cutter and it's on its way to me. I had to speak to Orange customer service about a problem I was having and thought I would ask them about buying a MicroSIM. I'm on PAYG for now, as most of my time now is out of the UK, and they said a regular SIM would cost about £1 but a MicroSIM on PAYG would be £25. Ridiculous! :eek:

I'll just have to stick to my cutter and hope I get it right. If not, I suppose I can buy 25 new SIMs until I cut one right!

Wow. Vodafone Ireland will replace your sim with a micro sim for free, even if you are a pay as you go customer who has bought a new phone elsewhere which requires a micro sim.

I guess from their perspective, you're asking for a sim that needs to be used on their network, so why wouldn't they do it for free. It ultimately means revenue for them.
