I just sent them this

Hello,
kernel source for 1.29 and 2.05 for HTC One X is still not available.
These delays are hindering community efforts to fix your inept software and are in breach of GPL. Please provide me the link to the source to to those 2 kernels and make sure that you release the source at the same time as the binary form.
I am ready to escalate this via gpl-violations.org unless your response satisfies me.

Regards
Jan Schermer

If anybody wants to chime in, you're welcome.
[HTC One X] sorr932:
Samsung is just better at this.. look at the SIII it was released after the OneX but it has many many more custom truly cocked roms!
[HTC One X] AdamLange:
And i'm sick of such useless posts. They will release it when they will release it. Get a life.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Why would they publish the source for a test RUU? 1.29 OK but not 2.05 yet
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you forgot one main thing

2.05 is unreleased and leaked ;)
[HTC One X] JDR0iD:
And now no more leaked test releases lol.

Well done!!! Demand source codes for versions that aren't even released yet.

Lmao what is going on here

Sent from eXoDiZeD rom
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
They have to provide source code for every binary to those who got the binary. So I assume those 2.05 testers have the source for their kernels, don't they? if they did, it would leak, and we would profit from it (it's our right because so does HTC!).

Also, what devs here do is illegal - I could demand the source code from them but they don't have it - is it okay to force them into illegality just because HTC are being ignorant?

And those posts are not meaningless, they are violating GPL and withholding source code for no real reason. All source-built kernels are still based on 1.28, but they fixed a lot of stuff on 1.29, and for me (a linux professional) those hacks show in lots of places.

What are you doing here if you really want HTC-built Sense then? Do you want to run slapped-together binary ROMs because there is no source for the latest update? This is called Android Development for a reason.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you can not demand anything from an internal leaked file! in fact your possession of the leaked rom might be illegal lol
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
That might be true. But AFAIK the 2.05 RUU was provided to some public testers as well.

I just opted to demand 2.05 as well in case it takes them a month to respond and it will be released by then, it did no harm in any case.

Also, we wouldn't have to have this debate if the development was actually transparent (that means - HTC working with community, not just pushing uncompilable sources for their old kernels). But I guess most managers can't grasp that concept without the proper buzzwords.

Sorry, I'm pissed at many more things than just HTC right now, but I directed my anger here :-)
[HTC One X] AdamLange:
You can demand open source codes not closed source ;) and to get open source android, simply get AOSP sources. HTC will publish their sources when they want and after they finish.

EOT.
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
You know that kernel is GPL and what that means, right? Or are you just trolling? HTC is obliged to provide source code - it's not a goodwill gesture, and they consistently fail to do that.

Or are you talking just about 2.05? In that case, the first tester outside HTC should get the source code and would be free to release it to us - closed beta or not.
[HTC One X] AdamLange:
Some parts of kernel may be closed (for example modules). They can post kernel without them. Its like AOSP android, you can download it, and compile and use, but you will not get Android Apps (gmail,youtube etc) included. cause they are CLOSED.
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
Yes, but they don't even post the sources without blobs...

[HTC One X] vaskomobile:
Frankly ,they can have x3 more custom rom`s but we have one who is better then all SIII ROM`s together , we are so lucky and really need to be proud with our original developers like Venom Team , so S3 performance without ROM like our ViperX is in vain.

Don`t worry be happy! :victory:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActionBastardDV:
Hi guys,

Sorry guys for what might appear to be a noob question, but is there any major differences between the I9300 and I9300T model? and more importantly, will I9300 ROMs work on a I9300T model S3? or is the difference so minor that it won't really matter?

I have only just noticed that my model had the T. If someone could clear that up or shed some light on the matter, it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barracuda77777:
I flashed it with the I9300 Italian latest rom with no issues at all. So I think they are the same, I think the network locked ones come with T, I got mine unlocked at the store where I bought it. It was Vodafone stock.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esist:
I'm guessing there must be some hardware difference. A different model number usually (always I think) indicates some hardware difference. Just adding a letter though, is usually the smallest difference of all.

The i9300 is capable of being locked, or at least it would seem to be considering it has menu functions for it. Could be wrong on this though, maybe it can't.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
The T model is tuned to favour the 850mhz band. There is a difference in hardware but very minor. Other than that they are the same.

Just Google i9100 i9100t (S2 model) and you will find alot of info. Something about different sar value.

Anyway, as for flashing you'll have no problems. Firmwares are interchangeable. Same with the S2 but on the S2, it was better to flash a T modem afterwards for optimum reception.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
I'm really curious about this coming from a gti9100T to a gti9300T I have found zero difference in using Tmodems vs any other
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActionBastardDV:
Oh ok. The only reason I ask is because I was on Sammobile and noticed this warning which stated "Do not flash I9300T roms with your GT-I9300 device!" so was wondering if firmwares were truely interchangeable.

I've been on Slim ICS on my I9000 for a while and was looking forward to flashing it on my S3, but was unsure if it would be compatible. I've tried asking in the thread but haven't got a response and thought that mayb someone else in the community could just confirm this for me.

but also from the little reading I've done, it appears that I can flash any I9300 custom ROM on my T model S3 and will just need to flash a T modem later. If someone could just confirm this, it would make my decision to flash a custom ROM a lot easier

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewok666:
The T model of the S2 had a chip in line where the non-T model had just straight through wires. I was speculated that this was some sort of band filter that attenuated the non-850Mhz bands to favour the 850MHz range.

From experience I can say that, on Telstra, the S2 T model occasionally had crap reception where a non-T model right nex to it was fine. I believe this was in areas where the Telstra 850MHz network was unavailable and it was using on of their 2100MHz towers. Eventually, afer a lot of troubleshooting and flashing different ROMs and modems, I sold the T and got the non-T model.

I would NOT under ANY circumstances get another T model unless one of these useless clowns (Samsung, Telstra, Vodafone and the likes) actually tells me in writing what the difference is.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charsleysa:
I did a hardware comparison with my friends GS3.

He has the I9300 and I have the I9300T.

Once both phones were flashed to the same ROM (Vodafone New Zealand) using ODIN, the only difference I could find (including the hardware that were listed) was the bootloader.

I just used first 3 apps I could find when I searched "hardware info" in the Google Play Store.

They all gave me the same results saying that the only difference was the bootloader.

Also we are both on the same network (2Degrees) which uses 900Mhz.

I have yet to have a close look at attenuation to see if there is any real difference though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActionBastardDV:
oh ok, that's quite interesting. I'm not very familiar with bootloaders (it was never an issue on the I9000 for me and so don't have much experience with it), but when you say the difference was the bootloader, what do you mean exactly?

you mentioned that you both FLASHED to the same ROM (Vodafone NZ), was that through ODIN or through CWM? As I've mentioned in the OP, my main concern is whether or not I am able to flash a I9300 ROM on my I9300T S3.

I'm no rush atm, as I'm waiting for a stock Aus VAU firmware to be released as a precautionary measure before I start getting into the custom ROMS, but just wanted to know so I can start researching which ROMs to flash once I'm ready

If you could confirm whether your I9300T model was able to flash a regular I9300 custom ROM, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you've got any recommendations as to which ROMs are good, that would be helpful too.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActionBastardDV:
yeah I ordered mine online and didn't realise it was going to be a T model S3. If I had known, It would have most likely affected my decision to purchase the phone. From my experience on the I9000, it's always so much easier to have the full international version (more compatible ROMs, more options, more support etc) and having any variants (not sure how much of a variant the T model is) is always abit more troublesome

I'm just hoping that the I9300T is compatible with the vast majority of custom ROMs out there for the I9300, otherwise I'll be hating life for the next 2 years
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charsleysa:
you mentioned that you both FLASHED to the same ROM (Vodafone NZ), was that through ODIN or through CWM?

If you read on, just after I say that, I say "using ODIN", so yes I did it through ODIN.

If you could confirm whether your I9300T model was able to flash a regular I9300 custom ROM

Yes, I9300 ROM's can be flashed on to the I9300T. They use the same hardware AFAIK.

The only thing you need to worry about is flashing the right modem, but if your network uses the standard 900Mhz band, then you'll be right. :cool:

When I got mine they didn't tell me it was the T model, but after flashing a stock ROM instead of the branded ROM, it was fine and I didn't notice any problems.

All you need to do is flash a I9300 stock ROM then flash CF-root using ODIN to root the phone, then you can use CWM to put any ROM you want on the phone.

EDIT:

A bootloader is basically the stuff that interfaces with your hardware right at the start.

You should never touch this because if you screw up your bootloader then you can kiss your phone goodbye.

Flashing custom ROM's is safe because they never touch the bootloader, thats an entirely different procedure using ODIN.

The only reason I want to touch the bootloader is because I want to know the difference between the I9300 bootloader and the I9300T bootloader.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActionBastardDV:
Sorry, I must have missed the fact that you mentioned you used ODIN, but thanks for confirming again.

I've done some reading through XDA already and I've gathered that some people have been flashing regular I9300 ROMs on a T model S3, but that's only through looking at their sig, which may or may not always be up-to-date, so again, thanks for confirming that too

It also appears some people using the T model have been using the regular modem, and with better results too. I'll probably try experimenting between the 2 variations of the modem and finding the best fit for myself

I think Chainfire's CF-Root is compatible for both I9300 and I9300T models, so I should be ok to root and just get straight into the custom ROMs without flashing a stock I9300 first

and thanks for that brief bootloader explanation. seems like if I get CF-Root running, I should be good to go with the custom ROMs so won't look into it too much, but it's good to have a better understanding of it.

Many thanks for all your help so far
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Ok. Let me explain what I've noticed and hopefully clear things up.

I had the S1 non T and flashed the guts out of it.

Then got a T model S2. Running Optus sim. Got poor reception when I flashed an international rom + modem. Turned out all I had to do was flash a T modem anytime I flashed any custom or i9100 rom. But, as mentioned I could flash anything I wanted.

Now, I have a T model S3 with the same setup, and thought it would be like the S2. Turns out that it doesn't require a T modem for good reception. I use the lf5 modem and its just as good if not better than the T modems I've tried.

So, for the S3 flash any rom you want. If it does suffer poor reception there are plenty of T modems available in xda in cwm and Odin format. But don't think you'll need to.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActionBastardDV:
Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't upgrade to the S2 so was not familiar (or even aware) of there being a T variant. As such, was not sure how much of an impact that would have when flashing roms. I just knew that a lot of people had issues when flashing the I9000 roms on a variant of the S1.

But now that I know that any S3 custom rom should run fine on my T model S3, I'll start flashing once a stock AUS VAU firmware has been released (in case anything happens). I'm also using this time to see if there are any hardware faults with my device, rather than running a custom rom and finding an issue, and not be sure if it was there with the stock firmware or not.

And again, many thanks for clearing that up. I can now start searching through XDA for roms (that appear stable) and then flash once that stock firmware is released
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
No problem.

Earlier I saw a thread where a Vodafone Aus firmware had been added. It was in cwm format so all that needs to be done is flash and unroot + clear counter. Phone would then be stock.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshadow6400:
I'm very new to these forums, I've read a lot and flashed a custom rom once; on my old LG gt540. after upgrading to the Galaxy S3 through Vodafone Australia I noticed the 'T' at the end and immediately went searching for answers. All I managed to fine was that it was optimized for 850mz. I have no idea what that means, but I still want to root and flash custom roms. I've read up on the CF-root method and using Triangle Away to reset the flash count, but the only issue I thought of was restoring the original firmware if something went wrong and I needed my warranty. I found a link for the firmware in case anyone needed it. I cant post it though as this is my first post. If needed, anyone may email me at this address:

I will update post with link as soon as I can

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActionBastardDV:
yeah I've just been waiting for the Voda firmware release. Once that's out, I'll get to CF-Root and start flashing custom ROMS. I think theres a guide on how to make a Nandroid backup, but I'd prefer to have an Odin method to get back to stock

I just need it as a precautionary measure, incase I ever want to go back to stock vodafone firmware (I have a I9300T from Voda). Once I have that and know I can get back to stock for warranty purposes, I'll get straight into some of the custom roms out there

so to answer your question, there is NOTHING special or good about the Vodafone rom

SGS3 GT-i900t Questions

So, if I get a Galaxy S3 T-model (i900t), will I be able to root it and install the cyanogenmod custom ROM fine?

I want to also know if Optus would on the T-model (unlocked), and if there are any issues associated with doing this.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charsleysa:
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S3 will work on Optus with Cyanogen Mod if Optus uses GSM not CDMA.

Although you may have to play around with modem versions to get one that will work with Optus properly.

Awesome, and are you still getting solid 850MHz coverage? i do travel a lot to the american continent where 850 MHz is king, 900 and 2100 are next to nonexistant, opposed to Aus where 2100 and / or 900 rule, and 850 is like a big novelty..... yeah i know..... but it is what it is

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

on the specific case for optus, maybe caution is deemed useful. Have you noticed how in the past few months the overall quality and coverage footprint have made a turn for the worst? specially in the Melbourne suburbs. There is an explanation for that, hence my advice to play it super cool on the modems department.
