[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
Given Verizon's encrypted bootloader and highly unlikely chance that the developer version will help in unlocking this phone, is it still worth keeping? I haven't even taken the SG3 out of the FedEx box because I don't want to be stuck with an unmoddable phone. I currently have a Thunderbolt running ThunderShed's ROM with IMO's kernel, and do not want to give up that experience just for a shinier phone. What are your thoughts and opinions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jacquestrapp:
I'd say it's worth keeping till the end of the 14-day return period, hopefully the bootloader will either be cracked by then (of course, this date varies depending on when you got your phone), or it will become apparent that it's never going to be cracked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
I just received the phone yesterday, so I have until 7/25 - a good chunk of dev time. I just really hope this doesn't turn out to be a Moto-esque debacle where it's a massive kludge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
One thing that I've noticed with this phone vs others: it works extremely well out of the box. Not only that but we're going to get JB. If modding is that super important to you, either wait for the next Nexus (not guaranteed to be on VZW), or get the current one. You're not going to get a totally moddable phone anymore unless you get the Nexus. Or you can just switch carriers for an unlocked GS3.

For myself: I'm tired of crackflashing. I'm tired of running the latest ROM release and working through bugs. I'm sick of things not working and constantly wiping over and over again. I wanted a phone that just worked well out of the box, and the GS3 is perfect for that. Of course this is entirely subjective, and your needs are obviously more inline with Nexus devices. I'd say if you don't want to put the bootloader status to chance, wait for the next Nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NuclearEMP:
WOW!!! right on the head with that one, I feel the exact same way.

Usually I jump on any mod available but this time i like it just working.

I'm really just waiting on Jelly Bean now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] woodydog:
Depends if you can roll stock. I got at&t gs3. On task and ktoon AOPK and phone is far better than touch wiz. Even with a few minor bugs that will be worked out. On release #2 and its awsome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Got my phone today and I gotta admit I love the phone Rooted with stock. I would say keep it. Remember the bootloader is locked but only for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] juntistik:
Its extremely early to write off our chances of getting past the bootloader. Even with the encrypted bootloader there has been massives amount of progress, and the phone just hit the stores TODAY. Calling it an unmoddable phone isn't accurate, as we already have the ability to run custom kernels and roms, just not an unsigned boot image. Patience is key, but if you dont have any, return it and get a GNEX with its one gig of ram and 5mp camera
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bravomail:
In the news

Samsung will offer open bootloader for Verizon SGS3 phones - on their site.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexmason:
Where is the source or proof of your claim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
I was in the same boat op but after using mine I'm loving it. I came from a droid x running cm7gb and I miss things like hard button music control and other customization but the hardware makes up for it. I rooted using the new method and I love it even more. I'm confident that the devs will make progress. IMO the gap between stock and custom is a lot smaller on this phone. Once jb comes to it it will be insane even if it's a samsung version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmacko:
Yes, you can purchase a totally new phone for $600 if you're up for the expense. It's not a simple software download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
Thanks guys. I think I'm gonna go ahead and fire it up for the time being. Worst case, I can return it in a couple weeks if the stock ROM is too annoying. Best case, the bootloader gets cracked like my Thunderbolt. Most likely, I'll just stop worrying and love the bomb. It sounds like the OEMs have realized we don't want messy, bloated, slothy interfaces gumming up our phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
Well, just wanted to add a final note to this. I'm trying to return it and go back to my Thunderbolt. The radio is terrible compared to that phone, constantly dropping wifi and 3G/4G. The phone keeps locking to a black screen requiring a battery pull to restart it. Just not worth the aggravation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] niv3d:
I plan on keeping the SG3 until the nexus comes out hopefully on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
Maybe you got a dud. I know (myself included) 8 people who already have these phones, plus many many on here and none have your issues. Yeah, your signal is reported differently than htc phones, but what gives there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] touchemupent:
It's definitely worth keeping. I have came from iphones and various android devices such as the htc evo, motorola droid razr and the samsung galaxy nexus for verizon and I love the samsung s3. Out of all these devices even with the extended battery on them this battery/phone out performs the other phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Guess there's lots of duds out there then...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
Exactly, this phone is awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loveubuntu:
Hmmm, a couple of people mentioned that they are tired of modding and crackflashing? Why are you still here on xda? I buy android so I can feed my addiction of owning new phones without actually changing devices. I look forward to new mods and roms.

Oh ya, with all the new development, almost everything can be done with the so called locked bootloader. I'm running the new cm10 /jelly Bean as my daily driver. #screwyouverizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
agreed! My device runs flawless! Also the locked bootloader is not nearly as big of issue since not all of the boot processes are signed...this left a hole(or workaround) to get root/recover/custom kernels. HTC and MOTO completely lock down there devices, which makes things alot more difficult. All in all Im very happy with the GS3 in stock form...what development we do have(imo is quite a bit for no longer than the device has been out) is a added bonus!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hellcatrydr:
Best phone I've ever had by a mile! I love this thing even in it's stock form. No root, no rom. It's a rocket with great battery life.

I will never never get rid of this phone! (until the next really cool phone comes out... of course.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
Ok, so I'm not quite as done as I thought. :D

Verizon store swapped me to a new S3, and this one is running MUCH better. Data speeds are much faster, like even faster than my Thunderbolt. So far wifi is flawless (only been on for a few hours). No locks yet, although it's admittedly early. Maybe my launch one (and several others') was just crap.

[HTC One V] donhashem.dh:
Titanium kernel.I did a nandroid backup after rooting.before flashing any roms
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Then you will need the ruu of your phone (as I see yours will be from Lebanon the asia 2.09.707.1) from wich you can extract the boot_signed.img because you will need the stock kernel. (this step can be left if you want to stay at the custom kernel, but then OTA will not be install if it will be)

Go to cwm either from hboot or

adb reboot recovery

flash the nandroid backup, and you're ready to go.

If you want to return the stock, flash the standard recovery of the phone (and then the stock kernel is necessary too)

I m on Mooded 90.4 using base .431 firmware!

I think of moving from ICS to Stock GB .62 firmware but when i flash the .62 firmware using flashtool, i get an error saying that flashing has been canceled and when i select the firmware in the flash mode section,nothing shows up on the right ! (for eg. Exclude kernel,baseband like that all the options are unavailable)

But when i flash any other ICS ftf file it flashes properly!

Is the prob is with flashtool?

[General Questions and Answers] gusduenas:
this is your answer for the bootlogo or boot_logo

updating boot_logo for freelander or any other mtk6575 tablet with 3g dual sim, blue tooth, etc.

1: make your image 600 x 1024 on bmp

2. name the file boot_logo.bmp

3.Then in windows property, change the image name for boot_logo.bin

4. once it is that way, just open properties again on windows and take out the .bin

5. put it on the external sd card.

6. Go and reboot on recovery and click the update logo from internal or external storage.

7. reboot and Voila!!! you would have done it!!!

steps to follow:

2. Switchoff dell streak 7,

3. Connect dell usb host cable (pdmi to usb otg adapter) to male connector of usb Y cable, and then connect usb device to female connector of usb Y cable.

4. Switch on dell streak 7.

5. After, Dell streak lock screen, connect another male connector of usb Y cable to power source (Dell Ac adapter).

6. go to usb otg helper and click on mount, it can may start adobe reader, don't worry.

7. go to es file explorer, and your drive is usb_drive_1.

[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
If the streak 7 is on the dell dock which has a micro USB input on the back... is it safe to assume that the docks power could sufficiently charge the streak and supply enough juice to a otg micro USB y cable to two female? I want to have a keyboard with a built in mouse pad connected, and have a 32gig flash connection available simultaneously

Edit: forgot to point out, dock is hard wired in my car, and thought it obvious that the dock would bypass the need for the 30pin. Just trying to learn if anyone has been successful at getting the streak to host through the oem dock.
[Dell Streak 7] zenisnotchosen:
No, the dock does not work for OTG purposes. The dock is wired the same as the USB data cable, which is different from an OTG adapter. That's why you can't use the USB data cable with just a USB gender changer for OTG purposes. The only way to use USB devices with the Streak 7 is with an OTG adapter and a USB Y cable with two male USB and one female USB ends and plugging one male end into the OTG adapter and one male end into a USB AC adapter to supply power for the USB device as the Streak 7 does not supply power over USB. You also need to power off the Streak 7 and then plug in the OTG adapter and power it back up then plug in the USB Y Cable, USB AC adapter, and USB device. There are two useful apps on Google Play for setting up and using USB devices with your Streak, or any Android device. One is USB Host Controller to monitor when the device is plugged in and working, and the other is USB Mass Storage Watcher which allows you to set an option for auto-mounting USB flash drives when plugged in.
