OK I'm going to set the record straight on what IMM76Q does or does not address:

1. There IS NO NEW RADIO FIRMWARE IN THIS UPDATE. This update uses the exact same radios as IMM76K. Period.

2. The meat of this update is a gimped device search, as per the patent issue with Apple.

3. There is a kernel patch that does something, but nobody is sure what. It's not a build date update as has been speculated. The build date is identical to the one on IMM76K. Whatever it is, it's a very small patch, but it's likely a code change for something no matter how miniscule. We'll never really know unless Verizon allows Google to release this OTA to the general public. At that point, VZW will update their support PDF with a changelog. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say it has something to do with 3/4G switching and holding connections since that could presumably be fixed in kernel code without requiring new radio firmware. That's purely a guess on my part though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I realize there is a boot.img patch in there, but 1k is not big enough to contain any code fix of any sort. That and its impossible for them to keep the same kernel build, date, and same hostname while modifying the kernel. So it is probably an auto-generated file by whatever method they use to create patches. Now, they could have edited the initramfs and not had it record a new build date, etc. However, the patch would still be larger than 1kb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Yeah you're probably right. Not all OTAs include boot.img patches though, which is why it seems precarious that they would include one in this update if nothing was changed, not even the build date. haha Who knows. I guess we'll find out if VZW lets this go out to the general public and we get a change log.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Yeah this was a weird one for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Is the sauce out? If not, has anyone compared the hashes of the IMM76K and IMM76Q boot images? If there is a difference, can someone not just compare the two images to see?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
If someone gets me both kernels (nandroid images are fine), I can diff them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokan_one:
It is now August fifth and I have yet to receive this ota and I am still sitting on baseband .09. I am not rooted but my bootloader is unlocked because I used to be on a jelly bean rom. I am currently running stock 4.0.4 from the factory image site on Google. Any suggestions on how to upgrade my baseband and get the update ota?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
OTA is a search nerf and not much else.

Baseband is current if you are on IMM76K.

09 refers to

hardware revision.

My kindle fire is stuck at the default boot loader. Any help???

no custom boot-loader

no recovery

not sure if root installed properly because it froze while installing.

Thatks

@Josepho1997 I just did that and it still wasn't recognized bit since it wasnt done rooting when it froze I figured that I would try finishing it and it suddenly recognized it and finished root. Thanks I would never have tried that if you didn't suggest going into KFU. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogueleadr:
Newbie question. Sorry in advance.

I've tested my device on ICS and JB and still find that it is underperforming. What is the cause and what can I do to increase the performance?

I assume that flashing a kernel will help but I'm really really not sure if it would work with the ROM I'm using. Also how would I go back to the previous kernel?

Many thanks for any tips.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matinm90:
Well there are few things you should ask yourself, Are you using a stock kernel? first step is to flash your device back to stock then re run the test. if its still underperforming, then it could be a defective device or it could be those numbers are off, now ask yourself is the device laggy or do you feel like it isnt working well. note that for some reason live wallpapers don't like ice cream sandwich particularly on the nexus device.

if the answer is yes even with a barebone stock rom then it could be the phone. to answer your second question, its best to backup your rom prior to flashing a new kernel so that you an restore it if needed later. also id recommend the franco kernel, its very lean but it really helps boost performance. hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogueleadr:
Thank you so much for your reply! Yes the performance on stock is pretty much the same (benchmark-wise). The phibe felt a but laggy in ICS but with JB it is very smooth.

I'll try the Franco kernel to see if it helps :)

Thanks again for your advice.

AT&T Galaxy SIII Bricked While Trying to Flash Back to Stock... Desperate For Help

Had my AT&T Galaxy S III rooted, stock ROM. Was having some issues after rooting so I decided to go back to bone stock, completely unroot so I flashed the I747UCALEM build from these forums on Odin 3.07. Needless to say the phone was held up mid flash, and I got a "FAIL" in Odin. When I tried to reboot the phone, I got a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" When I reboot the phone this comes up and it's almost like a permanent download mode. I tried to reflash in Odin to unbrick the phone and it fails every single time.

Am I completely screwed? If I send it back to Samsung like this they'll see the that I rooted (didnt trip the flash counter) and void my warranty. Not sure what to do here. Thanks for any advice guys.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bec48:
Sounds like you got a bad file re-download the AT&T software again from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737848 make sure you have Kies disabled i do think if its running in the background odin won't flash right don't hold me to it.and as long as you can get in download mode you should be able to fix it.also check here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1727443
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unleashed12:
Hmm this actually happened to me first time I tried to root (stupid computer fell asleep mid flash) however I was just able to reenter download mode and flash again, curious though , what did the screen say and where In the flash process did the Odin fail, for Me luckily it was 2/3 of the way through flashing system so I didn't have much to worry about. Though I imagine if it was writing something important like the sbl or somethimg and it failed you might be in trouble . All in all I would say try flashing again a few times maybe the file you downloaded is bad.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] statusnone:
Downloading the UCALEM build from that link now on my laptop (my PC is notorious for connection issues with this phone, I should of known) and I'll pray for the best. Thank you very much for the help, I'll post back once I'm on my way.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mxl180:
Just would like your thoughts and opinions... I'm on the fence between EVO 4G LTE or Galaxy S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Evo lte has better camera, sgs iii has 2gb ram.

Pretty much the only difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bmoreboy02:
I didnt find the camera on the evo better. The phone its self just dosent feel as smooth. The battery was horrible and its just ugly lol. The s3 is just a more complete phone imo. And im not alone. People on craigslist are trading there evo lte + $100 for an S3. This phone to me is the most complete phone ever. Idk where you go from here. Im eligible for 2 new ugrades in april. It will take alot for me to actually use them lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr Ian B:
Return it and you will never look back, I did.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jgalan14:
The only reason I switch was because of the network I went with tmobile and got the galaxy s3, the evo felt like the right device ,camera is better on the evo IMO, and specs says it as well,the only thing I hated the much in the eco is the multitasking is useless and will closed apps really soon, if you like accessories and to root I would go with the the gs3,so far this phone has a great community ,even got cm10 already running and accessories will keep coming and coming since is one device in all networks, the evo had better battery life in my testing but it could be cause it closed a lot app in the background

This is why I like tmobile
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeriel05:
The best thing you could do is go to sprint and check them out out for yourself, you aren't going to get the answer you are looking for here, different folks like different things go check them out and see what you like.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
I have both devices. I see no reason at all using evo lte over sgs3.

I can't really think of a single good thing about evo lte which is better than sgs3. Maybe that it's slightly thinner...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] racecaraz:
I had the HTC EVO LTE for a week and returned it for the S3, I have not had a single regret since. My biggest complaint on the HTC was multitasking, I would stream music and open one app, this would usually go OK, on the second app the music would stop. ERRR.

It's incorrect to say it's due to the S3 2gb or ram either my previous phone, the hugely inferior VM Optimus could handle this, sure it started to lag but at least the music didn't just stop.

This was my main issue, but in almost all other aspects the s3 has been better in my opinion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] il buono:
I just sold my Evo LTE today on eBay. It was a good device but the S3 is superior overall. The Evo is also easily prone to bending due to its design but it never happened to mine since I always took care of it. Both devices have great cameras. The screen on both is excellent but it's really just personal preference. HTC also takes a while releasing its source which makes it harder for developers to work their magic. Samsung is developer friendly :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gregen11:
I would say go try them both out and see which one you like more. You're posting this in a galaxy s3 forum, of course the majority will say gs3. If you go post it in the one x forum, then you'll probably get the majority saying one x.

It depends on what you need out of the phone and which feels nicer. The one x has a brighter screen and a little nicer camera. The gs3 has a nicer battery(in my experience, though it varies by phone) and it is removable, along with an SD card slot and 2 gb of ram. One has touchwiz and one has sense 4.

Good luck on your choice, they're both amazing phones, I'm sure you'll be happy with either of them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] OgremustCrush:
Multitasking on the evo is painful, worse than my old evo 4g. Gs3 is way smoother and has a better community.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] codexv:
I made the switch. The build quality is better on the Evo and I would argue screen is more natural but not as vibrant. Everything else is vastly superior on S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mxl180:
thanks guys. I actually posed the question on both EVO and S3 forum. Looks like i'm leaning towards s3!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Imurdaddytoo:
Came from an og evo and an evo 3d to the s3 I just wanted to try something else, however the evo lte screen looks unbelievable
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Success100:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Next1776:
Tried the EVO LTE for 3 days and went back to the ET4g, then to the GS3. Screen size was the "seller" for me. Definite difference. The HTC seemed out of proportion too long and narrow. Maybe I'm just picky... JMO.

I'd definitely actually handle a couple of live phones to see which you like better, good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Iphony89:
+1 evo was definitely too narrow, main reason why I switched to the s3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Smac7:
camera app is better yes, but the camera on the s3 is slightly better. I've done my own comparison with my brothers phone and i saw a side by side comparision online. Siii looked a bit better. Video was much better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] il buono:
+1 I use the macro mode a lot and it was far better on the S3. Photos from the S3 cam always come out clear and with great detail.

S3 all the way!!!! HTC support as in software updates and what not suck. I agree on the build on the lte evo is better (or it seems) but i love my S3. Had the lte evo for 3 days returned it and never looked back!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PDXunicorn:
The only thing I liked about the evo late was the physical camera button
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
i have both and the gs3 camera is on par with the evo camera in day light but in a dark area with no flash evo wins with flash a tie it's not that much better. Gs3 feel better and smaller in your hands than evo. Sense 4 is nice on evo but touchwiz has alot of nice features. Gaming is the same. Multitasking is horrible on evo and the three dot setting button that eat screen realastate on evo sucks but they have a hack to get rid of that. Evo is more elegant gs3 kinda cheap looking. Over all gs3 better just for the fact you can remove the battery when phone freeze.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] El Nivek:
Yeah, this was a strangely big factor in my decision
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] exitboon:
Evo lte has better battery life bro. Hands down on that factor. I still went with the s3 though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vulcZ:
I was on the fence for a very long time. I got the LTEVO when it came out, used it for about 2 weeks, loved it, but returned it in anticipation of the S3 release. The key was the LTEVO delay. It allowed for my return window to overlap the release of the S3, so I felt it'd be foolish not to wait and try both phones before picking which one I decided to go with. Been using an S3 for 2 days now and honestly I love the phone. Zero regrets. I played and compared both phones EXTENSIVELY!

The only thing I miss about the LTEVO is the screen (yes it's nicer than the S3's), and the physical camera button. Both cameras are very very good, and if in fact the LTEVO has a better camera then it's by a very slim margin.

The performance difference between both phones is pretty big IMO. I don't know if it's the extra RAM, or TouchWiz overlay -vs- Sense overlay, but the S3 is a smoother device more consistently.

As far as looks, both phones are very very sexy IMO. The pictures and videos of the S3 don't do it justice. You have to hold and feel this phone to truly appreciate its beauty. The pebble blue one is much nicer than the white, IMO, so go with that :) Also, contrary to popular belief, the S3 doesn't really feel that cheap. I mean yeah it feels like plastic, but it doesn't make weird noises and it feels solid in general. Weight is good and it feels nice in your hand.

It's only been 2 days but so far it feels like the LTEVO had better battery life, but again, we'll see in a few more days after I test it some more. Also, the GS3 gets hotter, but that's not a huge deal.

Honestly either of these phones would be an excellent choice :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bootny:
S3 is nice... Was not that impressed w it when I got it for my mom yesterday... I'm gonna get the white EVO LTE in a couple weeks... But no matter what people are gonna bash every phone that comes out... They both are great devices

And when iPhone 5 comes out its gonna start another thread...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sephirothvfc:
The biggest thing that I did love about my evo was the battery life. I did not root my evo until 3 weeks of running stock. I was able to get 1day+ of battery plus 7+ hours of screen on time almost consistantly. On my s3 I have yet to go over 3 hr 30min mark of screen on with 14 hr on battery.

I used both phones with same apps installed and same stuff syncing in the background. Only difference I watched netflix a lot of my evo and I don't on my s3 because battery drains with just 2 hrs of screen on. Evo I can go 6 hrs straight
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbond007:
I had the LTE for about 3 weeks and I traded it in for the S3 because the evo got laggy at times. Even though sense is good in some regards, it's just feels bloated

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ooxteme:
Ya same here sense 4.0 is nice but way to bloated for me. i think it really holds a phone back from its full potential
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Success100:
returned evoLTE for the s3.

completely happy. The only thing I miss about the evo was the camera and build quality.

other than that, to me the s3 blows that thing out of the water. Not to say the evo was a bad phone because it certaintly wasnt, however, its no s3!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fgcchevy:
I miss the built in print feature on the evo lte, the s3 has one, but you must use a samsung printer only. I know there are printer apps in the market, but i prefer the option built in. Are there any roms with this feature built in? tia
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jnadke:
To be fair, the Evo LTE's power button is connected directly to the CPU probably via PIC controller.

When you hold it for 10 seconds, it sends a master reset to the CPU. Effectively the same as a battery pull.

This is effective enough that it was causing problems. People were getting random reboots and figured out the power button was sticking.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spydc:
I'm a bit confused. Apparently, the battery life on the S3 seems to be worse than the EVO LTE when it should be similar. They both have the same SoC, and I thought I read somewhere that the AMOLED screen is suppose to be more energy efficient. However, I immdiately noticed a drop off in battery life when I switched. I used to have the EVO LTE for about 2 weeks and thought the battery life was great. I've had the S3 since then and I am still happy I made the switch, I'm just disappointed the battery life is worse. For example, I would have over 20hours on a single charge with over 7 hours of on screen time on the EVO LTE. However, for the S3, I barely make 4 hours of on screen time. Is it possible the 2100MAH battery is overated?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Success100:
maybe its just yours, or the apps your running. I had the evoLTE and honestly was not impressed especially with it having a huge battery. I find the battery life on the s3 much better than the evo I had.

the s3 is the best phone ive had to date with battery life (aside from blackberries). My s3 will last me 14-20+ hours per charge with light to medium usage.(stock rom). Custom roms dont give me as good of battery life, but still more than acceptable. You just have to turn off all the motion features and smartstay. (to me all gimmicks anyways).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spydc:
Well, I went through two S3's and they were the same in terms of battery life. You should check other posts where people who had both phones admit the EVO LTE had better battery life. I'm just speaking from experience and again I own the S3 now. I will try turning off smart stay to see if it helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alaman68:
bad battery life???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spydc:
Holy crap.. what rom and settings are you using to achieve that? That's nuts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Success100:
yeah you have to realize that smart stay keeps the camera in a low power state to check your eyes.

All of the motion features are good, but they are constantly polling the accelerometer for changes. if you turn all that stuff off then it will improve your battery.

I saw similar speeds with tmobile when I tried them for a week. Only problem in as soon as I got 10 feet into ANY building I had no signal. Those high speeds were also sporadic. Sprint's new LTE network will own tmobile.

Now back on topic.. I switched for the removable battery, the annoying red saturation of the EVO , higher resale value, 2 gb RAM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ddroidlover:
I switched because I had become accustomed to Touchwiz when I had my Epic Touch and Sense seemed "heavier" or not as fluid, to me. The fact that the GS3 has more RAM and is the same across all carriers surely aided in the decision.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jgalan14:
Yeah inside penetration ain't good, I believe is on 1700-2100mhz, but I don't spent time in buildings besides the one I work and speeds are fine, sprints network upgrade looks really good on paper and might be better then tmobile but until is deploy in las Vegas ain't worth nothing for me so I have to drop off my line, I still got 4 lines on Sprint (family) and if deploy lte in las Vegas I might switch but I doubt it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
These circlejerk threads are the worst. I have both and even though I never considered the EVO because of the lack of removable battery (Sprint gave it to me for free) After I used it for a month I had a hard time going to the SG3. Pretty much CM10 working was what convinced me. Bottom line they are both really nice phones and either one of them will serve you well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kraftyland:
I switched from evo 4g lte and could not be happier. Don't get stuck up on software (sense vs touchwiz vs AOSP etc.) Development will only grow on the S3. All you need to know is true multitasking and 2gb ram. The S3 is fast.... get it
