[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I honestly wouldn't hold your breath for jelly bean coming to verizon sgs3 soon. Verizon is absolutely terrible at releasing updates. The Galaxy Nexus doesn't even have JB yet!! I would just root now and go for it. You'll be able to flash a custom JB rom wayyyy before verizon ever gets the official JB out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rpz3.14:
The Odin method came first, right away when the phone was released. The without odin method is probably preferable, because you don't have to worry about putting custom software on your phone (the odin method uses a rooted image - the other uses an exploit in the software, I believe). In either case, you should be able to Odin back to stock unrooted if you ever needed to use your warranty. If you decide to root, you should probably stop any future updates from Verizon, as that can cause weird things to happen.

Hope this reply is helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
if you have a mac or linux follow section 1 of my guide...If your using windows then follow section 2. Really simple!!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manchild83:
you should root now, do it before VZW changes the phone or modifies the bootloader in such a way that you cant unlock it with the current method.

This is a good guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

Pick the method you are most comfortable with. Personally I don't like using tools that are just one click because I like to know what I am doing to the phone step by step but some people love the simplicity of one click or tool based rooting.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
No, only those marked as cdma or p1c.

This forum has P1000 or p1 and P1010 as well, those won't work for you. It will brick your device.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salahmed:
Yes, roms here is working for your tab, BUT only if they mention it is for cdma tab like yours which is also known as ''p1c''

[Motorola Droid 4] gravypod:
Hey, I wanted to know if there was a tutorial for updating my droid 4. I couldn't find one on the internet. The problem is that when I go to do a "Software update" [Update to the new ICS] it fails. My phone restarts and goes to the update-dios-thing but 1/2 way into it the logo on my screen changes, my phone starts, and when I unlock my phone it says "Software update failed". Does anyone have a fix? I'd love to hear back! Thanks for reading this!
[Motorola Droid 4] olegfusion:
I would suggest to flash 4.0.4 fastboot files. it's the cleanest way. And wipe all is a recommendation.
[Motorola Droid 4] golftdi140:
My Droid 4 does this also. I got the phone the day it released and rooted it 2 days later. Everything has been fine since then except for getting an update for 6.13.219.en.US a couple of months ago. It constantly fails so I've been ignoring it. But now ICS is out I need to get this figured out. Instructions on flashing the fastboot files? I'm decent with computers but n00b on this kind of stuff.
[Motorola Droid 4] syntheticexctasy:
I have an update pending resolution of this issue as well. 6.16.217? Just came through a few days ago. Tried temp unroot with voodoo rootkeeper, then unfreeze all apps, then update. This failed. Haven't had much time to try much else.
[Motorola Droid 4] redfoot:
Thoughts

I have had the same issues after rooting and running safestrap. One thing to check is to re-enable root if you simply disabled it through ota rootkeeper or something similar. Then download a root file explorer such as root browser lite. Go to cache/recovery/log or last log. Open as a text file and scroll to the bottom. The offending app or issue will be listed. Either unfreeze it, or try to find a replacement. Good luck!
[Motorola Droid 4] YahyaIsrael:
I can't get root back ever since I updated to ICS. Cnat figure how to root it again. Root fails every time. Does anybody know what I need to do in order to root properly.

Thanks,

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesey10:
As a Vibrant owner, I'm of course using t-mobile. My 2 year contract is up, and I want to pay the lowest amount. I barely use my call minutes, and want unlimited texts and data. What plan should I go with?

The Tmobile site makes this confusing, because I see a $30per month plan with unlimited texts and date, and 100 minutes, but I can't switch to it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
That's because its prepaid.

For now I'm on T-Mobile prepaid $30, 1500 voice/text combo and 30mb data.

Not much data but I always use WiFi.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
$49.99.

Classic plan?

500 Minutes, Unlimited (2GB 4G) data & Unlimited texts? :|
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
The online $30 plan is a special online only and I believe requires a new prepaid phone or acct/number.

I currently use unl talk text and data with first 100mb at 3/4g. I have gone over the 100mb a few times and don't really notice any decrease in speed. There is a $45 unl talk text and data from Walmart straight talk. They use tmo and at&t. You just have to get a sim that works on tmo from them. This will also require unlocking and a new number.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kxlling:
I don't know the prices, but you could try simple mobile if they're in your area. It's the gsm equivalent of metro/cricket. I believe they run off t mobile towers too. You might have to unlock it though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dougfresh:
100 minutes unlimited text and 5 GB 4g plan does exist. It's only available at Walmart! Google it. I have Simple Mobile $40 unlimited everything plan for about a year and it's decent, but network speeds are about 120 kbps...SM also has a $50 unlimited full 4g speed plan
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
Yeah I was at Walmart today and saw that,

5gb data+100mins+unl text÷$30= 1 sweet deal!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dougfresh:
Yeah, I'm doing the switch next month to this but be forewarned, if you use Wi-Fi calling, it still counts against your allotted 100 minutes. I did some research on this a couple days ago and you could add another 1500 minutes (I think) for $10 extra. You can't beat that deal :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesey10:
OP here. I made my switch today, and something funny happened.

I went to the TMobile store, told them my 2-year contract was up, and I want to be on a monthly plan. The store representative asked, "why?" and I told him I'd rather pay $50 per month than $90. He was confused and said I had to call customer service to switch. Whatever.

I got back home, called customer service, and they transferred me to a call center which based on the accent and forced "Americanisms" is probably in India. Just to see if I could get away with it, I told them I wanted the $30 per month plan, which is supposed to only be for new accounts. The rep on the phone said OK, and now I pay $30 per month for 100 voice minutes, and unlimited text and data!

woohoo!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
That's a good plan. The first 5gb at 3/4g speed, then they throttle back however I have the $50 unl talk+texts and 100mb data @3/4g. I go over 100mb all the time and rarely notice speed reduction except for downloading large files, but that's what WiFi is for.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpaul007:
Are you kidding me? I don't know how many times I tried to get switched to that plan and I got absolutely nowhere. Are you sure you got the unlimited plan and not the other $30 plan?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyeb:
I have no problems switching to that plan myself online. I did buy a prepaid sim card from a real tmobile store. They told me I could switch plans myself later on so I bought it, prepaid sim can go to other prepaid plans as well as contract plans (not that I would but that's what they said)

Hi there.

I'm trying to understand what is s-on/s-off, can someone clear me out??

Thanks
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
Security-on security-off when s off you can root without unlocking and flash roms without the need of a pc
[HTC One X] kalitza:
So how do i know if my phone is s-on or s-off? is about the bootleader menu if it sayis unlocked or locked?

Thankx
[HTC One X] mmh5:
go to boot loader by pressing and holding down volume button and the power button

keep holding until you see the boot menu

in the the top of the screen it will be "Locked" or "Unlocked"
[HTC One X] kalitza:
Thank u for all info but for the last post, locked or unlocked is just for the bootloader, s-on or s-off is other thing, is to get access to the whole thing, from the info i got, if u get the s-off u dont need to flash boot.img and u get permanent root access and other stuff.

either way i would like to know if its already possible to switch from s-on to s-off.....

Thanks again
[HTC One X] redfrog1243:
No, there's no way to achieve S-Off if you didn't get it shipped with it.

[HTC One X] DeniCevap:
So that basically means those with S-Off does not void the warranty because you do not unlock the bootloader?

Yes but its near impossible to achieve at the min but we do have to guys workin on it so hopefully soon :D

thank u all for the info.

S-Off can void warrenty, you can mess-up more then unlocked, because all parts of the memory can be reached. So if you mess-up your phone yourself because it's S-Off, you can loose warrenty.

No wonder they admitted made up their mind in few hours at the beginning of the trial and decided the entire case in half a day. I also sense they spoke with the attitude of American vs Korean / to teach them guys something of us vs them.

We think the problems are the American patent system. How they justify granting frivolous sense of look and feed, square / round corner; scroll scan, zoom, are patented innovative created property? What was really created, but rather, has been in used by everybody else in control system, touch screen, human interface for years? Well there are over 300+ countries around the world.

Ok you have multiple choices. 1- go to ebay and pick up an extra battery plus a wall charger, battery should cost around 4 bucks, wall charger 9 bucks

2 best buy or future shop have a charging pad that charges your phone I believe through bluetooth, it's expensive around 60 bucks

3 if you have problems accessing your sd card through usb cord use wifi file explorer, gives you the ability of reading your sd card through your ip address on your cpu (wireless router required & you might have to be rooted)
