ok. i'm in Odin download mode. niw what?

I thought I had to be in recovery to flash the zip. That's how I flashed the first leak...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adolfo778:
But by what you described your on stock recovery now. Flash cwm you can find the file in the toolkit thread or install twrp (its an apk) look for it in the dev section

twrp would be your safest bet
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Easiest way to get recovery is install goo mgr from the store. Press menu then install openrecovery.

Make sure these are deleted.

/system/install-recovery.sh

/system/etc/recovery-from-boot.p

Now back in goo mgr press reboot recovery.

Flash your heart out!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] synergymike:
Well I guess I had this coming for having missed out on all the other bugs mentioned for this release... First I am unrooted and did the update from UVALH2 manually through the stock recovery.

About mid day today I noticed all my signal bars gone and that I wasn't connected to T-mobiles network. Rebooted the phone and and all the signal bars came back but no 4g or Edge next to the signal bars - tried to make a call and got the error "not registered to a network". Went into settings and made sure mobile data was turned on, tried to manually find the network, the search came back with T-mobile and AT&T but when I select T-mobile nothing happens. WiFi is working just fine and my signal bars are full up.

Tried to Odin back to UVALH2, it runs fine and everything looks like it should, reboot the phone and it just hangs on the Samsung logo. So I went back into the stock recovery and decided I would try the update.zip - that runs fine and the phone reboots normal but still not able to connect to T-mobile. I have tried this several times with the same result.

Also tried to odin flash CMW, everything indicates that it was a successful flash but only the stock recovery comes up... Looks like I am running Sammy's smallest tablet now :(

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

-Edit-

Was finally able to odin back to UVALH2 but still can't register to the network - I think at this point this rules out this ota as the problem. I guess its possible my sim card went bad. Looks like a trip to Tmobile tomorrow.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
As for te recovery always being stock. The ota includes two files that reinstall stock recovery every boot.

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Delete these and itll stop. If youve installed a full fw they should already be gone. Only comes with otas.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adolfo778:
Looks like its the imei :/

Check in settings/about/status and scroll down to imei

IMEI is fine, went to tmobile and checked the sim and played with apn settings, nothing worked. They are overnighting me a new phone.

does anyone know when the official JB is released for the t999?

Evertime i try to flash this thru CWM it says installation aborted. Im on uvlh2 stock/rooted. I had usb debugging on and it won't install. I think i might wait for the official release, just not sure when it's released. Thanks, Jake

I keep getting this when ever I open nfc-enabled apps, it just started happening after I installed google wallet. Anyway to fix this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chadster214:
unfortunately this is a leaked rom.so it's not 100% working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] themadzionist:
thanks

Thanks jgalan, I'm kinda new so do you think you could tell me how to do it please? I put the file on my internal sd. Do i have to move it to the external card since I'm using the stock recovery and do i rename it to something? And last question, do i factory reset, wipe cache and dalvick? Thanks alot, i reply appreciate it, Jake
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
You put it on the sd card, (I usually rename it update(use the stock Samsung file transfer it will make sure to have .zip at the end). Now that you have the ready go to recovery mode. There will be an option that says update from sd card(or something alike) it will let you choose the file (choose the one you rename) and it will take a few minutes, now the recovery you can wipe the phone to make sure everything works fine (remember is a leak and still have some small bugs) and your done, when the new update comes out you need to ge back to h2 or be rooted and wait for a rooted version, I believe they are two rooted versions of this rom in the developer section
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] themadzionist:
worked

Thanks again for the quick reply, worked exactly how you said. I really appreciate the help.

If your market doesn't work after flashing this update you need to boot into recovery and clear your cache then do a factory reset.

I currently have CM10 nightly build installed on my SIII....how do I get this new ota leak onto my phone instead of CM10 nightly? I am new to this...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nicklas18:
i went from stock to this rom and i think its working great. other than the gallery issue ( i tried to crop a photo and found out it has issues) otherwise, taking and viewing photos/videos works fine. my other issue is the audio. it sounds so tinny now compared to the previous stock build i had. any chance a beats audio port or some other better overlay? i've tried google music, the stock player, winamp, poweramp, and nothing seems to be as good quality. any suggestions?

everything else works great as a daily rom for me so far - sms w/attachements, instagram, skype, twitter, fb, camscanner, google now, maps, etc, etc...though i wish the yahoo fantasy football app covered all my teams...
[Networking] hawkshot:
For the short version, skip below

At the moment, I have a LG Optimus V on Virgin Mobile running some variant of CM 7.x that the dev doesn't support anymore. The current plan I have is the $45 ($49.84 with tax) per month 1200 minute plan of which I never go over. 3G seems slow running off of the Sprint network (tested just now it is 780kbps at my apartment). 3G seems to disappear sometimes, but that could be the ROM I am using. The phone has slow Wi-Fi and a majority of the time only has one bar.

Tomorrow, I will be receiving an unlocked Galaxy Nexus from Google ($391.86). Now here is where the tricky part comes in:

I was planning on going to T-Mobile and signing up for their "unlimited" talk, text and web (2 gigabyte) for $60 before taxes and fees on a 2 year contract. I would also get a discount from work of 15% which I assume would cover the taxes.

A co-worker mentioned that T-Mobile also has pre-pay. As far as I can tell, the only difference is that there is no contract, there is no data roaming and no work discount. If someone didn't have the discount offer I can't see a reason they would go with a SIM on contract unless I am missing something.

What should I do?

Short version:

Ordered a Google Nexus, what should I do now?

A. Return the Google Nexus for a restocking fee and stick with the $45 Virgin Mobile provider. (Save more, but with slow and spotty data)

B. Keep the phone, get T-Mobile pre-pay SIM @ $60 (no contract, assuming faster more reliable data, but 15% more over the 2 year contract and about $15 more than VM)

C. Keep the phone, get T-Mobile 2 year contract SIM @ $60 and a 15% discount. (More expensive than VM, less expensive then non-contract, assuming faster more reliable data, 2 year contract)

D. Other option I have not considered
[Networking] Euler MD:
I would buy the T-Mobile $30 for 100 min, Ultd Min and 5GB high speed data
[Networking] hyelton:
If your worried about slow data then why would u get the unlocked Nexus?? Your data will be EVEN more SLOWER on T-Mobile, Cause you will only get EDGE unless tmobile has 1900 band in your area.

And also if your doing a 2 year contract why not just get a phone? thats usually the point of doing a contract as well
[Networking] Babydollll:
Wrong.

The Unlocked Nexus Is PENTABAND.

Meaning it supports the 1700/2100 AWS frequencies that T-Mobile requires as well as the 850/1900 NAM bands that AT&T uses PLUS the 900 band that used in some countries outside the US.

You are thinking about unlocked INTERNATIONAL phones that only get EDGE on T-Mobile unless you live in an area that T-Mobile has switched their 1900mHz band to HSPA+

Please do some more research before posting DISinformation. Thank you.

In regards to the OPs question, you have to take into consideration what's more important to you...fast data (and paying slightly higher monthly fees to get it), cheaper service (and slower data), or how you feel about contracts.

I would go with faster data....but that's just me. Contracts don't bother me. That may not be the case for you.
[Networking] hyelton:
oh okay, Didnt see that:D

I still wouldnt see signing a contract AND bringing your own device.
[Networking] Babydollll:
You can sign a contract with T-mobile and get their VALUE plan(s). There are no device subsidies (as with the classic plans) but you DO SAVE a significant amount on your monthly service (ex: I pay 59.99$ for 1000 min, 20$ unlimited texts (i'm on a family plan, this would be less for an individual plan) and 30$ unlimited (no more 5gb cap)

For a value plan this would be 49.99$ for the minutes and 20$ for the data (not sure about the texts although i'm pretty sure that would be less as well...for a savings of AT LEAST 20$ (probably more if you include texts) a MONTH over the classic plans. Those of us who prefer device subsidies (like myself) can opt to pay less upfront for devices and more per month...

Options....it's all about options
[Networking] FEXTEZI:
Think

1) Try to think whats better for you

2) Use Google in help

3) Also use youtube, there are more help for you dude
[Networking] MrObvious:
Try T-Mobile using prepaid first to see if you like the coverage and that way you aren't locked in a contract for two years. I honestly am not a big fan of postpaid anymore because the prepaid plans have gotten quite comparable to postpaid. You can get the $60 prepaid plan and get the same service (except roaming) but if you decide you don't like it, changing providers won't cost you the ETF. Plus ordering the Nexus means you can have a nice phone and go where the service is great (for GSM anyway).
[Networking] jpierce1987:
personally i would sign a contract and get the best free android phone you can get, install a good rom and unlock it, and sell it on craigslist to pay for a portion of the nexus you already bought. I wouldn't get T-Mobile though. Never again, too many bad experiences with them. Not to say anyone else is any better, i just really don't want to deal with them again. I have AT&T, and while i have never had a messed up bill, or the crappy customer service i received with T-Mobile, i do drop a lot of calls... So there are pros and cons to all providers. Also, i recommend testing out the areas you are in all day (home/work) with a friends phone, on all major carriers and see which carrier works best in your area as far as speed and signal... I don't so much have the option in my area, i am pretty much stuck with either ATT or Verizon, and since i have the grandfathered unlimited plan on att, i am not going to switch to verizon and pay MUCH more... But my point is that every carrier has pros and cons overall, it all depends on your preference and which has the best coverage in your area. But no matter who you sign up for, get the best cheap android, add a rom and unlock it and sell on craigslist. :)

Had a gs2 but have since moved on. Need to find something for the wife though, hence the wife test. Best as I can tell the top TW Rom looks to be evolution v8. How are the cm10/AOKP Roms shaping up?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] markusf21:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koudies:
I'm assuming that ur wife would be much like my wife. Lots of texting, some talking, internet stuff here and there.

Looks shouldn't be a priority but rather battery life. I would go with either infamous rom, darkside, or Jedi mind trick. I have flashed all of them and have enjoyed them all.

If its all looks to her, check out the CM 9/10 roms.

But then again... when is a wife ever satisfied.

Good luck.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] vincentnyc:
my 8.9 tab has 16 GB total. i heard that the 8.9 only allow 1 GB for installed apps which is shared with the RAM memory. is that true? or you can install as much apps as you want all the way up to 16 GB (which in actual 12 GB)?

also how do i find out how much memory is all my total install apps? i went into my installed apps and at the bottom it stated i have used 780 MB so far out of 12 GB. but my question, how do i find out of 780 are installed apps, and how much are user data such as music, photo, videos etc.?

Yeah I believe the no trip Odin method is the best because you can flash that ROM through Odin . Then download ROM manager and flash recovery through the app. Then put your favorite ROM you want to flash on your internal SD card. Boot into recovery flash reboot done! Cheers! :beer:

Yes, some moderators can come off as arrogant. I can see their frustration as the threads get bogged down with the same questions over and over again. Although, they need to accept their position as moderator and not allow their frustrations to spew onto others. Lesson... Read, read, read... Your question has been answered 99% of the time. Especially in development threads. The same question asked repeatedly can slow down development, because instead of working on improving the device, they have to answer the same questions 50 times.

If the phone was on Verizon originally, it is a Motorola Droid (A855), not a Milestone (A853 or A854). That also means it uses a CDMA radio and will not work on ATT which uses GSM.
