Sup People...This question may seem a bit redundant to some of you here....of course u can tell I am noob, but i'm tryn to soak it all up....But anyway....What is the latest kernel and root process for SGH-i777... I have tried and older Odin that came with a kernel...but when i reboot the phone it say i900...SMH....anyway i think i have the process down...just wanted to know about newer ways or soft to root...oh yea...and wat is the use of clockworld and how to use it...Thanks in advance for the help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Zombiex5000:
Do you still have the wrong ROM (I9000) on phone right now? If so, then go back to the stock gingerbread 2.3.4 OS so you can use the zergrush exploit to root and then install mobil odin to flash a kernel (found in the general section for our phone). Or find an Odin 1-click file (Windows) with a rooted Stock GB or ICS ROM and flash that with the phone in download mode (found in the android development section for our phone). Not sure if there is a rooting method for the stock ICS you get through the Kies update. If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me. ;) Clockwork Mod is used to flash custom ROM's and kernels in a custom ROM environment. Also make sure when you download somthing it comes from the SGH-I777 android development forum and not the I9000 forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MonSTARo:
I am running the official OTA ICS version...i installed thru kies.. 4.0.3 i think it is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Zombiex5000:
Then the only option I have found is using Odin with the phone in download mode to install a pre-rooted version of the stock ICS for our phone (found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746181 )

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuestK00345:
I guess this thread is borderline Q&A and borderline Apps so I will just go ahead and post it here.

I am looking for an Instant Upload service for my photos and videos. I previously used Google+, but i have heard different things about size limits. What is the best Instant Upload service that will upload the full file and not compress it, etc? Also, is there a way for pictures to be automatically deleted once it is uploaded to the cloud? Or, will I have to go in and occasionally delete the camera folder?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
Dropbox does instant upload. You will have to delete the photos physically on your phone though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kravguy:
Foldersync. It'll do not just media but whatever. A lot of flexibility too including deleting from the phone after upload, etc. Supports multiple cloud services. Been using it since I got my hox, it's a must have app with the limited storage.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
I was wondering why my bill was higher this month so I called verizon and to my shock my gs3 was not grandfathered into unlimited plan. The verizon guy guaranteed us unlimited data which is why we continued with them. I didnt catch last month's bill because it was the same price but said 2gb and now they're saying too late screw u. Anybody else have this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
when did you buy your phone, and did you start a new contract for it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
Ordered it the day before the cutoff date. Dont remember exactly at the moment but know for sure it was one day before, think 27th of june. Now they are saying the rep i called to order was probably wrong and that because mine was preordered it didnt count because it was activated in the 9. I received it and activated it on the 9th if July. But already paid for it before that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
I'm terrible at explaining this sorry. I'll put more details. My gf ordered a iphone 4 and i preordered a gs3 day before cutoff date of unlimited data. The at verizon that we called guaranteed us unlimited data. She still has unlimited and i don't. Rep i just talked to said it had to be activated on sept. 8 but i received mine on sept. 9. I told her ppl on forums preordered theirs and got unlimited still and she said those ppl on forums lied. Payed last months bill without noticing mine said 2 gb data cuz it was same price. Now they said i cant do anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
If you push hard enough they can definitely fix it for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
People on the forums didn't seem to "lie" - many were sharing stories on what worked/what didn't work to keep unlimited during the preorder wait for deliveries.

I kept my unlimited from preordering two phones for upgrading our lines, as an example.

But, we activated very soon after delivery months ago. Your preordered Galaxy S III arrived in early September?

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
I kept pushing but they said there is no more unlimited so changing back is impossible. I even told them before i hung up that i wud cancel it. She just said well you'll have to pay the early termination fees. Both of these ladies were kinda rude too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tiburon02:
Keep escalating it , if anything find the executive customer support line and call that number. An executive email bomb could also work (per the Consumerist website).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
thanks will do that Tiburon. Just wanted to see if what they were telling me were true or not
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
You seemed to mention they told you activating this late was the primary issue with regaining unlimited right now.

Do you know why your phone arrived so late if it was ordered before the activation cutoff?

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
Thing is the phone wasn't out yet till that date but from everything i was reading ppl preordering cud still keep unlimited plan. Plus verizon guaranteed me that. The main problem is that i paid last month's bill without noticing it said 2gb
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I'm not sure what information you were given, but I'm not aware of preorders from June that took until September to finally ship.

See this now-famous Verizon Galaxy S III preorder thread for more details and lots of user stories on when phones shipped.

If you ordered after June 28th, getting the unlimited grandfathering deal is tough.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
If you received the phone on sept 9 and activated it then thats pretty late at activating(2 months past the delivery dates for pre orders). The verizon rep i talked to when i preordered it said I should activate it before july 11th to keep my unlimited and thats what I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
Oh my bad i meant july not sept. It wasnt long it was the day it was supposed to be released.

This is the second month I've had this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
sorry for confusing u guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
Something isn't adding up. If you preordered the phone it should of shown you keeping unlimited data on your receipt. If it does then take it to Verizon. You renewed your contract under the premises of retaining unlimited data. They cannot not honor what you signed a contract for if so it would be null n void and you are free to cancell at anytime without paying a etf. I did this one time when I was younger and Cingular raised the cost of txt messaging from 10 cents to 25 cents per message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ssmaster:
Muh badd dogg. You ordered too late.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] teggy_D:
Exactly, because that^^ is what was on mine when going through the preorder process and renewing the plan.

Verizon bastards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
No i did not preorder too late. I made sure of that. I might of made date mistakes posting this but not when i ordered it. The only receipt i received was wen it was shipped in the box. On my gf's iphone 4s it says 29.99 for unlimited on the featues section that i just noticed looking at it now. Mine does not say anything. Our account is on her name if it makes any difference
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
He pre order the day before the cut off date and the phone arrived july 9th he activated and like many verizon put him in 2gb data plan. Hoping he wont notice.

Many called back and got their unlimited restored.

Call again and check your confirmation emails. It must say somewhere the terms of your contract

Dont thank/like/rep my posts or ill report you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
I have a saved copy of a chat log with asking a verizon rep asking her if i pre order on the last day(june 28th) if i would be able to keep my unlimited. I can give you a copy of it if that helps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
If you ordered after June 28th, it was no longer a preorder, I believe.

So, your ability to obtain unlimited could rest on the plan conditions in the order/invoice you received for this phone and showing that to Verizon, as others have said.

Otherwise, you can argue with Verizon about an oral agreement that was made (really, good luck and hope that helps), but it sounds possible that you ordered beyond the date for grandfathering of unlimited accounts and - without it being stated on your order/invoice - may never have had such an agreement in the first place.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
rlatjs 17 i wud love to have that chat log copy. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
Definitely did it on the 27th cuz i was on droidxforums wen i had that phone and read about the unlimited data so i ordered that night after work. The vzw guy kept telling me about the share plan that was coming up cuz im usually under 2 gb and i kept telling him i already read about it and said no i go over sometimes and dont want to deal with it. Getting off the phone i made sure i was grandfathered and he said guaranteed multiple times and its even recorded he said. If he made a mistake and i didnt catch it then i dont have an argument? thanks for helping me out tho and everyone else too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
They definitely are screwing you. Problem is, after 14 days it is difficult to get unlimited back. But you have to keep escalating. Verizon messed you up. That being said, any time there is any activity on my account, I verify that I still have unlimited. Already caught them cancel it once and I got it back within an hour. But they always tell me once it's off your account for 14 days, it's gone forever. I would threaten to sue. You would be amazed what you can get done if you make people think you'll go nuclear war on 'em. I actually got Wirefly to give me $20 cash(not credit or merchandise, cash money) after I made a purchase because they didn't follow the procedure they said they would and I felt it cost me $20 relying on the salesman. Took some arguing and threatening. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
As soon as i get back home in gonna keep going at them. Thanks Jack, that actually motivated me even more
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
I keep this saved in case they try to steal it away from me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sprovo:
I basically went through the same thing with them yesterday. They were extremely rude and would not do anything. After saying we were going to leave they just said you'll have to pay the termination fee which would be around $1000. Been a Verizon customer for over 10 years
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
If you preordered by june 28th you can get your unlimited back easy peasy lemon sqeezy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pnutts:
Update: these verizon ppl finally seemed helpful. Seems like they really tried to help me out but since we paid last month's bill it apparently it's an agreement of the terms and it was our fault for not noticing it. The supervisor said the only ppl higher up don't take calls and only look at forms of petition that she cud do but they wud deny that form because it was longer than 2 weeks and because we paid the bill. The reason that my plan changed was because when i received my phone on July 9 i called them to activate because it wasn't working. Something happened and their system changed my plan to 2 gb data automatically because that was the only plan left (unlimited option gone by the time i received phone). They admitted it was there mistake but nothing cud be done because we didn't notice until now. Sucks still if u ask me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phieta:
That's ludicrous!

I hate Verizon so much.

I suggest going to different corporate stores (maybe go to a certified retailer if the others weren't helpful).

Again, raise hell. Start calm. Bring a folder of all your papers. Receipts, chats, forum posts about preordering guaranteed unlimited across the country. Try to go with more ppl than yourself

I'd point back to the original terms of service. Although it was caught early on, they tried to say I was stuck on the new plan bc we had a phone replaced after the 28th. (The new replacements had to be "bought" to register with the system) No no no. Someone at their call center overrode my account and manually changed it back to unlimited bc it was not originally allowing it.

I really feel for you. Makes me so angry.

I consider the VERidiot store employees no good degenerates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rom-Addict:
This happened to me on my preorder, I paid the bill which was higher thinking activation fees then the next time I payed I noticed my plan was 2g, was charged for data overages, longy shorty I *****ed they refunded my account and put unlimited back on.check ur receipt that came with order, mine said unlimited what does yours say?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Don't bother going to a retail store, corporate or not. They don't have the ability to reinstate unlimited and will have to put you on with customer service. Save the trip and keep at them on the phone.

The store employees feel the same about you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] got556:
There's a guy on Rootzwiki that has some pull in VZW. May want to scan those forums and see if he can help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
I was afraid of that. That is the exact same thing that happened when I got my S3. Had to change sims, when they activated the new sim it changed me to a 2gb plan. I would probably never have noticed except when we were done she asked if there was anything else. I got in the habit of asking about my unlimited when ending a call. To my surprise she said I was on a 2gb plan. I informed her I had unlimited when the called and it was back within 30 min. Now I like to check my data on My Verizon app periodically to make sure 'unlimited' is still written there.

That is a total bummer, man. I am pretty sure you could cancel if you want and either get them to drop the early termination charge or sue them for it in small claims and win on the merits. Which basically means you could get them to drop it. They know it was their mistake. T-Mobile has unlimited 4G, you know.

I agree with what others have written, though. I believe it cannot be impossible to get it back on. I have always found in this type of situation, you have to appear to be completely unreasonable, unwilling to compromise, angry, and vengeful. Only way to get a giant uncaring corporation to bend their procedures backward for you is a combination of making them believe your threats(which means you really need to be willing to go through with them) and being a squeaky wheel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] msav:
I going through the same thing with them. I pre-odered the morning they opened up for pre-orders. I had to call to get the phone to activate I guess that is when they switched it from unlimited to 2gb

My phone is on my company account so dealing with them has been difficult as I do not have the pull as the account holder. I have the documentation of my pre-order that clearly states unlimited data. The last time I called they kept telling me that I agreed to the 2gb plan with the new phone. His tune changed when I emailed him the pre-order confirmation that clearly stated unlimited data. He said that he would send the request through again (it was denied the first time) and if it came back denied again he would escalate it for me. He said it would be done by Monday 10/8. and that he would call me when it was done.

I did not leave it at that since I don't believe it. Last time they said that the guy never called me back and I waited 3 weeks before calling that saying WTF. So I sent nasty emails to the Business rep and and the Business call center. They keep replying saying it has been too long since they changed my plan to 2gb and they cannot change it back. I then threatened to file complaints to the bbb/ftc/fcc. I requested Arbitration as you cannot sue them (it is in your contract) Even though I am not paying this bill I am going to fight this til the end. I will not give up. I will call them eveyday wasting their reps time until this is fixed.

The sad part is. I don't even come close to using more than 2gb. This is wrong and I am not going to let them get away with this.

I still have yet to speak to a manager. Every time I ask they say my manger is not here right now. convenient!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Xmeoff:
Similar situation, upgraded and luckily found out same day plan was changed. Lucky for me I go to the same store and deal with the same guy, the manager. Stay on it, they'll correct the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
The phone didn't do this, you buying a subsidized phone got rid of unlimited data. If you would have bought your phone outright or brought one in, you would have been fine. Unlimited data went away a lot earlier than Sept. Or July. I agree something doesn't add up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] byrds8:
That's BS if you ask me. Too bad filing an FCC complaint doesn't fall under this. The executive offices definitely call you for that one. I filed a complaint because of blocking Google Wallet. Within 2 weeks got a call lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hrbib21:
Typical customer service tactics, ignore the problem and hope it goes away. I am a customer service manager for a federal contractor and we would be out of a contract and out of business if this occurred.

I know it's the principle but, if you don't use more than 2gb, is it worth the fight? I've been debating this internally myself. I added a new line a few months back using an old phone for my gf and decided last week to use the upgrade on that line on the SGS3 and then added it on to my unlimited line. I don't often use more than 2gb either but I'm just not willing to give up unlimited so I do understand but it seems like a lot of hassle for little to no return.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
I'd love to hear what they had to say on that subject.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ihavenolife008:
raise hell (politely) and you may get lucky. sad to hear this happening. i got lucky in retail and told them i'm upgrading (using a diff line) and i was keeping my unlimited. after being told they couldn't, i just said i'd order it online and do it myself... lady did it all in store for me (activated it first on the upgrade line, then transfered to my line and reactived old phone without it even being there.) Keep some faith! Keep pushing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] byrds8:
About what you would expect. The lady told me that Verizon is in no way blocking GW and that they are working closely with Google to bring it to their devices. They said it had to be integrated or some crap like that and ensured that its secure. I pointed out its funny that it works on Sprints GS3 which is practically the same device. All she had to say to that is she wasn't sure about that. She pointed out Google Maps was a competing product to Verizon Nav and they didn't block it. That was her proof they didn't block competing apps lol.Basically same old song and dance.
