[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] THORMUNZ:
So i got my phone today and i was talking to this well known worker at sprint and i asked him if i were to root my phone and then unroot it will my warranty be voided or it wouldn't? he told me something and i forgot it but i dont remeber so does it or not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] musclehead84:
No it does not. Sprint cannot deny you warranty if u rooted your phone. Its always better though to unroot before u take it in though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] THORMUNZ:
so even if im paying 11 extra buks they cant right? and thnks ima doo that root and then unroot if anything happens

Wow wow wow.....just got my New Galaxy and I have flashed older devices but it would go wrong on the newest most expensive phone I've had (smh). My phone just flashes Samsung and won't boot. I can get it into download mode and I have Odin but I do not have the right firmware to flash to it. Can anybody please help??????

Hi
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBSt4l0n:
I am looking for a copy of correct firmware too. If I can find it I will let you know, please do the same for me. My phone is not bricked but wanna have a backup plan before I start flashing anything. You can take your phone back and tell them the battery went dead and once you got it charged and turned it on it started doing this. CSpire employees are dumb, they won't know any better and will replace your device. I know from experience. I bricked my buddies Milestone X2 while trying to unlock it's bootloader. He took it to the store the next day and they replaced it for free.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamebrednupe:
Man are u serious!!!! lol Even with the binary counter?? Just my luck they will be like h#ll no "you must pay full price for a new device". I'v been thinking about trying that but just doesn't seem like it will work. I will definitely let you know if I find the firmware, I'm glad I kept my old phone might just wait until insurance kicks in and get a new one for 199$ if I havent found the firmware by then.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamebrednupe:
Man success!!! I found the sprint firmware here and was able to get back to stock splash screen then returned for a new one...they didnt even vheck download mode where my binary count was 31!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBSt4l0n:
good they are really dumb. thank god they are lol. root your phone using sprint method, and currently there are no roms that are completely compatible with our device. Data does not work on any sprint roms, and don't go flashing any other company's roms either. oh can you do me a favor and check your PRL version for me?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamebrednupe:
I tried to root again using toolbox sprint method but it soft bricked again. I know drivers were installed and the root worked but no full boot..I could hear Cspire's theme play but charge light stayed on with black screen. ...idk where I went wrong..but reflashed back to stock.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FanDroid09:
Hey everyone... so I need some input, I know a guy who recently used his upgrade to buy an ion but already has a GNex and is willing to give me the ion brand new for a great price and I was wondering if you know if the warranty would still be valid under me? Basically if some thing we're to go wrong could i still file a warranty claim even though I didn't originally purchase it from AT&T? Thanks for any replies everyone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
I would say yes but I'd call att really
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] panicc.co:
Just have the contract put In your name. But Sony warranty will always be valid.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Greenarcher707:
I bought mine from a friend so if anything whoever had the phone originally would have to call at&t to initiate a warranty exchange through them but if you go directly to sony the warranty is valid no matter who owns the phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mes3:
Thats false. I had to do 3 warranty exchanges on a Atrix HD that I bought off CL (they're sending me an ION). AT&T just checks to make sure the phone is still under warranty by the IMEI.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sichigo:
Hi guys, need some help here. I bought a BNIB Nexus 7 8GB off craigslist and it turns out it's some kind of pre-production/demo unit. It runs smooth and does exactly what I need it to do but there are some minor annoyances in the system and it'd be great if I can load a stock rom onto it. Does anyone know how I can update the SW so it'll be running stock rom? I've tried the "Flash Stock + Unroot" option in Nexus Root Toolkit but when the DOS menu pops up it just fails everything and gets stuck in fastbook. I had to do a hard reset to boot it back up and nothing changed. If someone can give me a hand here that would be wonderful.

Here's some info in "About Tablet":

Android Version: Jellybean

[Galaxy S III General] Kremata:
Hi Guys,

XDA is blessed with a multitude of talented developers and is truly a gold mine of information which makes it the universal Android temple of knowledge (wow, I’m about to cry.) This said, the knowledge is sometimes hard to find in the enormous amount of posts written everyday (not really, just use the search engine. Nah, that‘s too easy). Anyway I decided to find some helpful guides and tutorial and put them all in the same thread (I’m sure it was done before but…)

NOTE: This is a work in progress. It is actually a first draft. Honestly, after reading some of those guides I realized I don’t have the knowledge or competence to say if they are good or not. So I choose the one written by recognized developers and/or the one directly related to the Galaxy S3. I’m really counting on some of you to help me find more useful guides and to tell me if some should be removed. Some guides come from other phones thread and some are a bit dated but I think they are still useful. (You tell me)

WARNING: These guides contain words and sentences that can clog ignorance and induce brain cells stimulation. Some side effects including an augmentation of the knowledge (quickly followed by an iritation of the noob), happiness, strong desire to test new ROMs and compulsive phone flashing might occur. If these side effects persist I suggest to click my thank button, build a new ROM and write your own guide. Read at your own risk.

Because XDA has got so big, and the android community seems to be full of pre-pubescant teens who 'want that fix now', or 'want that answer now'...you will never be able to get them to read a guide like this, no matter how detailed or informative

I currently have the Stock software atm on my Galaxy S III. I was planning to get Cyanogenmod 10, but I see that it is nightly builds.

I was wondering how nightly builds work? Does that mean that everyday you have to update your phone? Also, doing so, will you have to wipe your phone with every build?

If I decide to wait for a stable Cyanogenmod 10 instead of using the nightly builds, and I use Cyanogenmod 9, then want to re-flash to Cyanogenmod 10 would I have to wipe? I know that I can use titanium backup to backup my apps, I am just curious.
