Hi All,

I just recently got my gs3 and have already rooted it.

I am still running stock rom with the latest update. I have use titanium backup to freeze a few apps but other than that I havent done much.

I just heard from a friend that the gs3 are recieving their 4.1 official jellybean update soon. If i am on Stock and Rooted with a few apps frozen, is it possible for me to get the ota update. If it isnt possible please say. If it is possible but there are some drawback like unroot or lost apps, please mention that aswell. Also if there is a possibility of flashing the updated 4.1 stock rom directly to my phone using cwm, please let me know. Thanks For the help!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I would unfreeze everything before trying to update (there's Batch defrost in TiBu,i think). As for root, have to wait until someone figures it out for 4.1, just like any new version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imcol:
Thanks for the reply but I wanted a more detailed answer :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
You should be able to get the update, just unfreeze everything. I received an update on an older device when it was rooted. But, because it was a newer version of Android it didn't root in the same manner as before.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I've made versions of the last two OTAs that can be installed through CWM without losing root and I'm confident I or someone else will do the same shortly after the JB OTA is released. I'm also confident full versions of the ROM installable through CWM will be available shortly thereafter.

I wouldn't worry about rooting LH9 or freezing apps, or even installing a custom ROM. Worse case you have to wait a few days to install JB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imcol:
Thanks very much for the responce, I fell preety good that I dont have to unroot or anything. And yea, I can wait a couple of days, so its all good!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] whip_it:
do you know if the official JB update has come to Rogers in Canada?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
If it has, there would already be a couple dozen threads on it here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Majin Kaioh:
Could you link me to the threads for those, please?

My phone is rooted and keeps trying to download and install the updated, but CWM keeps denying it.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
The LH9 OTA is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31802808

The easiest way to apply it is to download all the files in the PIECES section and flash them all in recovery before you reboot. Make sure you flash the kernel after the ROM. If you do it that way, you don't need to worry about getting to unmodified LG1 first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Shocky0:
So I am a former Transformer Prime user and had constant GPS issues. So I finally just sent my Grey Prime 64gb back to amazon for a refund after ASUS was unable to correct the issues after an RMA.

Now I got an Infinity 64gb Grey from Best Buy with a C5 serial number. It had a large screen buldge (at the top) and slight light bleed on the bottom of the screen in 5-6 different places. So I got another one and it has slight screen buldges (again C5 serial) and even more light bleed.

I read another thread that said the C5 were early models. So I'm wondering if I order another from BestBuy if I'm going to get another C5 with manufacturing problems. Anyone have any insight to this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I ordered the Infinity 64GB model from BB also, and got a C5 model. I'm tempted to contact ASUS and see if I can get a replacement directly b/c I don't feel like waiting on another tablet after having had mine for so long....

I just reverted mine from JB to ICS so I can root and use OTA Root keeper to get me through the OTA.

As far as light bleeding, can anyone with and without good models show me the difference, either in pics or video?

I have a C5 model as well, but I don't see any problems with the screen being anything other than flat, and only one 'blob' that might be light bleed on black screens, but other than that nothing...unless what I see as normal is, in fact, light bleed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Shocky0:
The light bleed on the two hasn't been extreme but definitely noticeable on a black screen. This has been frustrating trying to get a good tablet. I'm returning both to best buy tomorrow and going to wait for Amazon to have stock again. Best Buy has plenty of stock but they seem to be the older editions.

Also someone said something about the screen being substituted, anyone know if that is true?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
No idea here. However, the screen is, as I said, flat.

I bought mine from BB only b/c of the 18 months same as cash deal....I cannot afford to outright buy one right now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
That's odd, I got mine several weeks before the official release (which is nearly a month before the US release, as Europe got it earlier) and it's a C06... Where the heck did they get C5's from, when C06 is the pre-release version?

I suspect you might actually have the beta product line. Suggest you return it and explicitly tell them to deliver a newer model, as you're not paying for a beta product.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Shocky0:
I don't know.. Perhaps BB Online is down only to the C5. I am correct in understanding that C5XXXXX refers to the beginning of the serial number right? Because that's where I see the C5. That's how I remember it on the primes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Yes, it's the serial number. C5XXXXXXXXX, C6- etc.

That could very well be the case. Is there a possibility to send them a message during the order? If so you can try to specifically request a higher serial number.

(And in my previous post my phone autocorrected the C6 to C06 because it thought I was typing a phonenumber. Ignore that, it's C6...)
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I've had mine at exactly 30 days on Monday. I'll see about getting a replacement today.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinja:
Can I get a link to a thread on a WORKING method to root the KF2 running firmware version 10.1.3? There are thousands of people out there with old versions of rooting that do not WORK. Extremely frustrated. I've wasted a lot of time, and I cannot find what I am looking for in any threads.

I have installed drivers onto my machine and now need to get TWRP to show Online. It says offline all the time and I'm wondering if I simply haven't gained access to the correct version?

PLEASE! Help.

Zinja
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I think you're getting a little confused here. First of all, TWRP never shows online or offline...It's custom recovery that sits on your recovery partition. You're probably thinking of KFU. Second, neither TWRP nor KFU work for the 2nd gen Kindle Fires. You cannot install any ROMs on the 2nd gen KFs, only root them. There are instructions for rooting them, but they aren't anything like the original.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinja:
Thank you!

1. Thank you for clearing up my confusion on TWRP and KFU. You were correct.

2. I will follow insturctions on the new root method.

3. I want to make sure: NO ROMs are working yet on the KF2? Thanks, Amazon? Will someone crack that? Are you optimistic?

4. I also want to make sure: this is now bogus? Or never WAS for the KF2? Only KF1? ---> http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/3...kindle-fire-miui-android-jellybean-update.htm
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no99sqrd:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinja:
Thank you for the link to the thread, in which I will eventually find what I am looking for.

I now see info in there that is for the KF2HD and that the new ones are locked?

Is there specific direction for KF2's and how to frickin' root them?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The KF2s are the same way. They're already running ICS, so rooting and installing a new launcher is usually sufficient to get a decent tablet experience, but you still won't get the typical ICS interface you might be used to. You won't have any kind of decent recovery to fall back on in case something goes awry, so you should be very careful when messing with files you wouldn't normally have access to. If you do decide to go with a launcher, stay away from the ICS launcher. As tempting as it may be, it has caused a good number of the original KFs to be bricked, requiring the intervention of a custom recovery to fix.

As far as installing any kind of ROMs, you might as well forget about it for now. The motivation for getting past the new KFs security seems to have dwindled quite a bit in the last couple of weeks, and I personally think it's not going to happen, but you never know...

Make sure you have a updated version of cwm. You can try rom manager from the market (free) flash cwm for the S3 American. I believe if you flash touch you will run into the same problem.

If rom manager says your phone isn't supported, there is a sticky somewhere with all the latest cwm for our s3's

JellyBean really is out but the bluddy thing won't install for me!!!

See screenshot here for confirmation- http://i45.tinypic.com/160al46.jpg

I tried to install it last night via my Windows 8 and Windows 7 laptops and I have now tried it on my Windows 7 pc at work but it just won't happen!

I get occasional errors that it couldn't get admin rights from the phone, and now it seems to be Kies itself that's knackered with KiesPDLR crashing.

I got my phone from Mobi-city.co.uk. It came from Hong Kong but seems to be the European version. None of this should matter though, as if Kies is offering me the firmware then surely it has recognised that my phone is one of the ones that should get it!

Really annoyed!!!
