Not true. Sim works fine on nexus and RAZR...got a new one to be sure.. was hoping this would fix, but now I'm getting a cln replacement
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jabuc88:
Running stock and no update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
For most people new sims will fix the issue, as it did for me but some people have the bad luck as having to get replacements to correct the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xceebeex:
The software update is available now. I was just able to download it now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jo_blow421:
My mom just got the OTA but her battery got too low and wouldn't finish.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] txkorm:
Mine just kicked in with no warning. Thought it was a fake download at first since I hadn't seen anything about it. Fully stock.

Currently not being productive on my S3.

Someone please get invisiblek the system dump
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Is this OTA safe for rooted phones. I rooted my girlfriends phone and she is wanting to download. Should I tell her to temp unroot through SU and download or no????

just got the update :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Anyone download the OTA with a rooted sch-I535? Do I need to SU temp unroot. The whole mandatory word has me nervous. It tried to update and got as far as removing the unlocked lock and custom from the Samsung boot screen. Then it said update failed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
Might not be Jellybean but hey, a Verizon update that fixes stuff is always good. My last phone had 2 updates. Both broke the phone then they never fixed. Will finally update my phone when a legit JB rom comes out thats just TW with a few custom things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
I updated. Lost root and root keeper will not get it back either. May have to Odin back to stock because of this or try that other root method
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I wonder if they're just updating one apk at a time, then once Google now is pushed out then they'll consider it "jelly bean"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
Got root back with this guide http://www.droid-life.com/2012/07/25/new-root-method-released-for-verizons-galaxy-s3-no-odin-required/ unlocked bootloader and flashed recovery ok. Now im just debating if I should stay on it. Do we need kinda crap mods to be updated for this or can we just flash it anyways?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
For some reason, I can't download the VZ update at all. I keep getting service unavailable. And I'm complete stock too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Most likely you need a new sim card. This has happened to a lot of people recently (myself included) and 90% are fixed with a new sim card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Well this totally blows then. I'm kinda far away from the nearest verizon store (I'm attending a university at the moment) and to see this happen to my phone when I already had it for a month really disappoints me. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackBytes:
Did anyone with the VRALHD leaked ROM get an update notification?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jabuc88:
Just got the update...seems faster and more responsive since update..I am stock though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gentleart:
4.0.4...almost SEVEN months later.

What a joke!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I didn't lose root I lost the ability for ROM manager to fix permissions. Luckily or maybe unluckily I had my boot loader locked and cwm dropped the boot up of vzw update because it asked if I wanted to boot out of recovery and said this cannot be undone. I said no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmz768:
Woke up this morning and had a message that my phone had been updated. Weird that I didn't get any notification of an update being available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HardRock70:
So I'm currently stock, but wanting to root so badly because I want the new Google Now. Should I do the OTA update, or stay with at VRALG7? Perhaps a better question is this, will I be able to root if I take the update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
So to confirm you are able to root and unlock after this update? We shouldn't be worried that this will lock our phone down if we are currently running stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x-y-no:
For anyone interested in investigating it or using parts of it, here's the update.zip from the VRALHE OTA:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21561294/VRALHE-update.zip

It contains images for the primary bootloader, secondary bootloader partitions 2 and 3, trust zones partition and resource and power management partition. There are patch updates to the kernel and modem and recovery as well as patches to various stuff under /system and a new app "Magazines.apk"

EDIT: I DO NOT RECOMMEND TRYING TO FLASH THIS! IT IS THE OTA, WHICH AT THE VERY LEAST WILL SCREW UP YOUR CUSTOM BOOTLOADER AND RECOVERY IF IT FLASHES AT ALL. I posted this for reference for anyone wanting to dig in or needing parts of it for development.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] txkorm:
By the looks of my scores this morning, I'm liking the upgrade.

I had to go back to stock G1 and ota to G7 and now downloading the new ota. Was not downloading on HD build. Hopefully someone makes a odin tar for this HE as well. ^_^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ncwildcat:
Any help with the no sim??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jiroveci:
Sort of...

I had rooted using Noxious Ninja's method here, but I was still running stock. I woke up to find that an OTA update had been applied and I lost root (never unlocked the bootloader). Tried to root again using the same method, which didn't quite look like it had worked, as the "testing superuser" screen, which should have shown uid=0 and gid=0 (see below) was blank. Still, after a reboot, looks like I have root back.:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kilxler:
This update has a hidden BONUS. It unlocks Global Roaming for CDMA countries so you can now add Global Plans. I wasn't able to do this a month ago. Yes I just called VZW to confirm and they added the plan successfully. Hope this is useful for some.

Go to Settings > More Settings (under Wireless and network) > Mobile Networks > Global Data Roaming Access.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] musclehead84:
Yes u can root the new update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GREGHARKINS:
I have that option and all I flashed was a the modem not the full update

I'm on synergy 73 and using the HE update to my modem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
Already had that option View attachment 1409265

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That is to roam on Verizon network not for using different carrier sim. Charges are outrageous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
Still haven't fixed the notification light mapping table so that it's consistent with all other phones and the international GS3? I think all other US carriers have long since fixed this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kilxler:
Well one thing's for sure I tried to go oversears and they couldn't put a Global Plan on the account and I called today to do the same and it went threw. Even the VZW support person was surprised and knew she couldn't do it a few days ago. Maybe this "Real" global update is around the corner.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Manwthgun:
I am rooted and unlocked with stock G7 I was able to download the HE load it rebooted into CWM it was unsigned but, I installed anyway. It then prompted me to reboot into stock loader I said Yes to both screens just to see what would happen. It did load into the stock ROM I looked at software details it does state I have HE but, the update said failed but, I could now use the "enhanced zoom" but, it did lock my bootloader I still had EZ-Unlocker and was able to unlock my bootloader. Root stayed all seems to be functioning at the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jparasita:
I am kind of wondering this as well I dont have the problem anymore but can anyone report this has fixed there no sim error at all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fireplug:
I had no issue keeping root with update. I used voodoo ota to protect root. Temporararily unrooted. Went to check for update which found the new update. Downloaded update and told it to install. Phone rebooted and self applied the update. After phone rebooted again it said update successful. I opened voodoo ota and restored the root backup successfully. Checked by using both root explorer and ad away and two root checker utilities. Wireless hotspot hack still works as well. So at least not everyone loses root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Did anybody that was rooted lose "fix permissions" from cwm ROM manager. I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] abissel22:
It does fix the no sim issue. In fact that was fixed a few modems ago.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypera:
It may or not be me, but my phone seems to be "slower" after flashing VRALHE modem. Internet speed, ui responsive, lag opening applications, etc. I was fine before I flashed VRALHE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] txkorm:
Mine started slow after first downloading but now it's smooth as butta!

Currently not being productive on my S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ncwildcat:
So far it has fixed no sim...but nothing to this point did - not G7, not HD...keeping fingers crossed. I do notice I sit at 3g more, but its a tradeoff I will make vs NoSim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidx2.3.3:
I backed up my root and re-locked my bootloader and took the update. Root keeper restored my root and I was able to unlock again. I an running stock Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
Those who have applied the leaked Gmail.apk , or anything like that will not be able to accept this ota . It will fail . If you installed google wallet using the gscript method it will probably fail as well . Maybe someone can package this bad boy up ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicastro78:
Can anyone who had problems with old radio with dropped calls confirm if this improved it or not
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] F'n Amazing:
had the same problem. i wiped cache and dalvik, now working perfect. no clue if that was the issue but it seemed to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
It was supposed to have been fixed, but it in fact wasnt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] km75:
Anybody have any ideas why my phone won't flash the update? Do any mods need to be reversed? Only mods I made were to put the wifi toggle in the notification bar. And I used sqlite editor to get rid of the annoying constant wifi reminder. I reversed both of those mods. I'm wondering if I did a modification that I forgot about. Relocked the bootloader. Flashed stock recovery. Temp unrooted and still no luck. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
Did you freeze any apps with Titanium?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] km75:
Yeah. First thing I did was unfreeze everything
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackBytes:
try following:

Grab the update.zip from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1941254, make sure that the file is named update.zip and put it in the root of your internal storage ( /sdcard in the file explorer), boot in recovery (vol up + home + power) and do the update manually (apply update.zip option). This way it should give you a error message if you didn't get one before.

If the error message doesn't help to debug the problem grab this file and Odin it as pda http://hotfile.com/dl/176205805/555...I535_VZW_1_20120705143513_fti2qg2lmf.zip.html

You will keep your user data/settings but loose root. Just OTA your way up to the HE version and reroot using DebugFS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
If you have tweaked anything like the leaked gmail , etc..... you will need to return to stock before this update will take .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cosmotrkr:
Tem, un-rooted took OTA, Voodoo restored root no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] km75:
This is what I got

E:Error in /temp/sideload/package.zip. (status 7).

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fix-this!:
the new radio didn't do much to improve my signal "which wasn't bad to begin with" but i know my 4g speeds have doubled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lilfurson:
My "No SIM" error seems to be worse on this build. It does seem to happen really bad at my house but not at work. So it does appear to be related to something and not just the phone. I tend to be on 3G at work and 4G at home. What a PITA...I miss my Nexus!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nygrik:
The tech at vzw told me i didn't need a new SIM and offered me a refurb I said no and Odin back to stock g1, rerooted and tried again still no fix...when this update went live I was able to pull g7 and then upgrade to HE might work for you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ncwildcat:
This...I am so fed up with this...after many calls and a warranty cln i finally got a new in box replacement directly from Verizon store...mgr said she also had the same issue and new one finally fixed it...so far so good now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] km75:
Thanks for offering up help. I just odin'd back a couple of versions and accepted the ota's. Actually I might have even done what you suggested in the second part of your post. I'm just not sure if the file you posted is the one I have. Didn't bother to look bcuz I used it successfully when the prior ota came out and I couldn't update. I gotta figure out what it is I'm doing that makes it so I can't install the ota's. Think I might not flash any kind of zips/files to my phone until AFTER we get official jellybean. Once again thanks for offering up some suggestions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
If you're using anything but the stock recovery, or have your bootloader unlocked then the OTA will not install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pepperdax:
I'm running a completely stock version of VRLG7 never rooted and I currently use the toggle widget exploit for my WIFI hotspot. That way I can use the built in function and I do not have to root the device in order to tether.

Can anyone verify for me that the toggle exploit such as widgetsoid will still activate the stock WIFI hotspot in the new VRALHE OTA.

If someone can confirm that it still works I would be very greatful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripken204:
I used ODIN to get back to first stock rom and still couldnt update... went to vzw store today, replaced the sim card, and I could update the phone... that seems to be the solution
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I updated running stock Rom. Bt stack has been reworked. Can't access through root. Blueputdroid is caput. Haven't tried rerbooting but don't know how successful that will be.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

If your phone works fine don't download. I have noticed nothing better other than lag. It lags longer. It's 62-63 mb which is huge for system files to better zoom and radio. Ima dump this update and back up to g7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fireplug:
That is the method I use to tether and can confirm it still works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripken204:
I am on HE an FoxFi works fine, no root required
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Canute:
Damn, mine just failed to update. I just rooted and installed ClockworkMod two or three days ago. I just froze the SDM app. I don't know if I'm going to bother with it because I have four or five months of tweaking it. It's been fine for me and at some point in the not too distant future I'm going to put a different rom on it anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
Just unfreeze SDM, flash stock recovery, update, and reroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boe:
The radio still sucks. I can be stationary - drop a call and have 4 bars and then get it right back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fix-this!:
yeah im back on the HD leaked radio's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Frunple:
It installs fine with CWM installed. Has nothing to do with mods. The name says it all. LG7 to LHE. If you have the HD radio installed go back to LG7 and it installs fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jimahh:
Running stock, rooted, GS3. Took update, lost root. Was able to regain root with SuperSu_GS3_Debugfs_r2b. No problems so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Canute:
Nope, no dice. Back to stock recovery and relocked the boot loader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
And how long did you wait? Actually, did you try flashing an Odin stock file then trying again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Canute:
It's tried half a dozen times now. Just boots up and gives me a message that the update failed. The phone is working well enough that I may just investigate a different rom anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Frunple:
What's the actual message?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Canute:
Just puts up a dialog box saying "Update Failed! This update contains enhancements ... See http://www.verizonwireless.com/galaxys3support for details"

But the "Software Update" menu says code 402.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Canute:
Kind of did an end run by installing Scott's VRALHE ROM. Odd that with the non touch 6.0.1.2 ClockWorkMod it failed the ROM signature, but the touch CWM worked. Baseband still says LG7, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ct_tec313:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalxplode:
Im rooted and have twrp, OTA wont go thru it downloads then it goes to reboot and goes into recovery and does nothing. any ideas???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
OTA's will fail if you have custom recovery. To properly accept the OTA, flash the stock recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Canute:
Flashed the LHE modem code and it's GTG.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] savesheep:
Phone has been rooted using Ninja's GS3DebugFSRoot method. Got update about a week ago, failed with 402. Reflashed stock recovery using EZ Recovery from the market. Tried again, no luck. Uninstalled root by deleting system/xbin/su then unintalling superuser. Rebooted, still not taking update.

Anybody have another suggestion? Hopefully something besides reflashing the stock rom all together :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave852:
So I'm kinda new to the Galaxy S3 but I bought one off the bay a couple weeks back now which came with Optus branded firmware on it. I used Odin to put stock unbranded UK firmware on it and followed some instructions posted somewhere to ensure my phone would once again be liked by Kies and everything is fine.

However there are a couple sounds I'd like to remove from the ROM and I was wondering if it were possible to do this while keeping the 'untouched' feel to my handset? By that I mean the zero counter and 'Device Status: Normal'

Namely that stupid start-up tune and the camera shutter noise.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Sounds are in system/media/audio/

Start up is PowerOn..ogg

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
You cannot do it without rooting

sent from here, there, somewhere!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcelMAH:
You can always use Triangle Away (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.triangleaway&hl=en) to get the status back to normal. Both will show as normal when you used Triangle Away AND have a stock rom again. I assume removing the two sound files won't change that status, rooting might... not sure!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave852:
Is there anything like this available for the S3? http://www.tutspack.com/wiki/How_to_ROOT/UNROOT_Stock_ICS_Firmware_without_flashing_unsecure_kernel

It would just be a case of root, use root explorer to delete files and then unroot?

Or maybe there is a simple way for me to remove the sounds from the stock firmware before flashing? Presumably this would screw with the checksum for the firmware though so my phone would know it was running a custom ROM?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
Unrooting means re-flashing a stock ROM which is going to put the sounds back, so leave root alone once you have it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave852:
Okay this worked on stock DLJ4 firmware.

Follow this to get root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957273.

Use Root Explorer to delete annoying sounds.

Follow this to get back to zero and normal status http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952282

Use the SU app that step one installed to unroot.

There we have it. For all intents and purposed a stock phone that updates properley under Kies and over the air and will run the UK Barclays Banking app without complaining about there being root access (as you unrooted) and no annoying sounds.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shonkin:
So, nabbed an Asus Transformer TF101 off Craigslist for $225. With keyboard. Feeling good about that.

Next question for semi-geeky me. To leave a decent Ice Cream Sandwich -- the ASUS-approved version -- on the tablet or to venture into the unknown world of rooting and custom Jelly Bean ROMs? Sheesh. I tried to resist. But... just... could... NOT...

Did I mention I didn't have a Windows PC to make rooting a bit easier? That left me with the need to do it via an iMac. I've gone and lost that url, but think it is one of the pages on this site.

From there, how do I pick a ROM? All sorts of threads, all of 'em messy (at least to the noob in the room). So I noted EOS got a lot of uptalk and went that route. After more than few false starts (manually typing in command lines kept introducing unintentional HUMAN ERROR into the mix) I got lift-off.

Did I mention my wife owns a Nexus 7 (one of the nicest little bits of hardware/software I know of... no no, the Nexus, not her!! She's stellar, but I digress).

In light of the Nexus' buttery feel, I was hoping for similar from my Asus Transformer. Well, not quite. Maybe the dual vs quad core chip has something to do with that. But I do very much like my larger (10") screen vs. her 7" and the keyboard... and Jelly Bean seems pretty darn nice even on a dual core tegra chip. Still hoping for a little more butter as the EOS nightly people do their thing. (I thank and thank them!!)

Oh. EOS answered my next problem before I got to it. How to overclock? Right in the setup I can do it.... tried all sorts of settings there and ended up with backing it off to only 1.2 (from 1.0) ghz. Not a game-player, just a blogger. Downloaded all my favorite apps -- kindle reader, YouVersion Bible, Skype, and so on. Oh, and of course some board games so I can play 'em with my Dearling.

Last night EOS suddenly updates my gapps. Hmmm. No big change, except maybe things are slightly snappier?

Questions I still have:

I installed an older (I think) booter/recovery module (or whatever the heck it is called). "Team Rogue" "Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0 (CWM-Based Recovery v5.0.2.8)"

This recovery does not let me write to my external SD card (or even read from it) but will write / read to a USB stick if I mount it of course via their menu. My question:

Is this the newest and best boot/recovery tool? And if not, how and to what tool should I upgrade/switch?

Really enjoying my toy.

:cool:
