Make sure which Android version you are using.

Gingerbread (2.3.4)? Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4)? Or even Jelly Bean (4.1)?

Then check this thread:

This is a post about all the ROMs and Kernels available for your phone.

Read the first posts of the provided links carefully, there you will find OC specs.

I recommend Nightelf and Suave for ICS and Galaxian and Nightelf for Gingerbread. Just test them.

Good luck and have fun!

I have 6 Asus Transformers, 1 prime, 3, TF300T, and 2 Infinity, all of them for Office purposes, mine is an Infinity, of course. But there is something I don't understand since the first day I got the Inifnity's, I have never received an OTA notification, not even brand new, the rest of them as soon as I turned it on and set the initiail stuff there was an OTA waiting for me.

Well, mine was rooted but the other one is not, but again, no OTA in any of them, the weird part is my friend got a new Inifnity last week and as soon as he turned it on he got his OTA update, and he just called me that have the .18 notification and again, none of mine have.

Anyone have some information to share with me about all this?, Also, I just finished updating to JB and keeping my root last week, it wasn't easy, downloading the dlpkg file and doing the stuff, is this the only way to keep my root again, or do you think I can download Asus website's file and just update and then been able to use Rootkeeper to restore root?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
OTA Rootkeeper works only for OTA upgrades (whether downloaded automatically or manually makes no difference). Installing the complete firmware from the Asus website wipes everything, so any su backup cannot survive this procedure.

If you unlocked the bootloader of your tablet, you will not receive OTAs. If you only rooted without unlocking, then the entry for your device in Asus' database is missing or messed up - many here have reported similar problems.
[Asus Transformer TF700] erasat:
Thanks, my Infinity is rooted but the Bootloader is still locked, but the other Infinity it's stock, not even Rooted, and none of the 2 are receiving the OTA Notifications.

So, any idea if somebody already have an update file?, I have looked on Google but the dlpkgfile files available are for the previous version .16 not for the .18.

Thanks.

Hello,

I have just gotten a MetroPCS Samsung Galaxy S3

I have gone and watched videos from wwjoshdew and followed these links

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746680

But those are for Sprint/Verizon/AT&T/Tmo

So I was wondering does anyone know if the Sprint version will work on MetroPCS S3's or

does it need a 'new image' or what?

Since I can not ask this noob question I am asking it here.

If it could be forwarded to someone who is a developer and such I would appreciate it.

I just got the phone 10/20/12 and the "offical" release is 10/22/12 on www.metropcs.com but the corporate stores (like here in Miami) had it available on 10/19/12.

So, since it's new I understand that part of the question but if anyone does know, please let me know.:fingers-crossed:

You should be able to root your phone using the tool I have attached it is based on the DebugFSroot method :fingers-crossed:. Make sure to install the drivers for your phone first before attempting to use this tool, after you download it unzip the file to your desktop, plug your phone into your computer, then execute the bat file and follow the instructions (Note this is for Windows only).

Here is a screen shot of About on my phone

**This is the screen shot from the phone.*** <<- would not let me post a outside link since I just read on this forum and not post (since I am no developer, just 3 posts so far)

Have to cut/paste this link I guess

picasaweb.google.com/114859325136619356966/MetroPCSGalaxyS3

So again, I just ask do you think this tool would work on this.

I am hesitant because this is not like the other phones in which they have been Gingerbread or my wife's which is 4.0 but it is a LG Motion (MetroPCS) and the root was simple (just followed a youtube video) and the phone was $149.

This one, for me, was $500, so I don't want to get a $500 brick and then try to return/exchange it.

So I am cautious when it comes to doing this.

Thanks,

I just used this method on my metropcs S3 and it worked. Thanks, all I need now is a way to unlock the phone to use it with any SIM and I'm good to go.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
To unlock the phone you will need a SIM unlock code you can find many different places to purchase a SIM unlock code, and I believe if your account is in good standing with Metro and your nice to them they might be able to unlock it for you. Also here is a link to Clockworkmod 6.0.1.5 for the MetroPCS Galaxy S3. Enjoy my friend :).

Is your IMEI number still intact? Because if it has been altered it will effect your ability to use mobile data. Also I would suggest re-flashing the stock ROM and seeing if that fixes your data connection issue.

The current DebugFSroot method no longer works with the official Jellybean 4.1.2 update. Samsung has just started pushing the update onto MetroPCS phones.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Round Peg:
I do not want to install/flash ClockworkMod Recovery onto my phone.

I want to use Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root to root my phone via ODIN, as CF-Auto-Root keeps the stock recovery and does not install CWM. However, SCH-R530M (the MetroPCS variant) is not listed Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root repository website. SCH-R530U is, but the "U" variant belongs to a different carrier, US Cellular. Typically, the Verizon variant is used to substitute for MetroPCS.

Does anyone know which CF-Auto-Root file should I use to root SCH-R530M?

Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root files repository: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garwynn:
Metro and US Cellular use the same architecture and was what was used to get TA and MOdin support. So would use that for CF Root also.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Round Peg:
Thanks.

Does the Android version matter for CF-Auto-Root? autoroot.chainfire.eu does not specify an Android version for any of its files, so I suppose the version not should matter. Mine is 4.1.2 Jellybean.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I believe that the Android version does not matter for the CF-Auto-Root because of the way the procedure works it's not dependent on an exploit other vulnerability in a particular version of Android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Round Peg:
Okay, so I'm going to apply CF-Auto-Root to MetroPCS SCH-R530M with the file for US Cellular SCH-R530U.

The MetroPCS SCH-R530M has just been updated to 4 1.2 Jellybean, and the old exploit rooting method no longer works. Currently the only way to root SCH-R530M 4 1.2 is to flash a stock modded with root + CWM, but that would prevent future OTA updates. That is why I've been looking for an alternative method to root without flashing in CWM.

I don't think anyone else has tried to auto root SCH-R530M with the file for SCH-R530U yet. Hope it works and won't brick my phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Another suggestion if the CF-Auto-Root method doesn't work is to use the root method that install's CWMR and then when there is an OTA update, wait for that build to be rooted and then install the already rooted latest OTA update build.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Round Peg:
Thanks, but I'd like to keep the option of being able to receive OTA updates in the future. I don't do flashing, modding or theming, so I don't need custom recovery anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahdehasan:
does anyone have an estimate on when there will be a root on the stock update for metropcs?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Round Peg:
There are a few rooting methods available for 4.1.2, all of them use ODIN to flash ROMs that already have root, and all of them flash custom recovery (CWN or TWRP) to replace stock recovery - which would make prevent future OTA updates.

As far as I know, the only exception is to use Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root to use ODIN to flash root -and only root - into ROM and nothing else. CF-Auto- Root keeps the stock recovery and does not install a custom recovery. (If you have MetroPCS SGS3 variant SCH-R530M, you can use the CF-Auto-Root package for the US Cellular variant SCH-R530U as a substitute.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
This will likely be whenever a developer can get there hands on the stock ROM and then has the time to inject Superuser.apk and the SU binary into it.

So did the cf auto root package for us celular work for your metro pcs galaxy s3 sch-r530m 4.1.2 because I also updated my galaxy s3 from metro pcs and lost my root, so I wanted to know if it work so that I can root my phone also?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Round Peg:
Yes, the CF-Auto-Root package for US Cellular worked for my MetroPCS Samsung Galaxy S3.

Then I used Triangle Away to reset the flash counter to 0.

Unfortunately, the Device Status is now "modified". I have been trying to change it back to "Normal" without much success.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuky629:
Thank you I will try that method also. And does this method still allow you to get updates from the carrier of the phone or do you have to flash ROMs In to the phone to get the latest version of android?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
If you use CF-Auto Root method you can still receive updates from the carrier (OTA) as this method roots the phone without installing a custom recovery that would prevent OTA updates from functioning properly. Keep in mind any updates from the carrier will very likely break root.

I found out in another forum that after using the CF-Auto-Root file for the US Cellular to flash root into a MetroPCS SGS3 phone, I should use ODIN to flash the MetroPCS version of stock recovery back into the phone.

MetroPCS SGS3 stock recovery file - use ODIN: http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/63332356/file.html

Please note: flashing the stock recovery would factory-reset your phone, but the root access would remain, as would whatever you move into the system folder or ROM.

Apparently US Cellular SGS3 and MetroPCS SGS3 have slight different variants of the same stock recovery.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
It's generally not a good idea to flash other carriers ROM's to your phone even if they share very similar hardware unless you absolutely know what your doing. If your looking for a good ROM for the MetroPCS Galaxy S3 I would recommend taking a look at either stable Cyanogenmod 10 or if your want to test out the latest cutting edge developments (Good, but stability is not guaranteed) the latest CM 10.1 nightly. What kinds of android development are you interested in learning about, rooting, app development, building ROM's? If your interpreted in learning more about rooting I would recommend browsing XDA and seeing all the interesting things you do with Root, including apps and more. If your interested in building apps I would recommend taking a look at Google's official Android training lessons. If building ROM's if what your interested in I would recommend taking a look at Google's official guide to building Android from Source (AOSP). Let me know if you still have any questions :).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuky629:
I wouldn't recommend installing any rom into a metro pcs gs3, the reason that I say this its because I recently installed cyanogenmod 10 and 10.1 nightly into my metro pcs gs3 and it had too many bugs and it also freezes your phone too much non of the 2 versions are working properly on metro pcs gs3. and as far as I know it is not a good idea to install roms from another carrier because the process can hard brick your phone.
