[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] implodingspace:
Okay, so I really am not a complete noob lol, BUT I've heard that the jelly bean update made certain methods unusable, and frankly I have a policy of being well read and informed before screwing around with my phones. I was well versed with odin, recovery, flashing whatever i could get my hands on lol. But this is a new phone and I want to be educated, so could someone please walk me through some things. first of all which method works for a new jelly bean, I noticed a thread with a one click stock with root and a deodex option. is this where I want to be. How do I grab a custom recovery. Is it similar to the epic where once i have recovery and root i can just flash appropriate mods roms,kernels from recovery? Is there a good walk through some place that's relevant to the new jelly bean update. I was all excited to jump in, i downloaded the latest odin and drivers and then started seeing some posts about older methods causing soft bricks on jelly bean, and being humility is a good policy I thoght I'd come here, chill out for a night and follow the lead of those wise than I haha!

I can understand it,so no need to baby me, but i would love for some thorough reading links, places with good info. I would ordinarily spend half the night searching ever last link, and did look a little and find how to get into download mode, but frankly I'm sick and suffering with some MS like issues they are trying to nail down and my eyes go in and out of focus at times, dizzy, and already have a spinal cord being hollowed out from the inside out and have ALS symptoms (i have syringomyelia), so not to whine whine, it is what it is, but i just wanted to say I'm not trying to be lazy as I've seen since back on sdx days with the moment, people popping in, not doing their homework and *****ing and whining for hand holding lol, it's just not as easy as it used to be to stay up and just learn myself when my eyes refuse to keep going and I have the kiddies and too many classes. So I'm hoping a generous person(s) could help guide me a little?? I would really appreciate it. I've always had a slide phone I liked being able to edit from recovery from the keyboard, create symbolic links, move thing etc. It just felt like I had more control over the phone, so this is my first attempt at a purely touch phone, but really 2 years on the epic and I was starting to not even care that it was running like junk i was so bored. I had gone through every MTD rom and just bored haha so here I am guy and gals...guide me wise yodas! :) and an extra thanks to all the work I saw people involved in. It truly blows my mind, the most i ever did was modify a malfunctioning apps2sd mod for the moment to make it work, by following the logic from the original development and fixing the permissions in the link...haha and that's rather pathetic to what i see being done all over, so hats off, buy ya a red bull, beer or whatever :) many thanks! let the S3 games begin! where are good info posts to aquaint me, what is this flash count thing all about? what methods for jelly bean, recovery, etc...and many thanks. I really love these communities and I can't tell you how hard i try to get my i phone friends on over to here haha...you guys are a great bunch!
