Lol samsung just cares about their international market, and tells us to go to hell. I don't think they will confirm the s3 getting 5.0 just so we can buy the s4 they probably see us as idiots who buy everything new . if they do it will be really late confirming.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SeaFractor:
Hey,

Samsung keeps talking about how the experience is more important than the software, just think that regardless if it's never updated again that Samsung was right about the software not being important..

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tengtengvn:
Blame it on the carrier, not SS in this case. If you like updates, buy international version.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Samsung doesn't release updates frequently because of the hardware differences in the US versions... so we only get major updates.

EDIT: I would be severely surprised if the GS III US variants don't get 5.0
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zhanhangsky:
Oh wait

I don't think I see T999 :( only for international?

Or is that possible have custom rom for that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
No custom Roms from international. Cannot be ported as they have hardware differences.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergonomicz:
We won't see the same level of support as the International version.

If US customers saw *ANYTHING* beyond 4.2.2 I'd be shocked.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mojorisin7178:
That is kinda true And absolutely true of other cell makers like HTC, MOTO, LG and so on. But Samsung started with the s3 and took the note2 a step further. They basically said the hell with this and The note 2 is the same phone international or us. The only real difference is software. Of course there is the gsm and cdma variants but other than that once the international one gets 5.0 the us one can get it very easily. I think it will be the same with this phone. As long as the international one gets it we will. And it wont take as long. Now that's not to say Samsung or tmo will do it but CM will definitely do it. Especially since I think he is the proud owner of a tmo sgs3 I think. So rest assured you will see 5.0 and probably more on this device.

I think the direction that Samsung is trying to go is a good one and I hope that others will soon follow. To the point where there will be two different models the gsm\lte and the cdma\lte US world wide doesn't matter Just the carriers bloat. Even nicer would be if Google could some how stop the fragmentation and get all to produce vanilla android. Now that's probably a few years off yet if at all but it would be great. No more waiting for carriers to get the updates and all that. Just Google updates android and sends it out to all capable handsets done. Paradise.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
True problem is I don't think Google cares much about how slow other carriers/manufacturers get update hence why they are always releasing new updqte every so often. The biggest advantage buying a phone from Google is that they obviously get everything first and sooner, they know that. Also I'm not sure how easily well get 5.0 ported from international rom from what I have read we can't really port their ROMs etc as they are really different inside . different processor, partitions, gpu that's why you can't flash international ROMs unless you want a brick, we'll get some unofficial ROMs but those are never as stable as when you build straight from source.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] chocodough:
I dunno if any of you frequent the AT&T forums, but their online tech guys have said that AT&T is working on a WM2003 upgrade for their XDA. (sx56)

Of course he didn't give any timetable, but he did say they are working on it. I hope it doesn't take too much longer. :) Also he didn't mention if it would be a free upgrade or not.

Bummer we can't get out hands on a beta since we have Tmobile's beta.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] erickbryce:
I could be wrong but you are probably ref: posts by Lazarus. He is very active in forums and has been some for sometime back with ericsson devices. He then got the AT&T gig.

You already have the beta for AT&T it is ROM 4.xx.11 not 4.xx.16. You will notice in earlier posts that the BIN files were named VS_xxxx and AWS_xxx

VS stands for VoiceStream the former US name for T-Mobile before the German Acq.

AWS stands for AT&T Wireless Service.

So you have it :D 8) and make sure to post your good & bad exp with it so to help these developers tweak the ROMs...if they are watching this forum :wink:

Cheers!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] chocodough:
Actually no, the VS and AWS did not mean Voice Stream and AT&T. They meant one has the Radio stack included and one did not. They were still both TMobile ROMS.

And no I do mot mean Lazarus, I was referring to people who work for AT&T that work their forums.

So in essence, no there is no AT&T Beto out right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oldtimehobo:
Hello!

While im not entirely new to rooting and can typically find an answer myself, i have found myself in a predicament that i cannot seem to get out of. When i was on the latest build for AOKP and CM 10.1 my phone would sometimes say i had an unknown number or omething along the lines of 000-000-0016. same with the imei and mei. i fixed the imei and mei using this guide rootzwiki.com/topic/32397-tutorial-imei-backup-nv-with-qpst-us-variants/ but for whatever reason i cant send messages now or make phone calls.....even when i reverted back to a stock ICS rom using odin 3.07.... i tried updating my phone but still no luck. as soon as i send a message, it says it fails to send. I tried wiping the cache, dalvik cache, data, and factory resetting it. i need input

I bought a galaxy s3 sgh i747 AT&T is unlocked and it works on any sim.

my native language Arabic is not included.

tried several ways to change csc with no luck

tried csc codes and app and local settings does not include Arabic

can i flash i9300 roms?

how to change csc code to supporting Arabic code?

how to add Arabic to rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bruce Lee:
I know only know one answer to one of your questions. For the i9300 ROMS.... DO NOT FLASH AT ALL!!!!!! You will brick your phone. For the arabic questions, cm10 ROMS might have it as a language if that's what you mean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Camryman:
I have to use an 8 digit alphanumeric passcode due to my company's security requirements. This unlocking is a pain. However, locking the phone (to prevent butt dialing, etc) is nice to have.

On the Motorola DROID you could lock the phone with the power button, but wouldn't be prompted for the PIN unless you had the screen off for over 29 minutes (or whatever time up to 29 minutes that you'd set). If you woke the phone before 29 minutes, you wouldn't get the PIN prompt... You would only swipe to wake. This is what I want on the Note 2 but can't find a way to do it.

In other words, if I wake the phone within 29 minutes, I want the phone to lock, but I only want to swipe to unlock. I don't want the Pin prompt within 29 mins.

Doesn't seem like this combo is possible on the Note 2. I seem to be able to lock with the Pin instantly or no lock at all until you hit the set time threshold with the screen off.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
I have mine set up similar to how you describe, but without the swipe to unlock in the 29 minute window (not sure that is possible)...go Settings > Lockscreen. Choose Screen Lock with PIN and make sure the Lock Automatically with power key is unchecked. Then go into Lock Automatically and choose 30 min. Now you should be able to turn the screen off with the power button and wake it up anytime within 30 min without the PIN. Only caveat is that for some reason missed calls lock the screen regardless of how long it has been, but that is a small issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vortmax:
I don't think there's a way to 'layer' the lock screens with an admin exchange account forcing a PIN...would be nice though. I didn't realize the 'missed call bug'...interesting and probably explains why my phone occasionally locks within the 30 minute timeout.
[Oppo Find 5] drvsbsm:
Just thought I would let everyone know that the Oppo Find 5 now says that it is shipping in 1 week, it is listed on their website www.oppostyle.com. That means mine should be coming soon, Since I ordered almost 7 days ago. This is very good news for people waiting on their phone to arrive. Come on already :D

Just thought I would let everyone know to expect to get your device soon. Now that it is shipping in 1 week I though to make this delivery thread, I don't think we have such a thread yet. So when you get your device if you have time please answer the following questions.

1. When did you order your device?

2. When did you receive it?

3. Where you are located?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] z00mflight:
I have two t989's. The black one was good, while the white one had the rotation issue. Turning it one way caused it to flip in the opposite direction, etc. Flashing rotation fixes didn't help.

The fix was to install cm9 and go in to settings > gyroscope, and then to calibrate. After that, I could install AOKP and it would work without any further modifications.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorewin:
I had a similar issue. RSD Lite (https sites google com [slash] site [slash] motosbf [slash] rsdlite) is your first port of call, using the appropriate image from http sbf droid-developers org [slash] smi [slash] list.php .

However, that only partially worked for me. It failed first on the logo - so I extracted the zip from droid-devlopers, and edited the XML to remove the complete line <step operation="flash" partition="motoboot" filename="motoboot" ...

After that it would flash up to and including the radio, but then fail on the system_signed ( as it's over 100MB).

To get around that I used the enhanced fastboot from mattlgrof's package http xdaforums.com [slash] showthread.php?t=1936512, and manually compted the final steps in the xml file in the extracted zip folder:

fastboot flash system system_signed

fastboot flash cdrom cdrom_signed

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

Then a

fastboot reboot

And all was well - back to stock. Upgraded from there, and flashed CWM and then rooted. Hope this helps :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tunie:
Okay, before any of the regular contributors here say something nasty to me for asking a question that's been asked and answered, I want you to know that I have spent 2 days reading through -all- xda forums that might even -remotely- relate to my problem, without finding any answers. I also spent several hours searching all the common Android forums elsewhere, as well as, silly sites like Yahoo answers, etc., but have not been able to find the answer to my question. I'm the first to admit that reading the exorbitant amount of information in here causes my brain to short circuit due to all the numbers, versions, etc. It's like reading tax code; use C1.4.6 unless you've submitted b45.1. In that case, use d16.9, unless you've also filed a p32 in the last 2 years...if so, then....blah blah blah.

I love all you cell phone OS gurus and am quite envious of your ability to effortlessly wade through the technology involved in these phones. I wish, wholeheartedly, that I didn't have to ask any questions here because I know how irritated many of you become over people like me asking stupid questions, but I have no where else to turn. Believe me, if I could go elsewhere, I would, for your sake.

I was running 2.3.4, rooted, stock ROM. Froze the system with TB Pro to prevent the upgrade to 2.3.6. Unfroze it. Upgraded. Decided to unroot so I could sell my phone in favor of another. Ran Odin. Ran SuperOneClick. Ahhh...and there's the problem. SOC doesn't work with 2.3.6. So now, I don't know what to do. My phone is half rooted. I can't unroot and I can't reroot. I get the triangle, but TB Pro doesn't work because I'm not rooted, well. sort of not rooted. I guess I'm a little rooted. I don't know what to do next mainly because, every time I find what I think is a solution, I find another source that says, "DON'T DO IT! YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PHONE!" So, here I am, hoping someone will point me in the right direction without chastising me for asking a stupid question. I checked the solution in here and it's great, except, and I quote "Not working for KK6 2.3.6"

Thanks for any help....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
So, what you need to do at this point is flash back to stock 2.3.4 using the instructions in the How to prepare your phone ... thread which is a sticky in the general section of this I777 forum. Since you were stock before, and evidently didn't flash any custom firmware, you should be fine flashing the stock distribution with Odin or Heimdall, or using the Odin one-click downloader.

First enter 3e recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset, then do the Odin or Heimdall flash. The thread has instructions to clear your personal data as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tunie:
Now, you know, I read that post along with all the stickies, about how to return the phone to stock, but I couldn't find any mention of whether or not it worked with a half rooted phone. I didn't want to be one of those people who blindly followed directions not intended for her situation, only to wind up bricking my phone or in a constant boot loop.

Thank you for not criticizing me for my apparent stupidity. I do my best.

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
You can't have a "half rooted" phone, and it wouldn't matter at all anyway since you're going to be booting into download mode in order to flash to stock.

Sent from my Zanpakuto using Getsuga Tensho!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
First of all:

Understand what 'ROOT' is.

IT IS ADMINISTRATOR ACCESS TO YOUR DEVICE, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.

everything for 'root' resides in the OS under the /system partition...which means when you load a new/stock rom on it, everything in /system gets wiped...

root has nothing to do with recovery mode or download mode. you cant be 'half-rooted'. you either have administrator access or you dont, plain and simple.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tunie:
When I rooted so very long ago, I used SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3 that I downloaded with su-3.0-efgh-signed. At the time, I didn't understand what this was. I only understood that this would root my phone. I didn't want to flash any custom ROM's because, to this day, I really don't understand what a ROM is. Yes, I've read about it. Still don't get it. So, did I flash a custom ROM? As far as I knew, all I did was root so I could use TBPro to backup and freeze, and use LBE to keep my information as private as possible.

<edit> So I've just reread many of your posts. You really are great at explaining this stuff and I thank you for that. It seems, from what I've read, that I can just do a factory reset and the phone should go back to its original state, with 2.3.4. Is that correct?

Thank you, again. I swear I'll be out of everyone's hair in here as soon as is humanly possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tunie:
Thank yes, I understood what root was which is why I did it. I just didn't understand the mechanics of getting there. Perhaps it's the same thing that made pre-med chemistry so difficult for me in college. I could do the work, but didn't get the big picture, so I couldn't build a knowledge base. Anyway, I see the triangle and GT I9100 at boot up, yet I cannot access TB Pro as it states I'm not rooted. So, I guess I did unroot, but didn't go all the way because 2.3.6 doesn't play nice with popular root/unroot apps. Thanks for explaining.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
The triangle has nothing to do with root. It only means you flashed a kernel using Odin.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
No. When you do a wipe data/factory reset, this wipes the data partition but does not touch the system partition. So you will still have whatever firmware you started with, which in your case I believe is 2.3.6, but it will be put back to like it was when it was first installed.

That's why I recommended that you perform a wipe data/factory reset, and then flash the 2.3.4 stock firmware. The factory reset is so that when the new 2.3.4 stock firmware boots up, there will be no problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tunie:
Well thank you. I give up. Really, I do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tunie:
Well, I actually understand that. Thank you. My concern now is whether or not I flashed a custom ROM. Clockworkmod appears to be a custom ROM, no? If it isn't, I know what to do, thanks to you. If it is a custom ROM, I don't know what to do next.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
clockwork mod is NOT a custom ROM. clockwork mod is RECOVERY and on this device it is compiled WITH the kernel.

YOU HAVE A CUSTOM/MODIFIED KERNEL

I really dont understand why you dont just follow creepyncrawly's advice and tutorials...you are making this out WAAAAAY harder than it really is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tunie:
Just want to insure that I've relayed all the necessary information, correctly. I guess I have. Thank you and I'm sorry I took anyone's time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
That dreaded yellow triangle show up when you flash a custom (non-stock) kernel. When you flash a stock kernel, it will go away. So... if you flash back to stock like I suggested, it will go away.

I was just wandering if anyone has tried this before I attempt this. Would it be possible to use terminal emulator to flash a kernel without having to hook it up to a computer?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
How do you figure? We use fastboot.exe to flash kernels.

Reboot fastboot flash boot img. On my incredible 2, you could enter the hboot and flash img files like entering it from the computer, it did it automatically as long as it was named properly, you can enter fastboot mode on this phone by holding search when powering on, could you not use terminal emulator to instruct it to bout into fastboot mode and flash file?
