[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] newguy0804:
Thanks guys. I will look it up just clarify. If I have anything installed on my phone data etc it will not be lost right? Also im on FL24. The only reason I didn't do this sooner is that I have heard way back when this phone 1st came out it was very easy to brick. Is that true? How hard is the process? The only reason im doing this is to get a bit more out of my Moga controller.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Those issues are cleared up now. The only sure fire way to brick is to flash an international kernel or ROM to the phone. So just stay in here because you are in the right place. Depending on the method used to root, you will not lose data. If you use a rooted restore, make sure it is a nodata restore, that will keep data as is. There are also methods to root without doing a restore. Qbking77 will have everything you need on that through his YouTube channel and there are also tutorials here on the forums.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gobaers:
simple instructions

The easiest way to find what you're looking for is to search under the proper forum. For you, it would be the 'Android Development' forum.

In there, you'll find the thread corresponding to the list of Stock ROMs. These included rooted ROMs:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1903252

Go to the one you like, I'd recommend the GB27 version here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191954

that will take you to the site maintained by SexTape:

http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=166

You'll want the and 'rooted' version. Since you already have a Jellybean ROM (official FL24) you can use the 'nodata' version (it preserves your phone's settings) but it's highly recommended to start with a clean slate (the 'restore' version).

All four options are 'one-click' executables. Just get your phone into ODIN mode, install the Samsung USB drivers, start the executable, plug in the USB cable to computer (IN THIS ORDER. DO NOT PLUG IN BEFORE THIS POINT), and click start. easy as 1-2-3-4-5-6-7.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
FL24 is not JellyBean, it is ICS.

He needs to root on ICS first then use Titanium Backup to save all his apps. Do not save system data. Then he can upgrade to the official JB, GB27 and restore all the apps.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aaronbokc:
Well somethign is up with best buy..

Yesterday they told me that without a doubt I would be able to pick up my preorder on April 27th.

Now today I have called 2 stores and both claim that they have no idea when they will be able fulfill preorders.

On the website the White GS4 is still listed as april 27th... the black one no longer lists a date.

Also interesting .. the AT&T had said april 26th. It now lists both white and black as april 27th release.

Anyone have any concrete information from Best buy?
[Galaxy S 4 General] land2634:
A friend of mine is the GM at a Best Buy Mobile here in San Angelo, TX, and they have no idea when they're getting these in. Usually their drop shipments come on Wednesday, but there were no S4 devices in that shipment today.
[Galaxy S 4 General] c-low18:
This guy is correct.... the preorder holds a phone for you.... But does not guarantee you one on the launch date. Depends on when they get them, how many they get and how many preordered before you (the exact same model of you that is).
[Galaxy S 4 General] aaronbokc:
Just in the last hour or so ... the AT&T versions have been changed from

Release Date: Saturday, April 27, 2013

to

Release Date: Release date not yet announced

The Sprint white GS4 still is listed for April 27th... the black GS4 was changed yesterday to have no information about release date.

It looks like the black one might be harder to come by then the white one at this point.
[Galaxy S 4 General] rushless:
I preordered a VZW version, but if there is no 32gb option, I will cancel and stay with my 32gb GS3. There is not THAT much difference to lose all my app storage space. My EA, Gameloft, emulators and media play fine. Still would like the S4, but the 9gb free on the 16gb version is too low for me. Just a few gb free on my S3 as it is.

No matter what order i set the today screen items to appear in, they rearrange themselves in a random order! Its driving me crazy and i've tried every combination of order setting but to no avail. does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ezzkht:
Its happens to me also!!!!!

I noticed that they are well arranged once you put the CALENDAR item above the middle of the screen! When I try to move the CALENDAR item below that, all items get cluttered!

This is really weird!!!!!

I guess its a bug in Windows 2003, or maybe the system doesn't like the calendar to be shown at the bottom part of screen, cause maybe they want all appointments to be shown without the need of scrolling (when alot of items are shown on the today screen)!!! maybe, i donno!! :?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rabia:
i'de like to have such an option, look into the registry in the today items, theirs something called Order, its resposible of their apearance on today screen regardless to the continuty it takes less amount & puts it on top so if you have 4 8 34 22 then they will look like 4 8 22 34, so just arrange them by giving them differant values from lower to higher, please tell me if this worked

If you want to flash IT then you flash stock roms via Odin .

I want to ask something that may sound offensive, but is not intended to be..

How do people who don't have any technical knowledge get these test phones? Are you part of a test program, or have you just purchased them somewhere?

If it's the former, how do you get on the test panel?

Also, how does Tizen run? You have a test o/s and are presumably meant to test it.. why on earth would you want to install Android? Surely you have your own daily phone as well as these test models?

To answer the question: flash any ROM from here as long as you are completely sure it's a i9300.

You can't have Android and Tizen side by side, and your Tizen which gives all the value to the phone will be gone if you flash Android. Not sure if a nandroid would work

What technical details do you know about this phone? You appear to assume it's a stock S3 with Tizen on it, are you 100% certain it's got all the exact same hardware? You may hack Android onto it only to discover it has a small difference that stops android running properly.

I have NO idea, if Tizen can dump easily self all memory areas... or maybe Tools like RDX_5.3.exe can dump something usefull... in Upload mode...

Again, I have NO Tizen device to check self something... so nothing to compare with Retail Android Versions of Tizen testdevices...

I have held in my hand, the Tizen Version of the s3, and studied, tried to flash firmware, and even talked to the people who provided the units, basically they are test units, and missing quite a few bits of important firmware to make it run on android, it can, however with a lot of work, run android, I have been told, you will need to use a Samsung Anyway Jig and Internal Samsung firmware, they are test units provided by people in Korea (but also been available in other areas)

The best thing to do (If you are allowed to do) If you dont want the unit, is to sell on Ebay.

They are incredibly rare. But dont try to flash s3 firmware without the correct hardware to do it.

I do not have a handset to test with, as the Tizen Phone was sent back to Samsung, it has a weird bootloader
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfree:
I need the other direction...

I9300 Retail or I9300X (Live Demo Unit) to Tizen RD-PQ Firmware... :D

Steps could be similar... in theory.

Depend on luck and f. Knox secured Bootloader Version... and other funny protections...

So idea 1 is play with ODIN...

1.A

Edit Odin.exe

Search for text string ODIN (and maybe LOKE too)

Odin send Command to handset... ODIN

Handset answer with LOKE...

1.B

Tizen has String THOR... and Tizen answer with ROHT instead with LOKE...

Idea, edit Odin.exe to match needed Strings...

I have tested, but only with S8500 and I9000 SBL tweaking...

1.C

Not forget important PIT file...

For Tizen:

Tizen_GPT_Ver08.pit

For I9300 Firmware you have to be sure 16 GB or 32 GB eMMC..

2.

If Odin tweaking fails or is bul.sh... idea...

Read this...

SD Card...

Only not clear enough is, why uboot...

3.

If my theory is correct. And RD-PQ is I9300X Live Demo Unit with many missing Hardware parts...

So no GPS + Call under Android too...

Anyway. After MWC next week we see maybe more RD-PQ on ebay... :D

Btw.

I have never seen RD-PQ yet on ebay...
