[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CxRod:
hello, how are you? I finally get my S3 mini and I'm going to download it a ROM. But i dont know what is a CSC code and for what is! what happen if the ROM dont has my CSC Code? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
connect to kies and see the final 3 letter (product code) under firmware information.

doesnt matter if your csc has changed. (some csc receive update before others)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobstone:
Hi everyone. Im real good with tech but i cant find anyone having asked...

I want to go buy the S4 and I will definitely root it (following the posted instructions on here) but before i do, will i be able to instal OTA updates after and if not, is there another way id be able to install updates? I used Voodoo rootkeeper on my tablet after rooting and the 1st ota went fine and kept root, the 2nd ota killed the root even while using Voodoo...

Please, any any all responses asap appreciated. I want to get the phone asap as i am tired of my rooted Bionic.

Thank all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Just wait for a rooted stock ROM based on the OTA to be made by a dev. You never NEED to take an OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobstone:
Thanks but im not sure what you mean. I have no interest in loading custom roms nor over-screwing around with the phone. Do you mean wait for another root process or wait for a download for an ota update?

Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobstone:
Im guessing you mean a rom will be released again after the ota is out with the ota integrated in it... That process makes me kind of nervous as i need my phone for work as well as personal and cant risk screwing up the phone or erasing data eta...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
There is pretty much always someone that releases the stock ROM flashable in a custom recovery so you can have a rooted stock ROM. Look at the dev beanstownm106 ROM in the development section. It is basically the stock ROM rooted with some very minor tweaks, but flashable with a custom recovery like TWRP.

BUT...there is almost never anything you can't do with basically any ROM that you can do with the stock ROM. So you really don't need the stock ROM...some people just prefer it. For my old Thunderbolt, it was pretty well known that for a long time there was a custom ROM, very similar to the stock ROM, that was more stable than stock (SkyRaider Zeus).

Another BUT: if you need Good for work, prepare for a constant fight with root detection. And you will want to back up your data often. I have a BB for work that I leave untouched (its not mine).

One more thing...the Loki workaround has its advantages...the bootloader is still locked and untouched, so it would be pretty hard to brick the device because you can get back into download mode and use odin to flash back to factory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobstone:
Whats the loki workaround? Also, im dont want to be doing any kind of flashing... I just simply want to root the s4 (which i now have) and be able to run ota updates or if not, download the ota and install the update manually. And if i get an ota, if it will kill root, even if i run voodoo.

Please, if someone could, let us all know if ota wont run or will kill root on say the s3 or s4 and if downloadable updates are another option... without flashing anything or going to crazy.

Thanks again in advance.

Hello. I want to ask you for one thing. My phone provider is O2 Slovakia (O2 SK). So in my phone there will by show this: O2 SK. But here in Slovakia O2 has small network, so they use network from T-Mobile Slovakia as "national roaming". So this mode can change Carrier label automaticly from O2 SK to T-mobile SK? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Adi Aisiteru Reborn:
No,

if it is show on your notification drawer is "O2-SK"

so is on status bar,

this mod will show the same as whatever carrier label/ provider shown on the notification drawer.

Guys, have you guys watched this video?

Some say that MIUI has all these features. I'm not really sure if we have OFFICIAL MIUI ROM for galaxy nexus, because the last time I used MIUI was when I still got my Galaxy S2.

Also, if there's an official MIUI ROM for galaxy nexus, can I still use my NOVA launcher Pro?

Well, I don't know if this helps much, but I've rooted and disabled quite a few background apps. I currently have a little over a gig of RAM free.

Rooting should be the same process, flash cwm or twrp via odin, then rebbot into recovery and flash superuser.

Until we know more details about the phone and its partition layout, thats probably the safest way. I wouldnt use any automated tools yet, just to be safe.

Don't know if it will help, but that comand was run before rooting, also I don't know if it will change but tmo hasn't officially rolled out LTE in my market, you might be able to figure it out if you find out the band of LTE that metro pcs uses as tmo has stated they will be using the same band since they aquired metro and they were already using a specific band that tmo would continue to use that band.

But getting back to the OP, I don't think your device has been given a forum yet as everyone is frantically rooting and dev'ng the s4. Watch the news page and chainfires tweeter thing for a heads up. It'll happen for you I'm sure. It can't be THAT different as far as dev'ng goes because Santa IS real.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
I was wondering the same thing. The release was quiet and sure well get more and more questions about this variant. I'm sure it probably wont get a new thread but who knows. I wonder if my phone was to get messed up in the future and I warrantied, if they send me an lte version.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tower_gilead:
Lets try it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Mines running flawless right now. I'd rather not. And we don't have lte here in Oregon yet so I'd rather not lol. Plus they are replacing the 1st geb with the lte so JD probably be best to do when their stock of the sght999 is completely out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmarranzino:
I was on the phone last night with TMOE..... I was asking about the LTE version as well ( I really thought it was just BS) .... I asked the guy why is it that when I bought my phone just in Jan the Titanium version I was told it would get the LTE as it was the newer version..HAHA....

So I drove this guy crazy and he first said to me....Well we could buy back your phone at the recovery price. I said NO that is BS.... I said what about a replacement straight up or for the cost of replacement under warranty... He said you will need to go into the Corp store that you got your phone at.

So I said in other words this is all just BS and mirrors....I said NO I want some answers I just paid off my phone for a sweet price of around $600.00 and it is only 4 months old and Tmobile has now come up with an LTE model at a lower price. So in the end he stated a supervisor would call me back. I have not heard a word..LOL

In the end I am wondering surely the modem (radio) is different. I am curious about the rest will it be compatible with our version currently is what I would like to know. I will probably wind up with the S4 or wait on the Note 3...Tmobile like the rest is just out to screw all they can.

I am also thinking I may just stop bye the store tomorrow when it should be busy with the Holiday and ask some questions also.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
I guess the biggest question is if we can just plainly flash the LTE modem and it'll either A.) work or B.) FAIL and brick. I do agree with your frustration as tmobile has done this before just like other carriers. They are mainly at fault because they will always be behind new tech advances and cannot predict how they will deliver those tech within those devices to us. We get shafted because tech is improving much quicker than devices can actually incorp that new tech. Sometimes carriers are okay with released an "updated" device with new tech than and getting rid of their original releases. Sucks that this has happened but now that tmo is actually rolling out LTE throughought, it might not be a big issue in the future, unless other carriers start going with 5g or w/e then tmo will be behind again. Im lucky enough where i am around a wifi signal whereever i go, and id rather have better reception than better data, even if others will reply and say that LTE will improve voice somehow. I think that you should at least go to the store. they might look at you like "what??" but its better to try than not do anything. also, if youve been with them a while you could use your tenure to give you some leeway. I just found out i have 8 months till my device is paid off. by then hopefully there is a new nexus with hopefully sd card support, or something better. kind of want to get off this samsung bandwagon. the sgs4 didnt entice me as to me, without the gimmicks, seems like the same phone as mine.

Lol, monkeypaws I originally posted it in general and the moderator moved it to q&a

I agree, as you can see I'm fairly new to the forums, so how can we do that where everyone who is already involved is notified that I moved it, and what's your suggestion to the thread tag, name etc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
So I have done a little digging into the interwebs, and have found a possible reason why there is no ro.modem.board prop. I found out that the MSM8960 board has the LTE radio on board, integrated whatever you would like to call it, they are claiming it is the first LTE radio of its kind, don't know what kind of issues this is going to cause for devs but it may work out to be easier as in theory that should make the modem version simply a part of the firmware for the device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Im pretty sure what you are looking for is ril.modem.board.

RIL = Radio Interface Layer

Most of your build properties for the radio will begin with that.

Your radio is on the MSM8960 as you pointed out.

Your baseband/modem/build is UVAMB7.

Dont know if that helps anyone but figured id throw it out there anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
Cool, I'm not a pro dev, just fragmented dev knowledge, so I was posting based on what was asked of me, since it seems tmo released the device to me prematurely, thought I might be able to contribute to you real devs that make it happen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Maybe change the title of the thread and make it a request help thread and change the op to have the proper stuff to help devs instead of them having to read 4 pages of info. Then maybe it'll get proper attention and help. Post attempts at what you have done and tried.

I will be moving this thread to development soon, I will have all files needed to develop for this device available shortly
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
So what does that mean in terms of the sght999. Will we be able to flash with the new baseband?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
at this point and development it is too early to tell however it's not looking good for T999 users, after looking at some specs from the board manufacturer, the modem is a new first of its kind LTE embedded modem it does not show a modem version because the modem wether software or hardware is part of the manufacturers chipset.it could still go either way
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I highly doubt T999 and T999L will be interchangeable with regards to the modems. I will still host the LTE modems in my thread, but dont flash em unless you have the T999L.

As usual though we will be able to build roms based on the /system.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Thanks. In figured. I just don't have the tech knowhow that most of you do . but I do have the smarts to know not to flash modems unless I ask. :).

Could we possibly flash these files on an ATT S3? The Rom and Radio?? There were some TMO leaked files available for the ATT S3 to enable 1700 band http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771021 but they're old and sometimes unstable. I was hoping the T999L modem/software was compatible.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
I would be very leary about flashing files from the tmo S3LTE to the att version, unless the att version is using the msm8960 board with the S4 chipset, as it is possible the att versions LTE RADIO is not embedded in the chipset/Board if its not the same board you will possibly HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE BEYOND JIGGING, OR Odin flashing, possibly even beyond a jtag service flash.
