[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Well as far as I know, you can't root your phone using "update.zip" if your phone is running Gingerbread.. you would either have to flash a rooted kernel or a rooted firmware using Odin... but you don't have to root it if you just want to upgrade to Jellybean.. just download the Indian Jellybean firmware (DULP8) and flash it with Odin or with Heimdall, then root it with the zip file - but for all that you need a Windows PC...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *SAIYEN*:
My galaxy y also runs on gingerbread and i rooted it with that update.zip file.... Am pretty sure thats possible with galaxy s advance as well(theres not much difference b/w galaxy y and s advance software wise) ... All my techno frnds told me that only xda can solve my problem.....

Edit: i have a macbook pro, so is it possible to run odin on it?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaaan:
Looks like you know better than the developers here.!!

Why not provide the file to us ?

Edit : Odin is Windows Only..
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
No dude as far as I know, a Galaxy S Advance running Gingerbread can't be rooted using the usual "update.zip" method (but I maybe wrong)... But it works when you upgrade to Jellybean... So why not directly upgrade to Jellybean?

And no, Odin is for Windows users only... you should use Heimdall if you are using a Mac... But I think Heimdall also works for Ubuntu and Windows as well.... Any ways here's the link to Heimdall... For more info, checkout this guide....

Or if you have a copy of Windows with you right now then you can use Bootcamp too right?

EDIT: Thanks for backing up Shaaan :p
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *SAIYEN*:
Thx for the help dude, ill try heimdall..

I dont wnna upgrade to jellybean bcoz i dont want lag in my phone.

Guys i was referring to this method:

stoneboytony.blogspot.com/2013/03/samsung-universal-gingerbread-root.html

Can any1 check if this will work for s advance? I dont wnna brick my phone coz i dont have a windows system...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Not all jellybean firmwares are laggy or buggy... the Indian firmware (DULP8) is quite smooth.. and if you flash a custom kernel like CoCore E 7.0 then your phone's performance will increase drastically... :good:

And in my opinion, Jellybean is far better than Gingerbread - but it consumes are bit more RAM and Battery than Gingerbread...

Its always better to follow the instructions mentioned on XDA.. Since these are likely to be safe and tested.... Stuffs mentioned on webpages aren't always safe or tested... Plus I did not see "i9070" in the list of compatible devices...

Hello

Do i loose my warranty if i flash my kernel on JB because of lag problems
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
[MENTION=5383017]balajinaik123[/MENTION]: Yes. Rooting your phone and flashing (installing) anything that is not made my Samsung will void your warranty... But there's one more thing.. If your phone is still under warranty period and if you wish to claim it then simply Factory Reset your phone and/or flash Samsung's 4.1.2 firmware with Odin.. Doing that will remove Root Access or any Custom kernel you have installed.. Also make sure to keep your Binary Counter at Zero...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiningb:
I did root using this method:

http://supergeekforum.org/how-to-ro...dvance-i9070-gingerbread-2-3-6-all-firmwares/

Since my firmware was LD1 already, I could make the process in a easy way

Just read carefully and you'll be fine!!

Should I update to 4.3? Can I still unlock it and root it?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TaintedByte:
Yes, nexus devices do not attempt to prevent unlocking or rooting. By the way, you're already on 4.3 out of the box, its just a newer build version that its asking to update to.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tom_callahan:
2 updates once you boot it the first time, install both as they contain some fixes for various things. As above poster said, you don't have to worry about locked bootloader on Nexus device, they remain open.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] WarEagleUS:
So I ordered 2 cases from I-blason on July 18, 2013. I looked at a few cases and had purchased me a white body glove but my wife was wanting new cases so I checked out the transformer hybrid that one member of this forum was raving about. It was cheap compared to UAG (I'm getting those) and she loved the pink version. I placed an order that day for the Pink Transformer Hybrid and Blue Armadillo case for our phones. The next day the items were shipped and a USPS tracking number given. I was supposed to receive the items this past Monday the 22 but delivery was delayed a day until Tuesday. What I received was just my Blue Armadillo case in the plasticky shipping wrap and nothing else. I've emailed the company several times and found their phone number through their Amazon store. They've continuously ignored my emails and voice mails (when their voice mail isn't full and they haven't emptied them) with nary a word in over a week. I've filed a complaint with the Atlanta BBB and believe I'll dispute the charges with my bank and VISA. This is shoddy customer service and a real headache for me and my wife. Anyone else experience something like this? I am just writing this for a warning for the future and to see if anyone else has had to deal with this.

Respectfully
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] someguyatx:
I ordered a tablet case from this company on Amazon and it broke within several days. In this case I just returned to Amazon for refund. Hopefully you can get your issue resolved.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] WarEagleUS:
I hope so as well although I bought directly from them. Calling several times a day and emailing to no avail. I may need to drive to their HQ lol.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wraithevolution:
Have you tried taking it up with Amazon? They're usually really good about backing up everything sold there. I too ordered a case from iBlason and it took forever to get my case. They lied about the date it shipped, the date they actually mailed it was a full week after they said they sent it. I had no intention of buying from them again and your experience only re-affirms this.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] WarEagleUS:
Believe it or not they actuality responded to my second Facebook post that I made 8 hours ago. That's a positive sign lol
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] WarEagleUS:
I bought them from them directly.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] TweetyBear:
i bought a case from them on amazon on monday and got it today already. it's always better to order from amazon IMO. i returned the case though since i didn't like the texture on it too much and i had no need for holster. but it wasn't a bad case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] WarEagleUS:
Thanks. The Transformer looks good plus my wife loves the pink. I'll be getting us a few cases for variety lol. UAG looks good plus a few others.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] peterparker42:
www.i-Blason.com Bad Customer Service...

I had the same issue also. I had purchased a cover for my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone and it took them forever to respond back to my emails and my status would never update to as being shipped and stayed at preparing shipment for 2 weeks. I live in Canada and usually when an item is coming from the US it usually takes 5-8 business days standard and 2 weeks? I sent them an email again and asked about the order? They gave me no explanation and no apologies regarding the order and just responded to my request to cancel the order. What a waste of 2 weeks and was looking forward to getting my cover and will stick with Otterbox and Amazon.ca for my next order, atleast they are reliable!

Please do not quote the OP. It clutters up the thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gravitywell:
How is quoting someone's post that you're referring to directly, cluttering up a post?

This isn't a dining room table, or a coffee table. There isn't any clutter when it's text and comments directly responding to, or relating to someone else's post.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] graydiggy:
Any mod will tell you he same thing I said. If you just make your comment without quoting the entire OP, it is implied that you're talking to the OP or making a general statement or observation. There is no need to quote the entire thing. Quoting is normally used for direct response to something in the thread after the OP. If the OP contains multiple topics, quote what is relevant to your response.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I can understand not wanting people to quote HUGE posts or multiple pictures.

But this is just goofy. C'mon, Man.

Q: I don't feel like setting my Execution Policy to Unrestricted - is there another option?

A: Neither do I, so yes there is. It's possible to set the policy to RemoteSigned instead, in which case you can run unsigned scripts only if they're created locally. This also means that you have to convert my remote script to a local script. This is pretty easy, as all you have to do is open the script file in a text editor, copy all the text, create a new blank text file locally and paste the entire contents into this new file. Now you can delete my remote file, and rename the local file to android-system-scripts.ps1 - the script file is now a locally created file and can be run with the policy set to RemoteSigned.
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
So it finally happened. Here is a summary:

http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/07/29/59757.htm

So, if I get my whole $1.10 from this class action lawsuit and Straight Talk either goes away or starts charging a lot more (just hypothetically), what MVNO is everyone on Straight Talk going to with their Nexus 4 while still staying with AT&T (I need their good phone coverage). Unfortunately it costs $15 more, but I guess I would have to sign up with gophone, as it has good reviews. AIO is not available in my area yet.

EDIT: And here is the actual court filing if you are really bored:

It was about time someone took action!

I just left ST (T-Mobile) last month. They disabled my data after only a week or two into the month with less than 600mb of use.

Currently on T-Mobile $30 plan while managing to stay under 100 minutes, but it's not as easy as it seemed.
[Nexus 4 General] jawmail:
I just changed the wife's phone from ST AT&T to GOPhone. Seems to be a good change. She did say she has had 2 or 3 dropped calls recently which never happened w/ ST ?
[Nexus 4 General] 3dupunk:
It's only TEN cents a minute after that initial 100 minutes. I use my phone like I want and the highest I've ever paid was $50, 43 really because 7 bucks goes directly towards my insurance. I love the plan, it works for me!

[Nexus 4 General] plasticarmyman:
my problem is that when i run out of minutes people can't call me...so i wait until i have like 2 minutes left and then use Vonage and GV with GrooveIP...it's a decent workaround i guess..

Also a decent way to use the T-Mo plan with 100 minutes is to install the T-Mo visual voicemail app...that way you don't use your minutes calling voicemail...which does happen...i had to yell at them for that
[Nexus 4 General] myturbo1:
I didn't know you could get that app for the nexus ?
[Nexus 4 General] nixie2121:
yes. love that app
[Nexus 4 General] SurferNerd6987:
I've had the Straight Talk ATT plan since November of last year, and I have no complaints. I use about 2-3gb/month, and I buy my plans 6 months at a time off eBay, breaks down to $36/m for unlimited everything..I hope they don't sink, because I love it.
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
If they go under, you will have to file your own class action law suit to get the remaining value of your 6 month refill back! In all seriousness, I have seen posts where they shut people off for the remaining length of their refill for breaking the so-called TOS.
[Nexus 4 General] Johmama:
I'm currently on GoPhone and it's a pretty good service. I would probably recommend it to a friend. I just checked again to see if AIO was available in my area and it looks like it is so I might switch to that next month to try it out. There really isn't much difference, I would save $5/mo (except I have to pay for the SIM card for $10), and I would get throttled after 2Gb instead of being charged per Mb after that cap. Still, I am prepaid so I like exploring my options.

I just wish I had T-Mobile service in my area. I'd switch to that in a heartbeat, at least to try it.
[Nexus 4 General] PincheKeith:
Wait...people cant call you once you pass 100 minutes? Or are you just cheap and unwilling to put extra money in your account?
[Nexus 4 General] idheitmann:
I just put an extra 10 bucks on my account in case I go over. Screen incoming calls, text whenever possible, of course.

The other thing that may help some of y'all is to go into a TMo store and ask the most techy looking person in there to remove your voicemail service. They will look at you strange, but they can do it.

Then just use GV.

I'm also hoping that all this rumor and posturing surrounding TMo's strategy is going to produce some pretty nice options in the future for LTE google phones.
[Nexus 4 General] plasticarmyman:
People can't call after I go over 100 minutes...the only way to put more minutes is to do a full refill, $30, and it only gives you 100 more minutes....so its cheaper to just keep 2 minutes on the account and never answer it and then return calls with GrooveIP or Vonage..
[Nexus 4 General] noobletsausecakebbq:
U guys suck i have wind mobile and i get unlimited call text +data for 30 bucks
[Nexus 4 General] biggiestuff:
just buy the refill cards. They come in many denominations. just get a 10 dollar one and add it to your account. After you go over your 100 minutes it will just charge you 10 cents a minute until your pre-pay account is empty.
[Nexus 4 General] plasticarmyman:
I never thought of that...good idea...but still costs more than Vonage or GV :P it'd be good to have as a buffer though...

p.s. why do i always accidentally reply to the e-mails...even though it warns me not to....please tell me i'm not the only one...please?
[Nexus 4 General] biggiestuff:
yeah i used to use groove IP because i was cheap but i only go over by 50-100 minutes so essentially still under or around 40 bucks. sure beats the hell out of..WHAT? HUH? Say that again?, I hear an echo...F you! *CLICK*
[Nexus 4 General] plasticarmyman:
yeah i went over this month because i am dealing with a lot of phone calls due to being in a car accident on my bicycle...so that refill idea is definitely a good option
[Nexus 4 General] TacticalDesire:
If they go under I'll just switch to GoPhone. Last I checked it was $60 for unlimited minutes, texting and 2gb of LTE (HSPA+ for my Nexus). T Mobile is junk in my area. The only place where you even really stand a chance of solid 4G is Detroit. Most of the state is 2G.
[Nexus 4 General] biggiestuff:
You're the only one. :P
[Nexus 4 General] donwhall70:
I keep my $30 plan topped off at $150 with auto refill that way if something catastrophic happens, I have a good 4-5 months of service banked. I don't think I have ever gone over $40 in one month.
[Nexus 4 General] mascondante:
So what happened with this? Did the conviction go through?
[Nexus 4 General] tlopez1973:
Well I was with straight talk for about a year and never have problem with data but i lost my Sim cards by accident and there on more att Sim card available at the time so I moved on to at&t and 60 doller plan which is great because I by pins codes on eBay for about 52 bucks

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
It appears there is a new CM on the way... And it appeared it wasn't available for the Note 2... And that made me disappointed, so I set out to put that right.

4.3 is a small update from 4.2. Unfortunately, Google also decided to change almost everything about filesystem mounting. And Samsung exynos devices are a hotchpotch of everything...

Today, xplodwild and I carried out a war of attrition against the nasty Samsung devices. Firstly, there remains a battle-scar in the form of graphics, where we had to disable the ability of the device to screenshot itself. You'll see this in the lack of thumbnails for your long-press-home task switcher. #Blame-Samsung

Storage was a nightmare, but I have finally beaten it into submission. It should now work. Nicely. And properly. At least for now.

Because open source is wonderful, a VERY messy device tree (commits need squashed etc) - https://github.com/pulser/android_device_samsung_n7100/

I suggest a wipe before flashing, but I have tested from 4.2.2 and should be OK actually, maybe some apps will cry, but that's not my problem :)

Link: http://goo.im/devs/pulser/N7100/CM/cm-10.2-20130810-UNOFFICIAL-n7100.zip

Pretty much everything is working and tested - you shouldn't have any issues getting it to boot. The other version posted appears it may have issues booting, but I was not aware of its existence until just now. Actually, seems there's no link in the other thread, give this a shot, and see if it helps you. There's a lot of issues on Exynos devices when doing any kind of update... Sneeze and it might explode!

Thanks,

Trying now and will report.

BTW (off-topic but... I believe necessary when it comes to AOSP and Exynos) When I click on your githup link the Audio recording fix is on top of the list for 6 months ago, which reminds me; we have never got the chance to see CM 10.1 recording audio properly on videos or sound record apps (not saying it is mono but the sound is terrible actually).. For now it seems the only thing that prevents me (and some others I guess) from using any AOSP ROM as a daily and "fully functional" driver is this problem. Any chance that we can see 10.2 have proper audio recording? Since our voice is recorded just fine on calls we can say the mic is working as it should on both at earspeaker and the loudspeaker. So, there is a software which can use the mics properly and I -with all my heart and never-ending hope- believe this software could be also used for good sounded video recording or help us not to shout too much for Google Now :)

Thanks for reading. And the ROM :)
