Why would they do that?

They didn't release the 4.1.2... I will be surprised if we ever get another Odin tar.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 running S3Rx MJ2 bootloader MJB modem and it is smooth

Pretty sure Sprint releases the first update, followed by T-Mobile...then AT&T and finally Verizon. It's been that way for all devices. Ex.: the 4.3 update.

WOW, ANOTHER TOY TO PLAY WITH. OH MY GOD. WHEN DO WE GET IT? WHEN DO WE GET IT? HURRY UP AT&T. I CANNOT WAIT. OH MY GOD! WHEN DO WE GET IT? WHEN DO WE GET IT?

Look, if we ever get this update, can at least some of you hold off for a little bit and see what the update does to some of the other phones first (does it lock the bootloader, does it make battery life worse, what apps might have issues, is there a way to go back in case something goes wrong) and not make the same mistake that so many of us make with these phones by rushing to these toys, oops, updates impatiently the very first day that they come out. I call these updates toys because with the exception of the phones that have major issues, all these updates are around here is just something new to play with.

BUT WHAT IF I WANT TO, SHORTYDOGGG?

Forget it. I see that I won't get through to everybody because we are all different. Carry on everyone.

Lol, I won't be taking it. I'm on S3Rx 3.0. I'll wait til enewman17 and loserskater do their magic. I'm in no rush to have "the next big thing". Got it on my n7 LTE and I'm not too impressed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Don't know for sure but it sounds like you upgraded to 4.3 and regret it. If that's the case, it's nobody's fault but your own. Nobody forces anyone to flash anything here. It's up to YOU to do your research before flashing anything on YOUR device. People rush to play with these so called toys because it's a hobby of theirs, and without them, we wouldn't have some of the great things we do have for our devices. Don't get upset because people want to play with these toys, be grateful. Just make sure you take responsibility for your device. Because it's nobody else's responsibility but your own.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shortydoggg:
No, I'm still on 4.1.2, and don't regret it one bit.

You misunderstood the post. The capital letters represent the people (not including the devs) who run to the toys first and then research later, while the small letters represent myself. Look at it again.

All it's doing (if you read correctly between the lines) is asking more of the people to take your time and do some research first, see how it's effecting others, before jumping too quickly to play with these new toys, sorry updates, the first day (and then finding out that the bootloader is locked for example), like so many of us will do around here on this phone and others. Don't repeat the same mistake on the first day of an update that happens on nearly every phone, including this one when new toy, update, comes out. But unfortunately, it's still going to happen.

OH FORGET YOU SHORTYDOGGG. I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOR MY NEW TOY TO ARRIVE. I NEED SOMETHING NEW ON MY PHONE TO PLAY WITH. I'LL WORRY ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED, OR MY FAVORITE APPS CRASHING AFTER I GET THAT UPDATE ON MY PHONE. YEA, I COULD WAIT FOR THE DEVS OR AT LEAST ONE OF THE OTHER USERS TO TRY IT FIRST AND SEE THE PROS AND CONS, BUT SKIP THAT, HOW LONG BEFORE THE UPDATE?

KitKat is not the new Jelly Bean, its Android getting refined and close as ever to the original Android motto(or whatever yu wanna call it) clean, fast, more secure, just works on every phone(512mb of ram) to be exact ........point is

4.4 is Android 2.0 (in my opinion) all the features rolled upto one, secure as ever, minimalistic/clean and just what we need from Google to Samsung to keep it intact from going rogue with their "Add-ons" (not to be confused with the "Anti-samsung movement that has being going on, on every android site")

ilove Samsung, am not entitled to one company or brand and am opened to anything that comes along so keep the trolls off from XDA. :laugh:

Awaiting new locked knox bootloader. yay.

I'd give it at least 2-3 weeks after it comes out to touch it unless you're a developer. Just to avoid any issues like what came up with the 4.3 ota because since we still have nothing but the ota its pretty doubtful anything will be different with this,

IMO Samsung is ruining Android from a custom development point of view. This will be my last Samsung phone until they go back to what made them successful.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
The ability of custom development is not what made them successful (just the one of the phones of choice for development). With the volume they sell and considering how small the custom dev and user communities are in comparison, it points elsewhere. The features (motion, awesome camera app, etc) have been the main selling points.

Sent from my awesome phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I know custom development isn't what made them successful. But it certainly helped. I know many people who came from iPhone to the early samsung phones because of it. Innovation and doing things that nobody else did with top line specs made them successful. Now they just copy ideas from all the other phone manufacturers. It's all opinion in the end tho, and I hate where samsung is going.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vbetts:
It's a double edged sword sadly, I would argue that their stance on development didn't really help them too much at all but that's a different argument.

I like but dislike where Samsung is going. Knox is a brilliant security platform that is amazing for the corporate market, I love it in that respect so our admins that have smart phones has their data safe.(Media would do anything to get some of that data here too!)

On the other hand, Knox proves to be a wall in custom development. I love flashing roms on my phone, on my s3 I usually stay on one build until it needs updated, but on my backup phone my Evo 3d, I flash something new to it every day almost!

When it comes down to it though, I think I'll have to go with Knox over development though. There are plenty of other devices with good development out there, and this serves good for the company I work for.

I also talked my boss into upgrading my work s3 to the s5 when it comes out..:D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperMidgetProductions:
I can agree with alot of that but where they messed up was not making knox optional. For a very long time a feel end user paid for a piece of hardware to use as they wish. Custom roms and software arevin my opinion the best part of android. I can setup any configuration i want that suits me and run with it. To cripple what i once considered one of the best lines of phones by handcuffing the user is a poor move.

After many years of only using samsung phones i believe this S3 will be my last one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lthary:
Ok! Samsung phone remains one of the best . Is not entirely Samsung fault when is coming to locking dawn the Galaxy, I think a big role is playing ATT and others. If you go in Europe or Asia the samsung phone are unlock and the developers can take full advantage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
A lot of the reason for Knox is for business. With BB pretty much finished, Samsung is merely trying to capitalize on business sales. The bootloader lockdown is something that can pretty much be blamed to the carriers.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sander_r:
Hi,

First of all, I'm quite a noob, so thanks for your consideration.

I just installed the Bulletproof (version 13.0) kernel on my International HTC One, using TWRP Recovery, to disable write protection.

However, write protection is still active, as I can't edit files in the system folder of my phone.

I guess Bulletproof is installed properly, as the 'Sweep2Wake' function is working.

So, my question is: How do I disable this write protection now I'm in a custom kernel?

I am rooted, using Bulletproof kernel and Android Revolution HD 51.0

Thanks in advance,

Sander
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- ARHD 51.0 kernel already has w/p disabled

2- so you didnt need bulletproof, except if you want the added mods

therefore

3- i guess you're trying to use a file explorer (ES maybe) to edit files? not only do you need to enable root access, you also need to "mount" /system as r/w access, eg:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaminashi:
Hey everyone,

Since we all hate the stock supplied nexus 5 cable in some way I'm sure we all seek out other alternatives.

I switched to the USB cable from my nexus 7 as it doesn't wiggle around while plugged in and generally fits better than the stock cable.

However I've noticed that it is leaving very faint grooves in the soft touch plastic part of my usb port opening, right where the two top "teeth" are.

Has anyone found a USB that doesn't leave any physical marks on the phone or is it just something we have to live with?

Any input is appreciated
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
For me the stock cable works nicely. I however noticed that it was getting weak by the computer attachment.

that happens when we turn it 90 degrees angle. I'm using this as of now ans is very strong. http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-2...55&sr=8-4&keywords=high+speed+micro+usb+cable

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidc89:
Shortly after I took the phone for a dip (in not very deep water), the display went kaput — at least for several hours. It lit up just long enough to indicate that I had power, but I couldn't actually keep the display on and use it.

Roughly a day later, the screen came alive again, but the phone was still exhibiting finicky behavior, presumably because of water damage. The touch-screen was messed up and the device acted as if headphones were plugged in when they weren't. If this were my actual phone, I'd return to the store for a replacement.

I just got the S4 Active and thought I am not planning to take the phone for a long underwater activities, I am concerned that I am getting a phone that have a very weak water resistant feature.

Not sure if this is because the reviewer didn't "properly" close the battery cover / USB port, but I have seen S4 Active review and Samsung Event videos where the phone was submerged in water for a long time and it still works.

PS: Have ANYONE tried to dunk their phone in the water for testing?

Even Kingsoft Office is better then this and is FREE - i have it, also bought via sale id quess for 0,25 - 2 years ago. This open my casual XLS files much longer - it really takes about 1minute to open 2MB file, when Ksoft or Poalris have it opened in 3 secs, moving in a file stutters most - UI is horrible, very little set up options. Did not used it too much but for that price doesnt hurt. Check HANCOM Office - Hancom really made HUUUUUGE step forward on how office suite on Android can look like. Also is much quicker - fluid handling within document, zoom in/out fluently....

In my opinion is build in Poalris or even free KingSoft are much better options.

Nice day for all!

Attention!

I have Unlocked Bootloader, so i dont know what happen on Locked Bootloaders!!!

This "Method" i have tested on my SXTX, please dont try it on SXTX LB or on Sony Xperia T.

I'm not responsible of sploit devices etc. Everything what you do, you doing only on your own risk!!!

Follow the instruction carefully and everything gonna be allright

I changed the kernel flashing process from QuickIMG to Flashtool (Big thanks to ihasacat for testing)​

Some photos:

Requirements:

Unlocked Bootloader

Installed Flashtool

Installed QuickIMG (it can work using cmd (comand prompt))

Installed fastboot drivers

Installation process (UB):

- download the .ftf firmware and put it into the Flashtool/firmware folder

- download the kernel, extract the .elf file and put it into the Flashtool/firmwares

1. Copy into the device sdcard UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip and Deodex_for_SXTX_JB4.3_official.zip.

2. Start Flastool on your PC, flash device-> flashmode, select the SXTX USA Official JB4.3 firmware and press Flash.

3. Wait until its done and settle up your phone.

4. Turn off the phone, then connect the phone to PC while holding volume UP. Flashtool should show your SXTX is connected via Fastboot

5. On Flashtool, click Flash -> Flash using Fastboot, then on the window that pops up, click "select kernel to flash" (by DooMLoRD), then look for the kernel.elf you extracted earlier to Flashtool/firmwares folder

6. Reconect your SXTX and turn on, when you will see violet (rose) notification light, immediatley press Volume Up + button.

7. In recovery flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip (i dont did any wipes)

8. Reboot and settle up your phone.

9. Reboot and enter to recovery, wipe dalvik cache then flash Deodex_for_SXTX_JB4.3_official.zip (Big thanks to sera18) original thread

Also:

Step 4-5 with using QuickIMG

- download the kernel, extract the .elf file and put it into the QuickIMG/images folder

- Power of your phone, start QuickIMG.exe, select the LT29i_4.3_kernel_CWM kernel, connect your SXTX to PC with holding Volume Up + button (blue notification light on the device) (you will see "conected" in QuickIMG) and press Flash button in QuickIMG, then wait!!! (for me it was long a bit to see "done")

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
From what I understand, even though rooting in itself takes advantage of exploits in Android, I don't see why Google would mark it as a virus; downloading the files individually seems to work and don't get flagged as a virus.

On the other hand, don't see why the OP doesn't link to Chainfire's original hosted file here, or even attach the file directly here in the forum, instead of linking it to a Google Drive account.
