If you look at the link carefully, though, it's on the global site, not the us one. However, the phone does seem to support some us networks like tmobile and att, since their particular frequencies are listed as compatible in the specs.

So my family is about to switch to AT&T from Boost Mobile. And I think I am getting a Galaxy S3 from them. And I would love to root and install CM in it. But I have been hearing reports of AT&T's locked bootloader policy and such. Should I worry about it for the S3? Or does it still have an unlocked bootloader? If it doesn't, should. I unlock it first, then root? Or root first? Please reply, and if you do, thanks,

if your phone firmware is higher then 4.1.2 then

check if your phone is locked or not Dial *#7465625# into your phone, a screen will pop up telling you what is on.

if Network lock is ON that mean your phone is locked and for now there is no way to unlock your phone for free (you have to pay for unlocking)

if your phone firmware version is 4.1.2 or lower then that then

go this link and find how to unlock your phone for free http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529200
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
The bootloader issues should not be insurmountable. Being a new phone I expect it will come with the 4.3 version of Jelly Bean installed. This will be the first thing to check once you have the phone. If it has 4.3, it will have Knox installed and this will need to be turned off to install a custom ROM. All I have seen regarding removing Knox is either after or at the same time you are rooting. To root, the CF-Auto-Root method works for many. Both the CF-Auto-Root and a second method are here This thread also links to a script which will remove Knox, if needed.

You will need to decide which version of CM you wish to install, probably 10.2 or 11. At this time the 4.3 bootloader will work with both. I would recommend reading about all of this, and having a fair understanding, before doing anything to your phone. I won't hurt to run it on stock for a week or two.

Some things to bear in mind: The phone may come with the 4.1.2 version of Jelly Bean, but I doubt it. If it does you will have to update the bootloader before proceeding, more reading because there is an option involved - the official 4.3 bootloader (MJB) or the leaked 4.3 bootloader (MJ2). There is a bit of a chance the phone could come with Android 4.4, KitKat. It all depends on the timing of when you get your phone, when AT&T rolls out the update, and if the store personnel update the phone giving that 4.4 is available. If it does come with 4.4, DO NOT change anything until those on here that do the good things for our phones understand how it behaves.

Remember all of the warnings about anything you do being your responsibility.

IS there any developer making this ROM for Ancora??:eek:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jan.bornholdt@gmail.com:
Hello experts,

i recently tried to update my SGS3 (AT&T) with the latest CM11. The update would fail with status 7, because (i assume) my bootloader was outdated. So i found a bootloader zip (I747UCUEMJB) which i could flash through CWM that corrected the error. Subsequently my radios (Wifi/LTE) wouldn't work anymore - i figured out that this was due to the modem version, which i was able to flash as well. Now everything seems to be working properly on the phone and i was able to install the latest CM11 nightly, but when i connect the USB to my computer it won't recoginize the phone anymore. Is there another piece that i have to flash manually in order to get the USB working again? Any idea what I did wrong?

Much appreciated!

Problem Solved - USB Debugging Re-enabled

I figured it out myself. Turns out that the last update disabled USB debugging in developer options. I just re-enabled the USB debugging option and can access the phone from my PC again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcbxda:
Hi there. most of the threads about this here revolves about the steps of getting it working and not much on the reasoning.

My main question is if I format my SD card as EXT[2,3,4] it is available early during boot?

I am under the impression that with the basic linux knowledge i can change my init scripts to mount my app install area on the sd card and have more space.

Am i right on this? or having ext[2,3,4] on the SD for a completely different purpose?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jodo901:
Hey everyone, awesome site! Yep, first post. :cyclops:

I'm completely new to Android though I have hacked a few things and understand the importance of making absolutely sure you know the procedures and make backups in case things get fubar. I've been digging through the posts quite a bit and of course see that opinions on use, stability, etc seem to vary a bit. What I'd like some kind feedback on is (as a nub) am I better off starting out using CM10 and then when I'm ready I can move on to CM11 or has CM11 been developed well enough to just start there. Also wondering how stable is "stable" on both. I'm much more interested in having a good and stable experience than a few extra bells and whistles until the kinks are worked out. I'm running a stock Nook HD+ now so it's all an upgrade in any case. Thanks in advance for all constructive feedback. ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metropolitans:
I went straight from rooted stock on my HD to CM 11 so I don't know how CM 10 ROMs are. But the CM 11 builds I've used from verygreen's thread since early January have been rock solid on my HD. Just 1 spontaneous reboot in the entire 2 months -- when granting superuser access to an app. That's it. Wi-fi, bluetooth, web browsing, music and video playback are all working fine. Swiping between screens is smooth. I did a clean install before I put CM 11 on, and I think that makes a difference vs. those who did dirty installs.

If you have an HD, CM 11 will let you use full screen mode which is very valuable for a 7" screen. I don't think you will get that with a CM 10 build which is based on JB. If you have an HD+, the gain in screen space that Kit Kat gives you is not as critical.

If you go to CM 10 first, you might have to reinstall everything for a clean install before jumping to CM 11. So you would ultimately save a lot of time by going straight to CM 11.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishman09:
roms :)

hey Jodo901 :good:

my experience was that i purchased a HD+ and did loads of reading both prior to and after purchase. I chose the nook for a number of reasons (price vs performance) but also the awesome input from the guys here on XDA around custom roms.

For years I've always looked to get my devices updated with custom roms but always like to have a proper noob guide lol. The best place to start for me on the HD+ is this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317500

It explains the process step by step and is idiot proof (i did it!!) I have read numerous threads about which rom to put on the HD+ but settled on the stable 10.1.3 rom. i considered the 10.2 rom but the 10.2 had mixed reviews on the HD+ and the consensus was that 10.1.3 was a stable, mature and smooth rom. I am watching the CM 11 releases closely but it remains a work in progress, although from posters on the thread it seems that it is running almost perfectly. I will switch to CM 11 once verygreen posts a "stable" release - plus you can flash the roms as you wish, so can start with the stable 10.1.3 and then reflash when you're more confident or feel that the CM11 rom is more mature.

My advice would be go for 10.1.3 and follow the guide above. I didn't think the stock rom was that bad, but the 10.1.3 is night and day imho, its smooth, repsonsive and allows lots of funky tweaks. I've had this rom on my HD+ for a few days and am very pleased :fingers-crossed:

all the best with your choice fella

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jodo901:
Thanks for the quick responses guys! You've given me a bit more to consider and look into. That was one of the threads I bookmarked yesterday so thanks for pointing out it's validity. A further question that now comes to mind from what you both have said is how much of a hardware difference is there and is that something that can make a performance difference? Guess I'm still gonna be info diving for a bit tonight after work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenG:
KitKat does improve on performance over Jelly Bean, but it's not something that will affect your daily use. I'm currently using CM 10.1.3 (stable) on a Nook HD+ and HD. I'm considering upgrading the HD to CM 10.2.1, as there is a stable build out. I will definitely upgrade to KitKat/CM11 when a stable build is released.

Personally, I only install stable builds. I don't want the hassle of encountering issues with nightlies. I find that CM10.1.3 is extremely stable, and I have not had any problems with it; although battery life is reduced from the original stock ROM, but that's nothing to be worried about. In conclusion, no issues with the CM10.1.3 stable build.

As a note, I also believe the TRIM issue has been fixed with the CM10.2.1 stable too on the Nook HD+; so CM10.2.1 should be fine too, but I haven't tried it yet.

All the best.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishman09:
roms :)

hey jodo

i'm not sure what you mean by hardware difference? if you mean the effectiveness of each rom on the HD+ i suppose its a matter of preference and through trial and error in trying the roms available. It seems that CM11 is considered the faster of the roms available but as said previously this is an on-going rom development and not considered stable.

I considered what i was going to use my HD+ for, which in my case was surfing and reading books/comics and getting the best return on the stupidly low price vs decent spec and awesome screen. I didn't buy it to game as 1. its hardly a powerhouse for gaming and 2. i dislike mobile gaming and prefer PS and XBOX for that sorta thing. My priorities were smoothness, stability, customisation and battery life which i feel 10.1.3 provides, but others may disagree lol.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jodo901:
Thanks again for the input guys. :good:

I finally have a some time to dig in on the forums a little and maybe get to the rooting later. I'm running very light on the apps at this point. Just some online stuff, ebooks, comics, etc. Mostly looking for more control and customization.

[MENTION=5746480]fishman09[/MENTION] - I thought perhaps there were hardware differences depending on the manufacture date of the Nook HD+ unit but I haven't seen anything like that so I assume it's a non issue. I know this can be something that makes a difference when hacking older game systems (Xbox, PSP, etc)

**********EDIT**********

Thanks again to everyone who gave me their 2 cents on my way into all this fun custom Android stuff on my Nook HD+!!

I have now successfully installed 10.2.1 and so far its working well and looks great.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barth2:
Another data point: I was in same position as you. Decided to go for a cm11 nightly build (this was back in _Jan). It ran reasonably well, but I wondered if 10.2 would be more stable or better with battery life. It felt about the same, with couple missing things, notably no hiding of soft buttons. So I've now gone back to cm11, a march nightly build. I think it is as good as a $120 tablet is going to get :). So I'm pretty happy and staying. I even enabled ART runtime and so far everything has run except asphalt 8.

Just make sure you format and wipe everything after doing a backup during your install process.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jodo901:
My Conclusion...or the time being.

Well after about 3 or 4 days of normal usage with CM 10.2.1 I have decided to go back to the stock version of the Nook.The difference in battery drain did not outweigh the bonuses of the upgraded OS for me at all. I would say the battery life was only about 2/3 as long. This is a big drawback in my opinion considering I really wasn't running anything differently. Yeah, it was a bit prettier and more customizable and I was very impressed with the stability, but it's kind of pointless to have a wireless device that you have to keep plugging in all the time.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickHouTX:

And also with its features.
[Xperia Z2 General] teck_keeda:
Sony's latest flagship phone was announced just a few days ago, and now we have a UK price and release date. The Xperia Z2 will touch down on 1 April, and will cost £544.98 SIM free from Unlocked Mobiles.

Unlocked Mobiles is throwing in a few goodies as well. You'll get a free SRS-BTM8 speaker worth £79.99, noise-cancelling headphones worth £20, and "content" worth £100.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 was also priced up this week, with Unlocked Mobiles whipping out its pricing gun and slapping on a tag of £599.98. The Samsung flagship will go on sale on 11 April.
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
Wasn't the Z2 supposed to go on sale in March? Does anyone have details on further Europe release dates? And where to find these when they come up?

To me the samsung doesn't have much going for it when its even higher priced than the Z2. Who would pay more for SGS5 when you can get a better device for less, with included gadgets? Possibly people who will get Samsung no matter what and can't steer away or are not informed.

[Xperia Z2 General] teck_keeda:
Two things we did not like about the Xperia Z1, was the display and the camera module when it launched late last year. The price tag certainly dropped in December with the phone now being available for Rs 37,000.

At this year's MWC, Sony unveiled the Z1's successor. The Xperia Z2 seems to have addressed on the issues that plagued its predecessor. The new display as Sony puts it, is “a brand new technology integrated only into Sony Mobile displays, for increased colour depth and gradation. And the IPS gives an excellent viewing angle and accurate colours from edge to edge”.

Sony claims that camera processing algorithms have also been tweaked to deliver lower noise levels compared to last year’s offering. Additionally, there is also the much-awaited 4k video capture and background defocus and many new shooting modes. With so many improvements (even with the design and processor) and new features like Noise Cancellation, we can easily say that this year’s Z2 will easily beat the competition. What’s more interesting is that the smartphone has already hit pre-order in Europe in a number of countries.

The pre-order price is pegged at EUR 599 euros in Germany and 599 pounds in the UK, which should roughly translate to Rs 50,000 in India.

Exactly! Pay more for less, sounds like Apple's theme on smartphones. Z2 first smartphone of 2014 with 3mb of ram which i would think by today is the standard. S5 with only 2mb and HTC M8 benchmarks showing only 2mb as well. S5 water resistant for a water spill and Z2 to actually take underwater pictures, HTC will wall behind and overall non of the above. Z2 with much larger battery and better stamina modes then S5 and we all know HTC's battery track record. Of course many will say 2mb of ram is enough, sure but you trying to say 3mb is too much? LOL! More is better in this department IMO. Just not liking the idea of the Z2 all glass back and front.

And when it comes out in the States the carriers will only include the device and a wall charger. Always gettin the shaft in this "goodie" department.

Who ever said anything about 3gigs of ram? And that its too much? Wut are you talking about? I think its great and sony one of the first phones to have that.

Out of curiosity I just check their site(already pre-orded for $799) they have them listed for $969.99, $789.99 & price not announced. I'm guessing the no/high price were the earlier listing and should have been taken down.

I wonder if they will go down even more before release? Many of the other US sellers also lowered the price recently(including where I ordered mine-to what i'm paying, $70 less).

[Xperia Z2 General] teck_keeda:
The newly announced Sony Xperia Z2 will be available in China in a special Deluxe Edition package. Available at some point next month, this version will bundle Sony’s latest flagship with a bunch of accessories, including a DK36 Magnetic Charging Dock, a STM10 Stereo Microphone, a MDR-NC31EM Digital Noise Cancelling Headset, and a SCR10 Style Cover Stand.

This premium package will come with a price; while the “standard” Xperia Z2 will sell for 4,999 Yuan (about $800), the Deluxe Edition will go for 5,499 Yuan ($884). Yeah, we think Sony is asking way too much money for its device and we’re confident the price will go down in just a few months.

Anyhow, we’ve no idea whether this deluxe offering will also be available in the West. Even if that happens, we doubt the Japanese company will ask that much money.

Again, the Xperia Z2 will come with a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core chip, 3GB of RAM, 5.2-inch full HD TRILUMINOS display, 20.7MP “G Lens” Exmor RS camera, Waterproof IP55 and 58 certified body, and a solid 3,200mAh battery.

So you’re looking to pick up either the Samsung Galaxy S5, the Sony Xperia Z2 or the HTC One M8.

We’ve already posted deals from other suppliers and now Amazon have published their pricing, look away now they’re not cheap!.

The HTC One M8 is the cheapest at £529.95 whilst both the Sony and Samsung flagships will retail for a penny off £560, also known as £559.99, the blue version of the Galaxy S5 is even more expensive at £569.95.

If the HTC One M8 is the one you have your heart set on then you can get it even cheaper by buying the Pay As You Go model from Three. That’ll cost you £459.99 with a top up, the device will also come unlocked ready for any other network sim card if needed.

Not cheap right? We did expect pricing of this kind so it matches what most people would be expected to pay for the 3 flagships from HTC, Samsung and Sony.
