I recently got an S3 and it came with the VRLG1 update already installed. I rooted my phone and then decided to go back to stock and flashed the VRLF2 stock image because it was the only one I could find. My question is does anyone have or know where to get the VRLG1 update from instead of waiting for the OTA.
You want the dumbed down search?

I havent messed with TnT for a while now but I think thats the ROM that has the look of the stock OS.
Or you can always go back to the Original Stock

Follow these threads in this order,
1) GTab recovery firmware, flash latest -- This will put you completely back to stock
2) TnT Stock Enhancement Pack, flash latest -- Flash TnT version 3.1.4b
That should get you to Viewsonic's latest firmware with some xda flavored enhancements, I'm not sure if you can receive official OTA updates from Viewsonic with the enhancement pack. I've never used stock for more than 10 or so minutes in Nov last year.
Thank you both, most appreciated.

You could always use the nvflash method tekrhino posted first then flash the update I linked to (first link) to get you to a completely updated stock GTab. Rooting can be accomplished via oneclickroot or some similar method.
has anyone on at&t yet to see ICS update?
Looks like someone at Google said on Google plus that there work is done for the rest if this year & the other Nexus s version At&t & Sprint have to wait til next year I'm pissed my Nexus s4g gets no love & At&t gets no love unless they push it out next week they should of push it to all nexus s 's at the same time remember your motto Google.

If you flash 2.3.6 for the I9020T you can flash the stock ICS ROM that was uploaded last night for the I9020T. All you need to do then is flash the radio for I9020A and you have fully functioning ICS .

I keep hearing people say that. It seems weird, though, doesn't it? If that's really all it takes, why wouldn't Google have just packaged them together and released it for the I9020A? I'll never understand corporate politics...
they may just have an ota schedule to keep from taxing the servers, or maybe they are working on a different radio for the at&t version. In any case there is a rooted version of the t version without the radio in the development section that works on the a version just fine. I have been using it all afternoon with no problems what so ever.

I don't think you need to be rooted, but you'll need an unlocked bootloader. And no, if you install modified firmware, you won't get future OTAs.
Hi to all!
I'm a new member here and I'm hoping that you guys could help me with my simple question. I'm very new with Android OS since I've been an iPhone user for the past 2 years. So here it is:
I just bought an UNLOCKED AT&T SGH-i727 from a store here in SAIPAN, MP and I'm planning to update my Gingerbread 2.3.5 to 2.3.6. Will it lose the UNLOCK if I do it? I believe the phone is NOT ROOTED and it was just unlock using an UNLOCK CODE. Also, when I tried to check for SOFTWARE UPDATE it says like my SGH-i727's firmware is up to date which is GINGERBREAD 2.3.5 but I believe there is 2.3.6 already as I saw on my friend's i727. Any idea?
PLEASE HELP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
You won't lose unlock.
Yes there is an update. You have to be sure you have stock 3e recovery and all bloat intact and nothing frozen. You may not see the update right away. It might take a while.
Why you would want a stock update, I don't know.

Thanks for your response.
And that's the problem I don't have anything that you've said, idk where go get them. Could you help me with that?

Ok...do you know the difference between a custom recovery like cwm and the stock 3e recovery?
If you search the general section I have a stock tar hosted there. Sammobile stock tar should find it

So I just downloaded and installed the ota update to jelly bean and whenever I try to delete homepages touch wiz home force closes... I've restarted my phone and even tried clearing data on touch wiz home app.
Anyone else have this problem?
btw..I am not rooted
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Just tried it and it force closed.
It let me add a new home screen no problem. But when I went to delete, it crashed.
Exactly! now I have 7 home screens but am only using 2.
Mine works like it should. Deletes fine, adds fine.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
No problems adding or removing homescreens for me after the update.
I'm wondering what could be causing this as I haven't rooted or done anything really. I'm having to use Apex atm until I [we ] figure it out.
Please post questions in Q&A

Thanks

This seems to be a bug if you have "Transition duration scale" (it may be one of the other animator settings, i dont remember) turned off. Go into Developer options/Drawing and turn it back on, reboot and see if that fixes it. Default settings are 1x.
that works, thanks so much!!
Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum. I bought the s3 from an individual about 2 months ago and he had already installed one of the leaked versions of Jelly Bean. Now that Verizon has finally released the official OTA upgrade, I was wanted to install it because there are a few things that this version has that mine doesn't. Would I have to restore my firmware back to stock to be able to receive the OTA (haven't got any notifications to update)? If so, whats the best way to do it? Use the odin process that I have read about?
Thanks

You would have to restore your phone back to the VRALHE build of ICS or earlier to get the OTA. It is probably simpler to use one of these guides to just go straight to the same build as the OTA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436. They both involve using Odin to flash the images. You can use the no-wipe versions to keep all your data intact or you can use the full-wipe versions instead. You can also check out section 5 in this guide to go back to stock and then OTA if you want to do a little more work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

Sounds like you are just looking for more work. If go to HE and update to OTA will still have do the same amount of ODIN work to Root and unlock to end up in the same place. There is no advantage of OTA over K3 leak.

Makes sense. So can I just flash the root66 Odin file that comes rooted already? Im on 4.1.1 ota

I will be buying a friend's totally stock VZW S3. I've heard some horrible things about the most recent OTA update and I would like to make sure this phone doesn't haven't it. How can I tell? If it does have it, what do I need to do revert back?
I've been a Moto user primarily, and this will be my first Samsung.

If he has the update you can just Odin back to the previous OTA.
LOL, yeah, I know how to get to that screen.
What I need to know is what System Version, Android Version, Baseband Version, Kernel Version, or Build Number the OTA update and pre-OTA updates are.
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2
It should look like what I posted.
The "bad" OTA update would look like this:
OK, got it. "MB1" vs "MD3" in the Baseband Version.
Thanks.

:thumbup: that's correct, keep in mind it's no big deal at all to revert back if it was updated to the dreaded md3
