Hello all, my question is very simple. I have an international samsung galaxy s3. And am confused because it hasnt gotten jellybean yet. And quite frankly, im kinda pissed as well. All my friends have jellybean on their s3's. I went to about phone and clicked software update but it says no update available. i have also plugged the phone into kies but kies also says "This is the latest firmware". Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
The rolling out of update takes some time to reach all devices...
And are your friends using custom roms? As custom roms on jb leaks have been out for quite some time...
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Man and Knife"
An advice for you. Root your phone and install a custom rom, there option for 4.2 already, stop to wait for Samsung oficial updates with a lot of bloatwares.
I bought a new samsung galaxy s3 on sprint and it came stock with ICS. I then went on to root and update to a jellybean rom that wasn't the official one. Then sprint released an over the air update to go to jellybean, so i wanted tthe official sprint version. I tried several things from unrooting an restoring to trying to download the old firmware and not only will it not work when i try to download the firmware but now i cant even download the hacked firmware back ? i have no clue what to do its extremly frustrating . Does anyone know what to do ??
When the official JB update comes out for it, will it update to the official JB release? Just wondering. Can't seem to find the answer here, so thought I would ask you. Just bought the 5113 and want to update it to JB before I put anything on it or do anything...however I have seen that people say it is very slightly buggy (such as the weather widget not showing up) so I wanted to make sure that when the official release of JB comes out, I can still upgrade it. Thanks! :good:
Soon I will be receiving my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 (White) hopefully Thursday 1/24/13
I'm familiar with the Samsung Galaxy line as I've own the S II and currently own the S III
Reading through these forums before I decided to purchase the Note 10.1, over the Nexus 10, I was excited to see so much development for this tablet. I'm guessing when I receive this tablet it will have ICS 4.0 installed, here is my question
What is the first thing I should to do the tablet when I receive it should I do an OTA to get it to JellyBean or would it be better for me to just root it and the flash a provided ROM in the forum to upgrade it to 4.1.2 via TWRP?
IMy guess is that I should not do any OTA and just root, install recovery and then flash a 4.1.2 ROM, for now I'll be sticking a stock ROM since I kinda like TouchWiz
Thank you in advance for all suggestions!

yes skip the ota part and root your phone once you get it.. then flash 4.1.2.. you can choose from the 3 custom recovery that we have here., twrp.,
zedomax cwm., and darkman_RS cwm..
I would say use your tablet stock for a few dayz just so u know could experience pure stock.. Its nice to see wat a device can do untouched. Than I would say update in a few dayz because if you like me I just love knowing I can do things to my device because once u fix up tge tablet u gonna become bored and wanna try more roms.. thats why I say play with stock for awhile. Once you go custom its boring using pure stock..

Thank you both for your suggestions
I can do the pure stock thing for a few days, with root of course!
Actually my main thinking was to run it with stock 4.1.2
Yep. I flashed a lot of different custom roms on my old tablet (asus transformer), but I've never really found the need to do it for this one. I'd advise you to root with the exynos exploit apk (because it's easy, but it might not be as safe), then use mobile odin to flash to 4.1.2 while keeping root. Then, with root, you can add multiwindow to all your apps with another apk available in the Themes and Apps section here!
If your stay stock on 4.1.1 why not just ota as its easier then root with exploit app? This is what I did, love touchwiz all I've done is made more apps available in multiwindow and rooted

I got my tablet today, WOW!!! Two days earlier than I expected
The following is what I did
1. Installed CMW via Odin
2. Installed SuperSU via CMW
3. Installed Goo IM and installed TWRP
4. Installed Stock 4.1.2 via TWRP after doing a backup of course!!!
Man so far Peel is awesome
How can I move the soft keys from the left side to the right?
So my dad and I both have the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Skyrocket from Rogers; I727R. A couple days ago I updated mine via Kies from Gingerbread 2.3.5 to Jellybean 4.1.2. Today I tried updating his (also GB 2.3.5), but once I connect his device, Kies says it already has the latest firmware.
Is there a way around this? I explained my situation to Samsung Support over the phone and the representative's suggestion was that "even if someone had the exact same phone model and carrier, the update could be rolled out at different times." And I was advised to just wait. Hasn't Jellybean been out for a few months now?
I tried a hard reset on his phone and it still didn't offer any firmware updates. Can anyone help? Thanks.
If Kies does not work for you, read the stickies. In them you will find all the directions to use Odin to update your Dad's phone. You will also find in there all the files you need to do it. Good luck!
