[Q] Why hasnt my s3 gotten jellybean yet?? - General Questions and Answers

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.

Help please? :)

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII LTE HD, and I know this is going to sound fairly of noob-ish, but I'm new to Android.
I have two questions.
1. I'm with Bell Mobility and the release date for ICS was supposed to be this month, and I've been plugging and unplugging my phone into the computer like a madwoman, and Kies is still saying that my 2.3.6. is the latest firmware. Am I having a problem with Kies?
2. I'd prefer not to wait for ICS any longer than I already have, is there anyone who can help me with a guide to flashing a custom ROM and acquiring ICS that way?

Official U.S. ICS ROM released yet?

As the title says, just wondering if the official US rom has been released yet OTA or otherwise. I think (pretty sure) I'm running the U.K. version right now and I only have 1 minor problem which is the reminder to setup software updates doesn't work. Also, I'm thinking about giving this tablet to my GF for Christmas and getting the Galaxy Tab 7.7 for myself for the better screen.
Thanks for the help!
Bump?
If you're asking if Samsung issued an upgrade to ICS for the 7.0 Plus in the US, the answer is yes. AFAIK, it had to be installed using Kies.
I can confirm this, I just updated my tab yesterday via kies and it's now in ICS 4.04
OK cool. I'll flash back to stock and do an upgrade to the official
On a side note, I also followed the root instructions under the CWM 6.0 thread in development and it still works :good:

If I upgrade my P5113 to JB...

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:

[Q] simple question needing a simple answer.

When android rolls out with 4.3, will users with the galaxy tab 2 10.1 still be supported as far as development with custom ROMs goes? Without making anyone mad here I'm going to ask another way... Will I ever see android 4.3 on a tablet I purchased a little over a month ago? It is keeping me up all night searching for answers and I'm at my ropes end.
Thanks for reading.
P.s I should have sprung the extra hunskie for the note 2 huh?

The custom roms will always be there...if the hardware will allow it we'll get the update here...I've seen many older devices getting jelly bean although they were officialy left on gingerbread or even froyo

Yeah, even the boost zte warp now has a buggy jellybean,and Ly-f1 clones (cheap alwinner tabs) were getting jellybean ROMs very shortly after the source was released, so i agree the prospects look good.

i already have 4.2 based ROMs for my RazrM, and it's still on 4.1.2. If there's an update pushed for the Tab, it will be developed and released in custom ROMs. If the OTA isn't pushed to the Tab, I can almost guarantee there will still be aftermarket ROMs based off 4.3 or 5.0 or whatever comes out next. Truthfully, I don't know why you are losing sleep over this.

I've got a 4.2.2 ROM as well... Losing sleep looking for answers.

[Q] Is it safe?

Hi everyone,
I know just enough about custom ROMs to make me dangerous. Enough rope to hang myself, if you will.
I rooted my Samsung S3 (Rogers) SGH-i747 from 4.1.2 stock rom, then went to Quantum custom rom which is fantastic. However, with the S5 around the corner and 4.4 kitkat inching towards the S3, I'll be giving this phone to my wife and want it back to stock with OTA updates. (a counter reset would be awesome but only a bonus) I'm using the bootloader I747MVLUEMK5.
Is it safe to flash a stock 4.3 OTA rom from here and if so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks in advance
anyone else?

Although I appreciate the quick reply, it'd be nice to hear from others as well, perhaps with a bit more experience than 3 posts and a March join date.
Still looking for more input. Your help is appreciated
