Hi all,
I'm a noob. I was an iPhone user and am new to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (best move I ever made).
I love anything custom, I'd like to flash and root, and anything else of the sort, my Vodafone Australia Samsung Galaxy S3. However, I'm not sure where I belong in the forums? What version is my phone? (e.g. sprint mobile, t-mobile, whatever they all are). Which ROM's would work on my phone?
Thanks in advance,
Julia
made the right choice in exchange, I'll see if I can find the right forum for your device and post here: Rir:

If you want only a different appearance then you don't need to root your phone. Its better not to take risk for you are new to your phone. If you want to overclock your phone or want to try out different roms then you can root your phone. But it voids your warranty so, its your decision.

I'm suffering with Unlocking my Samsung Galaxy S, Vibrant T9595 T-Mobile, already paid some hackers to unlock it, however seem to be a total fraud.
I was wondering if i can Download a fresh copy of Android, Flush my Mobile completely and re-install Android 2.2 on my mobile.
I know i can do this, however i really dont know where to start, specially that i Just moved to Android From Iphone and new for this.
Your Guidance will be highly appreciated.
There are free apps in market that unlock your phone. Just search galaxy s unlock.
Nope there are nill.
Galaxy S Vibrant T959 T-Mobile is not yet cracked according to XDA.
yes you can crack Galaxy S,but not this model, i have tried it all so far, been working long hours on that but still nothing so far...
i have Galaxy S I-9000 and it was sim-locked for french carrier.
i used the "sgs unlock tool" to have the unlock code, then i put another carriers's sim card and then i put the code.
It is written that it doesn't work (on the phone) but it does.
Try it this way and tell us
Thanks Cedric for your suggestion I will download the tool and keep you posted with the feedback.
Hey everyone ^^. Im new to XDA and sort of new to the Android modding scene too. Im curious if i can install any Rom on my Galaxy S5. I know they have to be specifically designed for that phone, but are there certain Roms that are tied to a certain phone carrier/variant? Specially designed? I guess my question would be could i take a Rom made for the Galaxy S5 Dev Edition from Verizon and use that Rom on a galaxy S5 regular verizon variant? Sorry for being such a Newb :/
generally speaking the rom has to say its for your exact model/variant/carrier/etc or you will likely have issues and even possibly brick.
as far as specifically a dev rom to your phone, im not positive, but following the rule above, the answer is most likely no you cant.
Hi
I am wondering if i have a phone that is so new that there is no mention if it here. I was trying to find out how to root it and was given a program that works with all kinds of phones, it worked but I still don't know of it is different than the s4 sgh-i337. the reason I wanted to root the phone is that I want to create a hot spot which I can't do. I guess if you just tell me how to make this phone into a hot spot that would work but I really want to know what forums I need to use to do things with this phone. It is a new phone for smart talk (AT&T).
Thanks
Hi,
I've seen that you've posted in the S4 forums already. And that would be a good place. Yes, you have an obscure model and no... It's not the same as a the others.... And flashing anything not specifically made your model could destroy your device.
But for asking questions... You already "found your way".... . ?
Good luck. ?
I am a mildly disappointed owner of an AT&T SGH I-497.... SERIOUSLY looking at changing it up and want a SAMSUNG 10 inch tablet I can customize without issue and that has GOOD development....... Which model does everyone recommend? Thanks in advance.... thinking of learning development on my 10.1 since the file system appears broken....

Go away from the carrier locked down versions and go with a wifi only tab. They have unlocked bootloaders and you can run custom roms on them without issue. As far as which ones I'd look around, the Galaxy Tab S series looks good but you may want to look around the forums here for what's the better option for development
From my S3 on Wicked 4.3
I currently use a Samsung Galaxy SIII on verizon. I did the whole rooting and bootloader thing (whatever you call it). Im in the market for a new phone and was wanting some insight on what new phones are out there that i can do the same thing. I love the ability to load custom roms and do away with all the bloatware that come with every phone. Can some one help out with letting me know what phone still has the capability to root like i did my SG3. I keep reading that the new galaxy phones are impossible to root anymore. I was leaning towards the note 4 but it looks like theres not root for it. Im looking for a phone that I know can be rooted (along with the bootloader) and where i can use custom roms. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
you won't get your question answered on XDA. I suggest you search for the best phone you should pick yourself. For the ability to root the phone you desire, I recommend you to have a look if there is a device forum on XDA and that the phone is rootable.
Good luck!
