Developer edition....can regular version still be unlocked/rooted just as easily?? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am wondering if I still need to get the Developer Edition of the SIII to be able to root/unlock, install custom roms, tether, etc. or can all that be done on the regular version of the SIII just as easily that I can get at the Verizon store?
Thanks!

Any S3 . No need to get the developers phone .

Yes its unnessesary to buy the dev edition. Hurts the dev community in the long run when people purchase it. Not to mention your dropping 700 bones on a phone that verizon wont touch or support. And has no warranty

Yeah I have no intention of hurting the dev community, my main concern was that I could root/unlock/modify an SIII bought from the Verizon store just as much and easily as I could with a dev version......

Mobile ODIN Pro

I could have sworn that someone asked awhile back about this Chainfire app ... must have been before the forums got split up by carrier.
Anyone try this yet? I'm curious - as we're unlocked now - whether we can carry ODIN with us like the rest of the SIII population.
Here's a link to the xDa thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
edit: Mobile ODIN Pro 3.1 is up in the Play Store !!!

Don't think u can use it until the creator of the app says it's compatible with our system.

It might just not be compatable because the developer still assumes we have a locked BL. Now thats its unlocked like the rest of the varients it might just work.

I know Chainfire just got back from an extended vacation ... he's probably very busy.
I'm tempted to give it a try, though $4.99 is a bit steep for a program that may not work with our phones.
I'll put a link to the xDa thread on Mobile ODIN in my OP.

I spent the better part of yesterday testing 3.1 for Chainfire ... it is sweet.
Mobile ODIN Pro will actually take bone stock firmware (like an OTA), root it and inject SuperSU before flashing it to your phone.
Look for a release anytime now ...

AT&T gets official Jelly Bean!

Just read reports of official Jelly Bean update for at&T galaxy s3. I guess Verizon will be last again, but I expected that. Just another slap in the face from Verizon.

Yea each carrier GSIII got JB 4.1.1. Which means 4.1.2 or even 4.2 is a long way off if it even comes.

It's for the international S3 so I would have a hard time porting it.
If you find a ROM from another US S3, I'll be glad to do it for ya :good:
Well since this from the International version don't expect any takers. If it was from another carrier but still the US version they would be more willing to do it.

I know, some have tried the other roms for the other variants. but only wound up messing up their own tab. And the restore tab is for AT&T international version and even though it does work, it isn't all in English. The closest one is for Tmobile, but TMO doesn't have LTE, so you could kiss it goodbye. Probably why not many have tried it. It's a shame that the Dev's don't want to own one, I have dumped my rom also did a CWM backup of my tab. But since there is no one to work on getting us a JB rom, we have to wait for the update from AT&T, if they ever do it.
I'm sure at&t won't release anything soon

Regrettably I have to agree with you. Either way, this GT2 is 100% better than the Jetstream....

I would also like to know this answer... I'm just starting my research on Rooting and installing a Custom ROM on my device.
I've found a few other sites that give you ROM's....
http://tips4droid.com/top-best-custom-rom-samsung-galaxy-tab-2-10-1/
http://www.thegalaxytabforum.com/index.php?/topic/16585-custom-rom-for-att-i497-p5113-solved/ Not sure if this is an Original ROM or not.

http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2013/12/vlamj2-412-jb-official-rom-att-galaxy-tab2-10-1-sgh-i497.html
But I didn't know anything about what they were talking about in the above replies...I hope there are some ROM's as this Tab is constantly Freezing and slowing down... I hardly have anything on it and constantly keep clearing the Cache in the Recover Boot area... I was hoping a Root with a custom ROM would help me out.....
Anything new?
Figure this is so old that if nobody has done one by now, it never going to happen.
I don't think there's a custom rom for your device...

For starters I believe we should be able to get things like IR support and all the little extra features that usually only TW based roms could offer.
It might also help Dan or some other dev to completely unlock the bootloader.

Well since the source is released I believe devs can truly fix the weird screen issues we have (smearing and all)
And it might help with a bootloader unlock
also pure samsung kernels which should have better stability and speed
So could devs use the TW camera app with other Roms?

No because that requires the touchwiz framework.

Dont get your hopes up in regards to bootlader unlock, that requires the signature keys, which has nothing to do with the kernels.

True true but it might help Dan understand more about the device and possibly work around it. Yea odds are it won't help but its always nice to be hopeful now that AT&T is officially about to shut down loki

Depends. If you send it to AT&T you bet they will patch for security. If you're using third party insurance I would just request they don't or at least ask if they do so you can plan for it or something, not that that would help :/
While it won't initially, you can bet people will be greedy and make you pay extra for day one models that are not patched but in reality it should only be like a 50$ premium at most. There are plenty of smart phones out there that are about just as good as the S4 that are unlocked, also holiday season will bring about plenty of competing phones and friendlier bootloaders.
