[Q] Samsung GS3 Equivilant query. - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, I was wondering what, if any, the equivalent of the Australian Vodafone Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (GT-I9300T upon purchase/before roming) is as far as the forums on XDA go. Just so I know where my posts are best directed. And yes I have searched extensively.
Many thanks in advance.

Festive bump.

Anyone? This would help me greatly in which forum to post questions and give answers..

Perhaps one last bump shall help my find some assistance? I've searched a lot to no success.

Or I could just post in here until I'm able to give feedback in threads that are actually relevant to me..

Yes, yes.. I'll just have a pretty little conversation with myself.

How are you Vehdrehl? Good, I hope?

Oh, why thank you for enquiring! I'm doing pretty well thank you. Just waiting around to be able to post in threads that are actually relevent. How're things on your side of the fence?

Oh hey, funny that you should mention that. I'm trying to be able to reply to someone in a thread relative to my interests as well! It's a little silly as I just want to post a helpful responce, but I guess I get why the restrictions are in place.

Well, I wish you the best of luck and hope I can merge back into you to form our true self and post in threads that are actually relevant. Here goes!

Thanks!

Thanks to all the great minds here! I now have a rooted Captivate running Continuum v4 and love it. I will be donating to Icezar very soon. Took me a little while to figure it out being my first time trying to do anything like this to a phone but after reading a bit I got it.
Thanks so much for the great work and help articles!
We all love the devs and helpful community, but I think your thanks belong in the Continuum thread, not a new one...
Maybe
Thanks for the hint. I'm fairly new and all but I have figured out quickly enough that I can't post in a development forum until I've made 10 posts. Not to mention this was thanks to everyone that helped with articles in the Captivate area.
But I'll keep your suggestion in mind. lol

Don't mind him. Half the users on this forum are self proclaimed mini mods.
Yes, well, new members should learn when to post and where to post it. Now he/she knows. And if someone created a thread everytime they wanted to thank people, the Captivate forums would explode.

Yes, I can see that they can't post in dev forums, but is it really that hard to wait it out to be able to post there? 10 is nothing.
And as far I can tell, your profile doesn't specify gender.
Oh, and welcome to the forums, and happy flashing.
Ok, so I was a little impatient. lol
Thought I uploaded a couple of pics on there. hmmm
Thanks!
Hang in there on post count. Before you know it, your a senior member with 2 or 3 hundred posts.
Thanks haley!
We shall see. lol I work on computers for a living so the phone thing is foreign to me at this point but I'm learning fairly quick.
Continuum v5
While this being my 1st post and therefore cannont post in the developer forum. I wanted to thank cezar for his work on Continuum v5(Conf.# 5FV14942N3071105A) and rack up at least one post towards my required 10

[Q] How do I root a U.S. Cellular Samsung Galaxy S SCH-R530?

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S III SCH-R530 32GB from U.S. Cellular and haven't rooted it or anything. I was wondering if anyone had any instructions or tips they could give me?
Before this I had a Motorola Electrify that I successfully rooted, but since this is a newer phone I'm guessing the steps have changed since then.
I have heard stuff about some triangle sometimes appearing after rooting, and something else about a counter.
I would like to root my Galaxy S so that those things don't happen if possible.
Any help would be great, thank you! :fingers-crossed:
Anyone going to help? Thank you.

Wow
I understand where you are coming from with seeing it many times, but why do you have to be so harsh? Some of us do attempt before we ask. But seeing a response like yours makes it more frustrating then helpful. You're a junior member, if you can't be nice or respond with something nice then don't at all.
I'm sure at one point in time you were in the "noob" shoes. And I'm sure you were frustrated as well. Did you feel good when someone was ruthless and harsh like that to you?
Not being rude, just stating a fact.

Really annoying when posts like this seem to always be the number one Google search for model# root. If they're such a problem, admins should be deleting them so they aren't everyone else's number one search hit. Yes, I know this will only make the thread come back up, but it's already #1 Google. If the question isn't worth anyone answering, no need to be in the questions and answers section.
For anyone who got here searching Google. This thread is not a guide. A link or two down on "SCH-R530 root" there's an android sc link with a guide and download. (That was just the next closest, so there's something here.)

There's no need for you to respond to this thread especially since the last response was 3 months and 4 days ago. You're just wasting forum space.

No man, I really hate people who ask for help and then shouts at those same people who helps you. The guy previously there just gave a comment to help the people who land on this thread future. For example "me".. The OP didn't have to be so rude about that IMHO. No offence to you BTW

While it may be annoying, imagine how annoying it becomes when tens of users continually ask "how do you root such and such models" without ever bothering to spend 5 or 10 minutes googling it or searching the forum they post in. Unless a phone model literally just came out, there's going to be information in more than one place on how to root that device. It becomes frustrating to many people when individual after individual consciously refuses to take 5 - 10 minutes and research what they want. I love helping people, and I regularly post in other forums, but when numerous individuals ask how to root their devices when the information is extremely easy to find by simply going to Google and typing "root [model number]" or "how to root [model number]", it shows the person doesn't really care about helping themselves (if they don't care, how can anyone else). If a person can't find the information after 10 minutes of researching on their own, then I have no complaint... but considering the vast majority of questions on how to root a device can be answered with a simple Google search, if a person refuses to make this simple effort, then I don't feel they should be told how to root it since they're expecting to be treated like a child and have someone else act as a parent.
Forums are there as a tool to help people, but that doesn't absolve an individual from the responsibility to help themselves.

Carrier doesn't generally matter... the model number of the phone does.

CF-Auto-root
Sorry i am a noob and may have missed this in another forum but does cf auto root work for the us celluar s3 running 4.3?
I myself have landed on this page through Google & the sites search function several times, in fact in three pages this is the most relevant. So for my own benefit and others here are three methods for the galaxy s3 sch-r530 that I've found for either the 530 specifically & earlier android builds, r530 with 4.3 or all s3's. The link for the Sprint root method posted earlier links back to this forum within the one posted.

[Q] Hello everyone from Cyprus

I am new here and wanted to say hello first to everyone! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
I have questions but like i said im new so not sure where to ask exactly.
I searched the whole forum but from what i've seen my device is not mentioned anywhere or at least the model i am supposed to have. Dont really know anything about these stuff so i hope this is not a really stupid question.
I recently bought and i quote from the site a Gooapple V8 MTK6575 android phone i5 but to be honest i wasnt expecting most of the apps to be in chinese. You are probably saying right now thats naive well i guess you can see what a newbie i am with this whole thing.
My question is how can i have these apps in english and working i guess this device at its best.
I've seen others posting some general info so here it goes:
Version: 6.0 (10A405)
Model Number: MD297ZP
Modem Firmware: 1.00.16
Dont know if that helps in any way but if someone can suggest or point me to the right direction i would very much appreciate it.
Thanks
Tony
For starters, welcome to XDA Developers
Since you are a new member here, I will attempt to point you in the right direction. Try this thread. I think it may get you headed in the right direction. For future reference, and you did state that you searched, there is an extreme emphasis on using Search at XDA before posting.
Good Luck
Thanks shinobisoft!
I found that thread when i was searching and i did read it but it mentions only V5 and not V8 that i have. Maybe they aren't much different. Anyway thanks again and i guess i will post there and find out more.
Cheers
Tony

[Completed] (Noob) Note 4 bricked USC (R4) Bricked/stuck ??

I believe a relative attempted to install via oden, A Verizon based module on this phone using odin. I am so unlearned about the android os that I do not know the terminology even to use here. Not complaints but just info, I am now victim to two arsons and thus homeless and rebuilding and so little time this is first chance I have had to post about this in some time.
I am not very adept at finding articles here so would appreciate any help any can provide.
I wish to and will learn all there is to know about Android some time in future and will master most of it except programing.
For now any help with any post or articles or what have you would be appreciated as well as any live help should someone so care to provide
You are welcome to PM or email me as well. [email protected].
If I am allowed to post this, I would consider paid help as well. If not allowed to post any part of this or if in wrong area, please help me correct my actions.
Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
Here is a thread on returning your device to stock with Odin, http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
And as far as wanting to learn about Android and the things found on XDA, my only advice is to read read read. There is a lot of info out there, just search on terms or procedures you are curious about and read through the search results.
For your device, you can start with this thread to learn more about it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/guide-to-note-4-wip-t2939288
You can ask questions there as well!
Good luck!
Ty, Darth. Sorry for my noobness. I cannot seem to locate in the reccomended thereds, any thing about USCelluar phones or any link to any Rom, Kernal or what ever it is called. I do now know odin was improperly used and possibly a verizon upload was made to the phone and then on panic odin was ran and all possible options tried like flash tlock partition and any other options except pit.
I have not a clue where to start to fix it. I have been reading but if I seen any possible solutions, I missed them. Can someone please point me to some factory iriginal files for the USC NOTE 4 and some knowledge of how to use them? If some other files would work, where verizon or what have you, glad to try that to. The phone in question has never been on line or assigned any phone number since new. Not sure that matters. I do not mind messing it up further or experimenting to learn or help devs if any needed.
Thanks
Gh
I suggest then asking about your device here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/noob-friendly-question-t2866810
But I will tell you... Reading and research is a part of this hobby. Without doing a lot of that, people end up with big problems usually.
Here is the main note 4 section, I recommend reading through some of the sticky threads in the general and Q&A sections. Those are the threads at the top with a thumb tack symbol beside them. :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4
After you've read up and know a little more, then I'd worry about roms and whatnot. And any further questions can be asked in the first thread I linked in this post.
Good luck again!
I am confident in only big solutions. I thank you for your kindness and patience. I am only sorry that I do not know a rom from a kernal or a brick for now. I regret, I am not smart enough as well to follow the links so well or derive from then when I can. I do have unbreakable tenacity however and never lose a war due to it. The outcome for me is obvious but the time frame not so nice to me as I will not have time to read much for some months and now seek a quuick fix for a quick fix of feeling human again, for now. Any advise for a direct link to some adb and fast boot drivers? Seems this may be the sutipn and not odin for now. Seems I need to get what ever the file is called into the phone or files to recover to as mine goes to recovery every time but then losds the bum files it has stired. Would be nice to know how to idenify the files but all in good time.
You will need to ask in the threads provided. Xda Assist is here to help navigate the site, not for support.
If you have no time to read, and want things done quick, then I suggest to you that your heading down a risky path... And your device could suffer.
Also, XDA is a place to learn and share... Without doing your part here, meaning reading, you will have trouble getting people to help.
Thanks, and thread closed.

[Completed] help

Hello everybody, I am a too fresh member called Yaqub, coming from Burkina in Western Africa. I am happy to be here and appreciate all your great works that helped many times. Thanks from the biggest to the smallest of you! I would like to know if here is the best place to send questions asking for help to solve a phone problem. Thanks
Hi, and welcome to the XDA forums.
XDA Assist is meant for pointing people in the right direction to find the answers to their issues. We don't actually offer actual technical help here unless it is a simple solution.
We point the users here to the proper forums to post to so that they have a general idea of where to look for answers, and ask if the can't find the answer they need by searching that forum/thread.
If you tell me the model of phone that you have, I could suggest a better place to search for answers, and also to post to if you can't find one.
