Still no update for my 727r
Rogers is giving me some variant of "It will be released when it's released"
I think a official bug free CM9 might be out before rogers releases this one.

Last week was fuelled by confusion.... There was an ICS update... But not by rogers & not for the sgh-i727r.... The update was for the i900x galaxy Sll... & was released by Bell & Telus.....
I'm looking forward to this week, with one eye closed, so to speak... The rumours abound ever since Samsung's Press Release... Dollars to Donuts... EVERY rogers "customer" will be feverishly checking Kies, to the extent that many will become legally certifiable by Week's end, should no ICS update be available for download

Sean are you helping out with the unofficial cm9 with top by chance? Because your skills shouldn't be wasted on touchwiz

Believe me guys, when ics drops for Rogers I'll let u know, being a reliable source and all
I'll also make a full system dump flash able via Odin (tar) that u guys can work off until a more pure source can be found

I swear all of us Canadian i727r owners will have maxed out our bandwidth a couple of times before Rogers releases the update

What gives?
I spoke to a Rogers Tech Rep he said the release had nothing to do with Rogers, what gives? Have I been lied to once again?

Stable Stock JellyBean?

Hi all,
Just curious since I haven't seen anything and haven't found anything with a search, has anyone installed the latest Stock JellyBean leak that came out? Is it stable? I heard it got leaked, but haven't seen any threads regarding it.

I haven't heard of any JB leaks for Verizon.

agree ^ if there is anything out there that you know about , let us know!

He's probably referring to the Sprint leak which is the first CDMA leak of JB.
You would have to scan through the Touchwiz JB ROMs in the development forum to see if they have switched their base over to the Sprint leak or not.

If sprint has a leak ours shouldnt be far behind.

Except that his is NOT cdma based, its based on TMo/ATT leaks.....which come with their own unique issues. RLS7 is a pretty great rom though, makes you second guess whether you want tw or not....

Test 8 is the sprint based leak and it's out as well.

Verizon is still adding bloat to JB, It'll be a while before vzw releases it.

Touchwiz 4.4 (VRUCXXX) update discussion thread

With the open source code being released for the Sptint Galaxy S3 ours can't be too far behind. So as a continuation of my Touchwhiz ML1 thread I present the Touchwhiz 4.4 update discussion thread
The same rules apply to this thread as my last one. No fighting. Be nice and enjoy!

So a user in Invisiblek's firmware thread posted about Verizon's new pdf being uploaded. The pdf is blank as of this moment though. You can access it from here: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/system_update/galaxys3.html
Edit: It's TW 4.3 if you continue reading, @droidstyle posted a link to it on Samsung-Updates.

I added an edit to my post as well. Looks like the update mentioned in the firmware thread is already posted on Samsung-Updates but its for 4.3. Its VRUCNC1.
Edit: To clarify, the TW 4.3 VRUCNC1 tar is available for download off Samsung Updates. Might be an upcoming OTA, I guess?

but our 4.3 is ML1

Indeed, but there's a new tar available. Judging by the date, that VRUCNC1 tar has been available for a few weeks as well.

Are we sure this is 4.4? It looks like every other website talking about it is claiming its 4.3.

The NC1 tar is 4.3 according to Samsung Updates.
This thread is still relevant though cuz the Sprint S3 is getting KitKat so (potentially) we're not far off.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4

pretty sure the nc1 build is gonna be official, gonna post a way to keep root for locked users and for unlocked users

Just so everyone is aware you CAN odin back to VRUCML1 after flashing the VRUCNC1 tar file. Ill post this in the other discussion thread just to make sure it is seen by anyone who might need to revert.

What changes does the new tar file bring? My bro has the 4.3 stock not rooted. So if this gives a better function that would be good news.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Looks like Sprint is sending out the 4.4.2 update today. Verizon should be about a month away with how they do updates. http://www.androidcentral.com/spint...ung-galaxy-s3?utm_source=ac&utm_medium=dlvrit

Question About Rooting 4.3 w/ NC1 Baseband

I have a friend that I've finally convinced to root his S3 that is on 4.3 with the NC1 baseband. What process do I need to follow to be able to do this for him? I won't have any problems with the steps, I'm just not sure where/how to proceed.

Will flahsing the ML1.tar also change the baseband or do I need a separate .tar for that as well? Also, am I correct in saying that the ML1 (4.3) bootloader can not be unlocked?

Correct.

That is mostly correct. You can downgrade back to ML1 so you can root and run safestrap, but that's it. Trying to downgrade to anything before ML1 will brick your device.

I just suggested the same thing you mentioned her to another member. At least root is available. I'm trying to convince my gf who is getting a new S3 later today because of charging issues to root hers if its on 4.1.2. She's getting a new phone in just about 4 months anyways

My wife wouldn't let me root her S3, so she's locked up on the NC1 update. She loves the display on the Samsung, but she says Android is too complicated for her and she is always complaining she doesn't know how to use the phone. We are both eligible for upgrade so I'm considering trying to convince her we should upgrade - her to the iPhone5s and me to the S5. Just not sure I want the locked down bootloader. Need to get into a store to play with one.

Check out the new M8 man. I wasn't a huge fan of HTC when I had my thunderbolt but HTC has done a lot to change sense.
Yea she gets her new S3 today at some point and I'm hoping it's on 4.1.2

Well, with the way phones are getting locked down especially on Verizon, it seems the whole rooting and romming scene is kind of shrinking. It's getting to the point if you don't buy a Nexus or developer edition phone, you're going to be stuck with stock.

Yup, the S5 doesn't even have root yet. Very discouraging, but the m8 has good development, and stock on the m8 is very good.

There was no source released so that should be a....no.

That would be a no until way after November when its actually released by Google. People get awfully excited about photos.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. I was just wondering because I know that the nexus devices received a Dev build to try but I didn't know if it was possible to port it to another device. Guess I'll have to wait till the official release.
