T989 Official ICS Out June 11?

Not that it directly relates to us but seeing as we can somewhat share roms, it is interesting none the less.

So, they release ICS to Skyrocket HERCULES on the 11th.
Then nine days later on the 20th they release the GS III. lol
ATT better not be far behind. They are really good about holding onto secrets.

Sorry, I said Skyrocket but meant Hercules.

More importantly after the kies release of it, how long till the drop of the source code!! Samsung is usually awesome with dropping it quickly but are they going to wait for the OTA to begin rolling out before they do...I hope not

Source code = overclocked kernels, correct?

T989 owner here.
First and foremost: bwahahaha!
Ok seriously, most of our ROMs come from the Skyrocket, and I'm sure we will have source material for you guys to work with. I would immediately make you guys an updated ROM base but lack a Skyrocket to test with (also lacking an AT&T SIM since my prior AT&T device is currently laying in the middle of the Red River). I figured AT&T would have announced your ICS date by now because the leak is three+ months old now. However, you guys will have new stuff to play with soon.

Could our ics update have been delayed because they are encrypting our bootloader for the upgrade?

I don't think so. I think it's because it's the thunderbolt lol.

Lol yeah that's true, just after all the irritated people finding their sgs3 with an encrypted bootloader makes me nervous of Verizon.
Sent from PhoneRom (ThunderShed)

It would be kind of stupid to encrypt a bootloader that hasn't been but verizon could possibly have them do it.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

I doubt you'll see it here. I think the real reason for the delay, is that this phone is over a year old. That's like 83 in cellphone years. Also, htc is no longer making money on this phone.
I just hope we even get the update at all. I guess we might, now that jellybean is coming out. That way we'll be acceptably behind in OS releases, just like we've always been.
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt

Has verizon ever announced an update for a device and never delivered?

No. But the only reason I said this at all is because I talked to a tech at HTC who basically implyed that the update is done, the hold up is on Verizon at this point.

Not surprising. They have to take it apart and add all their bs to it before they send it out. At least we know htc is finished so maybe verizon won't take too long.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

Nah, I doubt they will encrypt the bootloader.
I really wish Verizon would hurry up! Any day now...

Yea... I am trying to hold on to the T bolt and my grandfathered unlimited as long as possible. I just got a spare t bolt with broken sound for 25 bucks to use as a charger/test phone for Roms! Just need ics now!

I heard it will be a NEW bootloader but not encrypted. Dont know if it is true.

I have been hearing there will be a new one. I have also heard a new root method has to be found.

You do know you can keep your plan if you buy your own phone. It doesn't have to be a thunder bolt.

For what it's worth, I emailed HTC last week and they assured me that the update will be here this month or next the latest.

No Official JB Update for Verizon S3 Coming! Woah, that was close!

So Samsung offically announced the US devices getting JB and while reading the article is says it is coming to the Galaxy S3 on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and US Cellular. I was like WHAAAAAAAAT!
Then when you scroll down to the chart, is has the Verzion S3 JB update also listed as coming soon. Man, a typo like that can give someone a heart attack.

"coming soon" could mean 2013.

"Coming soon" gets put through the Verizon Wireless translator and becomes "coming way later."

I bet verizon will be the last to update to jb. By then key lime will be out. Rumor has it, it may be announced this november with a few new nexus devices. The cycle just never ends.

VZW has a different definition of 'coming', and esp of 'soon'

It's hard to be patient for newer better operating systems. But I'm loving cleanrom 2.5 and the Google now mod I found here on xda. This phone runs well on pics so I'm hoping jb by Xmas.

Yep. Apparently the ota is coming later as in 2013. Thanks Verizon. Love you cyanogen
Sent from my SCH-I535

Does it really matter? It'll look just like ICS with the same fugly touchwiz all over it. Maybe it'll scroll a little smoother. The only other important addition (google now) we can add already.
JB is such a tiny update I don't see what everyone is getting so worked up about.

Yep, I've already downoaded the Canadian TWRP (since ATT doesn't have one yet) and Slim Bean 4.2.2.
Just waiting on the hack to be released. Dude isn't holding it back for just nothing I'm sure. Prolly is making sure it works consistently on all phones before releasing.
The thing about software hacks... just because it works on one model of phone, doesn't mean it won't break another phone of the SAME model. Stuff like that happens all the time.
Btw, thanks a lot. Now I have three freakin threads on Bootloader that I have to keep refreshing all day.

Very important PSA!

DO NOT ACCEPT OTA UPDATES!
if you like to hack and mod that is. If ralekdev and other devs find an exploit for boot loader unlock chances are it will be in the release firmware. Remember Loki on the S4. How many of you still have that?

Sold that MDK S4 just last week for $400.. Makes a device valuable at Swappa
Edit: to be clear, having firmware that is unlockable is valuable.

I wish I could be done with VZW. Wish wish wish.. I just need the the coverage. I'm so tired of them. The only time I have to deal with them is when I have exchange a defected device.. Which happens every time I buy one but it's enough. I pay $90 a month for unlimited data/txt and 450 minutes. So I'm happy about that. Oh yeah, I deal with them when I want control of my device. They don't want me (or anyone) to have it.

The only update I've ever dealt with was last year with my S4 when it upgraded from the MDK baseband. I don't remember the original one, but I remember I lucked out big time and when I ruined my phone and got a new one when I turned it on it basically almost immediately did an OTA to which I put in airplane mode to stop. Now I'm not 100% sure but I don't remember having to click yes or OK for that OTA

But if people have already accepted OTA before now, they are OK, right? Because this exploit is very new so I doubt it would've been fixed before that. The first fix I see for linux was on June 4th and I have no idea how that translates to phone OTAs

Most likely you are correct. The OTA they have been pushing is older so it's likely that the exploit will still work. I wouldn't accept any at all however if you can avoid it. I'd imagine they'll push the patch for this soon.

How do we know if our phones have the update already? I got a new s5 and have had zero Ota pop up since I got it 3 weeks ago.
