I have my S4 being ordered from a GSM shop here in Europe but my question is, what do I do to get the stock Android on there once I have the phone? Do I need to do the whole ROOTING and the ClockWorkMod flashing ROM process? That was a huge pain for me and failed when I attempted to install 4.2.2 on my Motorola defy phone...
Hopefully adding the stock Android would be as simple as just installing from the Google Play store.
Thanks!

alright so i had one of my friends who has the vibrant on tmobile help me root and install darkys rom on my phone. since i had no idea i just let him do it since he has it on his phone. we rooted it use the onesuperclick. we took off the bloatwear and then put the rom on the sd card loaded it up in recovery and did the recovery then installed it. my phone hard bricked. nothing comes up or no download mood nothing even when pluged. but no worries i just send it to tmobile. but i wanna know if anyone can give me a guide to do this step by step so it dosent happen again when i get my phone back. thanks
The vibrant roms do not work on the 4g....until they are ported to 4g with the proper mods made to the rom they will cause a brick everytime

1. no matter how much it looks like it, the s4g isn't a vibrant. there are as of yet no custom roms available.
2. people like you and your friend are the reason carriers and manufacturers are going towards more restrictive ability to root and signed/encrypted bootloaders
theirs no roms for the 4g?

Really though, when carriers stop insuring phones, this will be the reason why....

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......

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....
any roms yet for sgh-i497
Quick question..I have searched high and low for custom roms for my sgh-i497. Are we still waiting?
Thanks for the replies

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://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-ta...-for-galaxy-tab-10-1-and-tab-2-android-4-2-2/
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...
