Be nice if it would come to USA soon.

The latest leak in the thread below is quite probably the final ICS that will be released as OTA. You can install it if you're not afraid of having to get back to 2.3.6, if necessary.

Yeah, i am using the 672.1.17 version. So just waiting for the final OTA. This version is consuming lots of battery

Version 18 is the latest one...which will probably be the OTA. No battery issues for me. Try it.

Official: Jelly Bean for the GT 7 Plus coming in the next weeks

Samsung has just made the announcements, and among the listed devices is the 7 Plus.
This time around they have promised a faster deployment than with ICS, saying it's coming to all these devices "within the next weeks".
Great news =)

He said "Next weeks" with an S, not week. :silly:

impossible you say? I would bet ours devs.. given full samsung source, binaries, blobs etc, working full time, could build official JB in a matter of days. Testing does take time though.
Id bet on before February from Samsung.

just like sammy siad we will get ics,
i am living in South Africa and we all did not get ics.
i had to root my tab and flash open austria firmware.
i will do it again when open austria jelly bean firmware is out.

i'm not sure what you mean by "every firmware has a kernel...counter" thingy. i've flashed more than three times using odin, and my flash count is still 0. i think that it will only count if you flashed a custom firmware. just my thought though

What i want to said is, u dont need root for flahing firmware via odin and dont take hard way and use mobile odin...and it will not count up ur binary...believe me..this is not 1st time im using android and flashing firmware...tab plus is my tenth android device lol...

I am predicting a late January test build showing up on SamMobile with a OTA of late Feb or March.
I base this on the historical release rhythm for Samsung tablets and the P62xx series.

probably, i hope by late january or early febuary we could get at least one jellybean build for p6200. the blobs might help a little for cm10(or 10.1 by that time), but i don't know how much it will help, perhaps the video playing problem could be solved, and maybe a smoother "buttery" jellybean.

Yes the libraries and kernel would help with other ROMs, but I want the stock version unless someone adds IR blaster support to CM10.

No yet about it, Google aren't hosting factory images for the GPe phones, that's up to Samsung & HTC

We've had the JWR66V build floating around for a while now though. So i'm assuming this build will offer nothing new.

If that was the case wouldn't the build be different? The build on the nexus 4 had the same build as the 4.3 "leak". I would assume a finished build would differentiate itself from a leak build by the build number.

I really hope it arrives soon, I wonder will the "Factory GE" image work with the i9505? (Sorry not very clued up on such matters)
Thanks.

We won't get it until after the Nexus 7 is released in "the coming weeks", then the Nexus 4, and then Tue GES4. 2 months is probably a good guess and I'd be pleased with that.

The images are already up for existing Nexus devices, and I believe the source code is available. I can't think of any reason to wait.

Do we have the 4.2.2 factory images for the GPE yet? I've not been able to find them if we do. Right now I've got 4.2.2 with TWRP installed and really didn't think that through about how to get stock recovery back to flash any OTA. I hope they at least give us a factory image for 4.3. Come on, Samsung....

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.

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.

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

Hey
Great. This is only a few hours old. I've been working in my garden. But why 4.4.2?
I crack myself up. They should have released 4.4.3. Never mind, now I just need a dump and some updated sources.
About your problem; this is Samsung in a nutshell, but I'll do my best to release a 4.4.2 kernel and system as soon as I can. Hopefully I'll be able to make it compatible with 4.2.2 and 4.3 bootloaders.
Stay tuned.

According to SamMobile, Samsung has ignored our device. True, but why?
Ok, this is my personal opinion. The GT-I9506 is outstanding, making it a direct threat to the Galaxy S5. As you know, the S5 features a Snapdragon S801...just an overclocked S800. No magic in that. I can do the same, well to be honest...I already did for my own phone. It's a piece of cake to overclock. But the fact is, do we need it? For myself; nice to have but not need to have.
I'm pretty sure that we can do the same as the S5, and even more. But with the new S805, we WILL loose, no doubt about that.
Stay tuned guys, the game is about to begin.
