I spent way too much time reading through the threads so i thought i make a thread for future users that are trying to update to 4.3.
I am not sure of the reasons why it has stopped but i was offered the update 2 days ago but today no after how many times i try it keeps saying i am uo to date,
Please go here for this discussion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498897

Just wondering but why are there like 3 threads for phones that aren't even out yet in the US yet some phones don't have anything for weeks after release date?
ex. Motorola Bionic doesn't come out for another few months and it has a thread with multiple discussions in it, yet the Thrill (optimus 3D) has been out for almost a week, didn't have a thread started for 2 days after release date, and there isn't anything really in there but three discussions.?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Developers can get phones early, could be one reason as to why this is. Also, they may just be prepping the forum for when they are released just in case if they cant do it when the phone actually comes out, the thread wont be put on late. Its better to be early then late.
T/u that makes enough sense....it seems att is too proprietary because their devices almost always seem to have late threads

It depends upon the magnitude of speculation a device receives. If you know what I'm talking about, Nexus Prime, SGSII.
On a side note, why don't you start with such a thread?
Well the reason that there was a thread for the Bionic was because it was originally supposed to come out around the same time as the Atrix was released so a section was put up for it around that time, but because it was scrapped and redesigned, the section just sat there.

Saw this on Android Central, with link to Motorola. https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c Updated 12/6/12. Atrix 2 not on JB update. I don't venture here too much but didn't see an immediate thread with the update so thought I would pass on. I think most knew it wasn't going to happen when they rolled out the Trade Up program.
Disregard, thought 12/6/12 update made it "official". Mods please delete my clutter.

Please search next time before posting a new thread.
Late yesterday afternoon I received 4.1.1 JB on my Verizon S3. I had read here & kept up with Drippler, etc., & had zero idea to expect it.
Anyone else get it shoved in their phone(s) yet, let alone yesterday?
My phone is 100% box stock, ... never even tried to fuss with root or anything like I used to with my HTCs.
Thanks, folks.

Ya considering it was available about 2 weeks ago via OTA.
In all seriousness, this is/was not a bogus, troll-like thread ... I did look around to keep track of Verizon's BS about being the last, or near-last, to release JB ... Therefore when I did get it, I was shocked, & wanted to reach out to folks on XDA that I knew would be snotty about my OP.
Thanks for keeping the hope alive.

Hi..
I got lucky and received a new phone from TMO's insurance to replace the one I took for a swim in a hot tub. The only downside is having to start from scratch to root/unlock/etc everything.
Since I last did these things in May, 2012 (with SuperCID/S=off a few months ago), I had forgotten the steps and came here to XDA. I wasn't going to post this since I figured I would just try and look around for the threads I originally used, but when I went to the stickied root thread in the Development section, the first link (for fastboot files) was dead...
So... hoping to avoid a lot of time chasing down dead file links (and since there have been a lot of changes since that original thread such as the ability to get S=off), I thought I'd just ask if there are any recent purchasers of the HTC 1S or anyone who is in my situation, and if they knew of a better/updated thread with all of the steps from unlock through S=off....or even (if someone could be so kind) just give me a list the steps they followed and an approximate location as to where to find the necessary files.
Thanks a lot!
Paul
This is just pure laziness.. There's always Google which has helped me a lot when it came to dead links.
The hansoon toolkit link still works.
You can always Google for the android fast boot files which I did last week.
I just recently s-offed my device without running into any dead links...
In other words: keep looking.

I don't expect anyone to hold my hand—I only inquired if there was an updated thread.
Of course I realize that I could Google everything if there was any reason for that (like, for instance, if this phone was only released 2 weeks ago), but since people have been doing these things for quite awhile now, I wondered if someone had compiled an updated thread and further, I also had reasonable expectations that there might be one since so much as changed.
If not, I know that after chasing down dead links and spending 5x the time it would otherwise take if there had been a thread which had a clear, integrated/comprehensive list of steps for unlocking, rooting, recovery, flashing a custom Rom, getting SuperCID, and getting S=off, then I would certainly make one after I completed everything.
Why should anyone have to repeat all that mindless work of searching down multiple websites, forum threads, and posts if someone else has already done it? That's crazy. I guess you or others don't share in that attitude.
I did all steps a week ago...and again yesterday for a friends phone...every link on the supercid, s-off, unlock and root topics works as of yesterday.
just pure laziness

I am waiting for it....till then you might link my post.
Many previous Samsung flagship phones have had TERRIBLE user experiences with new major Android releases. My S7 (Exynos on Tmobile) has been prompting me to download and install Android 7, and I don't want to! Not while I'm not convinced it's gonna be a worse experience over the now smooth Android 6 it is currently running. My last phone was the S4, and the upgrade from Android 4 to 5 was terrible for everyone. I ran a Danvd 4.4.4 and that's about as good as it got for the S4.
I also don't trust Google to get any major Android revision right until Android x.1 Not gonna be a Google beta tester for my daily driver!
So, I am looking around here to see if there is any discussion about the upgrade from Android 6 to Android 7, from Samsung, and I'm a bit surprised to not see one.
Am I missing something?
So does everyone love Android 7.0 or should folks be waiting for Android 7.1 ?
You're not looking very far if you can't find any discussion about Nougat 7.0, that's just about all people are discussing now
If you don't like it, flash back to MM with ODIN
Nougat is IMO quicker and more optimised than MM now, better settings UI, better in just about everything, I flashed back to MM a while ago and didn't enjoy it one little bit, big clunky and childish compared to Nougat
one response with a bit of snark..... so... you don't know then, right? thanks.
Not looking to root, so flashing Nougat for a try and then flashing back is not possible.
This would specifically be a topic on accepting the factory upgrade to Nougat from Marshmallow; where most of the opinions here about Nougat are discussed in threads about custom ROMs.
In years past, this specific kind of discussion would have its own thread. Hunting for opinions on this throughout 100s of threads is just not going to work.
One snarky response because of the retarded question
Go read some threads, you obviously haven't

You are an asshole. Already did plenty of looking around, and there are no threads to facilitate discussion on how well received the general rollout is. You don't understand the ask, so just move along if you don't like a question.
For those interested:
Here is some pertinent stuff. It's mostly beta discussion.... Feb rollout by around post count 80
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/samsung-s7-nougat-final-ota-t3532213
The usual stuff: Not much love at all for Samsung's Nougat rollout. Lot's of reports of annoying bugs, bad batter life, etc.
Also, there is some better discussions about the wide Nougat rollouts in US-carrier-specific sub-forums.

My attitude mirrors that of the person I am talking to, take a look in the mirror.
Dude, STFU! What are you, 12 years old? I asked some simple questions, and you started right out with your juvenile ****. grow up!
Moderators, could you please close and remove this useless thread? Thanks to this asshat!
Dude? And you're calling me 12? lmao
Next time you start a thread, make sure you've read a few first
You wonder why no-one else has replied here, why your thread isn't a huge hit? Because it is attempting to start a subject being discussed all over the S7 forums in multiple threads already, but you would have known that if you'd read a few first.
You really think you can come late in the game to a forum as huge as XDA, to the busy S7 forums, where MM has been already upgraded to Nougat for most people, and think you are going to be the first to start a thread about MM vs Nougat?
Those sort of threads started at the beginning of the Nougat beta programme last year
Come on 'dude', even if you couldn't be bothered to look, you could have worked out for yourself that wasn't going to be the case.
I guess your description of this thread being useless is correct though, so congrats on that :good:
