[AT&T] [SGH_i497] Jelly Bean? Anyone?

Am i the only one on planet earth that owns this tablet? This is terrible... Ive got my choice of 2 or 3 ROMs, all of which are ICS stock. Is anyone developing for this thing?

Unlike the wifi version, the carrier versions are different. We just got a dev to make a deoxidized one.

Work is going slow, but thanks to this, the owners of the i497 can now restore the ones that they messed up trying other roms.

I appreciate the response. This is the ROM that im running at the moment. Lol. Nice, but I'd really enjoy some different mods. Ive got CWM with really nothing fun to flash. Kind of a bummer.

I'm with you. I just bought one of these with my s4. I was shocked that it didn't come with jellybean already on it, even more shocked to find out there aren't even any jellybean ROMs available for it. I don't care for ICS at all. CyanogenMod has a 4.2.2 rom for the tab 2 10.1 GSM, I'm trying to find out if it will work for the AT&T unit, but probably not.

The thing is, you got to have a starting point. And this is it, more will probably come later. Spread the word on this ROM, push it into other forums on the 10.1, maybe other Devs will see that there is a need for it, and maybe try porting a JB rom to it. :fingers-crossed:

I check daily and can't wait for a JB rom the LTE tab 2 is a great device that seems to be in the shadows

Samsung just announced Note 3 with 4.3. Probably they have 4.3 working on it and now have all the enough resources to make it available on the S4 and S3

From past experience, it'll probably take longer.

Pleas o pleas longer battery life and more performance..

They really need to do something about the responsiveness. I hate to admit it but LG's G2 phone (and Optimus G) is (are) snappy as hell even though the OS is heavily animated. Samsung needs to step there game up and speed those sluggish animations up and improve the overall smoothness/responsiveness. Hopefully the upcoming 4.3 update will improve those points because animations are too damn laggy for a Snapdragon 600 phone.

Will that be with the new locked bootloader?

You should root. Can't say the same about custom ROM. I would never wait for 4.3 fyi.

What's wrong with a ROM?

by that time 4.4 will hit at least beta stage...

Help finding stock rooted 4.4.2 rom??

As stated above. Maybe I am too early but can not seem to find one. Thought it was released now from Verizon.
On the ml baseband with Scots clean rom 8.1.
Also wondering if someone can see if the new ART vm is in it. Sure would put some sand back into this aging phone.

Does not exist yet on Verizon. We're still on 4.3 TouchWiz officially with no leaks for KitKat.

Ok. Must have misunderstood some news. Was surprised anyways.
Is there others besides verizon. Maybe ported. Just asking because I need some Samsung specific features and the 4.3 rom rom is giving problems.

KitKat ROMs would probably give you even more problems because until Verizon releases KitKat we are stuck on the jelly bean kernel. Well that is if you took the update I just assumed you did.

Dude I hate to be the burden of bad news but I doubt it will ever be unlocked on kk with VZW. It's a nice idea but sadly no devs are willing to give this a shot. I kind of don't blame them. VZW will screw us all over rather than let us do what we want to the devices we have

You don't have to be a dev to give it a shot. There's a couple non-devs taking a look at the bootloader and stuff. Just picking at it. Seeing what does what. Who knows. It could happen.

I'm a pretty amateur dev when it comes to android. I have this phone and its killing me that no one has even tried to do anything about this in recent months, I seriously want to try a software mod for this horridly annoying dilemma before doing an emmc replacement. If I'm not mistaken loki project failed yes?

You're not going to get an unlocked bootloader unless you have a mole inside Verizon or Samsung. , but I am surprised that no one has created a safe strap method for this device.

I thought there is one in developers section. Am I missing something?

You are missing something, unless you are on the 4.3 locked bootloader , there is a 4.4.2 beta safestrap but no official build and very few ROMs.

If they have used the same method as they did for the S4, Note 3 and S5 then it is very doubtful you will get an unlock method as SRDs and RDs have tried to unlock them with no success. You should consider either changing carrier or changing to a phone that is unlocked or can be unlocked. I doubt there is enough hackers to send a proper message to Verizon because the locked bootloader combined with Knox is attractive to the Exchange customers consisting of the military and corporate America...big bucks for big Red.

Completely agree.
Development is essentially dead on the S3 if you are on 4.4. Safestrap isn't even an attractive option because you can't run a rom without the 4.4 stock kernel. You have to rely on only touchwiz roms running kitkat only. Not too many developers are going to be around who would develop such a rom. This is also unique to the Verizon variant, which makes it particularly difficult for other developers from different variants trying to help out. Extremely annoying.
There are huge bounty threads for the S5 and S4 threads trying to get bootloader unlocked. I guarantee that capable devs are trying everything they can, but bootloader hacking is expensive and difficult as a lot of hardware or low level exploits can irreversibly hard brick a phone. Devs usually only have one phone, and simply can't afford to guess on the correct exploit to prevent an irreversible brick.
For example, the devs who unlocked the bootloader on the HTC m8 said they burnt through some phones in order to get the bootloader unlocked. They never said exactly how many phones, but I certainly believe them. To pay for the cost of the devices, they are charging $25 per device for their sunshine app to unlock the bootloader . You could agree with this approach or not, but considering how expensive and dangerous the process is I think the cost is completely justified. Plus it keeps them making exploits continuously throughout the life of the device.
I think a lot of people just think that these exploits aren't as dangerous as they actually are. As a comparison, achieving root has way less of a chance of bricking a device so 1 phone per developer is enough. It's simply looking for a way to inject a file in the system partition, and if it fails then nothing happens. Unlocking a bootloader is a completely different story, and something that takes an immense amount of research and understanding before an unlocking is even attempted. If you miss with a bootloader exploit, then that phone is gone, JTAG won't even fix it.

Yeah, I think we only have a few options at this point:
1. Stay on 4.3 TW and keep an unlocked BL
2. AOSP 4.4 and keel ublcked BL
3. Lock your device with 4.4 TW
4. Ditch VZW.
Id be shocked if his phone gets unlocked for all of the reasons peoole have stated above. I think people forget that this devoce was only unlocked to begin with due to a leak -- the original security was never cracked and it has only gotten more difficult. Maybe if it was 2 years ago we would have a shot, but it is looking more and more like the ship has sailed.
#4 is looking better and better.

Well here's some good news.
Dan Rosenberg released a proof of concept tz exploit that works on a myriad of devices.
The s3 isn't listed, but it might work on it anyway. Keep looking in the s4 forums for an exploit to come out soon. It definitely won't work on the s5.
If you guys are lucky, the s4 exploit will work on the S3. Don't take any system updates from Verizon until this is ironed out, could mean an unlocked bootloader for everybody.

#1 is correct. Check the S3 android development section and you will find several ROMs based on 4.3 ML1. If you had an unlocked bootloader on 4.1.2, you could flash one of these ROMs and keep the unlocked bootloader. As long as you didn't take the OTA to 4.3 ML1, your bootloader was still unlocked. Before I switched to an S5, my S3 was running the latest wicked sensations ROM based on 4.3 ML1, and my bootloader was still unlocked.

S5 is great. Noticeable difference over the S3. Overall size is pretty close to the S3, but the screen size is noticeably bigger. And the screen is so much brighter, crisper, clearer, and more vibrant. Battery life with the S5 blows the S3 away. 2800 mAh battery instead of a 2100 mAh battery, and the radios must be better also because I actually get a signal in my office when I never got one on the S3. Pictures on the camera seem to be much better, especially when using the "beauty" feature. I haven't even rooted it because everything is working so well.

As far as a radio you can update to the latest modem if you'd like which is NE1 without having any issues. I've ran tons of roms on my old S3 but the best by far was slimkat. It's truly up to you what you want but your best bet is to read others opinions
