Hello Glory,
here is a guide for how to flash a new firmware to your device.
In this Q&A section of your device you can post your question about the wifi tethering issue.
Maybe it will be fixed by flashing a new firmware automatically.
General information:
For wifi tethering your phone needs to be connected with the internet via your mobile carrier ... so your mobile contract must cover this mobile data option.
My tapatalk signature:
Phone: SGS5 (SM-G900F)
ROM: Stock G900FXXU1ANE2
Kernel: CF-Auto-Rooted stock G900FXXU1ANE2
Recovery: PhilZ-touch
If you have any question about or any issue with your SGS2, just ask in the New members friendly Q&A thread.
If you need general help/assistence, please go to XDA-Assist.

ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621678
I have the SGH-T989D (Telus variant of the Samsung Galaxy S2) Running 4.0.3, Rooted.
I am basically wondering if this ROM will work with my device and will everything in the ROM be compatible and work properly in my phone. I am very new to rooting and installing custom roms, so if you have any tips or cautions please let me know. Thanks
*Also is this the best, most stable Cyanogenmod for my device currently, Do you have any reccomendations for ROMS on my device and what would be the best choice for battery life, speed, etc?
If any further information about my device, carrier, what I used to root my device, etc., is needed please let me know and I would be happy to elaborate on what you need.
Posting this in the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II Q&A might get you better answers. This is a general XDA discussion forum.

Mostly everything works just a couple of things I need help fixing. My home doesn't have any functionality, and the play store says "Service Error Retry" ... Please Help, thanks.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Showcase on Straight Talk, I've been trying to find a thread on how to get it rooted but haven't had any luck so far. It's running
Hardware Version: S950C.01
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
if anyone could lead me in the right direction or has the information on hand I would be very grateful with assistance, and so would everyone else with the same phone. It is a sub-par phone stock, and I would like it to run a bit better.
Thank you in advance XDA!

I successfully rooted a Samsung Galaxy S Showcase on Straight Talk using the method in this link, but be warned there is no support and no custom roms that can be flashed to this phone. It works great if you just want to root it, but if you are wanting to root so that you can install a custom rom, then I wouldn't waste my time.
I cannot post outside links unfortunately, but google search "rooting samsung galaxy showcase" and there is a guide on rootzwiki
This rom will get your phone back up and running!!
!!WARNING!!
I'm not responsible or liable for anything that may happen to your phone if you download and install this firmware!
This is a WORK IN PROGRESS!!!
Please feel free to help me make this rom better!
P.S.
This is not a STOCK ROM I was lucky enough to build one from parts and pieces of other stock firmware's that are available for download. Only use this rom if you turned your SM-S820L into a $120.00 bookmark!. As of right now there is no Stock firmware for this device and lots of other straight talk phones also.

Forgive me, but I don't know where to start on this forum. I can't post to the Samsung area, because the policies prohibit me from doing so. I just found out that I had originally posted to the new development area, and so I am re-posting. Sorry!
I have an old Galaxy S3 Sprint phone SPH-L710 that is running android 4.4.2 . I'd like to upgrade it to something more useful. The first thing I tried was to load an app called TEXTNOW but it requires at least android 5.0 . Apparently Sprint stopped upgrading android, as I can't find any android above 4.4.2 .
Can anyone point me to an android update to 5.0 or better? If not, can you suggest a custom rom that would be useful for this phone? Since it's an old clunker, I don't mind taking a chance that Odin might brick it. Right now, it pretty much sits on the shelf gathering dust. If I could get 5.0 or perhaps some custom rom, I might be able to load some useful apps.
Thank you in advance for your time and efforts in replying to this post.
hello professionals, first of all I hope I wrote in the right section, well, while emptying some boxes at home I found an old samsung SGH-i997 At&T, I turn it on it works well with the Android version 2.3.6 UCLB3 Kernel 2.6.35.7-i997UCLB3-CL977492 (Rooted), except that it no longer has access to google services, I searched in this forum on all topics but almost all the links are dead. do you have any news concerning the compatible CMs or if there is anything better? and if I can flash it without going through a computer? just in recovery mode? your answers are welcome! I want to use on this phone Waze and Spotify.. etc
