[Q] StraightTalk Needs Android Upgrade.. Help.. PLEASE - General Questions and Answers

My boyfriend has a samsung galaxy s3. It was originally a sprint phone, which is now flashed over to be used on straight talk. HE got it flashed a couple years ago I believe... so most of the settings and stuff are completely outdated.
This is what is in the ABOUT PHONE section:
The Peoples ROM GS316
BUILD NUMBER: JZO54K.L710VPBMD4
ANDROID VERSION: 4.1.2
MODEL NUMBER: SPH-L710
BASEBAND VERSION: L710VPUCMK3
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.69-KT747-g256c7b3
[email protected]#1
SMP PREEMPT Fri May 3
21:14:27 MST 2013
HARDWARE VERSION: L710.14
so... I was wondering how I can update his Android to something newer.
I am kinda a beginner when it comes to ROMS and KERNELS and stuff...
Do I have to Flash something? What do I use? WHats the best ROM to use? Sorry, but if someone can maybe explain it step by step or maybe send me to the right place where I can read the steps on how to do all this...
How can i do all this, hopefully without erasing anything on his phone? or if that is impossible... then how do I do it?
Please, any help and info is greatly appreciated.

Korean Samsung Galaxy S II with Tegra Kernel..Custom Roms possible?

Hi Im new to this forum but I hope people will still help me
Well, like the title says, i got a korean galaxy s II rooted with tegrak kernel. I rooted by flashing siyah kernel first, but because the phone did not boot, i flashed tegrak kernel after that. Now, i havent really seen any confirmation for custom roms to work on the tegrak kernel and i dont want to risk to brick my phone... so..does anyone actually know if its possible and if yes, does the person also know HOW to do it? I searched for it in the internet but i didnt find anything..(i should mention that im not too good at korean..so i couldnt search for it on korean :0)

[Q] Want to update HTC ONE but im rooted.

Hey there,
I want to update my phone to 4.3 soon. How can i install the update? Do i need to unroot?
Ive tried different guides to unroot but they all need an ruu to restore to stock. If someone can provide me instructions or help me i would appreciate it very much.
Btw in a noob lol. I also followed a tutorial on youtube (user flamingairo) that used supersu and twrp to root.

[Q] My Samsung Galaxy SII LTE SGH-I727R needs help

Hi All,
I'm new for this forum and need some help if I could get someone in this forum know how to fix my problem.
Here is the story:
I bought an used SII SGH-I727R few months ago and it's unlocked. I have a plan under Mobilicity (Canada). everything was fine until last week when I decided to upgrade my android to Jelly Bean (and I did) and now I the phone doesn't work with my SIM card anymore (I borrowed my friend's SIM card under Telus to plug it in and it works!). Something telling me that I screwed my radio freq (band) settings.
Here is the old spec:
Android: 4.0.4
Baseband: T989DTLLE4
Kernel: 3.0.8
Build: IMM76D.UCLF6
PDA: I727UCLF6
CSC:I727ATTLF6
IC:649E-SGHI727
and here is the new spec:
PDA: I727RUXUMA7
Phone: I727RUXUMA7
H/W: Rev 1.0
RF call date: 2012.06.10
CSC: I727ROYAMA7
I did try a lot of radio zip file in this forum and use cwm to install them but none works, If someone here has experience and know exactly what I need to do to make my phone work with Mobilicity again, I would really appreciate or even bring back to the old version/setup will make me happy too.
Thanks in advance
