Hey guys, the Samsung Galaxy S III is finally coming to US Cellular this Thursday and/or Friday.
This is the official thread for the US Cellular variant of the phone.
We will discuss mods, flashing, rooting, and etc.
In for my 2 friends on USCC whose phones I'll be rooting (for tether). Hopefully it won't be locked like VZW.

It won't, I spoke with a US Cellular representative today and it's where I got the release date and other details.
The thing is, that the phone does have a lot of similarities with Verizon, so the devs have 2 options.
They can make one for US Cellular and edit it for Verizon.
But as Verizon is a larger carrier, they'll probably get the Developer's edition of the phone and then at some point make a root for the US Cellular version.
You think that CyanogenMod 9 or 10 will be supported for the USC variant?

There's no reason why not.
As far as root, the CWM flash method has worked on all variants thus far, I don't see why it won't work on the USCC phone.
I am switching this fall when my contract is up in Verizon to US Cellular. What will the dev scene look like on this phone? Will it be easy to port ROMs from other GS3? If there are very few devs working on this phone, how easy is it for a end user to port the ROM from another GS3?
since I already have a mini sim and a lTE acount thats active, from my Galaxy Nexus on verizon, can I just pay cash for the us cellular version and plug in my active sim and it will work?

Well, there are already people getting the phone today, but I know that past phones like the Mesmerize and the Aviator have been Cyanogenmod supported, and Root supported.
Do you happen to know which carrier US Cellular has the most similarities to?

The US Cellular variant of the Galaxy S II shared a lot of similarities with the Epic4G Touch.
Well, as US Cellular is finally starting to grow, I've seen a lot of developers for AOKP and CM9 discussing the possibilities of ROMs by making it for the 4G Touch, and just porting it over by changing a few things.
I can't answer that last question as I really have no idea on porting ROMs, but as I said in another post, it's either closer to Verizon or Sprint.
But for the S II, I've seen a few threads that it was very easy, but that they just had to change a few things, so I'm assuming that it's not that much of a hassle.

I've tried Googling that but I can't seem to find an answer.
Some answers say yes some say no, but I think that US Cellular has more similarities to Verizon than any other carrier, at least that's my speculation in terms of radios, as they both use the same spectrum.
But you can go to the website and go to a live chat with a representative and ask there.
Has anyone rooted this phone yet? Can we get our own section?
Bump for a fellow U.S. Cellular S3 owner. Would love to see it rooted.

The instructions at galaxys3root.com works for US Cellular.
So it is confirmed that this phone has an unlocked bootloader?
Has anyone tried and can verify on U.S. Cellular that they have used galaxys3root.com and it worked?
this phone can be rooted with the method that team epic uses for the sprint version. I dunno what the website you're talking about does but it is the same method as it is with all the other carriers.
I would love to see a separate section for us, no we aren't gonna have a whole lot of development going on compared to the big 4 but it would be really nice to have a place where we can have specific discussions and rom ports and things for just us.

Does anyone know if a verizon mini sim will work in this device?
Yes that site just has a set by step guide for installing the Team Epic recovery using ODIN and it worked on my US Cellular Galaxy S III.
Seconded on the separate forum idea. I think there will be more than enough people to have one. I know a lot of people is moving to this from the Desire and that had a decent sized community.
Successful root using teamepics procedure.
Agree with vex and all the rest. A separate forum for USCC GS3 owners would be wonderful.
Who would we contact to get a separate section?
I am having trouble deciding. Since you guys know already. I ask you.
It's between a galaxy nexus and the galaxy SIII.
Carrier might be either verizon or sprint depending on when I can get LTE.
Is there another phone I should consider?

SGS3, personally I like the Galaxy Nexus more (for the ROMs and development and soft buttons) but SGS3 specs are just better.

Closed, wrong section
Please read and search before posting
So my issue with my phone is extremely complicated. I had an account with ATT last year but I canceled my plan with them after my ex broke my phone which caused me to get a new phone and they charged me way more than they said. So just recently I went to get the screen fixed. Now that its fixed, I have forgot what the pin is. Here is where it gets tricky. My phone is not linked to findmymobile nor is it linked to my google AND USB debugging is not on the phone. I really dont want to do a hard reset because I need the messages for court issues with custody/divorce. IF I have to do a hard reset, is there a way to obtain all my lost data? incudling apps because I had to use SMS Backup to move my messages on here because my phone slowed down from so many messages.

Hey guys,
For the one's who own an AT&T S7 Edge and are interested in the unrealeased Nougat update, please look at this thread. This is only for the AT&T model, not for international or other models.
As I created that forum in the AT&T S7's forum, I tought it was a good idea to let you guys in this forum know, as it will not appear in this forum.
I only know how to find updates on an AT&T phone, so for users of a Verizon, Vodafone, Sprint, T-Mobile or other providers phone, sorry I can't help you, you have to search for other threads about updates, sorry. But I hope I can help AT&T users.
New to xda and adroid alike. I have several devices and not just android so i have a proposition. List of devives at end. If someone can walk me through the complete process of rooting and installing custom roms and everything else step by step from beginning to end on one of my devices then i would offer one of the others up for trial purposes as long as whoever tries their very best not to brick it as warranty will be out the window of course. Almost all are still under warranty and most are rather expensive.
The at&t s7 edge is what i would like to root but may be better if i learn on something more practical and less expensive. I am pretty open EXCEPT the to s7's are off limits u til i am positive whoever may take me up on this knows exactly what they are doing. I really dont need any bricks as my house is wood and vinyl.
Here is what i have from cheapest up at least in what i see in them.
Digiland dl701q 4.4.2

An old htc1 somewhere
*iphone 6s
*ipad mini 2
As you can see i have a couple and always picking up others if i can get a deal on them. The s7's i think i want to wait on unless i can find some spares reasonably priced but just about any of the rest should be fair game depending. Like i said teach me, and experiment all at the same time. If there are more than one person/people that want to take me up on this then maybe we can work something out or ill just have to choose which to do. Endgame is to be able to without hesitation be confident enough to pick up any android and do whatever is possible with it, i mean isnt that what androids are all about?
