DONT WANT A BRICK? Check here - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.

I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

I bricked my device
Flashed a wrong Kernel of the other S3 Variant, now I suffer a Black screen of death and cannot access DMode with the 3 button combo.
Can someone tell me if a JIG will get me out of this mess ??? Or do I have to send it in to a JTAG service
**The LED light shows up, and when I plug the device in the computer reads it as a "QHUSB_DLOAD"**
Any help would be appreciated ....

I had to replace my device at that point; You're only able to access the Qualcomm download mode right now and unless someone has made a full rip of the AT&T/Rogers/Telus/Bell software using the Qualcomm tools, you're probably SOL. Not to mention that it's apparently very hard to find the Qualcomm download tools.

It went a little something like this:
Me: I bought this earlier today and while I was setting up my Google account, it froze up and I had to pull the battery to get it unfrozen. Now it won't turn on and I just get a red light when I plug it in.
Sales Rep: Well maybe it's just a bad battery... < Tries another battery > Nope, that's not it....
< I sit in silence trying not to smile about the fact that they're about to replace a device I busted. >
Sales Rep: Well, I guess we can just send it back as a DOA unit, here's a replacement. < Swaps out SIM + SD and gives me the new phone >

It was actually quite painless lol Don't worry about them noticing you modded it; If all you can get is the Qualcomm download mode, they'll have to do a complete wipe of the phone to get it to boot, they'll never see your attempted mod.

I almost flashed an international ROM!
Maybe if there weren't TWO different forums for the International and US variants it would be easier to see....
I just did a search for Galaxy S III in the forum and first thing was apparently the international version. Just have one GS3 forum and separate sub forums for each variant.

thats the problem that is rampant in xda....
people need to slow down, stop being so excited and take a minute to actually get their bearings and UNDERSTAND what they are doing.
it seems so many people think this is all just child's play and nothing bad could possibly happen. as we have seen over the years, nothing could be further from the truth.
as android grows in popularity, so does the noobery, even though they are warned, they will still ignore the warnings and rules.
this is my favorite XDA post of all time and sums it all up:

self-proclaiming yourself as a noob will get you nowhere, everyone is responsible for what happens to their devices.

xboarder ICS completion

Apparently xboarder bricked his phone and Samsung wont exchange it therefore he cant develop anymore for the skyrocket but he is open sourcing from where he last left off. Since its being open sourced somebody should look into making a t989 build. It has gsm working I think.

I like howxda has been going down hill because people assume the worst in others. He's making something from scratch and you expectit to be perfect. bricking your phone more than once seems kind of expected when you are working by yourself and testing experimental builds in your own phone. I believe he never purchased a new phone so maybe that is why Samsung is not replacing it.

To be honest im gonna get bashed for this but ill state some things i've notice..I've been following xboarders work since the sensation which he was accused of kanging from the CM team and threw a ***** fit hence the "they dont like me"you guys must of heard from xboarder himself.So he left the sensation community and his rom to kristofpetho i believe or was it melvin,cant remember its been awhile.Then he received a donated amaze 4g and soon enough he was working on asop ics which was never finished..Then lef tthe amaze to work on a donated skyrocket with the same tactics luring ppl to think he's building a asop ics rom..so far nuttin's been finished but a ported sense 3.5 rom for the amaze i think he kanged RC team..I say this because i seen a post NRGZ28 said about it and xboarder quickly replied pm me and that was the end of discussion..The sense 3.5 can be arguable however cause its just speculations of a post i have no real facts if its kanged..I understand he's just a kid and he's working,testing on his own but the facts is there just browse like i said i've been following him since we've had the same phones..I know im not a dev and havent put out anything but im learning and im thankful for the righteous devs that we do have.Just sucks ppl donated to him..This isnt a i hate xboarder post i have nuttin against him i just dont like shady ppl..

He sent back before. He is saying they won't do it again. He says the jtag won't work cause his cpu is dead.
I think the kid hit a wall and doesn't want to admit defeat. Considering, how he was treating the other guys trying to work on ics.
He said he was going to release a 4th preview in a day. That was a week and a half ago. So.. I think it's too hard for him.
Without drivers cyanogen and slayher haven't got an alpha build. So this kid was full of cap from the start.

HTC One X - AT&T Development Model?

Hey guys,
I just bought an HTC One X on ebay and when I got it in the mail today it had all sorts of interesting markings on it. It has the AT&T branding on the top and when I boot up the phone it says "This build is for development purposes only...."
Would this be of any use to community to dump this particular phone?

Updated! Added some bootloader images.
http://imgur.com/a/bomFa
Yeah, make sure you dump other stuff like the hboot, radio, etc.. as well. If you can. Might be of use to other teams trying to get S-OFF.
I hate to ask a stupid question, but how do I do that? If someone is willing to walk me through it, I'll dump anything off the one that anyone needs.
S4 or Tegra?

Hey, might be wise to put this the the general and dev sections of the One XL. Most of the people on that forum are going to be buying the at&t version. This would not only help them but possibly this forum as well. We need to have people from both forums help you out getting the necessary stuff off the phone you scored. So, go ahead and link this thread over there as well.

votecow -- if you are worried about HTC pushing legal issues on you -- you have no reason to be. STAND STRONG. Dont listen to them.
If they try... do not answer the phone or anything -- do not respond to any emails. Do not respond. DO NOT RESPOND. They will try to scare the bejeesus out of you but they have absolutely no legal standing to do so because unless you stole that device off a HTC employed developer, then they have absolutely nothing against you legally.
OK? stand strong.
If you do not want to deal with such crap, feel free to forward whatever crap you get to joshcues at gmail dot com and I will be more than happy to take care of it for you. Of course I will establish a connection with you first before replying to whomever is making such claims.
This is awesome and I love this cat and mouse game we play with the OEM's but sometimes people actually surrender to these OEM's, but from what I have seen of your obtaining the phone and if you have receipt of purchase from whatever seller on EBay - then you have absolutely no reason to be worried. OK?
You are safe as safe can be. HTC's only claim would be against the seller. Not you. Capisce?
Can you post benchmark results like antutu, quadrant, linpack that will be great to see how it does against the quad core one x

Ordered a Galaxy Nexus!

Hey guys! Yesterday I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with a two year contract with Telia (a swedish operator)
I will probably get it by Monday or perhaps Tuesday at most. I am so damn happy!
What should I do when I get it? Root and unlock bootloader? I don't wanna flash ROMs the first thing I do.
I'd say get comfortable with your device and make sure it has no flaws, in case you might need to return it. Then you can root and flash custom roms if you want to.

I've already gotten comfortable with it by reading reviews, watching unboxings and played around with the phone in stores so I probably won't be disappointed with it.
I think it might be delivered with that YAKJUXW build, though, so I'll probably flash Google's factory image of YAKJU. Gonna read up on that once I have the phone.
You won't notice the issues and annoyances until you've had it a while, and even then only if you're as picky as I am lol.
I'd say either leave it stock, locked and unrooted if it works fine for you, and if it doesn't i'd stick AOKP on it as it's brilliant ROM.
Whatever you do, read up. It's easy to root and rom the Galaxy nexus as long as you research what you want to do and how to put it back to normal if you run into issues.

[Q] Root & non At&t ROM for At&t Note 4

Hello,
I am new to Samsung and have a question.
Previously I have been an HTC user, and was able to restore a Developer version (HTC ONE) ROM to a At&t (HTC One) through TWRP.
So is it possible to flash a non At&t STOCK ROM to my At&t Note 4?
And also how would I go about rooting manually. CF-autoroot not available for the At&t version.
Thanks..

@nasvi - you've posted a question in the development section - this is strictly forbidden. The Development section has rules about what can be posted here & the "original development" section is especially sacred in what is allowed...basically, if you didn't "create it," it doesn't belong in development and if you didn't "create it from scratch," it doesn't belong in original development.
I've moved your question to the Q&A section where it should have been posted originally. Please familiarize yourself with the rules link in my signature and adhere to those in the future to avoid future moderator interaction.
Thanks.
@nasvi At this time there is no root or ability to flash anything other than AT&T roms.

Ya, I second that. Should have searched first. ATT = locked bootloader which means no easy root like T-mobile. Note 3 people with Kitkat had to wait 6 months for root. It was a similar wait for the S5. That exploit has been patched so it doesn't work on the Note 3 or Note 4. Expect to wait about 6 months for root.
Meanwhile, a dream team of the devs have moved to the T-mobile Note 4 which is compatible with ATT's network.

No.. I did not..
I was assuming it would be as simple as HTC.
I got my HTC One the first day and within hours had bootloader unlocked and custom recovery installed, nandroid backup done, other non-Att stock ROM installed ( Developer Edition ). But I also had other options like ( Google Play Edition ). Downloaded Straight from official HTCDEV website.
I like the new Note 4 a lot.
But this is BS....
In addition to all the BS... att has removed Download Booster and internet calling options from settings. So I cant register a SIP account on my Note 4... This is just plain stupid...

Not everyone is able to get a t-mobile Note 4 to use on the AT&T network for various reasons. I'm not saying you're asking him to in this particular response, but your song and dance is getting a little old.

Ya, I agree I do feel like I'm beating a dead horse at times but people keep asking the same things. I'm just trying to help and give them the best options they have. Some have unrealistic expectations that root will be here in a week or a month and don't realize what has happened with previous Samsung phones. I saw the complaints, disappointment and $1000's of dollars in bounties in the note 3 and s5 forums and thought I would try and help as early as I could this time. I do feel like it's helped a great deal of people that would have made a mistake otherwise getting an ATT Note 4. Especially when it's so easy to avoid all the problems and have a great phone.
To me it's like buying a car from a dealer that puts a governor stuck at 45mph when you can go to the dealer across the street that lets you use it to the full potential.
I realize some people can't and that's fine. Feel free to ignore me. Thanks!

the problem is that if you want to buy it from the dealer across the street, you'll have to shell out $8xx, which most people cannot do. So they're forced to get the governed 45 mph device instead and hope that someone can help remove it.
I am curious as to whether anyone has even heard about a dev working on root for our AT&T variant. I keep seeing people say that there will be root "at some point" but I am not sure about that. It seems to me that the devs have simply given up on this one. I don't blame them either, I mean why bother with trying to get around locked bootloaders when you can simply move on to another device? I know that there must be someone out there trying if for no other reason than to take on the challenge but if so no one is talking about it.

Ya, I've been in a similar situation before. One thing I did that may help is to sell it on Ebay (swappa is an option too) and then use the money to get the other device. That way you are out very little money.

No worries bro, I'm sorry if my post was too rude. I was just thinking if people are on xda and know a little about root, they either knew what they were getting into buying the AT&T version or they had to buy it for whatever reason.
But I also understand that a lot of people on xda don't know these things sometimes. No harm bro, good luck with this beautiful device!
I'm sure there is a dev out there who would love to conquer what other devs see ass "too much work" I mean it's honestly a good payout. Helps ALOT of people who finally get what they desire out of a device they shelled out alot for....instead of paying a lot for a disappointment a dev out there can solve all of that they can stick it to AT&T for f&#**!& it up for all of us...there is one somewhere...we should all beg hashcode to develop a safestrap for us at least like we had on the note 3....

That won't happen, he works for Google now.

UPDATESSS

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/06/11/htc-one-m9-gets-big-camera-update/
Did anyone see this? Looks promising, i hope a dev can make a stock rooted version!
To be honest, id probably flash that update. Im in Israel and i have yet to find someone with a Java card here. Stock isnt horribleeeee but i miss Cyanogen/AOSP
Stock isn't bad at all if you disable all the crap. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact we're not getting root.
I have root. Dottat is only an inbox message and a shipping charge+donation away.
Ok, a hundred people or so will have root. Which means there's not a whole lot of development that will be happening, so I'll just live with stock.

Theres four public folks with cards. Even more who aren't. There's a lot more than 100. I know a dev who already built cm for this very phone. Its not a dead phone. Its just getting started.

I disagree, it takes time to get things going. Most the Developers (that I know of anyway) that are on Verizon have gotten their phones S-OFF, and are working hard to bring us the goodies. It will only get better from here, and those who are patient enough or don't feel like shipping their devices, will have all the goodies waiting for them, as we are working hard getting the ball rolling. It will only keep getting better and better. Even if SunShine NEVER brings support to Verizon, their any many amazing people with Java Cards who are 100% trustworthy and depending how you ship your device it can be back the same week. (I personally sent my phone out with $400 insurance on a Monday, and the phone was back in my hands by Wednesday - It was on it's way back to me with a tracking # before I even had time to see if the phone had made it!) 100% worth it, and thank you again @dottat!

i appreciate the encouragement. ive considering learning how to.compile, but i dont know programming and id assume id need to know that. if its a situation of placing files in this directory and that directory, and changing paths in this code and that....i can probably do that.
Anybody knows of camera update ..is it only firmware or software for it to work. Example is the international builds we are running latest build but not firmware. Somebody told me we need firmware to see change on camera,but a really can see a difference in camera quality without the firmware

i have no option BUT to wait. i dont know of any place in Israel who has a JAVA card. i could probably take the update and wait longer for whoever comes out with the exploit for the current sw to come out with an exploit for the update. i havent decided yet. i really hope someone finds an exploit. this update does sound very promising

The camera update is in the play store now. Doesn't fix the missing manual controls in raw mode though.
