I purchased a brand new phone the Pebble Blue version and it came with a new T999UVLG1 Firmware. Just wondering if this is new.

No i believe the OP is in the right section. I believe Sprint's basebands start with VPL...Tmobile's start with UV. AT&T with UC...ect...
To the OP, that might actually be a new baseband/radio/firmware. Would be awesome if you could pull it :good:

Yes, 100% positive I have SGH-T999 - 16GB - Pebble Blue (T-Mobile) it was sealed when I got it and have been using it on T-Mobile for the passed two days.
I connected the phone to Samsung Kies to see if this is the latest firmware and this is the message I got.
Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current firmware version: PDA:LG1 / PHONE:LG1 / CSC:LG1 (TMB).
IS there any useful info here?

Sure,....Yours is the first Ive heard of with that firmware, although it lists both as being stock. TBH, I have no idea why KIES doesnt recognize it.

Hope ur not thinking "DUH" after reading, but have you seen the Snapdragon Toolkit by mskip in the T-Mo Android Development section? It's really a great tool, and one of the things it does rather quickly and easily is backup your firmware as a NANDROID backup image or it also gives you the choice to create a .tar file for ODIN to restore it. Just thought if you didn't already know about it or know how without it, it might help ya with pulling this new firmware. Of course, you'd have to talk to him (and/or teach him) about doing it - that or find someone else who's got it! I can't tonight, but tomorrow noon-ish, I'll see if I can find the updated firmware myself! If you haven't found it by then, I'd be happy to pull it for ya if I find it! Hope that helps! Have a good night!
Just bought my s3 saturday, I had that same software. Running what was clUned to be newest on here now, but baseband still shows t999UVLG1

I can't believe no one has asked yet..
For those of you that have this "new" software version, does your universal search work?
Long press the capacitive menu button, and enter a search term to see if it searched your whole phone or just the web (if it searches your whole phone, things like contacts and media will come up - if it just searches the web, only Google web based results will show)
FYI: When I first got my phone with UVALEM (ordered first day), pretty much the first thing I did was install Kies to sync with Outlook. At that time, it read the firmware version correctly, and said that it was not compatible with firmware upgrades. That changed about two days later.
Would like an answer to the universal search question.

Hello,
This device will be launching on Oct 28.
I need to know if something needs to be extracted for dev use before we root our phones. I plan on rooting this as soon as i get it, so if the devs need anything, it would be a good idea to tell me what and how to extract it. Im new to the rooting/hacking idea but im a computer technician so a simple explaination will be enough.
Cheers!
My only hope is that it isn't too much different from the 989, I also hope that there aren't as many issues with the screen as the T-Mobile version :/
actually, i was hoping to capture an original image before we even root the phone
just in case we need to flash back for warranty purposes
your best bet is to contact bubby323 that have already created one for the Tmo USA version

Is it at all possible to get separate forums for this? I think it's going to be fairly crowded and add to the confusion.

So this puppy is coming out tomorrow 10am!

Does the telus version have the vertical line and blotting issue?
I'm pretty sure it's the same manufacturing line for the t-mobile version. Just a different carrier lock and ROM added in the end.
Up until the software, I don't see why they would manufacture it differently.
So i do suspect that it has the same issues as the t-mobile. Perhaps a smaller percentage since there isn't as many in canada and hopefully the QC got better for the second batch.
I do doubt it's as wide-spread as it appears on the forums. They've probably made millions of these phones that are perfectly fine.
bought my phone in downtown Montreal this morning,
screen is fine.
dont know what date is was manufactured, i cant seem to find the information...
i'll take some snapshot of the screen in a dark room when i get home

While the ideal test would be to put it against a Sprint unit that are known to have good screens, it may still be useful to put it next to a T-Mobile phone and take pictures while running the test described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320942
This would at least show us any differences between T-Mobile and Telus displays.
2 questions:
Are these telus branded? i.e. is Telus logo on the face of the phone like the T-Mobile version or does it just say samsung.
Can one root and unlock it to use on rogers or must one buy unlock code from online site?
Could you test the screen and see if it has issues as our tmous screen?

Hey guys, So I purchased a used Nexus from a guy locally. I showed up and he had a box with charger, headphones, case, and screen protector. The phone looked perfect and he put his sim in and activated the phone along with showing me data worked along with calls. I bought the phone and took the phone to Verizon and had it activated. It activated fine, so I thought I made out good at this point. However, after looking at the phone further, it appears to have the 1850 Mah battery and the identification sticker under the battery does not have the Samsung logo. It just lists Model SCH-1515 V and shows the serial number and imei number along with STA 02/20/2012 Made in Korea.
I put in a code i found online to check and see if its refurbished and it shows NO for reconditioned. Here is the confusing part, the phone was first activated on 2/28/12 according to the software and has a lifetime call log of 82 calls at around 63 hours. The guy stated he owned the phone since December 17th and he wont return my calls. Do any of you guys know any additional information about this phone that can help me indentify what it is? Also, the phone seems to drop 4G coverage alot and when it first boots and shows the Google logo with a lock logo that appears below it. Does this mean anything? It also has the Superuser icon in my apps list so it appears to be rooted. The software version is 4.0.2 ICS. I feel like an idiot for buying this thing. Maybe I can flash it and fix the radios witha custom rom.
Why exactly are you feeling like an idiot? I still can't understand.
You have purchased the 4G Model of the Gnex, which is called I515:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus_i515-4301.php
This version also includes the 1850mAh battery.
If it's rooted, you can easily unroot and lock your bootloader (the little lock thing will disappear then). Concerning the radio signal, you'll find most 4G users are struggling with the Network reception.
So all in all, unless there's something i missed/did not understand, you bought yourself a normal 4G Galaxy Nexus.
Yeah sounds like you got a unlocked and rooted phone. If you choose to download any roms make sure you download the ones for the Toro, Maguro is the GSM variant. If your reception is bad you could flash the leaked 4.0.4 radios. Check the CDMA development thread for radios, roms, etc. There are some great roms on here and rootzwiki.

I think I was more concerned about the dishonesty and the date the phone was activated. It just made me doubt my purchase. I mean, shouldn't the phone have a samsung logo behind the battery? I also found an ad where he posted the same phone for sale on 2/28 which is the day the phone was first activated. Thanks for your input!
Dude, it's USED from some random guy ONLINE... expect dishonesty!

it should have a samsung logo under the batter that has the IMEI number on it.
i bet you got a stolen phone, but if VZW activated it, call it a good day and forget about it all. if you want a stock phone, go to the dev forums and read how to flash back to stock with the CDMA version.

How about you post some pictures here so we can tell you? Make sure to hide the IMEI and Serial Number before posting those pics.
Lifetime call log info and activation resets everytime you hard reset or flash a rom
Kind of a weird post. You got GN that you hooked up to Verizon without a problem and it came with a stock battery. What exactly is the issue here?
Anyway, for future if you ever want to buy a used phone locally always make the seller meet you at a Verizon store or whoever you are trying to hook the phone up with so they can check the phone for you in person.

That is not true. *#*#RTN#*#* will hold you info even through factory resets and flashes. It's not entirely bug-free though, as I've got a screen shot from January showing that I had an incoming call time of 320 hours after only owning the phone for a month, which of course works out to 10 hours of calling a day. In the 7 weeks since it's crawled up to just over 500 hours.
My guess is that it has something to do with Google Voice.
Don't worry about it. Flash 4.0.4 and be done with it! More than likely you will get better reception with the new radios.

The "lock icon" on boot means that the phone is already Unlocked, so you dont need to do anything you are ready to flash CWM (if it isnt on there already)... if you want to flash a custom rom you can I would suggest stock 4.0.4. If its dropping 4G may be the crap 4.0.2 radios wait for an update or do it yourself like I said stock 4.0.4 imo is the best way to go you can find it in the Development section.
Thanks for the suggestions guys! Is AOKP Milestone 4 a good rom. What is the recommended radio to flash? If I go to stock 4.0.4, will that affect anything as this phone is rooted and unlocked already?

Milestone 4 or Axiom are great Roms. Don't see why you would flash a stock ROM, other ROMs are very stable and offer a ton of customizations.

The thing about radios is that everyone's experience is different. I use the 4.0.4 CDMA/LTE radios but you'll also find that some people prefer hybrid radios.
I would recommend starting with the 4.0.4 CDMA/LTE radios because that's what I have had the best luck with and I use AOKP Milestone 4 as well.
Just make sure you read the directions carefully when flashing radios.

My friend who is a complete noob at rooting some how flashed a rom that doesn't support his model which is SGH-I748 which I cant find anywhere on the internet for some reason. I tried to flash a Stock Firmware for Sgh-I747 through Odin and it gets stuck at NAND Write Start!!
It was soft-brick before and I believe it is still soft brick.

Yup that there is 100% knock off too bad it won't boot, the knock offs have some weird android version 4.1.3 or something like that.
The printing on the battery is even wrong should read "cell made in Korea assembled in china" not he other way around.

Hey All,
Long-time lurker, first-time post. Previous smartphones were Nexus devices (Sprint Nexus S, VZW Galaxy Nexus), so I never really needed to post. Everything was all there to tinker with.
I got the VZW HTC One a day or two after the HTCDev unlock was blocked, so I am stock, locked, and non-rooted. Quite an adjustment going from crack-flasher to locked-down, but I digress.
I was browsing around and noticed that an OTA was being pushed out, updating from 1.10.605.8 to 1.10.605.10. Having seen some others screwed by OTA updates, I know better than to even try to check for one, let alone accept installation. That, however, is where it gets interesting for me. I noticed that I am running 1.10.605.2. I haven't seen anything via Google searches, nor have I seen anything else on XDA regarding this build version.
So, on to my question: Can I be of any help with this build version that I can find no other mention of elsewhere? I work all day and have a wife and son at home, so I'm not on much, but I do check the forums in the mornings and evenings. If there's anything I can provide from my device that could be of help to someone, let me know, and I will do everything I can to provide it.
If you can, screenshot the software number in the About Device section.

man that is insane..
what does your box say?
there will be a sticker on your phones box it came in, on the outside, it will say what software version it has installed, see if it even matches..
also check the IMEI
also is your phone S-ON?
maybe you got some early version that is S-OFF?
I am sure you would have seen but figured I'd ask.
Here is mine.
- 1.10.605.8

I misread the first post. I know I'm not on 4.3. I didn't see the first part about 1.10.605.8. Haha I feel dumb

I'll check the box when I get home, as long as my wife hasn't disposed of it yet... She doesn't see the value of keeping OEM packaging.
Definitely S-ON though...

very strange, what about an update? you should be able to take the OTA.
but if you want root, don't take it.

"No new software update available." Maybe I'm stuck in limbo on this version? Anyone else in metro-Cleveland, OH area get the OTA already?

Work in Garfield Heights (480/Transportation Blvd.), and live up in Euclid.
I have the same. Mine was a replacement from Verizon as my first three phones had messed up cameras.
I also have HBOOT 1.54

Okay so I'm home, and I have the box. The version part of the label is as yours is. It's a relabel. See attached picture. I zoomed way in on yours, and underneath your label, it has the old version, as mine does. Mine just didn't actually get updated, I guess.

So now the question is, can this be useful in the exploit/unlock hunt, or is it just a fluke with currently unknown repercussions? Since my HBOOT is the same, I'm leaning towards fluke.
Anyway, if anyone wants me to try anything, let me know, and I will try as time permits.

Unfortunately I don't think it is useful unless it had a lower hboot or something, we can't downgrade, and whatever exploit that may have been in that software may have been patched before release and took longer to release who knows.
Still 4.4.2
Software version changed from D85110m to D85110r
What a disappointment.
Also, if Lollipop is coming out so soon, why are we getting a 4.4.2 update now??
This is the 3rd update I've received. One when I first bought it(a week after release). In early December I received one to enable Wi-Fi calling features and inflight texting(which is awesome, by the way). I wonder what the heck this recent one does.
I work at T-Mobile in IT, I should probably be able to answer this, hah.
Yeah...when I saw that one come in at 250 +/- MBs I knew it wasn't lollipop.
I just got the notification what changes did this update bring

Didn't this update come a month or more ago? I've had the "r"update at least that long.

Yeah I still haven't gotten it on stock. I even hooked it up to the pc and Lg support says I have an upgrade available for a second then switches to saying I have the latest version. I have no intention on taking this one but still really weird.
On Tmobile my Lollipop update came through on 1/6.
I just received this two days ago too and since then my phone is actually slower!
I loved when I got the phone that it was crazy snappy and did not redraw the home screen or the app drawer each time and now it does.
If I hit home after being in an app long it stutters. If I use the app drawer, it stutters.
It never used to do that!
Anyone have any ideas what to do? I could factory reset but then I'd still have the notification about the update constantly there...

You have a d855 on tmobiles network. The actual tmobile version is the d851. So this is not an upgrade for everyone else..
