Help! GS3 T999V Wind Mobile ICS 100% STOCK
Im really upset, seeing samsung put out so many OTA updates/fixes for all USA carriers even most canadian carriers eccept wind mobile. Samsung has never released the OTA update for wind mobile fix that gives the screen brightness controll in in the pull down notification screen. And never once received any updates for bug fixes. When i have saw t-mobile ect put out 4-6 different ota uptates for bugs ect. Im really upset on samsungs neglect to certin mobile carriers/customers. Can someone give me some help on this? Because i want a direct answer from samsung. Is there anyone that works for xda that can contact samsung directly to get this answer? Im sure all other GS3 Owners would be pretty upset if this happend to you. Seeing all gs3 owners getting updates/fixes and us at wind have never even received the update/fix that gives you the screen brightness control in the pull down notification screen and no bug fixes at all. Im sick of dealing with all these bugs and samsung hasn't done a thing for us at wind mobile. Please help me! What would you do?
Calm down. I highly doubt its Samsung holding out on you. Much more likely its Wind.
First, do some reading. T-mobile has only released ONE update. Everything else are leaked builds.
Second, Samsung doesn't decide when to release the update, your carrier does. Each carrier customizes it to their liking. Wind may simply just not be ready with theirs. Who knows.
I pretty much answered the same question yesterday. Its not anyones fault that Wind hasn't updated except Wind. We have confirmation that at least Videotron is a lready working on a JB release, and we pretty much know that Sammy has finished their part on the LH2 build. Maybe Wind has no intention of updating.
There are PLENTY of ways you can get what you want. Just root the phone and go to the development section.

Thanx for taking your time to help me. I checked and wind still hasent put out the update that videotron & mobilicity just put out. Now im really doubting that wind will put out anything. Ok i only want stock official roms/updates. If i unlocked my phone what would happen with updates? Would i get the unbranded updates? that samsung pushes out to wind/mobileicity/videotron before the carriers brand/customize them? And could i still get ota updates if i unlock my phone or would i only beable the update with kies? I dont think i would need to root my phone to do this would i? Or just unlocking my phone will make this work for getting samsung official updates/roms?? I want to get this figered out because jelly bean was released today in europe so it wont be long before samsung makes it avialible to us. Also if i did unlock my phone would it work the same way for updating to stock official jelly bean i would beable to get the unbranded jelly bean update?
Thanx .

Can anyone share there firmware version for a stock UK T-mobile HOX. Not only do I not get the 1.28 upgrade (surprise surprise) but I seem to be on a version no-one else seems to mention 1.26.110.5. Can anyone help me confirm this is the standard t-mobile version. Cheers.
it's mentioned a few times in the HOX branch - think it's one of the first impressions threads. I did a thread search on your version and found a few mentions.

Thanks for the reply. I did search but didn't really find the answer to my question. I will try putting it another way.
Does anyone have a STOCK UK T-MOBILE HOX that has a firmware version different to 1.26.110.5 or are we always going to be massively behind even the other carrier branded phones with updates.
Didn't really want to root yet but it is looking more like the only answer.
110 is the standard code for T-mobile UK, so yes, you seem to have the correct T-Mobile UK ROM.
Yes, it'll probably be a while till you get the 1.28 update as t-mobile are especially thorough in their testing before they release a ROM update. However, they're no worse than orange since they joined together.
I can confirm i'm on the same software and on T-mobile UK. I rooted because in the 4 years of being with t-mobile they never release a software update anywhere close to an expected date.
Some folk are still waiting for updates to Froyo on phones apparently.

I see JB roms, did this phone already get JB? If not, are there any fully working JB roms and is there a date the official update comes out? Thanks for the help.
JB has already been pushed out as an OTA from Google. Every device may not have received it yet, but it has been out for several weeks now.

Does this also apply to the Verizon model? This is where I'm confused. If it's not, why wouldn't it be available if it is on the others?

as of right now jellybean is not available for the verizon model, there is a ported gsm version of jellybean that works on verizon gnex . click here
Considering the way Verizon treat the Galaxy Nexus, I don't expect them to release Jelly Bean for it in a couple months, but there is always custom rom.

GSM models have 4.1.1 OTA if you're of the "takju" or "yakju" firmware variant, which are updated directly by Google. Other variants, such as yakjuxw and yakjujp have yet to be updated.
CDMA models have yet to receive an OTA.
Unfortunately Verizon is notorious for this when it comes to updates. Especially when it comes to the Nexus. It took forever to do any updates on the Nexus and it still has signal issues that were suppose to fixed months ago.
Galaxy Nexus (Sprint) unlocked and rooted to use SuperUser.
Running JB 4.1.1 Baseband ver: L700.05 V.FH05 / L700.FH05, Kernel ver 3.0.31-00006-gea59422 Build JRO03U.L700FH06
When I bought my Nexus from Sprint I thought I would be getting timely updates from Google, or Samsung. With the recent update to JB, I learned I was wrong.
Can I flash a Google version to my Sprint Galaxy Nexus, so that the updates will not have to filter through Sprint and then come from them? If I do this, (if it is the way it works) does it void my agreement with Sprint? I pay them for two levels of insurance; if I were to need to repair/return to them, would I have to unroot and re-flash to Sprint Stock?
I am not, at this time, particularly interested in flashing a ROM from a developer. I think I want to feel like I have mastered the stock version first.
With the Sprint model, there is no other choice for official updates than to stay with your stock firmware and wait for Sprint to update it. Google does not provide a stock image that magically puts you on a different update pathway. You're using a carrier branded device with CDMA and LTE that Google doesn't have the rights to distribute. Sprint holds those keys.
If you want updates timely and directly from Google you need to buy an unlocked GSM Nexus.

Thanks, I seem to learn lots of things after the window of opportunity is past. So when this contract is done, do a bit more research before buying.

No problem.
I'm thinking of buying a GS3 really soon, but I want to make sure I get the best model version of this phone. I'm currently with fido and don't want to switch carriers. My initial instinct would be to buy the rogers version, but am reading that they are pushing back their JB update (they did this with my captivate years ago I hate rogers for updates). I also see that bell has released theirs. I'm just curious if I bought a bell gs3 and unlocked it to work with fido, would I still receive the OTAs from bell? Or would they come from rogers due to fido using Rogers networks? Also, what problems could you for see with me using a bell gs3 on the fido/rogers network?
Thanks in advance

No matter which GS3 you have fido will no send you an update cause they don't carry that phone....
So the only way to get the update is once avail get one of your friends to lend you his sim from Rogers,Bell or Telus... then when it's avail let the OTA install and configure....shut down and put back your Fido sim card and boot up...and thats it...
Or Just wait for are Great Dev's here and they will have much better JB roms to get on your GS3...

I'm currently stuck in a position where I can't get the OTA NK3 Update for my AT&T Note4. Details below:
- AT&T Note4 SM-N901A on 4.4.4 (build N910AUCU1ANIE)
- Unlocked via purchased unlock code
- Currently being used on TMobile network (Which is why I'm being told I won't ever see the OTA update)
If someone were to have a flash-able ROM of the NK3 update that'd be epic. (Or any other way of getting me updated for that matter)
As of now i have a nice new shiny gearVR paperweight.
Any thoughts?
I would call a Best buy and see if they have the Samsung Experience shop. Then talk to them to see if they can flash it for you. They have been able to do that for other devices like the S4
The easiest thing I guess it will work is borrow the ATT Sim card of someone using ATT Note 4. Plug that in and do update then give the simcard back and Thank you

Yeah a flashable tar would be great. I'll ask in the OTA thread.
Boo...

Just got back from my local Best Buy Samsung Shop, they hooked my note4 up and told me it was the latest version, they even re-flashed to see if it'd update but i'm on the same build as before. I'm currently looking for a SIM card to try to check OTA with, but all my coworkers are ATT iPhone users thus the sim cards are wrong size.
Getting a lil bummed. Think i'll ever see a flashable NK3 update? I was surprised sammobile / kies didn't even have any updates for me.
Just wait. Hopefully root is cracked soon. Would hate it if the NK3 causes problems with future rooting.
Woot!!
