Quick general rooting question - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey just had two small questions about this phone...idk how long ago they have been asked because I'm on the xda app but I have been holding on rooting this phone because of the imei issue and the low data speeds on AOSP roms, and tripping the flash counter when installing recovery via odin.. But mainly the imei is a main concern. Can anyone tell me if these are still issues going on? And if the imei is still an issue how reliable is backing it up and restoring? I'm not new to rooting by any means but being a nursing student I'm far to busy to go through and research everything for this phone thanks

There's a tool to backup your imei but I haven't lost mine yet going back and forth from aosp and tw roms. There's also a way to root and install cwr without tripping flash counter. It's all in the dev section

Yea I just read the no tripping flash counter method and it seems simple enough I just hope I still have adb up and running that IMEI issue kind of sketches me out but whatever ill probly just go for it... Also are the data speeds on the AOSP roms still slow? I haven't heard anything about recently

Don't do it you'll brick your phone and have to throw it away.

Yea you are right... I hear there is a chance the phone can catch on fire... God the Internet sucks:banghead:

Same here except I've got two updates today! Sure wish it said what they were. I'm worried this is the update to force us to pay for tethering.

Didn't expect smart ass responses, then again, maybe I should have.
I thought maybe, just possibly, a leaked version of the update exist.

Patience man! It'll be out soon enough and then people will be asking about the Key Lime Pie update. It never ends so just enjoy the options that are there and READ the forums to learn about those options.

I gave you a link in your other thread about this.
I suggest reading it.
The last page has how I fixed this when it happened to me.
You need a tw ROM installed if you don't already and you need your msl.

I need some help with data

So my headline says it all! I need help my phone has done this for the past couple of days and I need help. So my phone is telling me I'm getting 5/6 bars of 3g and 4g in my house, but when I actually get into an app that requires data then the apps won't work and are saying "no data/Internet connection please try again when you have a data/internet connection" the only app that will work is Pandora Internet Radio. Any help will be very appreciated!! Thanks again in advanced!

Umm I'm on ROM: Stock Rooted GB27 Modem: GB27
They updated a few weeks ago My dad has this phone and it's not having any problems. Some of my friends have this phone to and they don't have this problem.

Update you're prl/profile....Prl first..then profile...phone will reboot. Just a thought.
Also..I'm not sure how you rooted,but if you have a custom recovery..wipe cache and dalvik cache..This step isn't a must, just never a bad idea.

[Kernel] (GB28)

I'm pretty positive of the answer ,just wanting conformation. When I see a post referring to GB28,this is a JellyBean kernel correct? If so are there any available with CWM ,or is Agat's the only option?
Thanks.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
GB28 is the Virgin Mobile Jelly Bean kernel. garwynn's v0.4.1 kernel has CWM, tho I don't know why it matters as they do the exact same thing.

Placement of some things are different, but as far as performance... Exactly the same.
yeap exactly :thumbup: .....+ i do not think garwynn's recovery GB28 kernel is around anymore...

It isn't as far as I can tell. Found the GB28 with agat's. But regardless it didn't work for me.
Sent from my SCH-R760X using xda app-developers app
What do you mean "didn't work"? You know that you can use GB27 kernels as well right? Try Agat's kernel in Original Development. It won't effect your signal or anything.
Yeah my bad details! Flashed SPH-D710MUB-GB28-1014481-KERNEL using Odin 3.07. Phone rebooted fine with triangle (of course) booted into recovery and it was stock.
Yeah the GB27 is the way I rooted my phone.
I've actually tried to build my own from source, I get errors that I can't resolve. I've searched Google/xda.
Tried repacking, my initramfs is to large to do so.

This is the best one out there IMO-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244781
Thanks I'll give it a try. Any known way of removing the triangle other than triangle-away?
It doesn't work on my model.
