Hey All,
I'm new to the S3 from the E4GT. On the E4GT we were plagued with the infamous brick bug so we had to take extra precautions while flashing. I know these are two diff phones/kernels et al. but was wondering if there was anything that has been discovered like the brick bug that we should be aware of before flashing? Need to go to a safe kernel/safer recovery/only flash during the full moon etc...
Like I said, new to the S3; please be gentle, I have a fragile psyche. :cyclops:
thx
Don't flash international mods or roms.

What he said.. I am not aware of the EMMC bug on these. Just be careful and verifiy model number before flashing (most everything in this tread should be safe) and welcome. I came from the Touch as well.
Nope no Emmc brick bug on this phone. Only way to brick your phone is to flash a rom meant for another phone or a another s3 variant and international rom

This is not for our devices its for global, carrier unlocked versions. The First gen galaxy S2 with the hardware home button. And wont help us much if any at all.

hopefully ours get updated before the GSIII announcement, or else Tmobile might delay the update so more people will buy GSIII (although I doubt they need much convincing). they're already doing this with the HTC phones

Ok sorry to ask but I'm kind of lost for domain on this. I'm on the stock Rom but I'm rooted and need to know if and how I'm up to date on the kernel version and bandbase version. I have a update but it the one that will fix the search I don't want to apply it, but has three been another update since that. Sorry for the noob question. Here's a pic​

Should have posted this in Q&A. If you have have CWM recovery that update won't go through, have to have stock recovery. You can update your baseband here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787677. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CLOSELY AS WRITING A RADIO IS SUPER RISKY. If you goto lg2, theres a patch to fix the searchbar. If you go directly to lg8 , which is the latest, there is apost I recall seeing that has the search apk file you can install manually.
Ya I didn't think about that until after I posted it.

Hey guys just wondering if we will be able to use roms from the International note 3 and possibly AT&T roms, like we could on the s4
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Its always possible to use one but there is also the potential issue of partition differences.
Also if the rom has a kernel, usually those for sure cannot go from carrier to carrier without checking first.

You will probably be able to yes. But you will have to use a T-Mobile kernel and you will loose wifi calling.

Probably not till way down the line if ever. The chipset is completely different. Don't worry there will be better roms for Snapdragon then Exynos anyway. Samsung always holds a little back with there own chipsets.
has anyone tried to use International Roms on their N900T?
Yea I remember using Intl roms on the S4, I seem to recall the One could as well. Lets hope so because I will be in heaven the day that ViperRom comes to the Note 3.
I flashed a i9300 rom to my galaxy s3 r530u (us cellular), is there a brickfile? What can i do, it is bricked. There's no bootup but a red LED when i plug my phone into the wall, without the battery.
First of all, why did you do that? And second, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2740469

Again, this is a Virgin Mobile edition. Kinda confused about the whole Knox thing specifically.

If you plan on using KitKat, yes, that will make things a whole lot easier. Knox doesn't effect anything unless you are planning on sending it back to Samsung for a warranty claim... Sprint and it's subsidiaries don't care. There is a thread called Knox and You in the General section if you would like to read up on it.
