Thanks for this. Has anyone gotten WiFi tether to work on frosty jb? I never see the connection when trying to use the hotspot with my nexus 7. I've changed the device profile to generic ics/jb wlan0 and still no go.

no go on the wifi tether for me as well
Tether will not work on JB Kernels, JB based ROMS, and JB Touchwiz leaked stock roms.

i was just wondering if i root my phone will i still be able to recieve ota updates? and also is the anyway to just delete cwm recovery? im not rooted by the way!
Here's my Tip:
When using WIFI Tether, change your profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE).... Works like a champ with no issues.

Stock Rom Just Rooted.
T-Mobile S3
So there's no need to wipe when Odin back to stock to unroot?

People come to this thread for rooting, custom ROMS, ect....so I think this is a great place for this thread so they can find all guides in one place.
I agree that this should be in General.
Techfanatic9, this is good work and you keep supporting it which is great, but this would be better served in General.

OTA wont work
Hey guys,
I unrooted my S3 verizon using the ODIN method, and I am trying to OTA update to JB...the unrooting method took me to ICS stock 4.0.4
Sorry for the silly question, i am a newbie and it's frustrating

What carrier?
tmobile
No official jelly bean yet for tmobile. If you want jelly bean then you have to install custom rom. That involves rooting, installing a custom recovery and flashing.
You have to answer a few questions before you can get a proper answer. What you need to do is give the correct name of your current device, if its the Galaxy Nexus or the Galaxy S3. After that, you would need to let us know the carrier to be directed to the correct part of these forums.

Hello everyone! I am on sprint and having a problem. I want to update to jelly bean from rooted ics. The only problem is I tried using qbking77's video and got stuck after the first minute or so because my device has a build number of LG8. So I couldn't continue on. Can I unroot and upgrade to jelly bean and then root using the same method as ics? Thanks so much.

Simplest rooting method in the whole wide world, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011491 .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963812 is what I used. I don't see how it could get any easier.
So my SGH-t989 is constantly prompting me to update. My buddy at tmobile says it's the long awaited Jellybean upgrade.
But I have not found a solid confirmed rooting method. Im at the moment just interested in using the stock firmware. that being said has anybody rooted the stock JB on a sgh-t989 GS2?
Please direct me to the relevant guide if you have.
Thank you in advance.

Well I already went ahead and did the upgrade 4.3 dn3 version
Working good so far .... but I think features like smart stay and smart pause not working....
Also It got most of the note3 features which m happy about :thumbup:
There been some post where for note2 you will get 4.3 version android but it will b without note3 features..... to get note3 features you can use "note3 experience" app available on play store .. havent tried that since I got my custom rom running already and I came to know about it later
3 days already and rom running good

Bluetooth 4.0 (LE)
The main reason for me to expect 4.3 is the bluetooth LE (4.0).
Any other way to get this ?

Smart scroll and smart pause also working on dn3 version 2
Flash it and you will never go back... awesome

Bro..just download the prerooted MI6 firmware for JB 4.3,it wont raise your binary counter and your phone's status will remain official.It also doesn't contain the KNOX enabled bootloader.
Or you can also download MJ5 version firmware.It does contain KNOX enabled bootloader but you can roll back to old bootloader after following dr. ketan's instructions in one of his threads.
Both these firmwares wont increase your binary counter and will keep it official.
Also group play is nice
There is a way now in application managerr where you can move apps from device to sd directly.. and so its pretty nice :thumbup::thumbup:
