Hello and Merry Christmas,
Is there currently any downside to rooting and unlocking the LGOG?
I assume it will void warranty and is not undoable. I heard it messed up some peoples network connection?
I have best buy warranty... If i needed to take my phone in for repair would they care if rooted or not?
Thanks

Yes there are ALWAYS inherit risks when you do anything to your phone . There also awesome good things that can happen learn, read, and then if you don't understand ask a question in the place where it is already been asked if you can. I did the same.thing and someone told me.this very thing. Good luck and Merry Christmas and happy new.year. message me if u have trouble.searching. hint.....development section. :thumbup:

Not only did you not answer my question, but you did not even help guide me toward an answer. I'm looking around thee "dev section" (which one? there are two?) and I don't see answers to my questions. The search function on this site is horrible.
The purpose of the Q&A section is to ask questions and receive answers.
What is your problem?
BTW: I ended up rooting/unlocking and it was very simple. I do not think there is any downside at this time.

Hello , im going to buy the One x and are there going to bee a Unlock or S-off without the htcdev.com . i will not lose my warrinty .
No, pretty sure there will be no development done on the OneX at all. There are currently no threads in the Dev section talking about this topic, so I would encourage you not to bother using the search button to find any, you'll only be wasting your own time.
In fact, probably best not to bother buying this phone, if you were hoping for any cool ROMs or custom recovery etc.
Sorry.

now that a very sad news , so are you sure there will be no unlocked without losing warranty or are you just saying ? because if no unlock no buy
Well, I think what our Australian friend is suggesting is that you visit the development board SOUTH of this one.
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.
Or... until I'm banned.
I was kidding.
Everything I said in that post, do the opposite. Especially the bit about looking in the Dev section...
Ooops beaten. What John said
Hi guys! I deliver this phone yesterday.
It uses stock 2.3.5 and I want to upgrade a newer version.
I see many roms but really do not know which to use with.
As for my expectations from rom. I need as everybody stability, performance and good battery life.
I need your opinions.
From now thanx for your advices.
If you bothered to read any stickied thread in this forum you'd have an answer for this.. It amazes me how not one person reads forum rules or stickies before asking the same question daily...

Reading stickies/forum rules aside; if you're gonna ask a question that's been asked a hundred times before, why not, at the very least, revive one of the multiple dozens of threads where that question has been asked already instead of creating more useless clutter in an already irreparably cluttered board?
Hey, at least he's not asking how to root, or what's with the error after flashing CWM over official ICS
Lol. Yeah that's true.. Its funny if you go back to the sub forum there's (estimate without actually checking) probably about 5 asking what's the best ROM, or how do I root.. Meanwhile there's like 2 or 3 stickies explaining it... In the same exact page!
Um all for forum activity, and a live forum is definitely better than a dead one but come on people seriously.. I'm not trying to be a jerk and sorry if it comes off that way but I've only been a registered member for not even a year and it does get frustrating. Just try to read some posts before making a dumb one.. If you have a question its pretty much guaranteed its been answered.
The forum rules, which are actually a global announcement if I'm not mistaken; clearly state that if you're too lazy to experiment with the ROMs and find out for yourself which one is best then this isn't the right place for you.. And I wholeheartedly agree. I've only had the p930 since last November or so and I've been testing ROMs since day one and I've never once had to ask how to root or which ROM to use... That's the whole fun/enjoyment of android dev IMO.
There's my two cents. If you honestly still can't find an answer then there's probably no hope. Get a friend to mod your phone.. Lol

My conclusion is that the "Search this forum" box doesn't seem to appear for 95% of the people... I mean, that's the only logical explanation, right?

I asked a simple question, and need an opinion. Absolutely I had searched the forum,
there are so many different q/a posts. I have just confused.
Yes. I don't ask how to root or flash. I'm not new on android.
Maybe I know more than you think.
I this is the way you help other peoples who need help.
This is your satisfactionary.
If you don't want to help, just don't type anything. Let it be blank,
So may the others can share their opinions.
And I didn't post for you to chat here. You can send eachother pm (acording your thoughts) about people who want an opinion.
Btw. I don't need your opinion.

Look, I'm glad to have you as a part of the community; there is not one single person who shouldn't be a part of what we have here. All I'm saying is that, instead of posting a new thread to ask a question that has been thoroughly covered in multiple other threads; why not, at the very least, revive an old thread for this purpose instead of adding more clutter to an already cluttered board? It's posts like this which are the reason that there are "already so many different q/a posts."
I never said or implied that you were new to Android, and I never once said or implied that you were ignorant when it comes to Android devices. Believe me, I'm far from knowing anywhere near what I would like to know; but I guarantee you that almost every single question that has been, and will be asked on this board has already been covered multiple times; including "which rom is best". The development section has discussions covering the bugs and gremlins for every ROM released for this device via XDA. No real need to read every single page of each threads, just skim the last few pages and you'll get an idea of where the ROMs stand in their current form.
With that being said, I DO apologize for being a complete jackass and for the tone which I put across; but the sentiment remains.
Also, I have put forth an answer buried in my reply here; although it is a little verbose and requires you to do a little more leg-work to form your own opinion... which is what counts the most.
The answers you seek are on the very page you posted this in...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206596
^ There you go.
If you want the latest Android experience (4.22), the best all around bet is probably the unofficial PAC-ROM + Wind kernel 1.7 or 1.8. Bluetooth works pretty well, I think the only bugs are the other common CM10.1 ones- 1080p recording crashes, hitting the power button while in the camera app crashes. If you don't care about bluetooth and just want speed and battery, check out JellyBAM- it is slightly less stable than PAC but it flies.
If you are ok with ICS (4.0X) then HO!NO!'s CM9, Liquid Nitro or HO!NO!'s V20f are solid.
But in the future, search around and do a lot of research before posting a question- on most forums it annoys the members to be answering the same questions repeatedly
OP no, just try for yourself....
Looking to buy a riff box to recover a hard brick of my sgs3

My bad sorry about that.
Anyone?
I'm in need of a box ASAP as I need the phone.
Thanks
Your best bet is to send your bricked phone to mobiletechvideos.
Just buying a riff box wont magically fix your phone. You have to learn how to connect your phone to the box, how to interface with the computer, unless you know what you are doing, the riff box is as useful ss a boat anchor.

Thanks for the reply I know how to follow info
Also going to get the Jtag adapter that's made for the
I747m. I want to also get the box since I would be the only
One in Eastern Canada to get one so I could provide services here.
So any good place to get the box? Are the 2 that I posted reliable?
Thanks
Wow thanks guys for the help.
I thought asking on a site like this I would get an a fast answer since this is a site to ask a question like I have asked.
But guess I was wrong since I have yet to get an answer.
Hopefully not to late!

This may be a tad bit ti late, but yes the sites you suggested are reliable riffbox vendors. My best suggestion would be to visit the official site (riffbox dot org) as they post all of their officially supported vendors there. I myself have been looking for one as well and researched it for sometime and came across early on the primary site. After browsing through the list those 2 that you posted are indeed there. Good luck and hopefully this answered your question.
Don't take your anger out on the actual XDA site, not all questions stand out right away where users are caught by the title and or may or may not have enough knowledge to answer every question that is being asked.
Remember that XDA nor myself can be held responsible for anything that may go wrong by any means of a bad transaction or making a decision soley based on a response from any user here. Take what is said as a suggestion and may be good to use Google as it can be very useful to find information the way I did prior to coming across this question!
Good Luck!!!
P.S. If you end up purchasing one or have done so already post your results on how everything worked out and if at all possible help others as we have tried to help you! I personally would love to hear the results!
Most of us here join the site to learn and help each other out with different issues with our phones.Most of us are new to android and coming from apple just like me or just different android devices.We all know androids are all different and rooting methods also.We ask for help cause S3 can at times be difficult to root,so some people just would like some help,So please lets help eachother out.How bout go here to this link and can root the phone or go here...Im in the Same situation on trying to root my S3 T-Mobile version.We all were noobs at one point..
Learn how to; read, follow steps and use Google.
If everyone learned how to do those three things, there really wouldn't be any need for a Q&A section and there would probably be a lot less bricks happening or IMEIs being lost.

XDA rules: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
Rule #1 states: "Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news."
If you had followed rule #1, you would know you didn't need to post this, because posts just like yours already exist. Every once in a while, someone comes around accusing us all of being big meanie heads.
Now, if you are looking for info on rooting your phone, press the "Root Info" button on the toolbar of the main SGH-T999 forum. It has an embedded YouTube video that will explain everything. The information is readily available, you just have to look for it. If you have any specific questions or problems with this procedure, feel free to ask for help (if search didn't turn up an answer), and one of the hundreds of people that frequent these forums would be happy to help you. Well, perhaps less so now than they would have been, with being accused of being disrespectful, and all.
And read the stickied threads. They are stickied becsuse they contain important information that everyone should read. Just going through the stickies will tell you about several rooting methods, and will give you plenty of info to get well on your way without assistance.
If you have an issue with the tone someone conveys while answering a question, consider this: There are a few of us who answer tons of questions and try to help all we can. There are many times we see the same questions asked over and over and over. This tells us that you didn't bother to try finding the answers yourself and want others to do the work for you. While we do enjoy helping others, we don't intend to do everything for everyone. We prefer to help you help youself. If our answers are short and to the point, its not that we sre being rude, its because not every question warrants an in depth response.
If we are trying to be rude, you will know it.
Give us a detailed, thoughtful, well researched question, and you will receive the same in return.

Another problem that results in bricks are people being too eager before reading enough into what they are doing. You need to read until you are confident about the steps. Search the threads because someone more than likely had the same problem as you. We're not being rude, we're just trying to keep things clean, easy to navigate and lessen down the work on the mods who do a fantastic job by the way.

This phone out of the 5 I've owned is the easiest to root. I've rooted about 10 phones and only one other was easier. Like others stated its not hard to find the easy way of doing things on these forums, all stickied. That is my only reason for being blunt or direct and what some call mean, cause they're too lazy to read and do it them selves, after many others have done a lot to make things easy for users, so they don't make mistakes, or have to get flamed for asking ignorant things that are right in front of them.
People's laziness, and lack of respect have made me turn away from helping out here on xda for a while now, its just gotten to the point where its actually annoying me so I only check the forums once or twice a day now and laugh as I do it, and feel bad for the guys that are still repeating themselves over and over, continuously.

Awww man I really valued and appreciate all your help. Don't let the ignorant ones ruin it for us plzzzzz lol
I think people should also follow the must do steps before flashing anything: making a nandroid and EFA backup. That would certainly solve many problems.

any can help me to unlock my phone?? This Galaxy is from T-mobile. please any helpp!!
Have you read the T999L Info/FAQ and the Unlock threads? If a way is found itll be in both. Ive posted a potential way numerous times in both threads and only one out of several people claimed it to be working, so I highly doubt it is. (Other guys was probably already unlocked).
So youre probably gonna be stuck with paying a few bucks for a code online or trying to convince T-Mobile to give you the code.
Also, dont take it the wrong way, but there is already an unlock thread. No need to start yet another. Just like the other ones that got started people will start asking questions here that have already been answered several times in the main unlock thread.
Sorry I didn't have the answer you were looking for.
