I don't know if sammobile has the firmware...4.0? 4.04? Any help is appreciated--- and what steps to take to complete this....thanks in advance

You should find stock ICS on there. Download it and flash it via Odin.

[Q] where can find official ICS 4.0.3 ROM (not verizon..)

Hey all, I'm new Samsung Galaxy Nexus User so I need little bit help, hope someone can help me!
I I have bought Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android 4.0.1 ICS and I updated it to 4.0.2 in about phone section in settings! and it does not find newer update for it!
Is there any official update.zip for 4.0.2 to update it to 4.0.3?
I bought this phone from Finland and it's not Verizon 4G LTE phone!
If I update it to 4.0.3 then can I keep my apps and all other? (dalvik vm must cleaned..?)
and Does 4.0.3 have Estonian language?
(I don't want to brick that phone so that's why I am asking help..
+ why Gameloft games is not working on Galaxy Nexus? /:
and what is the best and most stable + newest kernel for Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks if someone can help me!
The latest OTA from Google on the GSM Nexus is 4.0.2, hope that helps!
If you want 4.0.3, you'll have to go the custom rom route.

Yes, it is a known fact that rooting requires you to "oem unlock" you phone... which clears all the data on the phone, including the internal storage... hope you read that before proceeding...
4.0.3 was never published as an official update...
Not everyone got/gets the 4.0.4 OTA update...
And if you have the CDMA Galaxy Nexus... all updates will come from Google by they will be co-branded by Verizon (i.e., they will have Verizon proprietary files needed for CDMA/LTE)... so you cannot get an "official" ICS update without Verizon involved...

Stock JB Rom for Verizon LTE Nexus?

If there is 100 threads about this I'm sorry I swear I searched.
Is there any STOCK pretty much JellyBean ROMS for the Verizion Nexus? I have the GSM Version so I only really know mine but I told my friend I would put JellyBean on his Verizon Nexus and just figured I could put Android Revolution HD on it and be done but the LTE Verzion Version of this ROM seems to still be ICS despite being labeled 4.1.1. Is there any ROMS like this that are Stock based or just all ASOP/CM. And if not which ASOP/CM mod has the closest STOCK look...?
Look around.
There is no pure stock version but very close custom ROMs.
BTW, Android Revolution is a 4.0.4 ROM and says it in the description, the version number of the ROM itself is 4.1.1 ironically.

Android Keyboard APK for 4.1.1

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if someone could dump the 4.1.1 version of the stock Android keyboard from their phone for me? I've searched for some hours now and cannot seem to find it anywhere on the interwebs.
I have a friend with an 4G Galaxy S3 who would like the factory keyboard, but I (un)fortunately got 4.1.2 OTA for my Nexus the other day and it doesnt want to install on the S3 running 4.1.1.
Cheers!
Download a CM9 ROM and get it from that...

[Q] Want to know more about ROM

Hey guys,
I am thinking to try paranoidkangdroid 4.2.2 ROM for galaxy s3 AT&T. but my phone is still running 4.1.1 and there is no update for the at&t yet for 4.2.
I searched whether 4.2.2 rom will work for at&t or not and got the ans saying NO but there will be soon.
so if they release that and if my phone is still running 4.1.1 will i still be able to install the 4.2.2 rom in my phone?
i tried finding the requirments but couldn't find one.
thank you.

Anyways as a matter of fact, all Custom ROMs for AT&T Galaxy SIII is in the Development section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1705
I'm still not sure whether you need official Samsung/AT&T update to 4.2.2 in order to try custom ROMs. Anyways I'll flag the Moderator to move this Thread to AT&T Galaxy SIII section, so that people using this device can give you a better suggestion.

Your stock firmware doesn't really affect what you have to do with flashing a new ROM. I have the i747 as well (on 4.1.1 stock) and i flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightlies (4.2.2) pretty easily. You don't need to worry about what you have right now. Just make sure you back up the ROM and follow all the procedures for installing a new one.
BTW AT&T (or Samsung for all that matters) probably won't release 4.2 at all. It's only out for the Nexus devices at the moment. The only way is to flash a new ROM right now.
and yes, you WILL be able to install 4.2.2, even if you're running 4.1.1 on your stock firmware. (Just make sure to backup in case anything goes wrong!) Your new ROM is not dependent on your old one
here's the thing
4.1.2 came out for S3 international ~4 months ago, U.S S3 yet have yet to have it
and there's no real date when they'll even release 4.1.2
so how long do you think we'll able to get an official version of 4.2.1? and then 4.2.2?

4.1.2 began slowly rolling out barely 3 months ago on the international variant. one of the features is the multi-view. as has been covered already, this affects the US variants as we have dual core phones vs the i9300s quad. we wont see a 4.1.2 firmware release.
i dont see any real carrier-published updates for the US models until the release of the s4

actually there will be 4.1.2 for U.S s3
it's just some features that you saw on international (multi-view, etc..) won't be there for us

So then it's not the same 4.1.2 release as people have been inquiring about. And I still say the US S3 won't see a major update until the S4

Help with Updating Android on Unlocked AT&T S3 I747 for MetroPCS/TMobile

Hey guys so I decide to get the SGH-147 AT&T S3 off of ebay for MetroPCS which enabled me to get a 2 year squaretrade warranty. After looking back at it now, I feel it might have been a bad idea since Metro has a MIR 349.99 deal for their S3 version which would mean easier android update since it would be on Metro servers if I'm not mistaken. Anyway I can't return the ebay phone now unless there is some software or hardware problems within 30 days
So my problem
I am stuck on 4.1.1 on Kies and when I check for update, because the phone is based on AT&T servers, it won't work since I'm on Metro. I wanted to see if there is anyway for me to update my phone to 4.3 which is the current version. Although, I've heard some people have 4.3 problems?
If that's not advisable, could y'all tell me how I could atleast get to Android 4.1.2? Also is there a 4.4 update in the works?
I just got the phone today and would like to be running on something better than 4.1.1
should I flash the AT&T phone to a MetroPCS ROM lol, if any of those are actually available, or if I were to flash, should I flash it to Tmobile?

There are numerous options. The best depends on your choice. I recently rooted my AT&T phone and installed Cyanogenmod 10.2, based on android 4.3. Check it out. It is super cool.

Lets say I do it and I find out my singal or some issues I can't stand arise, can I reflash down to 4.1.1?
Btw any links to a stock 4.1.2 ROM? And do the battery on these phones run longer with newer Android flavors. The S3 battery I have is atrocious
AT&T 4.1.2 and 4.3 update is officially only available via OTA. But this requires being on the AT&T network. The are zip files available on XDA to get these updates but I strongly suggest you read up on things first.

Do you have any links on how to do the 4.1.2 update on an unlocked phone? I searched on google (admittedly i suck with google) but couldn't find much info.
