ICS Running on SGH-T989

So, Here are some screen shots of ICS running on my T-Mobile SGH-T989. Just about everything does not work yet.... I have downloaded the Android 4.0 rom for the International version that just got released to see if maybe I can pull some info from it...

Well he couldn't continue so he oepened the source for everyone, let<s see where this guy bring us

Yes xboarder open sourced so we could continue working on it... He brought it a long way and hopefully we will get it the rest of the way..
and the eng just means engineering build

you should get someone with kernel experience to check your cpu voltages

Awesome! Good luck!

Good call. Besides removing bloat ware there is really no reason for this phone. None of the custom roms offer much of anything over stock.

Wrong. What about free wifi tethering? I think you can root but do not need to run a custom rom, just run the stock rom.

looks good, getting it to just boot is nice. hopefully someone else can take it the rest of the way so we can get this on our phones asap.

You can easily get wifi tethering without a custom rom along as you are rooted.

How do I do that? I have a rooted, stock ROM, with bloatware removed and is CIQ free, but I do not know if it has free Wi-Fi tethering.
Here is the link to the ROM: Click

Simple, install titanium manager ( id recommend pro) and either freeze (pro only) or delete tether manager or whatever the programs called that's makes you sign up for hotspot

Adobe Flash on 4.1 Jelly Bean!

Found this on the Android General discussion forum, and thought I'd bring it to attention here, since we proud Gnex owners are basically THE people rocking some jelly bean version phones, and I've seen many complaints about Adobe flash no longer working.
I take no credit for this guide, simply posting it here for those of us who don't have time/have a life and aren't scanning other forums.
Here's a link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336

Honestly? I personally don't really care about the whole flash buisness... but I don't use it much. Only time I did was when trying to watch streaming video on specific sites, and I've found other, easier alternatives. But there are some people who surf flash based sites on a regular basis, it's understandable they'd be annoyed, I have one friend who didn't want to make the switch to 4.1 because the whole flash issue...
If anyone else was worried about loosing flash support, no reason to now. Make the switch! JB is just worth it...
And people, remember, this is just a temporary way to hold off the inevitable pending death of flash and the rise of HTML5. Support s gone, Adobe announced they'd pull Flash from the app store all together on the 15th of August, and let's be honest, flash has always been a slow, clumsy way to surf the web on mobile (nevertheless, it was nice to have the possibility of running it).

For me, Flash Player carried over from ICS when I flashed the yakju JB OTA, so I had it all along. As I understand it though, all you really ever needed was to sideload the latest Flash (11.1.115.1.12) APK which we've had up in the Dev forums here for awhile now.. Not sure what those extra steps and files are for in the thread you linked.

Try it. Seriously, go into your browser and open up a flash site, let me know if it works... it carried over for me with the OTA, though flash hasn't worked for me since. Also side loading it doesn't help. Sure it gets installed, but that's all it is now. An installed icon in the app drawer. Clicking it and opening a browser for the settings gives me a blank page. Would be interesting to know if it actually works. I thought it did in the beginning, and proudly showed my friend he shouldn't be worried, flash still works. Then I realized I hadn't been on a flash site, and flash DOESN'T work. Oops

Yes, that works. I have Flash held over from the ICS to JB OTA upgrade.

Well, here's the same game on the same Site on my browser after sideloading flash:
I do remember seeming to think that flash WAS working for me right after the OTA, but since then I have flashed so many different roms and I had uninstalled flash somewhere along the process. Just tried sideloading it now and this is what showed up in the stock browser.
Anyone here have Flash working without carrying over thru the OTA? Just sideloading it?

It works well for me on JB (Eclipse ROM) and I side-loaded V11.1. I think someone already mentioned there is a 'flash-fetcher' on the market here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modaco.flashdownloader
If you want to be sure you're up to date I think that gets it from Adobe, but I'm not sure, and haven't used that app. I'm able to use flash in the stock JB browser and also in Dolphin, and like everyone, not in Chrome. I'll give you site a try because I don't really use it much but I know it works.
Good luck.

I though that JB had terrible battery, isn't that a reason not to upgrade

I'm brand new to GS3 coming from AOKP on my GS2. I want to use the new JB search function (S Voice?) but my GS3 doesn't have a dedicated search button like my GS2 did and I don't know how to get that easily on AOKP for GS3.
I want to try CM10 and also codename android but don't want to flash them while at work right now and no access to my home pc.
If anyone has used these ROMS are they feature rich like aokp? I like features rather than a stock experience.

That epically sucks. I caused a boot loop on day one. Luckily I could still get into recovery and fixed. That's why I don't want to flash anything while I'm at work in case something doesn't go right.

The AOKP Rom seems to be missing some standard gs3 features too like face and voice unlock. The function to detect when you're looking at the phone for screen time out. It's like this rom is modeled too closely to the GS2 aokp rather than gs3 phones.

Day 1 of me owning my phone I came to xda immediately and did a search of Samsung Gaaxy S3 and at the time the interational forums were the only result.. I went there and found a nice rom I wanted, followed the rooting instructions using odin. Installed a recovery then flashed the rom.. needless to say, 3 hours into owning my epic phone I turned it into a paperweight lol.

I'm running the one dated 09/18 here: http://team-insomnia.org/GalaxyS3ROMs.html
No real problems to speak of. Apparently if you try to set a wallpaper via settings, the phone will reboot. But you can set a picture as wallpaper in the gallery as a workaround. Some of the bands that would normally show as 3G in the notification bar will show as 4G and LTE also shows as 4G, however the speeds are correct for the actual connection. One time the Play Store said it couldn't verify my account. I removed my account in settings and added it back and no more problems with that. Those are the only two bugs I can think of off the top of my head. I'm really happy with it.

According to their website the JB version is stock. I took a risk and flashed CM10 at work. I found a setting to remap hard keys so I mapped menu long press to voice search. I'm already pleased with that. ^_^

our rom does have voice search built in such as google now in jb and you can add svoice via debloated version, and so should you wanna use google now you can and you can use svoice should you choose for that in bloated version. enjoy and yeah you can remap it without any software via home button clearly go to settings and go to all applications and clear defaults for either velvet or google now or google or svoice and you're set with either or. enjoy

You cannot check for Samsung software updates or download this software. T-Mobile will not push this as an OTA, because it does not offer new benefits.
This software is only on a newly purchased or exchanged devices.
This software was created for new devices only in order to meet a Samsung requirement for all carriers.
Both software numbers T989UVLH1, T989UVLDE and T989UVLI1 are the most updated software available.

Well... I just flashed CM10 stable. IMO The stock ROM wasn`t worth it. There was no noticeable change from UVLH1 that I saw. In fact I thought it ran a bit worse. Maybe it was all the bloat. But the radio I haven`t changed so we can still rip that bad boy out. Fullflex still has his stock UVLI1 installation intact though.

[Q] Hard bricked? How to fix?

Hi I am new to android I just bought this s3 I747M from best buy on Telus on a 3 year contract on august. I rooted it and added a few custom roms successfully. When I tried to root my first phone (s3 current one) it got soft bricked. I easily fixed it. But then I after a few months the 4.1 update barely came out. Then I heard of the multi-view thing. I really wanted it knowing that it was probably coming out for my version on February 2013 and flash the insert coin revolution on my phone. It suddenly shut down and wouldn't open nothing, not download mode, not recovery mode, not nothing. so I decided to go search how to fix it and the only solution I know is the usb jig thing, because it's a hard brick (I thought that there was only a soft brick). Is there any solution on how to fix it without the usb jig? If you know please reply s3 is the best phone I have ever held. And the warranty is void. And when I plug it in the computer is shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD.

I think there is'nt way...

Unless you are extremely technically proficient and have access to the necessary jtag hardware, your best bet is to use a jtag service. There are a few out there but I know these guys have a good reputation: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/
$60 and a couple weeks without your phone may be cheaper than the time you'd spend trying to figure it out. It'd be nice if there was an easy way to do it but at the moment there isn't.
Hard bricking sucks, best of luck to you.

I agree with above post, if you dont have a technial background then best take it to a jtag dealer.

Actually since it was on a 3 year contrect telus is giving it to samsung for 2-3 weeks to fix. In the mean time they will lend me a backup phone to borrow until they return it. And the best thing is that it is free of charge.

If Samsung finds out that the phone was tampered with, they will not warranty it. They will charge you to fix it.
Your only hope is that they try to boot it and they replace the M/B without finding out you flashed it.
