Just back up your efs folder and put it in a nice place and you can flash like crazy

Hi,
Imho, Sony devices o Nexus family are the best choices in the Android scene.
regards

yes sony and nexus are easiest to unbrick too
I'm quite sure its literaly impossible to brick a xperia s unless its hardware related
not samsung fan, they are too complicated to even bootloader unlock and not to mention knox Samsung security

@RISHI RAJ Instead of going for S4, go for HTC One, Nexus 5, Moto X or Xperia Z1.. And if u r a sammy fan, go for Note3 atleast.. Its worth it.. S4 aint that good as i saw..

Or you can upgrade to g2 too

No, that guide is clearly for jailbreaking iPhones.
I am sorry to inform you that WE cannot use that guide to root OUR phones.

How is the S III development on AT&T ?

I placed a order for the S III since Verizon can't get my area straight for the nexus. So I was hoping to see how the development was going for the att brand ?

About the Camera (possible buyer)

Hey guys,
I have a Xperia S but i'm not very happy with it's camera.
Today, AT&T Galaxy S3 is being sold for $500 on 1saleaday.
Do you guys think it's worth the change? I love my Xperia S, but I hate it's camera and Autofocus.
The camera this phone comes packaged with is awesome, one of the reasons I keep finding myself back on stock Rom.

^ Nope, in fact you can even root without unlocking the bootloader and wiping your data

Are you the Guy over at Thunderbolt whose TB bit the dust?
Haha welcome, I think more GalNex owners had the Thunderbolt than any other phone, we just got hit so bad with waiting for ICS, none of us want that wait and uncertainty ever again.

Been playing with it all day, getting a feel for phone and battery. Ive git a 2350 battery in it i believe, and life seems pretty good. It did update to jb, and im amazed how fast phone is. If i had a good secure wifi tether, id almost not root, lol! Nah, i gotta see what this thing will do. Really liking so far though.

Should i update radios? Runnin liquid now, no 4g.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Do yourself a favor and if you haven't yet already learn adb and fastboot command lines there is no need for a toolkit for this phone. And to answer your radio question unlike the thunderbolt any radio combination works on any ROM you can update or change radios to see if they help you out but it shouldn't matter if you're getting 4g or not. Plus these roms never include radios..well from what I have seen all the radios can be flashed separately through the bootloader or some people have made flashable zips containing them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
1. Get Gnex
2. Root/Unlock
3. Flash new radios
4. Flash new bootloader
5. Flash new ROM - I would vouch for Codename Android with Faux's kernel
that's my recommendation plan
Brace yourself, flash addiction is comimg.

so we dont have the sorce code for aosp
It would be released for galaxy nexus.
Only Google and some other phones are aosp if I am correct.
Ubuntu would be released to work on them.
Otherwise also we have great devs that can port it to our phone.
But that'd be buggy and broken in the start but will eventually come up to expectations.
