The 4.4 update downloaded but when I ask it to install it does nothing stays at 4.3.
Very new at this so I will need some kind of tutorial.
Rooted using PhilZ Touch 6 - CWM Base Version 6.0.4.5.

You have a custom recovery. It won't install

You'll have to flash a custom recovery when your done and then flash the SuperSU zip file to reroot. I personally recommend philz latest.

Yeah I flashed the Philz recovery myself and it was pretty easy. My first time using it and I definitely think it's the way to go so far.

I'm having this problem too, I don't consider myself a noob, but my wife is sick she's pregnant and I have 3 daughters under 6. I have searched the forums until my eyes full with blood. I have a virgin mobile galaxy s3 rooted using clockwork mod custom recovery. Twice now they have offered to 4.4 update, frankly, I want to take it and unroot, I want the new update and I will root it again myself later. But both times it fails. Aborted. I have gathered in the threads its something to do with my custom recovery when I need it spelled out more than that. I've been working 19 hours a day and I'm a bit delirious. What can I do to make the update go through I don't care losing root. And my friends I'm sorry but I have looked everywhere for the answer and I am just exhausted with 2 jobs in a baby on the way. I apologize in advance can someone spell out for me what I should do I do not have a p_c or a computer can I do this from the phone? Is there a custom recovery or method I can do so the update will take? It gets more confusing more I read.. This time in from the little bit of research I have found I do not know if the update is still on my phone or not? I can't find it? They have offered it to me twice and when I check for the update in the update menu it is gone. I hope Samsung and virgin does not stop offering it because as crazy as it sounds I want a 4.4 stock unrooted.rooted I hope the ota is still on here. Can someone help me? You guys are awesome for years I've been looking at these threads and I rarely have to post because it's all spelled out. But this time I need a little help from my friends. Virgin Mobile galaxy s3 4.3 knoxed up clockworkmod custom recovery.

haha yes it looks like I did. Thought I deleted when I'm home but I guess I did not. 1 of the cool people over at phandroid sent me a message and helped me out. I think some of the folks in these communities are so nice and awesome! Much better than it used to be. You don't run into too many lifeless little loser twits as often as we use to. People, while in their mom and dads basement, complain and agonize over things like misspelling, semantics, double postings, ect. I wish I could un poste now here in XDA, as I've got it figured out, for the most part lol. I don't have a lot of time to play with my secondary phone because like I said I've got 3 little girls and a demanding job. MK5... 4.3 for the gs3 will go down in history as an odd, and strange little experience lol but thanks to everyone else out there who have posted and commented and help me endless time under my other IDs, and especially to all the folks who were so descriptive I never had to ask a single question at all!

Welcome to android. Definitely got a good device for first android experience. Well now since you are rooted you will have to flash a custom recovery. You can download the goo.im app from the play store to get cwm recovery. That way you can flash anything to any partition within the phone. Now is that kernel for the t mobile s3? If its not, then I don't recommend flashing. Just flash what you find here. Ktoonsez makes great kernels. There are also stock over clocked ones and others as well. Once you have cwm OK installed then go ahead and download the kernel using your phone's browser. Then to boot into custom recovery, power off the device and when powering it back on press and hold the power and the volume down button. When the device vibrates once, you can then let go and and from there cwm should work and then flash file from .zip and look for your downloaded kernel and flash it

Do not flash anything to your phone that didn't come from this forum (TMo S3). In other words, don't flash that kernel you were talking about. There are certain exceptions, but just follow this rule: do not flash anything to your phone that didn't come from this forum (TMo S3).
you used http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 this to root your phone? - that thread is for international S3 version

**if your still here**
1st. You cant use anymore Ktoonsez kernel or other kernels and ROMs in this thread you will end up in the customers service station cuz you said its a GT-I9300 (international variant of S3).
2. Your S3 is not a FAKE we have 2 different worlds

Official Tmo 4.1.2 rollout

Sammobile says Tmo has started the rollout for 4.1.2 on the sgh-t989 via Kies. I can't find anything on Tmo's site but sammobile has the Odin .tar file up. http://www.hotfile.com/dl/202091699/c92decf/T989UVMC6_T989TMBMC6_TMB.zip.html
*edit*
Now its finally official from T-Mobile.
"Beginning April 8, the Samsung Galaxy S II will have an optional software update to Android version 4.1.2/ Software T989UVMC6 via Samsung Kies only. This update changes the OS to Jelly Bean.
You can update in one way:
Manual download to T989UVMC6 If you want to update to T989UVMC6, you can update via Samsung Kies. Ensure you are on the latest version of Kies prior to attempting the update. See http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ to confirm the version.".

Try rebooting the PC.
Make sure Kies isn't running.
Lmao.. All of you guys rushing to flash an unrooted stock ROM just to see something we all have already seem in custom ROMs for the last month or more.. Its hilarious. Especially since half of you will now start a thread asking how to root the new update.. Its an awesomely hilarious cycle.
Especially since in less than a day all of the custom twiz ROMs will be updated.. Lol.

I think people are just happy to have something that SHOULD be 100% stable. I've found one or two ROMS for 4.1.2 that have been 95% stable, and it's took some massaging on my part to make it work 99%. It'll be interesting to see how Samsung did 4.1.2 on our phones, so I'm down to download. I can rock stock for a little while

Ive been running CM 10.1 and will probably go back to it for the hotspot. I wanted stock for future use if I need it which I will debloat myself. A lot of people like rooted stock over custom roms because most custom roms have bugs and so does CM 10.1. And yes, it seems someone popping into the thread and lol'ing is also part of the humorous cycle.
So no multi window with jelly bean for us? Or is that just for 4.2.2

If you're running rooted stock you can just update and reroot. If you're on a custom rom you'll need to Odin back to stock.

It has a couple different Roms with the newest 4.3 ota firmware WITHOUT flashing the bootloaders. I personally had used LoserSkaters version and enewmans version with no real issues at all (other than I cannot flash my vr theme, but that might be something on my end). As far as being stable and everything working I have no problems.

First of, don't hijack threads, if you have a question start a new one.
And second, this is the reason I don't use cynanogen mod. There's a lot of random bugs.
And third, you might want to update to the latest version of cynanogen mod. Cm7 is pretty old.

CM Installer and 4.3 KNOX?

Friend of mine is wanting to root his (virgin) S3 via the CM Installer program. He's new and I'm newer and not seasoned enough to offer him a ton of help should something go wrong.

Rooting is really easy on this phone, Knox or otherwise makes no difference. Check out Android Forums, Virgin Mobile All Things Root subforum. More device-specific info, including how to root; we piggyback off Sprint in terms of custom ROM's and such, so the Sprint XDA forums are useful for users on VM and Boost, but like I said, if you want to get specific info for the VM variant, that is the way to go.

Noob trying to flash Kitkat on T-mo S2

Hey guys. Coming from Win-mo where everything is just straight forward so this stuff is pretty new. I am trying to find a Kitkat rom for my T-mo S2. I can't seem to find any threads specifically talking about branded phones.
Can anyone help me out here? Info
The phone isn't rooted and on stock jellybean 4.1.2.
If you can direct me to some step by step threads or even better actually telling me what to do step by step it'd be appreciated. Thank you.
I presume you have a SGH T-989 ? If so, you're in the wrong place, your thread belongs here. I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.
Yeah I realized that after I posted, I just couldn't figure out what the differences were. Thank you for the help.

Cyanogenmod 11 runs Kit Kat. You can download it from the official page. As for the actual flashing, you need to have root and the latest Clockworkmod installed, as I have read about some issues if you try to flash it with other custom recoveries or older versions of it.
You don't need to root. Just flash the recovery and flash the rom. The rom itself is rooted. If you want to root your stock rom flash the su zip in recovery
