Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat coming to SGS3 - confirmed!

Cool news today from Samsung! :victory:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2014/02/18/samsung-outlines-kitkat-plans-for-existing-devices/
Of course, this is subject to carrier's approval...

Good news. The best part of this news is that is was confirmed by Samsung US so us here in North America will be getting this update.
YAY!

Thanks for the update.

Do you think it'll have the new touchwiz interface the sV is getting ?

I like all of you was happy to hear the news. However, with kitkat comes a new way (sounds not good for people who like to move items to removable sd cards) for us to manage our files. Im still a little confused on exactly what this means, but I guess time will tell.

Never thought we would see it .. damn ..

Any idea if this will be with the new touchwiz ui??

Should we start a pool on when it'll actually come out? I'm betting something like 8 months from now.

The only problem with that article was this statement....
"The full list is below, and of course they are subject to carrier approval."
You know AT&T will be the last and Verizon will be first, hopefully AT&T will decide to release the update to the S3.

For god sake, please remove the 4.3 Knox bootloader in the KitKat update.

No more official updates for S3, Android 4.3 was the last update.

That's from Samsung Poland regarding the international i9300 version.
Pretty sure the international i9300 will get the 4.4.2 update elsewhere in Europe.
And unless Samsung USA backtracks on its commitment to bring Android 4.4.2 to the North American SGS3, I'm confident we'll see it.

The problem that I have is that the official announcement says "select carriers" leaving me to believe that there is a possibility it could never happen with AT&T. Of course since AT&T is so large I think it will go through to avoid a massive swarm of complaints. It really comes down to how quickly they will push the release.

Good, now they can release the stock 4.3 so those of us that took the OTA update have a way back to stock.

They didn't release the 4.1.2... I will be surprised if we ever get another Odin tar.

Pretty sure Sprint releases the first update, followed by T-Mobile...then AT&T and finally Verizon. It's been that way for all devices. Ex.: the 4.3 update.

WOW, ANOTHER TOY TO PLAY WITH. OH MY GOD. WHEN DO WE GET IT? WHEN DO WE GET IT? HURRY UP AT&T. I CANNOT WAIT. OH MY GOD! WHEN DO WE GET IT? WHEN DO WE GET IT?
Look, if we ever get this update, can at least some of you hold off for a little bit and see what the update does to some of the other phones first (does it lock the bootloader, does it make battery life worse, what apps might have issues, is there a way to go back in case something goes wrong) and not make the same mistake that so many of us make with these phones by rushing to these toys, oops, updates impatiently the very first day that they come out. I call these updates toys because with the exception of the phones that have major issues, all these updates are around here is just something new to play with.
BUT WHAT IF I WANT TO, SHORTYDOGGG?
Forget it. I see that I won't get through to everybody because we are all different. Carry on everyone.

As much as I hope it is released for our phones, a single person who does live chats all day may not be the most rock-solid source. Any number of things could turn out to have happened, from misreading an information sheet before giving you said information to her being just plain wrong.
Thank you for posting this though, it is important that up to date information like that is made public. Its just that I'm not sure if one representative saying it is on its way is a complete confirmation.
Does anyone know how reliable these live chats usually are?

Not very reliable in this case since they are not allowed to give too much information out to the public. I posted a thread after I talked to one of Samsung's live representatives and they told me that the update would come in a matter of weeks. You can check my thread out if you want.

Ah yes I found that thread. Well if it was more than just one confirmation that adds too the legitimacy :good: I don't want to get my hopes up but its looking good!

I'd love for this to be true. I'm holding off on updating to a custom rom in case they push KitKat and it doesn't work after using the stock restore posted.

I was talking with AT&T repair regarding my phone freezing when switching from portrait to landscape since the 4.3 OTA and they told me they were not aware of a fix coming out for this, but that 4.4 will probably come out in a couple months and it may replace whatever is causing the problem. When I went to the Samsung Experience center to let them force the OTA onto my phone again to see if that would fix the issue, that tech said the same thing about 4.4 coming out, but he thought my freeze issue is hardware related.

I just went to change my sim card to one with secure element, and ask guy at At&t store ( is said "manager" on his name tag) about kitkat for S3. He answer
We don't have any specific date, but I heard it should be at mid May.

Make sense since S5 will be release in April so they can bust sell of S5 before they let us have it KitKat on S3.

Can anyone explain what would be the advantage of an official kk rollout from AT&T?
At this point in time AOSP kk roms are fully functional, no need to hang with an ugly fat chick like touchwiz haha

I've been using kk with pwncake's Quantum ROM for so long now, that I'm not very inclined to go back to touchwiz either. It's just too late.

Kit Kat does bring down memory usage, so if you use or want some of the S applications and features that Touchwiz has, you should see better performance due to released memory.
Theoretically that is, I've been on CM11 nightlies for awhile now.

Some cant work with non stock roms...

[Q] When will we see CyanogenMod for the G3?

I'm going to get the G3 on late June or July,but I'd like to install CyanogenMod!
Anyone knows when I'll be able to do that?

Sure I predict July the 15 th 2055.... Come on they haven't even released to us .... And the bootloader may be locked so you may never have cyanogen

Do you really think we won't be able to install Cyanogen? ¬¬''

you have to keep in mind the device still doesn't even have a custom recovery yet(neither has it been released worldwide) and lg put in some interesting things on the phone, other than the fact the bootloader is locked(just like the g2, g pro2, g flex, etc) there seems to be some more partitions in there(2 bootloaders, 2 root checking related partitions, etc) the g3 is going to be a tuff nut to crack and it will take some time for development to move the way people would like it to especially in the custom rom department, and we can expect that after the us/uk variants launch we will see some progress but if you want the device for aosp then get a nexus

This surely must be closer. Custom recovery is now available (if I am correct) ....
Any news?

Custom recovery is not yet available. The T-Mobile variant bootloader came factory unlocked, so they will have TWRP shortly and custom AOSP/AOKP ROMs and kernels soon, but none of the other models yet. It could be next week, could be next month, could be next year for the rest of us.
I'm hopeful that it will be within the month, it seems like quite a few devs are attacking it. They're starting with universal root first though, so we'll just have to be patient.

Any news?

More than Cyanogen? Let's get real, except for the Nexus Cyanogen is usually pretty buggy even after multiple releases and I never thought it adds any particular value to my experience... Well, except for some weird looking icons and strange choice of color schemes. Sure, if you are into theming your phone there may be something there for you, but the first thing I do with any phone is install a plain black background, select white fonts and move on. If you feel the launcher is buggy there is Nova or apex.

Lollipop officially rolling out... on Sprint.

Lollipop update is officially rolling out on Sprint Devices, so hopefully we're next/soon.

Seeing how close the devs are to getting this device root I suggest holding off on accepting the update when it does roll out.

Because that's what people do here. That and start threads asking if there's root, or when Lollipop is coming to our version. Or come up with conspiracy theories as to why we don't yet have Lollipop. Or...

It's safe to say: Root is not coming. I would jump on Lollipop asap. Anything is better than the current lag on this phone. Hopefully its less Samsung customed like how they did the New S6.
I also have a Tmobile rooted also, so I know how laggy the AT&T version is. Heck, my Moto G (2014) is snappier.

Do you think anyone will create a rooted, non knox, and debloated Verison of android marshmallow for note 4? Using touchwiz of course since aosp is werid

Honestly i'm perfectly happy with this Note 4. Plus i paid over $350 for it on contract so i want to get my money's worth LOL. I haven't seen a new phone worth upgrading to yet. I'm watching for the new Note 6/7 to see if it will be modder friendly and have an unlocked bootloader. That's what i will switch to next!

Yeah, i still owe about 5 more payments on my phone since i wasn't allowed to do a contract. The s7 disappointed me with the locked bootloader. Hoping that samsung doesn't follow the practice with this. Verizon & AT&T have been doing that for a while though. I just know that i can't go back to iPhone without jailbreaking (which are rare now) and won't keep a phone that i can't root. I love my root apps
I think i've used all your ROMS so far and i appreciate your work dearly.

TX is the man when it comes to roms on the N4, I still run Moar on my old note. Never give up faith, he never releases anything less than perfect, just takes some patience.
