Update your ROM, via ROM Manager (If available) and scanning through the forums, every now and again..
I use AnTuTu CPU Master free - Simple, good looking and does the job - Also I'd recommend the SiyahKernel, bei GokHanmoral (See his website: here
Download the latest kernel for your ROM, based on if it's Stock, AOSP or AOKP..
Hope I could help!

Stock means samsung firmware and AOSP/AOKP are firmwares build from the "android source code" released by google without samsung modification/framework. "real android". use aosp rom if you don't like touchwiz or miss nexus functions

you can update with odin, don't need app's like rom manager or ota updates (ota = over the air, means updates without software and cable)

The kernel is the "boss" of the OS, which contains all the drivers and commands.
Imagine an OS (Operating System) as a company,
you have following in the OS (company):
the kernel - Boss
the shell - the office/s
the utilities - the outpost/s
The kernel is, like I said, the boss and tells which part of thecompany has to do what, at which point in time.
The shell is the office and calls everyine, making sure everything is going to plan, and delivering commands, from the kernel (boss), to the utilities and externel sources.
The utilities are your main working area, where you can interact actively with the OS and make changes to it, including changes to the UI, settings and apps (programs).
And that's how an operating system works, I hope I broke it down enough, for everyone to understand
Hope I could help!

Well, the main difference is, that they are practicly ll the same.
What most people understand as "stock" firmware, is AOSP code, released by Google, and then modified by the different manufacturers, to give their devices that typical (i.e.) Samsung look.
AOSP is the stock (unmodified and pure) Android code, that is periodicly released by Google, to maintain Android and the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
AOKP means Android Open Kang(ed) Project, kanged code is code, taken from source, and modified, to then be made open source again.
If you take what I write/say seriously (Which you should), then "stock" which, by the way, is branded software, is only a kang, of the AOSP code, so each and every one of you, who has left their device stock, with what they got delivered with, is using a kanged Android ROM.
Hope I could help!

You are the probably not using ROM Manager Premium, buy a key, from Kousch, and then you will be able to set it up
OTA - Over The Air, AKA FOTA = Firmware (Update) Over the Air

Btw i checked tht my rom manager is already the premium version.... so perhaps the reason tht i cant update ota is becuz i flashed 4.1.1 JB not officially???

Your kernel version is listed in Settings -> About Device
You can download Odin from Sammobile.com/firmware, or buy Mobile Odin from the Play Store.
Mobile Odin has the abilty to auto-detect what sort of tar you want to flash, so you don't have to be an expert in those things to flash a simple kernel

No, then it just means, that your ROM doesn't support OTA/FOTA updates..

LG familyguy59/Beatsleigher

Beware with overclocking, that's actually the only way a software can fry your hardware if something goes wrong.
In this case, the warranty will definitly not work.
Either you have modified your device and won't get OTA, you need to go through odin. I think only rooting allows you to get them through kies though.
OR
you have to (triangle away and) go back to a stock rom and you will have update through OTA

So u mean i needa unroot my device???

Wrong - Any modification to the device will "tur off" the ability to Update OTA..
You can update via CWM, TWRP, Odin, Mobile Odin, ADB and so.. And waranty will work in some cases, if you have bought your phone in a shop - it won't work, if you have a contract, just send it in and request a new one..

OK let's clarify something, someone here is giving bad advice.
1.) Don't use ROM manager to flash ROMs or anything else, it can cause issues.
Use it to download them but flash them via your recovery (cwm,twrp etc.) Or with mobile Odin.
2.) If you root your device then it will show as system modified and stop you getting OTAs, we don't care about OTAs on xda, we get it here to flash before 99% of people get OTAs.
3.) TL;DR about kernels: they give you control over your hardware, they allow you to overclock your CPU and GPU, undervolt them too. Also with the S3 we can alter the equaliser settings in our audio chip (Wolfson, great hardware)
Don't worry about the rest, research that in your own time, but DO research it.
4.) Triangle away is an app by chain fire that removes the binary flash count in the bootloader. To simplify, Samsung inserted a mechanism besides the system modified one, that registers if we change anything in our system so if we send it back they can know if we tampered with the system.
Triangle away sets it back to zero.

Come on dude, even if you HAVE modified your device, some ROMs still have FOTA enabled, like with Update Me, ROM Manager and kitchen apps, so what you were saying was wrong - I was not insulting anyone, nor am I "Mind limited". Retarded is the word, btw.
You can use Mobile Odin, to go back to stock, but you don't need to, I'm pretty sure, that as long as the counter states the device is running stock firmware, you can still receive FOTAs.. I'm not too sure, though..
P.S. The OP didn't say he's running stock (rooted/modified) firmware, did he?

Btw, wat is OP?? And is it gd for me to flash cm10 or should i just wait for JB 4.2?? if yes, when and where can I find the jb 4.2 file or package (idk wat its called)And wats the difference between using mobile odin and the original odin that i used before to flash jb 4.1.1??

OP is original post, as in first post in a thread.
As for cm10 well you can always flash it if you want to and when/if 4.2 official drops then you can just flash that, you are never stuck on one or the other.
You can download firmwares from samfirmware.com.
You need a PC/laptop to use Odin, mobile Odin is an app on your phone with the same functionality as Odin.
Its really convenient.

Custom ROM != stock ROM when it comes to OTAs, stop trying to cover your tracks by twisting what was said.
On stock and rooted = no OTAs.
Custom ROMs with OTAs means you can get updates of that custom ROM only and they aren't even real OTAs, it just downloads the full firmware as opposed to the deltas.
The jury is still out on whether or not you are "mind limited" or "retarded" as you said yourself.

Root Status

Just wondering if anyone has tried rooting their Canadian Notes. I'd try it on one of the Notes at my store if I could.
Methods that might work:
S2 Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414&highlight=unroot
This is supposed to work with all Samsung devices
Super One Click 2.3.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
There are a couple other Skyrocket methods that could be attempted too. But I don't see why these 2 methods wouldn't work. If someone could try them out and report back, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.
Can't comment on the first method since I don't feel like patching in sketchy kernels, but Super One Click is a big pile of fail on this one, as is the zergrush exploit in general. Both just crash out and fail to get permissions.

Hmm... It probably won't be any different for the AT&T version. I'll give every method a shot though.
I'm going to wait to see if someone will release a kernel that already has root more than likely.

I am using a Korean note which is the exact version as the AT&T version
The way to do it would be to flash a kernel which would enable root
I wonder if it would apply to the devices in Canada Nd the Us eversions
Well when it gets here I'm going to use SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and do temp root and see if it works so I don't break it lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Using the Canadian Telus version - SGH-I717D - the latest Super One Click 2.3.3 fails when attempting the zergrush exploit.
Using the S2 Root mentioned above (without flashing anything extra, mind you), it says:
Device Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
Device Model: SGH-I717D
ROM Build: SGH-I717D-user 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD 207 release-keys
...click "Root Device"...
Checking Device Connection...
Device Connected!
Restarting ADB Server...
Checking ROOT Access...
Superuser Request Has Been DENIED! Aborting...
if I remember correctly, many users of the galaxy s series had trouble rooting at one point because of the signature verification in the 3e recovery. So if the note has the same recovery you won't be able to root using super one click until you remove this verification process. Can anyone try rebooting into recovery to check what recovery they are using.

Hi guys,
I have my note in hand, just gotta run a few errands and I will get root going shortly.
Easiest method will probably be building a kernel with root already included, anyone know of a stock ROM floating about, that would make it a bit easier Reply @ my post in ROM dev forum, thanks

Your right about passion, I personally like Schimera it's really nice and customizable. Although jellybean is the one that gave me a some-what soft brick. I made a post about it called SD card, yeah that was thanks to the jellybean rom I used. So until an actual stable jelly bean rom comes out I'm gonna try that. Also the passion one was running quite well except the GPS terribly sucked.

Sorry in advance but *sigh*. This is the 4th one in a week. The TMo 4g (SGH-T959V) is NOT the same as the Vibrant (SGH-T959) . You need to flash the correct pit and PDA files for your device. They Alsop have their own threads and forums. Just search and you will find them.

I agree. If you ever want a clean install, formatting system is one of the puzzle pieces to do so. Wiping system and data and caches is not the same as formatting them.
Anyone can download the toolbox from my signature. I have it permanently hosted there.

Most OPs should state this and my ICS install guide definitely states it. Btw those videos that show the ICS and JB installs are not all they are cracked up to be. There are edited and don't include "everything" to properly flash.

Sorry in advance but *sigh*. This is the 4th one in a week. The TMo 4g (SGH-T959V) is NOT the same as the Vibrant (SGH-T959) . You need to flash the correct pit and PDA files for your device. They Alsop have their own threads and forums. Just search and you will find them.
I agree. If you ever want a clean install, formatting system is one of the puzzle pieces to do so. Wiping system and data and caches is not the same as formatting them.
Anyone can download the toolbox from my signature. I have it permanently hosted there.
Kool, I am out of thanks for the day but I'll hit you up tomorrow. Too lazy to get my phone out of the other room and use the app.

Hmm, I never thought about wiping the system, well if you insist I will do that if I get the SD card problem fixed. If not I will buy the Google Nexus S. Thanks for the advice though.

Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 root help

Ok. So How exactly do i root my 3.6?
I'm on 2.3.6 android.
I saw the other topic. But im not about to scroll through 204 replies. Can someone just give me a step by step guide?!
It may be the same as the 4.0's root process, which is here. It's probably just possible to use superoneclick and root, or you could always flash a rooted ROM with recovery. Here is the link to the root for 4.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384806 Hope this helps, and have fun with root!
How do i flash and what is a recovery? Also what is a rom. XD

Ok you have the us version. Can you verify if a update is aviable in samsung kies (don't install it). Samsung kies can be download on the samsung web site. (It's for copy the us rom : the rom is a package with full android system, this packageis used for update a device or modify it.)
On mobile or desktop?

You'll lose it but you can get it back by using odin to install recovery (TWRP 2.5) and TWRP will see you have no root and ask you if you want to install it before you reboot

Your Browser must not have downloaded it correctly then.. Cause it reports the correct size when downloading and extracts just fine.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Firmware Update has Failed

Hi, I'm trying to update my s3 from 4.1.2 to 4.3..I was able to download the update ok but when I install it, it only goes to 25% then briefly shows a wee Android guy on his back with a red triangle. Then the phone reboots and I get a message saying that the firmware update has failed.. I've got stock firmware and have never tampered with it using custom firmware or any of that rubbish.. Can anyone help please

Which firmware are you trying to install and how are you trying to install it.
Like I said in my post, I'm on 4.1.2 and am trying to install 4.3..It's an over the air update.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
A guess you are rooted so OTA as per the faqs and guides has failed .
Use Kies or flash a rom via Odin .
A guess as the OP is lacking information .
But whatever you are posting in the wrong forum if you have an I9305 .
No i am not rooted. As i stated in my op, I am on stock firmware and have never tampered with it... And I do mean NEVER as in not rooted or any other of the goobldegook things that gets spoke in here... Now can anyone tell me how to sort this bug out?

Not with your attitude go ask Samsung this is a developers forum .
Any advice from here is as said Use Kies to update or flash a stock rom via odin . We cannot fix OTA by any other methods .

The question about the firmware was not the version I could read that it was what country or carrier specific type UK, (BTU), O2, Vodafone or whatever.
You really need to calm down otherwise you wont get help people will ignore you and the mods will be the one that close your threads and ban you, are you this aggressive towards people you work with.
The less detail you give the less we can get help, so we ask the questions to try and find out exactly what you are wanting to do, just updating 4.1.2 to 4.3 isn't enough on an international forum.
Sorry was seriously stressed at the time. And i took some of these replies to be seriously condescending.
I'm in the uk and using an unbranded s3..I've factory reset the thing and it still has the same error. I also booted it holding the up, home and off button. Then cleared thr cache. Still thr problem remains.

Hi
This has just happened to me today as well. My phone kept getting the you need to wait your turn message and then it finally downloaded today but upon install it got to 27 percent and rebooted back up.
It how says it is the latest version.
I'm also in the UK on Three however my phone is rooted but I did run triangle away to reset the counter and disable supersu first.
It is running stock firmware - JZO54K.I9300XXEMG4
I guess ill install using Kies later. I hope it can install with losing anything? Ill read up later - just driven back from Scotland back to Midlands so a little tired atm

Hi Yellow Yogult
You can get OTA when rooted you just need to ensure your counter is reset and also the status is set back as normal using triangleaway as it describes.
I believe the other guy said earlier that it was his wifes s3 but he has an s4 (or was it the other way round?).
I'm just going to follow the advise to use Kies instead though after a little reading up.

Just as an update....
Following the advise given previously, I have used Kies instead of the OTA and the update has worked perfectly with no issues.

Well. If u are rooted, u can nvr be Official in device status as the phone checks if u are rooted every time u restart. So even if u use triangle away, when u reboot. U are still rooted. So the device status will STILL be MODIFIED. I did it

Not quite true. triangle away has the ability for this reason to reboot and fix the status from modified into normal.
I've just looked up a guide to basically how I did it.

Yeah, as I said previously it worked fine. Downloaded the 4.3 update through OTA however upon install stopped at 27 percent and just rebooted back.
I guess it would just be more sensible just use Kies anyway as it was very easy.
Ill sort out that thanks
