How is the new fw? Several updates have been available for download but you are the first one to give a description. Thanks for this!
I flashed the ML4 fw via ODIN and what I immediately noticed is a more responsive home button. I was beginning to suspect hardware problem but this update hopefully proved me wrong.

Yes mate, it Seems a bit more responsive for sure and battery seems to last a bit longer too.. Just the third day but battery lasting more I am sure as I lost only about 4% at night (with 3g on), when previously I use to lose around 10%.
Let's hope we get 4.3 or 4.4 soon.

r u rooted? ?
I am rooted on stock but my device status is official with the help of triangle aay but when I try to check the software update this error comes " No software updates available. Maximum number of roll-out updates exceeded. Please try lates or update your device via keys
any solution for it?? plz help
I am not rooted and total stock mate.
Don't think update is available to rooted devices although the message you are getting shows that you might be able to download the update just keep trying and within 48 hours you will get this update for sure.

Battery backup seems to have improve a lot with this update:
This is when I am using my phone with 3g always on (but for 6 hours at night) and 6 emails always on sync.
Don't play games though so that might be the reason for such good battery life.

ok bro I flashed stock official but rooted and reseted the counters with triangle away atlast again device status official so got update downloaded it installed it the phone reeboted and popup came update not installed please update from kies
Go full stock, update and then root. Tha should work for you.
Sent from my GT-I9152 using Tapatalk
@hardik190 since you are already doing flashing why not just download the latest firmware from samsung-updates.com then flash thru odin? after that you can root.Also if your recovery is custom and not stock your status will always be custom even with triangle away,

I just tried kingo root on ANA1 it says "Roor failed Not Support".
their support team helped me the first time I rooted, my problems came from internet connectivity, kept loosing it during their root process
my mega isn't in front of me to tell you which version but it's the one from metro
also you have to keep your eye on the phone and the computer, there might be permission notices on the phone and some disconnect reconnect notices on the computer,

There's easy way to root and install custom recovery (TWRP) available in the forum hence I won't bother with the kingoapp.
Check the development forum and you will find the topic.
Here's the link to the topic-

Twrp is good but kingo is one click root thru windows. No need to go into download mode. No binary count increase or system status change to custom. However I think samsung had patched the vulnerability on the latest firmware thus kingo no longer works. Kingo worked on older fw.

Hello,
I have just gotten a MetroPCS Samsung Galaxy S3
I have gone and watched videos from wwjoshdew and followed these links
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
But those are for Sprint/Verizon/AT&T/Tmo
So I was wondering does anyone know if the Sprint version will work on MetroPCS S3's or
does it need a 'new image' or what?
Since I can not ask this noob question I am asking it here.
If it could be forwarded to someone who is a developer and such I would appreciate it.
I just got the phone 10/20/12 and the "offical" release is 10/22/12 on www.metropcs.com but the corporate stores (like here in Miami) had it available on 10/19/12.
So, since it's new I understand that part of the question but if anyone does know, please let me know.:fingers-crossed:

You should be able to root your phone using the tool I have attached it is based on the DebugFSroot method :fingers-crossed:. Make sure to install the drivers for your phone first before attempting to use this tool, after you download it unzip the file to your desktop, plug your phone into your computer, then execute the bat file and follow the instructions (Note this is for Windows only).
Here is a screen shot of About on my phone
**This is the screen shot from the phone.*** <<- would not let me post a outside link since I just read on this forum and not post (since I am no developer, just 3 posts so far)
Have to cut/paste this link I guess
picasaweb.google.com/114859325136619356966/MetroPCSGalaxyS3
So again, I just ask do you think this tool would work on this.
I am hesitant because this is not like the other phones in which they have been Gingerbread or my wife's which is 4.0 but it is a LG Motion (MetroPCS) and the root was simple (just followed a youtube video) and the phone was $149.
This one, for me, was $500, so I don't want to get a $500 brick and then try to return/exchange it.
So I am cautious when it comes to doing this.
Thanks,
philmiami

To unlock the phone you will need a SIM unlock code you can find many different places to purchase a SIM unlock code, and I believe if your account is in good standing with Metro and your nice to them they might be able to unlock it for you. Also here is a link to Clockworkmod 6.0.1.5 for the MetroPCS Galaxy S3. Enjoy my friend .
Already got root thanks
It did not take long for someone to have the root process (even for a mac) in one of the other forums
so I got my phone rooted
put titanium backup pro on there and froze the bloatware from MetroPCS
so it's doing good for me
and a lot better phone than the LG Esteem 4G I had (with MetroPCS)

are you 100% sure of this? do you have proof?
They said the same of every LTE phone out there but most (if not all) of them support GSM at a varying degree, from my rezound that needed firmware updates to be fully functional to the iphone 5 that is fully capable and unlocked.
I mostly wanted to post this to know the truth and so other people looking out there don't get confused by this post that may or may not be true

I would recommend uninstalling the drivers you installed then re-installing them. Also make sure USB debugging is checked in developer options.

Is your IMEI number still intact? Because if it has been altered it will effect your ability to use mobile data. Also I would suggest re-flashing the stock ROM and seeing if that fixes your data connection issue.
Thanks for the reply. After going into Rom Manager Pro and selecting reboot my data is now working. Not sure why, I rebooted from the power button many times before and nothing happened. All is well again though.

Can you please try Triangle Away 2.70 and see if it works?
We're also trying to get you officially added to Mobile Odin.

You should just need to download Mobile Odin Free, follow the prompts to make a dump, upload and link the dump.

The current DebugFSroot method no longer works with the official Jellybean 4.1.2 update. Samsung has just started pushing the update onto MetroPCS phones. The update erased root access, and now I can't find anything to re-root my phone other than flashing a modded/rooted ROM via Odin, which I am NOT going to do. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to root MetroPCS Samsung Galaxy S3 4.1.2 Jellybean?

yeah cant get my phone to work with odin right now went back to stock to get the update and now im not sure how to fix this...???
Looks like the credible SamMobile has 4.4.2 kitkat in their palms. We could expect a leak to be soon, in the past they have been really good about leaking firmware like how they already have for the s4 by contacting thier "elite friends."The picture below is a screenshot of the kitkat easteregg and wrote note 3 on it. Some of the things im most looking forwards to is Google wallet and the ability to hide apps from the app drawer. FUNFUNFUN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E4dspICPJE
Basicly saying we'll leak it when it become more stable. It doesn't surprise me considering the s4 got it leaked already, but what does surprise me is that they got a kitkat leak first, considering we have the newer/premium device.
SamMobile on twitter posted "#NEXTUPDATE (Too buggy atm)"

OK just a thought but if we do get the release.... the leaked one could there be a chance that there is some way we could unlock the bootloader.. being that it is a leak not fully locked down like the officials would be.

They leak will be as locked down if it's for our variant... And either way, chances are It will be for the international version so either way it's irrelevant. But it shouldn't be too hard to port it hopefully.

Can this be installed on a Dev edition? Since it probably has the aboot partition included, will it lock the Dev edition phone? Once a dev makes this rom suitable for the retail version, is there a way to extract and repack the files without the aboot portion? How does one make an Odin-flashable file anyway if one has the partitions like boot.img, modem.bin etc? I've always been wanting to learn to make my own Odin .tar files in case I want to flash and don't have recovery installed.
Thanks
Isn't anyone concerned about this update, I mean look at the SE Android Status from N9005 from the test build it is currently showing as Enforcing. For those of us with the Retail SM-N900V doesn't this mean no more Safestrap Recovery? Also, if you go back and read about the Test Firmware it does a complete wipe of Data, so shouldn't we be worried about Root too? I certainly understand the excitement over 4.4.2 but isn't anyone paying attention to what the test build has done?
Hard to be excited about losing Root and Safestrap to get KitKat...

You mean Root has been restored already on the international version, which this is mainly due to the Unlocked Bootloader, which it is simpler to restore Root on a device that has an Unlocked Bootloader as you just install/flash the SU.zip in custom Recovery and Root is restored, works for Unlocked devices. There lies the problem, for those of us with the retail SM-N900V if the KitKat update does a complete wipe on install deleting the internal storage all is lost, if SE is set to Enforcing it could be a cold winter.

It's not really Root I'm worried about, I'm more concerned with Recovery. If the SE status changes from "Permissive" to "Enforcing" there goes our ability to flash new custom 4.4.2 ROMs that I'm sure will come out. It will be like owning a SM-N900A.

I was under the impression that the only data wipe was when people are Odin-ing the update, rather than accepting an OTA. On the past androids i had (incredible, thunderbolt, galaxy nexus, s3, note 10.1, nexus 7) i haven't had an update that wiped data from an OTA.

For some reason I don't think they are going to set it to enforcing. Because they haven't for the past 3 updates. Even if they did. Hash would be able to easily cook up ss because on the at&t note 3 and Verizon s4 and s3 are enforcing and he was able to do it... Never underestimate @Hashcode

Quick note to anyone coming from MJ9, this update can remove your root, and the MJ9 saferoot method will not work on it.
Happy updating to those out there!
I've lost root too..does anyone know of a root process for the build? I haven't tried the process listed in the Development section as it doesn't say anything about the VRUAND3 build...
Thanks!!
Saferoot is not working with the new update VRUAND3 so don't waste your time.

If you updated to 4.3 you cannot go back to 4.1.1
Also going to 4.1.1 is touchy. If you were to go back you need to go to 4.1.2
Basically if you have the official 4.3 update and beyond you cannot unlock the bootloader or in some instances root.
I am using the Skynote Rc2.5 ROM but I am technically coming from 4.1.2. There is no official 4.2.x update for this version of the Note 2.

Right, I was asking because the ND3 update doesn't appear to be any different than MJ9 firmware wise except for what I assume are mostly changes in the baseband to accomodate the Telus bands. I would think that safeboot will be updated easily for this minor build but I am not any expert by any means.
I also saw people talking about for the same Telus update for the S3 to just Odin backflash VRUCNC1 4.3 to VRUCML1 4.3 with success (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575661&page=153). Anyone tried that? I might actually try it myself to get root back. I don't this new "update". I think VZ did this more to take away root than add some really necessary Canadian roaming anyway.

Curious to see what your results are if you do try this. I also feel that VZW did this update more to take root away, especially considering that the base band could have been incorporated into the (hopefully) upcoming 4.4 update.
Yup, this annoyed me enough that I finally got an account!
this update was just to steal root. they had already tried using the my verizon app to take it. telus uses gsm and the same lte frequency verizon uses. all vzw note 2's could already "roam" on telus. this was just vzw being f**ktards trying to control us.
Has anyone been able to revert or re root their phone after this?

Other users are reporting that you can Odin back to MJ9 and then root with saferoot. See this thread for details... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52792973

I was forced the vruand3 update at about 4 am while I was sleeping. I woke up to no root and some issues tied to the freedom app not being uninstalled. I flashed back to mj9 with odin. I rerooted with saferoot. I was still having the connection issues with everything google related. I took the ota update again to try to fix the issue. The google issue fixed itself after the ota, but my root wasn't taken away this time. So now I'm on build vruand3 and have full root access. Maybe someone can shed some light on this , or it will help someone
woke up this morning phone says new software up date=T-MOBILE .?? i check and it is dated 7-19-2014 new version=G00TUVU1BNG3 OS-VERSION 4.4.2

I got my towelroot on nice and tight, because I had a loose towelroot once and it fell of and crashed my phone.
This will be what the G900F international version got about two weeks ago. People report better performance, but it's all unverified claims like always around here. My guess is, and it's just a guess, that this will close the towelroot kernel exploit and get pushed as 'performance' so people update which is a good thing since technically it could be exploited for bad scary things!
edit: The official documentation from T-Mobile is live: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10398 -- and nothing worth reporting. Still lists VoLTE as new but that was the previous update.
ok i just did the up date with mobile odin pro and after reboot i still have towel root working so that is a good thing now to see what is this performance up grade.oh when you do the up date you will need to run su to update binary again.
Put the .tar file SD card. or phone storage
Open Mobile Odin pro.
Scroll down to open file. Press it.
Chose the .tar file.
Checked Enable EverRoot and Inject Superuser.
I choose to wipe dalvik cache which is optional.
Clicked flash firmware and that's it!
you will also need to download the bootloader+modem tar and flash them with odin-3.09 from pc.link to tar are here make sure you use the G900T for t-mobile
Good luck.

Could somebody point me to the mobile odin pro instructions to keep towel root? i have searched and searched and cannot find that thread with the instructions to do so... I would greatly appreciate it.
Any idea what the update adds?

Performance update. It's the same thing the G900F got a while back. This actually isn't too long of a wait...good job tmobile.
For anyone who updated, what's the total RAM available in the task manager? NF6 was 1.81 GB, the international NG2 update (and ktoonsez new update) have 1.67, apparently more RAM is dedicated to the GPU now. I haven't really noticed a difference when ktoonsez included that change...

Everything went smooth. One flash. One time. Still rooted.

Anyone else notice download speeds took a dive again, as happened with a previous update? If I'm not mistaken they released an update that restored the download speeds back to normal.

Does the bootloader version got update also or do we have to use odin from computer to update bootloader.
Like I rooted my 925I variant but now I see all these news articles about ram fixes and I am here like wtf do I do. Here's what I have:
Build: LRX22G.G925IDVU1AOD1
Baseband: G925IDVU1AOD2
SamMobile doesn't even have firmware for devices imported from India. I also see AOE3 for SM-G925I but it's for Trinidad? Like is it safe to flash another countries ROM?
And do I need to full wipe to update?
You come to xda and see if anyone opened a thread about a new update lol. Honestly that's how you don't... And if you have custom rom, you wait until the rom creator updates the rom. If not then you'll have to unroot to get the update

if you dont freeze sdm.apk or are running a custom rom then even with root you will get an alert of a software update but it will just fail to install.

This is what I get: Your device have been modified, Software updates are not available
Same here. Changes
- pingpong root
- AdAway
- Disable 50% of the stuff that comes preinstalled (FB, WhatsApp, G+, Hangouts, etc. etc.)
No update notifications possible
Same question as original post ...
once rooted, how to know if my Rom is the latest or not??
I see some OE4 roms.. is it newer than mine? does it fix the RAM issues??
So many roms nr, it's confusing to know which one is newer...
(I have
build :LRX22G.G925FXXU1OACV
baseband : OCW)
Thanks for help

I'm rooted via pingpong and an update showed up. Waited for download to complete but update failed. Tried twice with similar results. Phone was rebooted and when I check again for check update, it says....
So how do I know if the update was applied? I believe this update doesnt change build. I still see 5.0.2
bottom line once rooted the only updates u will c or get is when or if u get a custom rom and they update that rom
Well, I get the same too on my 925I
"Your device have been modified, Software updates are not available"
There's a new ROM for my region G925IDVU1AOE4. I heard there are slight improvements (not sure how noticeable) on the RAM management. I'll update when I have the time.
I believe as long as you have the same model number, you can flash the ROM regardless of region.
