I'm kinda new to the modding thing.. I have cyanogenmod 10.0. Which is jellybean. But can I still download this update even though I'm not in stock... How? Help would be greatly appreciated

You can,you just have to download the stock image and flash it through Odin.

52. CellularNinja posted on 04 Dec 2012, 17:23 0 0

Okay, I don't exactly know what that means but I appreciate the help. I remember using Odin to get CM10 but I sorta forget.

I am trying to remember of that was true for the captivate - I know on the DROID RAZR that updates do not go through if system apps were deleted or frozen.

Yeah my gf has that same issue. I'm seriously starting to wonder if my og RAZR MAXX will get JB before her.

5. Cha7520 posted on 03 Dec 2012, 22:49 0 0

The RAZR MAXX should be getting it this week I believe. I just can't believe that every other carrier has 4.1 Jelly Bean for the GS3, except Verizon. I had the Galaxy Nexus with Verizon last year and it never got an update. Oh well, its still an awesome phone!

Not the original RAZR MAXX the HD is but I suspect we'll see the update sometime in Q1 of 2013

Knowing Motorola you may not ever see the update if it's anything like they did with their 2011 phones.

JB for Sammy on VZW is available if you are interested in the Note II (Angel).

Blame Samsung - just go to XDA for the update

Why can't you just stop being a baby and just download it yourself?

21. KingKurogiii posted on 04 Dec 2012, 00:25 0 1

you've never used KIES have you?

25. Mxyzptlk posted on 04 Dec 2012, 00:52 0 0

not really, KIES is a real pain in the ass, you'd know that if you used it.

What, I'm critical of something regarding Android and you disagree with me?

It's an unnecessary complication with no justifiable reason to make customers go and download Kies just to get the update.

26. Mxyzptlk posted on 04 Dec 2012, 00:53 0 1

More than what Motorola has done. At least there is an update available.

You're not being critical of Android, you're being critical of AT&T.

what is your deal? this is the SIII we're talking about here, Motorola's Razr HD equivalent is getting JB OTA right now and even if you want to do it manually it's as easy as slapping the update.zip onto the Internal Storage or the SD Card and then just prompting the update from recovery. you just go completely out of your way to troll on Motorola don't you? you're not even good at it. you should just quit.

it's easier and faster from your computer... I downloaded the update, installed the new update, and rebooted my phone in about 12 minutes... that is WAY faster than OTA... now I understand that OTA is more convenient, but quit bitching. first everyone was bitching about NOT having it, and now that you do have it, your bitching about how you have to put it on your phone... just go stand in the corner. powdy pants dont get to be big boys.

Kies is such a pain. I'm so glad that Sprint decided to do OTA updates for my Galaxy S2. I've tried to use Kies before, installing had issues, drivers had issues, and operation in general just isn't worth the hassle.
Bleh.

I never had any problems with Kies but Samsung do need to work on it

AT&T is wayyy too okay with Samsung pushing updates through their trashy KIES software. i had a friend brick a Captivate Glide because of KIES. >>

61. JDBaughman posted on 05 Dec 2012, 14:55 0 0

your friend probably had a rooted phone too. just saying. I like how you called out someone like they were trolling but all I have read from you is a bunch of bs

wth?? my kies would just force close after it says download completed

Hey troll -http://faqoid.com/advisor/android-versions.php

Jellybean has been out for a short time - since July.
Please speak about facts when commenting.

63. JDBaughman posted on 05 Dec 2012, 15:10 0 0

well, it is december and yea, he said "for almost half a year now"... by due process of elimination... and simple mathematics I have come to the conclusion that you are an idiot... 5 months is almost half a year... just saying...

35. Non_Sequitur posted on 04 Dec 2012, 05:27 0 0

That's probably just an issue with the Captivate Glide, seeing as you both had the same issue.
Maybe you should try it, I don't know...

64. JDBaughman posted on 05 Dec 2012, 15:12 1 0

i updated using kies last night... just plug your s3 in and WAIT for it to pop up a software confirmation then hit continue. simple.

40. networkdood posted on 04 Dec 2012, 07:57 0 0

It can be a pain - but there are workarounds....ODIN is a great program for Samsung updates....

41. RORYREVOLUTION posted on 04 Dec 2012, 08:24 1 0

The problem with Kies is half the time it wont even recognize your samsung device when you hook it up to your pc, your pc has no problems but Kies will just keep spinning waiting for you to connect. It has caused a lot of hours of headaches. I got lucky this time woth my SGS3 and Note 2 and didnt have those problems but my god my SGS2 was a nightmare.

46. KingKurogiii posted on 04 Dec 2012, 11:35 0 0

yeah, it seems like it works better with phones of this generation but if you have anything older than the SIII at all you're probably going to run into trouble at some point.

65. elorahd posted on 08 Dec 2012, 15:04 0 0

Deesonw, would you then please come to my house and update my firmware, if you think Kies is so great?? I'm having the same problem that tons of other people are having. Kies downloads the firmware......then closes!! Time and again. This is all it does.
I moved to Android because I wanted a bigger screen......and then I learned about the upgrade process. What a joke! iOS has it all over Android in this department. And many other departments. This phone has been a nightmare. Battery sucks. Signal sucks. 4g doesn't work most of the time. I'm praying iPhone gets a bigger screen soon as I will be going back as quickly as possible.

44. lzsbleach posted on 04 Dec 2012, 08:46 1 0

Now I have to wait for my phone to be fully charged; I dont mind it comming out on kies because when it comes out OTA it takes forever to hit your phone but they should do both. First kies then OTA
