their servers are being slammed by the hordes of orc like humans salivating over their precious jelly beans.

Thanks Shabbypenguin everything worked perfect. I updated using Odin and I did not have any problem.

Hey guys what's up, I had a quick question are you also getting lag on notification bar when there is an actual notification? Like scrolling lags and stuff. Thanks

Yes, I think it's normal tho, Galaxy Note 2 has that too

ah ok sorry guys seems it worked for every other carrier on android was a trick i read on xda but seems what they are doing is sending the actual update to each market indivually so if your market dont have it yet its cuz they dont have it yet. anyways im guessing everyone should be updated before sunday.

I used the Samsung Gs3 Toolkit to root since it was the quickest way for me to get all the files needed. Took me about 3 mins to root after I used Odin to do the Jelly Bean update.

How do I root with the Gs3 Toolkit?? Can anyone provide links to the files and instructions?


I used a batch file the last time.

Hello android friends!
I literally made this profile to ask a few things. I've reading this entire thread following on the 4.1.2 update release. Now that's released it only includes jelly bean which blows btw. Okay, reading all the comments I saw that you guys talked about a few roms like Carbon and Metropolis. Which one of those have a fully functional and stable premium suite? If not what Rom out there does?
I love the stock rom but I really want the premium suite with all its new kickass features! > if we have to wait another year or never get the premium suite I'm totally going to root and flash a Rom that has it.
Anyways thanks in advance!

I'm not gonna install Clockworkmod Recovery on my phone. Had bad experience with it the last time. It's almost impossible to remove it once it gets onto a phone.

 

[kb0sdq]

Still waiting every time I try for the update I get the try later.
will keep trying.

well if u follow instructions u cant go wrong.

 

[droidmix]

ok I'm back in MetroPolis...

that will depend in which method u took to flash new 4.1.2. if you did normal ota update your in trouble or if u just did plain simple on the pc odin your in trouble. but if you flashed the zip shabby did or used mobile odin and kept root and recovery your fine.


well not serious trouble but would involve you downgrading to ics via odin again to be bone stock then re-rooting and installing twrp again.
