The Boost Mobile version of the Galaxy s2 has an official update to Android 4.1.2 Jellybean, is it possible to modify the tar file from that update package to be compatible with our AT&T SGH-i777 models?? The upgrade tool can be gotten from Samsung's website and then can be installed on the computer, during the install process it extracts the tar file update along with other needed stuff to install to the phone through Download Mode. I really hope this is possible as I would love to have a close-to-stock version of Android 4.1.2 Jellybean for our device, any help/feedback about this would be greatly appreciated...

This is the DEVELOPMENT forum. Not Q&A. Wrong forum. Plus, why would we want to use Boost's version off their S2, when we could grab 4.1.2 from the AOSP (already done) ? That makes no sense whatsoever.

To answer your question is because our device doesn't have an official update for Android 4.1.2 Jellybean, and this would be as close as we could get with some modifications to it, is it me or does it seem like people aren't interested in the question I asked, cause it seems like people are just being negative about it...

Considering the fact that the I9100 OFFICIAL ROM works just fine on our device, that's the closest you'll get.

I have a GS3 from KT. I was just wanting to know if I rooted the phone could I use an international rom on the phone? I don't want to brick this thing because I just got it.
No. You will brick your device doing that. Your version is not the same as international version.

Any idea why there is no OTA jelly bean for me yet?
Also,any idea if it should be even available for me ?
Updates are dependent on many factors, including where you live.
Ask Samsung directly
Or root and take control.
Good luck
When it comes to rooting - I'm a total rookie..
Where I can ask samsung about it ?
It's not difficult to root s3
Take an hour, a pc
Search s3 thread for root kit, it's all explained and semi automatic there
Odin is included in above and will be used to root in seconds.
Make sure you understand what you will be doing, follow steps properly. An hour should be enough to read and do rooting
If you need to ask Samsung, go to their website, check contact us section for your country.

press thanks if I helped you
relatively, you can go to sammobile.com and download the latest official jb firmware..
but take not that the updates also depend on the region are currently in.. so if let's say you download the Polish JB firmware, and you are not from Poland... then you won't have to get OTA updates.. you have to update your phone manually
Cheers!

Android_lil,
I had great success using the ExynosAbuse. Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35512626
It is pretty much as simple as installing the APK. I think I stayed on the stock 4.1.2 for about a day before I started flashing other ROMs, but I didn't notice any problems...
Have fun!

Check out the thread that was made for the new stock release. Apparently you can root with something called Framaroot. I've never used it but someone in that thread confirmed that it worked for them.

I am pretty sure they patched this exploit with the 4.0.4 udate. I don't think you will have any luck with ExynosAbuse. You will have to use more traditional methods. Start with the stickies in the q&a section of this forum.

I used Framaroot. Just download the .apk file, install it, run the app, and choose the "Aragorn" exploit. It will run, then tell you that you need to restart. Very easy.

Now that you mention it, I was at 4.04, not 4.1.2. According to my notes XynosAbuse was successful for me. Regardless, it still means my experience doesn't help the OP, since it was the wrong version anyway.
Thanks!
---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------
I read through more of the XynosAbuse thread and confirmed. Yes it works on 4.04, the patch was in 4.1.2. So, to the OP: XynosAbuse will not work for you. Sorry to mis-lead. Glad I could at least clarify what _won't_ work...
Framaroot worked for me using Aragorn exploit on newest stock 4.1.2 release via kies.

I have spent the last 3 hours trying to educate myself on all this stuff. I have an AT&T I777 running the 4.1.2 that AT&T released recently. It runs fine but I've read so much of the advantages of rooting and custom roms that I figured I'd give it a try. This couldn't have been easier! I understand that the way to understand if the root was successful, I should have the "Superuser" app which I do! The whole process took maybe 5 minutes! Thank you for posting this!
Well yes super user will be installed but that's just an app used to allow apps superuser access. That isn't what roots the phone or anything. You could have root access without having that app installed, it just would be far less secure because you need some way to regulate what apps can do what.

I haven't heard of any other way of rooting. Framaroot has worked for almost everyone though. AJ Newkirk has recently posted a kernel with no swap that will work with stock 4.1.2. See the OP of the AJK kernel and use the third one.

No opinion, as I haven't used either one of them. But they are both based on Siyah, so my guess is yes.

Root with the framaroot app, then use Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro to install the custom kernel. Use the AJK version made for stock JB.

I doubt you'll find one. You could make it yourself. You need Linux, or cigwin, or it can actually be done on your phone if it's rooted and has busybox and terminal emulator.

If you do weird things to your phone then you will break it. Efs v2 will not be read by 4.0 firmware, there is no way to downgrade.
Questions go in the q&a forum. Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.

I think there is some way, but you would need a backup of EFS v1 (if im not mistaken). Basically its a long and tedious process and i know that JB is complete crap on the SIII and that ICS ran alot better, but i dont think its currently worth the effort to downgrade, just wait for KK.
Also sudden death only affects 16GB variants.
What about for example if I'm using slim kat 4.4.2 right now, is it possible to downgrade back to stock rom 4.3 by flashing it? I remember I did it before, is it risky like this scenario?

You can flash a 4.3 rom over slim kat. Just do a clean install. I have been hopping between cm11 and stock 4.3 for quite some time and have not had issues.

You are in the correct forums. Yay. Last stock for this device was 4.1.2 Jellybean. However there is a bazillion custom Roms that have been developed for this device up to and surpassing this version. Every individual phone behaves slightly different...keep this in mind. There were Telus, Bell wireless, Rogers and AT&T versions of original firmware available on this phone, possibly others. Most customs will likely work though. There are different methods which can be found in these forums of rooting your device and installing a custom recovery with which you can flash custom Roms. Have fun. Read lots and Google is your best friend. The community here can also be very helpful.

Your status 7 on gapps means you were using an outdated recovery. This may very well have been your issue. Though you switched to new cwm, you could have upgraded your twrp to gimmeitorilltell's 2.8.0.0 and you likely would have had no problem.
