[Q] Samsung Update question sph-710 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this is the first time posting here, but I'm no noob. I've been hacking my phones for over 15 years and using this site since I got a smartphone, just never needed to ask any questions because I always found the answer. I can't seem to find this answer anywhere so I have to ask.
So my question is, I just received a notice from Sprint of a Samsung Software update for my SH-D710 and was wondering if anyone knows what it is? My phone is rooted running
Android version 4.1.2
Kernel Version 3.0.31-1014481
and software GB27
If this is to upgrade to 4.2.2 and if so can you guys give me your opinions on the best rom to use for that.
Thanks again for all you guys do!

[Q] Does Phone Need To Be Unlocked To Flash Firmware?

Hello.
I've looked and looked and looked but cannot find a definitive answer to my question. My sincerest apologies to those who think it's another stupid question.
Does my Galaxy Ace on Orange need to be unlocked before I can flash new firmware? I have not done enough posts yet to mention websites so I hope you'll understand the following www sammobile com - dots in appropriate places!! - stated that I either get the phone unlocked or use provider firmware. I am currently on S5380BVKQA but I hear good things about both KPH and KS2.
I am a noob, but a determined noob. I will not let a minor hindrance defeat me before I've even begun my Android experience.
Cheers

[Q] Requesting infos on i9300 for future hacking!!

Hi to everyone!
I am new here but I have been on the i9000 forums for the last year and more.
My actual i9000 is quite hacked and I am going to get a i9300 with my phone provider next week.
I would like to understand just a few things to know if I'll be in some quite similar situation of hacking or if the i9300 is in some how different from i9000.
My questions are:
What are the differences between the two forums Galaxy S III Android Development and Galaxy S III Original Android Development ???
How do I go into Download and Recovery mode?
About ROOTING the i9300... Is there some website or Windows app and does that or must I flash something like a new kernel or what?
Is there a way to get some sound improvement for better sound and more volume as it was for i9000 with the Voodoo hack?
Is it possible to flash only a new kernel that gives root privileges, sound improvements and some other cool things? I ask this because I really don't know if I'll go for a complete ROM flashbecause I am a little bit tired in complete hackings
As the phone not bought by my self but related to a phone contract I need to be able to revert back to stock rom/kernel if the phone needs to go back to shop for something, so please tell me where to get stock firmwares and if I need some particular Windows app or know some particular procedure on how to flash.
I hope to have answers from you becuase I really need to understand what is having a i9300 not hacked alot coming from a i9000 that was really hack alot.

[Q] 2.3.3

I still have a sgs2 running on 2.3.3 can anyone help me to update it to 4.0.4 or even cm10.1?
Why open another thread? If you want to update, you're definitly not the first one who tries this. Doesn't this make you think there maybe are other people who've asked this or even descriped this in other threads? Search and read, that's the best thing you can do.

[Q] Complete Newbiee looking to break out of touch wiz

Hi All,
First of all apologies if this has been covered in another thread. I've had a long search around and can't seem to find any answers to my question. If i have missed it please point me in the right direction.
I am looking to install cyanogenmod 10.2 onto my S3 i9300 international (currently running the terrible 4.3 updated update).
My first question is how do I know if clockwork mod is installed on my phone? And if it isn't what is the best way of going about setting it up?
Second question is which kernel should i be using to get the best performance/ battery life balance? Also how do i know which kernel I currently have? ( I literally know nothing about this subject)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to learning all the benefits to custom roms and, hopefully grow my knowledge so i can stop pestering you guys.
Cheers all.
Sticky threads will tell you all need to know, follow the guides and advise.
Best rom/kernel threads are not allowed, as is posting questions in the general thread.

How do make Galaxy S3 usable? (2019, Latest ROM, rooting, etc - new user)

Hello, this is my first time posting on here.
I have an old Galaxy S3, USA version, T-mobile, SGH-T999. I was wondering how to update it to make it usable? From what I've read online the best way is to root and put in a custom ROM. The problem I'm having is finding the latest ROMs. Is there any way to find the latest official ROMs for the phone? And if I download an unofficial one, how can I know which will run well on my phone? Do I just simply get the latest unofficial ROM?
Lastly, if any one has any step by step guide or video on how to root and install ROMs it would be much appreciated as I've never done something like this before. Sorry if this has been posted before, I'm new to this site and have been having trouble navigating and searching old posts.
Thank you.

I suspect the reason that you haven't gotten any responses in the last day or so is that you are on the wrong part of the Forum! This is the area for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7" Tablet, not the Galaxy S3 Smartphone.
You might want to take a look over here for the T-Mobile S3.
Hope that helps clear things up
