Alright, ladies and gentleman, I have an issue that most of you will know way better then me how to fix because I have not a clue.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 that I would like to use a local SIM card in for international use, however I have run into the issue of it not being able to work and I'm told its because I need to upgrade Android. I'm running 4.0.4 and it is rooted. I guess I need the latest update... However I'm deployed to Afghanistan so using data is out, and the internet is very spotty. So my question would be, what is the best way to go about updating? and would that solve my issue? Also, will I have to unroot to upgrade, and how do I get root back?
You don't have an i9300, so nothing here can help you.

Hello!
I have recently bought HTC Desire HD, branded with T-Mobile logo on startup and bloatware, but otherwise unlocked (no sim-lock, no network lock), and I did a terrible mistake and updated it from 2.1 I think, to 2.2 and then to 2.3, software number 2.37. Now I want to root it and install custom rom and I realize that it will be much more complicated since I now need to create a goldcard and then downgrade. I read all the threads about downgrading and temp-root and goldcards and I'm asking, if anyone can help me out here by just being online on Skype when I'm doing this, because there will be questions and something can always go wrong and I don't want to wait hours or days for somebody to just tell me "your question has already been answered, use the search option". So if anyone who has already rooted a phone, preferably several times, preferably a branded phone and with 2.37 software, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not a newbie in computers, also used to work on web design and I'm currently a photographer residing in Tallinn, Estonia, so nice to meet you fellow XDA member who is willing to help me out. I can donate some money, if everything goes well, that is not a problem at all.
rooted and flashed CM7 nightly, thanks to HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V12.3 and fellow friends here on XDA!
Hi, I just bought a HTC Raider - from Bell Mobility (Canada) and I need to revert it back to the stock firmware, currently on Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2.1
I have no idea where to even start, I have read a bunch of "walkthroughs" on this forum but most of it was lost on me, ie. no idea what rooted is, or kernal is; so thinking it maybe easier just to ask for help.
I have managed to find the stock firmware here hopefully someone will be able to walk me through, or show me which guide to follow (I have read a few guides and none of them seem to have a similar processes)
Thanks in advance
Hi!!, I'm new in XDA developers Forum. I got a Galaxy S3, it was a present from my father and it is carrier locked (Vodafone). I know there is a tool called *Voodoo blah blah blah* that makes unlocking this phone so easy, and I'm using it, but I want to use CyanogenMod 10, and that tool doesn't work with it. I would really want to know if there is any method available for that, as I don't want to deal with all those manufacturer's customizations.
And also, another question, tomorrow Samsung is going to release the jelly beam update. Is the voodoo thing going to work on that?? Will I have to find any kind of trick, such as the *SIM fix* that someone here released to make the voodoo unlocker work with the latests firmwares??
Waiting for your answers geniuses!!!!
PS: I attach the sim fix if anyone wants to know what am I talking about.
Please!! Help me!!

1 yes you can
2 so many do a search
3 no you cant update your phone if it is rooted
3.1 but you can update it by unrooting it temporarily using an app superuser
4 1 rooting will void your warranty
2 do it as clear as per the instructions for rooting else you will soft brick your phone you can unbrick that but take precautions
that's all take a risk friend
