[Q] Root Sprint S3-4.3?!?!?!?!? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Happy Holidays to all first of all!!
Second of all, i unrooted my phone months ago when Sprint started rolling out the 4.3 update so that i may receive it. I admit i am out of the loop a lil bit because it seems as though a lot has changed. All i would like to know is can i still use one of qbkings older methods to root or is there a better way so that i may perhaps keep my modem? I am ready to get back in the game because honestly, my phone is boring as hell!! Hahah....thanks in advance for your time, effort, patience, and answer!!
Again, Happy Holidays and Happy Rooting!!

This is I9300 forum not your phone see sticky top of the page .

goodbye sidekick 3, hello MDA!

hey everyone.. just signed up and wanted to say hi.
i just ordered my new MDA, and should be here in a few days! ive had the SK3 for a month after upgrading from the SK2, and its just not what it used to be. Im looking for something with way more functionality other than being cool. Not to mention a more mature phone.
anyway, i just wanted to see if you guys could help me. seeing as how i dont have the phone yet, i wanted to read as much as i can about hacking it up. im aware that the stock phone (USA Tmobile MDA) rom isnt very well, so i need some pointers on where to start...
ive tried searching already, but theres only so many "newbie" threads i can sift through... basically can someone point me into the right direction of everything i need to get started? it would be most appreciated! i guess which rom, how to update, which apps, where to go... lol, basically everything!
ill obvisouly be reading until the day the phone comes (and charged for 12 hours) so i should be more knowledgeable by the time the phone arrives.. but i really appreiciate any help!
thanks!
Maybe you just should to post which MDA you have orderd. Since the good old MDA I / Wallaby isn´t sold anymore, that´s the wrong part of the forum here....
You should take a look at the right part of the forum.

LOL..
im such an idiot. thats what i get for posting at 2am... sorry! i found out it was the HTC Wizard!

[Q] OTA Update/GPS in Europe?

I`ve just found out that Samsung would "send" us the update that most of us were waiting for a long a time. However, I have no idea if I would be able to get it or not.
Why? I went to NY a couple of months ago and I bought the phone over there... I came back to Europe and I am using the phone without problems except for this issue with the GPS.
I am still able to receive this update even after unlock the phone to use it overseas? If not, what can I do? I have never rooted my phone or any other of those things, to be honest I dunno much about phones.
What are the benefits of rooting? What are the ROMS for? (just trying to catch up a bit without creating 2 threads ).
Cheers!
Moved to Q&A and edited forst post and title.
I guess you have a valid question cocnerning the GPS and Update....but if you want to know about Rooting and ROMS start reading...all the info you require can be found with out starting a new thread.
Thanks!
Somebody? Please!
No one? Please help me out
Ive been to T-Mobile here in Germany and they have no idea about this! It would be so nice if I could get this info somewhere

A huge thanks to the Eris devs

I wanted to thank you guys, and everyone else that hangs around the Eris section for all the help. If it weren't for all the work that went into this phone I'm fairly certain I would have thrown mine out a window a long time ago. Though I moved up to the GNexus, I'll still be hanging around here for a while to see whats going on and maybe help test a few things.
hello,
Im a new geek from Indonesia
this is my first post, and Eris is my first android too..
hope will learn something here.

Is there a need for a noob guide?

If so, reply here, tell me what you all think is needed or wanted, and I'll see what I can do. I know I'm feeling full of stupid questions, and the best way I learn is to find the answers for others.
There are several in development.

i really would appreciate a some sort of guide and some basic info. Since HTC allows unlock the boot, i am not sure about hwo that plays with the warranty and if there's any recovery. I would really appreciate if someone can have a good guide explaining some basic stuff like the process of getting the phoen to run custome rom (yes I know there are few but it would just be nice to have 1 with a bit detail and also mentioning a few of things we should watchout like warranty, etc).
also I really would appreciate a baisc maybe dumb step by step process with maybe a quick guideline for a newbie like me to follow where it's almost 100% fail proof to kind of test so one can get used to the whole idea of flashing custom rom
Con beat me again but there are plenty of stickies or threads people can read... the reason that there are so many questions is because people are either too lazy to read or dont look at the guides... so i think even if u made one people would still not read it
I'd love a noob guide! I have looked at some of the foolproof tools and they seem decent enough for me to get started with...
I'm a lifelong developer, but I am new to android, so it's just a matter of time before I dive in.. and once I'm in, i'll be thrashing around and hope to help out the dev's we got.
That being said... I'm literally one rainy weekend away from unlocking and getting started on all this (but that weekend is hard to find here in SoCal.. )

If you are a developer I don't know why your not diving in ... It's soo easy to do all the unlocking and stuff... I bet it takes less than an hour and that's just bc u have to wait on things to flash .... But what do I know I'm just an average Joe.
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
hahaha, tomorrow (wed) is suppose to rain, maybe it's a good day to get your hand wet
that would be great....i'm coming from a DX and OG Droid where i rommed and modded away. but the rezound has e scared to unlock/root. i ahven't touched anything yet and i really want to. i liked that i had the option to sbf back to stock if worse came to worse. i can flash anything i wanted to but could always go back to completely unrooted stock if need be.

Worth keeping with non Sammy phone?

Just looking for general opinions. I had a Galaxy S5 when originally getting the Gear S. At my last phone upgrade, I opted for the HTC One M9 which I am *loving* so far. I'd really like to use the 2 together, but my head goes absolutely spinning when trying to muddle thru the 50+ page thread with a couple of different instruction sets. Scared to death I'll brick the thing following something that ends up being wrong or outdated with newer FW revs.
Am I making it out to be worse than actual? Is there a set of simplified step by step to get it done? I have never owned an HTC before and had it successfully backed up and rooted day 1 with the kind folks here at XDA. Hoping for the same here. Thx in advance!
