Can someone kindly explain WHY GT-I9300 will not get official KitKat ?
I just went to SamMobile and saw that I9305 got 4.4.4 firmware ! See here
They said I9300 doesn't have enough RAM, what about Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and Tab 3 10.1 Wi-Fi which received the update ?
If the CPU isn't enough, How came that I9305 and N7100 with the same CPU got updated ?
If the screen size isn't enough, WHY did I9305 with same screen size get update ?

I saw that Samsung don't want to update i9300 to 4.4 because of its 1 GB of RAM that can't handle ****ty touchwiz.Also they said that they will not update any device that is 18(or something like this) months old, Samsung is a shame, we have great developers here, like @arter97 @JustArchi, @qaraqumus that made what Samsung didn't:bring S3 a bit from KitKat flavor

Devices with only 1GB won't get KitKat ? Wth ?
Tab 3 7.0 and Tab 3 10.1 are running KitKat !
Devices with 18 Months old won't be updated, seriously ?
I think it's time to get a Nexus Device and leave that shameful Samsung with its odd rules :silly:

Hdc galaxy i9300 pro
I followed the directions from A YOUTUBE VIDEO titled - How to root the HDC Galaxy S3 i-9300 8.6mm Pro!
I now have supersu and there is also an option to upgrade to supersu pro which apparently is more advanced than the superuser rooting option.
I also have the clockwood mod application installed along with Rom Manager
There is an option to manually install the clockwood mod 2.x or 3.x+,
I have used 'fix permissions' which has made a hell of a difference to the perfomance of my phone.
hey guys i saw the new updated samsung list :
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317
Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-t217a
Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active SGH-i537
Samsung Galaxy Mega SGH-i527
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom SM-c105a
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900a
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 SGH-i467
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini SM-g730a
so the 5.8 version wont get the update ?
i wanna buy it but i'm afraid that samsung may stop support that phone
let’s see how to update Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9150 to Android 4.4 KitKat :
1. Install the ROM Manager on your Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9150. Get it from Google Play Store, then install the clockwork mod recovery.
2. Connect your Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9150 to your PC employing the USB information cable. Copy the “Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9150_4.4 KitKat.zip” file you downloaded to the SD memory card.
3. Restart your device in the recovery mode using ROM Manager. As soon as in Recovery Mode, go to ROM Manager and select backup / restore to back-up your information.
4. From the Recovery Menu do a total data erase (including Delvik Cache). When completed, go back to Recovery Principal Menu and choose Flash ROM from SD Card. Navigate the location you copied the ”Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9150_4.4 KitKat.zip” file and follow the directions for installing Android 4.4 KitKat on your Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9150. As soon as the installation is over, just reboot your Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9150 device, and here you go, you’ve just upgraded it to the new Android 4.4 KitKat.
Note: Here Is Link To Download the ROM =
The ROM File size is 128 MB, so I split the file into 3 parts :
ROM Part 1 : http://downloadsafe.org/file/0tX959
ROM Part 2 : http://downloadsafe.org/file/0tX962
ROM Part 3 : http://downloadsafe.org/file/0tX965
To combine 3 parts files above into 1 file just use WINRAR, then extract the files into ZIP format.
If any problem with the ROM, maybe because the ROM have corrupted during the download process, you can try to re-download the ROM.
I hope it will help you.:good:

Not able to download...
I was not able to download any file even though I actually tried to complete the offers.
Isn't there any other way to get this rom?
Samsung Mega 5.8
My dear friend, dont evern think of buying a Samsung device unless you can afford Note 4! Their service and updates are horrible! Why dont you just buy a Xiaomi and be happy?Its 4 times better than mage! BTW I do have a Mega, samsung has been saying from October 13 that the update is coming!
Mega 5.8 = Core Plus ?
Hi,
it seems that the sames ROM can work for another phone, quite a surprise for me...
Here (kitkatjellybeanfranceb.blogspot.fr/2013/11/tutoriel-installer-44-kitkat-sur-le_2166.html) is an explanation to get KK on Samsung Galaxy Core Plus = SM-G350 .
They use the same 3 files than you (also under ...safe.org)
What do you think about these 2 phones ?

That site and many other sites like this are scam. Just leave them alone, all they want you to do is complete the offers one after another and earn them money. There's no file offered for download at all.
5.8 users who want KitKat should look to CM11 (and maybe CM12), though whether that works on the single-SIM i9150 is a big question.

First, The Device has its own section.
Second, Seeing the device and reading its specifications on websites I read that Samsung released it with 4.1.2 and has not released an update for higher android version so far.
Hi guys, please I need some answers for my questions.
I have a Samsung galaxy tab 3 SM-T210 8GB WIFI only, with 1,2 dual core CPU and 1GB of RAM, and I live in Morocco.
So my questions are, will my tablet also get a Kitkat update from Samsung anytime soon? Because I saw that the Sprint version already got it, and so did the 8 inch version.. If not Kitkat, will it at least get an update to 4.2.2 Jelly Bean? Cause it kinda sucks if they keep this device stuck with 4.1.2 :/ It's a lovely device and I love it but I'll love it even more with Kitkat or at least 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.. And finally, if they don't release an update for it, would you suggest that I root my tab and port a Stock-Official Kitkat (4.4.2) into it? It would generous of you could provide the cons and pros of this procedure ^^
If you have any kind of information about this matter it would be so much appreciated, thanks mates
No answers? :/
Come on guys

Hi ! Ok first you have to update your phone to 4.3 android that is tge last official built from sammy or you will face efs problem (no network) then root and install cwm (U suggest you philz 's one ) and download and install back to noot rom
Warning : there is no official 4.4 for s3 but arter port touchwiz 4.4.4 for our device with back to noot, that is a heavily debloated rom (lot of sammy app have been deleted for stabilty)
And now there's no 5.0 for s3 let's hope note 2 get it so dev can port it
Cheers !

@yogeshbatra: upgrading firmware to 4.3 as @HawKeyes_XDA said.
Then I recommend a Samsung-based 4.3-ROM, if you like Touchwiz-features or run RAM-intensive games, or otherwise AOKP-5.0. Imho 4.4-ports don't offer obvious advantage (but bugs) and waiting on 5.0-ports is pretty dreaming, because even slim AOKP-ROMs are struggling with 1GB RAM.
