Is there any way to manually update if I don't have an external sd card.

 

stock unrooted gs3

 

 

I don't know of a way. I believe the stock recovery is incapable of using the internal storage and is coded to work with external storage only. At least I cannot get it to see internal storage on my GS3.

I read a post on XDA forums that showed how to get the update manually, and it worked for me! Be warned it took many tries to get it to work, but in the end I was rewarded!

 

"Try this: Go to Settings > Apps (or Applications) and select show All. Then find Google Services Framework and click the Clear Data button. Then click the Force Stop button.

 

Might have to do it a couple times but that should work. Think I did it twice before my phone sent me the notification."

Which update? The LI3 update, or the Jelly Bean update?

I tried this and my phone updated about an hour later. Thanks for the instructions!

RIchmc, did you just go back to stock complete stock?), download the file, put it on the root of your SD card, reboot into Recovery Mode and apply it? I'm getting a signature verification error on my stock SIII.

 

EDIT: Bit the bullet and did a full factory reset, after backing up my apps and photos via ASTRO. It took installing ClockworkMod to get past verification errors (I immediately reflashed the stock recovery after I got the new modem and firmware installed). I guess I didn't need to do the full wipe after all ::rollseyes::

 

Setting up my phone again now...

I did go back to stock but after getting all the updates, rerooted to install the JB leak. I should have clarified I was going back to stock first just to get a clean base to install JB on. I had tried so many roms and wss making sure I got rid of everything.

 

 

Created a new thread to discuss the JB leak. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2173-touchwiz-jelly-bean-leak/

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
