Here is the easy way to update to MA6 if rooted.

Go to http://goo.im/devs/f..._LJ7_to_MA6.zip and download the file.

Put the zip on your EXTERNAL SD CARD!

Make sure you have the latest CWM on your phone. If you DO NOT know what i'm talking about than DO NOT attempt this up date with this process. Lastest CWM is v6.0.1.2.

1.Flash the SPH-L710_LJ7_to_MA6.zip in CWM.

2.Go to Wipe cache directory.

3.Go to Advanced and wipe the dalvik cache.

After the process has finished scroll to Reboot Phone.

CWM is going to ask you two questions.

1.CWM will say that stock recovery has been chosen, do you want to ignore that change, keeping CWM. Select YES

2.CWM will then say that root might be removed, do you want to fix this? Select YES

After the phone reboots it will show updating andriod. Let it finish its thing and you know should have MA6 and still be rooted.

If for any reason you do not understand these directions or do not have any idea what CWM is or how to install it DO NOT ATTEMPT this. I am not responsable if you brick your phone.

Robert or a MOD please feel free to remove this if you think it should not be here.

Just trying to give some help.

This is what you should have after you done with the update.

I got the update this morning... and yes, damnit, it seems to have removed or relocated the prl write ability.

 

Digiblur, any idea if this feature is hidden elsewhere now or if a code on the dialer maybe exists to force it? I am mildly familiar with the non samsung method but not nearly as fond

I will have an update soon like I have done for the Note2 that removes the code prompt 100% when pressing ##DEBUG#. Thinking of changing mine to #9# to make it easy ;)

FInally got the ota update this morning. Been checking every day.

 

Edit: Had a second update after the first one finished. Screen said this one was 3.0 MB. Not sure on the first one.

Is there any way to make the update message go away? I received the update, but don't want to lose the prl writing ability. It's annoying to get the update message so many times during the day.

Obnoxious, ain't it? It was driving me bonkers too until I activated my new Optimus G this evening.

I'm pretty sure if I root the phone it'll be no big deal - I'm just too lazy. Let me know your impressions of the Optimus G after a few days.

If anyone wants me to do a ROM for the S3 like I did for the Note2 please chime in. I might be able to do it in the blind without the device but if anyone has one I could borrow for a couple of weeks it would help out quite a bit. Or maybe even purchase if the price was right. We could call it the S4GRU S3 ROM ;)

    • https://www.lightreading.com/6g/5g-advanced-arrives-with-3gpp-s-release-18 Wonder how long until T-Mobile moves on this? My guess is some by the Galaxy S25 in January or February.
    • 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.
