Your way to Update...

[FreddyFredFred]

Thanks for the replies. Just everything I had read and all videos about GN, all have said "simply swipe up from any screen to access it" or something close to that. I added it to my lockscreen icons. I had previously replaced it with s-search or whatever it was called.
I am happy enough now with the hold menu button and icon on my lockscreen.
I guess that photo sphere gimmick doesn't come until 4.2? I couldn't wait to try that and now I don't even have it :{

Long hold on the menu key to open Google Now is working. Only downside is that my Swiftkey 3 keyboard opens automatically and covers the Google Now cards.

No. Do not rename the file.

Just wanted to say thanks for these files. I used it to upgrade my phone last month and despite my patents buying their phones together just 2 days ago, my moms phone got the JB update while my dads hadn't yet. He's thrilled I updated it for him.

Do these options, specifically in Posts 3 & 4, also update the Kernel? Currently I have KT747 and am interested in getting rid of it with the return to stock.

If a separate install of the Kernel is required, what is the latest/recommended and what is the best process (flash before return to Stock, or after. cache wipes & fix permissions, etc).

I currently have Goodness 5.0.1, LJ7, and KT747. I love the ROM, but the am wanting to return to stock (rooted) and then play with some other ROMs...

Thanks in advance for your help.

Post 3 has 2 files one is pre rooted and the other unrooted. They include the most current kernel and radio and it will all be installed. These are flashed in odin

Post 4 also includes the most current kernel but if you don't have the LJ7 radio already you will have to flash it separately. This method will be flashed in recovery.

It's a Sprint update... You can't load Sprint updates on a Verizon phone....

Never attempt to use something made from one carrier on another carrier of the same model. Sure they are very similar but key components like the radio is different. The most common way to brick a device is flashing/loading the wrong radio onto a device and bingo instant paper weight

Ugh! I may already know the answer to my question, but diligence requires I ask anyway.

I inadvertently followed the incorrect link here, downloaded the radio and firmware files for my GS3, and flashed via CWM.
Unfortunately, I have a T-mobile GS3, and not a Sprint version; which this thread obviously (now) supports.

Long story short, my phone will not boot.
Vol down + Home + Power does nothing.

Am I just out of a phone?
Or is there anything that can be done?

Thank you, in advance.

You can recover your phone using the jtag device if you have access to the correct files. I've never done it and don't the procedures but I can put you in touch with someone who does.

Check you pm's.

varisnjay, this thread is about updating a SPRINT GS3 from Android 4.0x (ICS) to 4.1 (Jellybean). You'll get a lot more help if you post this information in the right thread.
