All I had to do after unsuccessfully trying other options on my Win Xp desktop, was download the Cast extension from the Google Store (from chrome browser click Tools>Extensions>Get More Extensions>search for "Cast" and install it, then click the Google Cast icon to activate the extension and...

So, you already have 4.4 update and on Verizon too? Well, maybe Verizon should distance themselves from Samsung if their lousy/slow updates are manufacturer related only. Still, their repeated denial and the way their customer service handles the 4.3 update issues are just plain negligent, in my...

It seems this process does not work unless I recompile Heimdall for Win Xp or something or other, that I do not understand at all. So, I guess flashing back to a previous version of JB or even ICS for that matter on my SCH-I535 S3 is not possible? Even after successfully flashing 4.3 back on...

before 4.3 and all this aggravation, i would have been thinking of upgrading to a newer phone. but i'm sick of giving Verizon/Samsung good money for bad service/products/updates. unfortunately, and yes i am being pessimistic and rightly so at this point, any phone these days is just another...

that makes sense, but we'll stilll haved the Verizon/Samsung "removal of freewill" to deal with. a basic phone, saving money every month and being far less aggravated is still sounding pretty appealing. how did we all get by before smartphones? pretty damn well, i think. have they enriched our...

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues! why would you want to update when 4.3 is such a pain in the ***/straightjacket? i'm thinking about rolling back to 4.1 by following the link here and rooting my piece of crap S3. won't support for these phones end soon anyway? i'd rather be...

you mean, eligible for upgrade from Verizon? yes, why?

Well, the download from Terafile successfully downloaded in an hour and a half and successfully flashed to my phone using Odin 3.07, so I'm back to stock 4.3 Jelly Bean. Not sure if I'll try going back to 4.1 or not, certainly not today. This had been extremefully aggravating. Thanks Samsung...

Yes, I'm signed in on my PC as administrator and I tried downloading from the link at RapidGator last night (estimated time: 6 hours). This morning, my download had the error "Unkown Network Error" and the file was half there. I'm about to chuck this Samsung product out the window and go back...

Galaxy S3 SCH-I535V Verizon model. After 4.3 update in December, as many know, the phone sucked. Apparently, this phone is now locked and won't let me downgrade to previous Jelly Bean version. I keep getting error in Odin trying to flash former version of JB. But...I can't get a good download...
