TouchDown HD has been EOLed by Symantec. Unfortunately, TouchDown is the only app I know that works with the MobileIron MDM on my Google Pixel. So ... (1) Does anybody know where I can get/buy a TouchDown license key, perhaps once unused by the current holder? (2) Does anyone know another...

Thanks much! Out of curiosity, why specifically HK?

It's an SM-T810. SamMobile has a United Kingdom 6.01 file for SM-T810. So it's the same model. I don't know if it's a different region, because I don't know what region my tablet is (or, for that matter, why it's not US).

Thanks. For some reason, my device model is not a US device, per sammobile.com. Weird. Do you know, can I use Odin to flash a 6.01 from, say, United Kingdom? My device is unrooted.

Hmm? WiFi only.

I'm stuck on Android 5.0.2. I check manually for updates in settings, and get none available. Why? This is a Wi-Fi only 9.7 model.

Christmas? What I want? A big screen and no bloat-ware. ... Oh, and lots of booze.

I'm currently rooted and at 4.1.2 with CWM recovery. The sheer number and variety of ROMs, kernels, and modem files for flashing have me paralyzed. Here's my dream: (1) Stable 4.4. (2) All the BS bloat-ware gone. (I don't mind Touchwiz, but I also don't need it.) (3) Works with Nova...

This is all incredibly useful to me, meyerweb. I know, as you said in another reply above, that all of this information is already available out there, but what you're providing is the structure on which I can hang the more amorphous stuff I'm reading. That makes it much, much easier to absorb...

I can definitely understand that it's intimidating, for sure. But actually doing the rooting is incredibly simple. I was shocked. I'm in IT, so I have some advantage in grokking stuff like this once it's explained ... there's not so much different between re-imaging a laptop and a GS3, after...

Correct. Very, very much. Thank you. So to "recover" to a different ROM, such as 4.3, all I have to do (in theory; I did read and understand your cautions about significantly different ROMs), is put it at root of my SD cards, use VolUp+Power+Home to launch recovery, and navigate to and select...

So I just rooted my GS3, and it was very easy, following the instructions in this forum. But -- and I say this as a very bright and relatively technical guy -- I'm not sure I completely understand what happens during rooting. This is important, I feel, because at some point I need to get 4.3...

Thanks so much. I would rather not completely rule out the possibility of future rooting. (I'm not positive I'll get to it before I upgrade my phone, but I don't want to make it more difficult if I do.) Do I have options other than OTA (or rooting) to land 4.3? (BTW, did you intend to...

Is there a how-to thread on fixing this? I remember Odin to be extremely simple, but it was a while back, and I tend to walk through these things (phone-related) without having a deep understanding of them. So to fix it, I'm likely to need step-by-step.

I did actually use Odin to re-enable the shutter-sound toggle quite a while back. So, technically, I'm not complete stock. Could that be the reason? I'm almost certain I've gotten minor updates since then.
