Got Pie on my S3!

[anon(10181084)]

So I saw that pie was slowly coming out for the Tab S3. But it didn't come to the IS and most of mainland Europe (my tablet has the cursed uodate-delaying SEE or South East Europe country code...). I then saw that SamMobile had the UK version. So I went ahead and used SamFirm (XDA's unofficial SamMobile ROM downloader) to download the ROM. Then came the tortureous part where I had to, after getting my bootloader unlocked, find a copy of Odin that didn't error out on me. If you need it for any reason, get it from the link in XDA's "Newbie friendly" tutorial on flashing TWRP. So once it successfully flashed, it (eventually) booted up and Pie now works like a charm. Will now set everything up again since I didn't use the data-retaining "Home CSC" option.

I highly advise not attempting to do this unless you have some decent experience with this kind of stuff.
