That green one makes me want to stick pins in my eyes.

At least these new colour choices is making the blue and white GS 3 look a million times better when compared

BCFCMike · 19 Jul 2012 at 20:03

In person, these new colours will look a lot more darker than the pictures make them out to be..

What's next? An orange or/and yellow one..............

I bet there's a pikachu special edition on the way! Followed the traditional Samsung pink tabloid version, with extra cute sparkly gloss for Katie Price, Jodie Marsh and Robbo.

I'm sure it would look very classy with that black UI.

(scratch that! half the forum would go off and buy a pink one once he posts some pics :eek:

)

You jelly of my pink phone. It's awesome.

AbsenceJam · 19 Jul 2012 at 22:10

Is there a port of the stock camera for CM? Aside from the **** sound on video recording it's a great app.

are the colours likely to be true and if so time scale before out? i'm going to pick up sgs3 in blue next couple days from tmobile store but want it in green and would happily wait another month if it'll be out soon

I'd say any new colours within a month or two are extremely unlikely, especially green.

I was thinking that with Samsung sponsoring the Olympics that they might bring out colours to compliment the 5 rings

I'm still not sure about my blue s3

Only the one company should sell green coloured phones. Be easier this way to target them and eliminate

Seems my Wall USB charger has died. Phone will not charge from it. Tried 3 different cables. Charges fine from the PC.

Back to Le Shop again!

Hey guys,

I'll be receiving my Samsung Galaxy S3 tomorrow through the post.

The phone will be orange branded... I'm on O2. What software will I need to download in order to make it look like a unbranded SGS3? Maybe somebody could point me in the right direction to the latest unbranded firmware if that's all I'd need to do?

I've also seen a sim unlocking app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.simunlock)

It says I'd need "root" for this to work? I'm not sure what that is.

Sorry for the noob question. I've never used an Android device before! My previous device was a BB 9900.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, you'll want to do the following:

Get Odin and the latest firmware (I9300XXBLFB) from the below link, and then follow the instructions on that page. It's fairly straight forward.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

After that, for root access, you'll want to go this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238

Then follow the instructions in the second post. Again, you're effectively doing the same thing as you did for the firmware, just with another file.

Any questions, ask away.
