Who didn’t steal? The bottom line is he still did things that made his name what it is today and it wasn’t just because he stole stuff.

So true.

Anyone who feels they have the right to demand not to be offended should avoid the internet (and any social gathering, really) at all costs. This will ensure they do not become too offended while also having the bonus of greatly reducing their chances of procreating.

Glad to hear it worked out. Got the update on my wife’s S3 yesterday for her.

Am.

So.

Jealous.

Really wish they hadn’t included that nasty home-key though…

Yes it does. We see his character a.k.a “reality distortion field” everywhere in the Tech Industry.

That’s not an Android logo, it is a Droid-Life logo. How do you know he would not like this site? We have plenty of Apple fanboys here, too.

Based on some info from a guy who posted on XDA saying worst I could do is soft brick, I went ahead and installed it. While the screen said update failed to install, it did in fact install (I have JB now!).

The battery does appear to run down faster (probably from doing the update process a few times before committing) and I did read the update makes the screen brighter, which drains the battery more. But other than that, no problems.

That doesn’t apply to the Tech industry.

The update won’t install due to you having CWM you’d have to re-install the stock files and then update to JB

I hope there is someone that can help me. While I enjoy reading about people who root and mod,etc, I’ve never done it because I know I don’t have the skills. Today, I went to download the JB update for the VZW GS3 I bought used. I had used a root checker just after I bought it, which said it was unrooted. Just after I got the phone I had noticed some empty Clockwork files in Polaris File Explorer, which I deleted.

Back to today. The update downloaded, started to run, opened ClockworkMod Recovery (much to my surprise), and came to a screen that says “Install Untrusted Package, THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.”

There are a bunch of No options (I chose one earlier and phone booted up ICS all normal), a Yes – Install untrusted zip, more No options, +++Go Back++++. There is text below that says

ClockworkMod Recovery v.6.0.1.2
E: Invalid command argument
Finding update package….
Opening update package….
Verifying update package…
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed.

What will happen if I select Yes? Will I brick my phone? I really want JB, but I am scared shitless that I will brick my phone and all the stuff I have on the SD card.
