We of SamMobile just got hold of an Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean TEST OTA update for the U.S. T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III (SGH-T999).
This is the very first Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean TEST OTA Update for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III (SGH – T999). We wanted to give Samsung’s Die-Hard fans a taste of Jelly Bean before it officially releases. This update will also help 3rd party Android Developers, like CyanogenMod Team, to improve their Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean custom ROMs for the T-Mobile Galaxy S III (SGH-T999).
This is a PRE-RELEASE firmware and doesn’t come from Kies!
The Official Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update by Samsung will start rolling out from next week through KIES and OTA (Over-the-air update).
