I want to return the phone to get a new one, but obviously I'm unable to due to rooting and installing a custom ROM, is there a way to get the original rogers ROM back so it will be unnoticeable that I've changed the ROM? If not what other options do I have?
Thanks in advanced , any advice is appreiciated.

You can find the stock firmware here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-I747M&pcode=RWC&os=1&type=1#firmware
Also you might want Google around for "resetting the flash counter". If the flash counter is incremented it voids the warranty.

Thanks for the response. Do I install the stock ROM the same way as I did the custom one?

use odin to install stock rom...

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with phones. Can anyone post a link or step by step how to use Odin to flash it back to the original ROM? The only time I used Odin was to root my phone. Thanks in advance

Another thing you could do is if you had insurance just smash the phone like I did give them the 100 bucks and get a brand new phone! Rogers is so easy to manipulate

Q: Change firmware from AT&T to Asia

I have Galaxy S3 from US but now, I am living in Asia (Cambodia). Can we change firmware to Asia?
Here is my phone's detail:

Please help

There is no Asian firmware for American models. The only ones are for the international version which are incompatible with our phone.

Is it possible if I flash CM10?
I am afraid that after I flash CM10, my phone will have no SIM service or brick.

CM10 will change your phone to an aosp style rom. I'm not sure of Asian support. Your phone will still be an i-747 and since it's an American phone you will have a hard time finding Asian support for it. And for a brick you just have to know what your doing.

CM10 won't give you an Asian firmware(not totally sure what you mean), if you want another language just change it in settings no flash required. Flashing cm10 might give more regional support then say the AT&T stock rom though. CM10 will not break your sim unlock, your thinking iphone. Android phone roms aren't tied to the baseband so you wont have any issues.

As long as your phone is unlocked, you'll be fine with flashing roms. I used aokp rom on my i747 in korea and it worked fine.
It seems like your apn isn't set yet. Google for the appropriate apn settings for that carrier.

Thank you for your idea. rightnow, my phone is rooted and already installed CWM.
and now, I dont know where should I start. should I flash CM10 first or modem first (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898)?

CM10 is little rough around the edges. Try CM9 - it is good and very stable. Or try my ROM - it's enriched CM9.
I'd first unlock the phone - get in touch with AT&T to help you with that, it will be free since you are in another country.

I live in India using the at&t gs3 running cm10...

IMEI is 0 -- ODIN restore?

Sadly, it seems my IMEI has been set to zero.
I can still make calls and text, but my data is on Edge network only.
I've been doing some searching and reading (by some I mean a lot) and I guess I'm getting a little confused in it all.
Would using ODIN to reset my phone to stock fix the IMEI?
I have the IMEI on a sticker on the phone, could TMobile reset the IMEI for me?
Thanks in advance.

Swap it if you have insurance. If not search xda for fix.

Yes Odin will fix the Issue. Please choose correct firmware to flash via Odin.

Thanks for the response.
Trying to confirm I get the RIGHT rom for my device.
Went to sammobile.com/firmwares/
Looking at all the options for SGH-T999, do I have to made basebands to what I have now (T999UVDLJA) which is dated Oct 2012, or is that something that gets "updated" if I apply the latest rom (March 2014)?

Depends on what you had before all these problems. You must choose that same version otherwise you may hard brick the phone.

*sigh*
And I suppose there's no way to know that? I don't have a back up or anything...
Is there anyway to determine?
Thanks for your help and direction thus far!

Oh Sure. There are other ways to determine. If possible post a photo of the download screen. Otherwise type out exactly what you see when the phone is in download mode.

I'm assuming that is the info you were looking for?

Yes that's what I needed. I suggest please use UVDMD5 Version of Root66 to flash via Odin.

Excellent.
So follow directions and get files from here?: http://www.androidayos.com/2013/05/...y-bean-without-binary-flash-counter-increase/

Well. Yes. I'd direct you to the Thread here under Android Development.

Yeap. The link I posted actually takes you back to the link you provided.
Both bookmarked.
I hope to do this tonight.
If I understand this correctly, this should flash my phone back to stock with my valid IMEI
Using this Route66 I will have root on the phone and should then be able to do a CM install if I choose?

Yes and yes.
If that is your desire, then while you are in Odin, flash a custom Recovery such as TWRP or CWM as well.

... I will have to research on how to do that too then.
First concern is getting the IMEI back so that I can actually USE the phone with data -- regardless if it's CM or stock OS.

As the UVDMD5 will have correct modem, hopefully that will restore IMEI. Otherwise we may have to see what happens.

hmmm sort of seems to have worked... stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen though.
Reading other links says I should have cleared cache before doing?

Hmmm cleared cache.
Did factory reset.
Still stuck at pulsating "SAMSUNG" logo...

Ok got into phone... ugh is stock ROM just painful. Who designs these things?!?!
Sadly, IMEI is still set at 0
this doesn't seem to have worked

Using odin will not restore your imei you have to use qpst

ARGGGHHHH Are you serious? Googling now, but this looks much more complicated compares to Odin
Can't TMobile just restore the IMEI if I take it to one of their stores?

Welcome to Sony. Reboot your comp and if it still doesn't show up then god knows.

Have you got latest version of flashtool installed?
Not near my pc, but am sure theres the option to browse for the ftf file in flashtool? Just make sure source folder is pointed to the firmware folder your ftf is in and flash.

Can't find ANY wifi networks anymore?

Its been about 2 weeks now and I am still having this problem. One day while I was a school I felt my phone really hot in my pocket. and it was off. When I truened it back on the battery was only 20% and then I could not find any wifi networks. It used to work for about 30 seconds when I restarted the phone, but now it does not even do that. Any help?! This is pretty bad.

I am rooted, but I don't think that I can flash a custom rom because my phone is flashed to cricket and they said don't do system updates/factory resets.

A modem is what controls your phones communication with the internet and voice and data... Pretty important. Go to Settings/About Phone and flash the one that matches the last four characters in your Baseband (like GB27 for example)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764210

Flashing a custom ROM or doing a factory reset won't mess with your cricket flash, although you will have to follow directions in this thread to get back working MMS and 3g (if you flash an AOSP or CM-based ROM... 3g should work out of the box on stock-based).

Before you do anything, though, I would read read and READ some more. Not to sound rude, but you don't wanna dig yourself into a bigger hole just because you don't know what you're doing. And I'd be glad to help if you need it [emoji2]
