Nice hope you get a nice replacement if not a brand new in box one.
heh. hopefully you get one with no lines or blobs since I know for sure those exist now
Hi guys, so I can pretty much do anything, I've been rooting for a long time. So should I root now? If so, which Rom would be best? Thanks in advance

Best way to find out what's the best rom is to try them out people can say one thing about a rom and you can think something else,
Root and rom away, and welcome

This.
Save yourself from any future headaches and head on over to Peoplearmy and GeeK's threads and back up your IMEI with both methods just in case.
I ran with stock rooted for a good week after getting my GS3 just to make sure there weren't any defects (since stock is the most stable).
Pardon my ignorance, I know what imei is, but if things go wrong, how will imei be involved?

Some people where having issues and there imei was lost, there's a tool to back it up in development section just back it up you shouldn't have issues I haven't seen people inquiring about lost imeis lately,

For some odd reason, people have been reporting that their IMEI information on the phone was wiped while flashing ROMs through recovery. That information isn't supposed to be touched, but nobody has really found out the reason why that data gets wiped during the flashing process for some users.
When this happens, the phone loses its ability to connect to your mobile network (because it has no IMEI information to present to the network), so it's essentially an iPod. Last week I randomly lost my IMEI from restoring a nandroid backup from CWM (luckily I backed up my IMEI information and was able to restore it within minutes), but I've heard people saying that it happens on TWRP as well.
I'm not saying that it will happen to you whenever you flash a new ROM, but when it comes to these things it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Also, welcome to the SGS3 forums . Leaving the childish drama behind in the Amaze forum alone was worth the upgrade for me.

Trial and error always the best course with roms. I would root mine was rooted a few hours after I pulled it out the box.
Very easy to do and with our development section well worth it.

If they blocked the IMEI then no AT&T nor T-Mobile user can use it.
And the risk you are going to end up paying for that if you don't return it it probably pretty high. And they aren't going to charge you what you can sell it for on the secondary market.

Ask yourself, is making a few hundred bucks worth being charged with mail fraud? Contact AT&T and return the device, it's the right thing to do.
Might of worked before but nowadays they track and black ball phones by imei. So not worth it when u get busted.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2!
Yeah if I were the OP I would definitely take it into the AT&T store and return it. Sooner or later the paper trail will lead back to the device. Even if the IMEI works and you sell it on Craigslist or something and then AT&T catches there mistake and turns it off. Whoever you sold it to might come looking for you. Or even worse have the cops show up at your door for mail fraud.
That's a felony, theft by mislaid/delivered property and also possibly mail fraud. I would return it since it's NOT YOURS. Just suggesting
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Just hold on to it for a couple of months, if you called att no one would know how to process a return in this situation. If you return it to the store an employee is going to just steal it or something. After a couple of months sell it. Fraud is when you intentually screw over the company, technically you found a lost phone. Lol
Btw this is called equipment gaming through att and per contract you will get your account canceled if they see this done multiple times, they will not take legal action. It's not worth there time nor does anyone care at att.

Great except the phone was delivered insured. USPS pays out. I'm sure they audit losses.

Att does not insure anything they send out, all att would do in this situation is send out a new phone for free because if it was insured the shipping company would make sure it was not lost and make him wait a week before he gets a new phone. Like I said just keep it for 2 months if something were to happen then they will be looking for it in that time.
If you wanted to make sure the phone is not on the blacklist, call att tech support desk and ask them to run the imei number because your thinking about buying a note 2 for a friend. The worst att will do is report the phone stolen but less likely because the phone is technically lost and they only report phones that are stolen.

Correct. Couriers are protected by mail fraud laws. Anyways, I've lost interest in this topic.

Who else is upgrading to the gs5 just because your jump upgrade is now eligible or just because you want the latest and greatest.

Contemplated while it was still in leaks, but then saw the actual product.
I really love the removable battery, and the SD card slot. But come on, that design. I always discourage people from HTC, but this time I just can't go with Samsung. It'd be impossible for me. That or the G3.
I'd need to hear you can root and flash without tripping Knox.
I would hate it if my phone said sea android not enforcing on start up.

I agree, but I don't care about tripping Knox. As long as I can root and flash fine, I'm good. That's why I'll only get it after it gets root.
I would move to HTC but I hate the fact that they are moving away from removable batteries. Big big decisions
