A sprint, international, Verizon and so on.
Do the ROMs not work on all of them?
I'm on sprint so What group of forum should I be following for new roms? I've been on the sprint ones but not much going on.

Just to avoid confusion. A lot of the Android files can be flashed between GS3 phones, but not all. I advise all caution when trying out mods for different carrier GS3s.

Stick with the Sprint forum to avoid issues.

Sprint forums for everything but accessories. For accessories go and subscribe to the accessories sub-forum in the international one.
Roms and kernels among other things differ from carrier to carrier and can brick your device.

I would suggest you start reading the stickies and searching the e4gt forum for that. Fairly certain I have seen at least 1 or 2 threads started about alltell. Check it out!

What is the model number in about phone?
Sent from my sph-d710 using xda premium
Yeah, should probably give the model number just to be on the safe side. You don't want to go flashing something meant for another phone...

Model Number and Info
I have the same phone through alltel as well so his info would be the same as mine.
Model is SCH-R760
Running 2.3.6
Build is GINGERBREAD.XARFF24
I don't think you're going to be able to use any of our ROMs. You're hung to have to wait until something is built from source for your device.

Unfortunately this forum / ROM's are for Model #SPH-D710. Sorry!
I'm new to the gs3 just moved on from the HTC sensation. I have a question. Can we use the same roms from the international gs3 on this one? Sorry if this has been asked just couldn't find it

Only flash ROMs made for the specific carrier. If you flash an international ROM onto a T-Mobile galaxy s3, your phone will be hard bricked and the only way to unbrick it is to get it JTAG'd, which can cost around 60$.

U can't flash any of the international version roms, but the stateside variants are flashable..
sent from GS3 disguised as a GNote2
most ATT roms should be directly compatible with little effort for our tmo GS3. However, do not flash an ATT modems, that will brick your phone for sure.
I also recommend you use TWRP, seems to be less issues with it. good luck and welcome
I suggest you stick to flashing only what you find in this forum. At least until you have had time to get used to your new device. You will run into quite a few conflicting reports on what does or doesn't work well with this phone. Give it time and you will figure out for yourself which are right and which are wrong.
We have plenty of roms and a number of ports from the other carriers so it really shouldn't be necessary to go flashing anything from somewhere else.
Use the other forums for reference, ideas, and learning more about your phone. If you find a mod or app you want to try, just ask if your not confident about it.
Good luck and welcome!
Oh, just fyi, the reports about the i9300 and i9305, are correct! Do NOT flash any roms or mods built for those! Guaranteed Brick!!

I came over from a Rooted Sensation, Think i recognize your SC from the sensation forums. It is night and day difference. You will be very happy. Also Jelly Bean update just came out today so thats a damn good was to start out!
Hey guys. I have an altell galaxy s2 and i have absolutely no idea why this thing is still running 2.3.6. As far as i can tell, its most similar to the epic touch 4G. Im just wondering if any of you guys know how to go about rooting this phone and what Roms need to be flashed to it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Google searches have really done nothing but confused me. Most of them lead to post where people complain about the phone not being updated.

Well thanks for pointing that out. Though I never herd of a altell variant of the galaxy s II
Edit: Did some research for that model number and its not a known model number for major carriers of the GSII, though it had in parentheses "(U.S Cellular)"
Laughing at you while eating jellybeans
....
Yes. It's the USC variant. I'm assuming Alltel is using the same one.
AFAIK that variant isn't quite the same as our E4GT. I know there was some ROMs by a former XDA member who's name shall not be named or you get an instant permaban from XDA... not really but it adds a cool drama effect right?
Check out the archived development over at Android Central.

I've found a thread with instructions on getting cm9 on this phone. I still can't believe the spell version is so unsupported. Its a galaxy s2, I figured there would be plenty of ROMs.

I know this dosent have anything to do with the Virgin Mobile but in some ways it may.
It has been posted in android forums about being able to flash CM10.1 to the virgin mobile Galaxy S3 SPH-L10
suppose to have the same hardware as the sprint version can anyone confirm this Plesae I would love all the features to work. there is a stock
odin modem and also a stock flashable kernel too in the android forums in the section all things root virgin mobile Galaxy s3.
It would be awesome Devs would give this phone some love Thank You devs and guys. ps some one there also stated the had sucess with
the sprint cm10 rom:laugh:
This should be in the q&a section I believe. But if the Virgin mobile version of the s3 is exactly the same as ours, you should be able to flash any rom as long as you have your APNs correct

There are plenty of ROMs with multi window. However, your friend will only be connected to lte if he has the t999L which can connect to lte, if he has the t999 he cannot get lte. Also, if he's not in an area with lte he won't be able to connect to it

Yes he does have the 999l version. Could you be so kind as to push me towards a nice multiwindow rom please.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Any touchwiz rom you see should have multi window. Almost all are up to date as far as I know. Just look for UVDMD5 or just MD5.

That's terrific thank you. Does deviant development do anything with the s3?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Oh and they are all T999 roms but will work on the T999L. If wifi doesnt work let me know and ill tell you what to do.
Just stay away from the firmware and modems in case you dont know.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
That's excellent thank you! Wait. .. stay away from firmware, isn't that what I'll be changing?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
When we refer to firmware its generally the Odin flashable stuff. Official from Samsung.
But theres also a recovery flashable In the development section that has all those underlying parts of the firmware. (Bootloader, modem, rpm, tz. Each on its own partition)
If you stick to just roms and kernels you ought to be just fine.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Ok, now I understand. I do have Odin experience. I agree with you. Because I'm not familiar and have zero experience withthat device. What does work in my favor though is that most of these Samsung device are treated and dealt with in the exact same fashion.
