Help. I have Telus I747m question

I'm a noobe just learning the game of flashing roms. I have my phone rooted and a back up done and some rooted apps like tibu but that's all. I'm looking in this sectionbut most of what I see is for at&t. I read that at&t roms can be used on Telus, bell or Rogers. But then I read the opposite as well. I really don't want to brick my phone. Whats a great rom and kernel that will work for me? Good customization and battery performance. I also have cwm touch installed. Thanks

This is accurate for all third party ROMs; it's not true for the Odin-flashable stock images on account of the different modem firmware between AT&T and Canadian models.
As an example, my Telus device is running CyanogenMod 10.1 just fine...

So if I can install it through cwm its ok as long as I have the right model but if I have to flash it using odin I need to have a Telus rom?

Basically, yes.

Pretty much any d2att rom you find should work. As long as you can get to recovery you will be okay. Have fun, you're on your way to becoming a flashaholic!

Bell Jellybean on Rogers s3

hey everyone,
recently got a s3 that was with Rogers in Canada
i unlocked it and am using a bell sim card
was wondering if i can flash with odin and install bell's jelly bean,
just to get rid of the Rogers software.
thanks

Sure you can!
The ROM's exactly the same for both carriers in each and every aspect. It's only the bloat that differs.

Does bell actually have less bloat than rogers?

the radio would be different as well, better suited for your carrier

the radio is the same for Telus, Bell and Rogers. Look it up before giving out false info

I have a AT&T i747, but I wondered if flashing the i747M ROM would brick my device or if I'd lose any functionality.
I just want to reduce the bloatware and get better battery life.

It will work just fine, they are cross compatible.

^^^Can I just use ODIN if I'm not rooted? Is it mandatory that I wipe cache and do a factory wipe? I've spent so many weeks setting up the device just the way that I like it now. How many carriers are there for the i747M? I just want to make sure that I can easily recover from a soft-brick if necessary.

well go to the development section, visit the stickies there are some Odin stock ROM's. I would wipe, I know it sucks but it's the only way to avoid problems. Once rooted buy titanium backup. I can set my phone back up in about 30 min. Or if you have a custom recovery you can restore just data from a nandroid, I know TWRP will do it. But if you're interested in flashing might as well go all out put a custom recovery on and try out the custom ROM's like mine. Debloated, extra features and good battery life. Just sayin

Oh yeah I forgot about the modem... are we sure there not compatible They are the exact same phone. I have the Rogers version of the I927 and have flash the AT&T modems on it. It was locked to Rogers, I flashed the AT&T odin update to ICS no brick, it even removed the Rogers boot screen. Phone is still recognized as I927r in kies.
To be safe don't flash the Odin version of the Rogers ROM on you I747, The ROM itself is definitely compatible though.

Thanks

This is BS!
When roaming in the US, Bell customers fallback on the AT&T network natively.
Not sure for Telus and Rogers customers though...
And even if, for some reason, our modems don't work in the US, it doesn't mean you can't flash an AT&T modem from the DEV section using Odin (.tar modem file) or a custom recovery (.zip modem file).

Rogers roams on AT&T in the US. I have flashed AT&T based Roms with no issues on my Canadian Rogers SGH-I747M, other than getting some AT&T stuff (like their hotspot manager).

Can the reverse be done without any issues? I'm afraid of bricking the device. I'd want to do the flash via ODIN as it would be easier for me.

Check out these awesome possible combinations :
Bell i747m with Rogers ROM --> OK
Bell i747m with Telus ROM --> OK
Bell i747m with AT&T ROM --> OK
Rogers i747m with Bell ROM --> OK
Rogers i747m with Telus ROM --> OK
Rogers i747m with AT&T ROM --> OK
Telus i747m with AT&T ROM --> OK
Telus i747m with Bell ROM --> OK
Telus i747m with Rogers ROM --> OK
AT&T i747 with Bell ROM --> OK
AT&T i747 with Telus ROM --> OK
AT&T i747 with Rogers ROM --> OK
It's even possible that ROMs from the following providers would work, but I'm not 100% confident :
Koodo
Virgin mobile Canada
Fido
Ain't that cool ?!
P.S.: I take no liability in you bricking your phone in attempting any of the above! lol

Does anyone know which one of these 3 stock ROMs provides the best battery life with the least bloatware.
Would this re-lock my device (I don't have an AT&T SIM card).

nothing can relock your devices SIM, that occurs on a much deeper level

Is there a consensus that states which stock ROM has the least amount of bloatware?

I just get an T999 S3 from TMobile, already SIM unlock, Root.
Already have downloaded CM 10.1.2 d2tmo Stable ROM, also downloaded Gapps 20130812, CMW/Odin Files.
My main question wash if is really necessary have the Bootloader Unlocked? or I can just proceed installing all on the right order...
1) Flash CWM with Odin
2) Copy CM and Gapps files on MicroSD
3) Reboot on CWM
4) Wipe all
5) Install .zip files CM10.1.2 and Gapps
And I believe Im ready...is that OK?
If I want to return to stock ROM..I have to just install via Odin the Stock ROM? Or there is something else.
First time on CM I hope someone en-light me.
Thanks a Lot!!!

There is CyanogenMod made specifically for your device. Always make a backup before you do anything crazy.

Yep, Odin will put the stock rom back on for you. You will lose all your data though, so make a backup.
Also, I think it's rude to hijack someone's thread. Make you own with your own question.

I'm sorry for make an question here (hijack). But I think my question helps a little.
People I know highly recommends CM10 Stable version for S3 TMO over nightly since stable have almost no bugs. I download CM10.1.2 but have questions and doubts about how to install.
I will trie to install this one in next week and post as soon install CM10.1.2
Thanks and Sorry again!!!

If you have the T999/T999L/T999N, you should stick with what was made for that device. Metro was recently bought by tmobile. Previously, the S3 for that network was SPH-R530 or something like that.
most likely the cwm and cm for metro were made for that older model device. When T-Mobile took over, the Metro S3's are now T999N which for our purposes is identical to the T999L. (Read my thread linked in my sig). If you have the older model metro s3, use cm built for it. If yours is T999 variant, use that version instead.

That CM was likely for the old ?Sprint? variant for metro. I wouldn't use it on the new one. d2tmo should work.
And odin won't wipe your data, but you will have to factory reset, which will.

need stock firmware ATT kitkat

hello,
I am searching for the stock firmware for a ATT variant g3, kitkat. it is not avail on the usual S********* source, any ideas?
Thank you

If you are talking about the Odin flashable firmware .tar.md5 files like you can get at http://sammobile.com/firmwares, there isn't one for NE4.

I see you're in Montreal. Did you get the s3 from a Canadian carrier? If you did, the phone would be an i747m, not the ATT version which is the i747.

T0lteatt recovery on t0ltecan

I have a rogers Canadian note 2 and have been out of the game for a while(over a year) and can't remember if it's safe to use the t0lteatt recovery on the Canadian model. I know the roms are interchangeable but not sure on the recovery and mine is very outdated. It's just that I prefer cwm and they don't have a t0ltecan version so I figured I'd check. If not I'll use TWRP but yeah.

Tolteatt & Toltecan should both work for you.
