[Q] State of Bootloader/Rom - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I just got done buying an HTC One X to find out that it is locked and theres no exploit to unlock 2.20 which in short makes me sad.
If I were to purchase a Galaxy S3 today would I have trouble with rom/modding?

No, easy like Sunday mornin'

Exactly, this isn't ICS speculation so why would this be closed? Thanks for news, I guess I will be buying one whenever it comes out as long as it's as thin as the att version

I'm almost certain its the note since the Galaxy S3 hasn't even been announced and much less would it have the T-Mobile apps installed already. It also has a stylus pen so that really gives it away,haha now that I think it about it in one of the pics it even says galaxy note. Ha

How is the S III development on AT&T ?

I placed a order for the S III since Verizon can't get my area straight for the nexus. So I was hoping to see how the development was going for the att brand ?

Just bought this phone, should I root?

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?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
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.

Nexus on the way !

Just won mine off ebay very excited!
Going to root it ASAP , now I have seen a lot of methods what seems to be the simplest and easiest to set up for Rom flashing from custom to stock, I want to try a lot of different things here

You win an item on eBay by... winning an auction or buying it at a fixed price....

easiest way is to not use a toolkit.
install nexus drivers
adb environment -> bootloader -> fastboot oem unlock
What's the toolkit name ?

Who could tell.... No matter how long it's on the charger for, it still won't work longer then 5 minutes...
HTC = Have To Charge
It looks like the S4 will be using an exynos CPU so that means no support on xda. Qualcomm would have been a better choice for S4.

Sorry can you fill me in why? Does the international S3 get no support b/c of this?
