To Canadian owners of the I747 GS3, welcome to your new home! XDA has officially added your devices to this forum! As such, let's all work to make the moderators' and developers' jobs easier by doing the following:
Threads: Would all of you who have started threads in the previous forum that relate to Rogers, Bell, or Telus, please indicate in bold in the thread title that it should be moved here and specify which section you want it moved to.
Update - 07/30/2012: There are still a number of Rogers/Bell/Telus specific threads in the old section without any direction to move them. If you are the OP to any of these threads, please edit the titles to reflect which carrier and section they apply to so that they will be moved to the appropriate new section. Time is running out so please do this asap, as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803287
Development: Being added to this forum does not mean that anything has magically changed from the previous forum relating to compatibility of your device. If, for whatever reason, an AT&T mod was not safe to flash before, it is still not safe to flash! Continue to read the OP, search, and post in the thread, if you are unsure whether something is safe to install on your device. You alone are responsible for the health of your device, so please exercise that responsibility fully.
If there is anything else that you feel should be added to this thread, or you have any questions, please feel free to either send me a PM, or post in the thread below.
This change was definitely the right decision, as most of us are already spending the majority of our time on this thread, given the almost identical nature of our phones. Looking forward to working with our US GS3 colleagues in building the great community this has the potential to be!
Excellent, thank you!
OP updated, please update titles of threads from the old section you want moved asap.
So far I see no problems with AT&T mods and rogers. Some minor issues. But would be nice to have our own section

This is our section. Without our at&t friends, development would be a 10th of what it is now. As we pretty much have the same phone, this is the best structure for all i747 owners.

If you are on rogers, you are using the latest modem as there have not been any updates.

I think the only gripe I have about att roms is being unable to switch from lte to 3g to edge.
More often than not, I find myself surfing on edge.

From what I've been reading, you can do the update over Kies even if your phone doesn't notify you.

That is correct. I updated, no problems, through kies. I then re-rooted using the Samsung Rom toolbox to flash cwm through Odin, and superuser through cwm. Finally, set the trip counter back to zero with the triangle away app (you can get it through Google Play). The whole process was flawless.
Update upgrades us to the latest modem, LH1, way faster lte speeds. Also some other minor ui changes to the stock messaging app and browser.

What! So upgrading will lose root access?
What per se is Samsung Rom toolbox if you don't mind me asking, is that JRummy's Rom Toolbox you're referring to?
Sounds like a bit of a process, I was so proud of myself to finally tackle installing cwm via adb. Now that was all for nothing?! Dang...care to post a few more details and links for those who are still a little shy of turning their phone into a brick? Pretty please.

In case you haven't seen this yet...
You have to be rooted with i-9300, might work for our phones too.
http://www.redmondpie.com/sim-unlock-galaxy-s-iii-in-seconds-by-simply-installing-this-apk/
If it works, Hit Thanks...
It says at the bottom of the instructions "Note: Do not install on variations of the S III other than the I9300 model. It will not work."
I believe there are other apk's out there that should work with our version though.
Well dev said this "Note: Do not install on variations of the S III other than the I9300 model. It will not work."
Have nandroid before you try.
Would any of our devs be willing to somehow tweak this .apk file to make it work with our i747 version?

it won't work because the LTE variants don't have the same files needed. this has been covered countless times in this forum already. search. you will either need to buy a code or get it from AT&T (i've gotten two from AT&T already for both our SGS3s)

I give in. I'm gonna root my device. Been looking for the right steps and don't know what means what. Not stupid, just cheap/chicken. Wanna learn and just don't know where to begin. Guy on YT roots in a few minutes - just doesn't show clear screen shots. You guys talk about this or that mod - I get lost in stocks, cm's, and kernels. What's a noob to do? Are there various 'roots' or just one basic? Any kits to apply? And then what - after it's rooted? What about the counter - why's that a big deal? Too many questions? Not the right ones? Help! Please! Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom.

Just viewed cursed4eva's root video - is it REALLY that easy? I loaded superuser, titanium backup, mobile Odin, ES fe/tm, ROM tbp - and kept em up - when I got this phone. I figured it would be helpful 'just in case' and now I'm down to like 3g outta 12g after only 104 days from activation. I've reached my 'jic' point.
Sooo... Gonna do it tomorrow morning (omg - it's like I'm 6 the NBC...)

I'm in the same boat as you are as I am a new user from Iphone to Android. Totally in love with the my SG3 and looking into rooting my phone..

Is pretty helpful, I've been reading up on all the stickies as much as I could and hopefully I will be brave enough to tackle all this soon. Good luck!
EDIT: I was looking at the cursed4eva suggested by the other member on this thread and I believe the rooting methods on there is for the I9300 not the SGH-747M model. Maybe someone with more experience can confirm this?
Just down load the root tool kit in the stickies. Walks you through step by step and the file you download contains everything you need in order to root

This will probably help. Follow the instructions, I just did and it is very simple.
Download the root kit from stickies like said above. That's what I used. Simple. Actually thought it was easier then rooting my note. Def easier then when I rooted my inspire or LG nitro or all the iPhone jailbreaks

This is a great place for me to ask this question and I hope that maybe other members who have the same set up as me could get the answers they are looking for. Im a disabled U.S Army Veteran and I have memory problems so searching XDA and goggle for me is quite sum task/adventure. Dont ask me how long it took for me to put the pic together or how long it took for me to ask this question cause I might reply, "Yes Id like some gravy with my bowling ball". All joking aside, Id like to achieve a stock root on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for now. Thank you for such a wonderful site and giving me the opportunity to ask my question. Thanks XDA

Im trying TMPOOLE's advice and Im at the select your device model and build and am stuck here. I see Sprint model SPH-L900 but Im not seeing my build. The two options are Builds JRO03C ALJ1 and JRO03C ALJC. The pic Im including in this post is what Iv got. Does this mean I should be patient and wait for another toolkit (non-donated) version to become available? I cant afford the toolkit at this time but should be able to by this weekend. If I get the donated version would it include my build?

Me personally and with my disability, the first set of instructions for the toolkit method agree with my brain. I appreciate both of yous guys advice. Im not knocking the other gentleman's set of advice in now way whatsoever. So I guess Iv got to wait fur the next toolkit update. Which is fine with me. Gives me more time to do sum research.
Sent From The Deathstar I Created ~Jesus~
Negative, there is a very simple solution (found below). By the way, Thanks for your service, coming from an ex-sailor (well technically, submariner)
Use the ljc build option, option 42 in the toolkit. Works fine, I've tested personally. The difference in ljc and ma7 weren't any changes to the os per say, just minor tweaks that the former option still works with the latter version.

Iv triedca couple o times already and it keeps hangn at PIT map (I think thats what it was called) then it would say fail. Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Which option are you using?
I've used option 42, all in one root.
Edit: wrote this before, but can be used in this case also.
Basically, download the toolkit to your pc. Unzip the files and install the program (path ends with a .exe and Windows will tell you it's an application)
That tells you step by step exactly what to do.
To make it even easier, in the toolkit, it'll ask if you want to check for an update, type no.
Option 42. (Sprint ljc build)
Option 1. (Unplug device from computer before doing that)
It may bring you back to the first screen, which if so, option 42 again
Option 2. (Root/unroot)
Option 3 ALL-IN-ONE. (Option 4 May work also... I'd go with any that root, insecure boot, and custom recovery, just me though)
From there, it will tell you step by step what you need to do
I find TWRP is easier to use on this phone, so I would choose option 2 after typing no from here.
~swyped from my galaxy note 2 on the now network
Iv done the steps you described when I first started to try this program out and it still gets hung up at the mapping phase then pops up the red FAIL box. Iv selected 42 then the options for root, superSU, twrp then I plug in my usb while in usb debugging mode. Am I misding something?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Okay, so you don't hook the phone up until the debug step... make sure usb debugging is on, plug phone up, start toolkit, make sure the upper left has your serial number under adb devices. Start with the phone plugged in.

This is a free method to carrier unlock.

Read the instructions in the opening post very carefully.
It requires being on ICS 4.0.4. Read through the thread from last page back for help finding links that work.
It works, I've done it recently.
If you are referring to flashing a new ROM, then no it would not carrier unlock your device.
