Currently flashed CM10 tmo variant on my i747M Galaxy s3 . I have no issues with using the tmo variant, I want to jump back onto the at&t variant but is there any complications to it? Or can just flash an cm10 nightly on without doing anything out of the ordinary for flashing a rom

There are many of us here with i747ms running AT&T ROMs without issue, myself included. You will be fine.

you're looking too deep into this process. if you've done all the important things like make a nandroid and back things up then there is no reason to worry about anything.
I'm new to installing roms on the s3. I've had many different roms on my old Desire so I'm not entirely new to this, just had a few questions.
How easy is it to lose your imei number when flashing a new rom?
Is it dependent on anything specific?
Easy to fix if it does happen?
Anything else I should be worried about before flashing?
I'm looking at testing out cm10.1 and Task's rom as well as a few kernels.
Thanks.

Imei loss is random.
Best thing to do is to back it up. Easier to back up than to inject it back in manually. (Still not overly difficult but always have a backup)
Nothing to really worry about. Just don't flash a ROM not intended for your phone.

Actually most people loose IMEI going from a custom ROM to a stock based ROM.

So say im just stock att and rooted, and wanted to flash say csrom. do u think i would lose my imei? I had a gs3 last year. I flashed cm10 from the stock rom, then two days later flashed another rom cant rem which one. thats when i lost my Imei. fixed it. then just used my one x. til last week when i got another gs3.. its rooted and and stock right now. guess i just need to back up etc. before flashing just to be sure. etc..
So I guess this is just a problem we sometimes need to live with? Just back it up and restore as needed.

Sounds like it. I have been flashing roms and since my first android, htc hero.. never had a bricked phone or anything etc.. before that win mobile, again never had any issues. as long as you read and pay attention all will be good. I want to flash a rom on this s3 but gotta find the time to back up and such. kinda hard with a wife that's a RN working 12 hour shifts and 3 kids lol..
Yea, same here. I've flashed so many roms and kernels on my old s3. Had no worries ever about changing the partition table sizes and am familiar with adb just haven't found the time to look into all of the s3 stuff yet. I've had the phone since launch but just rooted it for the first time a few days ago.

custom i.e not based on a samsung ROM. It's not common but more common going from custom (aosp, aokp,CM) to any TW type ROM. Just back it up anyway, even though you more than likely will never have to worry about loosing it.

It should roll out in a week or two. I just have custom rom running 4.1.2 stock touchwiz try out axis rls 19. It's all themed but you can just choose stock and it has a lot of modifications.

I was on chat with a Videotron tech and he told me there's no date set for when the 4.1.2 firmware will be available.
I guess the same goes for all Canadian carriers of the S3 (version SGH-T999V).
Any news from Wind or the other Canadian carriers?

In the past they didnt announce a date, they just did it. Im certain itll happen though. Just gotta be patient I guess.
You can still flash one of the 4.1.2 roms based on the us version.

It seems we've been waiting long enough already but, what can we do?
I tried some of the roms based on 4.1.2 but I prefer to get the real update.
So, more of the waiting game!

I don't know what you mean by "real update" since the T999V's only difference is the baseband. If you get a stock rooted build of MD5 (Root66 is a great example), you have a "real update" to 4.1.2. Its just not official by Samsung but it will work the same as an official release would.
actually, there are more differences. Each of the 3 Canadian versions are very close to each other indeed, but there are small differences in what bloat is added. Plus I was also told one of them (videotron I think) uses different network technologies than the other two.
None of them have T-Mobile bloatware though and are quite lightweight in that regard I've been told.
You are correct though, that any of them can use each others builds (minus baseband) and can easily get 4.1.2 by doing so.

What exactly is the reason that note 2 ROMs aren't compatible with all note 2? If you can flash modem/radios and edit apns then why won't any ROMs work?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
There is more than one "Note II" some of them have different hardware or are cmda instead of gsm ect. There are different sections for each version so if you go into the section for your specific phone all the roms should work. APN's/modems only go so far but they can enable you to use At&t(i317)/Canadian carrier(i317m) roms and in some cases International LTE (N7105) roms
Flashing a different modem/radio on your device! That isn't for your device, then you'll have yourself quite a bit of problems on your hands. That's why they are different Rom's, for different devices!! For all the other countries!!
But look here!
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Enter your device model# up in the top right. And you'll see all the different Rom's for the different places!!

But if I flashed a Verizon or sprint ROM and while still in recovery flashed my modem (the modem for my phone of course)shouldn't that allow service for the phone. Besides that stuff what is so different file wise that they aren't universal.

Ok what you need to UNDERSTAND is that if you flash something that had the modem included! Then you'll be looking at a very expense paperweight:banghead:!!! If no modem then possible you can take that ride??? But personally I wouldn't flash nothing that's not for my phone OKAY!!!
But do as you please to do, it's your device.
Good luck with your choices

I don't understand why so many people insist on flashing roms not found in our very own development section. Those are there for a reason.

Hey I'll start by saying that while I'm no dev I'm not a complete noob. I bought a SGH-T999 from CL, however it's flashed with a FW from the 999L. I tried ODIN to stock, standard recovery, mobile ODIN pro. Nothing works. My main pet peeve is that I can't get a lock on my GPS, SMH makes me feel like I'm using my old Vibrant.

Then do not flash firmware from any other variant. Probably whoever sold it to you just flashed my Rom hoping to get LTE.
Since it reports it's a T999L, mobile Odin won't work. You'll have to change the build.prop or flash a T999 Rom.
