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.

Does anyone have any idea when the Miui rom will make it to our device? I think they already have a few versions for the at&t one but not for T-Mobile. So sad

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.

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..

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.

They have an ATT version on their webpage. I flashed it and it worked fine. I didn't stay on it for more than 30 minutes though, so I don't know if it's stable or not.
Everything on ChameleonOS works..
Flash the latest nightly and its incredibly smooth!
Its definitely a DD and never had issues with it. Got rid of it because I really don't like anything MiUi

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?

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.

It's a functional ROM.
There's always a risk with flashing any ROM, the more you know, the less the risk.

It's a very nice ROM. If you are looking for AOSP ROM, give the Virgin ROM a try. I've used both and both are rock solid. Here is the link for Virgin ROM

You need to research and learn to do it correctly to avoid problems but in answer to your question, there is a version of cyanogenmod for the SGH-M919 variant and it works just fine. I am currently using a touchwiz rom but one of my good friends had been on cyanogenmod for 2 months now and won't use anything else.
