Here's the KOODO ICS 4.0.4 stock ROM I used CWM to flash to stock after I tried the custom ROM.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/koodostock/files/KOODO_SGH-T989D_Stock_Signed.zip/download
I also flashed DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIDE before I flashed this or you can used CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 to wipe system and cache.

Interesting, how does this compare to the Telus ICS stock ROM? Is there anything additional it has that Telus doesn't? I assume this would work with any of the ICS radios as well?

I also tried the TELUS stock myself and didn't feel any difference. I flashed the modified TELUS radio and it was working fine.
Thanks a lot! Is it rooted? Is the radio included?

How did you dumped the firmware? is there a way to have a stock recovery flashable?

Read that it was the exact same thing minus the boot logo. I have no idea from a dev standpoint though... interested to know if it has a different radio on it since all the Telus ones don't seem to agree with my phone.

Not rooted, you can use the S2 Toolkit to root.

This is just a CWM backup converted to a CWM flashable zip. I don't think you can flash with the stock recovery.

From the android version history 4.0.4 only have the following features:
- Stability improvements
- Better camera performance
- Smoother screen rotation
- Improved phone number recognition
So, not a lot of changes from 4.0.3 but the stability improvements might be an important one.
As for radio I think it was the same as TELUS but I can't tell now as I flashed mine shortly after I got the phone and didn't make a backup.
Would be nice if someone with the KOODO phones can let us know.
If someone can debloat this, include Super User and couple of scripts to make this a smooth ride, i would be interested in flashing it.

What are the steps in flashing this?? I just have the stock rooted tmobile 4.0.3. Do you need a rotation fix or any sort of extra zip after flashing the rom?? I want to try it if its a stock 4.0.4
Sent from my SGH-T989
I had no idea koodo even offered the t989. They mostly carry low end phones besides the iPhone and that will run you $500 on the tab. To the point though, I imagine its identical to the telus version as they are a sister company

These are the steps that I took to flash this;
1. Flash DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE or use the new CWM 6.0.1.2 to wipe ROM
2. Flash Radio [I used the one from DARKSIDE.TLLE4]
3. Flash Stock ROM
4. Wait 10 minutes after reboot [I waited 2 minutes and it was fine]
I was thinking about giving this one a try, since I normally run the Telus stock as my daily, but that has some issues with compass and its 4.0.3.
Thanks for posting this.
Also, Koodo just started offering the T989D.
I think it just need to be rooted and deodexed, I don think here is a radio included though
Koodo is Telus's discount brand. I doubt there's more bloat that on Telus ROMs, must be the same, except the 4.0.4 part

He wants a ROM that can be pushed/flashed through ODIN, I think...
My question is do you have Mobile ODIN Lite, or Pro? If Pro, MO will root the ROM for you as it's being flashed....best money I've spent on an apk (along with the pro versions of several other XDA Developer developed apks)! If you're Lite, you may need to root after flashing the ROM I linked to, below (if you want the latest official TW build).

Did not work,i tried flahing rooted rom and only thing it flashed was stock recowery and got stuck on rom part.So now i have a phone with stock recovery and no pc.Is there any signed cwm or roms that can be flashed from stock recovery?
Did you read through all of the posts on the threads you went to? More often than not, someone else has experienced the same issue and a solution has already been found. You should not do anything on your phone until you are as prepared as possible in knowing what you'll do and what to expect - including the possible negative outcomes.
You obviously have access to the forums, so why not put ODIN on that PC and start over?

Not unless i get a pc and Odin or i can find signed flashable cwm or rom that i can flash in stock recovery.
Right now all i can get is stock recover(because rom did not flash) and download mode.
I have another unrooted S3 and rooted S2,i wonder if its possible to root a android phone from another android phone by terminal and by connecting two phones together with usb,can it be done?

I could see MAYBE being possible on an older/less secure phone where the superoneclick or zergrush exploit worked but in this case no way unless your kernel is insecure and looking at both roms you were linked to, yours is not.
altho u say u flashed the rooted one so u probably have root and just can't boot. How far do you get into the boot process. Cuz if i had to guess you flashed the Rom and didn't wipe data and you're hanging on the glowing Samsung logo. Some hope lies there. If im right, try wiping data in stock recovery. Either way what your attempting may just be possible so report back

He's wrong. Unless a ROM is ported, it runs a risk of being incompatible and could potentially brick your phone. Even then, a ported ROM may come with certain bugs &/or stability issues.
This is especially true for ROMS intended for the International GS3.

.Not true. May come with bugs but flashing roms for another US variant of the S3 is safe just make sure there are no modems in it. As long as its for a US Gs3 than its safe. Open the zip and if all you see is META-INF,system and boot.img you will be fine flashing it. Bugs can be expected tho and your screen orientation in landscape mode will probably be flipped. The part about the intl version is true tho. Dont flash those.

Here is a good example: there is a note 2 ROM that is said to be usable across all carriers posted in the dev section. However many users see a lot of bugs with flashing it (signal drops is a big one). Phone works, just not as expected or usefuly.

Not a good example as the note 2 has many differences and is alot harder to port(hence the instability). Theres alot to change like screen size, a different processor etc. This will at least run and data will probably work but its not guaranteed. It will not brick you though.

That's good to know. I knew about the baseband part already, but got the rest of my information from reading the sticky thread in Android Development about how not to brick your phone. I've flashed a tmo kernel (Morfic's Trinity) and experienced excellent results - right up until I tried taking ng a picture and discovered that the auto rotate was reversed and everything was upside down in landscape.
ROM - OdexedBlue
Baseband - LJ7
Kernel - Stock LI3

So if the auto rotation is backwards is there a way to fix that? Or is it something you would just have to deal with? I like some of the t mobile roms he uses but if its buggy i probably won't even bother. How can you tell if it is an international rom or us?

If there is a modem in the zip woukd it be safe to just remove it and flash a sprint modem after the initial rom flash or transfer a sprint modem into the zip file prior to a flash? Where would the "META INF" file be located to verify the flash would work?

META-INF is a folder at the base of the zip. If there is a modem you can remove it and replace with a sprint one to make it easier. You could also remove it but that might require a edit to the updater-script and that can be a pain in the ass if ur not real familiar with the process. If you choose to remove it then flashing another is not needed since itll be untouched. but as said probably easiest to just replace. I recommend 7zip if u need to do that
I downloaded the cdma file for the SPH-L710 from Sammobile.com and flashed it with Mobile Odin. I now have 4.1.2 but my Wi-Fi radio won't turn on no matter what I do.

I saw the stock MD4 (4.1.2) Touch Wiz but I was unsure if Touch Wiz is what I needed. I am on Sprint in the US and my phone is SPH-L710. With my Galaxy S1, I had Cyanogen Mod which I flashed nightly builds and then my phone died (black screen) after 2 years. I've had the S3 for a few months. I rooted it but did not modify anything so my flashing skills are rusty . Someone suggested Mobile Odin so that's what I used to flash the firmware.

Glad to hear your back to "normal" :laugh:
Im new to this part of XDA, I just recently purchased a Galaxy S3 T999L.
Purchasing this phone, I had no idea there was a non LTE Model which leads me in a bit of confusion when looking for a custom Rom
Im no rookie when it comes to flashing. If you look Below in my sig you can see the devices I currently have and have flashed different roms many times in the past. My question is what ROMs will work with my T999L? Ive looked and to my confusion have seen more for the T999 than anything since its been around much longer.. I've been looking and the forum here is a bit fragmented and its hard to see which ROM will go to which device. Please forgive me for my ignorance, Im just trying to play catch up, and perhaps contribute in the future in some way.
Edit: Im more familiar with flashing Tablets than phones, I dont have much experience with flashing radios and other phone related stuff...Is there a Difference with T999 and T999L other than the Radio?
edit 2: No comments? I guess either i said the wrong thing, or I posted in the wrong forum..
Thank you in advance
The t-999 ROMs will work with your t-999l, except the 4.3 touchwiz ROMs for the moment. 4.3 aosp/cm/aokp is fine.. There's really not much difference between the two, except the t-999l was updated to support lte.. Do not flash a t-999 modem to your t-999l, it won't brick but it won't pick up service at all. I suggest looking at the t-999l and t-999n q&a thread for further info

I did just that.... And u didn't have to be rude about it..
Thanks for your input
Don't mean to hi-jack this thread but it kind of pertains the the question. I have the T999L as well. I've read Doc's informational thread about the T999L and T999N.
In terms of this part:
"ONLY flash T999L firmware to a T999L and T999N firmware to a T999N!!!!
If it does not match your model EXACTLY, it will almost certainly brick your device!!!"
I keep reading I can safely flash T999 roms, kernels, etc. But it's the firmware process that confuses me. Should I only stick to 4.1.2 roms (can I even flash Jamison's 4.1.1 rom for example), or can I flash a 4.3 TW rom in the future, assuming the leaked builds get LTE support when the official update comes out?
Thanks in advance.

If that's true then how come the T999L wasn't updated to 4.3 alongside the T999? The 4.1.2 software wasn't even the same. No multi-window, no Note 2 photo gallery, still rockin the old "My Files" app on the T999L 4.1.2 software.....At first I thought it was just the "LTE Radio" difference but I guess there's more to it seeing the differences in software.

Don't mean to hi-jack this thread but it kind of pertains the the question. I have the T999L as well. I've read Doc's informational thread about the T999L and T999N.
In terms of this part:
"ONLY flash T999L firmware to a T999L and T999N firmware to a T999N!!!!
If it does not match your model EXACTLY, it will almost certainly brick your device!!!"
I keep reading I can safely flash T999 roms, kernels, etc. But it's the firmware process that confuses me. Should I only stick to 4.1.2 roms (can I even flash Jamison's 4.1.1 rom for example), or can I flash a 4.3 TW rom in the future, assuming the leaked builds get LTE support when the official update comes out?
Thanks in advance.

Firmware refers to the files used in Odin, so for those, make sure you use the ones for your device only. You can flash any ROM, even 4.1.1 I believe.. And yes once there's a leaked 4.3 firmware for the t999l you should be able to just flash the modem and then flash a 4.3 tw ROM, based on what we experienced with the t999

Thanks a lot for this. Been bugging me for a while now. I'll probably take the plunge soon and use "The Recovery Way." Rooted my first S3 using motochopper back in June or July when I first got it, but problems arose and exchanged it at Costco (just got it and WiFi wouldn't connect after a factory reset). Been scared since lol. Also scared me that I wouldn't receive official updates anymore as it said it was modified, but that doesn't bug me anymore reading all the complaints about the whole no turning back.
Thanks again!
I'm looking into flashing a custom ROM onto my T999L for the first time as well...have any of you guys taken the plunge yet, and have any feedback on specific ROMS? I think I will try with AOKP
