[Q] Rom variants - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Can you flash a rom from another type of galaxy s3?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Yes and no.
Tmobile- yes, somethings may be broken but the porting script by cpu99 should fix that.
Sprint- not sure but there are ports and a porting script should work
Verizon- no, but the porting script might work
International- no. The script may work on that but why test it, too many people have hard bricks from flashing these.

Let's just keep it simple and say no.

Mostly no. Some T-Mo roms are compatible with this model but it will be stated (or usually is) by the dev in the OP of that rom.

I prefer to give them something to research, because they obviously didn't before they asked this question.

I don't know about the Skyrocket but if you flash a galaxy S2 rom you're gonna brick your device. There's been a few members who posted this already.
It is the same device minues LTE so in theory it would work. I know they have flashed our roms with no brick only issues would be APN settings. I am not a dev so i could be wrong
Only the Telus matches enough.
So yes or no
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
No. You would need some kinda conversion tool or something like that
Oh ok thats alright i thought id ask ya now
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
You can. You will then need to edit it to fit the tmobile settings
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
It's not that bad.
Just need to flash a kernel, modem, and replace a gps.conf, and you should be fine and dandy.
The reason why I say a modem is because of the whole LTE thing, I wouldn't want it to screw anything up on your devices. I know for a fact we can flash your modem, our conversion script doesn't include a modem, so we can use your modem, don't know if it's vice-versa.
There are skyrocket roms in the dev section, safe to flash
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Can u please give me the names of them and the instructions
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
They are the same phone except the radio they use. So obviously would need minor tweeking but im sure you could flash with no issue..
My question is why? I just looked at their dev section and they have all the same things we do..
Flash the skyrocket rom you want then flash the zip in this thread right after.

I had a Galaxy SII Epic touch then switched to ATT got the skyrocket. I had roms from the Epic touch on my card. I selected the wrong rom, one for the epic not the skyrocket and bricked my phone. Sent the phone to mobletechvideo and had it unbricked. Super fast turn around good service. I recommend it! http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/contact/

My random ported roms thread

Basically what this thread is meant to be is just a thread where I port random ROMs I don't really want to support or bother with bugs. You'd be surprised about how many cool looking roms there are Here's a list if what I'm porting. List will get bigger as i find something of interest . Ideas/suggestions are welcomed *I do not mess with international roms * I'm not risking my phone or yours
*Disclaimer: some of these ports might be roms I haven't tried on my phone due to lazyness so i might not know if it boots but you take the risks of flashing so its not my fault if your phone bites the dust

I would test on my phone when I don't have anything happening and if I'm not busy. I usually don't have time to wipe my phone. For example im 2 releases behind on my own rom because I don't have time to update. Also any rom I post here won't brick your phone the worse that can happen is a boot loop. Like right now i have the time to test my provision port from the Gnex and it bootloops so gonna figure this one out

Is this still live I'm wondering about doing Provision aka jelly vision but the only one that is 4.1.2 is on a international. So that might be out of the question right now unless some one wants to do one from source. I don't know how to build from scratch. But what needs to be done to port from the Sprint Galaxy Nexus everything I've tried it just bootloops....what am I missing I've followed the usual port guides for ICS/JB I have ported Roms before with no issues but this one is giving me headache:banghead:

It's actually not, because you would've had to use parts from AOSP 4.2.2 anyway
Using Touchwiz as a base wouldn't turn out well because there are too many proprietary things everywhere anyway
Thanks for the advice! What type of kernel do I need to use then? Aosp?

I mean, we only have AOSP kernels for 4.2.2
Since you're porting from Samsung to samsung, I'd say to try unpacking the s4 boot.img, replace the zImage with the zImage from out 4.2.2 AOSP boot.img and then repack and try flashing the rom with that boot.img...changing the mount points in the updater-script of course

There is a reason that no hardened veterans have done it yet, its going to be damn near impossible. The hardware of the phone, software, and literally everything else is entirely different. It is the same reason we can't just port sense to other phones

Question about the roms

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.
BTW I haven't checked the links out yet I will when I get off work.

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
Just my 2¢®

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.

Quick question: can I load a T-Mobile ROM on a Verizon s3?

I switched to T-Mobile today. I'm using my Verizon s3. I have data and can make calls and text. And I only get 2g....which is know is because of the radio in the phone. But I'm just wondering if I can put a T-Mobile ROM on my Verizon s3 since I have their service and what not. Its for nothing more than an esthetic thing for me.
