No. Itll fail Odins device check to make sure you are flashing the right firmware for your phone.

He could first flash the T-Mobile stock ICS ROM and from then flash jb ROM or he wouldn't need to if ota recognized it as T999 instead of T999v on stock T-Mobile ROM..either way make a backup of your imei before doing anything and a back up .good luck

Right, but with Mobile odin you dont get the full update, (so why not just flash from recovery).
For the otas you can mod the build.prop, or the ota itself, but I believe its a bit more complicated when using odin. Was going to look at a little better tonight. Someone else asked me the exact same thing earlier.

Pretty much what doc is saying here. If you guys are unsure about something, it is likely because it is a bad idea. ROMs are specific to builds, carriers, etc... it is just not worth the risk.
Partitions, in theory should be the same as far as what is being updated - x is being flashed to x partition... just not a good idea. You flash a radio to the wrong partition... game over... hope you had the insurance.

Ok, so I have managed to pretty much do everything I have tried with my phone without having to ask a single question, but this time I just can't figure it out. I was trying to restore my SGH-T989D (Telus) to factory so I could upgrade to ICS through Kies. I was using ODIN with a "ROM"?? I found on XDA as well as another I found else where. Each one restores the phone to: PDA: KJ3 / PHONE: KJ3 / CSC: KJ3 (TMB). I am assuming the TMB stands for T-Mobile and I need the TLS for Telus. In ODIN I tried just flashing while checking off the PDA box, as well as other times also selecting the CSC option. The two files I used are: SGH-T989D_TLS_T989DTLKJ3 and T989DTLKJ3_T989DTLKJ3_TLS. As you can see the second file even ends with the TLS and yet when I am done, KIES still says I have TMB and "Your device does not support software upgrading via KIES. Anyways, I apprecaite all the great info I have found here, but I am stuck.. Thank you for any help or insight anyone can provide!

Just checked SamMobile. They don't have SGH-I317M firmware.
PLEASE someone post a link to STOCK ROM, or MODEM, or KERNEL
I will highly appreciate it!
You'll have to get someone who is rooted to post a dump. Until the push an OTA update we likely won't have a firmware available. I know it is being monitored on Rogers. If you have different APNs or want a different company stock you will need to send them your info.
Watch on samsung-updates.com as well. Email them your info if you are on a different network. They respond very quickly.

if its the firmware from sammobile you'll need to extract the tar file from it. Then put it in the PDA slot in Odin and flash the tar.

Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

I was thinking, I rarely use anything that requires root and I am thinking of just going back to stock. However, the only firmware I have I'd the original tar file that I had when I rooted it in November and used when I had to do a warranty replacement. How would I get a newer version/update?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Depends which md5 you download.. If you just download a stock ROM like stockarama, you flash through recovery, if you download a stock image then you will have to flash it with Odin.. The one you flash through recovery will probably have root, the one with Odin won't, as long as it's not a root66 image, but you can also just unroot the stock ROM, so up to you

They are all flashed in Odin.
If you want root, use the root66 firmware. Otherwise use the regular stock fw.

internal storage
Hi can someone tell me a few things:
Does flashing take up your internal storage and if so if phone is put back to how it was brought from store will the internal storage go back to that also? Personally I don't think it makes a difference as I'm trying to explain to my son that I think apps take up most of your internal storage.
Anything that goes on the /data partition can affect your internal storage. So if you install an app, it will take up some of your storage space on internal.
Flashing is different. Roms for example flash to the /system partition. Unless the dev includes apps they specifically put on /data this will have little effect on you're available storage space. The only way it does affect it is system apps store their data and dalvik cache on the /data partition.
Flashing mods and other items usually will be the same as flashing roms in this sense. Some will include data that takes up your user space, but most will have little, if any effect on it. There is usually little reason to flash anything to the data partition as you can generally just install normally.

Good morning,
I rooted with the method that edfunkycold suggested above. Like I said things have changed dramatically since my Evo 4g on the rooting/rooted front. So I am still considering myself a noob. I flashed TWRP instead of CWM as I used CWM before and TWRP sounded interesting.
Here's my issue and I have searched the internet to no avail. I want/need to do a complete nand backup before flashing anything but wimax is not listed in TWRP backup. Am I missing something? Please help.
Also, I know I can flash within TWRP from the list of compatible roms but are those the only roms available for me since I TWRP'd?
Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Wimax? You don't have a wimax phone anymore you have an LTE phone. just reboot into recovery click on backup and create a nandroid keep in mind a TWRP nandroid can not be restored with CWM or visa versa.
Do not download or flash any rom through an app first warning I will share with you. Do not flash from listed roms in TWRP. If you don't find the rom in the XDA Sprint S3 Development Section do not flash it. Or you risk owning a 600 dollar brick. Find the rom and download it from its source. At first I suggest you stick to TW stock based roms. Until your comfortable flashing and using your phone.
