Hey everyone,
I just got the Galaxy S3 from Telus today, and I wanted to get Jellybean up and running as quick as possible. I rooted using mskip's toolkit, but in my haste I used Rom Manager to download a custom recovery meant for the Metro PCS Galaxy S3 and I think a rom (cm10) also meant for the Metro PCS Galaxy S3. Whenever I boot, the network shows up as Metro PCS when it should be Telus. When I use the Canada version of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898 , the phone boots up, says activating, but never finishes. If I exit out of it, nothing works. Can someone please help me?
Thanks so much, and any help is appreciated.
Start from scratch. Load a telus ROM via Odin. Root. Then continue on.

Alright, that's what I'll do.
Thanks so much!

You may need to enter your network information. Your rom may not be set up to enter that information automatically. Check your apn settings and make sure they are right for your network.

Flash a stock ROM back on it.

And use Odin 3.07(the one we should be using), not 1.85.
Also, check to see if your imei number is correct (open a dialer, *#06#)
Hi there!
I have a Galaxy S3 SGH T999 version. It has Tmobile rom, but I am trying to install windmobile stock rom via odin (3.07 - tried other older versions) and it fails the secure check.
Is there way to resolve this? I really want to install the stock windmoile rom , and did lot of searching and couldn't really find a lot of info, except that someone with AT&T galaxy S3 had same issue when installing Rogers rom.
I would really appreciate it, thank you!

If you continue trying to ODIN flash firmware which is not intended for your specific phone
you will end up with a nice shiny brick sooner or later, in your case it will be sooner.
If you want the appearance of a windows phone, the best way to do it is to find themes and
launchers which make the phone look like a winmobile phone.
There are a lot of themes and launchers at the play store which do exactly what you are looking for.
Check it out B4 it's too late..
It's not a windows phone style, I think you misunderstood me.
I just don't like T-mobile rom and its bloatware. The windmobile rom is more clean.
Both phones models are same, exact. I don't see how it would be bricked. It's just a mismatch of bootloader, thus secure check fails. I've seen people with windmobile SGH T999V flash T-mobile rom, and it works perfectly.
It's just SGH T999 tmobile version isn't able to install SGH T999V (windmobile, mobilicity) canadian variant roms because of some block T-mobile setup. Some people had done this, but didn't specificy how though.
I would like to know that please.
If you don't like bloat, then remove it. Don't flash another carrier's rom.
Hi guys,
Newbie here, please be kind with me. I have my step son's Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II (SGH-T679) from T-Mobile and want to install any stock or custom ROM since he has Android v. 2.3.6. The cellphone is rooted and whenever I try using ANY of the custom popular ROMS available, it is NOT recognized when I boot into recovery. The phone has the latest drivers. At times, I can see a zip ROM file but when I click on it to install, it fails because of not having "enough" space. I have ODIN3 installed in a Windows XP virtual environment since I use Linux. If it is rooted, do I need to do anything with the bootloader? Or was this taken care of when I rooted it? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
SOLVED!

Hi guys! I solved the issue. SGH-T679 now has CM11 running smoothly. Now I have to go to a place for the phone to be unlocked.; unless anyone knows a sure way to do this with out screwing up the 5 chances to enter the code. LOL!

Hi AlI, hope I posted this question in the correct area. I am new to the whole flashing /rooting . I've watched several videos and read tutorials but I'm confused about the order of how to go about doing what I want to do. ..??
I purchased an Unlocked AT&T Galaxy 4 mini from eBay.
I want to flash it to a stock T-Mobile ROM -Kit Kat 4.4.2.
Do I need to root the phone first before attempting to flash it?
Or can I do the Flash T-Mobile ROM without rooting.
I don't want to turn my phone into a brick!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Excited to learn how to start doing this, thanks again, Dan.
This forum is for the T-Mobile s4, not the s4 mini.
You cannot cross-flash stock ROMs from one Samsung phone to another Samsung phone using Odin; however, you may be able to flash ports from other Samsung phones using a custom recovery.
