I believe being that its unlocked, and you are running att software on it, you can root it with the att guides.
When you root you are not changing anything you are just pushing on CWM and SU not system files are being changed.. when you flash ROMs you may want to use the ATT roms because the data and system files being use to pull your service are for the ATT carrier and it might interfere with the sim card.
I don't think the above poster is right. If you bought it from T-Mobile, then it may need the T-Mobile software regardless of which network you are using it on. Someone with more experience may be able to attest either way, but I think I am correct in this. If I'm not, I'll learn something new!
EDIT: I think you need to use the T-Mobile ROM, but you could root it via ATT guides as long as you are using the proper ROM. (Like, don't use Mr. Robinson's ATT JB ROM to root you T-Mobile phone).
to play it safe, i would follow the T-Mobile guides and ROMs.
i have an AT&T version that is unlocked to work with T-Mobile, but i only use the AT&T related stuff.

Hope I dont get flamed for this but i guess getting flammed on the internet is better then messing up my girlfriend's phone . I have a Sprint GS3 and all the ROMs on the forums over there are made specifically for Sprint phones. I'm just curious as to how it works having AT&T, Rogers, Bell ect. in the same forum? Do all ROMs work for all carriers in this forum? Should I only be flashing ATT ROMs? Im nervous to have her flash something and mess her phone up...I just did the no trip root method and bumped her up to Jellybean. I'm glad y'all finally got some JB love over here! Any tips or advice on what not to do would be appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: Also see people having issues with loosing their IMEI...how are people doing this? Looks like its mainly from installing custom ROMs... Looks like you can back up your IMEI, but what are these people doing to have this happen to them because I'd like to avoid that also...
really...nothing?

No i understand that... My girlfriend has an AT&T GS3 that i just rooted for her. I was wondering if theres anything i have to worry about flashing Rogers or other carriers listed in this sections development forums? I've read something about changing APN's and other stuff that is foreign to me being on Sprint.
if it's in this section, you're most likely safe to flash it.
as for the 0 IMEI bug/glitch/thing... that's just a random thing, there's really no way to know if it'll happen the next time you flash a ROM. you just have to take precautions. backup your IMEI. if you flash your first ROM, and your IMEI is there, try to stick with that ROM.

Appreciate the response. Damn... so now every time you flash a ROM you need to not only make a nandroid but also back up your IMEI? also... i don't have an ATT GS3 in front of me...How hard is it to change your APN settings? I heard you need to mess with that sometimes if you're having LTE issues. We don't have an option like that on our phone

once you backup your IMEI, it's backed up. just don't lose your backup. so make a backup of your backup.
as for APN settings, that varies as well. it all depends on ROM, location, signal, provider, etc. but it's rather straight forward. go to your network settings, and you'll see a menu for APN. you don't need an ATT phone to see it.

Sorry didnt understand your question...
Yea hardware on i747 and i747m are the same therefore you can flash the same roms on each device. All you have to do is flash the correct modem and fix the apns for your carrier att, telus etc
I have a t-mobile SGS3 that I rooted through directions on this forum. Now I cant get it to update. Do I need to get
my phone unrooted to get updates.. The reason i rooted it was because i was told i could take pictures while i was on the phone(not true)
I found i just needed to down load an app for that. I dont even know what the purpose of rooting your phones does. I was looking for a phone store that could unroot my specific phone but have no luck. So whats the procedure ? THANKS:good:

i say before you do anything to your phone like unroot it or flash the newest update thats rooted , to read around A LOT. AND I MEAN A LOT you dont seem to know what to do at all so i really suggest read a bit before any action. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
just read and follow instructions if you're t-mobile usa you download the file with the name t999 if you're in canada you most likely have t999v. remember to read! gl :good:
I have a SGH-I467 (Not for resale version)
I don't care about any of the AT&T features (LTE or Data) I just want to root this tablet and install custom ROMs on it.
My question is:
Can I do any of this yet? If so, how?
Thanks!
I have the same device, can I safely use the N5100 ROMs, Kernels and add-ons ?, thanks

Same here,
Maybe XDA could start a new section just for the SGH-I467 ?
This might be a long shot and I don't advise anyone doing this unless you're comfortable possibly bricking your device, but maybe you could odin a wifi or international image to your AT&T Note and use their exploits to gain root.
update
Anyone able to suceed at root yet?
This is why I bought the international version and just pop my US SIM in. LTE is nice and everything but I prefer having phone functionality and H+. The At&t version is modified to remove the phone features and add the american LTE. With that in mind I wouldn't flash a international rom on it.
If you do flash an international rom make sure u remove the modem/radios and you will have to make sure the "parts line up". There are memory addresses for the kernel/radio/os etc. I'm not sure if they are in the same places. If they are not then you will brick your device if for instance u put the kernel where the bootloader is suppose to be. I wouldn't try anything unless your still covered by the money back warranty.
TLDR: Let one of the seasoned Root developers find an exploit. I'm sure they could if they have the time and the device.

Ive done a lot of reading in regards to this. almost every place I read says other roms should flash on device not of those carriers. reason im investigating this is because CM for sprint has all the sms issues. and after reading through all the tmo roms im not seeing anyone mention sms issues. every time I try to flash another carriers rom it reads that they are carrier specific and fail. is there a way I can make another carriers rom flash to sprint. my device is unlocked, though im using a sprint sim for lte and from what im reading also, its just a matter of an apn setting for sprint, and/or a radio flash for sprint. anyways, comments?

I wouldn't flash another carriers roms. it can make your phone brick and just a paper weight. other carriers have different settings and files that our phone doesn't..i don't know how to explain it better but I don't recommend it

That is kind of unfortunate if that's the case that SMS doesn't work right out of the gate on Sprint CM ROM's then. While I have gotten used to it, it does get annoying after a while having to reconfigure using the *#*#4636#*#* method every time.
I have tried to flash a few other carrier based ROMs via TWRP but they typically fail anyways (which is probably a good thing). I don't think I've ever actually successfully flashed another carrier based ROM through TWRP.

You can't just flash a tmobile rom on this device. It sounds like to me you need to get your phone unlocked to use tmobile sim. I would suggest http://www.idoneapps.com to sim unlock your phone.
I have no idea what you mean by password screen. What firmware are you on? How did you root your phone? Did you turn off reactivation lock?
I can try to help you but i need to know more detail of your problem. And do understand I'm limited on time i spend here. I'll check back when i can.

Sorry, for the newbness. I have tried to read through some threads to get an idea of the correct way to do this. Of course, first time trying to flash a device. I have a Galaxy S9+ 965U. Purchased the phone from U.s. Cellular, but I am switching to a Verizon provider. So if I am reading correct, I am going to want to flash the U1 version onto my device, then I should be able to find a Verizon O.s. here and run that? Or what are my options if using Verizon for service? Sorry if it seems easy to some, but maybe my ADD keeps some of the descriptions/ instructions from sinking in fully. I have seen the thread here on U1 to U conversion, but I haven't seen the Verizon O.s. or do I need to run the Verizon O.s. with Verizon service?

I'm on the same boat, I have an Tmobile S9 and I want to use Verizon on it. Someone please help.
I'm not sure if we have to use a Verizon O.s., or maybe a custom flash from a private party. But honestly I wouldn't know which custom flash would be good or work good without being buggy. If anyone has any input, it would be appreciated.
