Anybody have any clue if there any ROMS in development for Virgin Mobile USA users for the Wildfire S? Would love to see CM7 or maybe even Wildfire S -JikantaruROM XE™|Sense2.1|DATA2SD|HighQuality & Performance 10-30-11 for this model. I am one of the few who have successfully turned the S-OFF!!!! Please help!!!
An unofficial CM7 port with an overclockable kernel is here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226765
It's the best you can get right now IMO.
I also have Virgin Mobile (Bell), but in Canada.
Tried that but I keep getting this error when I flash it.
Ugh don't understand why I am gettting this problem!!!!
Still having this problem I just don't get it!!!!! I really need this ROM as for some reason I can't keep my internal memery any higher than 15mb.
I just may shoot myself.......LOL.....I mean my $200 dollar Wildfire S is doing worse than my supercheap Sanyo Zio.
i had the same problem
i fixed it by updating clockmound recovery
after installing it, it stayed in the bootloader screen(after nandroid backup sd slot wouldn't work)
there is only 1 cdma rom atm that i know of working
Yeah I couldn't get cm7 to work for me, to my knowledge there is a stock ROM for us VM USA uses being tossed around here at XDA and there is a guy Over at Android central trying to get cm7 going, but he's mostly on his own as far as development.
That's about it.

Agreed
I would also love to see a ROM developed to work with the VM USA version of this phone. If anyone is taking suggestions, please make it Senseless, as it takes up SOOO much space, and I would actually like to put some games and Netflix on this phone.
Can anyone tell me if you can run the same ROMs for these two phones. I will be getting the SGH-T999V on Wind Mobile in Canada. But I'm a little concerned for developer support for this phone, in which case I may get the SGH-T999 instead. But it would be much cheaper and easier to get it from my own carrier. So if anyone can let me know typically if the Canadian version of T-Mobile Galaxy S series phones are able to run the same ROMs, it would be much appreciated.
Hey. I just got my s3 from Videotron, it is also the v model. Personally, I would wait until the Canadian versions are out. Just this noob's opinion.
I'm also wondering this, but I've seen some posts saying how the modems of the SGH-T999 and the SGH-T999V are incompatible which means that a lot of ROMs won't be shared from the T-Mobile version to the Videotron version
Does anyone know the answer to this? pls and thanks.

You are wrong. I got my T999V from Wind canada, wiped and flashed TMOUS stock ROM right over it. Its been working solid so far.
Tried a couple of other TMO ROMs also but am a stock ROM kind of guy.
Average speed of 8Mbs download and 2.25Mbs Upload in the DC area.
I intend to flash TMOUS stock modem this weekend and see if the speed would crawl into the upper 2 digits.
IMO it is essentially the same phone w/ same internals. Only reason for getting was to stick with my grandfathered $5.99 T-Zones which works PERFECTLY with the thing.

I never said they weren't the same phone. I only said that I've seen people posting around saying that if you flash a T999 ROM that changes the modem on a T999V, then you'll run into problems. Am I wrong about seeing posts by other people that the two phones have different basebands?
Next time you post something, let's not try and sound like a douche in the first three words.

I have a Videotron GSIII (Québec) and I have no issues at all. I think the added V is just for Videotron.
I used a T999 Root method, a T999 CWM and I currently use the CM10 from these forums.
Bonne chance !

How do I sound like one? Saying one "is wrong" Take it easy cowboy. All I stated was my experience with the phone. No need for name calling.
On a lighter note, it seems the modem are totally different thus a Tmobile modem baseband would definitely not work on a wind or Mobility variant and would render the phone unusable. In conclusion Roms could be shared but modem/radio files can't be shared. Again I am stating my experience, "no need for anyone to wet their pants"

You could've stated your experience without starting the post with "You are wrong", period and all. Try responding to someone else stating his/her experience in a real life conversation with those three words before anything else and let's see how many people would think you sound like a douche. Not wetting my pants here or anything man, just sayin' that you came off sounding like a real total douche right off the bat.
But back on topic here, as soon as someone pulls the modem files off the T999V model, I'm sure a lot of the devs will update their ROMs to be completely compatible with the WIND/Videotron variant.
The majority of roms you run into will not include a radio. So when you flash the rom your radio will remain untouched.
It will be noted in the OP for the rom if the radio is included. If its not mentioned its generally safe to assume its not included.

Good to hear that T-Zones works on the T999V GS III. I have T-Zones myself and was looking at the T999V. Where you able to flash a T-mobile radio and get better speeds? You would think the T999V would hit double digit download numbers on the regular.

No no no please don't flash a tmobile radio. I did that on Friday and phone became a $500 ipod, imei was null/null and baseband was unkown. Couldn't connect to a network. Finally restored it yesterday. Currently I hit speed of about 8-11mpbs not bad for my everyday use.

How were you able to flash it? I tried and ODIN wouldn't let me
if you are talking about flashing roms. Try using cwm or twrp

if you are using cwm, make sure you have the latest version which I believe is 6.0.1.2
older versions of cwm fails to flash cm10 on sgs3 with jellybean baseband
Just install TWRP and use that instead. Not saying CWM is bad but TWRP for me has been a much more pleasant experience

Note II Owners, Developers, & XDA Members:
I briefly mentioned this in another, related thread. However, considering how unique and specific this is, I thought it best to create a thread dedicated to it. Furthermore, I am fully aware of just how counterintuitive this is. As a matter of fact, there was just an article on XDA News this week that discussed doing the exact opposite. So, without further adieu, here's my question.
Has anyone tried flashing an I317 (AT&T Note II) ROM onto an N7100/N7105 with an N7100/N7105 modem? I know it seems counterintuitive, but what if you really wanted an AT&T Note II, complete with all the stupid AT&T crapware, but still wanted an international IMEI? Anybody tried this yet?
Now, before a flood of criticism comes my way, let me save you the trouble. You're right. It makes much more sense to flash an N7100 ROM onto an I317 instead of vice versa. However, there are a few AT&T-specific features that are included in the I317's stock ROM that I would like to explore on my N7100. So if anyone has any experience or good advice to help get me going in the right direction, I would REALLY appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read this. You have my gratitude.
Thank you,
Ed (Mister_Mxyzptlk)

Also, I welcome anyone who's tried this with one of the other US variant's ROMs too... all except for Verizon.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app
I want to do this too
AT&T cannot (or WILL NOT) correctly provision unlocked phones so I can't get 4G speeds with my N7100 international Note 2 - haters! But the saleslady told me if I could get it to broadcast to the network as the SGH-i317 it would automatically pick up the 4G network. I have a little flashing experience from my Samsung Captivate, but isn't there a way to go in and change the network settings without rooting?
I think it would only work with the N7105 since the two phones are pretty much identical hardware wise. That being said, you'd need to grab an SGH-I317 ROM, run it through dsixda's Android Kitchen (making sure to extract the CSC as well during the working folder set up process), then delete modem.bin from the root of the working folder, then build the ROM - that would be the bare minimum required to take an AT&T ROM and make it flashable to an N7105 (because if you flash the modem, you're screwed and will need to restore the proper modem).
And look into making proper EFS NV item backups, along with the mk9efs partitions.
LiquidSmooth 4.2.2 ROM is available for both the ATT and Verizon S3's. I have the ATT and I regularly flash my Cousin and his wife's phones for them. But they're four hours away and I won't see them again for a couple months.
What I've done in the past with my ATT Skyrocket was to flash a TMobile Hercules ROM on it and customize it the way it needs to be, then just sent it to them to restore from CWM.
But, the Skyrocket & Hercules were essentially the same phone. So now that we all have the S3, and they are on Verizon now, I'm not sure how well I'll get away with this.
Basically I flash the ROM on my phone. Install all their apps. Set up all little tweaks & customizations. Then do a Nandroid for them to restore on their phone. Makes it a nice and TIGHT phone. They love it, and I get killer BBQ & Beer & Pool fun when I go visit every few months.
The Wife's phone has been having issues, so it's time for a new flash. And they're still on 4.1.1 ROM's.
I know the TMO & ATT S3's can share the same ROM. But I don't want to brick my ATT S3 with a Verizon S3 ROM flash, even if it's just for a couple hours while I set it up. Wondering if it's absolute trouble waiting to happen?
Its different. I had to root my friends vzw s3 and the whole process is different, and I'm sure the partitions are different.

They are already rooted (TWRP). But that's a good point about the partitioning.
Definitely not going to do something unless someone else has already leapt from this bridge before me....
Nope. I wouldn't try it either.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Don't do it. You will brick their phones. The system files are very different. with different hardware as well. The antenna mainly. As well as a special dialer app and files to work on the out dated cdma network

It might work, you wouldnt have signal.... I wouldnt try it though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Bootloader is different. Kernel is different. The partitions may be even set up differently. Different radio bands, RILs and other items will cause it to brick.
Maybe it's the allergy meds I'm on, or maybe I just felt like testing the boundries.
Just flashed AOKP's Verizon 4.2.2 3/5/13 release on my D2ATT.
Phone still boots & works.
Well, data doesn't work (as you guys said it wouldn't). But WiFi does work.
Rebooted and installed gapps. Set up a bunch of settings. So far, so good. Though Play Store does crash. Can't get past that so far.
EDIT:
I just flashed the Verizon version of Slim Bean 4.2.2.
It had an option for me to not only add an APN, but also to select GSM. The AOKP did not.
After setting up these two things, data is working fine. Made a phone call too.
Playstore working also.
Why is the LTE version of our phone merged with our thread? The few ROMS it provides confuses me into thinking I can use them for the original S3. Can we not divide them and give it it's own thread?
The roms are interchangeable. Just like the T999V that's been part of this forum since the beginning.
I don't see what there is to be confused about though. If you're not sure about it, don't flash it! Or ask.
I have the original T999. But I'm running the T999L rom. Several T999L users are using T999 roms. If you gave it its own forum, everyone would just wind up here anyway. Theres just no reason for it that I can see.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
I am using CM10.1 Nightly for T999 (d2tmo) on my T999L, works just fine.
I have read your threads about the ROMS for that phone and yes I'm impressed but even you said inside the thread that flashing the T999L will provide a few bugs if it's not the LTE provided device. That's the only reason I made a statement about dividing them as to avoid problems. I know you can flash ROMS that are not particularly for your device but all devices are different.
Your OP said you were confused into thinking that you could flash the lte roms onto your S3. As I said at the top of the T999L thread, you can.
The Root Explorer "bug" was a simple scripting error on my part (which will be fixed soon), the others are not rom related as they are that way out of the box (and one of those was only reported by one user). And even so, I wouldnt really say they are truly bugs as they do not in any way affect the functionality or experience.
One or two extremely minor glitches do not warrant another separate forum. If this were the case, you would literally see a dozen or more S3 forums! (US Cellular, Straight Talk, mobilicity, wind, videotron, etc, etc, etc.) And several of them would be T-Mobile S3 forums. THAT would make things waaaaayyyy more confusing and you would probably see a whole lot more of the bricked device threads.
Also, for the most part, the T999, T999L, and T999V are identical. Its mostly just the radios that are different (yes, i know there are other minor differences, but for the most part, they are the same)
In the end, the roms and kernels are interchangeable so that should be enough. And if you are still confused or worried about it, just don't flash it.
Again, even if a change were warranted, everyone would still wind up here anyway.
I hope that helps to clear it up a bit better for you.

I have a SGH-T999L, with a SGH-T999 AOSP ROM on it. Everything works except the camera (I get a "Can't connect to camera" error). The major difference I've encountered so far is I can't Odin to any stock SGH-T999 firmware (which seriously confused me when Odin kept failing with an aboot.mbn error though I thought I had the firmware for the right device).
Be glad it didn't work. You might have bricked your device doing that!
As for the camera, its an issue for the T999L in some aokp roms, but I don't think all of them.

Camera works fine on CM10.1 nightly since (at least) 6/22/13, even the HDR and Panorama functions. Try updating the ROM.

Yeah, after I realize I tried flashing the wrong firmware, I felt very lucky... Fortunately I had read somewhere (if I remember correctly) that one possible cause of an aboot.mbn Odin error is that the device model in the bootloader in the image being flashed doesn't match with the model number in the device. (Hope this helps any other SGH-T999L owners!)

Thanks! I saw your update in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308829&page=3 thread (as well as in the CM forum). Bottom line is that cm-10.1-20130703-NIGHTLY-d2tmo is working for me now, including camera, as you said!!! I actually had some initial trouble flashing using CWM which kept abort with a status 7 error, even after removing the asserts in the updater script. CM10.1 nightly ultimately flashed without updater script modification using TWRP.
Cool, glad to hear that you got it working. I prefer TWRP over CWM, but it is just choice, both work fine.
