To Canadian owners of the I747 GS3, welcome to your new home! XDA has officially added your devices to this forum! As such, let's all work to make the moderators' and developers' jobs easier by doing the following:
Threads: Would all of you who have started threads in the previous forum that relate to Rogers, Bell, or Telus, please indicate in bold in the thread title that it should be moved here and specify which section you want it moved to.
Update - 07/30/2012: There are still a number of Rogers/Bell/Telus specific threads in the old section without any direction to move them. If you are the OP to any of these threads, please edit the titles to reflect which carrier and section they apply to so that they will be moved to the appropriate new section. Time is running out so please do this asap, as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803287
Development: Being added to this forum does not mean that anything has magically changed from the previous forum relating to compatibility of your device. If, for whatever reason, an AT&T mod was not safe to flash before, it is still not safe to flash! Continue to read the OP, search, and post in the thread, if you are unsure whether something is safe to install on your device. You alone are responsible for the health of your device, so please exercise that responsibility fully.
If there is anything else that you feel should be added to this thread, or you have any questions, please feel free to either send me a PM, or post in the thread below.
This change was definitely the right decision, as most of us are already spending the majority of our time on this thread, given the almost identical nature of our phones. Looking forward to working with our US GS3 colleagues in building the great community this has the potential to be!
Excellent, thank you!
OP updated, please update titles of threads from the old section you want moved asap.
So far I see no problems with AT&T mods and rogers. Some minor issues. But would be nice to have our own section

This is our section. Without our at&t friends, development would be a 10th of what it is now. As we pretty much have the same phone, this is the best structure for all i747 owners.

Anyone know where I can find the latest rogers modem? Or tell me what it is? I'm currently running MVLLE8

If you are on rogers, you are using the latest modem as there have not been any updates.

I think the only gripe I have about att roms is being unable to switch from lte to 3g to edge.
More often than not, I find myself surfing on edge.

From what I've been reading, you can do the update over Kies even if your phone doesn't notify you.

That is correct. I updated, no problems, through kies. I then re-rooted using the Samsung Rom toolbox to flash cwm through Odin, and superuser through cwm. Finally, set the trip counter back to zero with the triangle away app (you can get it through Google Play). The whole process was flawless.
Update upgrades us to the latest modem, LH1, way faster lte speeds. Also some other minor ui changes to the stock messaging app and browser.

What! So upgrading will lose root access?
What per se is Samsung Rom toolbox if you don't mind me asking, is that JRummy's Rom Toolbox you're referring to?
Sounds like a bit of a process, I was so proud of myself to finally tackle installing cwm via adb. Now that was all for nothing?! Dang...care to post a few more details and links for those who are still a little shy of turning their phone into a brick? Pretty please.

I'm coming from being a heavy htc user. What is the benefits of having these files. What can these files do that source code cannot?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
This is the bone stock file that. Ame loaded on the phone. These will fix most problems people run in to. They have the modem, system, bootloader, and cache.
So odin files is to Samsung as ruu is to htc? Any hope for multi task screen Or should I not count on it?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I believe so. These are exactly what came on the phone. So no multitasking yet.

Yup, just like an RUU. It won't really have anything to do with multiview, but with the files available, devs can get a little more creative and try new things without worrying about having no way to bring the phone back if they mess up. So that could potentially get people working on multiview.

No. This is in case you mess up your phone flashing or need to go back to stock for returns or warranty purposes.
Just to make sure, should I download this firmware or just leave it alone. I really don't wanna mess up this device lol Thanks but I'm new to this kinda stuff

If you download it, you only need it on your desktop along with a copy of ODIN. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, disregard.

Yes there is. Also, you should always be using the one from the carrier it came from when using stock.
I thought they have the same hardware, can you elaborate why it can't be done?

Mind if I ask why it matters? (not trying to be rude)
And the bootloaders and radio are different if I remember correctly. (A simple search would give you a better, more detailed answer)

I can speak from experience, if he's in Canada on the Stock ATT ROM, on the Telus Network, the Stock ROM could get very annoying.
For example:
When you open the contacts app it tries to sync to ATT for a good 1-3 minutes until it finally fails because it can't sync to ATT and only then can you see your contacts.

I don't think you understood is question correctly. He wants to know why he can't load the Telus stock ROM on his AT&T device.

No I understand the question, I was just letting you know a reason on "why it matters" and why he may want to have telus on his att variant.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
The difference is the modem which connects to the network, wifi, Bluetooth and carrier restrictions/bloatware. You should use the rom that corresponds to your device to avoid issues with connecting to your network and etc. I think someone mentioned it could brick your phone (flashing Telus rom onto att s3).

My HTC WFS has the model id PG76200. I've looked at a few of the PG76IMG.zip recovery files floating around and none seem to have the right modelid. I'm concerned that I might brick the phone if I apply the wrong one.
If you've managed to root such a phone I'd appreciate a pointer to the instructions for it.
Thanks,
Nick
I'll try and ask my friend that I sold the phone what model it was. I'll bet right back to you.

Understand.... Just merely pointing out that you told OP to search for model number of phone, which guessing is SAMSUNG-SGH-I317, based on signature.
Way cool the i317m is online. Should mean the i317 should be up sometime soon,

might be a long wait... but you never know. Last i317 AT&T firmware posted [on Sammobile site] was in Jan2013 which was the official MA4. Seems like every update since [i.e., MC3, MK6] have been appended "updates" to current firmware. IMO, one our our stellar developer's packages is your best option.
Thanks for the quick reply, yeah I guess sticking with the xda devs sweet roms is the way to go, and with so many tw roms out already there is always so much choice

Well since they didn't really have one for 4.3 you can get the 4.4.2 odin update but its a rom someone made with it
