Hey folks I found this update to 4.1.2 on a site, it says that it can be done with a network unlocked s3. I'm using a t999 right now, will this brick the phone if I flash through odin? I unlocked my phone through the service choose I found on here a while back, here's the link:
http://androidadvices.com/xxellc-galaxy-s-3-jellybean-4-1-2-firmware/
Let me know if this is safe? Or you decide can compile it for us carriers? Thanks

Hi all. I've royally screwed up my wife's AT&T, American Samsung Galaxy S3. I need the factory ROM. I really need help with this one guys. I won't go into all the details of what I messed up, but suffice to say I know I can fix it if I can just find the factory ROM for this phone. I'll then use Odin to reflash, and all will be well. So can anyone help me out with a link to the factory, stock ROM for an ATT Galaxy S3?

Here u go try the at&t forum section. Just double check your phones model is correct before flashing any roms official or not. As some ppl have tried to flash wrong model version roms and bricked there phones.

I've never heard that. I always thought that if you have an American ATT Galaxy S3, then that's the only model you need to worry about. Are there sub-models or something? How do I determine what ROM goes with my model?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756332
Here this sticky from this thread will explain it.
Edit:- if you go into phones "settings" and "about device" under model number should verify which model your using.

Im new to this part of XDA, I just recently purchased a Galaxy S3 T999L.
Purchasing this phone, I had no idea there was a non LTE Model which leads me in a bit of confusion when looking for a custom Rom
Im no rookie when it comes to flashing. If you look Below in my sig you can see the devices I currently have and have flashed different roms many times in the past. My question is what ROMs will work with my T999L? Ive looked and to my confusion have seen more for the T999 than anything since its been around much longer.. I've been looking and the forum here is a bit fragmented and its hard to see which ROM will go to which device. Please forgive me for my ignorance, Im just trying to play catch up, and perhaps contribute in the future in some way.
Edit: Im more familiar with flashing Tablets than phones, I dont have much experience with flashing radios and other phone related stuff...Is there a Difference with T999 and T999L other than the Radio?
edit 2: No comments? I guess either i said the wrong thing, or I posted in the wrong forum..
Thank you in advance
The t-999 ROMs will work with your t-999l, except the 4.3 touchwiz ROMs for the moment. 4.3 aosp/cm/aokp is fine.. There's really not much difference between the two, except the t-999l was updated to support lte.. Do not flash a t-999 modem to your t-999l, it won't brick but it won't pick up service at all. I suggest looking at the t-999l and t-999n q&a thread for further info

I did just that.... And u didn't have to be rude about it..
Thanks for your input
Don't mean to hi-jack this thread but it kind of pertains the the question. I have the T999L as well. I've read Doc's informational thread about the T999L and T999N.
In terms of this part:
"ONLY flash T999L firmware to a T999L and T999N firmware to a T999N!!!!
If it does not match your model EXACTLY, it will almost certainly brick your device!!!"
I keep reading I can safely flash T999 roms, kernels, etc. But it's the firmware process that confuses me. Should I only stick to 4.1.2 roms (can I even flash Jamison's 4.1.1 rom for example), or can I flash a 4.3 TW rom in the future, assuming the leaked builds get LTE support when the official update comes out?
Thanks in advance.

If that's true then how come the T999L wasn't updated to 4.3 alongside the T999? The 4.1.2 software wasn't even the same. No multi-window, no Note 2 photo gallery, still rockin the old "My Files" app on the T999L 4.1.2 software.....At first I thought it was just the "LTE Radio" difference but I guess there's more to it seeing the differences in software.

Firmware refers to the files used in Odin, so for those, make sure you use the ones for your device only. You can flash any ROM, even 4.1.1 I believe.. And yes once there's a leaked 4.3 firmware for the t999l you should be able to just flash the modem and then flash a 4.3 tw ROM, based on what we experienced with the t999

Thanks a lot for this. Been bugging me for a while now. I'll probably take the plunge soon and use "The Recovery Way." Rooted my first S3 using motochopper back in June or July when I first got it, but problems arose and exchanged it at Costco (just got it and WiFi wouldn't connect after a factory reset). Been scared since lol. Also scared me that I wouldn't receive official updates anymore as it said it was modified, but that doesn't bug me anymore reading all the complaints about the whole no turning back.
Thanks again!
I'm looking into flashing a custom ROM onto my T999L for the first time as well...have any of you guys taken the plunge yet, and have any feedback on specific ROMS? I think I will try with AOKP
I'm trying to help a friend with his N7105 and I am lost.
He has been rooted running custom roms for a long time so that he could get group messaging. Now that the Hangouts app is available for download I'm trying to get him back to stock unrooted and he can do his own thing from here out. In doing so I realized that 4.3 was released for his model. I have looked for FW files on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for the right file, but don't see anything for the US or AT&T. But, there are sites all over saying it was released in a roll-out back in December like Android Police.
I've read from the forums on sammobile that you can flash another countries firmware package, but then you'll only get OTAs from that country. Also, if the package you use is carrier specific you'll have to unlock to phone again. Is there no AT&T US package available? If not, what are my best options?
Any help?
Don't know if this helps or not

Will that work on a N7105? Looks promising, just not sure.

The US ATT version of the Note II is the SGH-I317, does your friend have an ATT branded phone or an imported N7105?. Sawdoctor's link will work if it is an I317. Flashing a rom from a different country won't SIM lock the phone, but will install the default apps from whatever phone company's build is used. I have an N7105, live in Belgium but use the German TMobile build on my phone, I had no issues going from CM11 back to 4.3 (I actually did this on Tuesday).

That's the hard part. The phone is branded as AT&T and the sticker under the battery says SGH-I317 but if you boot it into bootloader it says it's a N7105. He bought the phone used from a local classifieds site to use with AT&T, he broke his screen after a few months and sent it into Samsung to repair it. I'm not sure if he was returned the same phone he sent if or if they just sent out a phone a different phone. Not sure if it's a N7105 that was imported (or in this case, refurbed and sent to him).
Are there any stock kitkat rom for the Straight Talk S3? They don't want to update their phones because they don't found it necessary (The words they use). The phone is the SCH-S960L variant from Straight Talk. Baseband S960LWYAMD6.

Just tried and says is the latest firmware. So it seems it need to be cooked.
Or if somebody know where I can read about making custom firmwares will be apreciated. Damn Idiots at Straight Talk ask me why I want to upgrade to 4.4...

Well after so much search the firmware havent got released yet. So I decided to go with Cyanogenmod but the d2spr file is not fully compatible with the d2tfspr wish is the ID of this phone. As far I know this phone is the variant of the L710.
I am also very interested in an answer to this question. I have a Samsung Galaxy S III model SCH-S960L I purchased through Straight Talk. I was very disappointed to find this model has a built in SIM and could not be ported to another provider. I have also been extremely frustrated that I cannot update Android on this device. Despite what the idiots at Straight Talk say, there are many issues with Android 4.1.2 which comes on this device. I definitely want to find a way to upgrade to Android 4.4 if possible.
It is metro not sprint
Hi everyone, I have a Galaxy S III SGH I747M, originally with Koodo and was locked.
Now I unlocked the phone, because I live in Panama and needed for a Panamenan Sim card, have been working for a week and now refuse to work in 3g or LTE.
I have Installed many different Rom from CYanogen to Kitkat for testing, and atm Im with a 4.4.4. custom cyanogen, ka 11-20150301 Nightly d2lte.
I really cant understand the reason why the data doesnt work, I checked the APN and are the correct one.
I was wondering if someone have never had a similar problem with the same phone and Im opened to suggestions.
Thx a lot in advance.

Do you think that this is the problem and updating firmware it will fix it?
I honestly don't know if it will make a difference. I have no idea why it would suddenly stop working on 3g or LTE after a week of working.
