DONT WANT A BRICK? Check here

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.
Also wind mobile an Tmobile are interchangeable, just don't flash the modems.
ONLY FLASH THE ROMS IN THIS FORUM!

I second this, guys PLEASE don't risk it. It is not worth it. Right now I think most devs are working on their own ROMs, but we should have a patch soon to allow cross-compatibility.

think some peeps are confused by whats before tmo development. (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III) just my opinion but good idea on thread.

Mr Highway:
Could you start another thread for Windmobile Android Development?
In the past all Windmobile phones are just T-mobile phone rebadge.
In this case, it does not in terms of kernels....(and may be baseband)

I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

AMEN!! Some fool I know ALREADY called me with a bricked gs3! I'm gonna sit back and let the pros do their thing, and that's DEFINITELY the safest bet!

thanks for the reminder and jsut to make sure ....
i have rogers sgh-i747
i want to be in this AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III - xda-developers thread for everything correct ?
and not in the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 thread ?

I keep seeing posts about ROMs that can work on these variants of galaxy S3s. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the ROMs supposed to be specific to GSM or CDMA? When I flashed windows based roms on my touch pro II, that was one of the things to look out for. Is it possible to create a ROM for all carriers?

Yes and no.
With the use of aroma-installer, we could set it up to detect your phone type (well, not we....I don't know that much about it but I saw the thread discussing this) and aroma would be able to install the necessary files based on your phone.
As of now, for instance, mine works across all GSM carriers. clark44 is current working to get everything switched up so it also works for Sprint (mostly appears to be the apk files and XML files) that are specific to the phone. As of now, he has it booting and working fine except there is a large rush of FCs on initial bootup but then everything runs fine.

I wasn't even aware you could make a patch to allow cross-compatibility! XDA never fails to surprise

Just a thought, but maybe they could do it like the SlimROM on multiple devices. He has a common base ROM and another flashable for each device supported. It works out perfectly and multiple ROMs for multiple carriers.
I figure it will be easier than doing it for different devices since I read that all the US variants are essentially the same. Not sure but worth a look.

I use it for the Vibrant

Will there ever be any SGH-T999V development?
Does anyone think that someone with a SGH-T999V Wind Mobile variant will ever be able to root their phone so they can overclock the cpu, etc?

Why not? I am using a custom rom and overclocked to 1890 at the moment.
Just use the windows way to root. I knbow it works
I have not tried the toolkit.
If you are going to flash a custom rom just make sure it does not contain the boot, modem and amss file in the rom that you are flashing.

What about using i9300 themes and mods? Will this cause constant FCs or other issues?

I am curious of this too. I have the wind mobile galaxy s 3 and I was hoping to put cyanogenmod on it. Is this possible? Let me know, any help would be appreciated.

I'm more curious as to what exactly the differences are between the 2 variants (i.e. t999 vs t999v). What could possibly make them so different from each other that ROMs from tmobile wouldn't work on wind GS3?

What if you accidentally tried to flash i9300 rom and your phone is not turning on.
With the forums changed I accidentally flashed the wrong version rom on my phone. :crying:

Thanks for the link, unfortunately the phone will not go into download mode for odin, it won't even turn on.
After doing some research it looks like I have to fix it through jtag.
I think I could do it, but you need some expensive jtag box that connects to the computer(It's called the Riff Box), but it would be cheaper if I just sent my phone into here it costs $60. Not ideal, but not a complete disaster either. Unless there is some other way to JTAG I am out of options.

[Q] No/low signal

My gf just got the s3 for sprint. I have verizon. but she had a iphone and got good signal but now shes on the s3 she gets no signal at work. i updated the pri and profile but nothing helps. anyone know what i can do? thanks!

The Signal is dependent on many variables. Switching Carriers would be one of the those. It may that her previous Carrier had better coverage there. If she is Rooted, you could try a different Firmware / modem combo. If she is not, then the only thing you can do is Update PRL /Profile as you stated you alraedy did.

A signal booster helps tremendously! I had great coverage with my previous carrier but when I switched to Sprint I wouldn't get hardly a single bar, if any, in my condo. I installed a booster at home and problem solved!

It all depends on whether her device is Rooted or not ? If it is I would first check what the Baseband is currently. It will give an indication of what to do next. Also if her device is Rooted you may want to check out THIS thread.

its not rooted atm but will be when she lets me use it lol. thank you!

Your welcome. If it's not Rooted, and she will not let you yet. At least make sure it is on the latest OTA.

You may have 4g coming your way! My signal was completely abysmal. Now I have full 4g.

Make a Nand Backup. Flash a TW Rom. Turn on WiFi, and Update PRL / Profile. Check to see it worked. If that doesn't work. While still on a TW Rom go to the Dial Pad, and dial ##72786# .

Pretty much *all* of the roms in this forum are for the at&t variant, and almost all of them are 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. If yours is a SGH-i747, these roms will work on your phone, you just need to go into Settings->More/Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and write down your *working* APN settings to replace the APN settings that come with these roms.

If you can't find it it's because you didn't look properly or didn't go through the trouble of reading any of the search results...
If you were not able of finding a compatible ROM for your device even though you posted on the forum where many of them are, I would say you're not ready to flash custom ROMs on your device. You will most probably run into issues at some point and the ability of searching and finding solutions is a must when doing this type of thing... Don't expect people to help you much when the answer to your problems is right under your nose...

There are several 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 "stock" Touchwiz ROMs ported from T-Mobile, Verizon or our bordering countries (Canada/Mexico) that are for At&t in the development section. There is even a stock At&t 4.1.1 ROM there. There are even more "stock Android" 4.2.2 ROMs in the developer and original developer section.... Just browse and you'll find them.
If you don't know what you're doing, you may not want to flash one though?? If you do, MAKE SURE it's for your phone, I've hard bricked an S3 already flashing an incompatible ROM.

There is at least one post with a link to download the stock JB 4.1.2 update file, TC is either to dumb to find it, or is lazy and wants someone to post a link for them.

ATT 1337 w Wicked ROM, TK Kernal on TMO, Updates?

How will firmware updates be handled? I know if I was on att I should freeze the update files so I don't get their latest update, but do I have to do anything on tmo? I am guessing I won't get any OTA updates as I have a custom rom and kernal, and have an att phone on tmo, yes?

Thanks, I thought so. My phone is so freaking confused they couldn't update it if they tried. But boy am I loving it!

I know there was a guide in the AT&T forum to ensure you don't get the update.
Might want to search there just to be on the safe side.

Yes, that was the one. I have to believe that as long as I am no longer on ATT, they can't get at me, even if they tried. Boy do I hate ATT and so happy to leave them.

[Q] Sprint S4 Mini on Verizon?

Is there any way to flash an Verizon sch-i435 firmware to my unlocked Sprint sph-L520 S4 Mini, to use it on their network?
Please correct me if I'm taking the wrong approach to this. Simply installing SPH-L520 CyanogenMod wouldn't be enough to use it on Verizon, would it?
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I searched for a few hours before deciding to post my question.

I'm not sure if the firmware swap would help. CyanogenMod would allow way more options I'd think than TW by far. Maybe see if the Dev would help with Verizon parts. Try that and get back to us here if you try anything. Oh and beware of Knox if you try those others, no clue of what a mess that could turn out being.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm starting to doubt if this can be accomplished, but will post back here with my result.
