You can, I'm 90% sure of it.

This is the T-999V forum as well. Just do NOT flash modems for the T-999!

You can flash ROMs but not radio files or modem files (they're the same thing).

Go from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 How to??

Hey guys, just bought this phone off craigslist today to upgrade from my LG Revolution. I've used roms with the Revo so I'm not a total stranger. I'm wondering how to upgrade to 4.2.1, my phone doesn't seem to get the OTA update, I downloaded the zip to flash and after I flashed it in CWM it the version didn't change under my system info.
I have the verizon version. thanks!

The OTA isn't out for the Toro, the Verizon version. I think you need to do a little reading before you accidentally damage your new phone flashing something not intended for it.

Yea, I haven't started flashing any roms yet, just trying to figure out what I need to be doing/cant' do
whats the latest version thats out and how do I get it?

Latest for toro is 4.1.2. You can flash a rooted stock version or try to get the OTA notification to show up.

I havent seen it
I have 4.1.1 stock and if I click on update nothing happens.

the answer here is... there's no point.

Google has released the 4.2.1 binaries, so now every ROM baker and their brother can put out 4.2.1 ROMs; but. . . Verizon hasn't done it yet. Their latest official GNex ROM is 4.1.1 (so there's no point in looking for an OTA update).

Ah..so I technically should be able to flash those roms and be fine even though I'm on 4.1.1?

Port unofficial stock 4.2 rom

Is there any skilled developers that can port the pre-release 4.2 rom released by Samsung for the S3 I9300 so it can be flashed on to my Telus I747M S3.

You don't want to flash a international version of the firmware to your canadian S3.. That will brick it.
Also, if you searched a little, you'd know that we have 4.2.2 ROMs all over here. Please take a couple hours and go read the stickies.

Ok and when I bought my phone I did try flashing the other i9300 rom, but it only soft bricked the phone. I easily unbricked it by flashing the stock rom. It's just that I noticed that some developers ported some roms from sprint to AT&T. What I really wanted was multi-window. But thanks anyways.

Should've been clearer with your question. Either way, don't flash a I9300 ROM
As for multi-window, some ROMs offer that feature but you'll have to search for them as I don't use it myself. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Good luck!

Its easier to go to and from AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile because of the similar hardware. I'd you need a port its pretty simple.
Unfortunately the international ROM has different hardware (quad core CPU, 1gb ram) which makes it very difficult to port over to our ROMs. Most devs don't even bother.

Oh I see now, thanks for the info.

I am trying to understand that porting process as well. Could you not flash a bootloader and a kernel to make the i9300 rom launch on the i747? Sorry I was just wanting a touchwiz rom that was later than 4.1.1 for the i747. Sorry I am sure this is a ridiculous question but I just want to understand the portion of this that makes it so difficult. Thank you.

They've such different hardware that it would just be a pita to make it compatible.

[Q] cannot root galaxy s3 i747 4.3

Sir I updated my galaxy s3 i747 with leaked firmware 4.3 with no knox.
It has unrooted my phone.
When I try to root my phone again.
I cannot root it.
And im having a battery problem.
It drains very fast.

Which ROM did you flash? You have the s3 from AT&T?

I've never seen an official AT&T stock 4.3 ROM. I know AT&T released 4.3 as an OTA update but don't think they released a full ROM.

Aren't those are re-packaged ROMs rather than being a complete 4.3 ROM similar to Rogers/Bell/Telus ROMs? To install, you have to Odin back to a stock rom or TW-based ROM.

am sure there is an official firmware from at&t and its hidden in this threads or somewhere on the net plus i was on a 4.1.2 stock, i dont like leaks just the official cleaned out so i did not have any problems with bootloaders/updating etc....... did not bother to use odin just flashed with CMW and everything worked
edit: devs need the official firmware from AT&T to work on , without it they have nothing (assuming you already know that)

AT&T did not release an official Odin tar for 4.1.2 or 4.3 it would be great if they did but they haven't and don't have any plans to do so.
Even without the tar files I think our developers have done a great job.

Agreed. The devs worked directly from the OTA. They never had the official firmware, as they all will tell you. You're not going to find it here or anywhere on the net.

I understand the devs had to re-create the ROM. My point was that these aren't stock, but they are certainly good to have around

AT&T released official for 4.1.2 , dont know what happned with 4.3 but blame Samsung cuz after 4.1.1 S3's update, updates went down from there ........4.1.2 update was great, 4.3 being a WTF and no 4.2.2 .........but am optimistic that 4.4 is coming for S3's and never will CM/AOKP/PARANOID roms forsake the S3 it will have 5+ versions

So since you allege AT&T released official firmware for 4.1.2(some other way than OTA) obviously my search skills aren't what they should be. Can you provide a link to backup your allegations?
Whether or not we get updates has little to do with Samsung and more to do with the service provider, and it is the service provider whom determines if we get an official copy released.
My thought is that AT&T is attempting to discourage us from customizing our devices. Some people have no business customizing anything and that can cause them to attempt to return their device under warranty. When the owner was the cause of the device failure that costs the provider money...

Btw I want to apologize to the OP here is a link to some roms that are pre rooted they're very close to stock with only minor differences mostly in its capabilities and some are debloated. These will get you rooted for sure, remove knox and should do what you want. I like the one from loserskater. This link below works only on the AT&T SGH-I747.

You shouldn't have any problem... All Hardware is the same between both units and I have run Roms for AT&T and non-AT&T, CM, Slim, and stock (TW)... all Roms were compatible. Right now my SGH-I467M is showing as a GT-N5120, running 4.4.2 on CivZ Flexburst KK... Only difference may be the modem, which might be more region specific for CSC.
