Hey guy
I was just wondering if people are having issues with running games such as The Simpsons: Tapped Out, and other apps like Vine while running the latest nightly builds for the S3 i747? I had an S2 that was running CM10.1 and none of those apps worked.
Secondly, I recently bricked my old S2 while flashing something on it so I'm a bit wary of doing it on my S3 so I just want to clarify some things.
1) After I root the phone, I can just download ROM Manager and use that to install CWM, correct?
2) Then all I do is download the latest CM10.1 nightly build w/ gApps and flash both of them through CWM? Can I backup the stock Samsung ROM that I have on it now and restore it if I ever need it?
3) Which CWM file do I download exactly? I have a Telus SGH-I747M, and there are no downloads listed for that carrier. Do I just choose the AT&T version (Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T))? Why are there different versions for Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, US Cellular, etc? What are the differences and what do I choose for a Canadian Telus S3?
4) I am on Bell in Canada...do I have to be careful about which baseband gets flashed? I heard Rogers and AT&T were different from reading the sticky at the top of this forum.
Thanks,
Elliott

I can not really help for games... because I do not use any games on my device.
1) yes
2) Yes for the installation and yes for the backup. Do a backup in CWM before installing everything. If you need to go back, the backup will be useful. But don't worry if you don't have it, stock rom files are still available elsewhere... but it's easier to work with a backup.
3) except for modems and bootloader file, always download for the d2att device (Galaxy SIII for AT&T). Even for the recovery. I'm using TWRP for the recovery... and they have a version for the d2can (what you have)... but this recovery does not work with most d2att roms. Go with d2att dans you will be fine.
4)see my previous message... and if you upgraded to the latest Samsung ROM available (android 4.1.2), you already have the latest baseband and bootloader... but if you want a more recent bootloader and/or modem, check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
Again, do not install a modem/bootloader for an AT&T device... it won't work... make sure you take one for the I747M.
with CM, or most custom rom, it does not include a baseband (modem) or bootloader... so you are fine flashing them even if they are made for the d2att. I747 and I747M are using the same hardware and software except for the modem and boodloader
Thanks for the help.
As for rooting, I noticed that using CF-Root, there are two possible download files:
SGH-I747: CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747.zip
SGH-I747M: CF-Auto-Root-d2can-d2vl-sghi747m.zip
I'm guessing in this case it is RIGHT to choose the d2can version?
Anyone else have any response to this/regarding my games question?

yes chose the d2can version.
I do not remember exactly what I did to first root my device... it was a long time ago.
I remember that I used mobile odin to flash a new rom...
Thanks. What about this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoEVDgjTTdg
Is a Telus SGS3 supported by that method?
And one of my friends who has done the same thing installing CM10.1 on his SGS3 told me that I need to modify the build prop after installing to say d2can instead of dtatt, is that still true now? I don't know how long ago he did it.

Hi,
I have a Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted as per the thread instructions, and a copy of CWN 5.5.0.4 (All Variants) installed as well. I want to start trying out the JB Roms (Namely, the JellyBro one available for the phone) and I read in the thread that I needed the latest version of CWM Installed. I'm not sure which one will work if I flashed it to my phone correctly, so I need to know which one I can flash for my phone. Can I get it rom the CWM site (Says AT&T S3 is up to 6.0.1.2) but is the AT&T version the one I need for sure? I also tried via ROM Manager, it doesn't list my model phone for some reason.
Thanks in advance.

I used something like 5.8 and then tried TWRP. I only use TWRP, now. I got the info from TonyStark's att directory thread or maybe the ATT Ultimatum rom thread. Either will work. I've got an ATT but everything I've read says the Bell and ATT model are the same.

Thanks for the help. I used CWM 6.0.1.2 for ATT and it flashed perfectly! Now, i'm just trying to choose what ROM to go with, and if I have to install a KERNEL for it or not.
Thanks again.
I want to flash back to stock rom 4.1(cant recall if 4.1.1 is the newest one or not) in a similar manner to how I flash to custom roms such as:
MAKE A NANDROID
Boot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache
Flash ROM
Reboot
I'm currently on PA ROM stable. So here are my questions
1) Can I flash like this instead of going through ODIN and losing root etc
2) Can I keep my root and flashing this like a custom rom, but in actuality a stock rom
3) If this is possible can ATT stock rom work on Roger's i747m, i suspect it would as long as i dont touch the modem. Not sure if there will be LTE issues.
I couldnt find anything on XDA or google, it seems that all stock revert it to original setting and no root.
Thanks

Well i must hang my head in shame for not being able to find this.
This is a good way of flashing a "custom" stock rom without odin and keeping root.
Have you heard of any issues (LTE or any other) with ATT stock on Canadian i747m?

It's just that I noticed this part of the forum referred to AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus, I wondered if they would be interchangeable.
A lot of the ROMs out there like CM10 and AOKP support ATT but can be ran on canadian i747m's, so thats why I was wondering if ATT stock can run ok on i747ms
EDIT: in beerdroid's link he did enter "**WARNING!** All information and attached links are for the I747 and I747M ONLY!"........so I'm going to assume that the ATT stock rom can run on i747m's without issue.

I think it would be for the most part, would just have to change the modem (I think?).
Either way, always safer to go with your carrier's.

Good find. I had forgotten about that one.
Typically, if you flash an att modem on a Canadian phone it will destroy the imei. I would think that the same would be true for Canadian modems on Att s3's.

Hello,
I have some questions regarding installing custom roms on a Koodo Galaxy S3 i747M currently running stock 4.1.2 rooted. I'd like to try a custom ROM such as AOKP to get more out of my device, but I'd like to know a little bit more before doing so.
I heard backing up with titanium backup saves a lot of stuff, but if I don't like the rom/battery usage how can I go back to stock 4.1.2 rooted?
Also, how can I install and which version of AOKP should I try to install?
How can I reset the flash counter if i switch roms?
Will installing a custom rom wipe everything such as my music (external sd card) my games, app data, roms, videos etc?
Thanks for taking the time to help me, I've been searching for 3 days now, but I'm always finding either outdated informations of informations about different galaxy s3 models or informations about different carriers. I just want to take no chances since this cellphone is important for me.

First of all if you rooted already probably switched... for resetting counter you need triangle away app.
Second for installing custom rom and for backup/restore roms (including your stock rom) you need to install CWM or TWRP.
Third as long as you install CWM(or TWRP) make nandroid backup!
Fourth all operations using CWM (or TWRP) is not device specific.
Fifth flashing roms does not increment counter.

I used a method which does not trigger the flash counter, so flashing roms won't trigger it? How can I install CWM or TWRP? And how can i just take all my data from stock 4.1.2 to AOKP? Sorry for all these questions I'm just not sure .

Most references to initial installs of CWM or TWRP I have seen involve using either Odin or Heimdall to install the custom recovery. When I have done this it was with the installation of a kernel that included the recovery. Subsequent upgrades to the recovery are often done from a flashable zip within the custom recovery. You can find the downloads for the recoveries in the forums.
You can use Titanium Backup to save user apps, ones you installed, and their data. This will make reinstallation on the new ROM much faster than downloading the apps again. It is also possible to backup system apps and their data. Everything I have read says it is a bad idea to restore the system apps to a new ROM. Restoring the data from system apps from your old ROM to the new one may be a hit or miss thing. At one time you needed to backup SMS/MMS data and contacts with something other than TiBu. I'm not sure if it will do the job on it's own now. It wouldn't hurt to backup the info with more than one method.
How can I install it using Odin? I can never find info about the i747m and is it carrier specific version? Like Koodo I have?

If the it you are wanting install is AOKP, I just cruised over to the AOKP thread in the original development forum for the AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III and learned that they provide the ROM as .zip files. Such a file would be installed/flashed from a custom recovery. Links to download the .zip is in the initial post as are their limited instructions. Most ROMs will have similar links and instructions in the first post, if not it seems they are in one of the first three posts.
If you are referring to a custom recovery; decide which you want to install, CWM or TWRP. I have seen references to installing a custom recovery using the PDA slot of Odin. I can not state that I have done this, I only have Linux and have been using Heimdall for the past year. The custom recoveries I installed using Odin were several years ago and were injected in the kernel I installed. My Captivate has a custom recovery that came with the kernel, my SGS3 is still on stock recovery. All I have seen says that you can use same recoveries on the i747M that are used on the i747 for AT&T. The AOKP FAQ page has links to the ClockworkMod page, which links to downloads for their recovery.

I have never seen a differentiation between bootloaders recoveries for the i747 and i747M in the various ROM threads I have read in the SGS3 forums. The biggest difference between the devices will be bootloaders and modems. Use caution if you are updating/changing these.
It may be best for you to verify what I have told you in the ROM thread, if you are able to post there. I have seen how some have posted to the development forums with low post counts so maybe you can. If not on the post thread, possibly raise the question on the AOKP site. (I don't have a lot or experience modding my devices, presume to have all of the answers, nor to correctly recall all that I have read.)

You will most likely trip the flash counter when you install the custom recovery, it may matter to you. If it does you can use the Triangle Away tool to reset. [Howto] Install a Recovery discusses manually, using either adb or terminal emulator, installing a recovery and links to other threads with automated installations. The most recent CWM for the SGS3 is 6.0.4.7 you can get it from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager Using the manual method you can install recovery without using Odin or Heimdall.
Since you are rooted, GooManager would work for you. A number of people with Canadian versions of the SGS3 have reported that they used GooManager to flash the d2att version of CWM with complete success.
To install with Odin or Heimdall you will need a version of the recovery packaged as a .tar.md5 or .tar. Be sure to get the most recent version of CWM. It can be found with a search of the forums. There are tutorials available about using Odin, in short put the .tar.md5 into the PDA slot. Bear in mind that I don't use Odin, read about it for before using. Caveat, some older ROMs may require an older version of the recovery.
(I edited my previous post to correct a misstatement on my part, I changed bootloader to recovery)
I used the Terminal Emulator method this thread showed and it worked without problems, thanks a lot!

You would have to check the requirements of the ROM you select for flashing.
There are two 4.3 bootloaders discussed in the ROM threads. Either will work with ROMs requiring a 4.3 bootloader. If the ROM you choose requires a 4.3 bootloader you can still go back to 4.1.2 IF YOU CHOOSE WISELY.
The MJ2 bootloader is from the leaked version of the 4.3 update. It will not prevent you from going back to 4.1.2. It does not have Knox.
The MJB bootloader is from the official 4.3 release. It will prevent you from going back to 4.1.2. It does have Knox.
(Both of these are for the AT&T 1747, Canadian variants use different bootloaders. Particulars for those devices are unfamiliar to me.)

Ok, how can I find out the bootloader version from the rom? I found multiple ones for instance here and here. How do I know if they need updated bootloader? And are these roms version-specific unlike CWM which was device-specific?

I found references to the updated MJB bootloader in the AOKP thread to which you linked. A search and close reading of that thread may tell you if it can also use the MJ2 bootloader. Likewise, you could check the AOKP faq linked to in the ROM thread, also, be sure and check the faq comments.
If a ROM is 4.3 or 4.4.x based it will probably require either the MJ2 or MJB bootloader. If it is 4.2.x or earlier you should be able to use the 4.1.1 (LK3) or 4.1.2 (MG2) bootloaders. It would be best to read and ask questions in the thread of the ROM you intend to install. Don't forget that current requirements of nightlies may vary from those of milestones from a couple of months ago.
---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------
Looking back at some of the stuff you have posted I see that you are on a Canadian device.
The MJ2 and MJB bootloaders probably don't apply to you. You should currently have a different one on your device, updates will not be to MJ2 or MJB. Some of the Canadian bootloaders don't prevent you from going back to earlier stock ROMs. I don't know if all of them are this way. Meaning I recall seeing that the MK5 bootloader for the Rogers (?) will allow people to go back to 4.1.2 ROMs. Other Canadian bootloaders may or may not let you go back.

This thread may help [Canada][Bell/Telus/Rogers/etc] i747m Android 4.3 Jelly Bean available + root method
I have a Canadian Telus provided GalaxyIII SGH-I747M, it is rooted, twrp recovery installed and I am confused when it comes looking for compatible roms. I get conflicting information everywhere but have narrowed it down to I can use ATT roms on my Telus phone, please confirm this. My question is, my twrp recovery downloaded the d2can build but ATT is d2att, do I need to change this in my recovery (if possible), or just leave it at d2can to install ATT roms. If my terminology is off I apologize (noob).
Thanks for your time.
Look at the bootloaders in the updater-script of the custom ROM you want to install. If you see your bootloader, you should be fine.
The latest version of TWRP for your phone can flash a ROM designed for the d2att.
I had problems with TWRP so I switched to the latest version of Philz Touch which can be flashed via Odin or from TWRP.
I am just now modding my SGH-I215M - as I have just rooted using CF-Auto root method. Now I am looking to install a recovery and a custom ROM. Before I do that, I wanted to make sure that the SGH-I317 Roms can be flashed on the M variant (Canadian).
Also, for installing a recovery - which version am I to use? the ATT or Canadian (t0ltecan) version? Goo manager said no files were found for my phone :S
You mean i317m right? I dont think there is a phone with the code i215m. In which case the Att ones will work fine. They have identical hardware

Thanks - Yes, that was a typo. Also, since I have updated OTA to 4.4.2, does that mean I have to downgrade my bootloader for ROM like DN3 V5?
I managed to get TWRP working on my phone, so now I should be able to wipe date in recovery and flash any ROM in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II Forums?
