So I noticed, in the i9505G Android development forum, that there are flashable Odin TARs for 4.2.2, and 4.3. I was really hoping there'd be a a TAR for the M919 that makes it indistinguishable from the i9505G. I'm currently running a 4.3 ROM, but it's not quite the same.
In all of the i9505G Odin threads, it says it won't work on an M919, but it doesn't say why. What exactly are we waiting for?
If I were to start a bounty, would it be worth my time, would other people contribute, and where would I do it?
Believe the partitions are different and a bootloader.

Same exact question being asked, one link has the reason as to WHY this wouldn't work. Yours is unique in the sense that you want to start a bounty, but other than that, all I did was look at page 1 and copy the threads, and then I typed "i9505g" into the magical search bar... There are more that can be found with a little bit more intensive searching, but you get the point.

I've already looked at all of those posts. All they say is you can't repartition. I did some more searching last night, and found that you can't because you need files signed by Samsung, and that program doesn't exist yet?
Still wondering where the best place to post a bounty would be. Couldn't find one of those.

Because that tar file will attempt to flash the radio and they are incompatible.

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.

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.

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.

Hello all.
I have updated to Jelly Bean on my device, it has caused for quite a bit of issues. I want to go back to my previous firmware, so I am looking for stock firmware I747UCLI5 (AT&T firmware) specifically. In the stock thread I didn't see it there and I don't have enough posts to reply. I tried searching around the forums, but if I missed it please point me to it.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

I have looked at that thread as indicated by my original post, I did look at samfirmware.com, it does not have that firmware. =( Which is why I was posting in case someone knew of a good and safe location for it. It's firmware that Samsung started flashing newer devices before JB was released that included some fixes including for battery life. It was working very very well for me.
*EDIT* Found it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965691
Hey guys. I'm wanting to flash back to stock for a bit, but I'm having trouble finding the file I'm looking for. I thought I had it saved, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Anyway, can someone direct me to where I can get the file for STOCK ROOTED JELLYBEAN for AT&T? I've looked all through the stickies, but I can't seem to find that thread that was posted around the time AT&T released the update to Jellybean (there was a pre-rooted stock jellybean file that you could just flash in recovery).
Can someone help me out? Thanks! :good:
you looked at the stickies, but did you search? anyway, here. should have what you need.

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.
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
