Hi everyone! Sorry if this is a noobish question or troubleshoot
I don't know what's going on but whenever I tried flashing awesome looking AT&T ROMs (JB 4.3 ROMs) onto my SGS3 T-999, I keep getting an error about some build prop thing then it says "Failed" I then try to Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, but it fails so I would restart my phone back into recovery then resort to flashing a T-Mobile ROM to get my phone up again. Not sure if I'm wrong or not, but I've read that I'm able to flash an AT&T ROM onto a T-Mobile phone because of something. Anywhere I looked, AT&T and T-Mobile SGS3 forum I've found that it's okay to flash one others' rom besides the modem.
Is it the version of TWRP? Anything other than that?
If anyone could help me troubleshoot this problem, I greatly appreciate all who does :good:
Here's a brief summary for all. SGS3 T-999, read it was okay to flash ROMs, used TWRP 2.6.3.0 to flash AT&T [JB 4.3] ROMs, and only ROMs failed while flashing, don't know why. Google'd for solutions, but I guess that didn't work and took a lot of time.

Use AT&T recovery or edit update script to remove d2att asserts. Recommend editing over AT&T recovery.

Just to make sure I undertand. Could I flash an AT&T TWRP recovery on my T-999 without any problems? So like, I got the d2tmo version on my phone, I could just put in the d2att one, right?
I also read in a ROM thread about changing the d2att asserts (maybe to d2tmo?), not removing, will it still work?

Correct on both. I don't recommend changing the recovery though. It will work, but I don't think it's a good idea to do it. Also, after flashing, be certain that you change the build.prop back to d2tmo. So things like Mobile ODIN don't brick your phone.

So edit the build.prop by removing the d2att asserts in it, flash ROM in recovery, then edit build.prop again by adding d2tmo to where I removed the d2att asserts? Or I might as well change all the d2att asserts in the build.prop to d2tmo then flash

No.
Edit the update-script file to remove (or replace) the asserts.
Edit build.prop to d2tmo
Flash the ROM.
You can edit the build.prop after the flash, but since you're already editing the zip archive... why do it twice.

Okay, here's a screenshot of an updater script from an AT&T ROM (left) and T-Mobile ROM (right).
Do I change the highlighted on the AT&T one to look like the T-Mobile one?
And for the build prop part, am I only changing the d2att to d2tmo?

I was a little confused of the build.prop part cos it had some other AT&T information in there that I didn't know if I should change to look like the T-Mobile's build.prop. I'll try it out and come back to let you know how it goes.

Edit: so I'm still getting errors ): I got like a "Status 7" error at some point, then a "Status 6" when I tried to flash the edited zip. Any other possible solutions? Maybe extract all the files, edit updater-script and build.prop then re-archive? No?

Hi, I've been trying to figure this out for a few hours, and I'm lost. Can someone please help me?
I have an SGH-T999V on Wind. I'm rooted. I flashed the latest rout66 firmware, VLDLL1, to get the most up-to-date bootloader so I could flash the recent CM10.1 nightlies.
I have no idea how, but my phone now thinks it's a d2can instead of a d2tmo. I can't flash any ROMs using recovery, but Odin works fine.
I've been trying to edit the build.prop, but the changes won't stick. I've tried flashing various stock ROMs with Odin, but the phone still thinks it's a d2can. I don't know how to install the most recent CWM for d2tmo (the phone thinks it's a d2can and won't let me). TWRP keeps giving me ro.build.product errors.
Can someone please tell me what to do? I've been flashing CM and other ROMs for months and never had any trouble, but this is way beyond my ability to fix.
*please ignore*

Go to the playstore and install "Rom Manager", then after its installed open it and click on the very first option
"recovery setup" then click on "install or update recovery" and you will see many of the S3 variants to choose from.
Select the right one for your phone and reboot into recovery and try flashing CM10.1 again.
There is a 50/50 chance that this will work.
Good luck!

Well, do you have the d2att or d2can s3? Try flashing back to rooted stock, factory reset, install recovery, then flash cm
It is because your recovery is saying you have a d2can recovery. Download Rom Manager from the market and flash the d2att recovery and then flashing it will not be an issue.
So I need CWM, not TWRP? Btw, I am sure that I got d2att cm.

I had the d2can recovery, therefore it though I was installing incompatible ROMs. (d2att cm10.1). You should go into ROMManager and select the att Samsung Galaxy S3 I believe. Also, try updating your bootloader! Happy flashing, fellow Cyanogen-fanatic! ^_^

I am running through the same exact issue you were running through except that I do have D2Att TWRP installed(2.6.0.0 and it is verified for my S3). I have wiped it clean and downloaded the correct version of "cm-10.1.0-d2att.zip"
Any suggestions?

Not until we know what the error is.
Most likely out of date bootloader. Simple search will set you straight.

Somehow my US-Att S3 had the Canadian boot loader (or a slightly corrupt, or an outdated bootloader<--most likely). So I found another guy with the same issue. I went to this thread and re-installed my bootloader through ODIN. Found newer versions of them from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41503727&postcount=13716
Hey guys im still new to this but one thing i did figure out is i am on 4.1.2 (i assume you guys are too) and the bootloader seems to not be compatible with CM 10.1 and i am in the progress of flashing back to 4.1.1 for the old bootloader in hope that it will work ill keep updated!
***EDIT*** I just flashed back to 4.1.1 and low and behold cm 10.1.2 worked like a charm so i guess Alias18 method would be easier and quicker not sure if theres anymore risks that way though. if anyone would like the 4.1.1 firmware with root injected let me know.
hi guys,
I have a galaxy s3, in Canada, and cannot flash the newest AOKP (aokp_d2att_ota-eng-task650_7.20.2013b), I downloaded the I747MVLDLK4_aio.tar.md5 file and flashed it with odin as per instructions, then did a format,cache wipe/dalvik wipe, then try and write the new ROM, and all i get is error 7! ive tried it a few times! All i can say is im sure glad i did a NAND backup before i tried.
i dont understand whats wrong? i wasnt sure if i did the bootloader file right, but i followed directions, i put the phone in write mode, opened odin, clicked PDA, chose the file, and it wrote fine.no errors or anything. is there something i maybe missed?
can someone help me out?
TIA,

Maybe check to see if you have the latest recovery installed

If you're in Canada chances are you're running the d2can recovery that the phone wants. You need to flash either the d2att recovery Odin from the twrp website or do a quick search for the latest tarp or cwm flashable zip files.
Status 7 can be
a) out of date bootloader
b) out of date recovery
or for Canadians
c) d2can recovery when the Roms are requiring d2att

Ok, thanks, I had an older version of AOKP running, which was released in December or so, and the recovery flashed was "RecoveryGalaxyS3USCanada.tar", I thought the new I747M4LDLK4 file was all i needed to flash this newer rom?
What exactly do i need? Im sorry for so many questions, but this just isnt making sense to me.... I managed to root the phone initially last year, and havn't done anything with it since.
so what is the newer I747M4LDLK4 file that i flashed with Odin for? Is the recovery initially flashed not the right one? if not, which one is needed, and how do i flash it? Id imagine with Odin, if so, do i just flash it the same as the I747M4LDLK4 file (PDA)?
im almost there, i just need a small push in the right direction....
Thanks for all your help so far, and please bare with me. I was an Apple jailbreaker for years, so this stuff is pretty foreign to me still.
---edit---
ok, so i went to twrp and found 2 recovery's, one is "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-d2att.tar" and one is "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-d2can.tar", this is where im confused, should i flash the "d2att", or the "d2can"? I mean, im in Canada, on MTS, and flashed the I747M4LDLK4, which was meant for Canada already....
also, can someone please clarify what the I747M4LDLK4 file is? it clearly states that canadian users MUST flash this before flashing the new AOKP, as it wont wont flash without it.... I did that, and still get Error7, now im looking at a new "recovery" as well, as i hope this will fix my error 7 issue. No where in the massive AOKP thread did it say that a different recovery would be needed as well, only the new I747M4LDLK4_aio.tar.md5 file!
so, anyways, if i flash a new recovery, (all i need to know is which one at this point), then i should be able to flash the new (AOKP) rom? i really dont wanna brick this thing, and i wish there wasnt so much confusion with the d2att/d2can files. it would seem completely logical that i would need the d2can file, but who knows, .... there was some sort of error on my phone when i tried to flash the ROM last night and d2att was in it somewhere......
im assuming the I747M4LDLK4_aio.tar.md5 is the bootloader, if so, i have the most recent one flashed now, so i must be getting the error because my recovery is out of date? i think im almost there, all i need is to know which recovery to flash, and i should be golden! the original recovery that is on the phone now from my first AOKP flash is "RecoverygalaxyS3USCanada.tar"

Okay, first thing first. You are reading WAY TOO MUCH into this, You need to slow down and do some reading on what is what for your phone.
There is no confusion about d2can and d2att in here. Here it is as simple as I can explain.
You live in Canada (as do I) our phones are SGH-I747M when you install a custom recovery (Clockworkmod or TWRP) The phone is registered as a Canadian model. The developers on this forum build ROMS for d2att only. They just happen to work on our phones as they are identical. To be able to flash these ROMS on our Canadian phones you have to flash the d2att recovery (Clockworkmod or TWRP)
So my suggestion was to make sure you have flashed the d2att recovery to your phone. You can get the Odin files from the websites or a quick search here would get you the flashable .zip files you would flash in recovery like a ROM (no wiping needed though)
Anything on THIS FORUM ONLY will not brick your device. Anything labelled under anything outside this forum ie. i9300 (International S3) or the other carriers will cause harm to your phone and you'll be a sad panda.
I747M4LDLK4 is your bootloader.
What Is A Bootloader?
In literal terms, bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. The concept of bootloaders is universal to virtually all Operating systems that inculcates operating systems on your PC, laptop, smartphones, and other such devices. Bootloaders basically package the instructions to boot operating system kernel and most of them also have their own debugging or modification environment. As the bootloader kicks off before any piece of software on your device, it makes it extremely processor specific and every motherboard has it’s own bootloader. This is one reason that all Android phones have different Custom ROMS developed due to high variance of processing hardware present on the device.

Click to collapse
If you were to flash a US bootloader on your phone you'll be a sad panda.
The newer ROMS are requiring an updated bootloader to work properly. The newest Canadian bootloader MF1 still won't work for most of these ROMS so don't update it that far.
I don't know what else to suggest.
There are 2 main reasons for status 7 (3 if you're on a Canadian carrier which you are)
@KorGuy123
Nice job on the explanations. Many Users (none of which are obviously in this section of course ) would see that he was running a version of Task's ROM from December and jumped all over him. Keep up the good work.
OP ~ KorGuy123's last post points out to what a Status 7 recovery error is. Most of the times Status 7's are mainly due to Recovery issues. Bootloader issues will usually throw a [getprop ro.bootloader] error instead of a Status 7 just for future reference.

Yes I'm on 4.4 bootloader. I flashed the tmobile 4.4 nb4 tar. via odin. Flashed CF auto root n9005 version via Odin, and then flashed the TWRP .tar that @bigbiff posted via odin as well. Then in TWRP flashed the latest Philz recovery zip that works with 4.4 bootloader (thats my preference, I like PhilZ.) Then just downloaded and installed Echoe. By the way I had no idea International 4.4 Roms were sooo much faster than ours...its quite noticeable. WIFI and everything works out of box. no need to flash any kernels or anything.

its not the recovery, it's the updater script included in some international roms, you have to modify the updater script so that it doesnt do wipe internal. follow these instructions.
1. Download ROM, open .zip with winRAR or 7zip.
2. Navigate to META-INF\com\google\android
3. Drag updater-script to desktop and open in Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org)
4. Delete the following... http://imgur.com/F7rdFCo
5. Save (make sure you save as the same format - just click save and not save as)
6. Drag back into same directory and overwrite the previous updater-script in the rom .zip

LITERALLY THAT MADE ME ROLL AROUND ON THE GROUND AND LAUGH MY ASS OFF.
That my friend was not made for the Canadian Variant. I and my friend MISCOM, made that fix when we started putting out Int. Roms for TMO and Canadian phones. If you go the the Stainless thread, you will see the original posting of that fix. That's why when you flash that fix it says, made by Miscom. All somebody did was change the name of the file and stick it up on other threads. I've in months only seen one person credit Miscom for the work we did. Not mad. Doesn't bother me, we made the fix and said here guys go grab it and put it on the N9005 page so everybody can fix this issue.

@dragonstalker I had no idea, i came across the thread and tried it and it worked for me. I am just a user and not trying to step on n e one bad side because i know how much work y'all developer put in. With that been said thanks @miscom and @dragonstalker for the WIFI-BT-NFC fix. I used the 4.3 version but had no idea the 4.4 version wasn't original, by who posted it or started the thread no way for me to know that

I wasn't blaming you. It's opensource, not like we wrote new code to do it. We just took the time to figure out how to fix make everything work.
Its funny because as you stated you had no way of knowing, people renaming it and posted it as their work do. This is probably the 5th name i've seen for this. It doesn't make me mad. Actually it makes me smile that something that was put out is still being used.

Did you do anything special to flash SweetRom? I am getting stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen (Set warranty Bit: kernel)
I get stuck on this screen with the stock kernel and also when I add a 4.4.2 kernel. Any ideas?

What kernels have you tried. Do Wootever's latest . That or Civz. That's what the guys are running on Int. Tmo roms right now that i know of working.

I tried civZ-SnapKat-Rev2.1-sm_n900t-4.4.2.zip
I will look for Wootever's now. Is it posted on international forum or on the t-mobile?
Thanks
Hey every one!
Flashed my first ROM and it is awesome! The Peoples Rom. Now I would like to try Carbon. I use a US Sprint S3, and I don't see my model #, Sph-L710 on the downloads lists. Do they uses another model number which is also compatible?
Also, could you please advise me on how I can find out what boot loader i Have,? Other ROMs state you need a specific boot loader and i Have no idea what mines is.
Thanks so much!
D2LTE is the unified one for all LTE models
You can find your Bootloader it by looking at Settings/About Phone... Your Bootloader should match what the Baseband says.
Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me!
It looks like my Boot loader is MK3, So i guess Carbon ROM is MK5, and its a no go?

AOSP ROMs like Carbon do not go by the Bootloader, MK3 should work just fine, but if you and upgrade, ND8 is the latest.

Thanks! I just downloaded the nightly, copied it to my phone, but when i used my boot recovery to install from Zip its said something like, msum mismatch and did not install the zip...
The nighlty file, is less than 200 mbs. Was that the right file?
Thanks again
It means you got a bad download
