I have a SGH-I467 (Not for resale version)
I don't care about any of the AT&T features (LTE or Data) I just want to root this tablet and install custom ROMs on it.
My question is:
Can I do any of this yet? If so, how?
Thanks!
I have the same device, can I safely use the N5100 ROMs, Kernels and add-ons ?, thanks

Same here,
Maybe XDA could start a new section just for the SGH-I467 ?
This might be a long shot and I don't advise anyone doing this unless you're comfortable possibly bricking your device, but maybe you could odin a wifi or international image to your AT&T Note and use their exploits to gain root.
update
Anyone able to suceed at root yet?
This is why I bought the international version and just pop my US SIM in. LTE is nice and everything but I prefer having phone functionality and H+. The At&t version is modified to remove the phone features and add the american LTE. With that in mind I wouldn't flash a international rom on it.
If you do flash an international rom make sure u remove the modem/radios and you will have to make sure the "parts line up". There are memory addresses for the kernel/radio/os etc. I'm not sure if they are in the same places. If they are not then you will brick your device if for instance u put the kernel where the bootloader is suppose to be. I wouldn't try anything unless your still covered by the money back warranty.
TLDR: Let one of the seasoned Root developers find an exploit. I'm sure they could if they have the time and the device.

Stock Unrooted OTA Odin Tar
This is the official, stock, right out of the box, Boost MD7. This will unroot your device, and take everything back to the way it was when you got it. Please thank the OP, Smith058, over at AF (link to OP at the bottom), since he was so gracious to let me post it here, and to let me use it to cook up something good for you folks More to come on that one! The only issue I’ve noticed on this build is there’s no boot up sound. But it flashed modem, stock recovery, put the device status back to “normal” and made the “custom” in Odin mode back to “official.” This should come in handy if you need to send it back for repair, or just want to start anew. The coming zip (once it’s uploaded) has working sound.

My phone is running a rooted version of the stock MG2 ROM. While it has the Boost startup splash "4G" screen, I don't think there ever was a sound component.
Also - If I recall correctly, some custom ROMs labelled as compatible with the Sprint Galaxy S3 will cause us to LOSE 4G SERVICE, because they do not have the Boost-specific APN settings in them, and changing APN settings on Jellybean ROMs is (apparently) not possible as it was on Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs. So beware, and make sure that any ROMs that you want to flash will not kill your 4G!

I think it was an issue with the Tar, because when I built the flashable zips, they not only had the Boost animation, but the sound component as well. And I have seen around that some Sprint ROMs will cause issues with 4g. I know that it is possible to get into change the "guts" of your phone if you have your MSL by with JB Touchwiz ROMs by dialing ##3282# from your phone's dialer. However, for some reason, with the zip I just built, it's not cooperating. I'm going to swap out secphone.apk later today, from another stock build, and see if that fixes the issue. But thanks for the heads up. That's what this thread is all about.

If you flashed the rooted one, chances are it won't let you update, but give it a try. Additionally, if you have custom recovery, which you had to in order to flash the zip, it most likely won't let you update it either. It's an Android Software update, not a firmware. I would try it, and I'm sure it will fail, but at least you won't get prompted anymore for software updates But yes, it is safe to try.

jdsingle76 is correct. It won't hurt anything, it just won't work. If you accept the update, your phone will reboot into recovery, process for a few seconds, and fail with an error. However in my experience, that will not stop the software update prompts from re-occurring. If I recall, the best way to stop them was to use something like Titanium Backup and freeze something having to do with 'OTACERTS'. It's been a while, so my info may be out-of-date on that front.
can someone please reupload the stock SPH-L710 odin tar file else where before I brick my phone accidentally, its not letting me use recovery.

Good to see ya bro. Thanks for throwing that up there. Just noticed the dropbox link was broken for too much traffic. I have the MG2 tar from Kies as well. This weekend if I get time I'll throw both of them in AFH and/or dev-host. Hope all's well, thanks for helping out!

What file from this op are you referring to? But to answer your question, yes, you can flash ant sprint file to the boost variant, and vice versa, you just might have to change apn, mmsc, stuff like that, to get mms to work.

Don't fret. .. If kitkat comes out there will definitely be a custom rom made with it that you will be able to flash. With root you will have many more options than you ever will with stock.
first of all i was lucky all I had to do was go back and use a root 66 image to recover using odin.
Now i know i will sound like a newb sorry please bear with me if you can.
From the start i was on 4.1.2 on SRx Mod i decided Hay i should encrypt my phone (bad idea i got stuck in a boot loop) so after searching for how to fix it i was told to use the unbrick then i wad told to use route 66 i choose route 66. I have since successfully flashed rooted 4.1.2 but i have a few questions.
First route 66 lets you choose which recovery you wish to use. now to install a recovery (my first root it came with CWM) Should i just download the app and install CWM with rom recovery or use Goo manager to install TWRP? or should i use odin to flash it? if i should flash it where should i get the correct files?
Second.
Say I would like to update to 4.3 and take advantage of roms again. What is the safest way to go about this. Depending on rls I have been able to update via recovery and a new rom and i have had to use odin. I believe (not sure) safest way to go from a major rls to another it should be done with odin. Like going from ICS to JB so should I use odin again to root to 4.3?
So to shorten my question
How do i install recovery on a freshly rooted (re rooted via route 66) Also i am currently runnning 4.12 to update to 4.3 do i need to use odin and a 4.3 image to be safe? or can i install a 4.3 rom and it will update.
In all now that my phone is working I am weary of just trying and want to do it the correct way and now i know trying to use encryption is dumb!
THANKS in ADVANCE i appreciate your help.
When it comes to Recoveries, choos if you want CWM or TWRP. Both are good. Based on that get either Rom Manager app for CWM or Goo Manager for TWRP. Let the app install the recovery for you.
If you want 4.3, then look for Stock Mod Rom in Android Development section. Flash that rom via CWM/TWRP. Make sure to follow the instructions in the Rom's thread. Particularly the part where it wants you to flash ATT insecure kernel. The Rom is Rooted. Do not flash 4.3 via Odin.
Thanks for the refresher
I have been away for a little while and i wanted to make sure. SO to get it straight
Right now I just got back from boot loop with route 66 via odin.
To go on i simply get CWM or TWRP with the respective program (rom manager or goo manager)
Then get the 4.3 rom from the rout66 thread and update to 4.3 via recovery.
If not which rom do i use.
Edit:
Ok now i think i understand your post you directed me to use a specific rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501303
So from base 4.1.2 i can update to any 4.3 rom i choose? I just want to make sure as most major releases have some issues at the beginning maybe everything is sorted and their is no problems,
One thing i want to ask is can i choose another rom as sometimes i like to switch to and from touchwiz
So i guess my question now is once i install a recovery program of my choice (i always used CWM so ill probably stick with that)
Can I install any rom no problem? as far as changing versions only go up to 4.3 dont go back down with a recovery flash?
SO AFAIK right now that everything is all good and i wont mess my phone up again when loading a rom.
Is their anything i SHOULD NOT do, Beyond common sense i know not to flash a rom for another phone ETC
I appreciate your help I haven't been following the development for a couple months So i am Rusty also its been a while since i had to start from scratch with odin and at that time we did not have the GREAT list of Official Images so I got a rooted rom that had CWM already installed. I want to get to how i was before when i was enjoying the work of the devs and loving it. being in stock reminds me of how much work the devs do YOU GUYS ARE GREAT (if any even read this thread)

Do not do the Red Striked part. Search for Stock Mod Rom by @saranhai
Thank you to be safe i will use the ROM you suggested although this is the only thing that worries me as i never have or really want to flash modems
YOU MUST FLASH THE T999UVUEMJ4 MODEM OR T999UVUEMJC MODEM FOR T-MOBILE GALAXY S III IN ORDER FOR DATA TO WORK; OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT HAVE DATA

I hope this is the ROM you are talking about and if so what do i do about the modem issue as I am coming from 4.1.2 IDK if i have the correct modem installed. All i have right now is Route 66 rooted 4.1.2 and CWM recovery I also created a Nandroid as soon as i got recovery so i can ave a pretty clean android to go back to if anything happens.
I am sorry i may be annoyed if i were you possibly so i hope you are hanging in there with me i really appreciate it once i do this ill be back in the game and wont need any more help. I just need to get this part sorted, THANK YOU
So other than the modem thing I think i got it, i just hope i dont have to mess with the modem IDK if I'm ready to try something that could hard brick my phone after just recovering it
Flashing the modem won't brick it. It's the exact same procedure as flashing the kernel, and the risk level is pretty much the same. As long as your device is the T999, you don't have anything to worry about. Just check the md5 on the download to make sure its not a corrupted/bad download. Even if you flash the T999L/T999V/I535 modem, it shouldn't brick. It just wouldn't get signal till you flash the correct one again. Many, many people have flashed the modems with no problems at all.

I really didnt think you would answer my post!
Anyway so even though the warning says i can brick it with a modem change really all that will happen is that i will just not get Data until i install the correct one got it.
And unless anyone posts otherwise The first 4.3 rom i should install is Stock Mod Rom by @saranhai and also flash the modem T999UVUEMJC via recovery?
I tried the modem map but i had no success with getting to to work, first it said the link was not supported and i needed to revert to GMaps Classic so i did but i got the same results. Random places all over the world (some in the sea) some said city and modem some were simply city's so i think its out of date so i suppose that the worst that can happen is that i get no data i suppose i can try the other modem listed on the roms page?
If someone knows (as their are two maybe its east west cost or something of the like i live in southern California south of la but furthest from the border of Mexico in San Diego so north San Diego county but anyone that knows the area may know of the massive military base i live south east of Camp Pendleton
(off topic but if a war comes to our shores i pray i am dead already or something divine as i live very close to a large Marine Training base and camp/base in General and right next to it (on the coast) is a dual Nuclear Reactor Power plant and one reactor has been malfunctioning and AFAIK its just being maintained to keep anything catastrophic from happening (which i believe IDK for sure was the reason why it is still running but not producing power)

Many people warn about that because on many devices it is true. just like a kernel or recovery though, if you flash the wrong thing to its partition, it can brick. I.e. If you flash a recovery to the modems partition.
A lot of times people bring habits from their old devices. In our case, while it is possible, it's highly unlikely you'd brick flashing the modem. We know it's not going to flash the wrong item/partition. Several people have tried flashing the I535, T999L, T999N modems and all that happened was they got no working signal. Flashed back to the correct modem and all was good again.
And unless anyone posts otherwise The first 4.3 rom i should install is Stock Mod Rom by @saranhai and also flash the modem T999UVUEMJC via recovery?

Well thank you guys both I appreciate you gave me the correct info fast Perseus71 and thank you for clarifying DocHoliday77 And an extra thank you for all the work you do for the S III community!
i was just about to do this althoug i downloaded the rom and the modem but now what about the "insecure Kernal" I dont want to mess my phone up again sorry for all the questions its just after you mess up your phone when yoyu come back to roms and its just like getting a traffic ticket for a little bit you drive like you just got a ticket REALLY SAFE with no nerve so sorry but thats my mindset i just messed up my phone and dont want to do it again (i just finished paying for it too so i donk want to break my just paid off 600 dollar car lol.
so yeah AFAIK the post sys all i need is the modem but do i need the kernal too as it may not be listed as it is know its needed at one point when updating versions?
THANKS AND SORRY this is probably the last thing i need as i was just about to flash but just got worried
If wifi doesnt turn on, then try the kernel. If everything boots and runs as you like, then its up to you.

So my dad bought a GS3 and it shows that it's a t999 model in the settings. It's on UVDMD5 has the UVDMD5 radio as well. I was going to odin flash to the new 4.3 root 66 but it threw out an error. I looked at the phone and in download mode it shows it's a i-747 so I'm super confused right now. I also have an s3 myself and when I remove the battery and check my phone it shows model: sgh-t999 and also shows t999 in download mode as well. On the new phone my dad purchased it shows model: GT-T999 where the battery goes. So yeah I'm pretty confused. I managed to flash the tmo twrp and flashed superuser zip and rooted it sucessfully but I wanted to update it to 4.3 but now I'm not even sure what firmware to flash
Looks like yet another frankenphone. Wish I knew where these things were coming from!
Its hard to tell you what to do, but if it currently had MD5 on there, you probably need to stick with T999 firmware. Well, maybe....
Install terminal emulator and enter this:
getprop ro.bootloader
This will tell you what the firmware is. You cant judge by the rom or baseband.
Anyway, almost every time ive seen these things, the recommendation is usually to see if you can return the device. Theres just too many questions and things that dont match up. If you plan on using it as is, and never care about updates and such, I guess it might be ok, but otherwise theres just too great a chance for future problems!
For starters, there's no such thing as a GT-T999. And If download mode says its an I747, id guess youre using the I747 base firmware/bootloader. However, your system and baseband are from the T999 firmware, so we can be pretty confident that flashing I747 firmware will not work. But you probably can only flash I747 firmware because thats what your bootloader appears to be! Very confusing, very messed up, I know! Its highly possible, judging by the GT-T999, that it might be a chinese knock-off.
It may or may not help, but install Phone Info - Samsung app. Then let me know what it tells you. I dont think theres going to be a lot we can do though, but ill be glad to take a look anyway.

Yes it was super confusing! It's so weird. I did the getprop ro.bootloader and I got I747UCALI5. I'm kinda scared to odin anything since I really have no idea what model I actually have so I just ended up flashing the latest PA rom & so far everything seems fine
Yup, its exactly as I expected! I747 bootloader/base firmware with T999 system and modem. These are not things that should work together and it also means there is no safe way to update your firmware. LI5 sounds like its really old btw. But tbh, I dont know if its even a real build number! I can say you will not be able to run TW kk roms and might not be able to run 4.3 ones as well. CM/aosp, im not sure about, but I know they were known to be really buggy on older firmware.
If it is an option, I strongly suggest seeing if you can get a refund. May I ask where it was bought from? I think whenever we run into these we need to start letting people know not to purchase from those sellers. For one, to protect folks from having this happen to them, but also to try and discourage this type of business practice (if you even want to call it that!). Its almost as bad as people who sell devices and then report them lost!

Just checked and LI5 is a real build, but it is old. 4.1.1

Just asked my dad & he said he bought it from a pawnshop which isn't surprising why there is so much confusion about the model lol. Would having an old bootloader cause problems? I was able to flash the latest PA beta but I haven't encountered any issues as of yet
I dont use non touchwiz roms, but I do remember they all started requiring certain bootloaders nrcsuse they were encountering too many bugs on older ones. I dont know any details though.
Id imagine youll encounter issues flashing any rom thst has the assert check. It checks to make sure you have a certain bootloader, and most here will be checking for T999 builds. Since yours has the I747 bootloader, it may cause trouble flashing certain roms.
That and you wont be able to easily or safely update the firmware...
Not sure theres much that could be done since it came from a pawn shop though.

Yeah this whole situation has been odd. I'll advise my dad to avoid pawnshops from now on lol. Whenever I was in download mode I noticed the flashcount had shown 3 and I ended up using triangle away to reset it when I was still on 4.1.2 for the moment. Before I rooted it or anything it already had supersu installed but I don't think the phone was actually rooted cause everytime I would open supersu it would tell me to update the binary and it would fail each time and any other root apps I installed were denied root. The phone still had stock recovery as well. I honestly thought it was a t-999 up until I was going to flash the nc2 update and it failed and that's when I realized hey this isn't really a t999. I ended up flashing twrp instead and flashed the supersu zip to get root. I flashed paranoid android afterwards and when I went to about phone i noticed everything changed from t-999 to I747 including the modem. It was weird. I ended up reflashing att twrp just to be safe, I flashed the latest modem from at&t, and I crossed my fingers & bravely flashed a zip that updated my bootloader to the latest one for the I747 and it actually worked which was a huge sigh of relief. I reflashed paranoid android afterwards and so far no issues. Now that I updated everything I might end up just flashing a touchwiz rom from the at&t forums. Thanks for your help though, I greatly appreciate it! :good:
I'm doing some testing and other stuff and I need the baseband and modem in a flaahable zip format for use with twrp should I screw up. Can anyone plz help? I have the g920p and ill be testing the g920t roms. Just came back to sprint this week for service hehehe...... so I'm looking to get some potential new ROMs for our devices either by port or whatever.
Sorry if this is not the place for these kinda questions but I'm an impatient bastard and I don't have time to scope the web for a proper placement for these questions, wth all respect. please and thanks for the help.
I've gotten the tmo roms to boot however...
However I need the baseband for our s6 to have service and,the like.....can someone, anyone get me a twrp or flashfire flashable baseband for OCF or OE2? I've looked and looked and can't find a thing. I've tested a couple tmo roms and yes They boot up and all is well, except no signal, no baseband or anything of that nature. In my past flaahing adventures, I know flashing a baseband will at times fix,the lack there of. Help me plz and thankyou.

Wouldn't this be a kernel or rom issue? Generally, custom roms don't touch the baseband, only carrier OTAs.
Its a modem/baseband issue. It says,unknown baseband and all that stuff and the other radio like stuff is gone also. I believe a,baseband being flashed would resolve this issue. Everything else works like a charm.

So you're flashing GSM ROMs...for a CDMA device...it's not a baseband issue...it's a ROM/kernel issue...

Well I'm flashing every kind of rom. I REALLY,would just like the damn base and/modem please. I'm flashing all roms and the baseband and imei is broken on GSM on the cdma only the baseband is broken. This request of mine shouldn't be a matter of interrogation....more a matter of helping someone out who would like yo experiment and possibly find a way to run any rom on our devices. Be its cdma or GSM more or less the g920f as its global the the g920v/I/k roms or whatever is cdma.
No no sir that isn't what I'm seeking.....I require the modem so I can experiment with other roms. I need the modem.bin or the modem. I need this desperately. I don't mean to be rude but this should be simple to acquire from a well known and well experienced dev or someone like a dev. Can you or someone please help?

Djvoleur, i too have a sprint s6 thats gsm unlocked and ive tried plenty of stock/rooted kernels for our device with tmobile, att, verizon, sprint s6 edge, and even international cooked roms . Most of them boot when using your kernel . Theyll work with vkernel or unikernel, but as he was saying, although he was rude, the baseband is always unknown. No signal, sometimes you wont even see a X for no signal. Do you have any ideas i could try ? Ive got plenty sprint s6 phones to try this on and not worried about a brick. I know the risks. I titanium backup restore my personal phone nearly 3 times a week to figure this out. Not enough people bounce ideas off one another in this forum
Have you tried a note 5 rom? I would assume the issues from a note Sprint note one wouldn't be the same as the connectivity settings would be the same. The issue would probably be more of a hardware/programming problem. At this point, I think it would be an easier port since our device isn't as similar to the international device as we once thought it could be.
Never tried note 5 rom . I dont think that'd work without a port of device drivers n such
