I have an att s3 and was wondering if I can flash the tmo s3 stock ROM on it and everything work ok.. I need the wifi calling feature fire where I moved.. Thought flagging might be easier than dealing with craigslist trying to find a trade

You don't. Use CWM or TWRP to flash the rom.
Ok thank you

how to install rom when rooted the phone already
which kernel do you use if your on tmo? tmo or att?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Kernels are interchangeable.
To install rom on rooted phone, you first need a recovery. Easiest way is to download goo.im app to get twrp. Once thats done, download rom and install it in recovery

So im on stock rooted and lets say i get the update but im rooted do i need to unroot to proceed ??.. or i can do it whit root? Cant wait for some jellybean goodies

Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

Its pretty straight forward actually. There should be steps laid out in post 2 of the fw thread and I believe Theexel hasit in his thread stickied in this section.
If you have any problems let me know, but don't see a reason to retype it all again!

Along the same lines...I just got an s3 yesterday and rooted stock 4.0.4. Used OTA root keeper, downloaded the ota for JB and when I attempt to upstate it fails....I have stock recovery. No idea why it keeps failing. I would Odin the prerooted JB but my wife doesn't want to lose her settings she already set up. Any ideas?

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

So let's say I download the flash able version of the JB stock OTA, I can flash it through stock recovery or twrp or cwm, right?
Sorry, not new to flashing ROMs at all..but normally I flash custom ROMs and don't care about losing anything, but my wife likes the touchjizz...lol

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

I just flashed JB 4.1.2 and im having a hard time rooting it.Is there different steps for JB? I've searched and can only find steps for TWRP but i have CWM installed. any help? sorry for being noobie
What do you mean flashed 4.1.2 ? Did you flash a rom? If you did, it should already be rooted

If you Odin flashed it just Odin flash twrp 2.5.0.0 and apply root when asked

I've looked through all the posts for this phone and haven't had any luck. I'm trying to install the latest version of cyanogenmod 11 on my s2. But it says I need to update the radio. How would I go about doing this?

If you're coming from any rom that is based on JB 4.1.2 or higher then just flash one of the radios found here.
If coming from a rom that is based on ICS 4.0.4 or older then you need to update to stock JB 4.1.2 to get the proper radio files, use Odin and site like SamMobile to get the proper firmware rom or use Samsung Kies.
Once you have the proper radio also make sure you have KK4.4 compatible recovery - You must use TWRP 2.6.1.0 or CWM 6.0.3.7+ recovery or you will boot loop!
Note about just flashing newer radio without going to stock first, some tried this and ran in to lots of issues because those radio .zips don't have all the files needed for the radio's partition, if you were running a JB 4.2/CM 10.1 rom without issue you should be able to get away with just flashing radio.
Can I flash the 4.3 firmware with out oden? Usb port broken here...cant be fixed anymore due to mother board being damged...so looking to flash through recovery the 4.3 firmware....is there a way to do this?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Sort of. Mobile Odin will flash the firmware, but only certain parts. It can only flash system, kernel, cache, modem and recovery. So basically just a rom and modem. Your base firmware will remain the same.

Nope, or at least touchwiz ROMs won't.. Bootloader needs to be updated, which mobile Odin does not do..
