Hey guys,
I bought a rooted Galaxy S3. On the back of the phone I can read the following: SGH-I747 16GB
Afterwards I checked the information of the current firmware: Model: SGH-T999, Base Band Version: I747UCLH9 (Android Version 4.1.1)
Now I would like to update the firmware to Android 4.3 (ideally a german firmware).
But now I'm not sure, what firmware I have to use. I'm afraid, I'll crack the phone, if I install the wrong firmware.
Thanks a lot for your help :cyclops:
Please edit your post and delete the S/N number. Never disclose this or your IMEI.

If I were you, I would not update to a stock 4.3 ROM because the 4.3 ROM will include Knox. I also recommend backing up your imei and nv folder before flashing ROMs.
Is your phone unlocked? If not, you can try using the free unlock method to permanently unlock it.
Thanks for your good tip. Unfortunatelly it's the phone of my girlfriend.
That's why I would like not too much changes in design and functionality of the phone.
I'll surely backup the device before changing anything. The phone is already unlocked.
Is it possible, to install the rom I9300XXUGML2 on this phone?
No any I9300 roms could hard brick.
Thanks a lot. So I think, I would have to use the I747UCUEMJB for the phone.
If I install the stock rom, can I change the default language (incl. keyboard) to german (I'm afraid that it's not working because of Knox)?
And if it's not possible to change the default language, which firmware would you recommend, which looks exactly or nearly the same as the Original one?
The back of the phone indicates that it is an AT&T s3 (i747) but the firmware says it's a T-Mobile s3 (T-999).
Looks like there is a mismatch on the firmware.
That's the problem I have. I'm unsure which firmware I should take.
The guy I bought the phone from told me that he bought it in China. And I think he already bought it as a rooted phone.
We bought the phone and everything works fine 'til today. I know, never change a running system. But an update with all the new functions and bug fixes would be really great. And because it's my girlfriend's phone I don't like to change the firmware to one which looks differently than the actual one...
If it were me, I would just flash the stock AT&T.

Ok, so I'll install the firmware I747UCUEMJB
If so, will the phone still be rooted? I have to change the language to german after installation. And like I know it shouldn't be possible, if the phone isn't rooted anymore...

You can't just flash a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM in Odin because there is no such file. You would have to flash a completely stock AT&T ROM and then update to 4.3. I'm not sure that AT&T ROMs have German as one of the languages.
Well, technically it would still be rooted (at least that happened to me), but also dunno if it has German language

Thanks a lot. So the easiest possibility would be not to flash the stock at&t rom and update the rom, which is already on the phone.
Your phone is an sgh-i747 which is an AT&T s3 but the operating system is a T-999. If this is right, there is definitely a mismatch between the phone and operating system.
If you want the 4.3 ROM on your phone, install a custom recovery and flash firmware that's made for the d2att.
I googled I747UCLH9 and I found this: http://androidromupdate.com/tag/i747uclh9/
Where do you see T-999 in your phone?

Boot your phone into recovery mode. Do you have a custom recovery installed?

Hi,
I have flashed Jelly bean pre release version into my Samsung Galaxy s3 and it was loaded successfully. Before doing this I forgot to note my current version and build numbers.
Now I want to restore my S3 with factory stock ROM. I tried by downloading some ROMs but after instaling, it is showing the samsung startup logo and not going forward.
my question is how can I find the suitable ROM for my mobile?
Here are the mobile details:
Model: GT-I9300
FCC ID: A3LGTI9300A
Carrier : T Mobile
Country : UK

I recently bought a Note 2 ( i317M, Rogers, unlocked ) as a gift for my Dad. My dad speaks Chinese natively but the phone comes with only English, French and Korean. I wanted to flash CM10 / AOKP on it but I was not sure if they come with Chinese.
So I brought the phone to a local phone store and had them flash a ROM with Chinese on it. Everything seems to be working properly after but the Model Number became GT-N7105 with Baseband version I317MVLALJ2. So I'm guessing the guy at the store flashed a N7105 ROM on it? Is there any problem keeping it this way? If I flash a proper ROM back, would it change the model number back to i317M?
Thank you in advance!

From what I understand, if the phone is working properly, then you have a ROM that is designed for the i317M, but is "tagged'' as a N7105 ROM.
I have a Bell Note 2, and I'm using the new AT&T CM 10.1 ROM. It shows Model Number GT-N7105, but I know for sure the ROM was branched from that model at some point and adapted for the i317M.

Thank you for the prompt reply FligMupple! I was worried that having a ROM for a different model might 'break' the phone somehow, but if the model number is just a tag as you said I really shouldn't be worrying to much I guess.
Could you advice if the ATT CM10 ROM has Chinese? I want to have a stable ROM on it before giving it to my Dad.
Actually now when I connect the phone to my PC, it shows GT-N705 has connected....
Is it OK to flash kernels for the N7105 on i317m?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Kernel and ROM, yes. Modems, no.
Edit build.prop if you want it to show "SGH-I317M" (or "Potato 2" for that matter) again.

Hi,
I have three quick questions to ask. I have scoured this site but can not find definitive answers and so would be grateful if someone could help.
1/ What does build number 'jz054k' denote? I restored my N7100 to a stock UK BTU 4.1.2 rom from Sammobile and instead of the build N7100XXDMB2 showing, it now shows as 'jz054k.N7100XXDMB2'. When the handset was orignally stock, it showed as 'N7100XXDMB2' , without the 'jz054k' prefix. Does this prefix apply to all stock roms from Sammobile?
2/ Do the stock 4.1.2 images from Sammobile include a stock recovery, meaning you don't have to separately flash a stock recovery first?
3/ Why does the OTA update screen (Settings > About Phone > Software Update) change appearance depending on version of 4.1.2 installed? Do custom 4.1.2 roms change the appearance of this screen? Please see attached screenshots for the two sreens i've had displayed on my handset today. The first is from the stock 4.1.2 rom and includes the option to update over WIFI, the second only includes a 'check now' button.
Many thanks for any answers.
1) google doesn't name the firmware like xxdmb4 they name it like jz054k or something.
2) yes. No need to flash stock recovery.
3) yeah many custom roms do that. I don't think Sam mobile will upload a custom rom though.
Can you link to the file you flashed ?

Thanks for replying.
Yesterday, i had a fully stock N7100 running BTU N7100XXDMB2 4.1.2. I then installed the latest Philz Touch 4 recovery and the Android Revolution HD 12 rom. (I am now stock again though thanks to Sammobile).
I was not aware that the software update screen would differ between custom and stock roms (i realise that OTA only works on stock devices). I thought that this part of the Android settings just stayed the same. I would miss the option to disable the auto-check and wifi only options.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, i do know that which is why i have removed it.. for now.
It was just the software update screen differences which were confusing me as meant to be close to stock.
Thanks.
so i just want to ask a question before i start rooting my note 2.
mine is the international version. when i upgraded to 4.1.2 i used the default system updater from the settings menu.
here is the screen shot of the "about" on my phone

and here is the image of my *#1234#
img713.imageshack.us/img713/8866/screenshot2013051322144.png
so upon research i discovered that my stock rom is from somewhere in the middle east and that the baseband version of my phone is from poland.
do i have that right?
now the problem is, is that i am from the philippines. and i dont know if my stock rom will give me any bugs since my OS came from another country?so will it affect my rooting? or is it safer to reflash my countries stock rom then root it? and is it advisable to download the latest stock rom for the philippines 4.1.2 april?
i cant post pics cuz im new. sorry guys and add the http in front. thanks!
Hey buddy it doesn't matter which rom you flash it's safe to flash any country stock rom no issues you can go ahead and root it.

I need help in installing the factory Touchwiz ROM for my Galaxy SIII. I don't know where to get it and I don't know which one I need.
The reason is because CyanogenMod is not working correctly with my FreedomPop (Sprint) network. I can't update PRL or profile. The camera app doesn't work either, because it constantly crashes and I have to reboot the phone. Various other issues, but those stand out as priority. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Here's my phones specs:
Current CM version: 11-20150222-NIGHTLY-d2lte
SPH-L710
Android version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: L710VPUDND8

If you don't have a touchwiz backup, go to the Android development section and download a rom to flash. You can get either the stock or Wicked X roms there. They will let you update PRL and profile.
@ivpre Thanks for the response! Any suggestion which version to get? Would the latest one work? Reason I'm asking is I used to have a Verizon Galaxy SIII and once you took the update, it locked the bootloader. Is this something I should be concerned about?

One you upgrade to a firmware with Knox you can't revert back to one without it. Not a problem for most folks. I currently use ND8 bootloader with NDC modem. I hear NJ2 has a fair performance boost tho.

You are probably good since you were running CM. But to run the latest TouchWiz, you need to be on ND8 or NJ2. If not on either of those, read the stuff below.
MAKE UP A NANDROID BAKCUP OF YOUR CURRENT SET UP
To update to NJ2: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/d...10SPRDNJ2_SPR/
Flash a recovery via ODIN, it is the program you used in the above step: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2201860
There is also TWRP somewhere, but even though Philz isn't being developed, I haven' t had any issues with it. But if you want to recover your previous setup, it is probably best to use the same recovery as before.
The latest WickedX or Wicked S5 should work just fine. If you are unsure of your current firmware, I would just follow the directions above. Then you can flash a rom or root.
