So I have a d2spr(sprint galaxy s3), but that is the only model of the s3 that currently isn't supported or a WIP. I was wondering if either the d2vzw, d2att, or d2tmo Roms will work on my device. Please only post if you really know, because I've already hard bricked my device once.

Would it be possible for me to get Ubuntu Touch 14.04 on my captivate glide I927?
It currently has a SlimBean rom with clockwork recovery which works fine but if I try to flash Ubuntu Touch it won't work.
I was wondering if it would be possible for me to do this, and how I would?
Someone has to prebuild an image for us specifically - Ubuntu Touch is device-specific, like those Android ROMs.
And there's no 14.04 yet - it's to be released April 2014.

Okay, thanks for filling me in on some more info
Do you know of any Ubuntu Touch roms, or anything like Ubuntu I can use on the captivate?
I just wanna mess around and I know using a captivate glide there aren't too many roms but I can't afford a better phone and I actually like this phone for now

Sorry, no. As you already said, Glide has very few ROMs, and all we have are either fully-working stock ROMs that got stuck at Android 4.0, or custom ROMs up to Android 4.3 but with major or minor flaws.
As for Ubuntu Touch - you wouldn't want to install it unless your phone is not for daily use. It's far from complete, although a "stable" release was already out for Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. I flashed a build on my Galaxy Nexus and hell, I literally returned to my original ROM in 5 minutes.

My Galaxy s3 was from WIND in Canada T999V. Which SHOULD make it a d2tmo. However when i try to install 4.4 nightlies of AOKP and Cyanogenmod, they tell me in CWM that my phone is actually a d2vzw. Which is it actually? Is it actually a d2vzw despite the fact that I got it from WIND?
Secondly,both AOKP and Cyanogenmod (even the stable 10.2) boot but the play store doesn't connect and nothing can fix it.
I've tried going into root edit mode and changing the "hosts" file as per another thread, but it wouldn't let me save the changes. I think it might have something to do with the version of Cyanogenmod I installed (maybe the radio got f'ed up?), but i'm not expert and would like to open it up to a forum of experts.
Thank you
There was a discussion a while back about the recovery that you installed in the beginning might not have been a d2tmo, but maybe a d2vzw
I have an AT&T Galaxy S3 with Android 4.4.2. I used Towelroot to root my phone and it worked really well. My only concern is about which ROMs to use. It looks like most ROMs for the S3 are for android 4.3 and not what I have. Since I used a root technique for an S4 does that mean I should use ROMs from the Galaxy S4 4.4.2?
Any information would be great. I do not want to brick my phone!
NO. You must stay within the roms for your device. Flashing anything else is highly likely to give you a brick.
You have already started out on the wrong foot; these forums are for the Sprint S3, not the AT&T variant. Look for your device forum and you can flash any rom listed, regardless of whether the rom is 4.3 or 4.4.2 based
I have found that all SCH-i535 (d2vzw) ROMs run on the SCH-S968C (Straight Talk) without issues. I was wondering if this applied to any other devices? I have a friend with a d2cri, and he wants to install a custom ROM, but we can't find anything really about that device. Can it run d2att ROMs? or d2vzw? Can my "now d2vzw" run d2att roms? or only CDMA ones?

The ROM has to be made for the phone you want to use. D2att phones can't boot d2vzw ROMs and vica versa. There's an exception though if the ROM developer makes the ROM compatible across multiple phones. ROMs made for the international version of the phone are in this category as well.
I am trying using a dualboot tool I just ran into
I don't know why every single d2vzw rom I've tried has worked on mine then... no exceptions? I am about to try dualbooting a d2lte rom or something, whichever I find first... (that isnt lineageOS)
If the phones are similar, then yes ROMs for one will work on the other IF the dev programmed it as such and from what you said looks to be the case since you booted d2vzw ROMs on a straight talk phone. I think straight talk is owned by Verizon anyway.
Ok. How to port to d2cri?

I think a d2att rom will work fine for you. You might have to edit the asserts to get TWRP to flash one, though.
As mentioned above, d2vzw roms have worked on d2att too, but you typically have to follow up by flashing d2gsm ril blobs if you want phone functions to work.
Just never ever flash anything for an i9300 on a d2 variant. The international version is an Exynos chipset and roms for it will wreck the Snapdragon phones.
Hello,
I am wondering if D2USC roms work on the D2XAR. I have a Galaxy S3 R530X which is the Generic US Cellular model. I am going to install this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-d2usc-unofficial-cyanogenmod13-marshmallow.3271628/ but I need to know if it will brick my entire S3 or only the cellular, as I don't care about the latter.
Please let me know soon.
Thanks
If the ROM isn't meant for your model, unfortunately, it most likely won't work.
