So the title says it all, I have a T-Mobile gs3 that is unlocked running on Att. How do I go about flashing att Roms to this phone, I've read many places its possible and I've never been steered wrong by xda so help me out?

You really don't need to. Its the same thing. Just keep a tmo ROM on. It will still work. If anything flash a radio. I know on galaxy s 2 radios are compatible. Not sure about the s3 since the att version has lte.

Only reason I was asking is the different ROMs available and all

Just flash it like any other ROM through recovery

Is anyone else going on hold off on rooting, installing custom recoveries and roms because they lost their imei on the s3? I know I am.

Not because of that but I am waiting some time to root.

Planning on holding off a week or 2 just to get the full experience.
It makes installing a good rom, that much better!

I will be holding off as well. I'm kinda satisfied at the moment with what Samsung has provided. I don't like the bloat and I miss my root apps. But I think I'll be just fine for a month or so.

With the 2GB of ram is the bloatware still slowing the phone down.

Been waiting on my sd card from amazon that arrived today. I'm trying to hold off rooting until TWRP is ready.
I'm amazed I've lasted this long without rooting, but like others above I'm holding out until I can 'fully experience' the stock software Samsung tossed out there. I didn't want to drop 600+ on a new phone and not at least give the new stuff a try!

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I was under the impression that the only way you could get a bad imei is if the phone was lost or stollen.

Well back when the s3 originally came out we had a bunch of people randomly lose their imei. I would show up as just 0. And there was no efs folder to back up because it no longer contained imei.

My screen isn't working and I had rooted via framaroot however I recently unroofed with framaroot. I would flash stock however my phone is unusable as the screen doesn't work although I will be sending it In for warranty. I recall my download mode status as official with no flash counters. Will Samsung find that my phone was rooted even though I had unrooted and that my download status was all official?

OK so flashed stock. It turns out the screen is dead although the phone is on. I flashed stock and I gave it in.

They didn't when it was first released.
The ATT and Verison variants were updated about 2 months ago and that update locked the bootloader.
T Mobile never released that update. So the T Mobile version remains unlocked.
That's a big plus in my opinion, even if people are upset that the T Mobile version never got the updated with the apps2sd function. That was the update that locked the bootloader.
There is a new update coming to T Mobile sometime in the near future (probably) and it's unknown at this time if that update will lock the bootloader on teh T Mobile version as well.
Is there a root for the stock 4.3 firmware I've been searching around and seen root and another root which seems to be super easy but don't know if it's to work.
ALSO
Why does the note 2 group play not have the video option anyone else know about this
