I am currently running MOAR 9.01 and am interested in running a KK version of Android. I know just enough to be dangerous but not enough to be sure I'm not going to brick my phone. If I wipe my phone and do a clean install, am I correct in the fact that this will work? I have gotten very confused about all of the talk of KNOX bootloaders and such. Is there a Touchwiz based ROM out there that is similar to MOAR but running KK or am I just better off trying the stock rooted version?
Thanks for the help and sorry for the simple questions.

Thanks CNexus, I was wondering though, I have seen a lot of talk that you can flash a 4.4.2 ROM over the MD4 build to make switching back and forth easier. Is this true and if so are there downsides to doing it this way or is it just better to change the bootloader?

Not sure where you heard that, but you have to have the 4.4 bootloader to run any ND8 rom. After you flash the stock ND8 tar you can flash back and forth between any roms you'd like, regardless of what android version they are
Thanks for the info

Yes, u should be fine...
Im new to this part of XDA, I just recently purchased a Galaxy S3 T999L.
Purchasing this phone, I had no idea there was a non LTE Model which leads me in a bit of confusion when looking for a custom Rom
Im no rookie when it comes to flashing. If you look Below in my sig you can see the devices I currently have and have flashed different roms many times in the past. My question is what ROMs will work with my T999L? Ive looked and to my confusion have seen more for the T999 than anything since its been around much longer.. I've been looking and the forum here is a bit fragmented and its hard to see which ROM will go to which device. Please forgive me for my ignorance, Im just trying to play catch up, and perhaps contribute in the future in some way.
Edit: Im more familiar with flashing Tablets than phones, I dont have much experience with flashing radios and other phone related stuff...Is there a Difference with T999 and T999L other than the Radio?
edit 2: No comments? I guess either i said the wrong thing, or I posted in the wrong forum..
Thank you in advance
The t-999 ROMs will work with your t-999l, except the 4.3 touchwiz ROMs for the moment. 4.3 aosp/cm/aokp is fine.. There's really not much difference between the two, except the t-999l was updated to support lte.. Do not flash a t-999 modem to your t-999l, it won't brick but it won't pick up service at all. I suggest looking at the t-999l and t-999n q&a thread for further info

I did just that.... And u didn't have to be rude about it..
Thanks for your input
Don't mean to hi-jack this thread but it kind of pertains the the question. I have the T999L as well. I've read Doc's informational thread about the T999L and T999N.
In terms of this part:
"ONLY flash T999L firmware to a T999L and T999N firmware to a T999N!!!!
If it does not match your model EXACTLY, it will almost certainly brick your device!!!"
I keep reading I can safely flash T999 roms, kernels, etc. But it's the firmware process that confuses me. Should I only stick to 4.1.2 roms (can I even flash Jamison's 4.1.1 rom for example), or can I flash a 4.3 TW rom in the future, assuming the leaked builds get LTE support when the official update comes out?
Thanks in advance.

If that's true then how come the T999L wasn't updated to 4.3 alongside the T999? The 4.1.2 software wasn't even the same. No multi-window, no Note 2 photo gallery, still rockin the old "My Files" app on the T999L 4.1.2 software.....At first I thought it was just the "LTE Radio" difference but I guess there's more to it seeing the differences in software.

Firmware refers to the files used in Odin, so for those, make sure you use the ones for your device only. You can flash any ROM, even 4.1.1 I believe.. And yes once there's a leaked 4.3 firmware for the t999l you should be able to just flash the modem and then flash a 4.3 tw ROM, based on what we experienced with the t999

Thanks a lot for this. Been bugging me for a while now. I'll probably take the plunge soon and use "The Recovery Way." Rooted my first S3 using motochopper back in June or July when I first got it, but problems arose and exchanged it at Costco (just got it and WiFi wouldn't connect after a factory reset). Been scared since lol. Also scared me that I wouldn't receive official updates anymore as it said it was modified, but that doesn't bug me anymore reading all the complaints about the whole no turning back.
Thanks again!
I'm looking into flashing a custom ROM onto my T999L for the first time as well...have any of you guys taken the plunge yet, and have any feedback on specific ROMS? I think I will try with AOKP
i went from the stock 4.3 to the StockMOD ROM, but i dont like it, how do i go back to stock 4.3?

i actually was on stock before going to the StockMOD, which is a custom ROM, but now i dont know how to flash the stock 4.3 ROM. btw the custom im on is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504903.
Hello,
I am having many issues and bugs like copy and pasting not working, not being able to text pictures or post pictures to fb, with my Galaxy S3. It is running a custom "Stock mod" rom. I want to re-install everything back to completely STOCK and start fresh like the day i got it... however i cant seem to find a way to do this with 4.3. Can someone please guide me in the right direction to getting either an extremely stable samsung stock themed rom or just the official Samsung 4.3 or higher rom. I just want my phone to function normally again. So sick of bugs and glitches.
Below are the stats for my phone:
Custom bootloader: TWRP v2.6.3.1
Model: AT&T SGH-I747
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband: I747UCUEMJB
Kernel: 3.0.31-2024954
[email protected] #1

Build Number: JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB
SE for Android status: Enforcing SEPF_SAMSUNG-SGH-1747_4.3_0010
Thanks in advance for anyhelp you guys can provide. Ive been beating my head against the wall trying to find a normal rom. Thanks!
Cheers!

I'm trying to figure out the same thing so I'm going to bump this thread and see if anyone has answers.
AT&T never released 4.3 as a complete ROM, only as an update from a previous ROM so I'm not sure if you can return completely to stock 4.3.

That is as close to an Odin restore you can get. It is a stock rom stock recovery no root it is exactly how it was released to our phones.

Will knox interfere if i want to re-root? Also what would be the best way to root once installing this and going back to stock 4.3?

Thank you!! I've been trying to find out as much as i can but the info surrounding 4.3 is rather sparse...
Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere but i could not find it.
I have a T999. I moved out of TMO coverage and changed to straight talk using AT&T. Everything (call data) works great.
I am looking for a AT&T Kit Kat TW stock port if there is one out there. I looked in the Dev pages and didn't find any.
I can build it if I need to. but need to know, can I just take the stock AT&T rom and change the modem and flash with ODIN or with a custom recovery?
Right now I'm newest stock rooted. I used to do a lot, but it's been a while.
Never flash firmware from another device. Currently there is only likewise. TMS3KK will be out very soon. I've got an NE4 port in the works but just haven't been home much so haven't finished it.
You can flash AT&T roms, but unless properly ported you may have some issues, primarily with the network.
Thanks ... I figured all the radios would be broke. Didn't know if there was any other difference.
I can wait a bit ...
In the at&t section there's a 442 system dump. Its what I've been running. Flashes, runs fine on latest t999 radio
Here ya go. Just flash Ktoonz kernel after ROM.
