Help. I have Telus I747m question

I'm a noobe just learning the game of flashing roms. I have my phone rooted and a back up done and some rooted apps like tibu but that's all. I'm looking in this sectionbut most of what I see is for at&t. I read that at&t roms can be used on Telus, bell or Rogers. But then I read the opposite as well. I really don't want to brick my phone. Whats a great rom and kernel that will work for me? Good customization and battery performance. I also have cwm touch installed. Thanks

This is accurate for all third party ROMs; it's not true for the Odin-flashable stock images on account of the different modem firmware between AT&T and Canadian models.
As an example, my Telus device is running CyanogenMod 10.1 just fine...

So if I can install it through cwm its ok as long as I have the right model but if I have to flash it using odin I need to have a Telus rom?

Basically, yes.

Pretty much any d2att rom you find should work. As long as you can get to recovery you will be okay. Have fun, you're on your way to becoming a flashaholic!

Bell Jellybean on Rogers s3

hey everyone,
recently got a s3 that was with Rogers in Canada
i unlocked it and am using a bell sim card
was wondering if i can flash with odin and install bell's jelly bean,
just to get rid of the Rogers software.
thanks

Sure you can!
The ROM's exactly the same for both carriers in each and every aspect. It's only the bloat that differs.

Does bell actually have less bloat than rogers?

the radio would be different as well, better suited for your carrier

I have a AT&T i747, but I wondered if flashing the i747M ROM would brick my device or if I'd lose any functionality.
I just want to reduce the bloatware and get better battery life.

^^^Can I just use ODIN if I'm not rooted? Is it mandatory that I wipe cache and do a factory wipe? I've spent so many weeks setting up the device just the way that I like it now. How many carriers are there for the i747M? I just want to make sure that I can easily recover from a soft-brick if necessary.

well go to the development section, visit the stickies there are some Odin stock ROM's. I would wipe, I know it sucks but it's the only way to avoid problems. Once rooted buy titanium backup. I can set my phone back up in about 30 min. Or if you have a custom recovery you can restore just data from a nandroid, I know TWRP will do it. But if you're interested in flashing might as well go all out put a custom recovery on and try out the custom ROM's like mine. Debloated, extra features and good battery life. Just sayin

Oh yeah I forgot about the modem... are we sure there not compatible They are the exact same phone. I have the Rogers version of the I927 and have flash the AT&T modems on it. It was locked to Rogers, I flashed the AT&T odin update to ICS no brick, it even removed the Rogers boot screen. Phone is still recognized as I927r in kies.
To be safe don't flash the Odin version of the Rogers ROM on you I747, The ROM itself is definitely compatible though.

Thanks

This is BS!
When roaming in the US, Bell customers fallback on the AT&T network natively.
Not sure for Telus and Rogers customers though...
And even if, for some reason, our modems don't work in the US, it doesn't mean you can't flash an AT&T modem from the DEV section using Odin (.tar modem file) or a custom recovery (.zip modem file).

Rogers roams on AT&T in the US. I have flashed AT&T based Roms with no issues on my Canadian Rogers SGH-I747M, other than getting some AT&T stuff (like their hotspot manager).

Can the reverse be done without any issues? I'm afraid of bricking the device. I'd want to do the flash via ODIN as it would be easier for me.

Check out these awesome possible combinations :
Bell i747m with Rogers ROM --> OK
Bell i747m with Telus ROM --> OK
Bell i747m with AT&T ROM --> OK
Rogers i747m with Bell ROM --> OK
Rogers i747m with Telus ROM --> OK
Rogers i747m with AT&T ROM --> OK
Telus i747m with AT&T ROM --> OK
Telus i747m with Bell ROM --> OK
Telus i747m with Rogers ROM --> OK
AT&T i747 with Bell ROM --> OK
AT&T i747 with Telus ROM --> OK
AT&T i747 with Rogers ROM --> OK
It's even possible that ROMs from the following providers would work, but I'm not 100% confident :
Koodo
Virgin mobile Canada
Fido
Ain't that cool ?!
P.S.: I take no liability in you bricking your phone in attempting any of the above! lol

Does anyone know which one of these 3 stock ROMs provides the best battery life with the least bloatware.
Would this re-lock my device (I don't have an AT&T SIM card).

nothing can relock your devices SIM, that occurs on a much deeper level

Is there a consensus that states which stock ROM has the least amount of bloatware?

[Q] Boost mobile galaxy s3 not workig after flashing a rom

This is my first post. Whenever i try to flash a sprint version of any rom on my gs3 from boost my LTE doesn't work. The only way my data will work is if i switch it to CDMA which means no 4g. I even tried dialing ##72786# to reset my data connection but that didn't work either. Does anyone know of a solution to this?

I was wondering did you flash stock Sprint rom first? Also did you have to do the MMS fix? I am trying to flash a custom rom for my mothers new S3 but I am not really too sure about it since it is on Boost. If I wanted to flash back to stock, would I just use the stock Sprint firmware again? Did you flash 4.3 or an earlier version? I heard that the new 4.3 update has the Knox built in like the newer devices but not too sure if what I read was correct

That's correct. If your data doesn't work you'll have to change your APN settings since most of these ROMs are for the sprint s3 and not the boost mobile. I flash ROMs a lot and sometimes the data work so I won't have to change my APN. If you need help with that I can help

thanks very much for your reply, you are the right person ive been looking for about a month now. i have downloaded a sprint stock rom JB 4.3 from sammobile for which id be flashing to my new boost mobile s3.
the essence here is am in Ghana with this device and obviously i have to change carrier because i cant have boost service here. My phone is still fresh in box and locked for that matter (only upgraded to JB 4.3 OTA). I would just like to unlock it for NAM configuration any help? Do i realy need to flash a sprint rom first?
version (*#1234#)
AP: L710VPUBMK5
CP: L710VPUBMK5
CSC: L710SPTBMK5
PLS HELP ME UNLOCK THIS DEVICE

I really don't know how to unlock a phone but I wouldn't mess with your phone since you did the OTA update to get 4.3. You have Knox now and that's bad to have. You can mess your phone up and void your warranty if you do anything with that knox

[T999v 4.3] OTA Update now Available

Hello,
Just thought I would post this for you T999v users out there.
It's the 4.3 update now available on kies.
Proceed with caution like us with the T999. You'll have to deal with Knox and root issues in sure.
Not sure what the differences are between the T999 and the T999v update if any besides the corresponding files needed for that phone.
Anyways, here's the Samsung link

Nice. Come on Samsung, let's keep this rolling. My T999L still hasn't been updated to 4.3.

FYI, you can use Mobile Odin to flash only the modem and then use one of the T-mobile roms. This way you can bypass Knox.
Just load the file in mobile odin. Then tap all the partitions except for the modem and select clear to ensure they don't get flashed

T999V 4.3 Rom!
For any who are interested, here is a deodexed, Knox Free 4.3 Rom built from Wind's MK5 firmware! I am fairly certain that all the Canadian carriers roms will be very closely related, and anyone can flash this if they so choose. It should work on the T999 and T999L as well, provided you have the correct modem for your model. Anyway, I hope some of you find it useful!
Warning: I currently do not have a phone and so I cannot test this. I am confident it will work as expected, but I make no guarantees. Flash at your own risk!
If you do try this Rom out, please let me know if WiFi is working or not. If not, flashing the AT&T kernel should fix this. Also, let me know if you have updated to 4.3 by flashing the OTA or official firmware.
Enjoy!

[Q] can i flash at&t firmware if my m919 has been unlocked?

I recently sim unlocked my SGH-M919 and I'm using it on the AT&T network, but the phone still has T-Mobile software and apps and won't ota update, which is kinda frustrating lol. So is there a way to get everything switched to AT&T?
And if I were to factory reset the phone am I going to lose the sim unlock?

Reset or ROM flashing won't undo sim unlock. You can flash latest T-Mobile firmware via Odin. See links in General section. You can't actually run ATT firmware due to slightly different hardware platform. And their bootloaders are locked so you wouldn't want to! I recommend you flash latest firmware, then install debloated ROM and install just apps you wish.

What if i used regionlock app to unlock my phone (i had to root flash 4.2.2 modem and use regionlock app then flash back to 4.4.2 modem to do this) can i still update to latest firmware or flash roms and modems and will i still be able to keep my phone unlocked?

I have not updated any firmware on the s4? Only flashed roms aosp/cm/stock bases. The s4 is my wifes phone so I only flashed about a dozen different roms ranging from 4.2-6.0.1 and never lost unlock.
The reason for this is that information used to lock/unlock is stored in a location untouched by roms and modems. I also own a note 2 which I unlocked and it only lost unlock once but that was due to playing with stuff even most advanced users dont mess with.
So feel free to explore and enjoy the range of roms out there but stick to tmobile only firmware (radios/bootloaders) and tmobile or i9505 roms. If you stray outside those two sections you could end up with major issues including bricks if you flash firmware that is not for tmobile.

Disassemble and clean the power button area. Most likely have buildup causing the sticking.
