[Q] Noob Questions - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I am just now modding my SGH-I215M - as I have just rooted using CF-Auto root method. Now I am looking to install a recovery and a custom ROM. Before I do that, I wanted to make sure that the SGH-I317 Roms can be flashed on the M variant (Canadian).
Also, for installing a recovery - which version am I to use? the ATT or Canadian (t0ltecan) version? Goo manager said no files were found for my phone :S

You mean i317m right? I dont think there is a phone with the code i215m. In which case the Att ones will work fine. They have identical hardware

Thanks - Yes, that was a typo. Also, since I have updated OTA to 4.4.2, does that mean I have to downgrade my bootloader for ROM like DN3 V5?
I managed to get TWRP working on my phone, so now I should be able to wipe date in recovery and flash any ROM in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II Forums?

Whats the latest recovery I can flash to my rooted phone so I can install custom roms

Hi,
I have a Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted as per the thread instructions, and a copy of CWN 5.5.0.4 (All Variants) installed as well. I want to start trying out the JB Roms (Namely, the JellyBro one available for the phone) and I read in the thread that I needed the latest version of CWM Installed. I'm not sure which one will work if I flashed it to my phone correctly, so I need to know which one I can flash for my phone. Can I get it rom the CWM site (Says AT&T S3 is up to 6.0.1.2) but is the AT&T version the one I need for sure? I also tried via ROM Manager, it doesn't list my model phone for some reason.
Thanks in advance.

I used something like 5.8 and then tried TWRP. I only use TWRP, now. I got the info from TonyStark's att directory thread or maybe the ATT Ultimatum rom thread. Either will work. I've got an ATT but everything I've read says the Bell and ATT model are the same.

Thanks for the help. I used CWM 6.0.1.2 for ATT and it flashed perfectly! Now, i'm just trying to choose what ROM to go with, and if I have to install a KERNEL for it or not.
Thanks again.

[Q] AT&T Phone restoring with Rogers rom

Is it possible to restore a AT&T Galaxy 3 with a Rogers Galaxy 3 Rom?
why would you want to do it?

why wouldn't he? maybe he bought an AT&T one and wants the Rogers bloat instead of AT&T's.
We have an AT&T device however it does not install any of the rogers applications. The AT&T apps are completely useless to us as the device is unlocked and in Canada. I am going to have to root and then install the other firmware I assume. Can someone point me to the download.

Scroll down for the rooted rogers one.
Of course make sure you have your correct APN.
Also here is a semi custom one based on Rogers I believe

Yep, I've never tried it but I have tried the other one I listed and its a great ROM. Since I'm not sure if he wants just a blank slate or a custom ROM I linked both.
I forgot to mention to flash the VLDLK4 modem is going custom ROM.
I would like to load the Rogers rom to the phone..... its the easiest place to start for me. Once that is done then I can root the phone and load AOKP or CM.... Do I have to root before loading rogers rom or can i just use odin? If I load the Rogers ROM does that remove all the AT&T stuff?

hold on dude. is your s3 running the stock at&t firmware now? if so, you dont need to flash the rogers firmware onto it just to go ahead and flash an aokp/cm rom over it again. just think about what firmware/rom you would prefer running on your device and go from there. custom or stock?
If you just want something completely custom in the vein of aokp or cm then just root or flash rogers prerooted in Odin to avoid tripping flash counter and then install custom recovery.
Never saw if you were rooted already. If so just flash an at&t custom ROM and use rogers APN.

Is it unlocked ? Unlock it and then flash a stock rooted ROM in odin for Rogers to root it then flash what ever ROM after that. Of course make sure you install CWM or TWRP and you are on your way.
Yes it is unlocked so that I can put any sim I want into the device. Will I lose my unlock with doing these things?

CM10.1 Game Q's & Choosing CWM

Hey guy
I was just wondering if people are having issues with running games such as The Simpsons: Tapped Out, and other apps like Vine while running the latest nightly builds for the S3 i747? I had an S2 that was running CM10.1 and none of those apps worked.
Secondly, I recently bricked my old S2 while flashing something on it so I'm a bit wary of doing it on my S3 so I just want to clarify some things.
1) After I root the phone, I can just download ROM Manager and use that to install CWM, correct?
2) Then all I do is download the latest CM10.1 nightly build w/ gApps and flash both of them through CWM? Can I backup the stock Samsung ROM that I have on it now and restore it if I ever need it?
3) Which CWM file do I download exactly? I have a Telus SGH-I747M, and there are no downloads listed for that carrier. Do I just choose the AT&T version (Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T))? Why are there different versions for Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, US Cellular, etc? What are the differences and what do I choose for a Canadian Telus S3?
4) I am on Bell in Canada...do I have to be careful about which baseband gets flashed? I heard Rogers and AT&T were different from reading the sticky at the top of this forum.
Thanks,
Elliott

I can not really help for games... because I do not use any games on my device.
1) yes
2) Yes for the installation and yes for the backup. Do a backup in CWM before installing everything. If you need to go back, the backup will be useful. But don't worry if you don't have it, stock rom files are still available elsewhere... but it's easier to work with a backup.
3) except for modems and bootloader file, always download for the d2att device (Galaxy SIII for AT&T). Even for the recovery. I'm using TWRP for the recovery... and they have a version for the d2can (what you have)... but this recovery does not work with most d2att roms. Go with d2att dans you will be fine.
4)see my previous message... and if you upgraded to the latest Samsung ROM available (android 4.1.2), you already have the latest baseband and bootloader... but if you want a more recent bootloader and/or modem, check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
Again, do not install a modem/bootloader for an AT&T device... it won't work... make sure you take one for the I747M.
with CM, or most custom rom, it does not include a baseband (modem) or bootloader... so you are fine flashing them even if they are made for the d2att. I747 and I747M are using the same hardware and software except for the modem and boodloader
Thanks for the help.
As for rooting, I noticed that using CF-Root, there are two possible download files:
SGH-I747: CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747.zip
SGH-I747M: CF-Auto-Root-d2can-d2vl-sghi747m.zip
I'm guessing in this case it is RIGHT to choose the d2can version?
Anyone else have any response to this/regarding my games question?

yes chose the d2can version.
I do not remember exactly what I did to first root my device... it was a long time ago.
I remember that I used mobile odin to flash a new rom...
Thanks. What about this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoEVDgjTTdg
Is a Telus SGS3 supported by that method?
And one of my friends who has done the same thing installing CM10.1 on his SGS3 told me that I need to modify the build prop after installing to say d2can instead of dtatt, is that still true now? I don't know how long ago he did it.

[SOLVED]: Rogers Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M

My friend moved back to Pakistan from Canada recently and brought his phone back with him. Since the phone was purchased from Rogers, it was locked to Rogers network in Canada.
He brought it to Pakistan and had it unlocked for 10 USD at a store.
He isn't familiar with rooting and all so he didn't pay attention as to how the unlock was done and is not sure if it was a factory unlock or not.
He showed me his phone recently and I noticed they had rooted it.
He wants to update his phone to 4.3 Jellybean but he can't use OTA because his device status has been changed to 'Modified'.
If I download a 4.3 firmware for the I747M and flash it will the phone get locked again? On SamMobile, there is a firmware that shows Canda (Rogers) on one of the firmwares, if I download it and flash it will the phone get locked again or will it stay unlocked even though its being flashed with a Rogers firmware.
There is also another firmware with the Country/Carrier showing as 'Unknown' as SamMobile. If I flash this firmware, will the device get locked? What does 'Unknown' mean on a firmware?
Thanks
What OS is on the phone right now? If the phone is running 4.3, do not flash any stock firmware unless it is 4.3 or higher.
I don't think it makes a difference as to whether the phone was unlocked via rooting or code, it will remain unlocked after flashing.
I unlocked my Bell s3, as have many others, using a free method and the phone has remained unlocked, even though I reloaded a stock Bell 4.1.1 rom and then a stock Bell 4.1.2 rom.

It's on 4.1.1 right now. So if I flash a Rogers 4.3 firmware?

You can flash it but I would not do it. The 4.3 ROM will install Knox which can make rooting more difficult and harder to unbrick.
You can install a custom recovery and just flash a custom 4.4.2 ROM. This allows you to easily return to a stock ROM in the future.

My friend does want KitKat on his phone, so how do I flash a 4.4.2 ROM?
Can I flash the CWM Recovery meant for the I747? Will it make a difference if my device is the I747M?
Will I747 ROMs work on the I747M?
Thanks for the help BTW
You can flash Philz Touch Recovery via Odin. Once that is flashed correctly, you can download a ROM, save it on the phone's internal or external memory, boot into recovery, wipe Dalvik Cache, cache, and data. Then flash the rom and reboot.

I just started flashing ROMs onto my s3 and prefer an aosp interface.
I don't know of any that look like stock kit Kat but you could use as theme chooser to find something you like.
I recommend that you not update to 4.3.

You can search for themes on the play store. Many of them require a certain launcher. When you find a theme you like, just download the required launcher and install the theme.
Were you able to load a custom rom onto the phone?

I haven't tried yet since the phone is not with me.
To be honest, I've used 3-4 launchers from the Play Store but they still don't give the same experience as the Custom ROM.
Thanks
Every ROM uses some sort of launcher and certain themes only support certain launchers.
Personally, I like Cyanfox because of its dark UI.

Hi, I'm trying to unlock my Galaxy S3 I747M and I see that you were able to do so via a free method, now would that free method be via a survey, or a magazine deal or Netflix? I'm currently in Trinidad and it comes up with something like, Deals are not available in your country. I would like to use this phone while here on a work assignment so if you could please tell me how you were able to do this it would muchly be appreciated. Its on a Canadian carrier and with Rogers. Also on 4.1.2

The free method is not any sort of offer from any company. In order to use the free method, you need to flash a stock Rogers 4.1.1 ROM via Odin 3.07 because a stock 4.1.1 ROM is the only ROM that has the necessary menu options to do it. If you flash a stock ROM, you will loose all of the data and apps on your phone.
The i747m is a Bell phone. I think Rogers is an i747r.

[Q] Stuff is harder to find for sgh i747m

Hi im new on this forum and I would like to have some tricks and tips cause I just rooted my phone yesterday and it seems more difficult to find information for my phone I have a galaxy s3 on 4.3 sgh i747m with Rogers .... Is it me or there is just a lot more stuff made for the i9300... I have tried to find ROM'S and tricks to put CWM recovery but it's harder to find information !!
to put CWM recovery I saw a lot of stuff saying download rom manager and install CWM recovery with this app but they offer me a version of CWM recovery for a galaxy s3 (metro cps) they doesn't say if it's made for a sgh i747 so im really scared to do something wrong if I install this version of CWM recovery ..
Could some one help me maybe with website limks or a guide for beginers noob like me or this forum seem's to be really good with some people with knowledge
Before my galaxy s3 I had a Jailbreak Iphone 3gs a year ago but Rooting an Android and putting stuff on it is not really the same thing it's far away from it!
And does it matter if put some stuff on my phone made for at&t sprint etc.... even if those are sgh i747
Hey,
I am running CM11 d2att and CWM d2att on my i747m and it works perfectly. It has been so long since I did it that I can't remember the exact steps that I took, so I would do some more research. Everything I needed to know was on these forums somewhere.
I believe the rough steps I took were:
- Root
- Install CWM (d2att)
- Update bootloaders (i747m)
- Flash d2att rom
But I can't remember exactly, so do some research before you go ahead!
You can install pretty much whatever you'll find in these forums except for bootloaders and modems.
There are specific bootloaders/modem for the i747m vs. i747.
The rest, unless explicitely specified otherwise, is 100% compatible between i747 and i747m.
As for your recovery script, I would suggest installing TWRP instead of CWM.
TWRP is more user friendly for people that are new to Android and both are usually supported.
For this, go to the Play Store, download and install the "Goo manager" application.
Once installed, open up the app, hit the menu button and select the "install recovery script" option.
It will automatically select/download/install the correct recovery for your phone and ask you to confirm before doing so.

I recommend not updating your phone to any stock 4.3 ROM. A stock 4.3 ROM will install a 4.3 bootloader which cannot be downgraded and may cause problems when trying to root or get back to stock.
Some newer ROMs require an updated bootloader in order to install and boot. I am running a 4.1.2 bootloader on my i747m and don't have any problems installing 4.4.2 ROMs.
Rooting gives you access to the system files and does not unlock you bootloader.
For installing custom ROMs, I use Philz Touch which is based on CWM. I have tried TWRP and I was getting errors when flashing custom ROMs. I was able to flash the same ROM using Philz Touch without a problem. TWRP is more user friendly but doesn't work as well for me.

Your post says youhave 4.3 on your phone. Is it a stock 4.3 ROM?
d2att (i747) is the AT&T version of the s3. Canada has the i747m.
The bootloader does not need to be unlocked in order to install a custom recovery or to root like Motorola phones.
The bootloader is software that an OS works with in order to function as a phone.

yes its the 4.3 jelly bean stock rom
but can I put any custom rom for my model the i747 or 747m ? The carrier doesn't have any importance ?
Any warranty left on your phone? Installing a custom ROM will void your warranty.
If you want to install a custom rom, copy the ROM you want to the internal or external SD card, install Philz Touch recovery, boot into recovery, wipe cache, Dalvik, install the ROM, and reboot.
You can install any ROM for the d2att as long as the ROM supports the phone's bootloader.
How I know which bootloader I got? If I have the 4.3 jelly bean I have a 4.3 boot loader?

Any warranty left on your phone? Installing a custom ROM will void your warranty.
If you want to install a custom rom, copy the ROM you want to the internal or external SD card, install Philz Touch recovery, boot into recovery, wipe cache, Dalvik, install the ROM, and reboot.
You can install any ROM for the d2att as long as the ROM supports the phone's bootloader.

How I know which bootloader I got? If I have the 4.3 jelly bean I have a 4.3 boot loader?

Of you loaded a stock 4.3 ROM, you'll have the 4.3 bootloader.

thank you for your help
Since you have TWRP installed, you not flash custom ROMs. Look around for a ROM you like, download it to your phone's SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache, Dalvik, flash ROM, reboot.

He meant you CAN flash custom roms.
As long as the rom isn't packaged with a modem or bootloader you can flash any AT&T rom as you please.
