[Q] Installing generic firmware on AT&T branded S III

I have an AT&T branded/locked Samsung Galaxy S3. I am using Walmart's "Straight Talk" service with the phone. Most things work properly, but having all the custom AT&T software running creates problems as the phone is not authorized to use any of that bundled AT&T software. As a result I usually get annoyed anytime the AT&T Navigator pops up, or have to re-do APN settings when AT&T's software updater daemon finds new AT&T firmware available and upgrades the phone over-writing any current network settings. I am also locked out of several other features that AT&T considers "premium" such as "mobile hot-spot". In the past on other phones I have been able to enable this feature but with the AT&T S-3 it queries the AT&T server to check permissions and naturally denies me.
I would like to remove all AT&T software and branding from the phone. Is there some kind of generic, non-branded firmware with all of the phone's functionality enabled and unrestricted that I may install? If so, where can I find the image as well as instructions on how to do the flash successfully? It will not be my first time flashing an Android phone so I do not need my hand held; I just haven't been able to find clear information on how to perform the function nor where to find the firmware for this phone.
The phone is an SGH-I747.
Thanks in advance!

Easiest way:
Root, install TiBu, and freeze away all AT&T apps.

Flash the newest ROM. Its called LL1. It was released in December and it is free of all carrier bloat so it is completely stock touchwiz. I think there is a flashable version of in the android development section. Or if you don't want root you could get the Odin version.

I'll be trying this out later today. Aren't ODIN options only available for stock ROMs (either Samsung or the carriers)?

LL1 is stock Samsung. If I remember correctly, there is zero carrier influence on it

Where can I download this directly as it doesn't seem to be on the forums.
Is this what Google/Samsung would give to the carriers for them to add their bloatware?
...or is this something compiled from source code.

It was made by Samsung for some Mexican carrier but it has no carrier apps on it

That's the thread where you can download it. Its listed under the Puerto Rican section. You can read up about it first if you want. But I've been using it in Canada and its flawless.
If you want to flash through recovery, I posted a link a few posts above this one

Thanks. The problem that I have is that I use the i747 not he i747M, so ODIN is going to generate an error due to the differences in modems.

I just flashed it using CWM and it it working great for me.
+1 rep for you.

Some how I can't flash let me know how you did it. Please also provide me link. Everytime I try to flash I gives me error. Do I have be rooted. I am on dlk3 stock unrooted att s3.

[Q] Is there a stock odin flashable ROM for the SGH-M919V (Canadian Variant) S4?

I would very much like to start tinkering with my Galaxy S 4 from Wind Mobile Canada. But before I begin to do so, I'd like to have the option of returning to stock shall anything go wrong.
The phone appears to be similar to the SGH-M919 but has a different baseband and firmware.I checked sammobile.com for the stock firmware, but it isn't listed there.
AP: M919VVLUAMDC
CP: M919VVLUAMDC
CSC: M919VYVLAMDC
Is there a way I could backup the firmware/baseband from my phone prior to rooting/installing custom recovery etc?
Thanks!

Custom recoveries like clockwork and twrp allow you to make a nandroid backup.
You're not the only Canadian with an s4.
There should be a thread for Canadian users

It doesn't appear on SamMobile website yet. So, I guess you have to wait a little bit more.

I did look there. However, the issue is that there are 2 Canadian variants this time around.
Rogers, Bell, Virgin Mobile have opted for the AT&T variant. Whereas, Wind & Videotron have opted for the T-Mobile variant.
As such, there is very little information for the SGH-M919V. Hoping someone who sees this thread is able to post more information regarding this phone.

Need help simple questions

Consider me a complete noob on this matter.
Now I'm trying to get lte on my m919v and I've been ready that flashing the modem to the m919 (t-mobile) would be enough to solve my problem. But I have a couple où questions I can't find the answers to
1- do i need to be rooted to flash a modem
2-will I get a Knox message if I do
3-If it's only a simple modem problem, where can I find the m919 modem

1. Yes, you must be rooted.
2. If your device has Knox bootloader, yes it will trip the counter.
3. Still going to root?

Well i've tryed to find more info on the subject and nothing seems to be informative on this subject.
Guess us canadians don't buy enought galaxies everyone is and is sold to iphone they think jailbreaking is bad so imagine having to root a phone and play with this you're not suppose to touch because the little book that came with it said so

I read something somewhere about this. Someone flashed a AOSP ROM and got LTE speeds. It didn't mention TW though. Apparently they tried flashing the MDL bootloader but it didn't work. Have you tried just changing your APN to LTE?

KK is much to different from JB. I definitely wouldn't attempt flashing modems without knowing if it will brick your device.
