Are there any stock kitkat rom for the Straight Talk S3? They don't want to update their phones because they don't found it necessary (The words they use). The phone is the SCH-S960L variant from Straight Talk. Baseband S960LWYAMD6.

Just tried and says is the latest firmware. So it seems it need to be cooked.
Or if somebody know where I can read about making custom firmwares will be apreciated. Damn Idiots at Straight Talk ask me why I want to upgrade to 4.4...

Well after so much search the firmware havent got released yet. So I decided to go with Cyanogenmod but the d2spr file is not fully compatible with the d2tfspr wish is the ID of this phone. As far I know this phone is the variant of the L710.
I am also very interested in an answer to this question. I have a Samsung Galaxy S III model SCH-S960L I purchased through Straight Talk. I was very disappointed to find this model has a built in SIM and could not be ported to another provider. I have also been extremely frustrated that I cannot update Android on this device. Despite what the idiots at Straight Talk say, there are many issues with Android 4.1.2 which comes on this device. I definitely want to find a way to upgrade to Android 4.4 if possible.

Is there any skilled developers that can port the pre-release 4.2 rom released by Samsung for the S3 I9300 so it can be flashed on to my Telus I747M S3.

You don't want to flash a international version of the firmware to your canadian S3.. That will brick it.
Also, if you searched a little, you'd know that we have 4.2.2 ROMs all over here. Please take a couple hours and go read the stickies.

Ok and when I bought my phone I did try flashing the other i9300 rom, but it only soft bricked the phone. I easily unbricked it by flashing the stock rom. It's just that I noticed that some developers ported some roms from sprint to AT&T. What I really wanted was multi-window. But thanks anyways.

Should've been clearer with your question. Either way, don't flash a I9300 ROM
As for multi-window, some ROMs offer that feature but you'll have to search for them as I don't use it myself. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Good luck!

Its easier to go to and from AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile because of the similar hardware. I'd you need a port its pretty simple.
Unfortunately the international ROM has different hardware (quad core CPU, 1gb ram) which makes it very difficult to port over to our ROMs. Most devs don't even bother.

Oh I see now, thanks for the info.
I am trying to understand that porting process as well. Could you not flash a bootloader and a kernel to make the i9300 rom launch on the i747? Sorry I was just wanting a touchwiz rom that was later than 4.1.1 for the i747. Sorry I am sure this is a ridiculous question but I just want to understand the portion of this that makes it so difficult. Thank you.

dude you already answered your own questions...read...
the title clearly says "Update Galaxy S3 GT I9300 with Official XXELLC Jellybean 4.1.2 Firmware"
is your device a GT I9300? i didn't think so...
please read next time pay more attention. you don't want to end up with an expensive brick.
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

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'm trying to help a friend with his N7105 and I am lost.
He has been rooted running custom roms for a long time so that he could get group messaging. Now that the Hangouts app is available for download I'm trying to get him back to stock unrooted and he can do his own thing from here out. In doing so I realized that 4.3 was released for his model. I have looked for FW files on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for the right file, but don't see anything for the US or AT&T. But, there are sites all over saying it was released in a roll-out back in December like Android Police.
I've read from the forums on sammobile that you can flash another countries firmware package, but then you'll only get OTAs from that country. Also, if the package you use is carrier specific you'll have to unlock to phone again. Is there no AT&T US package available? If not, what are my best options?
Any help?
Don't know if this helps or not

The US ATT version of the Note II is the SGH-I317, does your friend have an ATT branded phone or an imported N7105?. Sawdoctor's link will work if it is an I317. Flashing a rom from a different country won't SIM lock the phone, but will install the default apps from whatever phone company's build is used. I have an N7105, live in Belgium but use the German TMobile build on my phone, I had no issues going from CM11 back to 4.3 (I actually did this on Tuesday).

That's the hard part. The phone is branded as AT&T and the sticker under the battery says SGH-I317 but if you boot it into bootloader it says it's a N7105. He bought the phone used from a local classifieds site to use with AT&T, he broke his screen after a few months and sent it into Samsung to repair it. I'm not sure if he was returned the same phone he sent if or if they just sent out a phone a different phone. Not sure if it's a N7105 that was imported (or in this case, refurbed and sent to him).

If so what is the procedure, I was recently up dated to 4.4.2
I need the WiFi calling feature, at my home reception is very poor so really need it for voice.

SGH-M919 is the T-Mobile variant, so it should be no problem.
The easiest way to go back to stock is to use KIES, but that will revert you back to V.
You can download stock and flash with ODIN. As long as it is stock T-Mobile and you have a T-Mobile account, WiFi calling will work fine.

I have a T-mobile account so with ODIN I can flash the current version directly and it will work... That's good news

No, the modem wouldn't be your problem. Since you are already updated to the official 4.4.2, you now have KNOX to worry about. If you don't care about setting the 0x1 flag, your best bet would more than likely be to flash a custom recovery and a modded/stock ROM specifically for the M919 from the Android Development section. You keep mentioning that you have a Nextel device... just to confirm, you have a T-Mobile SIM, correct? Because if not, WiFi calling won't work for you anyway.
Yup, I have a T-mobile account and the phone has a T-mobile SIM in it
I don't think that KNOX flag is an issue as it is an unlocked Non T-mobile phone.
If I have an issue with the phone at all T-mobile is not going to support it.
The model phone I have apparently is exactly the same as the T-mobile branded phone, when I registered it with Samsung they identify it as a T-mobile phone.

Yeah, most every ROM posted in the development section is stable, TouchWiz or AOSP. Just make sure you read the OP to confirm that whichever ROM has WiFi calling included as there are TW ROMs which have been ported to our device from other carrier's S4s.... Only those specifically for the M919 will have WiFi calling and it will be specified in the OP. I'm not going to recommend which ROM to flash, but from someone who's tried them all... you can't make a bad decision whatever you choose.

Yes, you can. The only S4 ROMs you should stay away from are those made for the i9500 and non-standard S4's (i.e. S4 mini, S4 Active, etc). Any other variant of the standard S4 (including the i9505G) is good to go; just use a kernel for your specific device. On that note though, the i9505 and M919 kernels are interchangeable, so there's no need to follow that protocol when using our ROMs for your device and vice versa.

Thanks bro for your reply, that's great to know and gained extra 150+ ROMs thread as well really good to use great ROMS in this section
After doing some research my question:
The reason I can't use this firmware is due to the fact that my current baseband is higher than the one I was attempting to flash.
I have FNE2 and was trying to flash FNB4?
Thoughts?
Still looking to do this did anything change here? Has anyone successfully with flashing this with the stock ROM?
I'm a T- Mobile customer
Thanks
