As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.
Also wind mobile an Tmobile are interchangeable, just don't flash the modems.
ONLY FLASH THE ROMS IN THIS FORUM!

I second this, guys PLEASE don't risk it. It is not worth it. Right now I think most devs are working on their own ROMs, but we should have a patch soon to allow cross-compatibility.
think some peeps are confused by whats before tmo development. (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III) just my opinion but good idea on thread.
Mr Highway:
Could you start another thread for Windmobile Android Development?
In the past all Windmobile phones are just T-mobile phone rebadge.
In this case, it does not in terms of kernels....(and may be baseband)
I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

AMEN!! Some fool I know ALREADY called me with a bricked gs3! I'm gonna sit back and let the pros do their thing, and that's DEFINITELY the safest bet!
thanks for the reminder and jsut to make sure ....
i have rogers sgh-i747
i want to be in this AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III - xda-developers thread for everything correct ?
and not in the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 thread ?
I keep seeing posts about ROMs that can work on these variants of galaxy S3s. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the ROMs supposed to be specific to GSM or CDMA? When I flashed windows based roms on my touch pro II, that was one of the things to look out for. Is it possible to create a ROM for all carriers?

Yes and no.
With the use of aroma-installer, we could set it up to detect your phone type (well, not we....I don't know that much about it but I saw the thread discussing this) and aroma would be able to install the necessary files based on your phone.
As of now, for instance, mine works across all GSM carriers. clark44 is current working to get everything switched up so it also works for Sprint (mostly appears to be the apk files and XML files) that are specific to the phone. As of now, he has it booting and working fine except there is a large rush of FCs on initial bootup but then everything runs fine.
I wasn't even aware you could make a patch to allow cross-compatibility! XDA never fails to surprise
Just a thought, but maybe they could do it like the SlimROM on multiple devices. He has a common base ROM and another flashable for each device supported. It works out perfectly and multiple ROMs for multiple carriers.
I figure it will be easier than doing it for different devices since I read that all the US variants are essentially the same. Not sure but worth a look.

Will there ever be any SGH-T999V development?
Does anyone think that someone with a SGH-T999V Wind Mobile variant will ever be able to root their phone so they can overclock the cpu, etc?
Why not? I am using a custom rom and overclocked to 1890 at the moment.
Just use the windows way to root. I knbow it works
I have not tried the toolkit.
If you are going to flash a custom rom just make sure it does not contain the boot, modem and amss file in the rom that you are flashing.

What about using i9300 themes and mods? Will this cause constant FCs or other issues?

I'm more curious as to what exactly the differences are between the 2 variants (i.e. t999 vs t999v). What could possibly make them so different from each other that ROMs from tmobile wouldn't work on wind GS3?
What if you accidentally tried to flash i9300 rom and your phone is not turning on.
With the forums changed I accidentally flashed the wrong version rom on my phone. :crying:

Thanks for the link, unfortunately the phone will not go into download mode for odin, it won't even turn on.
After doing some research it looks like I have to fix it through jtag.
I think I could do it, but you need some expensive jtag box that connects to the computer(It's called the Riff Box), but it would be cheaper if I just sent my phone into here it costs $60. Not ideal, but not a complete disaster either. Unless there is some other way to JTAG I am out of options.

Thanks.
So I recently got a Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 (actually, GT-S5369, because it was a locked one). I procedeed on rooting it, installing a couple of different ROMs, like ChobitsDigitalis Rom and Creeds' Rom v2.5. Thing is, when I started all this, I had about 10 euros on my prepaid SIM card. Now I only have about 4 left,and it's going down fast.
I read on the forums that the phone might automatically send some SMSes to Samsung India or something if you had a wrong CSC activated. So I flashed the following using Odin :CSC only:S5360_OXFKL3. After that, using my IMEI number ( *#272*Device IMEI#), I selected the code CNX ( for Vodafone Romania) and thought everything would be fine. But, as stated above, I'm still losing credit.
I don't even know if I posted in the right section of the forum. I chose to post it in General Discussions rather than Q&A because this section seems more active. If there's a problem, I'm asking a moderator to move it.
Looking forward to an answer, I'm kinda desperate about it.
Have u disabled internet roaming?
give me thanks if I helped u
Well, I disabled it now. Another question: must I disable it everytime I install a new ROM? Do I need to flash a CSC that containts my provider everytime I install a new ROM?

Well, cheers guys. I wish those things were written somewhere around here,like, I've read that beginner's thread for S5360 newbies and other threads around here, but it was not stated anywhere that I need to do those things as well. Thanks a lot.
U know what's weird? I'm in Poland and never changed to any other csc when flashing custom roms. 8 euro gives me 3+gigabyte of internet + midnight to 9am unlimited. I guess its a good deal. Whats ur providers packet like?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
Have no idea, not using my provider's internet. But still, it is pretty weird how it resets to an Indian CSC (at least that's what happened with Creed's ROM) . As I said, it would've been no problem if you were at least noticed in the info thread about the ROM that there's a slight chance that this might happen. Lost about 6 euros...eh, **** happens, at least I know what to do next time.
It would help if you skip your Google sign-in too on every ROM flash. Since you don't have any active data plan, signing in could result in loss of prepaid credit.

I have flashed ATT TW AND AOSP roms for my Tmobile out of the box and it works. I then change the build.prop with root explorer.
Going to give this a try this weekend. It's a dumb question but could I use this to say port a Sprint ROM to my AT&T phone ? Just a straight port over but just changing the things you list here ?

I can't say for sure, but it should work just fine.
Though I must admit, Sprint is the worst choice you could make for your first port attempt. You could have problems with both libs and kernels.
And I still haven't figured out how to get MMS working on my Sprint port.

Is there any way of porting anything from the international i9300 to the AT&T i747 using a similar method as found in the original post?
I understand the processor and radio differences.

It will take much more than what is listed in the OP. I am not sure I have ever seen a ROM ported from Europe to the US (or the other way around).
As you mentioned, the processor and radios are different, but so are the system partitions. Anything is possible, but I think that would be a huge amount of work.
If you try this please be very careful. Many, many users have bricked their devices flashing a ROM from across the pond.

I wasn't going to try it. I had just wanted to get 4.1.2 without the AT&T bloatware and someone else's build that has additional features that I don't need.
Hey all, I was hoping to get some assistance on an issue that myself and stratatak7 have been having. We're trying to port the Intergalactic ROM over to VZW. Following this guide, I was able to get it to boot and everything is functional including calling and texts, but we cannot get any mobile data. We've gone as far as replacing the kernel with a vzw kernel and replacing the modules in Intergalactic with modules from a vzw rom but mobile data refuses to work. I would be grateful for any suggestions because it seems that we are at a loss. Thanks

OK, I apologize for having to ask this, but are you sure you followed all the steps correctly? I have to ask because my ROMs are the same version Intergalactic. Also, are you sure you grabbed the files from a VZW BLK3 ROM? Libs are the most important for data.
I have attached the files I use for my VZW port. I would change nothing except the ROM name in the build.prop for now and see how that goes. The eri.xml is compiled, so you can just add the file to framework-res with 7Zip. I started adding the csc files recently, but I don't think they really make a difference.

For your own personal use you should be able to get by with just changing your build.prop. Maybe the apn if you run in to any data problems. You should not need to flash a kernel or radio.

Hi! I am really interested on the ''omega'' rom, and i want to install it. the problem is, that i have a question for installing it.
Can i install it just with like, ''es file viewer" ?
Or do i install it, like with flash on recovery mode?

OP, you are so lucky you decided to ask us before flashing.
i believe the ROM you are trying to flash is this one here.
assuming that you have a T-Mobile Galaxy S III SGH-T999...
this ROM is meant for the International Galaxy S III GT-I9300.
if you flash this ROM on your device, your device will brick, and you'll be stuck with a $600 paperweight.

Finally some time to make a new thread.
I flashed goldeneye 4.4.2 rom from the ATT section
After flashing I cleared cache and dalvik cache...then flashed
Ktoon 4.4.2 tmo kernel.
I have no issues...

Um you might want to delete this. First, it's not a port...Second The goldeneye rom works on the I9505 t mobile and att models. As do most I9505 roms. If you chose to keep this post put your flame suit on.

Yeah I know I got the same response in another thread...it works for me without the new bootloader and modem that 9505 requires for the rom to work and the one in the t mobile section doesn't work properly. ..I don't really care if this gets deleted I just wanted to share in case people can use it. At least until the official tmo rom comes out.

I think the att and the i9505 is the same rom. No bootloader needed and the same built in karnel.
Instead of falsifying the thread title, op could of made a tutorial or something about his findings or tips when flashing another carrier custom rom, etc.
Moved to general and title changed, no matter what you flash, you are always taking a chance regardless...
