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

the radio is the same for Telus, Bell and Rogers. Look it up before giving out false info

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.

It will work just fine, they are cross compatible.

^^^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

Good God don't flash a Canadian rom on your at&t phone it'll turn into a shiny brick!! ALL the odin flashable stock roms have a modem included, flash the wrong one and poof! A brick

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?

AT&T or Tmobile?

Hi guys, I have an unlocked at&t i317 but I'm on Tmobile, what rom and modem should I flash? AT&T or Tmobile? Thanks for answering noob question

I would like to switch rom, tried skynote before, I got no data and no wifi, just wondering if that's because the modem problem.

I don't know. When I did the sim swap to be certain mine was unlocked I was running stock 4.1.2 from att

Well it's still an att phone so make sure you don't flash a tmobile bootloader or tmobile Odin package. Flash any rom made for att just add the tmobile apn if your not getting data.

AT&T Note 3 ROMS on Tmobile version?

Hello,
I have an unlocked Tmobile Note 3 (running on AT&T network) and I would like to know if I could install roms from AT&T version on it? If so, do I need to do anything special for it?

I was just about to post the same question. I am still trying to search for a way to get ISIS working and at the same time not tripping Knox. I think this method may be it. I read some folks on the AT&T forum (AT&T Note 3 running on T-Mobile network) got ISIS working by flashing a T-Mobile based ROM.

Your best bet is go ask in at&t forum. They would have better answers. You will lose WiFi calling

Don't care for Wifi calling as I'm on AT&T network anyway.

Yes the AT&T Roms will work fine. You just need to follow these steps.
1. Backup
2. Wipe
3. Install AT&T ROM
4. Install T-MO n900t TW kernel of choice
5. Install n900t NFC/WIFI fix zip (this is necessary for international ROMs to work so I assume you need it for ATT also. I did it and it works fine for me) FOUND HERE

Honestly, KNOXRAID was the best one...but that got shut down due to some drama. Not sure if the download files are still available but that's what I was running. I've heard good things about the BOBCATROM port too, but that was uploaded by the same guy so I dont know if the links are there still. I think you can try any of those safely. You have to be careful on the international ROMs though because if you don't download the right ones for your phone it will wipe your internal memory (PITA).
I also edited my first post to include a link for the NFC / WIFI fix.

Thanks you for the help. I just installed the Tmobile version of the Hyperdrive rom and will give it few days before I try the AT&T ones.

I downloaded FireNote V6x from the AT&T forum and it looks like it has messed up my phone. After doing the wipes when I tried flashing it via recovery it failed and now my phone does not see the internal SD or external. I'm stuck in recovery :crying:

Ya, it took me couple of hours to get everything back up but then I installed Wicked ROM and not its back to square on. I'm stuck in boot loop. :crying:. Will probably have to start all over again from stock.

Virgin Mobile rom on Sprint Galaxy S3 phone?

This S3 is on the rom right before KitKat. Can I flash a Virgin Mobile rom to it without bricking the phone? From what I can find about the S3(i'm new to this phone), flashing roms from different carriers will brick it.

You can flash Sprint roms, but the ones that are NOT unified builds, you may have recovery errors until you remove asserts from the rom.

now since you can flash sprint roms on those two....can you flash the other way around????? i want to say yes but i say wait till someone else says yes or no

basically, the phones, as stock, are the same, except for the modem. like mk3 for Sprint, and mk7 for Boost. I would say you could, having to remove asserts from the rom going to Sprint phone. You may have MMS and APN issues as well.

You can flash Sprint to Boost/VM and vice versa with MK3 and MK5, with no need to change or remove anything. Just flash back and forth at will. Some may require a wifi fix, which is basically just the stock kernel repacked, but other than that, and the carrier bloat and tagging, they are 100% interchangeable

[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?

No issues here with unlocked (region away) device and roms. I stick mostly to i9505 roms and not tmobile ones.

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.
