Assuming you still have this device and still want to upgrade I'm going to be working on a port for this in the near future. I just picked one up for my kids to play with.

[Q] Want to ROM my S3, Don't know where to look..

Hey guys, I wanted to install AOKP or another mod. The thing is, when I go on their website, I can't see a build for my phone(or it might be there, I just don't know what to look for). I have a t999v with videotron and it's currently running stock 4.1.1.
I should be fine once someone points me in the right direction since I do have some knowledge and experience with technology. Android just isn't my thing. Thanks!

[Q] Want to know more about ROM

Hey guys,
I am thinking to try paranoidkangdroid 4.2.2 ROM for galaxy s3 AT&T. but my phone is still running 4.1.1 and there is no update for the at&t yet for 4.2.
I searched whether 4.2.2 rom will work for at&t or not and got the ans saying NO but there will be soon.
so if they release that and if my phone is still running 4.1.1 will i still be able to install the 4.2.2 rom in my phone?
i tried finding the requirments but couldn't find one.
thank you.

Anyways as a matter of fact, all Custom ROMs for AT&T Galaxy SIII is in the Development section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1705
I'm still not sure whether you need official Samsung/AT&T update to 4.2.2 in order to try custom ROMs. Anyways I'll flag the Moderator to move this Thread to AT&T Galaxy SIII section, so that people using this device can give you a better suggestion.

Your stock firmware doesn't really affect what you have to do with flashing a new ROM. I have the i747 as well (on 4.1.1 stock) and i flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightlies (4.2.2) pretty easily. You don't need to worry about what you have right now. Just make sure you back up the ROM and follow all the procedures for installing a new one.
BTW AT&T (or Samsung for all that matters) probably won't release 4.2 at all. It's only out for the Nexus devices at the moment. The only way is to flash a new ROM right now.
and yes, you WILL be able to install 4.2.2, even if you're running 4.1.1 on your stock firmware. (Just make sure to backup in case anything goes wrong!) Your new ROM is not dependent on your old one
here's the thing
4.1.2 came out for S3 international ~4 months ago, U.S S3 yet have yet to have it
and there's no real date when they'll even release 4.1.2
so how long do you think we'll able to get an official version of 4.2.1? and then 4.2.2?

4.1.2 began slowly rolling out barely 3 months ago on the international variant. one of the features is the multi-view. as has been covered already, this affects the US variants as we have dual core phones vs the i9300s quad. we wont see a 4.1.2 firmware release.
i dont see any real carrier-published updates for the US models until the release of the s4

actually there will be 4.1.2 for U.S s3
it's just some features that you saw on international (multi-view, etc..) won't be there for us

So then it's not the same 4.1.2 release as people have been inquiring about. And I still say the US S3 won't see a major update until the S4

[Q] Wich JB-version and ROM for my GT-N7000 (Note I)

Hi,
I’ve still have installed the original (Samsung) Android JB 4.1.2 version on my Note GT-7000. Could you please tell me what is at the moment the latest smootht working ROM for my phone? Should I install this ROM, do I still keep the Samsung software and its gadges (like “air view” & “Voice talk” ) for this phone, or will they be gone?
Also, do I need a newer Android version (JB 4.2.2, JB 4.3.0 or even JB 4.3.1) to be installed as well (seperately) or will one of these versions will be installed with the ROM at the same time? If one of these working JB versions needs to be installed seperately as well, could you please give me the right link where to download this JB version for my Note? I am asking you this, because I do not know if a smooth working ROM is depending on the JB version installed.
I hope you can help me out here.
Thank you!
Robert.

Hi and thanks for checking.
You posted this in a Sprint Note II forum so I've tagged your thread to see if the moderators can help you get to the right spot.
None of the ROMs that we have would be compatible with your device.

Help with Updating Android on Unlocked AT&T S3 I747 for MetroPCS/TMobile

Hey guys so I decide to get the SGH-147 AT&T S3 off of ebay for MetroPCS which enabled me to get a 2 year squaretrade warranty. After looking back at it now, I feel it might have been a bad idea since Metro has a MIR 349.99 deal for their S3 version which would mean easier android update since it would be on Metro servers if I'm not mistaken. Anyway I can't return the ebay phone now unless there is some software or hardware problems within 30 days
So my problem
I am stuck on 4.1.1 on Kies and when I check for update, because the phone is based on AT&T servers, it won't work since I'm on Metro. I wanted to see if there is anyway for me to update my phone to 4.3 which is the current version. Although, I've heard some people have 4.3 problems?
If that's not advisable, could y'all tell me how I could atleast get to Android 4.1.2? Also is there a 4.4 update in the works?
I just got the phone today and would like to be running on something better than 4.1.1
should I flash the AT&T phone to a MetroPCS ROM lol, if any of those are actually available, or if I were to flash, should I flash it to Tmobile?

There are numerous options. The best depends on your choice. I recently rooted my AT&T phone and installed Cyanogenmod 10.2, based on android 4.3. Check it out. It is super cool.

Lets say I do it and I find out my singal or some issues I can't stand arise, can I reflash down to 4.1.1?
Btw any links to a stock 4.1.2 ROM? And do the battery on these phones run longer with newer Android flavors. The S3 battery I have is atrocious
AT&T 4.1.2 and 4.3 update is officially only available via OTA. But this requires being on the AT&T network. The are zip files available on XDA to get these updates but I strongly suggest you read up on things first.

Do you have any links on how to do the 4.1.2 update on an unlocked phone? I searched on google (admittedly i suck with google) but couldn't find much info.

Needing some help please with galaxy S4

Can Someone please tell me if there is a way to revert back to the 4.2.2 OS on the samsung galaxy S4 I'm with T-Mobile and the current OS is 4.4.4. I called Samsung yesterday and they said there wasn't any way of doing it. Reason I am wanting to do so is cause I have a new radio in my truck and it had AppRadio 3 on it and it requires the 4.2.2 OS. If anyone could help me that would be great thank you.
Get a new truck. ?
Pp.
sent from my microwave running lollipop 5.0.
Are you sure the requirement is not a least 4.2.2? It just doesn't sound right
why would i get a new truck? that makes no sense lol.. and ya I've called pioneer and asked them they said i need to have my phone at 4.2.2 OS because they have not yet updated there products yet. They are working on it but don't know how long its going to be.
You can't got from stock 4.4.4 to stock 4.2.2.
Once you move your bootloader beyond 4.2.2, you can't go back.
What you could do is flash a 4.2.2 based custom ROM onto your phone, so that your effective OS would be at that level. You would still have the 4.4.4 boot loader and modem, but you could go back to a Jellybean ROM.
Marc
Well only way is to flash a 4.2.2 rom
Get a Kenwood DDX719, I have this for 2yrs and worked with JB and now with KK.
Bluetooth sinc is flawless every time.
