Hey!
I'm interested in using the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4(4g) as a phone.
Is this possible with root?
Thanks for taking your time on making a response!
I'm new to XDA, so i apologize if i posted in wrong part of the Tab S forum part.
Sincerely,
Nils Julius Byrkjeland

Stock rom. You need to state your exact model. If it's carrier locked then you're gonna have difficulty.

Hello All,
I just purchased the T-Mobile edition on the Galaxy S III and I ignorantly updated from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.1.
I want to root my phone. Am I screwed? Please help me I don't want to screw up my phone.
Thanks for any help.
Why would that be ignorant ?
Yes, you can root JB. Even if you couldn't, you could always flash back to ICS if it was that important to you.
Check out the other forums here and ctrl+f "root" - there are guides that will completely walk you through it. I used the root66 root-injected stock ROM to root my phone, it was the first time I'd ever done such a thing and the guide is well-written and goes baby-step by baby-step.

Thanks for the info I'm rooted .
Any recommendations on the best ROM?
Have people become so lazy that they can't search?
Don't be a jerk. I have tried a few I was just asking what he thought was best that's all.
Comon bro, you made time to criticize but not to help.

Evil1art has a couple of very solid roms. V7 is ics and my favorite but his jellybean build is very good also.
Hey everyone,
I'm new to the whole flashing phones thing (I've recently had the guts to try it out) and I was wondering if it was possible to flash the "Jelly Beans 10" ROM originally from the Verizon Galaxy S3 thread on my Rogers Galaxy S3. This is the first ROM I have considered trying out and all the features look pretty cool, but looking around the forums it seems I can only flash roms that are specific to my phone(?) so I was wondering if it indeed is compatible or not. The link to the original ROM thread is below:

Thanks for all your help and I hope to hear from some of you guys soon
Cheers
Most likely, NO...
The Verizon model has different wireless module and it would not work. I wouldn't risk it.

The roms you want to install are the i747 one these are the at&t rom that work with your phone, be sure to check your model number to be sure. yours will probably be i747m the "m" doesn't really matter that I s just for the canadian variants, there are a lot of roms out there for your device, just make sure you read the reviews and follow flashing inductions properly. Thumbs up if this helped

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.

They've such different hardware that it would just be a pita to make it compatible.

I looked but I am unsure of which method to use, as in what is the difference between the CF-auto root and the CASUAL. Also which version of twrp do i use?
I used Casual.
After rooting, install GooManager and have it install TWRP.

Can you flash a d2tmo rom on the i747 d2lte/d2att?
I am not 110% sure, it might be possible.
I figured, should I try porting?

depends on the Rom.......such as
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/development/rom-cyanide-l-v1-android-5-0-2-t2980174
CyanideL is compatible to both.
Not to mention some of the replies on this thread sounds like a bunch of kids, sorry to be rude.
Some ROMS are fine for either phone. You may be able to get a Tmo ROM to work on the ATT s3 if you flash the Tmo ROM and immediately flash a compatible i747 kernel. I do this with my ATT note 3.

Ported ROMs should work, just make sure whatever ROM you want to boot works with the dt2Lte. I am coming from the GS2 and just got a GS4 not long ago, so my knowledge of ROMs on the GS3 here is limited due to the fact that my GS3 is just stock rooted.

infamous last words to a flasher,lol.......That Rom is for the galaxy s3 neo......worst case scenario is you brick and I have bricked a few, its not easy to recover and some have never recovered their device.
VERY first thing you need to do is find out what bootloader,modem,recovery,etc. and find a Rom that meets the criteria of YOUR device. Post your info and I will shoot you a list of compatible Roms that I can verify works.
I hope I helped

I attached a screenshot of my device info.
being as you are on the latest NJ1 I can tell you from reading forums that you can run almost every 4.4.4 or 5.0.x Rom on the front page of..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/development
I am on NE4 and have ran every Rom on that page plus a bunch more. I cant tell you which ones I like more because they are all the same base, some have added features, but they are all great in their own way.
