So I was running 4.4.4 (I forget who's build) and I just did a search on marshmallow and I saw a CM 13 so I flashed it without reading. I know, stupid noob. Anyways, my phone now says it is a GT-N7105 on android 6.0.1.
I do not like it. Before I try, I was curious if anyone knows if flashing it back is possible.
Thanks
N7100 or N7105?
i317, N7105, T889 are universal and every lollipop(?)+ROM will be branded as N7105 to my knowledge since there's no reason to maintain three different sources

I don't think there's no practical reason to not like that "cosmetic" change, but can understand the feeling. If you really can't stand it so much, you can get a build prop editor and change the model name yourself. I don't think there's any app relying on that info nowadays.
On the other hand, I kind a wonder if those three models are exact same ("universal") down to PIT level. Not that it matters unless you want to increase the size of userdata or something.
Boot into download mode to confirm the phone's model #. Once you have the model #, find the latest firmware from sammobile.com and flash it via Odin.

Hello , XDA community.
I have a T - Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3. Here are the current stats on the device.
Model: SGH-T999
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband: T999xxxx
Kernel: 3.0.8- 1083013
Build: IMM76D.T999
Okay , so here's my problem. My device is rooted. Stock kernel I think. I don't remember doing anything special. Just a root.
Everyday my device gets to notification to update. Everytime I choose to update , the device just reboots and goes into CWM Recovery. I really want my device to just update to JellyBean without having to reset or wipe the device neither unrooting it. Is this possible ?
I hope I was clear enough with all the information.
You won't be able to do an Over The Air update with a custom recovery. Why do you have a custom recovery with a stock rom lol? There are a few roms out there with very stock everything. Or you can use odin to get there... searching will get you where you need. Also, you are about 2 months behind everyone else lol.

Yes I am aware , I only wanted my phone rooted for a few applications. Never cared much about ROMS. Do you care to point me to a fairly decent rom , something that is quick and lag free , yet not to crazy. I am only asking you because you seem to be very updated.
Oh I am, lol. I'll give you something very plain.

Way to modded, this guy was on stock with root... I gave him stock with root. If he wants to go crazy and install a rom with custom looks, and mods to it (that alot of people like and some dislike),That's on him to research, like in my resource thread.
How to update Android 4.3 on a Galaxy S3 Tmobile SGH-T999L?
Hi there,
I´m new to the forum and I´m just a phone user. I´ve been reading different forums and messages and I think this is the correct one to post my question. If I´m wrong, please recommend me the appropriate forum if you know it . I must add that English is not my mother tongue and that I´m not familiar with terminology like flashing, mod, stock...
Having said that, here you have some background
I bought a Galaxy S3 Tmobile SGH T999L in the US in Jul 2014. I came back to my country, Spain, and as Tmobile doesn´t operate here I had to take it to a shop to unlock it and use with another supplier. The phone works reasonably well, though doesn´t totally benefit from 4G because the range of mobile frequencies used in Spain is different from the one in the US, with only partial coincidence. So it was my mistake to buy it there asuming that it would be 100% compatible here. But that´s not the issue. The issue is this:
I have recently downloaded several apps that informed me that because the O.S. is old (Android 4.3) I can´t benefit from some functionalities of the apps. .So I think I need to update to a higher version.
I have checked Tmobile US webpage where somebody asked the same question in a forum and they told him: "you flash a custome ROM (which we cannot discuss here, go to XDA developers if you are interested". And that´s why I´m here, because I have no idea of what that means, although I guess it might be related to deleting the content of the original ROM - and I suppose the O.S. is stored there- and substituting it by a higher O.S.
Below please find all technical data that I could find about my model, if this helps:
Model SGH-T999L
Base band version T999LUVUBOH1
Kernel version 3.0.31-2106417

Thu Aug 13 21:06:08 KST 2015

Hi,
I find the i747 vs the i747m issue quite confusing. Could someone in the know, please explain what the differences are (software/hardware). My S3 is the i747m (Canadian), rooted and CWM installed, but it is unbranded. I presently use the android 4.1.1, I would like to update to something a bit newer, but after many hours of reading, I'm still unsure as to which software to use. I have tried a couple of the roms listed on XDA, but get a consistent "Status 7" error when trying to flash.
Thanks for any educational comments.

There is no difference in the 2 models. The 747m is the Canadian equivalent of the ATT version. Your status 7 is likely due to your bootloader being older. More information may help, such as what you are trying to flash and what you are looking for. Do you want stock or AOSP etc. Your profile says Public Mobile, is this actually your carrier?

Tanks for your reply. It is appreciated. I will look into getting an updated ver of the bootloader. My present ver is, ' i747MVLDLDLK4'.
Obviously a bit out dated?! .

Update to the latest 4.1.2 from your carrier and you should be able to flash what you want from there. If you are going to be moving on to 4.3, you can flash rogers, bell or telus 4.1.2 as you will need to wipe anyway.

Hello people,
I am sorry I have to make a new thread
I have a t889v note 2 on 4.3, rooted, with videotron 4.3 using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975560 rom, baseband T889VVLUCMK4 and I want a piece of that kitkat action. I have used EFS professional to backup NV items because I don't want to end up with a f****d up IMEI number with no reception, but I'm not sure Im in the clear to test out different roms.
This is the reason for my post, I want to know which roms I would be the safest with. I have read so many conflicting posts on this I don't feel confident enough to make a judgement call. Does t0lte roms include any modem that would conflict with my t889v modem/baseband? What about t0ltetmo ? I understand that's the part where t-mobile comes in but this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...06&postcount=8 says I shouldn't ever use t0ltemo, but would t889v not be closer to t889 than GT-N7105 ? In the same thread people are saying they flash t-mobile roms and then just flash the canadian modem on top and it works fine, but I would rather not mess anything up the first time around.
Anyone care enough to help? Basically I just want to know what to look for in my rom selection, I understand I don't want a rom with a built-in modem, but this is conflicting too, omnirom early builds have no modem while later builds have one?

I'm guessing you've been deterred by my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684412
In my experience, ROMs for the GT-N7105 work fine. You can also try other ROMs for AT&T, and Sprint, they are usually ok. I think there are many other posts on this on XDA, so have a look.
The moral of the story is, make sure to back up your EFS partition. It's that simple.
if it is a rom that you flash in recovery you should be fine. they don't usually contain a modem or bootloader that would bork your install. You should be able to flash att, tmo, or n7105 roms with no problem
Thank you very much to both of you, very appreciated.
I went on to install omnirom 4.4 but Im not really liking the multiwindow, its a poor experience compared to touchwiz, I might eventually switch to a touchwiz ui based rom to get note 3 features and all the goodies, Im not sure yet.
As long as you don't flash a non T889V modem you should be good. When in doubt, nothing stops you from checking the zip or tar to see if it includes a modem, and removing it if needed.
If you haven't seen it yet, some recoveries recently had issues after flashing KitKat ROMs where your IMEI would show as unknown along with the phone not having service. Flashing the same ROM with another, updated, recovery fixes it.
Hadn't been over there in quite a while, but the N7105 forums have some sweet ROMs if you're looking for a change that should work fine on our phones...
Currently running "CM Remix" which has everything but the kitchen sink for an AOSP rom, and so far seems very smooth and stable

They should all be safe to flash. Same hardware on the internal LTE variant.
The build.prop and APNs may vary slightly, but many of the ROMs in this forum are exactly the same as their international versions anyway

By checking for a modem in the zip as the n7105 modem isn't compatible with AT&T or t-mobile. If modem is in the zip I usually just replace with proper modem for your carrier.

Mine is the ATT variant but unlocked and used in Central America. I'm guessing it will work with any modem?

No since it's AT&T you will need an AT&T modem in the phone as any other modem will cause an unknown baseband.

Got it, thanks!
Still running the ROM I mentioned in the OP, and it has too many features and too few flaws (none!) for me to try any other!
New build made yesterday - gonna try that, though
BTW, didn't have to change anything to get it optimized for the ATT model- even the APNs were all set up (unless maybe I restored settings that I wasn't aware of)...
1st Nov 2014 (ver 3.0.5.0 STABLE Fix)
Kernel : bundled with latest agni kernel ( Boeffla Sound version with new wifi module)
Update SuperSu to ver 2.16
native support to F2FS (no need to flash any convertor, native support F2FS partition of System. Internal data and Cache partition)
Fixed ART mode * (1 st Nov 2014)

Looks like a great rom!. I'm assuming this rom is ok to flash for any LTE variant (Bell) since it doesn't include a modem?

Should be fine! Just back up as you always would with TWRP and make sure you backup the modem as well. That way you'll always have one backed up if you need it just in case...
Yep, as long a modem isn't included in the zip (which it *typically* isn't in the case of AOSP based roms), you're good to go.
I personally don't even flash t0lteatt roms when they're available and instead use their t0lte counterparts, as the t0lte versions are sometimes more likely to be updated more often (and in some cases the t0lteatt device tree has been abandoned entirely!)
And if anyone's wanting to build a rom from source, while we're on the topic of AOSP roms, the t0lte tree is the way to go as far as the Galaxy Note 2 LTE models are concerned.

What reminded me to check the international forum was when I went to deactivate my old phones in Google Play Music, I noticed most of them were listed as an N7105- and all of the ROMs were downloaded from this forum anyway...
I was wondering about trying Roms from that forum too. I kept seeing posts where someone said something about a DN4 Rom. So I looked it up and downloaded..........only to find that it is not one of the Roms that works on our phone.......as of yet. It did flash and start up, but before I could make it past the welcome screen, I got a bunch of pop-ups about various items "quit working." And they kept coming back. And then I had the unknown baseband with no signal.................basically it just doesn't work. Damn shame too, cause it looked so nice. But this did make me look at the other Roms and I will be trying a few of them. I must say though, DN4 had my mouth watering for the GN4 experience on my 2.

You can only flash roms from the n7105 section. The roms in the development and original development sections won't work

Hello guys! So I just had a quick question about the t0ltetmo ROMs from CyanogenMod. I asked on their Facebook page but some jack off that "works for CyanogenMod" was just rude as hell, and called me stupid. So does anyone know if CyanogenMod unified the t0lte ROM and is safe for flashing on other variants? The t0ltetmo, t0lteatt etc. Thanks guys! And if you could, send me a link where they announced that? I saw the post that said they were going to make a unified ROM but they never posted and said it was done. Thanks all!
From my experience if you see t0lte, t0lteatt, t0ltetmo, N7105, it should be fine to install if your device is any of those you just may happen to flash a modem afterward if the ROM includes one and it isn't your device.
In short, it's safe.

Thanks! So even if the ROM wasn't unified, it has no way of bricking my phone real bad? If it doesn't work, it can be restored with a backup? Cuz yea, I have the t-mobile version, and the ROM I'm talking about was made for the international. It MAY be unified, not sure.

t0lteatt. Wish I had the t0ltetmo since I'm on T-Mobile and this ATT one won't get LTE some reason
