Hi Friends,
It's been an year since I decided to crack open my android OS and install an OS which was lot faster sans bloat ware. I chose to go with CWM recovery and Cyanogen. I was happy not seeing At&T logo while my phone boots up and was hoping much better things as I use this phone. However, no matter to which version I upgrade, CM has been extremely disappointing to say the least. Not to sound like I am whining, can someone guide me on how to get back to stock OS without bricking my device. My device details given below.
Model: AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII (Samsung SGH-I747)
Baseband version: I747UCDMG2
Bootloader version: I747UCDMG2
Android version: 4.4.4
CM version: M10-d2lte (downgraded from M11-12 after issues with camera, call volume, mobile networks)
I am seeking help on:
1. Where can I get the stock ROM that suits my device current state
2. Steps on how to wipe off the current crap on my phone and install stock
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sid

This link should help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625
If your phone isn't unlocked and you are able to flash to stock 4.1.1, use the free method to unlock it before upgrading the bootloader.

Hi OP,
were you able to go back to stock ROM from Android ver 4.4.4 Bootloader I747UCDMG2?
If yes, please let me know which stock ROM you used. I am in the same boat.
Thanks
I am a Ubuntu lover and would like to install Ubuntu in dual boot with Android 4.2.2 on my device:
Code:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Neo
Device Name/Model SM-T111
Android Version 4.2.2
Baseband version T111XXUAOC2
Kernel version 3.4.5-2825399
Build number JDQ39. T111XXUBOC2
I can do this by following instructions on Ubuntu Wiki.
But there is a requirement that my device has an unlocked bootloader.
From what little know about Android the first step is to root the device.
I am happy to say that I have rooted the device successfully using KINGROOT.
I am looking to this Forum for help to unlock the bootloader. I searched on this Forum but could not find any existing thread for unlocking of bootloader on my samsung device.
Regards.

My wife bought a phone here in Mexico from TELCEL and I hate the stock ROM on it, I'm wanting something like CM or Paranoid Android etc on it.Is there a way to root a carrier locked phone from TELCEL? I can't seem to find any information as I don't know so much spanish to read tutorials about it. Even if I can't unlock it, just installing a new ROM on it would help.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
Phone Model: LG-D693n G3 Stylus
Provider: TELCEL
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: MOLY.WR8.W1338.MD.WG.TC01.SP.V11.P2
Kernal Version: 3.4.67
Build Number: ALPS.KK1.AOSP.MP2.TC1SP.V1.19
Software Version: V10a_09-JAN-2015
Cheers
If you want to root the device you can follow this guide.I used PurpleDrake to root my device with firmware V10e for G3 (D855).(As long as you are still in kitkat 4.4.2 / V10a firmware you probably could use Towelroot too to root your device without using a PC).
As long as you root your device you can change the official rom with a custom one.In order to achive that you are going to need a custom recovery.You have to find the right one for your device.I am using TWRP on my device.
If something goes wrong or for some reason you want to restore your phone to official rom you can flash a stock firmware using this guide.I hope I helped you.

Sorry, just checked, same guide as above.....
My g4's still on lollipop. Today i've finally unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and now I want to switch the stock rom with something custom.
I have downloaded the latest RR rom which is 7.1.2 r17 and it is the ROM of my liking.
Do I just go ahead and flash this? I guess not...
I could not find an explanation.
I think I need a matching modem and bootloader, but I could not find that info anywhere.
Can someone please help me with the procedure?
I would appreciate a few hints on how to make this jump.
Thank you.
Does anybody know how to use a custom image instead of LG logo (boot logo / splash screen)? Or if you know how to remove it completely?
I am NOT talking about the bootanimation file that comes after the splash.
The G4 is on stock rom, unlocked and rooted.
I have seen several users that are more advanced than me and I beg you for help! :fingers-crossed:
I will make a 15$ reward (donation) for a working solution.
