I did a search , but didn't find any satisfying answers.
From reading the forum, I understand that you should not use an At&T modem on any model other than an AT&T GS3 because it can cause issues, but can you freely use a kernal, (stock or custom) that is meant for the AT&T version on any other north american GS3??
Thanks!!
The modems are interchangeable between the i747 and i747M.

i have tryed flashing an att and a bell modem on my telus s3 in the pasted and both times lost my imei and all connections to the towers
both times flashed back to telus modem and all worked good,
i have flashed custom kernals and roms from at&t and bell with no problems
for the I747 the modems are carrier specific and you should use only those for your assigned carrier to be safe. Most custom ROMs leave out the baseband/modem for this very reason.
Kernel source is common and independent of carrier, but are version specific i.e. ICS., JB etc.
I'm on virgin in Canada and have flashed all firmware from Rogers, Bell, and Telus thru odin with no problem at all. Pretty sure there are only 2 different modems for these carriers so far LE8, &LH1 which are both included in the modem flasher in the dev section

I spent 3+ hours trying to figure out if it's possible to flash my Rogers GS3 with the HK (International version) GS3 ROM.
All I found is "[HOW TO] Unbrick your Sprint phone from flashing an International gsm boot image"...
Is that a No?
Thats a no, the international galaxy s 3 has a different cpu chip. There have been lots of bricks flashing there roms on our phones

Thank you very much for your quick reply!
You can't flash international ROMs, and it seems that Sprint ROMs might be causing IMEI loss on AT&T type phones (my hunch based studying cases on the forum, not at all confirmed), but flashing d2att ROMs such as CM9 for d2att with the official d2att CWM has worked perfectly for me on Bell, and probably should too for you on Rogers (as the hardware is the same). (No guarantees whatsoever)
I've been reading a few threads trying to find the answers, but I still have a few questions.
=> Rooting
Looking into rooting my S3 with the "No Tripping Flash Counter" method, however when I click on the download link for Wind I get 3x files. I'm guessing (by elimination) that the one I need is the "root66_GLW_T99VVLALE6.7z" correct?
=> ROMs
I would like to install the "Speed Rom Beta 1", however the thread doesn't indicate what variant of S3 that is for. I have also found in some other threads that ROM's and kernels from other providers should be ok, but then this post on "DONT WANT A BRICK?" is saying that Wind and Tmobile are not interchangeable. So I'm not sure if I can use this ROM?
Thanks,
Vic.
WIND is Globalive, so GLW is the right one for you.
The WIND SGS3 is compatible with T-Mobile ROMs as long as they don't touch the modem because the modems are not interchangeable. Since people have been saying that CM10 and CM9 works for our T999V, SpeedROM should work too since it's based off CM10.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
Installed and everything is working except Google now (same scrolling issue other user had reported in the thread).
Had a couple or random reboots this morning, but now my carrier signal shows down and I'm getting a prompt for SIM unlock. Any ideas?
Hi there, Just a question......
I know there is quite a few different variants of the n7105, but, me as a UK user, can I flash different variants, ie verizon or AT&T (Well, I flashed cleanrom i think it was called???) and it worked perfectly.....
There arent any roms in the 7105 forum, so would like to use other variants to flash more
also I KNOW you cant flash n7100 roms to out 7105
is it just a case of downloading other variants, and flashing devil kernal etc??
Most of the at&t roms work well. I use agni kernel

I know only T-Mobile CM/AOSP roms and kernels saying D2LTE will work on my Galaxy 3. I heard some Sprint modems and firmware will work as well. What do I need to look for?
Hey guys,
I'm sure this has probably been answered somewhere but I have an old SGH-i317M from TELUS and was wondering if you can flash custom ROMs for N7105 on these old devices. I've noticed that only the International variants have been kept up to date in terms of development work when looking at Cyanogenmod whereas the US models have pretty much died after KitKat.
May you please advise?
Thank you.

No, don't use anything from a different model number.
I know that other than the modem firmware, there is no difference between the sgh-i317, sgh-t889, and gt-n7105. However I don't know if the SGH-i317M from TELUS is any different from the SGH-i317 from AT&T. Some cursory googling leads me to believe that they're the same.
You can use 85% of gt-n7105 on i317 i am currenlt using Mokee from N7105, flash shift kernel firstafter flashing rom then reboot
