As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.
Also wind mobile an Tmobile are interchangeable, just don't flash the modems.
ONLY FLASH THE ROMS IN THIS FORUM!

I second this, guys PLEASE don't risk it. It is not worth it. Right now I think most devs are working on their own ROMs, but we should have a patch soon to allow cross-compatibility.
think some peeps are confused by whats before tmo development. (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III) just my opinion but good idea on thread.
Mr Highway:
Could you start another thread for Windmobile Android Development?
In the past all Windmobile phones are just T-mobile phone rebadge.
In this case, it does not in terms of kernels....(and may be baseband)
I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

AMEN!! Some fool I know ALREADY called me with a bricked gs3! I'm gonna sit back and let the pros do their thing, and that's DEFINITELY the safest bet!
thanks for the reminder and jsut to make sure ....
i have rogers sgh-i747
i want to be in this AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III - xda-developers thread for everything correct ?
and not in the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 thread ?
I keep seeing posts about ROMs that can work on these variants of galaxy S3s. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the ROMs supposed to be specific to GSM or CDMA? When I flashed windows based roms on my touch pro II, that was one of the things to look out for. Is it possible to create a ROM for all carriers?

Yes and no.
With the use of aroma-installer, we could set it up to detect your phone type (well, not we....I don't know that much about it but I saw the thread discussing this) and aroma would be able to install the necessary files based on your phone.
As of now, for instance, mine works across all GSM carriers. clark44 is current working to get everything switched up so it also works for Sprint (mostly appears to be the apk files and XML files) that are specific to the phone. As of now, he has it booting and working fine except there is a large rush of FCs on initial bootup but then everything runs fine.
I wasn't even aware you could make a patch to allow cross-compatibility! XDA never fails to surprise
Just a thought, but maybe they could do it like the SlimROM on multiple devices. He has a common base ROM and another flashable for each device supported. It works out perfectly and multiple ROMs for multiple carriers.
I figure it will be easier than doing it for different devices since I read that all the US variants are essentially the same. Not sure but worth a look.

I use it for the Vibrant

Will there ever be any SGH-T999V development?
Does anyone think that someone with a SGH-T999V Wind Mobile variant will ever be able to root their phone so they can overclock the cpu, etc?
Why not? I am using a custom rom and overclocked to 1890 at the moment.
Just use the windows way to root. I knbow it works
I have not tried the toolkit.
If you are going to flash a custom rom just make sure it does not contain the boot, modem and amss file in the rom that you are flashing.

What about using i9300 themes and mods? Will this cause constant FCs or other issues?

I am curious of this too. I have the wind mobile galaxy s 3 and I was hoping to put cyanogenmod on it. Is this possible? Let me know, any help would be appreciated.

I'm more curious as to what exactly the differences are between the 2 variants (i.e. t999 vs t999v). What could possibly make them so different from each other that ROMs from tmobile wouldn't work on wind GS3?
What if you accidentally tried to flash i9300 rom and your phone is not turning on.
With the forums changed I accidentally flashed the wrong version rom on my phone. :crying:

Try to use odin to go back to stock, that's what I'm thinking, but I don't own the S3

Thanks for the link, unfortunately the phone will not go into download mode for odin, it won't even turn on.
After doing some research it looks like I have to fix it through jtag.
I think I could do it, but you need some expensive jtag box that connects to the computer(It's called the Riff Box), but it would be cheaper if I just sent my phone into here it costs $60. Not ideal, but not a complete disaster either. Unless there is some other way to JTAG I am out of options.

Thanks.
What is the process, tools, software, etc. to revert from a custom ROM back to the stock ROM on the Galaxy S3? I have spent hours trying to find information about it, but everything I have found either mismatches with other information or is super complicated and hard to follow.
I'm sure this is posted somewhere on this site but I never found it in my searches.
I really just need to know where I can find the stock ROM for my phone and what ever else I need to flash it back on to my phone. Thanks!
I just recently flashed back to At&t's stock from a very tweaked creation of a rom for my S3. So I decided I wanted to start fresh. I found all the information on how to do this here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839
All the information you need to know is there. Hope you are successful in your endeavor.
I would read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=81 first though.

Hi, I need help. How/where will I find the stock rom for Galaxy S3 bought from MTN in South Africa?
Also, is there any way of figuring it out from the IMEI or Serial numbers?
Thanks.

Hi,
I currently have the At&t branded samsung galaxy s3 and it has no chinese language. How do I make this option available?
I already downloaded Odin and am ready to flash but I'm not sure which firmwares I can flash on it.
If I flash a International Unbranded firmware, would it brick the phone?
Please, this is urgent.
Thank you in advance.
Unfortunately I am not sure about how to get Chinese language support on your device other than flashing a new ROM such as CM10.1 or see if AOKP has the support.
What I can tell you is: Do NOT under any circumstance ever flash an international ROM to the i747. It will brick the phone.

You would be able to flash ROMs that are made for the AT&T/Rogers/Bell/Telus variant of Samsung Galaxy SIII.
Go to Settings -> About phone, and look at the Model number. It should display SGH-I747 (AT&T) or SGH-I747M (a Canadian variant). You might want to look on the label under the phone battery -- it should give you the same information. For these phone models, you will be able to flash ROMs that are advertised in this forum.
Make sure you don't flash ROMs made for another SGSIII variant (International I9300, T-Mobile T999, etc.), as it might just brick your phone. You have to flash a ROM that is made or ported to your exact phone model. For every ROM you find, read the first post of the thread: the ROM devs always say to which phone model their ROM is made for.
Hey folks I found this update to 4.1.2 on a site, it says that it can be done with a network unlocked s3. I'm using a t999 right now, will this brick the phone if I flash through odin? I unlocked my phone through the service choose I found on here a while back, here's the link:
http://androidadvices.com/xxellc-galaxy-s-3-jellybean-4-1-2-firmware/
Let me know if this is safe? Or you decide can compile it for us carriers? Thanks

dude you already answered your own questions...read...
the title clearly says "Update Galaxy S3 GT I9300 with Official XXELLC Jellybean 4.1.2 Firmware"
is your device a GT I9300? i didn't think so...
please read next time pay more attention. you don't want to end up with an expensive brick.
hello,
i recently bought my sasung galaxy s3 from t-mobile (in Holland).
after like 2 weeks i decided to root it and try and install the android 2.3 rom on it.
becouse that did not quite work out, i flashed the stock kernel on it again, and wanted eveything back to stock. but now when i open some apps they wont allow me anything becouse i do not have the original firmware etc on it....
I also cannot do software update becouse it says im running something custom,
if someone could telle me what to do to really bring it back to stock evething that would be great!
if you need more info thenn ask
It sounds like you have the I9300 or I9305. Look under the battery to be sure. If so, you need to go to the forum for that device, as nothing here will help you and most of us know little about your model.
