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:

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.

Hi, I have updated my phone via Kies and now Root has gone. I have Baseband Version I9505XXUAME2 on UK Three network. I tried to re-root it using the moto filed I used to root it when I got the phone. Anyone know why I can't re-root it? Or better yet how to re-root it?
Thanks
This is where you should be looking at...

You my friend will have a shiny new BRICK if you stick around here in this forum.
This is the Tmobile T999 Galaxy S4 forum and anything you find here will cause
you a lot more harm than good. It looks like you have a Galaxy S4 9505 phone.
Why not go to the correct forum and try to get help there.
The link to the correct forum is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2162
There you can get real help.
Good luck!

Aha, I was wondering where to post. Thanks.
Hi all. I've royally screwed up my wife's AT&T, American Samsung Galaxy S3. I need the factory ROM. I really need help with this one guys. I won't go into all the details of what I messed up, but suffice to say I know I can fix it if I can just find the factory ROM for this phone. I'll then use Odin to reflash, and all will be well. So can anyone help me out with a link to the factory, stock ROM for an ATT Galaxy S3?

Here u go try the at&t forum section. Just double check your phones model is correct before flashing any roms official or not. As some ppl have tried to flash wrong model version roms and bricked there phones.

I've never heard that. I always thought that if you have an American ATT Galaxy S3, then that's the only model you need to worry about. Are there sub-models or something? How do I determine what ROM goes with my model?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756332
Here this sticky from this thread will explain it.
Edit:- if you go into phones "settings" and "about device" under model number should verify which model your using.

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.

oh sorry thought it was from t-mobile so i guessed this would be the right place, sorry
Nevermind, found it
Hey guys. Coming from Win-mo where everything is just straight forward so this stuff is pretty new. I am trying to find a Kitkat rom for my T-mo S2. I can't seem to find any threads specifically talking about branded phones.
Can anyone help me out here? Info
The phone isn't rooted and on stock jellybean 4.1.2.
If you can direct me to some step by step threads or even better actually telling me what to do step by step it'd be appreciated. Thank you.
I presume you have a SGH T-989 ? If so, you're in the wrong place, your thread belongs here. I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.
Yeah I realized that after I posted, I just couldn't figure out what the differences were. Thank you for the help.

Cyanogenmod 11 runs Kit Kat. You can download it from the official page. As for the actual flashing, you need to have root and the latest Clockworkmod installed, as I have read about some issues if you try to flash it with other custom recoveries or older versions of it.
You don't need to root. Just flash the recovery and flash the rom. The rom itself is rooted. If you want to root your stock rom flash the su zip in recovery
