Hi,
I have a 2nd hand S3 i747m with ver 4.1.2 on it. It is unbranded, rooted and has TWRP on it as well. How can I tell which ver. it is? Or does it even matter when flashing roms? Trying hard not to screw it up ?.
Thanks for any info.

Update to what? On what firmware you are (baseband and build)? I don't think you can update if you not using at&t sim card and at&t version phone will NOT upgrate to international software.
Hi folks,
here is my situation. I got aan l710 but I live in Canada and i am with Roger. What custom ROM should I flash in order to be able to use the Canadian carrier?
Thanks in advance

Never mind. I just learned it's not possible.
I bought an unlocked AT&T i747 in the U.S. and gave it to my sister in Germany, where she uses it on the O2 network. It's still on the 4.1.x AT&T stock ROM, and I want to upgrade it to 4.3, but have a few question for you S III experts:
1) Should I use the official AT&T MJB ROM, or one of the Rogers/Bell/Telus MK5 ROMs? (keep in mind that I need none of the carrier specific stuff, I just want the best 4.3 stock ROM for the i747)
2) It is unclear to me what difference the new 4.3 bootloader makes. Do I need o flash it, or am I better off leaving the bootloader unchanged? I understand one cannot go back once on the 4.3 bootloader, but I don't understand what advantages the new bootloader brings.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. I am still in Germany for a few days before returning to the U.S., and would love to perform the upgrade while I'm here.
Also, battery life is of utmost importance, so if upgrading to 4.3 is known to have any negative impact in this regard, please let me know.
Thanks!

Hello everyone. I would like to ask some help regarding my at&t galaxy s3. I've tried to look for a 4.1.1 firmware everywhere and i can't find one. I need to unlock my phone and it's currently on 4.1.2.
So if anyone knows where can i find a 4.1.1 firmware, kindly help me. thanks!
Maybe one of these pre-rooted ROMs will work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Hey all,
Not sure if this is where i should be posting so please correct me if i'm wrong.
So i have an ace ii i8160 on baseband XXLK7 (Orange/EE UK) and i rooted, installed TWRP and flashed the cyanogenmod 11 from [nova fusion] (it wont let me link it as i am a new user). It worked perfectly and was looking great however the phones GSM function was no longer working. I have tried a few nightlys and a few stable releases, all flash successfully and boot but with no sim function at all.
No one else flashing these ROMs seems to have any GSM/RIL trouble so i think it is a problem specific to Orange/EE UK or my baseband.
I originally thought it was a problem with the ROM but have tried a few different modem files to no avail. I was wondering if any of you could help, either with changing the baseband (would an Orange UK SIM card still work with a different baseband than the XXLK7?) or upload a good stock gingerbread 2.3.6 for the ace ii on this baseband. I cant seem to find one anywhere.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Robbie.
