[Q] 4.1.1 to 4.3 KNOXless and hotspot - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I was going to ask these questions in Dev Forum Thread for Knoxless but I'm new here...
I have a Samsung S3 on AT&T that I rooted some time ago but stopped there and am still running stock. Anyway, I'd like to know if I update to 4.3 KNOXless do I need to prep the phone any differently or just follow the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504903 ? I'm fairly new to this and am trying to get caught up on everything and make sure I'm not going to brick the phone due to my ignorance.
One other question, I use the tethering/hotspot feature a decent amount and have noticed some ROMs/FW state they don't work with it. Is this the case with the stock KNOXless 4.3? I read through a lot of that thread but didn't see a clear answer on this. Also, let me know if there are other options I should consider.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Thanks so much for the help on this. Do you know if there is any concern on my other question coming from 4.1.1? I just want to make sure I'm following the instructions correctly. Thanks again.

Pretty much *all* of the roms in this forum are for the at&t variant, and almost all of them are 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. If yours is a SGH-i747, these roms will work on your phone, you just need to go into Settings->More/Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and write down your *working* APN settings to replace the APN settings that come with these roms.

If you can't find it it's because you didn't look properly or didn't go through the trouble of reading any of the search results...
If you were not able of finding a compatible ROM for your device even though you posted on the forum where many of them are, I would say you're not ready to flash custom ROMs on your device. You will most probably run into issues at some point and the ability of searching and finding solutions is a must when doing this type of thing... Don't expect people to help you much when the answer to your problems is right under your nose...

There are several 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 "stock" Touchwiz ROMs ported from T-Mobile, Verizon or our bordering countries (Canada/Mexico) that are for At&t in the development section. There is even a stock At&t 4.1.1 ROM there. There are even more "stock Android" 4.2.2 ROMs in the developer and original developer section.... Just browse and you'll find them.
If you don't know what you're doing, you may not want to flash one though?? If you do, MAKE SURE it's for your phone, I've hard bricked an S3 already flashing an incompatible ROM.
There is at least one post with a link to download the stock JB 4.1.2 update file, TC is either to dumb to find it, or is lazy and wants someone to post a link for them.

[Q] Roms for T999L T-Mobile

Im new to this part of XDA, I just recently purchased a Galaxy S3 T999L.
Purchasing this phone, I had no idea there was a non LTE Model which leads me in a bit of confusion when looking for a custom Rom
Im no rookie when it comes to flashing. If you look Below in my sig you can see the devices I currently have and have flashed different roms many times in the past. My question is what ROMs will work with my T999L? Ive looked and to my confusion have seen more for the T999 than anything since its been around much longer.. I've been looking and the forum here is a bit fragmented and its hard to see which ROM will go to which device. Please forgive me for my ignorance, Im just trying to play catch up, and perhaps contribute in the future in some way.
Edit: Im more familiar with flashing Tablets than phones, I dont have much experience with flashing radios and other phone related stuff...Is there a Difference with T999 and T999L other than the Radio?
edit 2: No comments? I guess either i said the wrong thing, or I posted in the wrong forum..
Thank you in advance
The t-999 ROMs will work with your t-999l, except the 4.3 touchwiz ROMs for the moment. 4.3 aosp/cm/aokp is fine.. There's really not much difference between the two, except the t-999l was updated to support lte.. Do not flash a t-999 modem to your t-999l, it won't brick but it won't pick up service at all. I suggest looking at the t-999l and t-999n q&a thread for further info

I did just that.... And u didn't have to be rude about it..
Thanks for your input
Don't mean to hi-jack this thread but it kind of pertains the the question. I have the T999L as well. I've read Doc's informational thread about the T999L and T999N.
In terms of this part:
"ONLY flash T999L firmware to a T999L and T999N firmware to a T999N!!!!
If it does not match your model EXACTLY, it will almost certainly brick your device!!!"
I keep reading I can safely flash T999 roms, kernels, etc. But it's the firmware process that confuses me. Should I only stick to 4.1.2 roms (can I even flash Jamison's 4.1.1 rom for example), or can I flash a 4.3 TW rom in the future, assuming the leaked builds get LTE support when the official update comes out?
Thanks in advance.

If that's true then how come the T999L wasn't updated to 4.3 alongside the T999? The 4.1.2 software wasn't even the same. No multi-window, no Note 2 photo gallery, still rockin the old "My Files" app on the T999L 4.1.2 software.....At first I thought it was just the "LTE Radio" difference but I guess there's more to it seeing the differences in software.

Firmware refers to the files used in Odin, so for those, make sure you use the ones for your device only. You can flash any ROM, even 4.1.1 I believe.. And yes once there's a leaked 4.3 firmware for the t999l you should be able to just flash the modem and then flash a 4.3 tw ROM, based on what we experienced with the t999

Thanks a lot for this. Been bugging me for a while now. I'll probably take the plunge soon and use "The Recovery Way." Rooted my first S3 using motochopper back in June or July when I first got it, but problems arose and exchanged it at Costco (just got it and WiFi wouldn't connect after a factory reset). Been scared since lol. Also scared me that I wouldn't receive official updates anymore as it said it was modified, but that doesn't bug me anymore reading all the complaints about the whole no turning back.
Thanks again!
I'm looking into flashing a custom ROM onto my T999L for the first time as well...have any of you guys taken the plunge yet, and have any feedback on specific ROMS? I think I will try with AOKP

Have you looked at this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998
It has a couple different Roms with the newest 4.3 ota firmware WITHOUT flashing the bootloaders. I personally had used LoserSkaters version and enewmans version with no real issues at all (other than I cannot flash my vr theme, but that might be something on my end). As far as being stable and everything working I have no problems.

First of, don't hijack threads, if you have a question start a new one.
And second, this is the reason I don't use cynanogen mod. There's a lot of random bugs.
And third, you might want to update to the latest version of cynanogen mod. Cm7 is pretty old.

CM Installer and 4.3 KNOX?

Friend of mine is wanting to root his (virgin) S3 via the CM Installer program. He's new and I'm newer and not seasoned enough to offer him a ton of help should something go wrong. My question is has any tested or ran the CM Installer on the newest 4.3 w/ KNOX? When I did my S3 I wasn't on 4.3. Thanks.

Rooting is really easy on this phone, Knox or otherwise makes no difference. Check out Android Forums, Virgin Mobile All Things Root subforum. More device-specific info, including how to root; we piggyback off Sprint in terms of custom ROM's and such, so the Sprint XDA forums are useful for users on VM and Boost, but like I said, if you want to get specific info for the VM variant, that is the way to go.

Noob trying to flash Kitkat on T-mo S2

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
