Well I have an Ulocked ATT 1747 but I want to use it on Koodo (Telus). Will this work or do I need to use a rom for Telus? If I can use a rom for Telus, where can I find one and do I need to reflash the modem? Very confused. :confused:

Root and you are good to go, or for that matter as long as it is unlocked you are good to go, just may have to change the apn`s to get data etc.

The Rogers says : Rogers I747MVLALH1, while I have I747MVLLH1. Would that be okay?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
Yes, probably a typo by Mr Robinson. Even if you flashed bell or telus firmware it would not cause any harm as they use the same modem, but I will bet you the Rogers one is in fact llh1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ily112:
Thanks! Also, I know it's possible to remove the root from the phone, and bring the flash counter down, making the warranty usable again, but I can't seem to find a thread for it, or one for any Canadian carriers.

And just so I'm clear, when I just root the phone and load the stock root using Odin, would all of my files still be there? I'm using the Go Launcher app right now, which takes the place of TouchWiz. Will I have to reinstall Go Launcher + my other apps/widgets?

Also, can I follow the CyanogenMod wiki page guide for the AT&T model to flash CyanogenMod? I would most likely use ROM Manager to install it, but at the bottom, it says it will "wipe data and cache". Would that still happen if I don't select that option after I finish downloading the ROM? Do I have to wipe the cache and data to properly install the ROM?

Hello Canadian SGS 3 users,i have a question,what Exactly can i flash(rom) on my Sasktel i747m ,base ver.VLLH1. Do i have to stay with vllh1 style roms so as not to have imei issues.And also which carriers(bell,rogers, att) are compatable with my Sasktel phone.I should say that i have rooted my sg3, installed kyanmod 1.5 and it is great but after reading tons i am still not confident in what phone software is interchangeable.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
The real issue is to avoid any Rom from at&t that has an updated modem included in the flashable zip, which would include root stock roms and ota's. In most cases the OP will have a warning for non att users if there is a risk with flashing on non att phones. Always search the thread first, then ask if you are still unsure. CM10 should be fine for you to flash.

After installing Liquid Smooth Rom,it removed the M from my phone model.I thought i would see if Rom Manager would notice the change,previously it would not recognize my phone after the M was removed it recognized it as Samsung Galaxy s,not sure if i should install or not due to what it would do with my backups.

Hi everyone, long time lurker, just joined as I have this stupid questions that I could not find, or maybe haven't looked hard enough I guess.

Goomanager

Hey everyone.

I need some candians to verify something for me.

I have goomanager installed and when i do a custom rom search it always brings back nothing.

Can you guys verify that is the same for you too?

If I changed ro.product.device = "d2att" from "d2can", i get results coming back.

So im wondering if its a d2can thing that goomanager doesnt return any results?

I know to get roms ill dl from xda, but this is more of a curiousity and understanding why some features didnt work on goomanager.

thanks again!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cybergootch:
Hey Jsick,

Just wondering if you are experiencing the same thing I am. I too was wondering today about Metro PCS and if I can flash it. I flashed CWM a couple of times through Odin but noticed after a reboot, it goes back to stock recovery. Did you experience that? Has anyone experienced it?

Thanks,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mastodonOoO:
I got that too seems like no one acknowledges the i747. I had trouble flashing roms with the cwm from rom manager. So I went with twrp. Like it much better but goo seems to find nothing also.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cybergootch:
What is twrp? Is it similar to CWM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
TWRP is another alternate recovery image (as is CWM). See this thread (and these posts in particular for newer versions than the OP).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cybergootch:
Is it just as good as CWM or is CWM better?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
I guess they just don't recognize the Canadian variant.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
It seems to be a matter of personal preference. Personally, I prefer TWRP to CWM, but not everyone does; if you're curious, you could try both out and see what works better for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cybergootch:
For some reason CWM does not stay on my device. I would flash it but then after a reboot, it goes back to stock recovery. Would you know why that happens?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
The stock recovery overwrites a custom recovery upon each boot. To fix you must do the following:

You will need to rename or delete these two files.

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

I flashed CWM via ADB then I renamed those two files by adding a .bak to the end of the filename.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bballengphd:
Sorry for the late reply, was super busy last few days.

My gf is using the S3 and she is on Rogers, so when I upgraded to JB I decided to put in Rogers rooted image. After the upgrade I deleted most of the crap that Rogers put in and all is ok so far.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] huladaddy:
d2can solution anyone?

I currently manually delete the first line of "updater-script" to install CyanogenMod Nightlies onto my Bell S3.

Is this the only/best solution for now?

Does anyone know if Cyanogen will be adding "d2can" to his script anytime soon?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
Uh, this hasn't been a problem for a long time, AFAIK. What recovery are you using? (Is it an older version of CWM, by any chance?)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] huladaddy:
Oh? I get problems using GooManager v2.1.2 and TWRP v2.3.1.0.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
I'm in essentially the same boat - though I've started using a newer TWRP recently, everything worked fine for me with 2.3.1.0, and still does. What exactly happens when you try to flash an unmodified image?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:

I was just wondering what problems are you guys experiencing with twrp and cwm?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CyaN1de:
I just went through this installing PACMAN ROM last night.

First line in updater-script in the ROM needs to be deleted as we have d2can models and not d2att. The script checks for compatibility before flashing to avoid a bricking situation.

I believe the fix would be for devs to change updater-script to check for d2att OR d2can before proceeding. Not sure if this is possible or not.

Anyway, I opened the updater script and just deleted the build.prop checks and the ROM installed with no issues.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] huladaddy:
Yeah, I know the workaround. It's just that it is a pain. I was wondering if someone is working on a proper solution.

By the way, you can either delete the first line, or replace d2att with d2can.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
Why does stock recovery overwrite custom? Is that only for CWM? I have TWRP installed and TWRP remains.

Are you saying the CM custom roms aren't compatible with the canadian variant and we must make some edits?

Also did this issue always exist? or was it new?

What are some things that are missing from stock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CyaN1de:
I noticed tonight that once a custom ROM is installed and you move to new custom, the problem no longer exists as most (if not all) the ROMs use d2att in the build.prop.

Only going from stock to custom causes the issue so i doubt the Devs will spend much time accommodating us by using a workaround. It would be nice.......but doubtful at best i would think.

˙ııs ʎxɐlɐbƃbunsɯɐs ʎɯ ɯoɹɟ ʇuəs
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] huladaddy:
OK. I think I found the problem. I updated TWRP from 2.3.1.0 to 2.3.3.1 and I was able to update to the newest nightly without hand-editing the updater script!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jsick:
Mostly just small things like swiping to left on contact to SMS and to the right to call. I find battery life better on stock. Camera on stock is better, however there are some decent replacements on google play. I think both stock and aosp have their pros and cons and I find myself switching between the two. I find Touchwiz ugly, but I think it functions well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
I can't really speak to why this happens. I only installed a custom recovery after updating to the official JB via OTA and wasn't pleased with the performance.

Maybe it only affects those who had official JB installed prior to installing a custom recovery? I'm not sure, but it happened to me and I searched the forums and came up with that solution. My CWM has stuck since doing so. I'm not on TWRP 2.3.3.1 without issue as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
I think your right, it must be stock JB from OTA.

beucase i've heard of flash counter increment on JB's through OTA as well. even using mrrobinson's method.

Was stock JB that bad for you tony?

What is ADB that you used?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cybergootch:
What did Tony mean when he said that he installed CWM via ADB?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
different way of installing recovery. with coding instead of an app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
Adb = android debug bridge. It is a method using your command prompt to transfer files and commands from your computer to your device while connected via usb.

Tony meant that he installed cwm to his device from either his computer, or device, using adb commands from his computer.

As mentioned above, you do not need this to install a custom recovery. Just use goo manager or rom manager.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] madballs:
Those icons are ROM dependant. H+ is equivalent to 4G since carriers market HSPA+ and DC-HSPA as 4G. You would have to change the icons yourself if you want it to show 4G rather than H+.

Anyone know where I can find info on flashing roms, unlocking, and such for canadian users? It seems like nothing is compatible with my rogers sgh-i747m.

Mostly I found ppl were saying the at&t or t mobile was the same. At any rate im looking for more info directly geared towards Canadians. Oh and by the way I just took my chances and sent my phone to samsung from a roger repair shop and they reflashed it no charge. Apparently everything I did did not void any warrenty.

Sent from my SGH-I747M
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
The only difference between the i747 and i747m that I know of for certain is that they take different modem firmware from each other, which is generally only of interest for stock ROMs and/or directly flashing modem firmware; any other info, ROMs, etc. you find on the boards here is therefore going to be applicable to your device.

For the record, the bootloader doesn't need unlocking; that's a Verizon-specific thing, AFAIK.

Sorry, I haven't kept up to date on this thread.

Stock JB was destroying my battery life and that's without enhancements like Google Now turned on. It was also running hot, temperature wise, under load. It may have been something that wasn't playing nice, but I didn't factory reset to determine that. I have been using Task's 4.2 ROMs now and I haven't looked back.

And yes, after updating to official JB, even using MrRobinsons's Stock+Root method now trips the flash counter. Once you trip it once, you don't care anymore.

Correct. I used ADB via my PC to sideload CWM to my device. Now I run TWRP since it has more compatibility with Android 4.2's file system.
