yeah yeah ... sounds like a little lack of confidence :p just kidding .. maybe ;)

maybe I should get tasker ... so that the overclock is on while outdoors, off as soon as I get indoors, or else, boom, melted phone, lol

no.. I dont think so.. unless you make the db747 (and serenity) roms

I'm not a big fan of device ports ... too many differences injected by those damn north american carriers

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

if you are on t-mobile, and running stock, I recommend that you just take the newly released stock jb update

otherwise, ignore the rest of this post, lol

first ... make a nandroid backup by booting into recovery and choosing backup ... then reboot normally

try ota (over-the-air) first ... go into Settings, About Device, Software Update ... it will probably tell you there is one and ask you if you want it now

or ...

open kies on your pc ... plug in your phone ... once kies says it is connected, it will tell you if there is a firmware update available

Did you root yours? Did it work? Did you follow this exact process? Hows the internet speed on the S3? I havent got mine yet but I should be getting it Wednesday. The Videotron version of the S3 doesnt have LTE? Is it noticable? It also uses HSPA+ and not LTE? Is it still fast when browsing the internet from the carrier and not your home wifi?

I was not sucessfull to install the

Samsung Galaxy S3 ... model: T-999V, root: superSu, recovery: CWM Touch 6.0.1.2, rom: XquiziT xD v40 jellybean 4.1.1 with Aroma & Kitchen

I have T999V as well and rooted tried several times but after load it loops and reboots to recovery!! At times the installation hangs at 50%, did a full wipe, tries evertything. Are you sure it works with T999V - Wind!! Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
umm.. what, exactly, are you talking about?

the link in My sig is to the forum topic for XquiziT xD.

I am running v40 of that rom

in recovery.. after a nandroid backup.. factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install rom zip, wipe cache again, wipe dalvik again, reboot.. should successfully boot almost any tmobile rom

It's December the third. I still haven't gotten the update for my Mobilicity variant. Btw, Can someone link me to a guide to go completely back to stock, as in fresh out of the box. with the original Modem, rom, and unrooted, I want to do so before i update my phone to 4.1. Hopefully i'll see a fix to the not seeing 4G next to the bars, oh and I read some where that while rooting or updating to CM10 your IMEI changes or is lost? is that what causes 4G not to show up? or am i just being paranoid.

ICS /w CWM.......... whats easier, trying to find somesort of fix to get JB OTA, or just sucking it up and transitioning to community builds? I guess ATM im using 'stock + root' ICS package installed through odin.... btw, SGH-T999V (important factor maybe)........ I still dont even know if the upgrade to JB is even worth my time.

If it isnt, is there a way to shut that OTA notification down without Titanium backup paid version?

Thanks for all relevant replies!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jd10nn3:
Jelly Bean !

Jelly Bean for Videotron Galaxy S3 is out now ! just go to your settings. more about your phone (last menu) and to update.

:) have fun !
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
being on stock allows you to use the OTA ... BUT!! being on custom recovery means the OTA will fail to install!

simple test... boot into recovery...

if it is the ClockWorkMod (or other) custom recovery ... then you have a choice:

a) revert to stock completely and then do the OTA update

b) plug in to kies and do the update from there

if it is the stock recovery ... then you can use the OTA update and be updated in 25 mins :)

note: after the update, you will have to re-root

note: if you reverted to stock first ... you will have to re-root AND use titanium to restore your apps

so before you do anything ... BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP ! ;)

the update is VERY worth it! :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] X-Nemesis:
I installed the OTA I downloaded from SamMobile with MobileOdin. Followed the instructions from DocHoliday's thread and it worked and updated, but I still kept all my home screens and apps installed. I thought all that was supposed to be wiped out when doing a flash with a new stock ROM. My device info says 4.1.1 with Wind GLM. Do I need to re-do it at all or full steam ahead?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neysito:
If you don't wipe before an Odin stock rom flash or tell Odin to wipe somehow it will just flash on top of what the phone already has, so if you do not experience any issues after you should be good to go. Congrats on the update.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bgeorgi:
The links are dead guys.. How do I get the cwm for the T999V? (wind)

Do i use the one for tmobile? T999?

Also i have the ODIN 3.07 not the 3.04 like it says on the first page but thats ok right?

THANKS IN ADVANCE, the instructions are great by the way, I just got the S3 but I can't stand all the useless apps of there CHATON etc etc etc so I just wanna flash a custom rom, but I should root first so I can do a propper backup right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
it is an OTA ... an update.zip ... not a full firmware

it contains only an update of what has changed, so yes ... you get to keep your entire setup :)

it overwrote part of your system ... and stock recovery

as neysito said ... you are good to go :D

yes ... you can use the T999 recovery ... cwm or twrp

yes ... version of odin should not matter

you dont need a custom rom to de-bloat ... in fact our new LL1 baseband is higher than the tmobile LJA and so some things may not work

I have already heard of secphone crashing when updated T999V's use T999 roms

yes .. re-root ... then do a nandroid backup in twrp (or cwm)

and then use titanium to remove crap like chaton, svoice, smemo, etc ... and freeze some others

also use titanium to move stuff like dropbox from system app to user app

enjoy :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ajtja:
Hey does this work after the 4.1.1 update?

I currently have Jelly Bean on my Wind Phone T999V and still looking for a good way to root it safely.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
altho I personally have Not used this particular method,

it should work since rooting has nothing to do with your rom or baseband..

this method, same as most, achieves root by simply overwriting the stock recovery image with a recovery that is capable of installing custom zips ...

so that you can install a custom zip containing the superuser (root) app and system binary (executable)

if you have problem with this method, try this

if you use the link I posted ...

remember to un-check Auto Reboot in Odin so that you can pull battery

and you Will have to do the part near the end of the Q&A (below the steps) regarding renaming/deleting the two files, because this baseband Does restore stock recovery after boot until you do it

after you rename the files, you will be rooted but on stock recovery, so you will have to repeat the Odin part to re-install the recovery, but this time you can leave auto boot on and won't have to install the zip again

I hope I didn't confuse, lol

SGH-T999V Root

Hi,

I had rooted my SGH-T999v (wind) few weeks ago and it was working fine. After the JB update (it happened automatically), seems I have lost the root access...I'm pretty much "new to rooting" and the only thing I really use it for is to get few of those rooted apps and some game tweaking...

I am or was running SuperSU v0.99. Is it possible to re-root, if so how do I approach it?

Please and thank you for your reply in advance!

Edit: I followed "cLogic's" earlier instruction and checked into system recovery, it seems it is on stock and not on CWM. However, I still have the "SuperSU" app on, though it doesn't give root access to anything. So, is it safe to assume I can safely re-root the regular way as I did before?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
You are no longer rooted please read carefully before attempting anything... good luck !
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
the update rewrote the system partition, so you lost the su binary ...

yes, simply re-root

*edit

what happens when you go into superSu app.. settings ?

if it asks to update the binary, then that's all you need

if it fails, then yes, need to re-root
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rickbos:
I tried installing cyanogenmod 10 by following the instructions for wind S3's but to no avail. I booted my device in recovery then cleared user data and cache before booting the cm-10.0.0-d2tmo zip file in my internal sd. After a few seconds it would say installation aborted. I am new to the rooting scene so it might be a simple mistake that I am making. If anyone knows some way to fix this or anything that could help that would be great. I really want to install a rom onto my phone and this one seemed to be the best one and the only that works with Wind Mobile. Thanks

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jd10nn3:
if you already made the update to jelly bean that Videotron provide this month, you can't use this method. You have to restore the stock ICS and after go with all these step. (maybe it's not your case) just telling that because I was in this case 5 days ago and it's was I done to go in CM10.

the step to restore are in the tutorial at the bottom :) ( i'm currently uploading the stock ICS in the resources folder, it's 3 files to join. 1 done.)

hey guys, hoping someone here can help me out.

I've got a T999V from Wind, currently it'd rooted and I have CWM 6.0.4.5 on it. I decided to give Cyanogen a try, did a bit of research and grabbed the latest stable build from here: [ can't post links ] ( ?device=d2tmo&type=stable )

It seems like the d2tmo is our build? However when i try to flash it in cwm I get a Status 7 error, which I'm just guessing means that it's the wrong version of ROM? Just about everywhere I've read claims is should be compatible [ can't post links ] Samsung Galaxy S III (Wind)	SGH-T999V	yes	Please refer to Install CM for d2tmo. (from the compatibility matrix)

firstly, thank you for the reply.

I've read the article you linked but I'm concerned about just modifying the rom to ignore the compatibility check. I'm not in a hurry to brick this phone. I posted in a SGH-T999V thread to see if anyone else using the "V" had a less risky solution, or to confirm if the d2tmo is actually the correct rom.

There's also a thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1875790 where the same problem is outlined and it seems the solution was to upgrade cwm (which i did to no avail) or to use twrp instead (which i may try next).

again thanks for your help.

UPDATE ::

I tried installing one of the nightly's and it threw up a slightly more descriptive error. It tells me that my device is a d2att. So now I'm thinking I've got the wrong version of cwm installed, going to try re-flash that first make sure im using the d2mo img, will get back to you with results once that's complete.

UPDATE 2 ::

That did the trick :) I flashed the proper d2tmo cwm onto the phone and everything went as expected after that :) no more problems.

APN settings reset with Videotron...

Hi!

I'm looking for a solution. I've been looking for a ROM based on Videotron 4.3 T999VVLUEMK5, that would let me change the APN settings without resetting after some times (looks like I cannot change the default one for a strange reason and save it). I've tried one based on T mobile, but it lacks the default Internet call option that is a must for me (running an other application such as CSip Simple just drains the battery).

I've seen Rom modified so it makes the phone rooted, but I do wonder if it gives the option to change the APN before installing.

Unless there's just a way to change the APN with the stock ROM?

every canadian s3 is d2can on stock

the T999V is identical firmware to T-mobile T999

firmware that matters in this case are the radios (modems)

as long as you have the correct firmware for your device, you can flash any d2tmo or d2att recovery or rom (system partition)

d2lte is not a device .. it is the id created to represent all d2 devices when it was determined that kitKat didn't need separate versions per d2

most lollipop and marshmallow roms still include d2lte in their installer scripts in case someone is flashing from a kitKat rom which set the internal device id to d2lte

example .. if I flash something right now, the script would think that My s3 is d2tmo because that's what My current rom set in it's build.prop
