Ahh got ya so this should be very simple for you since you haven't locked in to any bootloader yet (avoid MJB). So here are the steps I will give you to ensure an easy transition. Since you're using LS 2.37 which is based on CM 10.2 it should work with the new bootloader that isn't locked so restoring your backup should work ok. Pretty sure since it will work just fine on the updated ones. Nothing in ODIN or connected to your computer should be needed. So theres the good news for you. Unless you want to give your internal memory a wipe and want to back something up. Usually a good thing to do when coming from AOSP roms. Also know if you aren't satisfied with the new touchwiz you can easily flash any of the kitkat AOSP roms without any worry. As for the TW camera I read that the major issue is that samsung is holding onto the source code for it which is needed to port it to AOSP. So probably a longshot seeing it ever happen.

To be sure of where you're at right now I suggest this app and select the Build Info section. Should list your bootloader and everything in there.

So first things first you're going to want to update TWRP or CWM to the latest version. This would be the first trouble you run into. After upgrading your recovery next we will update your bootloader and modem using this zip I posted below in the hidden content. Thank enewman for putting this together to save people from flashing the OTA. Also included links to the latest flashable TWRP and Philz touch CWM for your convenience.

Just making sure you or whoever else may read this know the risk of flashing a bad bootloader (meaning one not for your device). This is only for the i747 (AT&T) and definitely not for the i747m (Canada). That being said this is the MJ2 bootloader from the leaked ATT version of 4.3 with the MJB Modem from the official release. Everything below is flashable in recovery.

Now you will want to follow dan's instructions in the original post and you should be set to go. Again Dan has been working on an update so if you have patience wait to do this until then, it will be worth it. :good:

Big thanks! Current bootloader is listed as I747UCDLK3. So I think I'm set. Just need some time, which is at a premium these days :)

I have this running great on my i747m from Rogers. The only thing I had to do was get wifi working. Very simple. Just flashed with the unsecure kernel and all was good. Running smooth now.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

I've been a fan of AOSP ROMs since the days of my 1st Galaxy S Vibrant. However, with my S3 I've been dissatisfied with Camera and Bluetooth. This ROM is awesome. The only extra I needed was the ktoonez kernel to get Wifi working. Thanks for all your diligent work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gonemad:
Awesome

I am a huge fan of this as well. I have done a lot of Rom hopping lately looking for the right one. I must have the AWS 1700 enabled so my choices were very limited, as I had to access DIAG mode to write the NV. This is basically the only custom rom I come across that I can do that, with the exception of CM10, which is way to buggy on the S3 I find. Koodos to the whole team for making this happen.

I've been working on adding some more to this theme and should hopefully be done with it over the next few weeks.

Edit: Probably will be done quicker than that but I want to try and make it 99% or maybe even 100. I posted the music and video players themed in the S3Rx thread and will probably post the dark keyboards (note 2 and note 3) when I finish them today. Thinking thats the only way to get rid of the blue text cursors and some other blue that I see all the time. Edit again: Nope this didn't fix it. Guess I missed it in one of the frameworks.

I put this together with the d2att parts but I have a d2spr so there's no way for me to test it. HERE you go. I recomend making a nandroid first, wiping cache and dalvik cache then flash. Flash at your own risk. Let us know how it works and good luck.

luckily i had a backup but for future reference, do you know why that might have occurred?

im on mk5 and i was using cwm 6.0.4.7

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidJay123:
Can this Rom run on this bootloader... I747UCDMG2. I know I have been rooted for quite some time so I'm not sure how many updates the phone took before I rooted. Any info greatly appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MercilessLTD:
No. Dandroid 5.4 is using Android 4.3 and your bootloader is meant for 4.1.2. While some bootloaders can be used for different Android versions, it has been identified that 4.1.2 bootloaders do not work with 4.3 ROMs. (Don't forget, you will also need to update your modem if/when you update your bootloader.)

If you wish to update, you have two options. AT&T "released" a leaked version of 4.3 which included the MJ2 bootloader. This bootloader can be downgraded to MG2 or DLK3 if necessary. Here is a zip that includes the MJ2 bootloader with the MJB modem (4.3 modem), thanks to [MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION]. This is what I run with 4.3 or 4.4.2 ROMs.

Your second option is the official bootloader released with the official 4.3 ROM. YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE FROM THIS BOOTLOADER; IF YOU DO, IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. If this is the option you wish to go with, you'll need to stop by the modem and bootloader threads.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidJay123:
I have been able to flash and use both 4.3 ROMS as well as 4.4.2. They seem to work fine? The only issue I currently have on Cyanogen 11 is the fact that once and a while the phone's signal goes completely blank, only to return in 10-15 secs or so? This happens in areas where I usually have plenty strong a signal too.

Back to the bootloaders and modems....someone suggested I could also do a nandroid backup of my phone currently, then flash a stock 4.3 zip file to get the updated bootloader/modem and then restore my nandroid backup after accepting the new bootloader and modem updates?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MercilessLTD:
Sorta kinda. :)

Essentially, by "not working," I mean there are possible issues that some have run into. I remember reports of intermittent WiFi, intermittent cell radio, possible camera issues, etc. It may work, but you must be careful mixing because bricks can happen.

As for flashing a stock ROM, that can work, but typically ROM ZIPs do not include bootloader or modem. You'll need to check if the ROM you are downloading includes these. If you are simply wanting the bootloader or modem, I highly suggest the zips I linked to. The best way to ensure you are getting the stock ROM with the included bootloader and modem is to ODIN a firmware. If you need help with that, there is an ODIN thread for the SGS3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kettir:
So I can flash this without downgrading to stock, is that right?

Thanks for your patience--it appears that if I get the 4.3 bootloader and modem (available early in this thread), and the Dandroid 5.4 ROM file, I can take my gs3 from Dandroid ROM of 4.2.1, and go directly to Dandroid 5.4, without having to "downgrade", is that correct?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MercilessLTD:
Yes, this should be fine. Just remember, don't dirty flash, i.e. make sure you wipe the system and data partitions, as well as the cache and dalvik cache, before you flash the new ROM. As such, I highly recommend something like Titanium Backup so you make sure you can keep your current apps and their data.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kettir:
UPDATE: I downloaded the bootloader/modem zip, and the 4.3 zip. Did a nandroid, backed up everything necessary in Titanium Backup, saved some files off the internal SD card, then went into TWRP recovery and wiped the system. I flashed 4.3 and then the bootloader/modem in that order. Now I'm rebooting. It's been about 25 minutes on the "Samsung Galaxy sIII" screen. I hope this is normal....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MercilessLTD:
No, 25 minutes is not normal. Usually it's around 3 - 5 mins, sometimes up to 10. Most likely the bootloader flash was fine if it boots. The modem will require testing once the ROM has booted. My first guess is you got a bad download on the 4.3 zip. However, you said you only wiped system. You will need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache, in addition to system. That could prevent boot as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kettir:
OK. I can't remember if I did the system wipe or not, although I did TWRP wipe all data and cache etc. I'm giving it another try. Hey, if it doesn't work, I can always go for that S5....I appreciate the help, and will let you know if it works out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kettir:

Depends on what you call necessary. Look at what the module changes by going through the respective app (or the module description in Xposed), and decide for yourself.

I'm getting the.com.sec.android.flashbar service has stopped error quite a bit. Any thoughts on what I might have messed up to get that? It's not critical if all it does is multi screen since I never use that. Turning off multiwindow seems to stop the error popping up.

Just out of curiosity, now that I'm running a 4.3, if I decide to try a stock AT&T rooted i747 kitkat ROM, will I be able to flash that without having to downgrade to a stock AT&T jelly bean?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cannothas:
I am unable to edit the APN settings, and there are none. I can call and text, but no MMS, no data, no tethering. Something must be wrong. I go into settings>connections>more networks>mobile networks and it says "Insert SIM card to access network services".

OK, so wifi was broke from the get-go, flashed Ktoonsez kernel, wifi works. But now no data. Going to try to flash an alternate modem, listed a few pages back.

If no go, I cannot use this ROM. This is a ridiculous amount of work in the first place.

EDIT:

Alright so turns out my modem was no bueno for this rom. Data is connected after flashing the MJB modem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cannothas:
Alright, I wonder if anybody else has these same issues...? Here's a list of Pros and Cons in my experience flashing this ROM. Due to battery life I had to go back to previous.

Pros:

TW Camera

Stock features such as motion settings and the setting for lock screen that doesn't need reentry of the PIN before x # of minutes

Xposed Framework is installed with the ROM

Cons:

Biggest con was battery life being about 4 to 6 hours for my normal usage. I'm used to 12 to 16.

Most time-consuming flash I can remember - None of my apps auto-downloaded from Play Store and needed manually installed, and I needed to research and flash a different modem to get Data working.

Wifi broken out of box. Research and flash alternate kernel for WiFi.

Rom came out of the box with all default notifications set to sounds that didn't exist. Maybe something changed from JB to KK that affects this? Missed a few calls and texts before I realized it.

Sorry, but I depend on this tool more than I have time to allow for all the fiddling that needed to be done to get stuff working. This is not necessarily a mark against Dandroid and the developers, but more against me not having time to track down all the issues. I just don't have time to do it. Thought this would be useful info for someone else who doesn't have as much time to play as they wish they had!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jake2034:
Did you do a full wipe and Back to Odin? If not, that's probably what caused your ringtone issue. I know that doing a dirty install will cause some leftover settings and other crud to be left behind (If I didn't I would have three different stock clock apps by now.)

As for apps auto-installing, I personally am glad it wasn't there. Have you tried Titanium Backup? I run it everyday, and when I flash a new ROM, I can restore all of my apps, and all of its settings too boot (much quicker than Google re-installing everything, and no need to log in to every app)! I'll have to see how battery goes over the next couple days, but it's much snappier than any other TW ROMs I've run.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cannothas:
No, if that's specified I missed it. I saw somewhere that a full wipe was sufficient (wanna say cache, dalvik, system and data, but not 100% sure)

I am familiar w/ TiBu, and am a big fan. I think it was from JB to KK that most of my backups broke the installation so badly that I needed to reflash. (Had to do w/ the permissions changes Google introduced I think). Because Dandroid is JB and LS is KK TiBu was not an option. (Or at least I thought it wasn't but I could be wrong!) Since then I try hard to have only apps that keep my data cloud-side. Then when Joogles auto installs my apps, I sign in and I'm done. More time? Yes. More patience required? Yes. More stable? Yes. Stability is what I need when I'm depending on my phone to do the job for which I got it :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jake2034:
He says that can help, in general, in the second post (I think). Which I did simply because I hadn't in a hell of a long time(or ever). But I did realize that some of my tones were, in fact blank. So, no fault of your own there. I also realized, the tones are fewer than most ROMs, which I completely appreciate! So, minor nuisance there, but worth it, to not scroll through hundreds of tones I'll never use; IMO.

That'll probably do it, I've only gone between 4.1.2 and 4.3. Although, what about only restoring Apps+Data strictly for User apps? That should leave the ROM itself intact, but restore all of the apps. Thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cannothas:
I want to say that's what I did - is there another option in free TiBu? But I've slept since then :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jake2034:
Not really, but sort of. Just do the normal "Apps+Data" restore, and just select only your apps. There's nothing to restore just use apps built-in.

If that's what you did, then the transition from KK to JB must have broken it. Also, might I recommend upgrading to the "donation" version of TiBu? Well worth it IMO, it makes restoring a breeze. No need to tap OK for each app.

Instead of going directly to the latest you should go to the next above yours, and then to the next above that. Repeat until you are on the latest bootloader and modem.

Having said that, this ROM will work on the 4.3 bootloader and modem. The main reason to upgrade past that is if the newer modem works better at your locations. (Make sure you keep the bootloader and modem on matching versions.)
