[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AlxMAX:
On my side, I had some problems. I have tried to compile the kernel, but I went a little bit further with the modifications:

disabled the /system write protection.

integrated the prima_wlan source tree in drivers/staging. The sources were downloaded from the codeaurora.org site and the driver version was 3.1.7.16 (I have specifically chosen this version because it was the closest to the 3.1.7.0 version that exists in the stock ROM).

compressed the vmlinux image with LZMA instead of gzip (this is an option in the configuration) to obtain the zImage file.

compressed the ramdisk image with LZMA instead of gzip (in the configuration file, I have seen 3 enabled options: gzip, LZMA and XZ and I thought recompressing the ramdisk might not hurt).

The toolchain I have used was downloaded from android.googlesource.com. Then I have unpacked the original boot.img like this: trimmed the first 128 bytes from the file (up to the ANDROID magic label), then used the unpackbootimg tool (this was a tool I have found in a Gingerbread source tree). Then, I have used the new zImg, the LZMA compressed ramdisk and mkbootimg (this was also picked from the same Gingebread source tree) to build a new boot.img. I have booted in the recovery, flashed the new modules, then booted in fastboot mode and flashed the boot.img. The result was an annoying boot loop and it wasn't very easy to put the phone in fastboot mode again.

I have some questions about what I have done so far. Could you, please, tell me if there was a wrong manoeuvre/setting/thingie? I suspect the unpacking process has not produced the proper data (command line, base address ...). What tool have you used to unpack the original boot.img file? I also suspect the packing process. Is a new mkbootimg required?

And some questions about your work. What prima_wlan driver have you used in your boot.img? Have you modified the suffix added to the 3.4.10 version when you have configured the kernel in order to make it work?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zarboz:
use dsi xda kitchen to pack the boot.img for easy use

or

use this

unpackbootimg -i boot.img -o /directoryfordump

mkbootimg --cmdline 'console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8' --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisknew.gz --base 80400000 --ramdiskaddr 81900000 -o newboot.img
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AlxMAX:
Where have you got that ramdisk address from? unpackbootimg doesn't report it.

Edit: I have done some research on mkbootimg and unpackbootimg and their usage is a little bit confusing. The boot image header contains a kernel address, a ramdisk address and some other data (including the command line provided to the kernel by the bootloader). The mkbootimg tool like it is in the Android repository uses more measures: a base address, a kernel offset, a ramdisk offset etc. The kernel address is base + kernel offset and so on. When unpacking the boot image with unpackbootimg, one must suppose one of the parameters fixed, usually the kernel offset (0x00008000). Consequently, the base address is computed as the kernel address - the kernel offset. To conclude, the command line to use should be:

mkbootimg --cmdline 'console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8' --base 80400000 --ramdisk_offset 1408000 --kernel boot.img-zImage --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz -o boot-2.img

This produces the same boot.img as the one posted by flar2, except for the command line.

Edit 2: I have recompiled the kernel, disabled the /system protection, used the mkbootimg command line right above and now my phone boots and runs well. The prima_wlan.ko that I have compiled together with the kernel (3.1.7.16 from codeaurora source repository) doesn't work. It might be a matter of wi-fi firmware. Fortunately, the stock prima_wlan.ko (proprietary 3.1.7.0) module works well.

you have to do some haxxing to get the CAF prima to load up
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AlxMAX:
I am interested of that hack. Could you, please, send me a link to some documentation about it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zarboz:
There isn't any I have found just trial and error
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AlxMAX:
If you are referring to the code enclosed by #ifdef CONFIG_HTC_WIFI_NVS ... #endif in wlan_hdd_main.c, then it is not simple trial and error. Have you picked the code from somewhere else and integrated into the prima sources or have you found the prima sources containing already that piece of code?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] octahedron:
So I'm due for an upgrade and I was wondering about this phone as it's the only one I really want. I currently have a motorola phone that was a flagship when it was first released(Atrix 4G) and while it was a decent phone, Motorola didn't really support it and stick to its release schedules with the phone. Normally this would not be a bad thing since there is the development community that one can fall back on, but this hindered the development community since developers needed to rely on Motorola for drivers and kernel along with Nvidia because the processor in the phone was a Tegra and I'm sure you guys already know how much Nvidia and open source don't go well together lol.

Anyways I was wondering if the SIII has(or will have) any sort of issues in the same area due to closed source or Samsung not releasing drivers,etc... to developers after major releases. I would wait for the SIV, but the phone is getting into screen size territory I'm not comfortable with and I don't want a Nexus 4 because the battery life doesn't seem to be as great as the SIII. Basically once I get my next phone, I want to be able to hold onto it for a few years without feeling the need to upgrade because of out of date software. The hardware in the SIII seems more than sufficient to be future proof.

Another side question: would there be any mods that retain some of the software features found in touchwiz or add any such as multitasking? Not a deal breaker, but just wondering.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Seriously doubt Samsung will "prevent" users from being able to mod unofficially. This is one of their two flagship devices. However, it is the carriers that should worry you more. Remember that there are different hardware versions of the SIII as well. Most likely the international versions will be always ahead in getting new updates. On a carrier such as AT&T you are most likely to be the last to receive an update, if you get it at all. Ultimately, if you want guaranteed updates, Nexus 4 is the only sure way to go.

And seriously, read before you ask about mods. Yes and Yes to both questions. Read through and you will find a lot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
This is not completely true. Samsung has already angered alot of the top developers by not releasing the proper info on the exynos chip in some phones. Even after saying they would. Even some CM maintainers have sworn off Samsung until them come threw. But they still have some of the best tract records for android. Even though Sony is moving up fast.

@OP you will always find something about one company or another that wall cause issues with open source development. This is due to the phone OEM not owning all the software code for the devices. Take CDMA phones. They use a closed sourced phone to work on the network. Nothing Samsung can do about it as it is not theirs. We won't even start on the WiFi and BT chip.

In the end. Get a phone that does what you want and need. Development should never be a first choice. That is just a bonus.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] octahedron:
I seriously doubted Motorola would have had issues with the Atrix seeing as how it was their flagship device as well. Seeing as how I've never had a Samsung smartphone, I'm not sure how they handle their updates and it has nothing to do with the carriers as much as it had to do with their Nvidia and Motorola because of Tegra and the fingerprint scanner/lapdock.

And "seriously" I've browsed through the developers forum before to see how active it was. All I wanted was a quick confirmation to my question instead of scanning each thread for a phone I may or may not get.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] octahedron:
Gotcha and thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deggy:
Hello fellow Atrix owner! I'm a former Atrix owner myself. I can you tell right now, this place is hoppin' compared to the Atrix. You won't be disappointed with the choices with ROMs here! Got a couple of former devs from the Atrix over here as well making ROMs!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
I have 4.2.2 running almost flawlessly already. Even the nexus devices are just having this update rolled out. I think that goes to show the quality of the S3 development. There certainly isn't a lack of ROMs to choose from in this community. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] octahedron:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dxwilliams40:
I rooted and had neutrino running on my wife's atrix. Samsung phones are easy compared to that process. There are plenty of stock based and aosp roms available. I have flashed at least 20 different roms since October. I will be jumping on the S4 though when it arrives.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] y0yerrj0sh:

for the people that are worried about rooting there phone because it voids your warranty the other day i bricked my phone and was freaking out cause i thought sprint would not fix it. i brought it to sprint and they said to give them 30mins to fix it. i came back in 30 they said they could not fix it and they ordered me a new one the phone was rooted and bricked. just thought i would share my experience with people

P.S. sorry if wrong section new to the forums

So I rooted my phone and installed CWM Recovery. All was good until I attempted flashing Hawkish rom. It completed ultra fast. I was like...this can't be right. When I tried restarting...it never did.

I've searched forums about bricked Galaxy SIII, but everyone's situation is different from mine. I've tried removing the battery and reinstalling it. I tried turning it one without the battery and plugged in (computer and wall outlet). What confuses me is it completely unresponsive except when I plug it in my computer. The computer recognizes that there's hdw plugged in...but the phone doesn't respond. And ONLY with the battery out, when I plug it in...a red light shows.
