Gt-i9000M Help (Updated for new question) - Galaxy S I9000 General

I just got a used SGS off of my local classified ads to replace my little galaxy gio, and I have already successfully rooted it and removed 35mb of bloatware. I now want to flash a custom recovery to it and get rolling with custom roms. Except it is the M version. I can flash my galaxy gio with any roms and recoveries because thy are so close. So I am wondering if the same applies here. Can I flash any i9000 Rom and recovery on my i9000m?
New Question:
Why is it that when i flash a new kernel, i automatically get a new CWM? On my galaxy gio, i could keep my custom recovery from rom to rom, kernel to kernel etc.
Are there any kernels that leave the recovery alone?

Yes, it is basically the same phone. Just don't flash anything that is i9000B (Brazil I believe, as that is different). E.g. I am currently trying ICS333 2.0.1 with semaphore 1.2 kernel.

I think only difference is the modem: )So, yes.

Sounds like you're in Canada like I am. To make sure your cell coverage is still strong just flash your modem and csc back to kg3 by using odin. You can use any pda you like as long as it is for I9000 or I9000m. This is a great resource I use for firmware.

Sounds like you've already made it that far but what I always do is flash my modem and csc in odin after I install a custom rom. The bell Canada firmware is in the above link under north America 2.3.3. Just extract the files and use only the modem and csc.

Just flash custom kernel and you will have root, recovery etc.Look at dev section. Cf root, Semaphore, Speedmod...Choose what you want

New to Galaxy Tab

I'm new to the galaxy tab (att) and have a couple questions. So for all I've done is root the device. I'd like to at a minimum convert my file system to ext4. Can I flash modaco's kernal to convert to ext4? I have the jk1 stock firmware. I've read about protective bootloaders and am apprehensive about flashing anything until I know I wont throw my device into a bootloop. I'm familiar with the captivate flashing process and all of the custom Roms and tend to stick with customized stock Roms like cognition. Would flashing Modaco's kernel be the equivelent of stock + voodoo on the captivate? Stock feel with a better file system? Are there any risks of flashing it over jk1?

need stock rom for warrant

hey guys, vibration on my phone no longer works, need to go back for warranty.
I wonder where can I get the stock rom, Virgin Australia.
Thanks
Use checkfus downloader.
Sent from my I9000 running Slim ICS 3.6.
what's that?
What's the difference between that and Odin?
It's a program for finding the proper stock firmware for your phone and carrier. You download from there and then use Odin to flash I believe. I have found downloaded my firmware from it but I haven't needed to flash it as of yet. So haven't looked closely at files.

[KERNEL] CANADIAN (BELL,TELUS,ROGERS) ROOTED INSECURE KERNELS - Latest: I747MVLALE8

Hi Guys,
Here you can find rooted stock kernels (without any modifications, only "insecure" root added) for CANADIAN versions of Galaxy S III (SGH-I747M).
This WILL rise your custom binary counter.
Insecure Means that adb daemon on phone is working as root. If you need more answers on what is insecure kernel, search over xda forums, the answer is there.
To flash, use latest ODIN (3.07) : Download Here!
*LATEST ROGERS* - I747MVLALE8
*LATEST BELL* - I747MVLALE8
*LATEST TELUS* - I747MVLALE8
Enjoy!
Code:
Instructions:
- Run odin
- unpack zip (you should see .tar file inside)
- point to this TAR file in odin as PDA
- click flash
- done

There is no separate threads for Canadian devices, so this is the good thread. If mod will decide otherway then he will move it.

Technically there is a separate thread. It's the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 development because their both the same model I747

These are I747M, and is incompatible with the American counterpart.
Does anyone know where I could find these as cwm flashable zips? I am specifically looking for Rogers.

He was talking about i9300. This section is meant for i9300 and not i747 or its variants. Read this sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757755

Except they are not ROM compatible, just like tons of phones with similar variations out there regardless how closely resemble they are in terms of hardware.

Can anyone who has used the root for Bell advise if they still have LTE?
rooting does not affect LTE or any other GSM connectivity.
Do you know if any of these would work on a Sasktel SGS3? The Sasktel CSC is BWA (also I747MVLALE8)... I want to root but I haven't seen any stock rooted images specifically for Sasktel yet.
Can you flash these via recovery?

No, someone needs to repackage as flashable zip.

Does it need to be rooted before this or does this root it?
Telus s3
This thread is for Canadian carriers.
Could you please explain further as I have flashed insecure Telus but do not have root.
Odin reported green ok after flashing Samsung-Updates.com-SGH-I747M-TLS-I747MVLALE8_Kernel_INSECURE.zip
Busybox will not install.
I think I may have missed something.
Any help would be appreciated.

Works great. Now we wait for counter reset :-D and jkay mod (one in a million chance).
As for reason for failing to flash csc i reported in other thread.
If not flashing stock recovery, trying to keep team epic cwm, while doing it perfectly on international model with his cwm port, got the reply from Chainfire in a pm.
Basically he always packs stock recovery together with cwm in his releases.
Just wish someone releases temp cwm like we had on sgs2. Basically update.zip with spoofed signature.
That would also allow rooting without tripping a counter or flashing prerooted rom.

Update I9505 to 4.3/4.4

Hi.
Im on 4.2.2 with root (knox free) and would like to update my S4 I9505 to 4.3/4.4 and root without tripping knox, so that I can have 4G from my carrier.
Is it possible to do this. Would I need a knox free rom, because I had a S4 before which I updated and the wifi and carrier signals stopped working along with other stuff.
Thanks in advance

If you have a KnoxFree 4.2.2 then Flash a Custom recovery and then download any 4.4.2 or .4.3 Custom rom and flash it via recovery . then Update your Modem to 4.3/4.4.2 , to fix your Dropping signal issue ..If your Gonna flash let say 4.4.2 custom rom, then Flash only the zip rom and custom kernel iE Ktkernel or Jeboo kernel

Sorry im a noob at this stuff
I think I have CWM recovery already installed. So can I just flash a 4.3/4.4 rom for example the Cyanogenmod, then do I just update modem to 4.3/4.4.
Thanks

Also can I just not update modem to get LTE since my carrier only added it on 4.3rom.

If your Flashing a Cynogenmod then feel free to follow the Dev's Instruction. Because all you need to do is Flash the Rom and Update your Modem but not the LTE aka WifiFix aka NON-HLOS. and for 4.4.2 You need to flash a working kernel Jeboo/KT .
