International Roms compatible with all? - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

So I am ready to pick up my Tmobile S3 tmrrw and Im ready to start flashin roms, but I wasn't sure if I could just pull the roms from the international section? Is that possible?

No because they have a completely different processor so it will make your device unusable.

Unless you want to have an expensive paper weight I would refrain in doing so. Just be patient. Roms will start to appear specially with source available.

Thanks!

@[email protected] it just a phone...
i will just call someone or wait for others to call me...
i wish the battery is great so i can play games with it...
I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

Good luck, on the hox we had trouble getting 2ghz stable, still isn't really. Same CPU ofcourse so I'd assume the same applies here.

Just waiting for a JB AOSP/AOKP or CM10 release in a few weeks hopefully.
I really like JBs new style, and Google Now looks great. If there is a nexus device based on this hardware that would make an almost native porting environment I would be crazy happy!! A guy can dream can't he?
I would have bought a GNex but this hardware is just in another league,

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.
Actually...I liked "Take over the world"
Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

And right now i have the teal cruzerlite coming in tomorrow. I want a luxury charm but there's too many to choose from on strapya c.c

I'm probably going to look around for a case. I've been extremely cautious with it so far but I haven't seen one that I like. Any suggestions anyone?

Let everybody open a new thread now asking if people are getting every phone that comes out every two weeks. And wrong place to post questions. As you said it yourself the op has a question which means this thread should be moved to q&a.

There is not another thread on this forum for note 2 . I was just wondering who want to switch fron T999 to Note .
Peace
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I know the Windows phones are the big question in a lot of Android users eyes these days but I have to admit the Note 2 is a demon and though it will be like holding a salami sandwich to the side of my head I can't ignore the specs which is why I got the GS3 in the first place. I will be watching but I think it's still too early to tell if I'll be racing to the store since the last purchase nearly made my car the bedroom.
I am going for the Smart TV next though (Samsung rocks).

Just ignore people like that man they have nothing better to do than cry about it not being in the Q&A and really if that is their biggest thing to worry about it should make you feel better for having real issues not trolling forums whining.
back on topic, i am debating getting that or the one x+ if it comes out around the same line cant decide yet note 2 has a good lead though huge screen is right up my ally but pockets are getting too full to fast
I'd love it but I couldn't bring myself to rock it as a phone. Just too big.

The note 2 is a downgrade from the gs3 in terms of hardware. No way I'd downgrade. I had an international note and it wasn't in my top 5 best phones. I've had every high end phone too. I won't be getting rid of my s3 for one unless it has a huge dev community which I don't foresee.

That's interesting. It's about time the exynos supported lte and hspa+ 42. I bet that thing is gonna be a battery hog even with that huge battery. I'll be interested to see how this phone lands. If it's like the s3 and all the versions are similar then dev should be great. We will see.

Someone please set me straight.

I have an upgrade available and am considering moving from the One to the SGS 4.
I'm on AT&T. From what I've been reading,and I've been reading for a while now, if my SGS 4 comes with the latest firmware out of the box, I can root it, but Loki, therefore custom ROMS and recovery are out. Is this correct?
I was hoping to be able to put the Google edition ROM on the SGS 4.
Someone please set me straight.
Please and thanks
Correct, if it has the latest firmware than no flashing roms

The firmware version is on the side of the box, if I am not mistaken. I just got my S4 shipped directly from AT&T. It came with MDL.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
And mdl is what I want right?
If you want to install custom ROMs, yes.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
Typically, at least from what ive seen, the ATT box will have an "Updated" sticker on it if the firmware has been updated. My GS3 had that.
I have both the One and the S4. I don't think I'd give up the one for the s4.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Just go to the store and ask the sales tech to find one that ends in MDL and NOT one that ends in MF3.
It sounds crazy or embarrassing, but it is not! Certainly it is not illegal or wrong to do this.
Others have done that and the AT&T folks really don't care, or if they do select another sales person or even another store (like Best Buy or even Costco and Radio Shack! Those other stores may even have better insurance plans than AT&Ts!)
(As to which phone. ...the HTC One is prettier, and it is unique in design, but would you be happy with less/slower ram, no changeable battery, no SD card, and a smaller screen? The S4 also has some very nice camera options that seem (to me at least) a bit better than the HTC One. Of course, it is all personal preference . . )
Good Luck!

2 Q's before ordering

What's up guys? I'm thinking of buying this phone this coming week, but need answers on two questions..
1. Does the rooting method described in these forums work on the international model? Really would like to hide the soft keys and remove some bloat.
2. Would like to buy a case for this bad boy, and am I correct in assuming that all cases work except the ones made for the vzw version?
Huge thanks to anyone able to answer the questions, don't feel like using a Samsung device for the fourth year running..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I was told the root would work for international version. I haven't tried yet however.
Thanks for the answer. Been checking around and it seems like it works for both branded and unbranded international models

i can confirm that the root works, i have a three UK phone and rooting takes about 2 mins to complete

STock Deodex rom

Man I got this phone thinking I was going to be able to mod it up. basically no development and I cant even get my rom att rom Deodex
Gotta love non-developers crabbing about no development. You want to see a lack of development, go look in the note 3 forums. There's more development here than on the last 2 devices I've had at this stage of the game. What do you expect? You know you can come in and check these threads before you buy, right?
