[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.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using XDA Premium HD app

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.

Bootloader unlocking

So I'm new to this forum, and I've done some reading and I'm a bit confused. I'm seeing some roms available making me believe that the bootloader has been unlocked and a method is out there on how to root and install a custom recovery. Can anyone help clear this up for me? Thanks!

the canadian variants are reported to come with unlocked bootloaders. the att i337 bootloader unlock hack will likely be released after the verizon sgs4 is released.

This forum is combined with other variants of the GS4. If you're using the AT&T Galaxy S4, your bootloader is locked and is going to be until Dan releases the hack.

Not sure what you're reading that would lead you to believe that. It works just fine. Did you even try it?

that's what I figured. confused myself with seeing bootlocker being locked and automatically assumed that meant not being able to root. haven't tried it yet, still on my s3 using your rom for the time being. my s4 is sitting here sun bathing tho

Questions regarding s4. Exynos/snapdragon and origin of purchase

Hey guys, if i am lucky I will hopefully soon be a happy galaxy s4 owner. However, this device shall be sent to me from Kuwait. Now my main question is, would that make my device have an exynos or a snapdragon CPU.
No need to get into details here a simple yes or no would be fine with the next question: battery life .. Is the snapdragon better?
Any notable differences?
Flashing to stock firmware of any sort possible just like during the sgs1 times? Or is it like ****ty old HTC? Thanks in advance

The I9505 seems to dominate the forum with devs developing for this more than the I9500. This may change but at the moment it seems that unless you are hardcore set on the Octacore CPU that has no noticeable difference when using the phone then the I9505 is the way to go...

Kuwait sells both versions, so it depends on which you purchased. Guess you will find out soon enough. I9505 has more dev support because it's based on the Krait/QC chip where the I9500 has Perseus, one of the greatest kernel devs on all XDA.

I have the AT&T S4 and you can only use the AT&T and I9505 ROMs. You have to flash the loki-doki zip afterwards though. You won't have to unlock again

Yeah, thats what I meant. Gonna wait in general until the rom variants are sorted, who knows maybe there will even be a way to root without trip.

Hey guys. I got a notification about a software update for my Rogers G900W8.
Was wondering if I should apply this update and would it affect root?

I made a post about this the next day the S5 was lunch. Rooting wasn't an issue for me as for flashing ROMS, some are compatible here, just need to ask them first. I'm wondering if we'll get our forum as well.

I would think most roms would work, I'm just wondering about our modem and baseband. Is it just a matter of flashing our modems to ensure lte function.

Meh, I didn't think about that =/. I guess you get no signals if modem/baseball aren't compatible. Is there a link to get our modem/baseband?

On the Note 3 N900w8 users got lucky, they could downgrade to JellyBean and back to Kitkat without issues, could root (on JB) without tripping KNOX and can pretty much flash ANY international ROM on their device (in this case the N9005 ROMs, N900T ROMs etc) -- IT is possible, now I use this term very very loosely that you *may* be able to flash a whole lot more than w8 only ROMs.
