I've been trying to install romsin my SGS3 4g, but whenever I try i get a status 7 error. I did a little investigation it turned out that status 7 ment that the rom or cwm didnt recognize my phone as compatible with the rom, so it aborted it, there was supposedly a way to "bypass" it, when i did i bricked my phone, really bricked, changed it and have another one. got the same errors, I am SURE that im using a rom compatible with my phone (was tring to instal paranoid android). my phone is the AT&T version (Im with Telcel in mexico, but they use the same model), anyone know or has encountered this problem?
this is the forum for the i9305, not the att version.

wrong, there's a forum for every S3 version, i747 included

just keep in mind that you might've killed the phone by flashing incompatible firmware, if you did bypass the safety measures. make sure to mention this in the relevant forum

i have a s3 mini phone that has a very new model (g730a) that looks like nobody else on the internet has. there are no threads on this entire forum about this model number, and i am trying to downgrade the stock firmware, 4.2.2, to a very old firmware, 2.2 (froyo), is there any way of doing this? (this phone was bought from an at&t store) how do people even downgrade? where do they get their downloads from?
if there is "no way" of me doing this easily by downloading something, how can i do it myself?
really need some help with this, thanks!

why would you want to downgrade?
i just think froyo looks cool, and i see it still functions with the play store and that. i've heard of cyanogen mod or whatever it's called yet don't know what it is nor how to use it. i am brand new to this android world. was told that this site had everything
Device was not here when froyo was so you will never be able to downgrade. It came with jb, so that's what you will have.

Try the "one-click-root" that someone posted in general. It might work. Then you can take a look on what's inside, and maybe have a recovery built.

You CAN install any android version that is older that you want, but it isn't created for the device. So somebody would need to develop drivers for it to work on the particular version of android.
Short answer: No you can't do it
Long answer: It can be done but a skilled person would need to develop drivers to make it work.
In this day and age creating drivers to downgrade from 4.1 to 2.2 it's not worth the time it takes.
Factory Unlocking
Has anyone successfully factory unlocked the S3 mini SM-G730 att. Or even paid for an unlock code?
Hi! I am trying to recover via Kies, did the procedures dozen times but Always freezes and get error message. I am trying to get the original rom and install it via Odin but I can´t find it, the one I did was in hotfiles but it´s out by USA federal law. Question: can I use a T-mibile rom instead? I am using Tmobile anyway.
Thanks
As far as I know, there is no full Odin firmware package for the MJ5 as of yet, and we may not have one for a LONG time. We, proud owners of At&t Samsung Galaxy Note 3 who committed the ultimate SIN of attempting to downgrade to obtain root again with DeLaVega, are screwed for a while.
Sorry to hear you just joined our club..!
Correction: If you are still on MI9, you can, if you upgraded to MJ5...then NO

No. You shouldn't flash anything at this point, it may only worsen your situation. Best bet is to sit tight until someone finds the actual MJ5 Odin full firmware to restore your device. I haven't found any information on it yet, seems no one has.
I'm not sure if this is something im allowed to ask or not...
But are AT&T phones able to have roms from t-mobile etc? Right now im using Unity Rom V_2.1.3_G900A right now, But it seems to be draining my battery more than I need it too lol... I am fairly new here and the flashing roms scene and I love your guys work but it's a little confusing at times. I have soft bricked it a few times ha-ha... AT&T repair center loves me
Like could someone give me a good idea or list of what roms are the best? even your personal experiences?
Also i would kill to have a all black status bar.

The AT&T s5 has a locked bootloader so you won't be getting a lot of roms for it. DO not flash any rom for the tmobile, verizon or sprint variant of the S5. Always make sure that whatever you flash is for the device you have. As far as customization is concerned, rooting and using Xposed Framework works pretty well.

Actually you can flash any tmobile G900T 4.4.2 or international G900F Roms 4.4.2
What you cannot flash is any custom kernels or AOSP Roms so CM11 or CM12 Roms are out and you can't flash any 5.0 Roms the kernels are not compatible. A couple international G900F Roms I recommend are the Pyrana and BobCat Roms or ClinchL just make sure you pick the non aroma installer versions those first two Roms are fully themed and quite beautiful and run fantastic.
Make sure the very first thing you do is make a nandroid and flash away.

Because AT&T hasn't released Lollipop for the G900A and since the bootloader is locked you cannot flash a custom kernel.
You can only flash Roms that are compatible with G900A stock kernel
You need to do a lot more reading the questions you're asking have been answered many, many times here is a good place to start

Hey guys, do any of you know if we have root already for this version for Note5?
I found this the other day:

Thanks bro. I don't think I will risk it either. There are also no comments there that confirm that it works...
At the moment I don't have a real reason to root, but i'm sure I'll need it in the future. Hopefully we will have it soon.
Good luck!

Since you have the N9200 as well, could you do me a massive favor? I'm really dissatisfied with the scrolling behavior on mine. I've made a thread about it in the General section.
Could you let me know what software version you are on? Have updated to the latest one (N9200ZHU1AOI1)? But most importantly: do you notice stuttering behaviour in scrolling through apps like Google Play store, Youtube, Facebook etc...?
You can capture the behavior by following the steps described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/note-5-scrolling-behaviour-t3195672.

No problem, I'll try to get to it as soon as I get home, Going to Uni now.
Though I must say that I dont really use those apps because I live In china. If I use them I have to open Astrill VPN. I just Tried it with facebook, and it seems pretty smooth, except when it loads new content because of Chinas great firewall.
(Im also on the new version, but today I tried the "Package debloat" app from the Q&A section and disabled 150 or so apps)
So does anyone found any clue for N9200 root (OI1 firm) ???
Still no :\
@Seven Winds @tisfo @Willyman just got my device, im on it.
got twrp so far..
roots next..
then arter's kernel with dual sim intact..
Edit:
current progress and planned
unlock bootloader
install twrp
backup everything
reboot
notice GAPPS get removed when you unlock
verify my knox container still works (says KNOX has been locked contact your IT admin need to change lock type)
flash stock n9200 kernel with ',verify' removed (aka allows system to be mounted and modified, without this change a kernel cant boot a rooted system)
reboot and verify knox container still works (same message)
flash gapps reboot and verify
flashing back gapps didnt restore everything i was missing (looked like every app i downloaded from play store was also removed), so i reflashed the stock system i pulled out of odin tarball
restoring data
Damn im glad I backedup everything as soon as I got recovery, first boot after unlocked BTloader, it was next reboot that it deleted all my data ( so after reinstalling stock system and restoring my data, everything is back to how it was)
*** im here ***
twrp su root
reboot and verify knox container still works
flash arter kernel that I merged n9200 sources for dual sim support
reboot and test
(ii know knox wont work with any other customer kernel (i really want knox workspace with custom roms and plan on making it work)
Thank you gundal for your hard work!
I am using n9200 HK version. And I rooted my note 5 already!

Hi guys quick question I know there's a similar thread but there was no real answers to it so here goes. I've currently got a N950N KT branded note 8 that I'm using here in the UK. I got it imported as I really wanted the deep blue sea colour. Is there anyway I can install an n950F rom on this phone to remove kt branded boot logos and apps etc. Also so i can use samsung pay here too. If so can someone point me in the right direction to tell me how to do so ?
Thank you.

flash twrp follow the instructions, flash rom (950f works fine) then good to go
@masri1987
Any particular 950F rom? and which instructions?
I manually debranded mine but it took a bit of work.
If there's an easier way without having to use a custom ROM, I'm game to try again.

What @masri1987 is referring to is the ability to flash a custom ROM through TWRP. That should be fine.

Whoever said that was mistaken, they are literally the exact same hardware.
Odin won't let you flash OEM firmware from different versions, out of the box at least - so that might have been what that person was thinking of.
You can, however, very easily flash ROMs with TWRP and this works just fine between the N and F variants.
