I have been searching around, and I have seen a Bell ROM and Rogers, but no Telus. If someone could find me the Telus ROM and prefer it rooted, that would be awesome.
Thanks for your help.
You really haven't been searching hard then.. I found this by searching 'telus root' in the dev section in like 30 seconds . I knew about it cause I used it to restore to stock by flashing the stock telus kernel over it.
anyways good luck
[ROOT]For TELUS Note (i717D) - No Flash Counter
Thanks, but I did use the search, and many times using terms like telus odin, telus rom, telus stock rom, etc... anyways, I missed it, thanks

We have like 3 different tutorials for different providers and an actual guide, but at least you contributed something.
Hey Guys. I just wanted add this information here to make it easier for other Virgin customers. You can root your Virgin SGH-I747M by using the Bell ODIN tar file in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426. The first post in this page also give you information on installing CWM. I used the CWM that works on all SG3 variants and have no issues so far or trip my flash counter.
For custom roms, you can install anything that is OK for Bell. Virgin and Bell have pretty much the exact same firmwares which is why there isn't a separate thread for Virgin phones. If it works on Bell, it will work on Virgin. I am currently using kyanROM 1.12 and it flashed without tripping the flash counter. I will try other roms and see how it goes.
This is just to help those who are searching around but cannot seem to find the answers. If you have issues with flashing or any other roms, you should get in touch with the developers and they will be able to help you. This is just to give you my experience of what I have done so far and my results. As always, search before posting. Good luck guys and practice safe and smart flashing
Hey guys, got my S3 here, and need to flash it back to the stock rom due to selling it.
The buyer knows its rooted, its currently running CM10
All that i need to do is flash it back to stock, no un-rooting, triange away or any of that stuff.
Where can i find the stock rom for Australia? already checked the stickys and threads with all the stock roms, but they have almost every other country.
Is flashing the stock rom the same way as doing a custom (after the rooting?)
Done heaps of custom roms on >5 phones, but this is the first time going back
TLDR, i9300 Australian phone, VODAFONE. Need to flash back to stock rom, but dont need to unroot, currently on CM10
Thanks
EDIT: Someone else posted an almost identical thread to me, 6 min before this one. Ill copypaste this to that thread, thanks

Hi Looking for a bit more information after reading for a few days on rooting and unlocking and best rom for telus i717d.
Ok 1st off ROOTing, do i really need todo a nocount root on the telus i717d? as a JIG will reset count anyways? i know its easier todo now. on 4.0.4 now so can use the nocount method. Just wondering if the need for odin, or can use sd card to root.
As for unlocking, is there a way for free, I know i can download from marketplace apps for samsung unlocks ( mostly galaxy, some say works others say no--really don;t wanna waste 2 hours than finding out have to buy ) but 90% plus posts here all point to provider or a reseller of unlocking codes......Anything Bell/Telus seems to be around $20 on ebay.....
Also, what is the best ROM to use, CM seems like standard for any android phone, looking for performance and most tweaks.
I also read that the i717d from telus has issues when unlocked keeping APN settings for certain providers ( koodoo for example ) ( is there a known solution for this ? )
Thanks in advance.
You do need odin to root. As far as nocount....it is up to you. But Canadian phones usually require another step in getting the custom recovery to stick. Look here:

If you want to sim unlock your phone for free then look here:

Best ROM is whatever works for you. Could be stock, CM, or whatever. 10 people will give you 10 different answers. Best to experience for yourself.
If you want to not have issues with your APN then write it down and you can enter it into the new ROM if not included.

Thanks for the info, didn't see custom recovery to stick issue in my previous research so will read up more on it.
The unlock linked looks easy enough.
I know what you mean about ROM's but seeing as so many out there I guess I will have to play with them each for a while.
Can you flash I717 ROMs on the Telus I717D? I'm having a hard time finding any ROMS to flash on my buddy;s phone. I use Nexus devices, myself so this is never an issue. So far I have rooted his phone, added CWM recovery and SIM unlocked it. I also flashed a baseband from the TMO S2. (Someone in another thread said it works really well for them, and it seems to get good 4G signal, though it also seems to have wifi issues now lol.. but I'll come back to that when I see him again)
Anyway, if you can't flash these ROMS on the Telus variant, can someone point me to any that you CAN flash on it? Thanks!
I must tell him to stick with Nexus phones lol
Hello, I got my girlfriends phone rooted and all that good stuff. It is currently running CyanogenMod12 from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod12-20141203-t2963804 . She doesn't like the lay out of the rom and it drains the phones battery very fast. What other variants of roms are compatable with this phone? I am only familiar with my galaxy s5. So I'm looking for some help. I need a rom thats compatable Im guessing probably one better or just as good as cyanogen, and lastly if I can not find a rom that we are happy with can anybody give me a link so I can odin a stock rooted file? Just to go back to stock root. I have scoured the forum there are so many variants of this phone.
