If I get the gs3 from metropcs will I be able to install roms from here onto the phone? I see there's roms and stuff for sprint and other carriers but nothing really about metro so any info about what I can do with the metro version of the phone would be helpful because I might buy it.
This forum is for I9300 only so unless that's the model you buy the answer is no .###
jje
Can anyone point me to where i need to go to find info out about what I can do to the metropcs gs3 when it comes to rooting and installing clockwork mod and roms

At the thread everyone keeps linking for stock ROMs, http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 there are NO US stock ROM's, let alone for my carrier, T-Mobile.
What's up with that?
Also, when I try to dial the *#1234# it from that post, my phone says Unable to Process Request, so I can't do that to help find the right ROM.
None of the US carriers use the original I9100 hardware, so they have their own ROMs and their own forums. For example, the Galaxy S 4G forums are for T-Mobile USA's variant of the Galaxy S II; you should be able to find ROMs there that will work on that device.
Got it thanks!

Hey guys. I couldn't get AT&T to unlock my s3 so I downgraded to android 4.1.1 to do the free unlocking method. It worked, but my phone has AT&T apps in it, and when updating it says crap like updating from AT&T server or w/e.
When using ODIN, was I supposed to install the AT&T or the T-Mobile version of the 4.1.1 android?
I figured since it's an at&t phone I have to reinstall the at&t so it doesnt mess up the drivers or anything (I totally made up that conclusion myself).
Also, I don't get 4g LTE now and only get E internet. Do I have to do some settings so the phone cooperates with T-Mobile?
As always, thank you very much for the helping hands.

You're probably going to need to setup the apns for Tmobiles network to work for your phone fully.
It automatically made one called tmobile but I dont know if I have to edit it.
Was I supposed to install android 4.1.1 for at&t or tmobile?

As far as i know you should be fine on the at&t rom, You're just going to need to edit those apns probably.

Well, how about this? I install the T-Mobile rom. Shouldn't that have the proper apns?
Now another question comes to mind. Since this is originally an at&t phone, will installing the T-Mobile rom mess it up?
Anyone? Help plz
1st post here so hope this is the right place to ask this and please be gentle
I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300, running stock 4.3, I9300XXUGMK6
I want to install a custom OS on my S3. The phone is almost out of contract, 3 years old and is running really slowly on the stock rom with awful battery life (I have tried a new battery). I previously rooted and installed custom roms (cyanogenmod, slimkat) on an old i9000 and was blown away by the massive improvement in speed and battery life. If I get the same benefits with the i9300 then I will keep this phone and go sim-only rather than getting a new phone. The i9000 was unlocked...I guess I need to check the i9300 is too?
As far as I can tell I need to root using Odin 1.07 and Philz Touch recovery. However, I am confused about what version of S3 Virgin UK provide- I have found guides on how to root and install custom roms on Virgin S3's but they refer to models such as Sprint or SPH-L710- I'm not sure what I have, how to check or how this differs US to UK. I have searched on here and more widely and cannot find an answer to this.
Recommendations on what custom OS to install also welcomed
If it says i9300 under the battery then it it's the standard international model, you can flash anything from this forum. Carrier firmware usually add bloat and modem, you won't miss anything from it.
Unlock is by paid for code, don't try to do it free as that usually ends up with a brick, unless virgin supply unlocked handsets.
Follow the guide in general forum, sticky thread on how to flash custom recovery then custom rom. Root isn't needed if you are going to custom rom, they all come rooted.
I tried flashing several custom roms on my Ntelos S6 Edge but all of them were for other models and I can't seem to find one for the SM-G925R7. They boot up and work perfectly except that they don't detect my SIM card. For some reason I also can't find the right firmware to flash it back to stock. If anyone could point me toward a custom rom that would work, the stock firmware, or anything that could help my problem it would be greatly appreciated. Also if I used any incorrect terminology or anything like that please forgive me as I'm not the most knowledgeable in this sort of thing.
How did you root it? I can't find the solution anywhere.
Try roms for Sprint S6 Edge since your carrier is based on CDMA network.
Any GSM rom you flash will not have correct mobile network settings for CDMA.
I have the entire firmware uploading if you still need
what roms have you tried ?

Ill have a look around for you mate, but to be honest I've never heard or seen any custom roms for g925r4 model.
What i would do if i was you would be to take the phone to a shop and trade it in for a G925F so many roms for this model
