At first you need unlocked bootloader to run a port of sprint. If have unlocked bootloader try the port on Tmobile thread.

You should never suggest that another user flash a ROM from another model of the S3. period. Unless it's a dlte build.

yup. this is ridiculous!!! never flash a rom not made for your device and carrier. you will brick your phone. can't port the sprint version as we don't have the updated firmware, kernel, and other carrier specific files to port the rom over. do not, repeat do not flash a rom from any another carrier

Hello all!
Seems a basic question and I did a search around, but didn't find a exact answer.
I have a Samsung Exhibit II 4G/T679 which came with carrier's ROM. So lots of undesired applications and some blocks (tethering, for example).
Instead of going to a modified ROM (which can be an alternative, of course), I'm wondering if there is available anywhere the official ROM release by Samsung for this model. Since there is the unlocked model from Samsung, I assume there is a official ROM from them (carrier independent).
Does anybody know where to download this official ROM?
Thanks!
If I am not mistaken, no. But we have some great Roms for this phone check them out. Trust me you don't want stock.

Thanks for your answer!
I wanted the stock mainly because some applications that I use explicitly say they don't run on "rooted or moded roms". So installing one of those customs roms would prevent me from using those applications. Maybe installing the stock one released by Samsung (on unlocked phones) the application would accept that.
Any idea or suggestion?
Seems obvious, but link was not so easy to find...
Here is the stock ROM for this model (attention: not carrier shipped, but manufactured shipped, rooted):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Exhibit_II_4G#Flash_Back_to_Stock
In my case it's still not the right solution since I have a carrier-shipped ROM and I would need to have this ROM back if they need to provide any service.

Because my phone has the carrier-custom ROM, not the clean manufacture one.
So if I have to send the phone back to carrier, they will notice the ROM was changed. This one I couldn't find...
I'm thinking about using CWM Recovery to backup the ROM. But... then the CWM will replace original Recovery System, so it's a signal that ROM was changed too...

It's my office app. Somehow they have explicit lock on custom or rooted phones (maybe for security). I already tried to install on another moded phone and it doesn't work. Only with factory or recognized ROMS.
I don't know how they identify that... but it happens!
I have an ODIN Stock ROM for the SE2, when thats flashed it takes away root and completly restores the phone to out of the box state.
want it?
The carrier is Tmobile.

Thank you very much. Did you produce this ROM? I was unable to find anywhere...
No I didnt.
Iv had it in my downloads folder foreverr and I use it alot for when I soft brick and need to use a jig.
Since the jig puts my phone into download/ODIN mode, Iv always saved that folder cause it is ODIN friendly.
Why don't you just flash to what ever you wont and not worry about it and then if you were to have to ship it back to to t-mobile just use the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Exhibit_II_4G and flash back to stock. Because I am sure that is what he is uploading.

I have searched far and wide and cannot find a bootloader unlock method that will work with the Galaxy S3 that has already been updated to official 4.1.2.
The EZ-Unlock app will not work for 4.1.2 (only 4.1.1 and before)
The open1your1eyes0 method that was updated in February 2013 does not work either: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114

Hi all.
I finally had to do a factory reset on my Verizon GS3. Poor performance and yellow factory mode text floating on screen.
I have obtained root access on the phone, however ODIN3 flashing a recovery image fails. My understanding is that I need the bootloader unlocked for that to work. Is there a reliable way to do that?

Your bootloader is locked forever, unlocking isn't an option.
If you want anything other than stock you'll have to use Safestrap recovery and modified stock ROMs like everyone else with locked bootloader Verizon S3.
Safestrap is deprecated. At least their site says dev. Has stopped. There's probably a fork of it on github somewhere, but any safestrap you find won't be by the original developer.

I don't know, I use the Verizon S3 ROMs on my device but it isn't a Verizon device, but I spend a lot of time in the Verizon S3 forum, I see new users looking to customize their device all the time.
Here's the download for it

Read this thread though, if you have encrypted your data, it will cause bootloop. Yes, it isn't supported anymore, BUT, the Safestrap still available still works.

I use it on Straight talk, my device is a Straight Talk S3 SCH-S968C that uses Verizon towers, my motherboard is actually stamped with the Verizon SCH-I535 model number, its rebranded as Straight Talk's device.

No, you can't flash AT&T firmware. That would surely brick your device. You can port the AT&T firmware somewhat easily, they are mostly the same but have different modems and a few other minor differences. I can link you to a thread for porting the US S3 variants.
No that's alright I'm on a note 3 anyway, but I've got a good place to start so thanks!

I tend to go for a generic ROM, so if there isn't one for your country then that's what I'd look for.

Now I have stock rom 4.4.2 and no root. Not shure if I dare to do more on my phone... Maybe I should stay with the stock android. But if I know myselfe well I most sertanly will do something with my phone. One thing I think is rare is that when booting it dont show that the knox is tripped... how come? It just start like it came from the factory.
Find a Stock ROM from Sammobile and split, then flash it with Odin. Find a detailed guide.

Do you know what that means? (on picture). how can we know the device is already unlocked bootloader?
That means nothing much, only that knox/firmware knows that you flashed odin or another ROM.
Go into the stock recovery and post a picture of that.
If it DOES NOT SAY NE1, your bootloader can be unlocked AFAIK.
If it DOES SAY NE1, JTAG is your only hope to downgrade(and it isn't worth it on a device this old imo)
