Have you rooted your phone, are you able to get tethering to work without a tethering plan?
Is there a stock rom for MTS available yet, I've searched but found few mentions of MTS
The Russian carrier? I doubt there are any MTS specific ROM's on here, but if your phone is unlocked it would work I assume as long as the frequencies are the same. You might need a different modem. I use Task650 4.1.2. ROM, and he has Russian built in as a system & keyboard language.
lol, yes, i got MTS , was just going to askthe same question
and no its not the russian one, MTS CANADA
just got my s3 3 days , and still didnt find a root!
Just found this and works http://androidjinn.com/root-galaxy-s3-i747m-vldlk4-android.html
All Canadian carriers of Galaxy S3 are using the SGH-I747M which is the SGH-I747 on AT&T. You can use Roms from AT&T Galaxy SIII sub-forums. I am currently on MTS here in Winnipeg with my S3.
naztybox, what root did you use??
If you want free-tethering, why not use FOX-Fi from the Google Play store? You don't even need to be rooted to use it.

I am on MTS also. I used the toolkit available from the AT&T forum to root my phone, install CWM, etc. The toolkit is the easiest to use. Just use option 53 for your device and it will work perfectly. Here is a link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665

To use tethering you just need to go into your APN settings for sp.mts and change APN type from internet + mms to interet mms and dun. The factory tethering app should now work!

I'm in Jamaica, and AT&T is not my i747's official carrier, so this wouldn't work for me.
Hey - new GS3 user on MTS. If any of the ROMs / Kernels are compatible with Rogers, would they also be compatible with MTS? I want to 100% confirm this before I start flashing anything new. I was able to root following the "Simple" root instructions posted in the sticky in this forum...
Yes they would. There are the same phones

Sorry for necroing a thread but did you guys have any problem with data usage after rooting? I can get my mts connection to make phone calls but my data usage does not work for internet.

Hey I had the exact same issue and I thought it was just the AOKP rom I put on my phone that maybe wasn't compatible with MTS so I tried Slimbean and same issue came up so after looking into it I found this and it works.
Google this "MTS APN" and the first link should be an MTS link saying "Using Non-MTS Devices | MTS" click on that one and follow what it says under Android Operating System.
I tried just posting the link but I can't until 10 posts to prevent spam.

unfortunately the bootloader isnt unlocked so we cant flash custom roms to the og pro...from other users it seems that that is true of the international versions as well. next time a lil digging might save u the trouble of asking. there is rooting available so u can make some tweaks...at least for the att version. havent looked into weather it would work on other versions, maybe a dev will answer that for u. as for the docomo gui, the simplest answer to that is just install nova launcher or go launcher or some other launcher and use those themes, i used to use go launcher a lot and it has tons of customizations and controls u can tweak.
That current root method should work for all versions of this phone.
Oh
Thanks for your answers,
1) so the versions for the F220K doesn't fit to the L-04e?
2) can someone give me a link to the root method? (i afraid to make mistake...)
3) the docomo is not only gui it takes control also on the Contacts and some of the features that google usually do.
Thanks!

Here it is
Flash a Korean Rom, by experience it's not dangerous to flash a wrong rom
Look on the forum to know how to flash if you don't found a thread you can test this method

thats the root for this device. again i would advice not to try flashing any roms...so far from whats been discussed in the bootloader unlock forum flashing will either brick ur device or it'll force a factory reset and all u'll do is wipe ur phone. we're almost to the point of being able to flash roms soon tho so give it a lil time. as for docomo pretty much trying to control ur phone, its still a droid, u can install apps to do cover everything pretty much. i rooted mine and loaded a different texting app and got rid of the one included by lg/att. as for contacts u can download different apps to manage contacts and dialers. i had mentioned go launcher before, they also have go contacts that is a customizable contact app, they hae their own text app too...so u dont have to use the docomo provided apps, even if u dont root it

That unroot method should work for all versions of the phone. If you do some digging you will find it is actually the same root method for the Optimus G.

Yes i tried, famaroot not working on this phone (((
Works for L-04e
Update, way too late. I got a message saying I had successful rooted. It in actuality had not worked. Still looking to root it.
Sorry for the incorrect information and late update.
Originally I wrote:
I just got root on an Optimus G Pro L-04e NTT DoCoMo. Followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946. It took me a couple of tries as I probably did something wrong, but I am now rooted.
I also tried FeeGee (paid version referenced in the above link) to get get the boot-loader unlocked. That hasn't worked for me. I started to do the more complicated manual version noted at the above link, but it looked like it was going to try to do the same thing and so gave up while I was still ahead.
I hope the bootloader unlock becomes available soon.
Thanks for the rooting information. i didnt try rooting yet.
i also hope that the bootloader will be unlocked soon
So i was checking out the virgin mobile website the other day and i stumbled on this:

yea thats a real big problem, very few phones from vm have development on them
ZTE is a company pretty much in the pocket of virgin mobile usa in the sense that they lock their devices boot system up so roming is a complete nightmare. check out the other zte branded devices by vm and youll notice outside of root..nothing has occured on those devices. and not for a lack of trying. the same goes with vm's kyocera branded devices. take a look at vm's dwindling line up of other manufacturers versus these "no brand" devices..most of them are zte or kyocera...avoid.
Root method?

Root for now. Might be all there will be. ZTE devices from virgin are notorious for protected boot...unless a damn good developer like jcase or someone that capable buys or has it donated,dont expect even a recovery for it.
Yeah I doubt any roms or recoveries will come out... I'm trying to mess with the WiFi tethering just haven't had any time...

Just got this too. Amazing phone for the price. Did you guys do the full root (part a) or partial root (part b), and which kernel did you have success with? Hopefully we can rom it later but just root access would be great to tether and root apps. Thanks for your help.

Literally just download that zip file and run it... do not do the kernel. This is only a root... I'm testing recoveries now...
As for the phone... it is wonderful! Just as fast as an sIII but much better pics and web browsing (and no touchwiz!!!). Its no s4 or htc one, but it is one great phone... only thing- touch buttons sometimes do not work well, especially with a case, but it will get better with more use...

Rooting
The software posted here worked perfectly. Just make sure you have the USB connection set to "connect to PC software" for it to work - otherwise the program just sits there.
Hooray for adblock!
Boot sound
Now with root I was able to remove the horribly annoying Virgin Mobile boot sound - it's located in system/etc -> Bootsound_virgin.ogg - I just added bak to it. Now quiet boot!
Rooted!!! So fast an easy glad I didn't buy another HTC

Hi! I just recently got my GS4 from MetroPCS (SGH-M919N) and I want to modify my device! I had a LG Optimus L9 before but couldn't modify it due to the locked bootloader. I'm not sure if my GS4 bootloader is locked or unlocked, so if anyone can help me out with that I would appreciate it.
I'm looking to root my phone and get a custom ROM on it, or stock 4.4 if possible (I have 4.3 right now). Can anyone point me to the right direction in doing all this?

It's not very hard to find the information you're requesting! Nearly all of the members of this forum SEARCHED and found the information you want, did it on their own, however it requires reading..... It would benefit you by reading, so that you understand all of the aspects of getting to your goal WITHOUT creating a BRICK! You would get the overall understanding of what the pitfalls are and the benefits as well. You could be spoon fed the single area that you can get the job done, but won't understand anything about what you're doing, or anything..... You won't be really able to choose any of the finer points of what you want the final product to be....
It's YOUR phone, and if you want to have the phone as YOU want it, would you not agree that'd be the best result?
Read, explore, and see what's available, and THEN, make your decision on what to do. I strongly advise you to do the "homework" on what avenues you have as options and you'll be better off in the long run. You are aware there is no "school" on how to do these things and just about all of the developers and tweakers on this forum READ to get all their knowledge on this wonderful phone....
Just my two cents and if you don't know how to search, here's an example using google:
Root SGH-M919N XDA<enter>
You'll be amazed how much information you'll find..... MUCH MORE than anyone could give you in a response to your question....
Good Luck and Aloha....
What Bobo is trying to say is that Google is your friend. Just add "XDA" to your search and you'll get more hits from xda - development

Stump won't root your G3? I thought it definitely rooted all our G3s. Does it just say it's incompatible? I'd go to the Stump thread and ask there, if that's true I'm sure JCase would like to know if he doesn't already.
