Hey, people!
I have an unlocked SGH-i747 I got last week. Today I tried to enable USB tethering, but I got the message "Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM"; same thing happens if I try to enable Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
¿Any solution to this? I know I will probably have to root the phone, that's no problem.
Thanks!
Bone stock? You got to pay for it stock. Flash a custom ROM, it should work.

Yeah; I didn't know AT&T does that for tethering. I just flashed a modified stock ROM with the tether fix and that worked out pretty well.
Thanks!
Which ROM

I have same problem.. Please help me to do this
I have AT&T device, rooted and unlocked on another provider; also build-in tether does not work.
But it is working over 3rd party free (donate) application "Wifi tether" for rooted devices.
EDIT:
I double checked now, and it does not transmit any data over "Wifi tether" application. Sorry, it does not work....
How do you do flashing of the SGH I747

How do I do the flashing and which modified stock ROM with the tether fix did you use? I would appreciate your help. Having the same tethering problem.
Guys, please, do your homework.

Okay, so the question I have for OP is -- do you have network data turned on?
"Mobile data is not available" << means that data is turned off. Turn data on, then try to enable hot spot, then that should work.
http://www.marksatterfield.com
Mark, are you serious?? Of course I have network data turned on! Why would one try to share a disabled connection?
And always remember to read the whole message: "Mobile data is not available OR invalid SIM."
Have you guys tried pdanet? I've used it on stock and haven't had an issue with it.

I have the same issue, get the no mobile data or invalid sim with the built in feature. Tried different 3rd party apps and I get the same message with those. Tried the tether unlocker and that didn't work either. Even did the tethering provision file replacement and it still does the same thing. Contacted Rogers and I have tethering feature. My phone is a AT&T GS4 unlocked.

Please be careful in flashing... thanks for enewman17 ive successfully enable my wifi tether..
I have successfully enable wifi tethering in AT&T SGH-I747 by flashing modified framework-res.apk. It is for Android 4.4.2
I flashed my Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T SGH-I747 and Wifi Tethering is working fine.
This is for AT&T SGH-I747 with Android 4.4.2 and with Baseband Version i747UCUFNJ1.
Download it. Once download you need to flash using any custom recovery.
Though it is not required but it is always advised to take complete backup of the device. Also, you need to try at your own risk. If you brick the phone, I won't be responsible. I flashed my phone and everything looks good.
Feel free to donate if it help.

I have a Samsung I747 with 4.4.2 not rooted, what version of PDANet are you using, I can get mine working?
okay now normal i wouldnt ask this and assume a no but the guy at the cricket store specifically told me dont factory reset or ill loose my flash now normaly this guy is an idiot but i figured i'd check here
when i root my phone and flash a custom rom will i loose my flash if so is there any way to back up the files/transfer them too the new rom or a super easy way to fix the flash if it is broken any help is appreciated im on android 2.3.2 and seriously wanna change to cm 7 or 9 asap
What do u mean by flash?... If u ment the little led light on the power button that depends on the rom you want to flash... Most gb roms if not all support that feature... Don't know about ics roms.

Make sure the custom roms support CDMA otherwise your sol. It wont matter if you flash a custom rom because you will lose your phone service anyways. Depending on your custom rom of choice prior to installation most custom roms only support GSM carriers not CDMA.

Haha my bad...
its cool but i still need my problem answered
The answer is yes. But to sav that u only need to backup ur data via clockworkmod. After the backup u can restore ur data back into ur new rom. But since u're on GB that data u backed up earlier won't work on ics/jb. So the best option is to sav ur carier apn & all onto a paper so u can re-enter it manually. I think thats it.

Hello Everyone,
Please excuse me, I am a noob here. I recently purchased a Boost Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3, and I wanted to flash a new ROM onto it.
It was my understanding that the Boost Mobile and Sprint versions of the GS3 had the same model number, and therefore were able to be flashed with similar ROMs.
I have gotten this far: - I was able to root it, confirm that it was rooted, and installed CWM touch recovery v6.0.1.2. But when I downloaded a ROM (for example - TheCollective ROM), I am receiving a "status 7" error, the same error that as on this page - http://highonandroid.com/android-roms/how-to-fix-status-7-error-with-cwm-recovery-on-rooted-android/
After following the instructions, I tried to reflash the same ROM and now I am getting an "installation aborted" error. I couldn't find anything that would work on it. I would be really greatful if anyone can guide me to solve this.
Thank you for your help.

Sprint could have blocked this from happening very easily since Boost runs off of Sprint's towers. Im not gonna guarantee it, but you could try to downgrade your radio to something like LG2, then try to flash a custom ROM, then upgrade your radio back. What baseband does about phone section say you have?

The Baseband Version is: L710VPAMG2.
How could I downgrade my radio to LG2? Is that hard to do? Is it done via ODIN?

Looks like you can't, I'm glad i asked you to post your baseband. That baseband is not in the list of radios for the Sprint GS3. You can take a look HERE. Its probably similiar, but not similiar enough.

I wouldn't, would probably render your phone useless. Seems like I read a thread where Sprint blocked this from happening with an update to Boost GS3s, but I can't locate it. If I find it, I'll post it for you here.

Plain and simple, Verizon WILL NOT add ESNs to their network. This is impossible to do legally.
Plus you cannot add a GSM phone without CDMA capabilities to a CDMA network, no matter which one.

It can be a somewhat confusing process, see if I can find an easier method, often harder than rooting or adding custom roms.

You may be better off to find a shop in your area that has experience doing this kind of thing. To me, its not something that can be explained in depth over the internet. I was gonna say, if you've never rooted or flashed a custom recovery/ROM, then this is definitely something you shouldn't attempt. You could seriously ruin your phone.
Your radio, also known as modem or baseband, is what allows your phone to connect to the network for calls and data and such. Think of a computer modem.

I said I was gonna try to locate an easier method for the unlocking process, there is no easier way. I can't explain all this here. Mods don't want this kind of stuff to be repeated over and over in multiple threads. You have to be rooted 1st, then flash custom recovery(TWRP or CWM), then find lg2 modem files HERE and flash it. Then proceed with next steps. Like I said, if have no experience with rooting/recoveries(this is the easy part), then you may not be able to do this. Good Luck.
