Friend of mine bought the AT&T version of the SG2 and wants me to root it and put on a custom ROM. Anyone have any suggestions? i'm not familiar with that version of the phone and even all the build designations are completely different. Any help is appreciated guys!
Don't you think the people in the AT&T GSII forums would be better suited to help you out?
Find out whether its a skyrocket or the international version. Then look in the forums for that

Can anyone tell me if there is any difference between the Epic 4G Touch and the US Cellular version of our phone.
I'm trying to introduce a friend to rooting and I can't find any forums for US Cellular models.
I do not want to steer him to the wrong info.

Wrong forum this is the OG with hardware keyboard. You need the Epic touch section.

Wrong Forum, bro. This is for the OG Epic with a keyboard.
Here is a root guide. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19979-us-cellular-galaxy-s-ii-root/
yeah, don't know how I did that...guess while I was looking forgot to get back to my section
Thanks.
Hey all, atm I use the stock rom, rooted for tmobile. (Stock rom isnt that bad for JB tbh.. to my surprise) However I just switched to ATT, waiting on my nano to micro adapter to come in so I can switch back to use it. Now as far as I read, I should have the 3g and 4g bands just fine, I just wont have LTE on ATT, correct? Next up, aside from using titanium backup to force uninstall TMOs software, was wondering, should I change out my rom too or is stock still cool to use for ATT?
That or what is everyone else doing if they took their S3 to ATT or tweaks that could help for network speed etc. That or apps that are good for ATT on it. Thanks.
Anyone? Or is there no tweaks or more ideal rom builds. Atm I mange to get 3-4 Mbps download speeds. Not sure how fast Iphone 5 gets.. Didnt test and dont feel like taking the sim out again tonight lol.
As suggested by the ATT S3 section of the forums, Ill put my post here too with more details on what I could be looking for.
Hello, Just changed from Tmobile to ATT. I already unlocked it, and am running it on 4G. Sad part is, download is only like 1-3 Mbps it seems. While my Iphone 5 can get close to 7 Mbps (Now this is just 4G band, NOT LTE)
So I am wondering if there are some tweaks I need to adjust in the build.prop or anything else. Atm I just use the stock rom thats rooted. (Since it seems nice enough for JB and honestly, I havent figured out which custom rom beats the stock rom 100% without losing any features.
Also noticed I cant install the ATT Visual voicemail as it claims device isnt compatible. (Which that I am sure I can use a build.prop edit for the model. Question is, which model and items do I need to adjust and to what value?)
Anyways, if anyone has some good advice about using the tmobile S3 on ATT and getting it tweaked to be the best it can be, or a rom that is perfect for switching between ATT and Tmobile (should I use my prepay tmo sim in it again) and provide high data speed. Would be great.
Oh also.. just so I know. Can I use the ROMs posted in this ATT section of XDA for the t999 tmo s3 or do I need to still only use roms from the tmo s3 section of xda? Thanks. =)

Not sure about the other stuff, but with regard to this, your phone is still a t999 no matter what carrier you are with. Hardware doesnt change, so I would recommend you stick around in the tmo section.
Some att ROMs may work, but not sure which, so if you DO want to use an att rom, I would suggest asking the dev if it will work for the t999.
Sorry I couldnt answer about the rest, im too noobish for all that

Yea thats the trick, Seems its hard to even find that advice lol. I mean long as I dont use the international s3 roms. Just between Tmobiles and ATT. I dont know. I dont even know if its considered the same model and could use the same rom. Perk of using an ATT rom, may increase my network speed some along with being able to use their apps. Atm I cant use the ATT Visual voicemail since it says my phone isnt compatible. Which I know I could prob bypass that with the build.prop provided I knew which model to make my phone.

Probably you are better off posting this in TMo section too... cos there would be higher chances for finding someone who already tried putting the AT&T version of ROM on his TMo phone.
Posted there too, not much luck on responses yet. So figured maybe this side knows more. I dont even know if one can use the ATT Xda rom side for the tmo s3 for example. Was there any hardware differences (aside from the radio since I know tmos doesnt have LTE) Also what is the model for ATT s3 for the build.prop?
Anyone least know if the roms in ATT section would even work on the Tmobile model? Kinda thinking I should switch out and have all the setups and apps for ATT.
I have searched and found mixed info nothing concrete and I want to confirm before moving forward again. I rooted and installed a custom rom when I first got my S3 and it broke 4g. I searched and searched and found out 4g broke and wasnt figured out at that time..
Is 4g runnin solid on custom roms on the S3 now with custom roms? I would love to have a custom rom again but fear if I lose 4g I cant trade out my phone with Tmo again.
I assume you meant you lost your IMEI and only had edge. there is a fix for that and all custom rkms have the capability of having "4G"
T-Mobile SGS III
rock on! is the fix integrated or separate? link if not integrated if not too much trouble!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804123 just do that for a backup and flash away after that. If you ever notice the 4g issue check your imei and if it is 0 then use that guide to get it back.

I've been reading and it seems there are a couple of methods to enable LTE on my original T999 now on T-Mobile. But like most threads there is a lot of conflicting information.
Had anyone successfully enabled LTE on a SGH-T999 from T-Mobile? The first generation?
Searching the threads is so confusing, some say yes, others say no.
I'm on T-Mobile U.S.A.in Dallas TX, and have a 18 month old S3, one of the original ones. Currently running DarthStalker Rom...but only get 4G. Would love to get LTE!
Thanks for any guidance.
Pretty sure the phone is lacking the hardware for it (no LTE chip).
Its impossible..
