You need to have the sim unlocked for different carriers. Either call your service provider and request the unlock code or you will have to pay to have someone do it. But if you root your i727 and try and put ROM's made for the T989 you will have lots of problems. You NEED to have the SIM UNLOCKED to use on different service providers.
No matter of rooting and flashing roms will help.
yes i understand having it sim unlocked. Im asking if because i read that you need to flash a T989 Modem and Rom (of t989) and kernel of i727 for it to work on T-Mobile.

If your sim is unlocked already you just need to flash roms and radios that are for the i727 and you would need to change your apn settings to which every ccarriers setting you plan on using.
If you flash a kernel made for the t989 to your i727 then you better be prepared to have a brick

i've installd the newest cyanogenmod rom on my skyrocket along with just about every radio that claims to work with AWS/T-Mobile. For whatever reason I cannot get Wind Mobile to work properly. SMS and reception are just fine, but when I made voice calls the outgoing audio gets all garballed up while incoming is perfectly clear. Any idea what is causing this?

Hi, I might have a chance at getting a deal on a SGH-T989D from a former Telus customer. But almost all the roms here are described as being for the SGH-T989. Are these phones not the same where you can run the same roms? Definitely don't want to buy a phone that has no developer support even if the deal is good.
It can run the same rom.

If you are on TMO you should be able to flash a TMO radio without any issues as well ..... as long as the phone is UNLOCKED ...

I'm using the Telus version (T989D) and as far as I can tell, the only difference is the button combo to get into download mode. I've flashed a number of roms from this sub forum and they don't work any differently.

Mainly to differentiate from the i9100 SGSII variants.

It's really hard to get the ICS ROMs to work sometimes. They seem to be pretty finicky. I've read some users have had to do a Superwipe, flash the ROM, then wipe the data and cache again and reflash.
I can confirm that Racing's, RaverX3X's and the Cleansed ICS are all capable of running on my T989D.

Yes of coarse, believe me I love Telus ROM better. well not just ROM, the exterior of T989D looks even much better as hideous T-mobile logo is nowhere to be found.
Since I am on T-mobile network, I just wanted to try T-mobile stock from the core. Reinstalling drivers now, before reflashing odin.

I flashed Telus Stock now and then rooted it again. It's running flawless.
Too bad I can not try T-mobile wifi calling. I never use wifi calling on other capable phones anyways but I wanna have all the options available
Please let me know if any Telus owners out there who have successfully odin flashed T-mobile original stock unrooted on their S II X.

Hi, If you want to enable T-mobile wifi calling you can pull the kernel out from the tar.md5 by using 7-zip and/or WinRAR. You should see boot.bin and or boot.tar that will have the kernel modules KinetoGAN required for wifi calling. You should be able to fine a flash package in the T-mobile section that will enable the RIL switch. I would suggest this process:
Flash stock Telus
Flash CF root
Flash RIL package for T-mob
Flash the bin file you extracted from the T-mobile ROM package
Run the CF-unroot script.
Done!
PS: I stumbled across this whilst looking for info in the SGH-T989 for making a kernel for a non-developed Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G/LTE...I know a little about wifi calling so thought I would throw that in there for you goodluck
As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.
Also wind mobile an Tmobile are interchangeable, just don't flash the modems.

I second this, guys PLEASE don't risk it. It is not worth it. Right now I think most devs are working on their own ROMs, but we should have a patch soon to allow cross-compatibility.
think some peeps are confused by whats before tmo development. (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III) just my opinion but good idea on thread.
Mr Highway:
Could you start another thread for Windmobile Android Development?
In the past all Windmobile phones are just T-mobile phone rebadge.
In this case, it does not in terms of kernels....(and may be baseband)
I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

I keep seeing posts about ROMs that can work on these variants of galaxy S3s. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the ROMs supposed to be specific to GSM or CDMA? When I flashed windows based roms on my touch pro II, that was one of the things to look out for. Is it possible to create a ROM for all carriers?

Yes and no.
With the use of aroma-installer, we could set it up to detect your phone type (well, not we....I don't know that much about it but I saw the thread discussing this) and aroma would be able to install the necessary files based on your phone.
As of now, for instance, mine works across all GSM carriers. clark44 is current working to get everything switched up so it also works for Sprint (mostly appears to be the apk files and XML files) that are specific to the phone. As of now, he has it booting and working fine except there is a large rush of FCs on initial bootup but then everything runs fine.
I wasn't even aware you could make a patch to allow cross-compatibility! XDA never fails to surprise
Just a thought, but maybe they could do it like the SlimROM on multiple devices. He has a common base ROM and another flashable for each device supported. It works out perfectly and multiple ROMs for multiple carriers.
I figure it will be easier than doing it for different devices since I read that all the US variants are essentially the same. Not sure but worth a look.

Does anyone think that someone with a SGH-T999V Wind Mobile variant will ever be able to root their phone so they can overclock the cpu, etc?
Why not? I am using a custom rom and overclocked to 1890 at the moment.
Just use the windows way to root. I knbow it works
I have not tried the toolkit.
If you are going to flash a custom rom just make sure it does not contain the boot, modem and amss file in the rom that you are flashing.

What if you accidentally tried to flash i9300 rom and your phone is not turning on.
With the forums changed I accidentally flashed the wrong version rom on my phone. :crying:

Thanks for the link, unfortunately the phone will not go into download mode for odin, it won't even turn on.
After doing some research it looks like I have to fix it through jtag.
I think I could do it, but you need some expensive jtag box that connects to the computer(It's called the Riff Box), but it would be cheaper if I just sent my phone into here it costs $60. Not ideal, but not a complete disaster either. Unless there is some other way to JTAG I am out of options.

Hi I't what I did first I I had to change the sim size (previous GS II, which modem was working)
I've checked again just before posting this question, all seems to be Ok from them
The message is " Non available data or non valid sim"
I've seen on forums that the at&t modem is locked for at&t network only
May only the phone setting is unlocked but not the modem ones?
Or should I flash and other Rom (Noterious or n7105?

Hey there guys,
I looked everywhere to find the answer to this question, but I have yet to find it. My roommate just bought an unlocked ATT Galaxy S4 and he has T-mobile service. However, he doesnt get wifi calling and that feature is vital. So here is my question:

From my research (due to the exact same issues), the ATT s4 has different radio hardware, so it wouldn't work, at least not with a stock T-mobile rom.

But if I flash the tmobile radio or the modified att radio with AWS enabled, I should be ok right? The thing I worry about the most is bricking the device via odin flash.
There are threads about applying an AWS patch to AT&T phones to make them work on T-Mobile's network. I have not personally tested but was under the impression the radio hardware was ok it was more of a matter of TMo using one frequency for download vs upload on AT&T (or vice versa). A TMo sales rep told me he did that on his girlfriend's phone (which is an S3) and got it to work fine.

Don't Odin flash different variant's 100% stock images. If it's a CWM/TWRP flashable ROM you won't have any problems so long as you use the AT&T kernel. Flashing other variant's radios/firmware may cause problems. With you having an AT&T device, use modem/baseband/firmware. The AT&T AWS Enabled Radio can be found here
I have been searching the web for long time try to find the exactly same answer, but I haven't found any reliable source on it. If anyone has tried this and work, please post a guide here for us, thanks ahead!

I had the boost variant..now its my mothers..lol
But yes you can flash any sprint rom just fine..i also found that i had better service with sprint modems. Although it only goes one way with the modems. Boost can use sprint..but sprint i dont think can use boost.
And you will need to change your apn's to have data and mms working. There are different ways to do this, depending if you flash touchwiz or a cm, aokp, aosp based rom.
A quick google should supply the boost apn settings… as i dont remember all of them. And there are guides, myself and others here to help with the how to if you need it.
There was a zip file to fix boost apns at one time.. but i think it became outdated or unusable..as i had it but always just edited them myself. Its very easy.
Link to the old mms fix zip for boost. Not sure if its still viable. But my mother has this device and i will be at her house next monday. So i can post her mms settings then..if you need them.
