Since the AT&T GSIII) and T-mobile GSIII) are basically the same phone I wounder if the AT&T version will work on T-mobile 3G/4G. Similar to the way the AT&T Galaxy Note works on T-mobile 3G/4G. I was gone probably by the phone out right to use on T-mobile. AT&T has it for 550.00 where as T-mobile has it for 630.00.
I don't think so because att phone doesn't support mobile's aws band but idk if you could flash a modem. I did that on my note but the speeds were horrible. But yea t-mobile is expensive I just paid 680$ for my s3 today at my retail store..

I don't know, i'm wondering the same thing. the phones are identical. I think it's a very high possibility that there will be rom/radio/ kernal combinations in the future that will cater to t mobile radios that we will easily be able to flash. Just unlocked mine, I think i'm gonna have faith in US GSIII development, identical hardware and eventual full cross compatibility.
As far as I know, the Att has an lte modem and the tmo doesn't. I read that even when tmo launches LTE it won't work with the gs3. But, the tmo has att hspa+ support 1700mhz and should work with att 3g no problem.

The modem for lte or hspa+ is built into the msm8960. In theory they should be interchangeable
Would be interesting experiment for someone with rooted phone to try loading the alternative kernel/baseband then applicable sim.

What I don't get is why t-mobile would use a different chipset if the 747's msm8960 was compatible with 1700 aws. Especially since t-mobile is spending billions to refarm right now to make all gsm devices compatible with their network. It just doesn't make sense. Until there's confirmation, there are reasons to have doubts.

There are some reports on xda that t999 variant used the msm8260 which is similar chipset but NO LTE.
I would be interested in link wrt tsp attempt at baseband flash, especially which s3 was used.
I find surprising samsung would bother with these build variants.

He spoke about trying to flash the t-mobile s3 radio in another thread earlier with no results. Returned his and ordered the t-mobile variant. I ordered a skyrocket myself. So far it doesn't look good. But of course with radios nothing is concrete. All we can do is flash their files and hope something sticks.

Has anyone tried injecting the modem.bin of T999 to the i747M CWM flash ready file and has their phone network unlocked with T-Moblie/Mobilicity/Wind sim?
There are at least two "versions" of the MSM8960, one with the LTE support, one without. The TMO version has the MSM8260A modem, which can be verified with getprop from the terminal. In essence, the TMO version does have the newer S4 (Krait) CPU, but it does lack the LTE hardware. So, no, the phones are not identical. The TMO version does support AT&T HSPA frequencies though, but the ATT version does not (at least in the default configuration) support TMO HSPA frequencies. Whether that can be changed or not, I don't know.
From "getprop" in terminal:
ro.board.platform - msm8960
ril.modem.board - msm8260a
What does the AT&T version say?
When Amazon first posted the AT&T version on their site I read a review about it saying it would work on T-Mobiles network for voice but not data.

What they undoubtedly meant was that you would only get plain old GSM (EDGE, GPRS, etc.) with the AT&T version on T-Mobile, due to the lack of proper frequency support for T-Mobile's network. Still voice and data, just slow as hell by today's standards. However, the T-Mobile version fully supports AT&T frequencies for HSPA (no LTE though).

if you're only able to get Edge speeds on the ATT GS3 even after flashing a TMo Radio, then all hardware is not the same....it would mean that the actual radio hardware is different on their respective carriers. If you're still gettin edge speeds on TMo using an ATT S3 then that means the actual hardware doesnt have the required 1700 TMo 3g band...which is what I believe to be the case, if it works and I'm wrong then awesome but until someone confirms 3g speed on the 1700 TMo band then I'm gonna assume each carriers hardware is different...also something to keep in mind, those who flashed the TMo radio on an ATT Galaxy Note have reported bad battery life.

i didn't see a difference in my battery life while i had the note. + it was unstable at times due to the galaxy s2 being a completley different device.
There is a chance the S3 uses a different radio. I unlocked a One X this week & tried to get it to work on T-mobile. It did not pick up the signal . However, there are apparently two versions of the One X one with the 1700mhz band and one without. So it's kind of hit or miss on that device.

I had the same problem with a Tablet from China. it only had the 850/1900/2100 band. T-Mobile needs the 1700 mhz band as indicated above and the 2100 MHZ band for 3G. I could only get Edge from the other bands in that modem on that tablet.
So unless the ATT device has the 1700 band, you can not get t-mobile 3G. There are many different modem chips with and without some of these bands.

I believe the hardware allows it to use 1700 mhz but it is now simply a matter of enabling it on the phone. Waiting on OP's results before I make my purchase this weekend and thankful that he is trying it out.

It has been confirmed that an AT&T GS2 can work on T-Mobile AWS frequencies after replacing the baseband firmware with one from T-Mobile (and ensuring the device is carrier unlocked). I would assume then that doing something similar to an AT&T GS3 should also allow it to function on T-Mobile 3G or HSPA frequencies.
The hardware between the two devices are similar except that the SOC utilized on the T-Mo variant precludes LTE. Otherwise, the modems are functionally the same.
Doesn't work for the time being, i got unkown signal and phone refused to connect to network. Enabling it to work would require more than a flash of the modem.
More than likely the ATT device does not have 1700 band.

What do u base that on? The modem not working? That doesn't mean the hardware is not included. At&t's software could be programed to reject t mobile band modems.

I think the 1700 band is hidden really well if it's even there, so as of right now the hardware for the radio is not supported. Modems don't falsh over but Roms do, i am running a T-mobile rom right now on my i747. I tried flashing the modem and my phone wouldn't recognize any signal.

Yes. That's correct. TMO is deploying LTE on AWS 1700/2100 and use 1900(from ATT) for their H+ network. So that's why I'm a little confused here.
If let's say tmo finished upgrading, would the phone without 1900 band still be able to use the hsdpa+ network? I guess I have wait until they finish the upgrade.
I'm starting to believe Samsung are pushing these S3 phones away to release a newer S3 or something. $50 for a S3 with 2 year contract is ridiculously cheaper than any other recent phones on the market. It may be cheaper than S2. Companies usually do these type of moves when getting rid of something to present something newer (maybe the Note II) but to answer your answer, no. T999 doesn't support LTE but LTE does need AWS spectrum which T999 has.

I'm on a Tmobile Galaxy S3, in boston, getting 11Mb down on my phone with wifi turned off.
Ok ima try to keep it as short and simple as i can. I have a stock T-999 s3 tweaked to perfection running of Net-10 prepaid with the bring your own sim. Not only that I have it network unlocked so no matter what sim i place in weather its AT&T, t-Mobile, straight talk ect. i have service, each service i can critique to its best functions. Now heres my point. I also have a US Cellular galaxy S3 , rooted, and no matter what i do or try i cannot get this specific model to run a gsm provider via sim card. Im no wiz, but i get the idea, and my idea is to take this phone that is not supposed to operate on gsm carriers and make it operate. A recent example of success doing so was with my Droid Razr Maxx HD, i was able to successfully root the phone but as you all know verizon does not support us gsm carriers within the united states , or even on their network for that matter they block it. however after flashing a different modem, i am currently running t-mobile with great service! So any talk of "its impossible" i dont need, negitivity is not needed. i am fresh to this stuff but it fascinates me. cutting to the chase, what needs to be done to this sgs3 model #SCH-R530U to make it operate and function on a gsm carrier within the United states. Hacking Manipulating and tricking is all welcome that what were all about. Ive tried several things changing to global mode, gsm only,, faking gps positions to outside the u.s. and apn settings among countless hours beyond and im at a loss.. please im open to ideas and suggestions hopefully one day we make every model capable as nevery other
I believe the issue you are facing is because that particular S3 does not contain the necessary GSM radio chip needed to use those networks.
According to this (and its a wiki so it could be wrong):
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III
That S3 does not have any GSM bands for 2G or 3G.
However, once T-Mobile launches its 4G LTE on the AWS band, it should work...assuming the 4G network is both voice & data over LTE AWS.
The RAZR does work cause it does have the necessary 2G/3G GSM radio chip.

Simply put, the Verizon galaxy s3 is the only variant that has both CDMA and GSM bands. So if you wanted to do what you're saying, it would be most possible with the Verizon variant.
But for what you want to do, you'll need a world phone. And I believe the Verizon s3 is a world phone. Just gotta "hack" the GSM bands. Since they aren't active by default. But your T-Mobile att s3 will never work on CDMA. Also not lte will most likely not work on other carriers.

April Fools with a bricked S3! Don't know if I should laugh or cry...
Think the OP was just stating that his ATT S3 is working on TMO's LTE network...
The ATT has different hardware than the TMO S3...its not the radio software thats the issue...its the lack of a LTE antennae on the T-999
I believe the latest software update that tmo rolled out took out the LTE software that was in previous builds
While I don't thing we will get lte on our phones the thought of the hardware being different is hard to swallow. One of Samsung's deal with the s3 was hardware unity. With this they have one plant, one run to manufactur phones and when a carrier need a stock of phone all that was needed was software. This idea of a different model just for tmobile is hard for me to believe.
Once again I still don't see lte comung for us, so please don't assume I am giving any hope to get it

If ATT S3 LTE can work on TMOB LTE network and T999 with same chip as ATT version.
sounds like TMOB trying to prevent S3 user to pull down they trial run LTE network.
and also prevent those people not in those trial site switch over other carrier.
I thought this was confirm a long time ago that the tmobile s3 doesnt support lte, As of an unlock att s3 to work on tmobile lte may be possible. if that the case It will be better off to sale or trade your tmobile s3 with an att version of it and you will have a s3 with lte
There will be a new s3 lte version of this phone at the end of this month...the current s3 is not the same as the att one so we will not have lte...

Would it be better to get an international s4 and unlock to use on att or should I get an att s4 instead?

you can get one from att cheaper subsidized but you will be locked in for two. years.. If you use lte you only have a choice to get att version as internation will not work with let..
The International has an octacore while the att will only have a quad because of lte

Not true. Some international markets will receive lte versions. I'm unsure of the processor included with them. It seems Europe is starting to upgrade their networks to lte

Correct. You will have to be knowledgeable of the different model numbers (i95XX,etc) and know which one(s) are lte. I'm not sure of any of these devices hardware spec differences yet. Soon.
Locked since its not related to ATT SGS3. Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192630
