Hi I have i747m (rogers version, canadian) that I have unlocked.
Currently, I am using it with straight talk service (at&t//t-mobile)
However, I get really ****ty 4g service and I feel like maybe this is because of the modem that is currently in place (i guess it would be rogers modem)
Would it get better network service if I change the modem? should I just flash modem from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898 ?
so first, should i root it using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and use roger's version?
Thanks so much for your help guys!

I am potentially purchasing a Koodo locked S3 (SGH-I747M) and want to unlock it and put in my Rogers LTE SIM card. Will this work, and will I have LTE connection?
Does anyone know if these are IDENTICAL phones with the exception of the stock ROM/bloatware and carrier lock?
Lastly, will this Koodo SGH-I747M be able to run most any CM rom? My S2-LTE is awesome on CM10.1.2 and I want a similar rom on this S3 if possible.
Quick ASAP answers GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

Had anybody been able to flash the Hong Kong T705 update to a Canadian T705? The Canadian model is SM-T705W vs SM-T705 (US and most of the world)... I haven't been able to flash ANY T705 firmware other than the Canadian firmware which is kind of old (Even the KitKat rom).
Any ideas??
EDIT: My tablet is locked, currently waiting for an unlock code. But can't seem to find any info on whether or not this will actually make a difference.

Your best bet is to sell off your Canadian version for a dirt cheap price on ebay and get an International SM-T705 version instead, as firmware updates for localized versions are usually wayy too long to wait or nonexistent.
If you have any trouble with your unlock code go to cellunlocker.net
They had me my code in two hrs and it worked first try.
No BS, no runnarround.
this is how I unlocked my T705W
Cheers!

Joe... Did unlocking the tablet allow you to flash an international T705 firmware? Like the HK Lollipop update? Or are we still stuck with the KitKat 705W firmware?
Not the international one but I did flash the IronRom V1.1.5 T705. This broke my imei and gave me null/null.
The rom worked but radio did not. So I flashed back to stock and radio came back.

Did you try flashing the HK firmware or just the Ironman? Appreciate the replys as this is currently driving me crazy. I bought this tablet 3 weeks ago thinking I would be able to flash Lollipop, only to find out that our Canadian LTE models seem to be locked down and will probably never receive the Lollipop update...

just the Ironman. Patience young grasshopper
For this device it is a bit late, but I notice curous behaviour from observed lte speeds on the SM-t705w klimtkltecan; at leatst my hardcopy of the kilmtkltecan on a t-mobile sim seems to have up/down speeds throttled at 0.5 mbps each on the ookla speed test. Another curious thing is that klimtltecan is the only klimtelte with a upgraded bootloader SW ver 2 with downgrade not possible. Another curious thing is that the kitkat modem does not beget a recognised sim (at least with upgraded lollipop bootloader). Another curous thing unique thist his post in regards to klimtltecan on xda is that it shares a mostly compatible kernel with chagallltecan (sm-t805w), whihc is reason klimtlte roms dont boot on klimtltecan. So, lots of questions there are. Most of all i can't believe the throttleing bs.
So, cna i ask what everyone's speed resutls are on this device sm-t705w klimtltecan?
thanks.

alright, so today i restored my tmobile galaxy s4 to 4.4.2 stock, I did that AWS stuff... and when i inserted my WIND sim card, it puts me into the "AWAY" network.. Now if i want to select another network I get Telus, Rogers, Bell.. NO WIND!
Before I did the AWS thing, I only had AWAY, AWAY, AWAY
(I restored the s4 to 4.4.2 because the wizcyan rom didint make my pc detect the com ports)
please help with me, im not the best with android but i know my way around things usally
this phone worked with other networks like Chatr, T-Mobile (obviously) Rogers, and fido
also its rooted
Which aws thing did you do? I believe the wind and T-Mobile s4 is the m919. It's possible that the phone cannnot connect to the wind towers in your area.
I'm not sure where you are located but many people on different forums complain about wind's poor signal and coverage.
the one where you flash the qcn file
also, wind updated to Freedom Mobile, and they have LTE rolling out, does that make a change, so then I can use wind without flashing the qcn, or do they still use those different frequiencies?
sorry i'm kinda a noob.
What is the phone's model # in download mode? If it is sgh-i337m, the s4 is not from T-Mobile. The T-Mobile s4 (sgh-m919) supports all of Wind/Freedom's frequencies @ 3g and would not need any patch to work.
Oh yea, forgot to say, I flashed T-Mobile firmware on it cause i thought it would make a difference.
but on any rom, I get ROGERS, TELUS, BELL.
before the qcn flash, I got AWAY, AWAY, AWAY
Away is winds roaming network.
Also they upgraded to LTE in some areas
What is the model # in download mode?
You flashed stock T-Mobile firmware with Odin?
No, its a dedoxed ROM, also here:
This is what it says
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337M
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X1
CSB-CONFIG-LSG: 0X30
WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
The s4 is not a T-Mobile s4, it's a Canadian s4 (i337m) issued by rogers, bell, Telus and has no native aws support with the stock rom.
T-Mobile and wind/freedom use the m919.

Does it make a difference if wind switches to LTE networks?
The Canadian s4 does not support Freedom's LTE frequency band.

Hello everybody,
I have a samsung I747M from Canada. I'm french and I'm using it here.
Data connexions are only in EDGE (the same as 2G). I want to have 3G data connexions. All the settings in the NPA are good.
I think the problem come from the CSC which is still the one attached to Canada (BMC).
All the firmwares are for Canada. I want to change the CSC (BMC now) to XEF (the one for France).
Does someone have an idea to fix this situation ?
Thank you and Merry Christmas !
PS : Sorry for my english...
You might have to carrier network unlock the phone.
Does the i747m support the carrier's 3g frequencies?

Thank you for your answer but my phone is already unlocked.
I'm using it in France with a local operator (Bouygues). Data connexions are only in 2G and not in 3G.
I think if I will change the CSC it will be good

I've checked and it works in 3G
I don't think it is a firmware problem because I took my s3 to London a couple of years ago. It was running stock bell firmware, network unlocked, and I was able to get 3G data connections without doing anything to the stock rom. Changing the Csc should not make a difference.
