tried it once without any luck. going back to stock telus ROM at the moment.
has anybody had any success flashing an AT&T modem onto an i747M?
i am using the telus variant
edit: reason i wanted to do this was b/c i was getting some consistent signal drops. after having to go stock telus -> CM10 nightly (8/20), i'll see if i'm still getting any drops. that was the reason i wanted to use an AT&T modem, but if the issue doesn't come back i'll withdraw my inquiry

I'm using 8/18 and I'm not having too many issues. CM has been my daily driver for 2 weeks. I'm on telus as well. I haven't tested LTE, but once I'm back at school I'll figure it out and make sure everythings working smoothly.

CM10 8/20 nightly works great, i'm not getting any of those signal drops i had from before. maybe the phone just needed a full wipe. anyway, i'm not too curious about flashing an AT&T modem anymore. it would be nice to have a choice of modems, but that's definitely the lowest on my list now that there aren't any drops
I am using the LLE8 stock Bell modem even though my firmware is the latest ATT LH1: I did attempt to flash the full LH1 leak including the modem, but lost my IMEI in the process. Seems the modems do not play nice across different carriers, even when the phone is an I747 -- the developers then removed the modem out of the firmware package and the LH1 release installed without any issues. So my experience is that the ROMs are quite compatible, ATT to Canadian users, the source code for the kernel is standard across all SG3 phones according to the developers and the experience of people using kernels irrespective of carrier designation BUT the modem (baseband) does not appear to be cross-carrier friendly. So until a fix is developed and/or one of the Canadian carriers updates their firmware, we are stuck with LLE8 or its equivalent..

yep. i came to the exact same conclusion. i'm not too worried about it; phone takes a few seconds to hop on to LTE where i am, but no big deal
I woke up this morning to find an OTA waiting for my Canadian Yakjuux GNex. I was a bit apprehensive as I had my first OTA since launch last week which bumped me up from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2. After applying & rebooting I'm now on 4.1.1. So far I'm loving it, my phone is faster, smoorher & more responsive than ever.
My baseband saw an update too, for anyone interested, on 4.0.2 I had version UGLA4 and now I'm on version UGLH1. I'm really interested to see how my reception is now in rural areas as I haven't been out to the country since I was still on 4.0.1 with baseband version UGKL1. I had my GNex for 4 months before i moved to the city & my reception in the country was just awful.
I'm still fairly new to Android as my GNex is my first Android device, I'm technically inclined tho a little rusty with Linux. I'm still a virgin to both flashing & rooting, a little resistant as I have no landline so my GNex is my daily driver. I've been lurking on here to get to learn what tools are out there as well as get a basic understanding on the basics of rooting & flashing. Despite now having my wish of JB love on my GNex, at some point I'd still like to jump over to yakju or takju so I can get updates as they come direct from Google rather than whoever (Samsung or Virgin) pushes them to yakjuux.
If anyone else in Canada gets the update and is able, can you pull the name of the OTA update file for us please?
Open up the log files in /cache/recovery using a text editor and find the name of a file ending in zip. (Root required of course.)
I'm on Bell, I got my update early last week. I was going to flash this weekend. Mine is the same as the efrant posted earlier.

I haven't posted any update. If you can get the file name, it would be much appreciated.
I got you mixed up with jz687. I'm not rooted so I can't look at the file name, I was just going off the screen capture posted by jz687. Since the radio was posted I thought you got the file name as well.

He never posted any update either. He received his phone with that build on it. That's why I was asking for the file name, as no one has posted it here at XDA.
I bought an unlocked yakjuux Galaxy Nexus (Canadian) phone that currently has 4.2.1. From what I understand, Samsung is responsible for doing the OTA updates, which I know unfortunately occurs later than the Google ones. I'm using this phone on T-mobile in the United States, and I wanted to ask if this will interfere with me getting any updates, since I'm not using a Canadian service. If not, I'm willing to wait it out. If not, I'm considering flashing takju or yakju. Does flashing these images also change the radio, or is that a separate process? Thanks in advance.

That's actually a separate process as Roms normally only package kernels and even then is optional.
If you search the android development forum you'll find the radio thread and likely find the radio you need to flash. I would link but on mobile.
Also I believe Rhee only difference between yakju and takju is Google wallet. I actually think Google factory brands every phone with any JB stock rom. (Eg. No longer rogers/bell/fido etc boot screen and bloatware.)
So unless you flash manually I'm not sure you'll get OTA because the Canadian OS for me on wind and rogers has only updated to 4.1.2 because of the 4.2 bugs.
EDIT was 4.2.2 but when I got OTA it changed to 4.1.2, I now use the cm10.1 so I'm not much help anymore.

Thanks for the reply. Is there an advantage of me flashing a new radio?
Also, if I understood the last part, I can get OTA updates from my Canadian phone, even though I'm on a US network, but they've delayed the update because of bugs.

No problem! All it really changes is how it deals with reception, any radio can be flashed with any ROM, personally I'd recommend the latest, doesn't destroy your battery as much on 3G anymore.
And it does seem plausible to receive OTA if its not rooted and still on stock because the factory images come from Google now. (International)
But yes that's correct, as far as I know wind (my carrier) has only gone to 4.1.2 my roommate has this same phone officially from wind with 4.1.2 and we just clicked system update saying it's latest.
Rogers may be different however I changed my phone from a rogers gnex to my own little wind gnex
Hopefully you fix your issues!

Hey guys so I decide to get the SGH-147 AT&T S3 off of ebay for MetroPCS which enabled me to get a 2 year squaretrade warranty. After looking back at it now, I feel it might have been a bad idea since Metro has a MIR 349.99 deal for their S3 version which would mean easier android update since it would be on Metro servers if I'm not mistaken. Anyway I can't return the ebay phone now unless there is some software or hardware problems within 30 days
So my problem
I am stuck on 4.1.1 on Kies and when I check for update, because the phone is based on AT&T servers, it won't work since I'm on Metro. I wanted to see if there is anyway for me to update my phone to 4.3 which is the current version. Although, I've heard some people have 4.3 problems?
If that's not advisable, could y'all tell me how I could atleast get to Android 4.1.2? Also is there a 4.4 update in the works?
I just got the phone today and would like to be running on something better than 4.1.1
should I flash the AT&T phone to a MetroPCS ROM lol, if any of those are actually available, or if I were to flash, should I flash it to Tmobile?
First off, if its I747, you MUST flash only those Roms. No others. Now, that's indeed a nice phone with LTE Antenna.
You really heard correct. The 4.3 upgrade from the carrier (ATT for you) /Samsung has a lot of issues. I wouldn't do it for any reason. Particularly on T-Mo network, you will have severe signal issues as reported by others. In addition, it now flashes an EFuse onto your phone along with locked bootloader and other scary stuff.I really would not do it.
Lastly, XDA is organized by devices. So even though you are a T-Mo/Metro PCS customer, you will have to post on AT&T SGS3 forum over there.
Speaking of Rom update, Please visit Root66 Thread for this device. You will find Rooted version of your Current Rom. Dunno why but he does not have 4.2.x for you. Please do your research someone else must have posted it.
Now speaking to 4.3, yes there is a way to get 4.3 on your phone without the issues I mentioned above. But first you will have to flash a Custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP with the help of ODIN on your phone. Again do your research well. Once those are in place, take a look at this thread. It will provide 4.3 experience without ANY concerns or issues. Read it carefully and then read some more. Good Luck.

THANK YOU! Looks like I got a lot of phone work to do over the weekend. SO do you think it was good/should I stick with this AT&T S3 or should I try to sell it for a discount and buy a Metro PCS S3? The ebay buyer won't take my phone back unless there is a hardware or software problem inherent to phone...unless I fake one ?
If it was me, I'd keep the phone. Metro's S3 does not have LTE Antenna. You'd have been stuck at lower speeds.

Metro's s3 does have lte
As for the OP you can flash at&t or T-Mobile ROMs it really doesn't matter because they are backwards compatible (I have done it) and you can flash 4.3 ROMs if you don't want to take the official 4.3 update which you can easily do with Odin without the need for kies or ota.. Now, I suggest the first thing you do is flash a custom recovery and then experiment with 4.3 ROMs, if you keep having problems flash 4.1.2 roms.. There are some things you need to do though to get 4.3 up and running so I suggest you read up on it first. Good luck my friend!

It was my impression he wanted Stock Touchwiz Roms not AOSP.
Thanks for letting me know Metro has T999L

modem T999VVLUFNH2
Hi everybody,
I try to find the updated modem for my S3 (videotron SGH-T999v)
I have the modem T999VVLUFNF1 (ROM LS 3.1 stable KK 4.4.4, KT747 kernel)
When I unzip the official ROM of samsung (older like 4.1.2 and the last samsung update from september 2014) , I only find the file NON-HLOS.bin
According to sammobile the last videotron modem is T999VVLUFNH2, but I cannot find the file. This is the first time I try to update the modem because I have a poor reception in my house.
Thank you for your help
I haven't decided if I will post those or not. Too great a risk with the 4.4.2 modems. If you want to try the latest I can only recommend fully updating as a safe way to do so.
If you really want to be the one to test if it's safe, I'll get it uploaded for you, but understand there is a chance it could hard brick the phone beyond repair.
Reason for all of this is because we know if you flash a 4.4.2 modem on 4.3 it'll permanently brick it. I have no idea if flashing an older or newer 4.4.2 modem on 4.4.2 firmware (like you want to do) will result in the same. Normally, I would guess it wouldn't be the case, but it seems a lot has changed in these new builds that no one understands, and there have already been too many bricks for me to be comfortable trying something new like this without exercising great caution.

Thank you for your reply and your advise.
As I don't have enought money to take the risk, I will keep my actual modem.
Thank again
Don't blame you a bit! But don't forget, you can still fully update and that may help. (From what I've seen, flashing older modems on 4.4.2 doesn't brick, so i think if you updated, it should be ok to flash the NF1 modem if the newer one doesn't help. It might not work, but I don't think it would cause any harm. Just food for thought, but again, I can't guarantee anything with these latest modems...)
If it's a bad signal issue that you did not have before, call your carrier and ask if there are any tower/network/account issues they are aware of.
Your carrier probably doesn't do this, but Tmobile will sometimes give customers a signal booster for home use only. You can buy them online too, but I'm not sure how my h they are these days. (Just make sure it boosts the frequencies used by your carrier if you look into this.)

Just noticed today that my phone is on T999VVLUFNF1 but that there is a newer 4.4.2 release for the T999V phone that is T99VVLUFNH2. Would it be good to update via Odin to this? Is it just a newer modem?
I have a T mobile T999 that is currently flashed with CyanogenMod 11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-d2lte which is kitkat 4.4.4. The baseband version is T999UVDMD5. I have a Lebara sim card in it now, and I'm in France. I'm not getting any signal and I suspect it is because the baseband version mismatch. Is there anything I can do to make this setup work or do I have to downgrade to a different version of CM? Is there and updated modem I can flash on this device or any way to make it work?

Latest baseband is NC2, flash it, and if the device still does not pick up service flash back to MD5 firmware and see if it will pick it up. If not then it might incompatible with your provider..
Thanks!!!! Also Those using T999 switched to ATT
Just wanted to say thank you!!!
Also just wanted to say for those who have a T999 that switched to AT&T this works (I wasn't sure if this would work since it didn't say anything about AT&T working with it. To be perfectly honest I didn't read everything but again THANKS!!!!!!
Hi Guys,
I got the OTA update ( T999UVUENC2 ) about a month back and since then, my Wifi has stopped working. It stays greyed out when I try to turn it on. Just won't turn on.
The logcat says that the "WiFi driver is unstable".
What I have tried so far (with no success):
1) Flash the same build again (T999UVUENC2).
2) Flash the root666_T999UVUENC2 build. (Currently, I am on this)
3) Flash Cyanogenmod 11.
4) Factory reset.
5) Pull the battery out when the phone is on and put it back again.
6) Modify/delete the wpa_supplicant.conf file.
Can someone please give any directions on how the "Wifi driver can be fixed"? I understand from going through the forums that downgrading from 4.3 to 4.2 can cause a brick. However, can I downgrade to the previous T-Mobile 4.3 build (T999UVUEMJC ) without causing a brick? Do you guys think that can help fix the Wifi?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Could you point me to what one exactly i need for T999LUVUBNF4
SGH-T999L Will Not Mount Ext Sd/No root or load file from .zip to root
I always get stuck at the boot screen where I am supposed to Update from Zip, but my phone NEVER lets me Mount the External SD card, I have a 64GB card, failed, 16 GB card, failed, what am I missing. All the good tutorials, ESPECIALLY yours, get me to that point but being unable to load that .zip file from sd just murders me. The Phone is on 4.3 and I believe I loaded your stock 4.3 firmware after failing to get this part done and then trying every single rom possible (didn't realize this had murdered me) until I managed to get back to this stock rom. Why does it not want to load from ext sd? Is it the file system? I've never had any issues with any of these sd cards, and they aren't generic cards, one is a samsung other a sandisk,
