[Q] (Answered) Why do I have an I747M on AT&T? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I searched around for the differences between the I747 and I747M, and apparently it is the location... That brings up my question.
I got an I747M, but live in the US and am with AT&T. Should I be worried about anything?
Thanks!
EDIT: I have found that it is because I flashed KyanROM, which changed it from I747 to I747M. Is there any way to revert this change? I did try to change it in the build.prop, like a bunch of places said, but when I did, the phone would get to the Samsung screen the crash. I did a nandroid restore and everything was fine, except it is still showing I747M.

Nope.

Hey man, thanks for the info.
Is it common that this happens? Should I be downloading AT&T stuff, or I747M stuff, or are they the same always?
Thanks again.

So what modem would I flash? The I747 or the I747M?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium

It is no big deal I am with rogers and I flash i747 ROM all the times on my i747m
If a flash aokp or cm10 it shows i747 but if I flash stock it shows i747m. It doesn't change your modem or anything.

Flash only modems that are for your carrier.

The reason I asked that is because Kyan ROM is based on the 747m firmware. It still works with the 747, but the build.prop shows it as a 747m.

Exactly. Look at the title in the Kyan forum... notice the M after the 747?.. so.. youve entered the world of ROMs?.. time to study!! Read read and read again my friend or youll get flamed like crazy around these parts. The answer to this question and probably all your questions are available in Kyans forum.. theres a thing called the OP that has all the info you need about the ROM you flash.. make sure you read it in its entirety atleast twice before flashing , sop. The OP is the very first post.. also, how to get around your issue and get the AT&T bloat back is also found in that forum.. theres a search function that will reveal all your questions and dreams.. its like magic except its just the search function.

Thanks guys, I feel a little bit better about it now.
I am only worried about the model number, because I can't download any of the AT&T stuff from the market because it is restricted from I747M's (as they are Canadian, and AT&T has no use on those devices). Is there any way to change it back to I747 and get rid of the M? @daddymatt, I have spent a good 30 minutes searching, and can't find any way to revert it.
I did try to change it in the build.prop, like a bunch of places said, but when I did, the phone would get to the Samsung screen the crash. I did a nandroid restore and everything was fine, except it is still showing I747M.
Also, I will give thanks when I can. I am at my current daily limit now, so no worries, I haven't missed you.

You will need to use a i747 based ROM.

You've just made a mistake editing the build.prop. keep trying. Just keep a good nandroid handy. I don't know the exact edits because i haven't the need to do it, but i know your on the right track.

I've tried so many things, I just don't know anymore. I have tried just about everything I have found online too. I am even doing a cache clear before and after changing it.
If you have a link or ideas of what to change, please let me know. I am about to give up because I honestly have no idea where to go from here.
I will give ya thanks when I can too, I hit my daily max :/

Try changing device id to I9300 instead of I747. It's the international version and will serve the same purpose. Don't know for sure if this'll work, but i think I've seen it somewhere else.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I don't think it will work. Att uses i747m not the international version
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

How many lines in the build.prop did you change? I had to change 4 in order to get Bell mobile tv working while running an AT&T rom. Try this, change
- ro.product.name=d2att
- ro.product.device=d2att
- ro.product.model=SGH-I747
- ro.build.product=d2att
This should make your phone think it's an AT&T phone again, remember keep a nandroid handy just in case...

Do not flash the new ICS Leak!

Wait not all sr roms work with your phone? Why not? Every rom should. But if there is a difference between your phones, i suggest holding out. I am not sure if your phone shares the same compatibility like how ours and telus are the same. But anyways, you guys should definitely wait before jumping the gun.

Do i747 roms work on the t999?

I want to try miui from the i747 cuz the one for the t999 is buggy....
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
The att (I747) MIUI is made by the same guy as the tmobile version.. So whatever problems you're having might be present in that build as well.. personally I've had no problems with it.. But also the newest att MIUI won't work for tmobile..
Other than that, I've seen others in here flash att stuff and be fine.. Just don't flash modems from any other version but your own. Some have said not to flash other versions kernels either.
I've personally flashed att roms and it turned out fine. Just.. Be careful with it..
On a side note, someone in the att forums has made an auto porting script, for making any rom (mostly between the us gs3's) compatible with your version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32555463
if you feel confident in that, you could try that as well
Hope that helped at least a little bit..

Ariel is a good one, And it's like one of the first roms you'll see in the att dev section..just go browse there and after reading those threads you'll quickly find out if it's safe for your device

Wind Samsung Galaxy s3 Cyanogenmod 10

So... I've checked out a ton of xda-developer posts on cyanogenmod 10 versions for t999v samsung galaxy s3(the wind one). I haven't found a dedicated post as to how i should install it on that phone. Or if it's even fully compatible. If someone could point me to a post that would tell me how to install it for this phone, that would be great! I don't mind if it's a nightly either, as long as it's relatively stable. Thanks!
Install d2tmo from get.cm
And do the typical full wipe and gapps install

Oh kk thanks alot! Where should i get cyanogenmod itself from? The nightly listings don't seem to have a download for this phone it seems. Thanks again!!!!

[q] sgh-t999l

Hi there i was just wondering if the roms for the SGH-T999 work on the T999L model?
Yes. Just don't flash anything with a modem or firmware. The kernel should be ok. I'm able to flash the T999L kernel on my T999 so it probably works both ways. Not 100% sure though.
Your wifi/wifi calling may stop working on another rom, but I may have a fix for this, so let me know if it does.
Ill be posting a lot more info on the T999L in my thread too, so keep an eye on it!

None. Lol!
Only because they are all cm or aosp based, which I haven't used in a very long time.
Be careful askin for recommendations btw. Quick way to get flamed and thread locked.
Just gotta read the ops and find one that matches what you want.

Unlock

Hey all I was wondering if anybody has found a unlock method that works? Att wont budge on a unlock code. Ive tried the service menu method. But I am a bit leary as to threads ive read as to devices becoming unusable after this method. And also options 4 and 5 in the network unlock category dont show up. I have also read that you can flash a rom that has an older firmware. Im running 4.1.2
Thnks fir any feedback..

Ok your just flashing the MODEM. Then after you perform the unlock. Then put a different SIM in, if it don't ask for a unlock code you're unlocked! Permanently!!:thumbup: Then You can flash back to the newest modem..
Found in the one stop thread, it's the MC3 modem...
Make sure first thing you do is make a back of of your existing Rom system set up. It's always good to have good back up of your system! FYI
