Hi - i have a T989D Telus Unlocked Phone that I use on T-mobile USA, I had flashed it I think about a year ago, but phone has been giving poor performance.
I needed some help if someone can point me to a thread or instructions to flash the most stable/best rom available so i can have t-mobile usa features such as wifi calling.
thanks!
Have you looked in development there are quite a few in there... Stable is a matter of personal opinion in my eye since one person may claims issues that no one else has. As for wifi calling just make sure its a GB based stock-ish rom. Just go through the threads and see which one suits your needs
Pretty much every TWiz-based ROM will have WiFi Calling.

Thanks - so the instructions in the Dev area should apply to the T989D model as well, right? I mean there is no difference other than this one was from Telus, so instructions should still be applicable?
Thanks!

Hi i red a thread about having LTE in the T-Mobile S2 anyway I can get LTE in my koodo S2 X?
BTW i tried flashing Skyrocket Radios and had no service
Also can u give me a link for the stock Koodo S2X kernel
I'm on Koodo as well, I've been reading through forums and there's still plenty of uncertainty about LTE working on our phone. From how I see it, it's not worth the trouble, as the HSPA speeds are more than enough.
And you can get the stock Koodo kernel here. Cheers!

Can you check which Network mode you are using under settings/ wireless & networks/ mobile networks. While you're there make sure you have the proper APNs set as well. Otherwise, flashing the stock Koodo ROM through Odin will do the trick for you getting back your service.
Hey all, atm I use the stock rom, rooted for tmobile. (Stock rom isnt that bad for JB tbh.. to my surprise) However I just switched to ATT, waiting on my nano to micro adapter to come in so I can switch back to use it. Now as far as I read, I should have the 3g and 4g bands just fine, I just wont have LTE on ATT, correct? Next up, aside from using titanium backup to force uninstall TMOs software, was wondering, should I change out my rom too or is stock still cool to use for ATT?
That or what is everyone else doing if they took their S3 to ATT or tweaks that could help for network speed etc. That or apps that are good for ATT on it. Thanks.
Anyone? Or is there no tweaks or more ideal rom builds. Atm I mange to get 3-4 Mbps download speeds. Not sure how fast Iphone 5 gets.. Didnt test and dont feel like taking the sim out again tonight lol.
As suggested by the ATT S3 section of the forums, Ill put my post here too with more details on what I could be looking for.
Hello, Just changed from Tmobile to ATT. I already unlocked it, and am running it on 4G. Sad part is, download is only like 1-3 Mbps it seems. While my Iphone 5 can get close to 7 Mbps (Now this is just 4G band, NOT LTE)
So I am wondering if there are some tweaks I need to adjust in the build.prop or anything else. Atm I just use the stock rom thats rooted. (Since it seems nice enough for JB and honestly, I havent figured out which custom rom beats the stock rom 100% without losing any features.
Also noticed I cant install the ATT Visual voicemail as it claims device isnt compatible. (Which that I am sure I can use a build.prop edit for the model. Question is, which model and items do I need to adjust and to what value?)
Anyways, if anyone has some good advice about using the tmobile S3 on ATT and getting it tweaked to be the best it can be, or a rom that is perfect for switching between ATT and Tmobile (should I use my prepay tmo sim in it again) and provide high data speed. Would be great.
Oh also.. just so I know. Can I use the ROMs posted in this ATT section of XDA for the t999 tmo s3 or do I need to still only use roms from the tmo s3 section of xda? Thanks. =)

Not sure about the other stuff, but with regard to this, your phone is still a t999 no matter what carrier you are with. Hardware doesnt change, so I would recommend you stick around in the tmo section.
Some att ROMs may work, but not sure which, so if you DO want to use an att rom, I would suggest asking the dev if it will work for the t999.
Sorry I couldnt answer about the rest, im too noobish for all that

Yea thats the trick, Seems its hard to even find that advice lol. I mean long as I dont use the international s3 roms. Just between Tmobiles and ATT. I dont know. I dont even know if its considered the same model and could use the same rom. Perk of using an ATT rom, may increase my network speed some along with being able to use their apps. Atm I cant use the ATT Visual voicemail since it says my phone isnt compatible. Which I know I could prob bypass that with the build.prop provided I knew which model to make my phone.
First of all i wanna say, you all do an amazing job with all of this. So ive been looking around the forums and i cant find an answer to my question, so i will post and wait for replay. i have the at&t version (i747) of the gs3 and had updated to 4.1.1 via kies. early march i found a post on your forums about sim/carrier unlocking and tried it out. it worked w/o any problems, so i headed to t-mobile to jump on their monthly unlimited 4g plan. installed sim and had no problems. all functions work: calls, im, sms, mms, data (edge, 3g, and HSPA+), everything. on march 17th, i decided to try out a custom rom. i odin rooted my phone with cwm then tried out [ROM][4.2.2][STABLE] LiquidSmooth v2.1 - d2att - 3|16|13. works absolutely fine. sorry for the long wind but i just want to make sure i give all info before posting my question as i may prevent unness replies. having an at&t phone using tmobile as the carrier, can i use roms intended for t-mobile only, or do i have to stick to at&t/multi-carrier roms only?
Honestly making sure you have a T-Mobile put in is all that matters. Other than that they are fairly interchangeable.

I have been making roms, from Canada claro i747m, and tmobile t999 and att 747 and they all work as they should. no problems at all, using stock att modem i747ucdlk3 without any issues...
all I did was change the build prop to represent d2att..
I have simplemobile which is a tmobile company.. except for now I just used up my 4g.. I usually get 3g, but for some reason im getting an E which speed is like 2g edge.. slow at the moment.. never seen that in 3 months..
check my signature, for my roms... they r all stock original roms..
I'm in the same situation as the op. I have at&t i747 unlocked to use with tmobile. My question is, if I flash a multi-rom What carrier do I choose during the aroma install? do I pick tmobile because thats what network im using now or do I pick at&t because its originally an at&t device? any help or advice would be greatly aprecciated.
during the install of liquidsmooth i chose att since i do have the branded phone. i cant use the lte settings for network cause tmob doesnt have their lte out yet (soon to drop), but i am wanting to try the tmobile install and see if i get any difference in data speeds. other than that, liquidsmooth is a pretty solid build. this is the only rom i have tried on my gs3 so far. id like to try others to maybe help give feedback for builders, i just wasnt sure if i could use tmobile or had to stick to att roms. thanks for the info.
on a side note, the rom unlocked a 1080p video record and i like showing ppl the OC ability. 1.9Ghz. YAY!!!
when I first made my Canada Claro rom d2can everything worked out the box. the only thing was it was showing me info of I747m, everything was still working, same when I made my tmobile rom, it was showing d2tmo, everything worked out the box, just that it showed me info of T999, so both of the roms worked, all I did was change the build prop to represent d2att ATT info..
So the answer is yes, u can use other roms... just be careful not to install the modem. I never changed that. I remove them from the rom.
Danger,, I tried making the international GT I9300 and removed the modem, changed the build prop.. almost bricked my phone, played with it to try to make it work, It would hang and sometimes not boot up... so stay away from international one.
so if u try Canada or tmobile u should be safe, its the same phones... or if someone post roms that are ported to att i747.
I am using i747 for T-Mobile.
Can somebody tell me what ROM i should use in order to get WIFI Calling on it ?
Thank you.
I'm looking to return my 928A and buy an international version that will have more dev support. Can't find a definitive answer as to what model works as good LTE wise. T,I,G or F. If anyone could help that would be great. Don't really think the T mobile ones are bug free in the dev area but I would like the most options like CM one day.

Currently using an unlocked G928T on ATT, and the only problems are that VOLTE and WiFi calling don't work.
Other than that, everything's fine and there are already some great ROMs popping up for it
Good luck with your search!
I wasn't sure if they were identical. I was surprised to see so many variants. Do you need to keep messing with apns when you install a rom or can you just install an international version?

what was the problem with the VOLTE
I have been rooted unlocked for a while now on T-Mobile But the phone is having issues with data, calls, and generally not stable. I have 4.0.4 firmware baseband I535VRLHE. I want to know what Firmware and baseband are available that I can get and be able to root and unlock bootloader. for T-Mobile to be more compatible with current T-mobile. I have current CWM The VRZ build I got was from XDA contributor. I already know how to use ODIN. Please point me in the right direction If I left out any Info tell me. I need help. Thanks
You should be able to find the firmware for your model at http://sammobile.com/firmwares
You're probably experiencing issues because that device was built for a very different type of network. If I'm remembering right, that belongs to a CDMA network, while T-Mobile is a GSM one. So I kinda doubt that you'll be able to get decent performance out of it while on T-Mobile.
Give the update a try, but don't expect miracles. Maybe you'll see some improvement though.

I guess to simplify my quarry. I was asking which update to firmware like 4.1.1 or up will still allow me to root and unlock boot loader I know some newer firmwares won't allow root or boot loader unlock. from what I understand.
Also I want to change the radio to a newer one. The VFLHE is way to old even for CDMA. Thanks for the reply
You'll need to ask in the Verizon forums about that type of stuff. Our bootloader isn't locked, but I think yours is. The only thing I really know for certain about the I535, is that it's different enough that I don't want to try to answer that myself. I think they've always had to do things a good bit different from the rest of the US S3 models.
You should probably use that forum for any of the help you need. And only flash/use things that are intended for your model. Don't use anything here unless it's been verified by other I535 users that it is safe.
You might also find others who are doing the same or similar stuff you want to do. If so they can probably help more than anyone.
If you have any questions about T-Mobiles networks and things like that, that can't be answered in Verizons forums, we would do our best to answer them here if needed. But I really think you'll find a lot more reliable information in your devices forum.
Hope that helps!
