There is a way to unlock the phone but i fear that these roms are catered to 4g lte and simply mobile is only 4g will that affect service as far as data or email and text etc? Will it even work at all?

No lmao. If u dont know the difference between att radios and tmobile radios, then id advise u not to even bother with rooting and flashing. U can only get and will only get EDGE/2G data speeds. Period

Try looking for the foxfi addon. I heard that it sometimes helps. Also read the instructions when your setting it up.

a lot of those wifi apps claims they work without root, but it is only for certain phones
root your galaxy s3, it is the only way
Ok do you know where I can find a link on how to root the phone? I dont want to brick it since I just got it.

I've read that foxfi is not yet ready for our phones, maybe in the next update.

If your on the unlimited plan you cant share the network. They block it that's part of the contract no tethering or hotspot.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Worked fine on my phone before I rooted.
Any updates on this issue? Does rotting help make Foxfi work on our S3?
If you are rooted why don't you just use the wifi tether app for root from the play store. I just set my device as a galaxy s2 in the device settings in the app and it works. I am on the unlimited plan.

What settings are you referring to? Foxfi doesn't have any settings options that I've seen.
Yeah there really aren't any settings for this app.
When I try it on mine seems to start ok on the phone but computer can not connection to it.
I have even tried on my old sensation and it dont work with viper rom. Or a stock one s.
I've had the same problem with FoxFi. Install SVTP and set the profile to Samsung ICS. Still $15, but only once and its the only hotspot app I've found that can get around Tmobile's blocks on my stock nonrooted T999.

Can a unlocked att s3 be used on t-mobiles network?

Just as the title says. I have a friend who's wife bought a s3 and doesn't like it, and they want to sell it. I'm on t-mobile and they are on att. Thanks in advance.

It will work, however until T mobile completes rebanding the 3g network you will only get edge or 2g data. Voice will work fine.

How would I flash an att ROM for my tmo gs3

So the title says it all, I have a T-Mobile gs3 that is unlocked running on Att. How do I go about flashing att Roms to this phone, I've read many places its possible and I've never been steered wrong by xda so help me out?

You really don't need to. Its the same thing. Just keep a tmo ROM on. It will still work. If anything flash a radio. I know on galaxy s 2 radios are compatible. Not sure about the s3 since the att version has lte.

Unlocking?

If I unlock my phone can my company know I'm using a s3?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Sorry, maybe its just me today, but the question just doesn't make sense to me.
Unlocking simply lets you use the phone on another carriers network. How or why would your company care what model your cell is?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Because when it is not unlocked some companies require you or automatically puts u into a data plan.
So my question -
Can your company detect what phone you are using if it is unlocked?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
When you say "your company" do you mean your carrier or cellular provider, such as T-Mobile or AT&T?
If that's what you mean then yes, they are usually able to tell what kind of phone you are using.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I don't think they'll make you get a data plan if you bring your own phone, and can't you cancel the data after a while?

Cause my company T-Mobile didn't know what phone I was using so they had to ask me.

That's for T-Mobile from reading it...
"Step 10. Once that’s done restoring, your phone will reboot. Just give it about a minute as it will reboot. Once rebooted, you can insert your T-Mobile SIM card and start enjoying T-Mobile 3G/4G HSPA+!"
Yup. I see that now. Flimflam said that the hack was in that site. Thats the only one I saw that looked relevant to the post. Maybe I missed it somewhere.

Really Dude? I guess when you live in the midwest like kansas (Most ****ty state ever by the way....) I get 25% of your speed. I still get "4G" though on the screen.
