You will get unknown baseband for that. I tried to flash the att baseband back from recovery, but i cannot make it work. But i am sure there is someway to do it, as long as the rom will not change the baseband, you should be fine. If you find out the way to modify the existing rom, please let me know.

U can try urself, i did upload the stock rom, after u extract the file, u will have most want u need. I did try myself, still no signal. However sb did put n7100 on a n7105 by back up some of the files.
Google i flashed n7100 rom onto n715,
few people did pull that off. I guess we could use the same method.
Let me know if u made it work.

I am doing it right now, i did change some script in the original zip file. It is rebooting right now.
Everyone one of them fails in twrp & cwm. I mean the ones in the 7105 development forum. Anyone know what may be going wrong?

The first thing you need to do is to ODIN flash this CWM custom recovery to your phone.
Here is the download link for the CWM custom recovery 6.0.3.1 TAR file : "cwm-touch-6.0.3.1-d2tmo.tar"
Here is the download link to ODIN which is required to flash TAR files: http://d-h.st/Q14
Make a new folder on your desktop and extract the Odin zipfile into it, then copy the CWM custom
recovery TAR file into the same folder. (odin is a windows app which does NOT need installation.)
After that flash the .TAR file using Odin.
When that's done you can basically flash any of the CWM/TWRP flashable custom roms found here in these development
threads for the Tmobile Galaxy S3 phones by going into recovery mode on your phone and flashing any of the Tmobile cwm
zipfile custom roms.
My favorite custom rom is the "Wicked" rom which as far as I am concerned is the very best available right now.
Here is the link to the Wicked rom: http://sourceforge.net/projects/evil1art/files/evil/t-999/Wicked/Wicked_v10.zip/download
If you want more information about the wicked rom and how to flash it, here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804260
The link above will give you instructions for flashing the custom cwm flashable rom.
Once you have successfully followed all the steps in my post here you will end up with a rooted Tmobile
Samsung Galaxy S3 Touchwiz Jellybean v4.1.1 phone with the best custom rom currently available for it.
There are a lot of ROMs available in the forum, which is good because people have different usage scenarios and preferences.
Personally I'm not a fan of touchwiz. I've been on AOSP based ROMs since I got my S3 last September.
I highly recommend CM10.1 and AOKP.
Whether you go touchwiz or AOSP, you might want to experiment with custom kernels too to squeeze out performance and battery life out of your device.
Lastly, don't forget to nandroid and use Titanium backups.
Happy flashing!

Hey junky,
Just curious, why are you linking to a 6.0.3.2 version of cwm? 6.0.3.1 is the latest cwm has released for the S3. (It looks like the S4 uses the newer one.)
Has it been tested and proven 100% compatible? If ive missed something, please fill me in.
Not trying to give you a hard time man! But imo, its probably best to stick with the one built specifically for our device. (Or at least make the option known).

The reason I am linking the Odin flash cwm recovery TAR file to that particular post is that after reading some articles and
doing some tests flashing the stock T999 Tmobile firmware with odin I found out that if the kernel in any of these custom
cwm flash roms has been modifiied by the developers then we can skip the rooting process entirely since all these custom
roms are already rooted.
At first I did not believe this was possible, but after testiing it, I found out it was true.
So this means that it should work with any of the touchwiz jellybean based custom roms which have modified or custom
kernels included and it should also work on all of the AOSP/AOKP/CM10/MIUI roms as well since they do not have
the stock samsung touchwiz kernels in any of those cwm flashable roms and all of them over-write the stock kernel.
However this procedure will not work on any custom roms which come with the STOCK Samsung Tmobile S3 kernels.
I have not tested this procedure on my Galaxy S4 yet, but I am almost certain that it would also work the same way.

Ok, I am sorry for hijacking this thread, but I am quite confused now.
It sounds like you are saying that if you have an insecure kernel, any version of any custom recovery will work? Regardless of what device it was built for???
Apologies if I am totally misunderstanding you here. But it just makes no sense.
Yes all custom roms are already rooted, but I dont see how that is relevant to the recovery you choose. (Besides, you almost always have to have the recovery installed before you can flash the rom.)
I just find it very hard to believe that we could use the S4 or Note2 CWM/TWRP provided we have that insecure kernel. Even if you can, there are still potential problems.
First, what happens if the recovery you try is larger than our recovery partition? Brick!
And what happens if you are running this recovery due to your custom kernel, and then flash a stock based rom with a secure kernel?
As to your first statement about skipping the rooting process because the custom roms are already rooted.... you first have to achieve root before you can flash these, so I dont see what you mean by skipping the process.
Maybe im too tired to follow what you're saying, but I still dont see how its a good idea to have someone flash a recovery thats not built for their device. Its much safer to stick to the ones that are specifically built for our device and that hundreds of people have already successfully used.

You are right, I just uploaded the correct version of the cwm recovery tar to a file hosting site it's the same recovery which I used
to flashed my t999 S3 phone to find out if the rooting method I wrote about for gaining root access worked on my T999 S3.
I just edited my post to reflect the change I made to the cwm tar recovery download link to display that it's version 6.0.3.1
You are also right about something else too, if someone flashes a stock restricted kernel or any rom
which contains a stock/restricted kernel whether it's odin flashed or cwm flashed they will loose root.
But wouldn't that also hold true if we rooted using any rooting method then flashed the stock unrooted Odin
flash TAR rom or any stock/custom CWM flashable rom which had any kind of restricted kernel in it as well?

Why would we need to achieve root before flashing a Odin flash CWM recovery TAR file?
It's not the cwm recovery that achieves root, it's the rooted custom roms which do that.
Here is some interesting reading about this topic that I read, the thread in this link was not created specifically for our
S3 and S4 phones, but after reading it carefully a couple of times I am certain that the principle is just about the same.

Guys here is my problem. I tried to upgrade my Samsung N7105 to 4.3 via OTA and it got stucked on bootloop.
I tried to access recovery mode but it fails, only download mode.
What i did is I downloaded the official 4.3 firmware at SamMobile and flashed it with Odin 3.09
Based on Odin it is successful but im still stuck on bootloop and recovery mode cannot still be accessed.
Tried to root it also and installed CWM to recover. I was able to to access CWM
so i restored factory setting, wipe cache and dalvik cache but still the phone bootloops.
Any suggestions on how to resolve my problem?

Was able to access custom recovery upon flashing. conducted wipe data / factory reset and wipe dalvik cache but still bootlooping was experienced. Is my phone dead already and needs replacement?
After flashing the philz, try flashing a custom ROM and see if u will unstuck from the bootloop, try cm 10.2, it's very light and mostly bug free

Now working cm10.2 but now my next problem is there is no signal. it appeared that imei value is null. how do i repair this? thanks!
By the way after successfully running on cm10.2 I tried to reflash again with stock firmware. bootloop again. i think i will be stuckon using custom roms for now. The only thing I need to address is the no mobile signal problem.
OK so the bootloop problem is done and don't worry there are a lot of amazing custom roms that are based on the stock one and even better features like the note 3 features, as for the imei, please tell me you did an nfs backup if you do, there are a lot of ways you can restore your nfs backup, if you don't have an nfs backup, I don't know what to do.

Sorry was on vacation for a long time. I wasn't able to update this thread.
Problem right now is I forgot to back the EFS so when I flashed CM 10.2
There is no baseband and IMEI is null. Tried to flash n7105 modem but still it still doesn't work
Have read that I should flash stock firmware to fix baseband and IMEI but 4.3 firmwares makes my phone go on bootloop.
Should I wait for 4.4 update? I want my phone to make it usable again.
My phone right now is useless and works like an itouch hahaha
Any suggestions???
Need expert advise

You may try Hurricane modem changer and experiment with various modem versions. It's a longshot but it may help. Try finding very old modem version and flash that.
Hurricane Modem Changer is that an application?
Where to get it? Also, will it there be a possibility that when I flash Official 4.4 kitkat (when released) on my n7105.
Bandwidth and IMEI will be restored? I'm leaning towards to come back to touch wiz though many of you guys might say that a custom rom might be better.
For one thing, the problem in my n7105 started when i upgraded to 4.3 via OTA

No, it's for N7100 only - the modems are completely different (3G vs LTE).
Please read the original post carefully before flashing, if the HC was not protected you could have lost network functions completely.

Im using an n7105 model. Guess this will not work. Any other suggestions?
From what I understand, the quickest solution is to flash stock firmwares however, i'm quite disappointed that
almost all 4.3 firmwares from sam mobile doesn't work in my phone (always bootlooping)
A technician told me that I should wait for the 4.4 kitkat release, since it might work for my phone.
Now my problem is, I need to have the phone operational. so im willing to flash custom roms for the meantime
but the baseband problem is really testing my patience. hehe

It's pretty strange really as stock firmwares are a complete set of bootloader/modem/system that should in theory work perfectly well together without any incompatibility problems. Have you ever tried to install one of them without sdcard and/or simcard installed, maybe you have some leftovers from previous system (Android secure directory) that causes bootloops, also did you completely clean internal sdcard prior to flashing, it may create the same problems as external sdcard.

im not sure if i cleaned the internal sdcard prior to flashing.
It started with the OTA update that failed then I tried to flash stock firmware via odin
do i have to do a pre-requisite before flashing it again? so you are suggesting to remove the simcard and external sd card prior to flashing?
Hi everyone, I'm new to posting on the forums but i am very familiar with some of devices that i work on. i like to mess around with phones and learn new ways to help people out. I had a friend come to me with a Gs3 on 4.1.2 and he wanted the device upgraded to 4.3 so he could use the new features such as the multi window. The device was rooted so i downloaded the rooted 4.3 rom and flashed it via TWRP recovery. The process was flawless other than when the device booted, i do not receive any signal from his carrier and cannot enable WiFi or mobile data.
Anyone think they could help me fix the problem? Thank you!

You need to flash the modem separately from the rom. That might be your problem, older modems don't seem to work well with mk3.
