I want to install the official UVDLJA T-Mobile Rom on my Galaxy S3 and then install Frosty Jb. I have the T999v of Videotron one. Will my phone gonna be bricked or not? And my network gonna work also?
Thank you

You're doomed bro. Turn back immediately.
Should be fine as long as you dont change your modem. I suggest you use mobile odin and unselect the modem. I did this with my t999v wind mobile and its fine.
I asked the same question with similar responses. But could those that had success maybe give a bit more detail on how they managed to odin the TMO stock? It passes the md5 but then fails when flashing, I have flashed numerous times in odin with no problem. Maybe an obvious requirement I am not aware of (stock recovery stock download or some such thing)
Thanks for the answer. I have another question. Before I turn to Frosty, my mobile network was only 3G and H+ but now with frosty, its only the 4G icon. So with frosty im on real 4g or its only a "fake" icon?

T-Mobile has no real 4g. Some roms are coded to just show E and 4g for 3g, H, and H+, while other roms break it down more

Hmm i would think Phoenix should have good service. Maybe you should Odin back to stock and start all over. Radio is the only reason i can think of that would affect the speed.

How are you distinguishing what connection you are on? Many roms will show H+ instead of 4g

I'm on stock. Rooted yesterday and download speeds seem slower now. I will do more testing this afternoon.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
well on the t-mobile variations the best you can get is H+ and most ROMs show that. other than that, try using a different kernel. that was the problem for me where my data wouldn't even work sometimes.
It looks like op knows the difference between 3g and 4g/H+ he noticed that he only gets 4g for like a second here and there and that's it.

I had a similar problem. What happened with me was one day I went from great 4G (HSPA+) speeds 80ms Ping, 25MB Down, 4MB Up to all of the sudden a 1200ms Ping with 0.05MB Down and NO UPLOAD.
Turns out it was a problem with some towers in my area. Took T-Mobile two weeks to fix everything. Not sure if that is what's happening here but it could be possible.

Hi guys.
I don't know if its my phone or if this is the way the phone is meant to be, I have an extremely weak wifi signal. I am literally right next door to my router and I only get 3/4 bars for signal strength. As soon as I go up to the second floor, I get nothing at all unless I'm directly above my router. This is extremely frustrating at the moment. I decided to lurk around the forum to see if installing a custom rom would help and I ended up installing Jedi Invasion 2; it did not help at all.
It's just so frustrating that I have to use my mobile internet when I'm in bed instead of using my home internet. I don't understand this at all. Why is it so weak? Does anyone else have this problem?
Thank you.
Im with you on this......im staying tuned..

Have you tried updating your modem to the latest version that was just released?
My modem is perfectly fine. I just dont understand how my old crappy blackberry had a better and stronger connection than my s3.

I found the Wi-Fi performance increased a fair bit when I upgraded to 4.1.1. I can go a fair ways in my house before dropping bars. Wish I had run WiFi Analyzer before the upgrade so that I could actually compare RSSI.
Depends on the router freq. 2.4ghz and 5ghz. 5ghz can cause crappy WiFi strength issues. Change the settings around to 2.4 only and see what happens.

My router does not support dual band. Like I said earlier, my blackberry has a stable connection while my s3 struggles.

I had the same problem in 4.0.4 ICS but now on 4.1 JB it is working perfect. Before on ICS I had like 3-4 bars when I was 2ft away from the router. Now on JB I have full 5 stable bars no less with higher distance.

The modem he is talking about is a radio for the phone. Not the modem that connects you to the internet through your ISP.

Indeed tmobile is upgrading their hardware and adding towers now that their LTE is spreading to more cities. Also since the merger didn't go through with At&t they are upgrading to compete in general.

No, it permanently unlocks those bands, just like carrier unlocking a phone. Once it's done its done.

No. The T-Mobile version, T-889, is a dual cell phone capable of supporting 42.2 Mbps data transfer. The AT&T version, i-317, is not and is limited to 21.1 Mbps. However the i-317 is capable of using more than one LTE band whereas the T-889 is limited to just one.

No, you can flash other carriers roms. The thing is you have to make damn sure what you're flashing isn't gonna brick you. From a software standpoint all Note 2's are the same, for the most part. You have to be careful not to flash another carriers modem or you'll have no signal. If that happens just flash an AT&T modem and you're good. The kernel is pretty much the same. There might be some minor differences but nothing to worry about. Just read read read. All the info is in the OP, and if it's not just ask in that thread.

This is just strange... in roughly a year of doing this I think you're the first to report that happening. 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 modems have always worked on 4.1.2, and any other combo has worked as well. There are people who still use the LH2 (ics) modem because it still performs better than any other for them.
I think you may have been seeing it function normally though. When idle, its supposed to drop to UMTS to save power and bandwidth. If you check while a transfer is occurring you will see it change to HSPAP.

Has anyone else found another modem that they now use that gives them better signal/data speeds for their Tmobile T999? My work building is a complete dead zone for Tmobile, so I am hoping flashing another modem works. Otherwise, im not sure what else I can do.
I have to refer you to my initial response here. A modem that gives better speed and signal for me, might be one of the worst for you.
Just something to consider, you probably could test 2-3 different ones each day at work. Maybe more. If your main issue is signal, then flash, check service, if none then flash another right away. I could probably flash 5 different ones on a 15 min break if I was only looking for improved signal. Might be a better way than waiting for someone to tell you what worked for them, then testing only that the next day. Its your phone and your time though, so its your call. Just tryin to help
