Modem flash advice while roaming...? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello,
I am using my Australian S3 4G model handset with VodaAu sim card, currently I am connected to AT&T and my reception is unstable, this is the same while using T-Mobile. I would like to flash my modem with a version that others on at&t are using to resolve my issues...
Will this help?
And which version?
Thanks,

Some digging on my part suggests the phone you have is probably the i9305, not the i747. You might want to go over here to ask your question, look for modems, etc.

It is the i9305 gt model yes, but the modems should be the same?

[Q] WIND Mobile SGH-T889V - Will it work?

Can someone from Canada please confirm or deny that the T-Mobile ROMs work on WIND/Mobilicity Notes? I really want to get the Multi-Window features and a bunch of other goodies, but I do not want to brick my precious. :crying:
Thanks a ton!

Yes it will work. Just need to unlock it. Don't even need to root it to unlock it.
(Only need to unlock it if it's from mobilicity ofcourse)

Unlock? You mean unlock the bootloader, or the phone? I already have a SGH-T889V Locked on WIND (Probably), that I purchased directly from WIND and it works perdectly with my SIM Card. I only want to root it and flash Custom ROMS.

Sry I must have been drunk when I read your first post lol
I'm note sure about rooting it. It's baseband is different than the US TMobile variant. (US is LJ1 I think, my Mobilicity one reads LJ4)
I posted in the toolkit thread if it will work on our canadian ones. I hope someone replies soon.
Not sure if you mean will a tmobile note2 work on wind? Currently using a tmobile note 2 stock running on Wind... Just unlocked phone and evening working fine.

It should work. The internals are the same and the T889 and T889v are listed on sammobile on same page for stock ROMs. Just make sure to store a nandroid and back up your efs

1) By unlock you mean I need to sim unlock it first to use T mobile SGH-T889 roms
2) SGH-T889V has wireless charging pins....does those work ?

Thanks
whats d difference..?
whats the difference if u put a Tmobile rom in a canadian wind G N-2 ...??
Thannks..!
A SIM unlocked T-Mobile Note II works on Wind Mobile or Mobilicity without any modification.
I am looking for comment from Canadian users of T-Mobile Note II to confirm if the performance would improve after flashing the T889V modem.
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
To answer your question, yes performance will improve after flashing the T889V modem, but the difference is very slim. Data speeds and reception are generally the same, but the T889V modem might get half a bar of signal where the tmobile one will get none.

Hi I't what I did first I I had to change the sim size (previous GS II, which modem was working)
I've checked again just before posting this question, all seems to be Ok from them
The message is " Non available data or non valid sim"
I've seen on forums that the at&t modem is locked for at&t network only
May only the phone setting is unlocked but not the modem ones?
Or should I flash and other Rom (Noterious or n7105?
Thanks again

Excuse me!!!!!! I wanna know the question of I747's Roms

The i747M is the Canadian model for carriers such as Rogers and Telus
The i747 is for AT&T etc
The ROMs are interchangable, but I think the modems are different. For flashing, you can mix and match in ODIN (however you should keep your i747M modem). Which carrier's SIM card are you using?

He mentioned he's in china, using a canadian modem won't help much.
I'm with Rogers and use the latest modem. Just gotta look for your carrier's modem if you get bad/no reception. And check your APNs of course.
But like Unknown mentioned, I747M and I747 are pretty much the same and ROMs will work on both.

ODIN should generate an error message if you attempted to do it.

I doubt that chinese is included as these ROMs are for the US/ Canadian markets.
I'd suggest that you keep the stock ROM on the device as is.

Does your current phone work fine with the data-plan on your SIM card? If so, the only think you need to be concerned about is how to flash a new language on the device.
Basic rooting should be able to achieve this.

I'd suggest you use the stock LL1 ROM from the Puerto Rican market. This has NO carrier bloat whatsoever and will flash successfully on your device (i747M).
You would use ODIN to flash this.

Root new S4 mini model SGH-I257M

Hey guys,
Just got the new Canadian model SGH-I257M and would like to know if there's any way to root this model? I have found the guides on here for GT-19195 and GT-19190, but can I use one of these guides for this model?
I really want to get a dualshock 3 controller setup but I need to be rooted.

Yep I'm sure. It just came out today exact same specs as the other models but has 16gb internal storage, no FM Radio transmitter. Haven't found any other differences
It might work with the S4 Mini root kit, but no guarantees!

Does it have LTE?
But since the model number differs so much from the other S4 minis, i am not sure, if you can just use the "regular" Root-kit. Of course you can give it a go.

Yes it has LTE
when you guys say root kit you mean "S4mini_RootKit_v1" right? what about the recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serrano3gxx.tar file? is this file specific to GT-I9190?
Wait wait wait, so there's a _different_ variant of the S4 Mini?
Koodo (the Telus subsidiary) just got this phone in the other day and I was about to swap my slow-as-molasses Galaxy Ace 2x for the thing, but am a lot more hesitant if I can't load Cyanogenmod onto it.
The few links I've found on the the model SGH-I257M say that it may be a Bell phone, due to the M at the end... but the S4 Mini listed on the Bell site has the same specs as the GT-19195/0 LTE.
Do the telecoms really sell radically different versions of different phones under the same name?
EDIT: Just confirmed with Koodo that their model is indeed the SGH-I257M.

Yes, this "S4mini_RootKit_v1" is what we are talking about. But be warned, this may not work for you.

Wouldnt it be illegal to sell it under a different name then it really is? Besides that, i only know of the Nexus devices, which are also split up into different carriers, but they've got the same hardware afaik.
Question: Does the SGH-I257M have FM radio?
Just bought one also, find any information on root ive searcheed everywhere but no sucess.
to get version of PDA, CSC
Lean416 & PoseyBAH : Type *#1234# on dial pad, you ll get version of your PDA, CSC.

So your I257M works with the 9195 roms? Is there any changes or differences of running the 9195 rom on the 257M?
Yes it works with 9195 roms. I don't really like touchwiz and I find the battery life better on cm10.2 than stock.

Awesome. Touchwiz can be solved with a different launcher but at least we know what roms we can use

I257M BELL... root... FM Radio, LTE?
Hello,
I've got Bell version of S4... I257M. What exact root method should I use? CWM?
Does I257M have FM Radio or not? It is sure not visible in apps menu. If I257M has same hardware (except 16GB of memory) as international version does it mean that FM Radio in Canadian version is not visible simply because Bell wanted customers to use Data plans + Internet radio + intentionally removed FM Radio app?
Can I flash [FIRMWARE][ROOT][ODIN] Prerooted FW SGSIV mini I9195 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375527 and get FM Radio? Will LTE work, I am on Fido network?
Thank you very much!
Use the i9195, they work with the i257M. I257M doesnt have the radio hardware in so fm radio won't work and if you flash a I9195 rom, it will show the phone being a I9195 in the model number under Settings, and you will lose some features such as the smart gestures the the I257M comes with.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Thank you for a quick reply, Omega2513. If there is no FM Radio hardware there is no point to flash I9195 rom as current stock rom suites me just fine. I just want to root + debloat + use apps that require root. What root + CWM version should I use?
Also, where can I get a stock Bell ROM for I257M in case I need to roll back to untouched stock rom? I can not find it anywhere.
Thank you!
The recovery and root I used was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 and it was easy to use, but any root for the I9195 will work. After rooting, you can go to ROM Mangers website and get the latest CWM from there. As for a stock Bell ROM, sadly I forgot to copy mine before I flashed so I don't know where one can be found. Since this is a newer model of the mini, it may be a while before someone uploads theirs

i dont think so, but someone else should chime in to be sure... i'm not risking flashing ANYTHING until our stock roms are available... just would be a stupid and risky move
but yes, the hardware looks to be the same from what bands are supported etc, so we'll have to see once it's available
