[Q] Any MTS S3 Users here? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Have you rooted your phone, are you able to get tethering to work without a tethering plan?
Is there a stock rom for MTS available yet, I've searched but found few mentions of MTS

The Russian carrier? I doubt there are any MTS specific ROM's on here, but if your phone is unlocked it would work I assume as long as the frequencies are the same. You might need a different modem. I use Task650 4.1.2. ROM, and he has Russian built in as a system & keyboard language.

lol, yes, i got MTS , was just going to askthe same question
and no its not the russian one, MTS CANADA
just got my s3 3 days , and still didnt find a root!
Just found this and works http://androidjinn.com/root-galaxy-s3-i747m-vldlk4-android.html

All Canadian carriers of Galaxy S3 are using the SGH-I747M which is the SGH-I747 on AT&T. You can use Roms from AT&T Galaxy SIII sub-forums. I am currently on MTS here in Winnipeg with my S3.

naztybox, what root did you use??

If you want free-tethering, why not use FOX-Fi from the Google Play store? You don't even need to be rooted to use it.

I am on MTS also. I used the toolkit available from the AT&T forum to root my phone, install CWM, etc. The toolkit is the easiest to use. Just use option 53 for your device and it will work perfectly. Here is a link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665

To use tethering you just need to go into your APN settings for sp.mts and change APN type from internet + mms to interet mms and dun. The factory tethering app should now work!

I'm in Jamaica, and AT&T is not my i747's official carrier, so this wouldn't work for me.

Hey - new GS3 user on MTS. If any of the ROMs / Kernels are compatible with Rogers, would they also be compatible with MTS? I want to 100% confirm this before I start flashing anything new. I was able to root following the "Simple" root instructions posted in the sticky in this forum...

Yes they would. There are the same phones

Sorry for necroing a thread but did you guys have any problem with data usage after rooting? I can get my mts connection to make phone calls but my data usage does not work for internet.

Hey I had the exact same issue and I thought it was just the AOKP rom I put on my phone that maybe wasn't compatible with MTS so I tried Slimbean and same issue came up so after looking into it I found this and it works.
Google this "MTS APN" and the first link should be an MTS link saying "Using Non-MTS Devices | MTS" click on that one and follow what it says under Android Operating System.
I tried just posting the link but I can't until 10 posts to prevent spam.

[RESOLVED] [Help] Captivate Glide At&T

Hello everyone. Recently I bought a Samsung Captivate Glide i927 at&t and unlock the GSM by code. Right now im having problem because i can update the phone to the new android version 2.3.6. When i check the Software update option it said that there is no update to make all is up to date. I want to know if these is a ROM problem or i should flash the Stock ROM in the Phone. Can anyone help me? Thank You.

Unless you are on AT&T network, you cannot update as it is OTA.
So i can't update my phone because I'm not an at&t client?

Yes, as well as not being directly connected to their network. The OTA updates from AT&T will only push via the AT&T data network. Requests routed from outside that network are denied. Not sure if the link above has it, but I believe someone extracted the update package. Personally, I'd recommend going to a custom ROM, but if you'd like to stick to the stock ROM, the stock Rogers ROM will work, and doesn't contain the AT&T Bloatware, as well as not having Carrier IQ installed (which was the secondary update besides the kernel version from AT&T)

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?

[Q] Tethering on rooted stock AT&T Galaxy 3?

Hello,
I did a search, but the only reference to tethering seem to involve custom ROMs. I have rooted the stock phone and need to use wifi tethering for my Win8 tablet. Is this possible? I tried turning on tethering in the phone settings, but it says to contact AT&T. So I downloaded a wifi tethering program, but no wifi hot spots show up on my tablet.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

there are touchwiz-based roms (if you prefer that look/style) in the Android Development section and AOSP-based roms in the Original Android section. look over both sections to see what you might like. read up. most touchwiz roms have been modified and have native tethering. tethering is also standard on the AOSP roms.
installing a custom recovery and rom are covered in the attached directions. cheers

Got Barnacle but it's not working. Says "Wifi: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint". I suspect it's some monkeying around by AT&T...
I already told you that you can find a stock based rom in the Android development section that has tethering established on it. That feature will be listed among the other features in the rom OP. Do some reading/research for yourself if you truly want tethering instead of leaning on a half-baked app supplied by someone who's intel comes from straight talk friends. These developers are on this site for a reason...they're the best. Cheers
What's the ROM version on your phone? Flashable mods have been made for all the stock ROMs...
Assuming you're on the stock AT&T 4.1.1 release, you'll need to flash a modified framework-res.apk in order to tether.

Stock T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Rom on unlocked ATT S4??

Hey there guys,
I looked everywhere to find the answer to this question, but I have yet to find it. My roommate just bought an unlocked ATT Galaxy S4 and he has T-mobile service. However, he doesnt get wifi calling and that feature is vital. So here is my question:
Is it possible to flash the 100% stock odin T-Mobile Galaxy S4 rom on an unlocked ATT Galaxy S4 without any issues? What should I do? I appreciate any help out there that I can get.
Andrew
From my research (due to the exact same issues), the ATT s4 has different radio hardware, so it wouldn't work, at least not with a stock T-mobile rom.

But if I flash the tmobile radio or the modified att radio with AWS enabled, I should be ok right? The thing I worry about the most is bricking the device via odin flash.
There are threads about applying an AWS patch to AT&T phones to make them work on T-Mobile's network. I have not personally tested but was under the impression the radio hardware was ok it was more of a matter of TMo using one frequency for download vs upload on AT&T (or vice versa). A TMo sales rep told me he did that on his girlfriend's phone (which is an S3) and got it to work fine.

Don't Odin flash different variant's 100% stock images. If it's a CWM/TWRP flashable ROM you won't have any problems so long as you use the AT&T kernel. Flashing other variant's radios/firmware may cause problems. With you having an AT&T device, use modem/baseband/firmware. The AT&T AWS Enabled Radio can be found here
I have been searching the web for long time try to find the exactly same answer, but I haven't found any reliable source on it. If anyone has tried this and work, please post a guide here for us, thanks ahead!

-mobile hotspot, as it is included in my plan but the AT&T rom won't let me use it

SGH-M919 is the T-Mobile variant, so it should be no problem.
The easiest way to go back to stock is to use KIES, but that will revert you back to V.
You can download stock and flash with ODIN. As long as it is stock T-Mobile and you have a T-Mobile account, WiFi calling will work fine.

No, the modem wouldn't be your problem. Since you are already updated to the official 4.4.2, you now have KNOX to worry about. If you don't care about setting the 0x1 flag, your best bet would more than likely be to flash a custom recovery and a modded/stock ROM specifically for the M919 from the Android Development section. You keep mentioning that you have a Nextel device... just to confirm, you have a T-Mobile SIM, correct? Because if not, WiFi calling won't work for you anyway.
Yup, I have a T-mobile account and the phone has a T-mobile SIM in it
I don't think that KNOX flag is an issue as it is an unlocked Non T-mobile phone.
If I have an issue with the phone at all T-mobile is not going to support it.
The model phone I have apparently is exactly the same as the T-mobile branded phone, when I registered it with Samsung they identify it as a T-mobile phone.

Yeah, most every ROM posted in the development section is stable, TouchWiz or AOSP. Just make sure you read the OP to confirm that whichever ROM has WiFi calling included as there are TW ROMs which have been ported to our device from other carrier's S4s.... Only those specifically for the M919 will have WiFi calling and it will be specified in the OP. I'm not going to recommend which ROM to flash, but from someone who's tried them all... you can't make a bad decision whatever you choose.

Yes, you can. The only S4 ROMs you should stay away from are those made for the i9500 and non-standard S4's (i.e. S4 mini, S4 Active, etc). Any other variant of the standard S4 (including the i9505G) is good to go; just use a kernel for your specific device. On that note though, the i9505 and M919 kernels are interchangeable, so there's no need to follow that protocol when using our ROMs for your device and vice versa.

Thanks bro for your reply, that's great to know and gained extra 150+ ROMs thread as well really good to use great ROMS in this section
After doing some research my question:
The reason I can't use this firmware is due to the fact that my current baseband is higher than the one I was attempting to flash.
I have FNE2 and was trying to flash FNB4?
Thoughts?
Still looking to do this did anything change here? Has anyone successfully with flashing this with the stock ROM?
I'm a T- Mobile customer
Thanks
I have an unlocked Nextel version 4.42 of the SGH-M919Vzlmnx Baseband / modem / PDA version M919VWXUFNE2
