OK my sister in law and her fiance bought gs3s yesterday from att here in Louisiana USA.
One is i-747 and one is i-747m, now I did some research and figured out the "M" is the Canadian version per say.
Now they are letting me go flash happy with them I've found ROMs and rooting etc but I've seen issues with modems and etc maybe....
But since they are for sure USA phones does it really matter on what I flash? Or do I have to make sure the "M" gets special attention?
Sorry for the longevity of this just trying to be precise for its not my personal phones lol
Is that a hemi? No silly its Paranoid Android!

I'm in Canada so I have the i747m and I've flashed AT&T Roms with no problems. When I do flash AT&T Roms though my phone becomes branded as an AT&T model(i747) but other than that nothing changes. As always make a backup and happy flashing.

im also in Canada and i have the i747m. The AT&T Roms work fine.
Thank y'all, I was pretty sure it wouldn't be a big deal, but again not my personal phones so I wanted a triple reassurance

I am looking at purchasing the Note 2 but can really only find ones in my price range that are on US Cellular. I have unlimited data on VZW and do not want to upgrade and lose it. Verizon Tech support said that it "may" be possible to flash the US Cellular Note 2 to VZW but they do not guarantee it will work. I have some knowledge of rooting and unlocking but want to make sure that this version of the Note will actually work on VZW. Since VZW has given me the OK to flash one, that should cover me I think. Does anyone have experience with this?

by the way. good thread, but wrong area
Sorry about wrong area... However... Isn't the T-Mobile and AT&T version on the same type of network? I'm more concerned as to if the US Cellular one will work on VZW

I believe he means "wrong area" as this question belongs in the Q&A section, not the Original Android Development section of the forum.

Yes. I do understand what he's saying.... I don't know of a way to move my thread. I believe a MOD has to do this. I do not want to double post.
I can't believe that nobody has tried this. What about if it were a Sprint Phone converting to Verizon? Wouldn't it be the same since US Cellular is also CDMA? Could I just unlock it and flash the Verizon ODIN file on the device? Or is there a Hardware Specific issue with the model number?
Anybody?
So... just loading the VZW Bootloader and trying to load the VZW software keeps stopping at tz.img and fails. Then I have to load the boot-insecure.... etc... to get back.
Anybody have experience here?
My sprint contract is coming to an end and was thinking about switching to us cellular and giving them a try.
Can I use my sprint s3 on us cellular? And if so what do I have to do? I am rooted already.
Thanks

You'd need to flash your phone to USC. The process would be similar to flashing to other carriers, but you would need the USC info instead.

So thats all I have to do is flash a usc rom and get a contract with usc then activate my phone?
Thanks
Now ive done some searching but I dont see a usc galaxy s3 forum anywhere.
Are0 they hidden somewhere?

It's like teamusccellular.com or something
But you first need a USE pre-activated phone to pull the info from.

I need some help in understanding this Samsung galaxy note 2
I have been reading all that I can about my new phone a Samsung galaxy note 2 SGH-i317
from what I can tell from my lack of phone Geekizum there is two models a 7000 and 7005??
7000 is European 3g?? and the 7005 4g is USA?? then there are the sprint, Verizon , AT&T, and T-mobile fall under the 4g USA model??
my question is are all the phones from the USA Big four the same phone with different brands on them or are they made differently for each
company?? if not then why are some custom roms made for different phones i.e., sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile
Question if I have rooted my phone and have a custom recovery install can I install any rom?? or go from 4.1.2 to say 4.4???
the unlocked phone Fry's sold me ended up to be a AT&T phone but my carrier is T-Mobile so I wish to be able to find and use the t mobile hot spots but they are not on this AT&T phone
I have downloaded these roms the 1- Jedi X20,2- CleanROM ACE 5.0, and JellyBam v9.00
I have noticed the this site has banned the JellyBAM rom???
so if there is a better rom the jedi x20 and cleanroom ace v5 can someone point me that way Please??
but overall what are the differences between the phone if any and why????

I'm not very active here but I believe all of your questions can be answered within existing threads and/or a few Google searches. You probably haven't gotten a response because of that. There are even forums for each model of the phone.
I bet if you do a bit of research and come back with a more specific question that is posted within a related thread, you will see a response.
The folks here are really helpful but it's a lot to ask them to rewrite/repost information that is already posted and can easily be found.

It may be the structure of your post. No one knows where to start.
If maybe you'd thrown a couple of questions out, you would have gotten answers. I read it three times and it's still WTF.
And the post above mine is correct. Goggling for the phone differences on your own, eliminates cluttering up the forum with answers you could have already found, and may already have.
Basically the N7100 and N7105 are the international versions of the Note 2. Each carrier, Sprint, TMO, Verizon, ATT has their own version of the software basically to load all their own crapware on it.
So there are different versions of ROMS supporting those carriers, with radio files to support their networks.
I have been searching for months and I see a TON of posts where people say they HAVE flashed to Cricket (and discuss their various problems), but I am unable to find ANYTHING about how to flash to Cricket. Every lead is a dead-end. They either bring me to pages that do not work, or people who want me to send them my phone. I get that this phone is old and maybe that is why all the links are dead? But any help would be much appreciated.
As far as concerned currently you can't. Ever since AT&T bought it they've allowed certain use of cdma. But as time passed on they were mostly focused on gsm over cdma. Therefore currently only the people with grandfathered plans may use cdma. If not then they have to have a AT&T phone or an unlocked gsm phone to use their services. Long story short yes there was a way to flash to cricket. But not anymore :/ sorry about that bud. But small heads up! If you find the AT&T version of the phone you dont even have to unlock it!
