Hello everyone at XDA.
Recently I bought a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 T-999 (Base Model T999UVALEM ). Howerver I am curious if this phone can be patch with Mobilicity "Canada Carrier" Stock Rom (T999VVLALE6 )?

I wouldn't, I've heard mixing the Canadian and T-mobile ROMs is a one-way ticket to brick. Stick to ROMs designed specifically for the SGH-T999 (T-Mobile version).
We could port it. Why do you want that rom?

Don't mention it. I was so stupid and didn't look around before purchasing this phone.
I am a Canadian Mobilicity user, I usually buy T-Mobile phone, but this time i didn't realize Mobilicity carry GS3. With T-Mobile custom Rom there alot of junk apps. Such as T-Mobile Hot-Spot, Access T-Mobile else. Since I saw SGH-T999 and SGH-T999v are the same spec just wonder if I can load Mobilicity Rom to my T-Mobile GS3 phone. So that i can use their custom apps
You can jut copy their apps to /system/app/ and they should work.

I am looking for a Note 2 to work with Bell Mobility in Canada.
From a spec comparison the i317 and i317M (Bell/Telus) are the same in terms of frequency, 2G 3G and LTE.
1. Can I use an unlocked ATT on Bell? What would be the problem/limitations?
2. What is the "M" anyway? I had a i9000M and it seems to be a different modem? But what modem, what will it affect?
Bottom line: if an ATT i317 will work fine with my Bell, I'd rather get an ATT phone. Looking into the future, an i317 will have more custom ROM support than an i317M.
Thanks.

1. Yes
2. The m just signifies that it's the Canadian model

Follow up question:
1. If the m simply denotes a canadian model with no other difference, why is rogers note 2 an i317 ans not i317m?
2. Do you think the i317m will need to be flashed differently than the i317? I know that my i9000m needs to be flashed somewhat differently than the i9000.

not sure how to change title or poll.
I clicked edit, and I am able to change the content, but the title is fixed.
Happy to do it if I can be shown how.
Meanwhile, does anyone care to answer my questions?
Thanks.
I'd guess that the difference is due to bilingual labels, licences, documentation, packaging, software(?), etc. The FCC ID's are the same (and I am guessing that the AT&T Note II's IMEI/sn label doesn't have an Industry Canada ID).

Can someone show me how to find the FCC ID's for i317 and i317M?
what does it mean when 2 devices have the same FCC ID? Does it mean that the hardware is identical?

FCC ID is found under the battery
My Bell Note II is: A3LSGHI317
For a user, its same. No difference at all.
Just at internal documents its different, as Canadian model also supports French as official language.

This isn't necessarily true. I had an HTC Desire Z, it's American counterpart was the G2. The only hardware difference was the 3G radios, and they share a single development community
Our Note II should be identical hardware wise so we should have identical rom support
my rogers one is i317m not i317

Hi,
I also want to replace my I9000M by a i317/i317M.
Did you finally buy an AT&T phone?
Are you satified?
Did you have to flash a "Bell" modem in it?
Regards,
For anyone wanting to get a stock firmware for the Canadian Note II They have finally been uploaded to the Samsung Kies servers lastnight.
For those that know how to use CheckFus to check and download firmware files off of Samsung servers here is the information.
Model: SGH-I317M
HIDSWVER: I317MVLALJ2/I317MOYAALJ2/I317MVLALJ2/I317MVLALJ2
All Canadian Galaxy Note II's are using the same firmware and Samsung Canada has decided to bundle them together in one, so there is no change in the CSC name. Everything is the same except for what CSC your actually using for your carrier and its software extras+wifi settings.
Just use the following Product Codes to get the right one for your carrier:
BMC = Bell
RWC = Rogers
TLS = Telus
VMC = Virgin Mobile
BWA = SaskTel
I see Sammobile.com has just finished processing the Rogers one and Samsung-updates.com has already processed the SaskTel one. Im sure they will have the others later on as well.
Are you sure that VMC is Virgin mobile and not videotron? I didnt know Virgin sold the Note?

Yes I'm sure VMC is Virgin, all of the product codes are short forums for the carriers
VMC is short for Virgin Mobile Canada
BMC is short for Bell Mobility Canada
RWC is short for Rogers Wireless Canada
TLS Telus
SaskTel is the only Odd man out here, with BWA , but I believe it stands for Bell Western Alliance, but its really just a shot in the dark. But I do know that SaskTel gets their phones and firmwares from Bell though so makes sence.
Videotron is VTR. and They also don't have the LTE enabled version of the Note II which is model SGH-T889V
Saweeeest finally

I've also finished making a root injected Bell rom a couple hours ago just haven't had the chance to test it yet. If all goes well then I'll do the others as well. Don't want to get anyone's hopes up though so dont hold your breath as I'm still an newbie at Andriod development stuff lol.

Is this a new firmware or the original one that came with the phone?

This is the version the phones shipped with
So if I flash this with Odin, will the status no longer be "modified", and will OTA work? I understand that I will lose root.

This is incorrect. Verizon uses CDMA and ATT uses GSM. The phones are not compatible.

^ this
but you can actually change from GSM to CDMA from your *#197328640# (stock 4.1.1) but not sure if that'd work
but for the most cases, reason to unlock AT&T S3 is to use it for T-Mobile ;p

^ this. Flashing any Verizon modems, ROMs, ect can lead to a paperweight. The phone has different hardware that allows it to operate on a GSM network and will not allow it to run on a CDMA network. You would have to get a Verizon phone to work on Verizon or go to a different network. T-Mobile for instance accepts att sim cards (with reduced functionality due to different frequencies, but at least you can still use the phone)

Yes unless you're buying a T mobile S3. Dont try flashing a tmo rom on your At &t s3 you'll probably brick your phone.
