Hello.
I bought the SGH-i747 SIII, The phone is unlocked, everything works fine, I can receive calls.
The problem I have is that the Data doesn't work, I live in Rep Dom and I'm using the phone with Claro (has the same frequency as AT&T), I have the plan data and APN configured but I can't make the Data works.
I'm using the Stock AT&T firmware (4.0.4 ice cream sandwich)
Please Help :crying:
Is your imei intact?
*ignore. Missed the part about you having stock firmware.

it could have been flashed back to stock before resale.
OP, you say it's clean but just so we can say the question was asked, your imei doesnt show a couple zeros, correct?

I don't see couple of zeros on my imei.
Also I made the update to jelly beam, but the problem continues.
I put a picture in attachment, and you can see that there aren't any kind of Data.

I made the update with Odin, It was successful.
I have the correct APN.
The only thing that I can do now is to try with another sim card. And see what happen.
BTW Thanks a lot for trying to help. :good:

Are you rooted ? If so can you flash another modem ?
I wish I knew more about how other countries did the whole using another SIM card deal even though technically it's still the US in a round about way.

Well I'm new (noob) about this.
I downloaded the application "Root Checker" to see if It rooted, The application says this rooted.
How can I flash another modem?

It wasn't you who rooted it ? I assume you got it second hand and someone unlocked it and it just won;t work on your network ? did someone use it before on Claro ?
Is it a i747 or i747m model ?
Below is the link to all the modems. You just reboot into recovery and flash it there. Make sure its the one for your model. It's an option to try.

You're right, I rooted the phone using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28019751
The phone was bought in USA, when I bought the phone was locked to the original carrier (AT&T), on at&t network the 4G worked without problem.
Nobody used the phone on Claro before.
It a i747.

Ahhh makes sense now. So you rooted with the rooted :
Puerto Rico Image - New!
Current I747MUMBLL1 (JB 4.1.1)
Mirror 1: Download root66_PCT_I747MUMBLL1.7z
If you don't have a custom recovery do this:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecove
then boot into recovery (hold power and volume buttons down and then release power when screen flashes or use the goo manager app to boot into recovery)
and flash a modem and see if you get a signal.

A buddy of mine trashed his SGS3 and got it stuck in a boot loop.
He was also handicapped by being on a MAC
As he was able to get into both download mode and recovery, (CWM 5.5.0.x) I assured him he could recover his phone..
Got him to dl loaded the following ROM, and got it copied to his external SD card:
[ROM] Deodexed + Completely debloated T999UVLEM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752327
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then booted into recovery, did a factory reset, installed the ROM, (twice) then did a fix permissions
His SGS3 will now boot up to the desktop, and shows the phone signal
The remaining issue is he does not have data working, and there also seems to be an issue with the "home" button.
If this was my Sprint SGS3, I would be thinking there is a SW issue with the modem drivers or some such, but I am unsure how to check/verify this on the t-mobile version, and was looking for tips on what to load, and/or what to check to resolve the lack of data signal on his SGS3.
Phone info:
Samsung SGS3 - SGH-T999
carrier: t-mobile
baseband version: T999UVLH2
Any tips?

Does he still have his IMEI? Might either need to inject the IMEI back in, or if it's still intact, you might just want to try and Odin back to stock and start from scratch.

This is my preference, but as he has a MAC, thats doesn't seem to be an option
Does he still have it? easiest way to check is *#06# on dialer
Also is there a possibility it might be blacklisted ?

Can you also ask him to check the APN settings for Tmobile. It will be in more settings for networks and Access Point.

Hey Shawn,

Im basically a genius.
I flashed my original rom to the t-mobile one and did NOT make a backup
Now i have a sgh-t889v with t889 rom
Ive tired everything including what adidas recommended but nothing...big NO SIGNAL and no IMEI
I msg'd someone who's got the exact phone as me but they have not replied. He's rooted so he should be able to make a full nandroid backup but no reply....

Greetings all.
I rooted my sgn2 using the toolkit and installed TWRP.
Then proceeded to install Omega rom.
In TWRP, I wiped cache dalvik syetem, factory reset.
I now have my IMEI as unknown and I do not have a efs backup. Is there a way to restore my imei/efs partition? I have searched all of xda without a resolution. I seriously wished I backed up my efs partition.
Please let me know if there is anything I could do.
Thank you,

I took the backup and tried to restore on shawns phone however the Baseband still remains the same it wont change it....
I donno why it is happening i thought when you do a cmw backup it backs your modem and all....
Any suggestions?
I've seen this happen with the original note with "0" as the IMEI. i had to do a warranty swap.
So what I am gathering is that some people flashed a rom that was for the international note 2 and now they have no imei or signal is that about right? So was the rom posted in tbis fourm? Or did they just do something really stupid?

Ha your probally right. I havent gotten a chance to read up on this phone yet I worked 102 hojrs last week when I am not workin I am sleeping. But that is over now. One thing I noticed is it seems like samsung might have used one design for all the different carriers but I would assume that the software is still a little different than the international one.
hey i flashed this modem , also flashed to original stock rom, no luck i get imei as 0/00 and if i put sim card it shows searching
please helppppp thanx

You don't have to downgrade to 4.1.1 just downgrade the modem. Once that's done the hidden menu will pop up. Then you can upgrade the modem again. Upgrading modem after unlock will NOT erase unlock

Just download the modem from the link, reboot into recovery and flash the modem in recovery (TWRP is recommended) it's the same a flashing a rom but you don't have to wipe, just install and reboot.

Thanks for your quick response. I've been out of technology for a while and am a little new to this.
I downloaded the modem, and know how to reboot into recovery mode, but how exactly do I flash the modem? Dp I simply put the unextracted .zip file in a certain location on my phone, then go to recovery mode?
And to be honest, I don't even know what TWRP is. I assume that I download it from here?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080001&highlight=twrp

TWRP is a recovery script, I'm assuming you use CWM recovery then, right?
Yes you place the modem in a folder easy to find in recovery. Yes you flash the unextracted .zip

I downloaded the modem, and know how to reboot into recovery mode, but how exactly do I flash the modem? Dp I simply put the unextracted .zip file in a certain location on my phone, then go to recovery mode?
And to be honest, I don't even know what TWRP is. I assume that I download it from here?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080001&highlight=twrp
Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it.

I appreciate the help of both of you, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Do I have to be rooted in order for this to work then?
I need a hand here guys. I'm wanting to root and flash roms
Just got this note 2. Do I need to downgrade? I'm on 4.3 Thanks

Hi,
Got an GT-I9300 from Amazon just to discover that is a SGH-I747M but tweaked to show it as a 9300.
Now I'm stuck in 4.04 and can't upgrade to 4.1.2, tried stock 747m ROM but odin upload fails. Ofcourse Kies upgrade is not available.
Any way to solve this?

You sure you don't have that flipped? An I9300 that shows as a 747m

Before you attempt to flash anything, download an app to verify which processor or amount of ram you have. If you flash the wrong thing, you'll end up with a nice shiny paperweight.

I'm pretty sure is a 747, if you check the screenshots I posted, the phone has 2 cores (vs 4 of the 9300) and more RAM than the 9300.

Yes, check the posted screenshots. Says hardware is 747
Your links aren't working to for me to see the pics but if the hardware is i747 then you will only want to flash i747 ROMs. Its a fairly simple matter to edit the file descriptors to change the information that shows in the about phone menu. I have been seeing alot of this from recent Amazon S3 purchases, sounds like some kind of scheme to make more money.

Just replace the spaces in the original post links
I've tried with 747 roms without luck, thats why I'm asking what I should do in this case
I'm pretty sure that I'm not the first wanting to have the correct ROM
Ahh silly me, didnt notice the space
Anyways, it has the correct gpu/chipset to be an i747, so your suspicions are correct. The next question is what isn't working when trying to flash to stock? Error codes etc.

Dont worry. I put the space because this forums blocks links for new users
Software update with OTA simply says "error processing". -> i.imgur. com/0ALVRSd.png
Over Kies gives the message I posted on the first screenshot
I can't remember the exact error on ODIN, I'll take a look and post

Yeah, similar issue here. About Phone says i9300. When I booted into download mode, it said SGH I747. When I tried using GooManager to install a custom recovery, it detected the phone as 'd2can'. I'm bewildered.

d2can is an i747m aka the canadian version which is identical to the us variant hardware wise.

Before i did anything i would make sure that you are able to flash a stock rom in case of any problems.

And that brings us to my other question: Which ROM is gonna be the stock ROM? The i747 in the Download mode screen?

I would recommend following the steps in this thread to verify the hardware is infact that of an i747, if so use Odin the flash a stock i747 rom of your choice.

Except 4.3 stock unless you want to be there for a while(can not downgrade) and face a whole world of hurt if you are not using your exact carriers modem/bootrom.
So guys is there any solution? I can't flash stock 747 ROM via odin or kies. I'm stuck on 4.04 forever?
kitkat finally Variant sgh-i317m telus, rogers, koodo etc Enjoy! :laugh:

Working
Which one of those carrier ROMs are shipped with the least amount of bloatware?
Sooo... When we getting a flashable rooted knox-removed version?
These firmwares don't carrier lock our phones do they?
Anybody try custom recovery (via Odin) and root with this?

I'll pull and deknox when I get home and make a zip
Editownloading now so hopefully not much longer guys. Long long day
I installed it then philz and flashed agn kernel no problems. As far as bloatware the Rom's are all the same its the csc that sets the carrier if you explore the csc folder all the carrier files are in there so it should not set a carrier lock
I wonder if i317 can flash the bootloader as I'm tired of the 4.4 non bootloader charge bug.

Working on one now
after flashing TWRP 2.7.0.0, I flashed SuperSu update 1.8.0 via TWRP, updated supersu and removed knox crap
one thing that's odd, is that TiBu only recognized 69 of my 158 backed up apps :-/
edit --> looks like TiBu was just being a bugger, because it kept saying my backup folder wasn't writable. anyway. no issues otherwise.
\m/
downloaded the bell version but ill wait a bit till i install. I dont want any TiBu or cwm issues. Easiest way to root afterwards?
ok

i check now
Uploaded twice but AFH keeps kicking me. Aaahh. Trying again
Downloaded Bell version
So far so good, philz touch recovery flashed + SuperSU 1.94, removed all knox crap then used TIBU to debloat. Calls, Data, Wifi, Gps, and everything else working properly, no issues at all and very stable
it's not that bloated as I though (believe me you have to see any Claro Puerto Rico FW to see what real bloating is lmao)
Edit: forgot to mention that was able to restore all my appz with no issues as well
Hope this clears any questions
