****This will NOT make a T999 model LTE capable!!! Simply put, it CANNOT happen!!!****​​​​
==========================================================================================================
NOTE: It is CONFIRMED that the T999L modem, does NOT work on the original T999. It will not brick the device, but you will have no connectivity.
The same has also been confirmed for the AT&T GS3 - I747. It will almost certainly be exactly the same for ALL variants of the S3!!!!!
==========================================================================================================
The ROM will work on a T999 with few to no problems though! (Ive been running it for about a week now!)​
***See Post #3 for instructions on How to Return to Stock***
As most of you know, T-Mobile has recently released a new version of the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, it seems that Samsung never releases a downloadable version of their firmware for newly released devices. This seems to be no execption, which means that there is no way to fully return to stock once you have rooted and begun flashing customs ROMs and whatnot. For Example: If you root by flashing CWM or TWRP, your stock recovery is now gone and there is no way to get it back......until now!
Over the past several days, I have been working with Motodefier to solve this issue, and I believe we have done so! What we have is a way for users to return to stock if they so desire.
***********Motodefier and I have decided to delay the Odin version of the firmware for the T999L, just to be safe. There are too many unanswered questions and while I think we have it down and would be ready for use, I do not want anyone flashing it until I am certain it will not brick their phone. We have not given up on it though, and will keep you guys posted. In the meantime, we do have an alternative method using the recovery.
I believe Moto is planning a debloated release soon, so be on the lookout for T999L based custom roms to hopefully start coming out soon.
To all of you T999L owners, please do not expect the devs of current ROMs to release additional builds based on this. Their current releases should be able to work on your device as is anyway. I will put together an MB7 kernel + modules zip that you can flash on top of these ROMs in case any of them do not fully function on your device.
In the end, any T999L builds will most likely come from people who actually own it.
Note: I do not have the T999L, so I unfortunately have to rely on others for testing. Where possible, I will test on my own device and will post the results. I will also be sure to label each item as Untested if it has not been.
I am confident everything will work as intended. I wouldn't release it otherwise. If you do decide to try any of this, please post your results. If there are any issues, I will work to solve them right away.
**If you see an item that is untested and you do flash it, please post your results. If it fails please also PM me and Motodefier for further assistance.
*****In the event of ANY FAILURE . Send me and Motodefier a PM, and post here so others know. We will make it top priority to get you back to stock and running normally.
***Please see Post #2 for a list of any reported bugs/problems.

(NOT WORKING! Link Temporarily Removed)
I suggest waiting until the others are tested before testing this one.
This contains the following underlying firmware partitions:
aboot.mbn
NON-HLOS.bin (modem)
rpm.mbn
sbl2.mbn
sbl3.mbn
tz.mbn
Note: Together, these are the equivalent of a Full Firmware as you would normally use if an official one were available. Once each piece has been tested and found working, I will put together a single flashable that will put you back on stock. I will also release a root66 version.
I had posted a couple of these a couple of days ago, but apparently no one wanted to test or no one saw them and they got buried pretty quickly. This is a request for anyone willing to test them out. As usual, I tried my best to make sure they are safe to use. If they do not work, I believe they will fail almost instantly without actually flashing to the device. Also, as usual, i cannot guarantee this, nor that it will not brick your device. This is testing AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!! Please make sure you have a nandroid backup ready, just in case!

If you see Motodefier, please remember to hit his Thanks button! Without him, this wasnt possible. He put in a lot of time and effort in all of it and more importantly, he took ALL the risk while experimenting and learning about the device!
I hope this proves helpful to some of you!
Huge Thanks to all who are participating in this project, especially those of you who have been willing to test everything for us! :highfive:

the rom itsself will flash but no full boot only splash screen
and no brick either just a fail to boot
i was able to restore a nandroid no issue thier
gonna just try to moddem now

can you try flashing the modem to see if you get lte

If the roms are not compatible with the t999 it would be better to ad another forum for tmobile android development lte.
Remember that even on the international devices the lte version is not compatible with the none lte and they have another forum for it.
But in anycase this would not and never bring lte to the t999.

im using tw so i will take the hit and report back to see if the new modem gets LTE ..im not even sure of they update towers in Bmore

althought on cm10 its using the H not the 3g of H+ like it noramlly did idk if that is their lte or if im just mistaking it for that

Do go by what Icon you are seeing.. Provile screenshots of speed test and settings/about phone/status/mobile network type

If we know for sure that the modem is safe I'd be willing to try it here in Phoenix. Just cant afford a brick tho.

Alpha_wolf said:

Dont you think it would have been a lot cheaper for Tmobile to just turn on lte to our s3 if it was compatible? I mean tmobile probably lost money with all of the units not sold that they had to give back that doesnt have lte.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

The reason the international s3 isnt compatible is the partition layout is different. Not the case here.
Thanks for testing. Did you test on a T999 or the T999L?
I think they can be made to be compatible. The L can flash existing roms as I understand it. I tried with both the T999L kernel and the md5 kernel snd it stuck on splash for me as well. May have to do with drivers/modules? Ill look into it though.

The T999 will not get LTE. The hardware is not there.
I Doubt the modem will brick a T999. Prob just wont work.
I know I dont have to say it, but its at your own risk on this stuff.
I mostly put it together for the T999L users to be able to go back to stock. Secondary is for development for the T999 for possible improvements.

Many have been requesting the ROM itself as there have been issues flashing it via KIES (gee, no wonder). I'm uploading the full copy so you can flash it via ODIN... This ROM is the exact same copy you will get from KIES, with NO MODIFICATIONS.
Download Here. This is for the LATAM version of the GT-I9000T FULL ROM, should work as well in other areas with the 850 Band.

Extracted from the latest Official Gingerbread 2.3.3[I9000TUBJV6] for the I9000T (thanks to caribbean_spur for the heads-up in this thread )
I flashed it myself and its working fine and fast! Download Here
Just flash it via ODIN under PHONE, select the file and you're set (don't tic repartition or other options, Keep It Simple). At the moment I haven't created a CWM version to flash it directly from the ROM; my guess is ODIN is the safest way to go.
CM7 Version (just tested under MIUI MCGv4.3 and v5.1, working fine) Flash via CWM
Post your results and enjoy!
that's mean that there is official 2.3.3 I9000T version? with I9000T 2.3.3 bootloader?
Posted the complete ROM.
thanks for this nice to have an updated modem with the band activated will try it out

It's working with MIUI 2.3.4, 2.6.35.7-GlitchV9 Kernel. I guess the only way you can find out is same as me ... TEST!
I've tested it so far with Stock 2.3.3 and MIUI.
Saludos.
CWM version attached. Not sure if it's working, will test it in a second.
Granted it should work but I may have messed up.
Thanks
Working on JVH
Oh my God! I flashed it over JL2 in CM7/MIUI and it went from 2 bars to 4 bars! There is no way to force a band in CM7, so JL2 kept on reverting to the inferior 900 band.
The GPS didn't work at first. Then I looked up the right ntp server from http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@. Mine was ca.pool.ntp.org. I got a fix but it keeps switching between 0 satellites and 6 satellites. The fix isn't as stable as JL2.
Altogether- JV6 must be focusing on the 850 band because I'm getting four bars now. This is good news for anyone in Canada!!!!

My friend... there IS indeed a way you can force WCDMA in some CM7 versions, I guess you divorced the search button?
Punch *#*#4636#*#*, go to Phone information go down to the Pull-down menu and select WCDMA Only.
Give it a try and see what happens.. I'm glad the modem helped you up there!

Not the same thing. You can't force band selection under cm7.
Modem is working well after a day of use under cm7 nightly 05/21. Idle drain may be a bit higher then jl2, but too early to say for sure.

Well, I lost my IMEI flashing to CM7 also, there is a guide in my signature how to backup/restore the IMEI(only if you have the nv_data file) , that's a MUST The most important file ANYONE should keep handy is the nv_data.bin
It actually depends on which ROM you come from, I didn't lose anything when flashing to this, so everyone will have a different results.
It's not ONLY for 9000Ts, Its a 850Mhz Oriented modem (very popular in Latin America, Australia, Canada, Caribbean, Mexico, Argentina and Brasil). I have flashed 9000m, and 9000 ROMs on my SGS, all are the same. The only "functional" thing that changes are the CSCs and the Modems.

were you able to adjust to a 850 signal? I am running latest MIUI and still haven't figured out if it's hardware or a modem.bin that can dictate an 850 signal. I would love to run 3G on my i9000 international but it's still a mystery to me.
Would be grateful to hear if anyone has some insight.
BTW I flashed it last night...batter life is significantly better but still on EDGE only.

As you all know by now so you need to have GB bootloaders in order to run GB firmware, this means that the same rules applies to this package as it does with the stock GB, Froyo bootloaders are no-go.
I haven't tested this package on my device (don't have I9000T), so I cannot tell how it performs, I hope that you will not face any problems using it.
Good luck to all of you.

Koodo Note 2 compatibility?

Hi everyone. So I Just got a note 2 the other day after having been using a nexus 4 for the past six months. I never use stock Roms and haven't since I got my s3 a year or so ago (I seemingly change phones often...). That being said I was looking into how to root this device and which Roms were compatible etc.
It seems all Canadian note 2 devices are the same? Rogers, Bell, koodo/telus etc? Am I correct in assuming this, and if so that any of the Roms found in this forums sub forums for aosp as well as other Roms like PA etc are compatible? (if it's compatible with the att note 2 my koodo note 2 is good to go?)
Also, it seems this devices forums are outdated and dying sadly, so can anyone recommend a recently active Rom, be it aosp or not, that is highly themeable and configurable, and preferably has good s-pen support?
Much appreciated!
Oh, and a link to the correct post for rooting this device and flashing new recovery (twrp or cwm) in its latest compatible version would be awesome too.
Thanks everyone!
There are two Canadian Note 2 models: the I317M (yours) and the T889V (mine).
So long as you don't try flashing a non I317M modem on your device, you can pretty much flash any t0lte/t0lteatt/t0ltetmo a.k.a N7105, I317(M) or T889(V) ROM out there. Along the same lines, do not flash anything meant for the N7100.
For a nice belt and suspenders approach: make backups of your EFS partitions with all known methods: EFS Professional text format, QPST qcn, "Synergy ROM" method recovery script. (I adapted the latter for the T889V and it should work as is for your device.)
Assuming your device already has the stock 4.3 ROM, you will burn the KNOX fuse by flashing anything custom or generally trying to root.
(There may be more steps involved for KNOX, you're on your own for that part: the only thing stock 4.3 I've flashed is the modem.)
To root, get the latest t0lte Odin-flashable TWRP image, apply SuperSU or superuser zip from there as desired.
There's still a fair amount of activity out here, I've been running Omni nightlies for a while now.
It's normal for things to slow down: Bugs get squashed, ROMs on a manual release schedule slow down because they've implemented what they wanted, automatically built ROMs get smaller incremental updates from upstream. There's been an uptick with the stock TouchWiz 4.4 releases in the pipeline (the N7105 Nordic Countries CSC has been pushed, others are incoming) and kernel sources also trigger some action. Another factor for slow down is that early adopter devices are going on two-years and people upgrade.
I hardly use the S-Pen so I can't help you that much with it. There's a couple open source apps that support it and that can be added to your choice of AOSP ROM to enable things like gestures or hand-drawn notes.

Great Question and great response.
I recently got the Koodo note 2. I finally switched coming from my well aged HTC HD2. Anyway I have a quick question. If i'm using a TW or a AOSP rom I can't connect to my Mac adhoc network. The old roms I used on My HTC had something baked into them that allowed that. Note sure if there's a special file I have to change. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you Darkshado for all your helpful posts!
1) I'm also considering one if these from Koodo, currently advertised to contain the dreaded 4.3 update. May I restate what your saying is t0lte for N7105, t0lteatt for I317M, and t0ltetmo for t0ltetmo. When I looked previously on the TWRP site I saw the 't' choices but no clear cross reference to device model number.
2) I've read for many many hours about the downgrade path to 4.1.1 to unlock and how this would blow the KNOX fuse. Considering I'd be buying the device new from Koodo, I'm not happy about the prospect of losing an entire 12 month warranty-assuming a broken KNOX.

This is a Note 3 rom for our Note 2's. I have the same phone as you are asking about. That rom will work for the I317M/I317 variants also.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504016
Comes with most of the N3 features including Air Command(very handy), and you can use the S5 GUI and some of the S5 apps also.
It's been very stable for me so far. I love it and it's my current daily driver.
Good luck!

1) Nope, t0lte is just as fine for the I317M. (If anything I'm even surprised the TWRP team still builds three separate recoveries. I'd have to look at the code for any meaningful differences, but I'm short on time to do that. Maybe ask on IRC?)
2) It's unfortunate, but then again there are other options, you could get a code from Koodo or elsewhere online; if you're adamant about keeping KNOX untouched. My understanding is that in Europe, the onus is on companies to prove that the user's root and ROM related activities caused problems with a given device. I'm thinking that the same would hold in many Canadian provinces if someone put up a fight in small claims court.

This is a Note 3 rom for our Note 2's. I have the same phone as you are asking about. That rom will work for the I317M/I317 variants also.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504016
Comes with most of the N3 features including Air Command(very handy), and you can use the S5 GUI and some of the S5 apps also.
It's been very stable for me so far. I love it and it's my current daily driver.
Good luck!

Looks fascinating! A brief read indicates its for the N7100 - thanks for clarifying that it works for the i1317M. Does Call Recording work for you?

I haven't tried. I can't test it at the moment either because I need to top my minutes up. D'oh! I should be doing that tomorrow sometime.
It's a great rom. Been using it for several days and no issues.

Thanks.
1) No need to check the TWRP code as your response was clear and helpful.
2) A local unlocker business told me: they have a new way that no longer requires downgrading to 4.1.1. With his codes, I could unlock the device without any additional software or PC for C$40. I explicitly asked about KNOX - he wasn't 100% clear but said he did not think it would affect it. He said they buy lists of unlock codes based on IMEI and resell them for a small profit. Koodo requires 90 days on Koodo + the same unlock $ fee. I wasn't planning on staying on Koodo that long. In perhaps the 8 hours by now I've spent reading about this on XDA, its still not certain a device with 4.3 can be customized without blowing the Knox efuse. Towelroot 'might' give me root without tripping it but the risk of losing a full 12 month warranty is not welcome. A used device might be OK if it was still on 4.1.x. If it had been downgraded from 4.3, though unlikely, I probably wouldn't know until after I got home. Otherwise I could root+custom right way and never mess with samsung roms.
Any suggestions are welcome!

You should be able to test it without using any of your minutes. Just call Koodo customer service from your handset (*611 I think) it should be a free call. When the voice menu begins, start recording. Ask a few questions like "Do you support custom ROMs?" or "Do you know the winning lottery numbers", or whatever, this is just a 2-way voice recording test. I use this trick all the time when testing. Enjoy.

Flashing things to SM-T705Y

Hi Guys,
I have a T705Y. Was wondering whether I have to flash stuff specific to the Y version (of which there doesn't appear to be much) or whether I can flash T705 stuff to it as well.
I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
D.S
Where did you get this one from? I'm not sure about flashing stuff on it because most roms and kernels are for the 705. Not sure if the 705 is compatible to the 700y. Is this also a Snapdragon or exynos?

A carrier in Australia are giving them out in a bundle at the moment, my Nexus 7 just happened to break so it seemed to work out.
No idea if it's Exynos or Snapdragon, haven't looked that far into it yet. Was simply asking the question in the hopes that somebody had a quick answer.
It's not a big deal. Some more searching suggests that CF-AutoRoot works, which would probably be enough for me to be able to uninstall / freeze a lot of the chaff on the device.
Thanks

I just got a new australian model sm- t705y. Has anyone flashed the taiwanese lollipop rom to it yet? Does it run good? Should i root before or after? I'm a newbie, thanks, Pet
Edit
I flashed the taiwanese lollipop rom with odin 3.09, it works beautiful, didn't need factory reset after, but it is specifically for the "y"-version of the sm-705. I am facing the same problem, don't know what the "y" means, except that it adds a certain bandwith for Australian 4G. I don't know if i can use stuff for normal sm- 705 or if that would cause problems. I will repost after trying, might take a while as i want to do a full backup first. If anyone has any clues regarding this issue i too would be very happy and
I too would be very very very interested in knowing this. Can't find any info on it other than a "maybe" from the Iron ROM creator.
The main reason I want it is because the Xposed framework doesn't work with current stock Samsung ROMs, yet there are no custom ROMs for the T705Y..
Has anyone taken the plunge and tried a custom T705 ROM on a T705Y??
FYI the T705Y is the Australian variant with 4G 700MHz band 28 for Aussie 4G. It has the Exynos 5 Octa 5420 (Adonis?)
..tempted to buy one with a broken screen just to try it but I don't have the money at the moment.
Sorry if double posting isn't allowed but just an update - I've tried deodexing so I can install Xposed but no luck - have gone through all the walkthroughs and troubleshooting I can find and after about 8 hrs total I've given up. I'll post back here if I get the balls to flash a T705 ROM or if I find a T705Y ROM that will allow Xposed.

Why do you need balls? It's a simple case of making a backup with twrp first which is reiterated on this forum about a million times then just flash away.
As I understand it there is still a risk of a hard brick which means you can't get back into TWRP, unless I'm mistaken?

used to have the T705 a long time back...went to the S2 T715...left that...got a great deal on T705Y practically new was sealed but sometimes wonder about those seals...anyway manufactured just in June this year...runs much better than T705 used to and guessing it is all software (has to be)..has 5.0.2 now (back then like a year back 4Q 2014 was kitkat and a horrible keyboard back then)...
checked that there is a s/w update of 212MB available not sure what that is for
in terms of the Y version...see the Sm-T235...I have that too (and had the Y version of that briefly...the Y version (also Taiwan) for the T235 there is identical to the non-Y version except for some LTE bands...same roms, recovery etc...can check the xda board tab 4 7.0..this is the LTE 235 I am referring to (now 230/231/237 differ) but Sm-t235 and 235y are basically identical. So here too, I think some frequencies are different (enabled bands but otherwise same)
by analogy I am pretty certain the 705 and 705Y have similar degree of similarity and differences like the 235 and 235y...if one can say that..just some bands on lte (235 has the 850, the 235Y has the 700 frequency for example)

Well just to let you know I have flashed countless custom roms on my t805. For quite a while I was using a custom t805y rom which ran very well with no issues. I also think there is a t705y version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3127127
I now use PhoeniX ROM.
Pretty much any rom can run on these devices regardless of region.
The only thing is you may need to restore or flash the boot.img and modem for your particular device if you encounter issues.
I have only ever had to restore the modem.
Well i flashed t705 recovery yesterday and chaimsaw
Latest su2.62 that also works on t235 5.1.1...xposed running too

Can you share the steps you took to flash the Rom, kernel and patch? Can you use the patch with another kernel or does it have to be with the simple kernel ? Also how s the battery with your setup ?? And finally do you have the edge features with the rom your using ???

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Some stuff I can answer. Some it's not been long enough. I flashed the ROM, because I INCORRECTLY misread the thread about a kernel that fixed in Call audio but this did NOT flash on the Edge.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-stockmod-kernel-t3100395/page16#post61081515
So, do NOT use the above reference. I flashed that kernel and it would NOT update my KT kernel 5/28 date that others stated had GPS issues. Reading that thread there was a GPS patch for that KT Kernel and I was using that and the in call audio patch I had referenced in my first post. NOT trying to confuse anyone. Just giving background that after installing the ROM and using the patch and that kernel, I had no incall audio. BUT, I also noticed that the kernel wasn't installing, even though it was saying successfully installed. I checked in settings/about device and KT was still on board.
OK...enough Background. I found the current simple kernel for our edge I referenced and that worked along with the audio patch.
YES, edge features work. ONLY that Simple kernel I referenced works. I tried the 5/28 KT and the 5/18 KT kernels. NO in call audio. Deep sleep functions perfectly for me too, so I assume the battery times will be comparable to KT's. It's been 4 hours since I installed. I was at 92% at that time. I show 75% remaining as i post here and I have been listening to milk music last hour. Testing GPS for the other user. Some messaging and Browsing.
Order to install:
I factory reset after first setting up TWRP backup. The CarHD ROM offered an option to backup your EFS in Aroma installer. I picked that along with Factory wipe option. During the Install it asked for CSC region of choice. There was an option for United States with initials LRA. So I chose that.
After installing the ROM, I had KT on board, so I basically let the ROM boot up and I setup everything with KT running....but that's when I found out patching didn't help in call audio. So I basically recommend after your setup, go back to recovery and install the kernel. Then the audio patch file. THEN, delete Both cache files and reboot. You should get the Android upgrading all your user apps at this point and you should be good to go.
I'm sure you could probably flash the kernel and patch file, PRIOR to even first setting up, but I didn't do that so I can't tell you that will work. Can't hurt to try that.
INITIAL boot up before getting the Start Screen was a good ten minutes. It's NOT bootlooping. Just give it time. Get a cup of coffee and smile at the boot animation while waiting. It's definitely nice

I am copy pasting my original post so that the files are in one place here again:

I knew it would work. Not sure the CSC thing is really that critical. I know on my S5 I was using UK CSC codes on the early International F roms. I will try flashing all the stuff at same time before booting up, on next install try, but I have to say I like this ROM a lot so far. Just discovered the gradient settings for the status bar. Swipe to the right from Home screen to get the OTA updates, themes, 3Min Battery stuff, etc for this ROM. Some of the inverted colors make a few apps hard to see menu choices correctly. Had that issue with Alliance a few times depending on theme choices and all the color options. Just an FYI.

I hope you don't, but do you think a new os like 5.0 or even 5.1.1 gives new modems?
Ok, so far it looks very hopeful and possible for us to do this and not brick our phones. If it it's a complete flash (ROM, binary radio band/modem, and base kernel) then yes. I have found that a number of ROMs do in fact have all three and it does work. The 4.4.2 or the 4.4.4 will in deed cause an OTA to Lollipop.

There is no lollipop OTA on this device and it already supports the 2100 band I thought
Correct, the radio/modem does, however most of the bands we need are software locked. I have looked through a few of the forums covering how to modify our NV items, yet it seems to be a loose not to flash a new, stable ROM.
CM 12.1 (release, not the nightly) is a 5.1 lollipop ROM that I am trying to find out if is a full flash with everything we need. I'm not able to post the link, but it is easily googled.
I am awaiting a reply.

As far as I know you have to be on a stock based ROM to modify the NV items, at least I've only had success on stock since the modifications required using the hidden dialer menu
I finally received an answer on the modem/radio and it is No. That is an optional item they do not mess with and was also recommend we don't attempt to alter. xBkKx you may be correct considering they (CWM) did not state either stock or not. Secondly, I have also found in the near future, Tmo plans to change frequencies again due to the good levels of penetration achieved at 700mhz. Now, I must again find the chip set specs for the radio to see if we are able to achieve 700mhz.
Oh btw xBkKx, I did verify you are correct there is not an OTA for our phones. Turns out it is accomplished by batch, not OS. And the Note2 idea for an update was killed along time ago, just wishful thinking of others. Meant to mention that fact earlier.
I also have been trying to find info as to how "correctly" alter, modify the NV items for the radio do we can switch on more bands, yet it appears illusive. Does the SIM control these bands from being used? Does the firmware? Or both? !!! I can't seem to locate this info reliably. Might need to start a different thread just to answer these questions, but I am still hopeful and busy looking.......
