I have a question I'll be buying a At&t S3 from someone on Friday it's not unlocked but I'll be unlocking it for tmobile cause that's what I use currently. So the question is once I unlock it and root it do I use tmobile S3 roms or do I use the AT&T custom roms ?

AT&T roms only. Your hardware is still AT&T so your software should be AT&T.
If you use a rom for another phone company's phone, you risk the chance of bricking.

Q's go in Q&A.
And you can use either AT&T or TMO. Both will work fine.
Thank you for the replies mods can u please close

I got my unlocked s3 so I can use it on T-Mobile and hate edge so I was wondering if flashing the blaze modem would allow me to get 4g like the at&t galaxy note did.

Blaze is a .gs2, it would probably brick. I wouldn't risk it. If anything I'd try the t-mobile .gs3 radio.

I been thinking...instead of messing with all that and end up with a brick, why just not sell it on ebay and buy an actual Tmobile one or maybe trade with someone willing to. I would look at the selling price for an AT&T GS3 on ebay and how much would a Tmobile run and if it's not that much difference then pay the difference than end up with a possible brick. Plus I have read some forums where if you flash some things that are not meant for your phone you can even mess up the IME on your phone with no way to flash it back at the moment until someone comes up with a solution for it.

When I put my friends note to t mobile it was the modem you had to flash , if your set on doing it , read a bunch on ways to do the note WITHOUT a custom Rom then find the same files you use in that ( the modem and if I remember right there was one other thing ) then go to the t mobile section in the sgs 3 thread and ask for help finding those files , but do a lot of reading first cause it would be a shame to brick your awesome phone

buy the t-mobile version. it doesn't work hardware not supported
im looking into this as well, i had the att note and flashed the tmobile modem worked like a charm so now im looking to do same with s3. if i find anything ill let you know
I don't thonk it will work at all. Att's S3 is LTE, correct. Tmobiles is not. Two different hw radios used.
If you do try it please post your results for others!

I seriously wouldnt count on it. The two networks run on different technologies. Im pretty sure the hw is different due to this.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Have you guys tried the radios in the dev section by wildchld? I'm not sure it will work either but maybe worth a try. It has a script that backs up current radio and you can revert back. Atleast on T-Mobile s3 it does. Just need to reflash the restore zip to go back to previous radio. Again try at your own risk. There's a huge chance you can brick your device.

I don't think it matters if the Gs3 from T-Mobile doesn't have LTE, I used to have my Galaxy s2 skyrocket with LTE running on T-Mobile 3G/4G off a GS2 Hercules Modem.

Then by all means, give it a shot. I have no problem being proven wrong on stuff like this!
Just remember that was a different phone. And tmobiles radio Im pretty sure was confirmed to NOT support LTE. So they are different.
I'm definately looking forward to hearing someones results after trying! Just do some research on the two radios, and make sure the sw modem is on the same partition for each phone. (I think it will be. But if its not you could end up with serious problems)
Good luck to whomever tries it!

Probably won't, the T-Mobile phone is pentaband so it will run 3/4G on AT&T, but their version isn't. Try it though.

At&t phones operate on gsm. Make sure gosmart is a gsm carrier. Also, depending on the carrier, you may not see LTE speeds
Well i assume you would have to unlock it which is now illegal without carrier permission so you would have to call at&t and have them unlock if it doesn't already come unlocked
Gosmart uses a sim card( tmobile) but im not worried about lte speeds. What im worried is at&t claiming back their phone. Now this guya in craiglist says he bought the gs3 and then his job gave him the iphone, so he has no use for it. Will at&t will automatically unlock it when he got the iphone?

Every rom in the AT&T section (aka here) will work with your phone as well as some in the N7105 section but i would suggest just sticking to the At&t section
Ok kinda what he said^^^^^^^. Also everything won't work on your phone, especially anything with the AT&T modem/radio included. So I would make sure what ever you decide to use that its modem free. Since your using a T-Mobile GN2. I just loaded up SKY NOTE 9. On my TMO GN2. Works great for me to...

Hello I am in process of changing carrier from Verizon to T-Mobile. Currently I have a Galaxy S4 and I was told by the store that I could use the phone on the T-Mobile network. I have a few questions I am hoping the community has the answers to that the store or customer support were no help on.
1.) If I put the phone on the T-Mobile network, when an update is released for the phone, will it get it? If id does get it, does it get the T-Mobile or Verizon update?
2.) Is there a way to switch the ROM on the phone (without rooting) from the Verizon to the T-Mobile rom.
3.) I am overall curious if anyone switched their Verizon phone to T-Mobile and if they experienced any issues.
1) probably wouldn't get the update and if so it would be verizons,
2) no.
3) I just switched from Verizon but now have a tmo s4. I'm saving a lot of money and it works out because where I live and work I have excellent coverage.
Update: just reread #3 sorry for the non-answer. Why not just get a tmo s4 and save the worries?

Actually, you CAN switch the ROM on the phone without rooting. Using a custom recovery doesn't require root access. But that's kinda like having your arm amputated so you couldn't get a flu shot in your shoulder...
So the phone will work using a T-Mobile ROM? If I were to do that will I now get future ROM updates from T-Mobile or will it still get the Verizon update
