Can I flash TMOB JB to my Canadian Mobilicity SGS3 with Odin?

Anybody did this? Will it work?

No. Itll fail Odins device check to make sure you are flashing the right firmware for your phone.

I flashed it with mobile Odin pro, excluded recovery and modem. I'm with Videotron, I think its the same as the Mobilicity variant.
Worked great, no issues.

He could first flash the T-Mobile stock ICS ROM and from then flash jb ROM or he wouldn't need to if ota recognized it as T999 instead of T999v on stock T-Mobile ROM..either way make a backup of your imei before doing anything and a back up .good luck

Right, but with Mobile odin you dont get the full update, (so why not just flash from recovery).
For the otas you can mod the build.prop, or the ota itself, but I believe its a bit more complicated when using odin. Was going to look at a little better tonight. Someone else asked me the exact same thing earlier.

Pretty much what doc is saying here. If you guys are unsure about something, it is likely because it is a bad idea. ROMs are specific to builds, carriers, etc... it is just not worth the risk.
Partitions, in theory should be the same as far as what is being updated - x is being flashed to x partition... just not a good idea. You flash a radio to the wrong partition... game over... hope you had the insurance.

Cant get the ota update

Need help, Cant seem to get my phone updated. My phone was rooted with stock rom. Did the triangle away/superu to unroot and then flashed the stock recovery and wiped data. When i try to update it says device up to date. Kies says device is not supported. Thanks in advance.

Edit the photo and remove your IMEI number from it, you don't want someone to have that information.
Also, are you kidding? Your phone info shows 4.1.1 and the baseband is also the most current version for T889.

I never got an ota update. No multiview. I restored my stock rom from when I bought the phone 11/1. Then I just unrooted and flashed the stock recovery

I don't know what to say, I got the update and look at the baseband, etc, same as yours.

I noticed your build and baseband versions match, mine are different for some reason.

We started on 4.1.1 the update did not change the version number, only added some features.

Flash the UVALJ1 Stock ROM itself (KIES_HOME_T889UVALJ1_T889TMBALJ1_260018_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5) first. I can't remember where I got it, but that and resetting the device did the job for me. Just do a search for it. Then I flashed the UVALK8 injected root stock rom after flashing the UVALJ1 stock rom first.
Yes, that is messed up. Your Kernel is the old kernel.
Hopefully this will clear things up for you.

Thanks, ill try this in a bit.

So sorry, I forgot I flashed a modem. To be honest, I updated via flashing a zip from development and flashed the modem. No need to get back to unmodified for me unless I need to send it for repair.

SWAP?

I have a tmobile black s3 which is in 100% condition with excepetion to it gets hot for some reason upon to much use. I also have a white att s3 which has a cracked screen. I need at&t so im wondering, is it possible to swap the inside of the white and put in the black? Im hoping someone knows so I can find someone to do it.

My guess would be yes you could do that. For the heat problem though, if you are using stock build UVDMD5, either try Odin flashing the LJC firmware, or.Just flash the LJC modem.

WELL WHEN IT WAS STOCK IT GOT HOT. NOW IM ON WICKED V10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804260 AND IT STILL GETS HOT..I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT LJC OR UVDMD5 IS.

It's the build number. Refers to the firmware. Check what baseband it says you're on. If it's the UVDMD5 one, go to the modem thread and flash a different one and see if it helps

Heres my info..doesnt match anything u mentioned

Ok, I'd suggest making a nandroid then factory reset and test. If it stops heating up.then there may be some old or corrupted data causing a process to hang. If it still happens you can restore the nandroid and try a different kernel. Otherwise see if there are any other reports of the same thing in the Rom thread.

ok doc....when i reset and reset it'll go back to what? Stock? I will try a diff kernel it happens. Ive been on the same rom for mths now and no problems.

You'll still be on your custom Rom, but it'll wipe everything so it'll be like you freshly installed it.

ok, ill try that...even tho i reflashed but maybe..u never know?

Flashing without wiping can help, but not usually. It's the data separate from the Rom that usually causes problems.

Andriod version vs modem vs rom

I am still on android version 4.1.2, with a non stock modem running cwm recovery and clean rom 4.8.
My question is do I need to mess with my modem before flashing clean rom 5.0?
Do I have to worry about my Android version if I wish to flash pac man rom thats 4.3?
Sorry for being a newb!

You don't have to mess with your modem when you flash any rom.

Thanks! So if I flash clean rom 5.0 ill keep the modem I flashed? Some roms contain modems?

As Ranger stated....your rom will not be touched unless you choose to change it..
Cleanrom does not contain a modem.bin.....g

Ive been having problems with my modem which is why ive changed it. Its mainly when im connected to wifi but not always, it says I also have 4g but I cannot make/receive calls or texts.
So simplest way to change it would be to select a rom that has a built in modem?
Thanks again
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

4G is the data side of the connection. The sms and voice goes through the GPRS connection. They are not related. It sounds like a location problem or antenna problem.
Just changing the modem is easy - download and flash.
Does your sim work correctly in another phone?

Ive tried variois modems to no avail. I cannot test my sim bc I don't have another phone to test it with.
Ive decided to unroot and reset counter and return to stock so I can bring it to an at&t store. I did part of the process last night but I think I did it backwards.

If you can offer insight please follow the link. As you will read I think thats what I have to do just looking for a "yes" if I am correct.

I can't offer a link. . . when you do these things to your phone you void your warranty.
I'm sure I will get flamed for being old fashioned or called a douchebag, but everyone is warned about this.

Omg nv data gone!!

I've never ever thought this could or would happen ... and im very aware of efs baxkup procedure i just didnt do it to this phone I have flashed 100times nevr lost my imei info.
Least I think that's what happened I am on metro t999n s3
I tried to flash the tmo 4.3 leak version knox free by doc holiday77 and when it booted had no signal said insert sim. So I nandroid back to stock SIM STILL NOT DETECTED.
What happened what can I do.
Is there a fix
I think that 4.3 rom is the cause of this
Sent from my SGH-T999N using xda app-developers app

Also sound dissapeard
Could this have to do with flashing the 4.3 mj4 modem when I flashed the leak it said to flash it in the rom install log.
Shouldn't a nandroid restore even restore nvdata efs all that ?
I've restored backup 3 times before from 4.3 to 4.1.2 and never had this issue until this last time I tried to flash 4.3 deodoxed and then restore to 4.1.2 sound gone
Data gone signal gone No Sim inserted Error

Being aware of EFS backup routines and not employing at least one of the options is negligent. terminal > su > reboot nvbackup. How hard is that?
Now that you are no longer on the leak, you should reflash the old modem (LJC/MD5/whatever you were using).
