Trying to get this straight instead of hopping through forms. The stock att 4.3 rom can be loaded on the canadian i747m but theres no modem to support the i747m. Am I correct in saying this or has anyone flashed it and got it working here in canada? I'm with telus and I know I'm going to be waiting forever for telus to put the official update out.
Thanks

One user reported it working but screenshots can easily be faked. Until there is a modem upgrade the i747m won't be fully functional on TW 4.3

rymanh - says "Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337M using xda premium" this indicates you are using the S4, maybe wrong thread?
There have been reports of it working with the old modem on the 747m but ONLY with TELUS. I have not read anywhere that it has worked for bell. I myself from the day that this was leaked and repacked by looserskater as a flashable, have been UNABLE to get data on bell. Everything else works flawlessly. When you go to mobile networks, with will say that there is no sim inserted. But once again this is on BELL there are screenshots of it working on TELUS as i said but they can be faked. Here are is the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46840363&postcount=185

I747M Running Stock Android 4.3
So for the Canadian user's with the galaxy S3 I747m got the official Android 4.3 update yesterday under Rogers network. But the problem is without me knowing about this, " KNOX " also got installed with this update and I just found out there is no way to remove it. Will a developer be making say a REMOVAL TOOL to remove KNOX???
Even i am in the same boat. I also installed andriod 4.3 but KNOX came with the pack. Now whenever I try to use SuperU or Root application, Knox gives me an error.
If I click on Knox app, it asks me whether to install and create an account. Hence, I am sure, Knox is not installed yet in my device, but still I get error - "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked. Tap to learn more." I believe this is fully related to the new security app "KNOX" from samsung that was loaded during the update.
Can anyone give some hint how to remove Knox or regain root access?
If you're looking to root 4.3 then just use cf auto root. After following the steps in the thread just update or install supersu from the play store and after opening it it'll ask if you want to disable knox. Just press yes.

I hav got a s3 i747m as a gift from canada. I live in india. I studied a lot about Region locking and its effects . I had 4.1.1 and I updated to 4.1.2 through wifi(settings> about device> software update) .. now the next update is 4.3 .. I talked to samsung customer care (national ). they said that give your phone to nearby local samsung service centre . they will modify your imei to indian based and u won't face region locking anymore. but when I visited service centre . they said that they are not authorised to unlock s3 which is not Indian region based. they can't help me. now what should I do ? I can't get a sim from canada. and can't I ever update to 4.3 or 4.4(in future) ?
thanks in advance for reading and helping me
I think the best thing you should do is root your phone and put a custom ROM on it. It's the only best thing going for you right now. If you need help with the rooting or ROM, just reply back here.

Rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note ii (SGH-I317)
Installed custom ROM and now get no service.
Upon checking Settings -> Mobile Network
It says: INSERT SIM card Insert SIM card to access network services
About Devices has all the correct information except:
Baseband version says: UNKNOWN
How do I fix this?
Did my SIM card somehow and need to get a new SIM and call AT&T to reactivate another SIM?
My guess is that I would need stock ROM image to fix this but cannot find it.
I did find Stock Rooted I317UCALJ2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986556)
image but still no Service.
Any help would be appreciated as my phone is a BRICK now and useless.
thanks
i have the exact same problem and can't seem to find an answer...
restore stock rom and still nothing...
did you flash a ROM & Radio for the international Note II (N7100 or N7105)? check your phone for an IMEI number; if it's not there, then you'll have to fix that first. you aren't the first to have this problem and i've read other posts where users were able to correct the problem.
I like how no one responded for 2 months.
Worst case scenario flash stock and triangle away to 0 flash counter amd take it back. Lol. Say it stopped working.

Your comment makes a lot of sense... I'm running root on stock and didn't have a problem. I've recently installed CMW thru Odin which I'm pretty sure I did right but then...I installed a kernel to be able to overclock... could the kernel have mess up my radio?

I have been here. Installed the CrashRom which was probably not meant for 1317s. Though I loved the ROM, my model number was displayed as 7100, IMEI was null and mobile network would display insert sim message.
If you watched the installation of the rom.. you would have noticed that at the end it rewrites your modem/radio files. Thankfully even after a wipe, the all important NV folder was there.
I was able to find the original AT&T rom at stockroms and also the original modem files for the 1317. I did a full wipe and installed this rom back..and thankfully the radio was back online. Didn't have to flash the modem. Now with a working phone, I wanna read well before I flash my rom again.
Hope this helps. Though I am a newbie.. If you need any further information.. feel free to send me a message.

If you look in the development section in the All in One forum link, there is a link to the stock rogers ROM and radio.
I don't know if you have done this but it hasn't been mentioned in the post so I thought I would mention it.
I had the same happen to me. The radio just quit. I had a circle with a slash through it. I Odin flashed the stock tar and no luck in fact it got worse and I had to get phone replaced. I have a ton of flashing experience and this was a first for me. I think like someone mentioned above it was a mix match ROM with some pieces from the international version although it was posted as an AT&T ROM. I still have to send it back but after seeing that someone above fixed theirs I am sending a PM

I know from past experience using ODIN for the Droid Charge, we had to pull the SIM before flashing. People were getting their SIMs fried sometimes. The remedy was to remove until the flash was complete. Avoid touching the contacts though.

can u give any links to these forums, yes i install n7100 rom on my i317 and yes i don't have a imei.
Well my friend ...I've got to tell you up front ...that the likelihood of getting your device repaired on your own is remote at best...
You have damaged the device partitions ...and likely do not have a usable backup of the EFS folder..
The EFS contains the IMEI number used for restoration purposes...
I'm not going to tell you that a repair cannot be done..as a select few users were able to fix a bricked device...but I will suggest your best solution ...IMHO
Contact the good folks at :
mobiletechvideos.com
And let them know what you did..
They offer a complete restoration service to repair your device correctly ...and can likely do the job in about a week...
They are located in Texas, USA I believe ...and they have an excellent reputation for quality service...
Your choice of course...but if I were in your situation...I'd send the device to them in a second...
Time is money...at least for me...and although I could probably fix it...I don't have a RIFF BOX...or a JTAG ...
Others will post up with links to help you...and after you have a chance to look them over ...you can decide..
Very sorry for the damaged phone....g

t989D problem
I have a similar problem. I installed Superandroid 4.3 on a telus/koodo s2 t989D. I had to update the radio to flash the rom. I used CWM for that.
Now the info I have on the phone is
model sgh t989
android version 4.3
baseband t989uvmc6 .
The phone is not reading my SIM at all. It shows my carrier but no signal strength at all. I have read the above post. My IMIE number is still there.
Any help
I sincerely apologize if this has been asked before. However, after lots of searching, I have been unable to find an answer anywhere.
I am more experienced with iDevices as opposed to Android. With Apple products, as long as the device is not factory unlocked, every time the firmware is flashed, the unlock process will need to be redone.
So, I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 which is unlocked via an unlock code, and I use it in the Caribbean. I'd like to update to the latest firmware (4.0.4 > 4.1.1) using Samsung Kies, on my desktop. Before I do so, I'd like to know will the phone remain unlocked after flashing the new firmware? Or will I need to unlock once again?
I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I'd just like to be precautious. Thanks for any help in advance.
P.S. My device is rooted. Will this affect the update?
I don't think the update will effect the unblocking....
But why update thru kies when the stock/rooted rooms are found here too??
Kies will have issues updating if your device is rooted.... So just flash the stock rooted images, via Odin program, here on XDA.
Here are the stock/rooted 4.1.1 ROMs with Odin program as well:

Thanks a lot guys. Appreciate the answers.
Sorry for the double post. However, just updating that I just successfully updated to a fresh install of 4.1.1 from 4.0.4, and my unlock is indeed still intact. So, anyone else who is a n00b like myself, and is worried of the same thing when updating, don't be.
Hello. I am new to samsung. It came from At&t and i unlocked it here in the philippines. And as ive checked the software it is still 4.0 and since i want to update the software it only says communication failed. May i ask if is it possible to update my s3 to the latest version? Im really desperate Thank yooooou.
A phone can be relocked once an unlock code has been entered but this only happens if the phone undergoes a repair and the IMEI is changed.
Also, just to calrify as the original responder has mentioned "blocking". A blocked phone is very different to one that is locked. This might confuse people but just to confirm, if you have a blocked phone, unlocking it won't help. A block is done at network level and stops the phone connecting to any network to make or receive a phone call. A lock is at phone level and simply limits the phone to working on one network only. A lock can be switched from on to off to allow it to work on all networks but a block can only be removed by the networks.
i have Note 2 ATT, i am having network connection problem. i can't connect to my ATT network connection . i get circle with line in middle.
i took my phone to ATT store and they tried changing the Sim card and even updating my phone to the latest update, but it did not work.
i tried downgrading my phone to stock Rom when i downgrade the phone. it seems to work fine for five minutes or so i even made a call after one call it started showing same circle with line in middle. i tried flashing all different Rom, i even tried re flashing MJ4 modem. nothing seems to work.
i research to find a solution but i didn't find any solution to this problem. right now i am on Sky Note Air 4.3.
please help me i appreciate for any help.
EDIT: i flash back to stock Rom 4.3 with rooted MK6 bootloader. just to see if it makes any different on my networking problem. And still have issue with not networking data.

Try flashing 4.3 rom from scratch (wiping dalvik cache, data/factory reset and cache partition) ? May be this will help fixing problem
If you want you can try Stock Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Also make sure you have an APN set. @Bajanman has compiled a list of several AT&T APNs in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172110

They are not hacking my friend...
Have you verified that your IMEI and EFS folder are normal ?
And have you verified your APN settings for your carrier ??
You mention flashing several roms on the device...
The items I listed will help you determine if any damage has been done....and also help you get service again...
All are knowledge you must have to prevent bad things from happening...
If your carrier did an official update to 4.3 while the device was rooted and running custom firmware....then you absolutely need to start fresh to clean the device up again...
Are you getting Knox errors or force close issues ??
Basically....in order to help you we need a detailed status of the device...
Software version....kernel version ....and baseband.....
The information is in settings/about phone/....and will tell us how best to proceed....g

Interesting. I'm asking questions I guess really dont matter.
But why was warranty voided, or was it expired?
Again more confusion.... Just wondering why they changed sim, flashed update, then told you to hit the street with a broke **** phone.
I can understand not replacing it, warranty whatever.
I took an Atrix2 phone into the shop, no working data. I had called tech support, they had OTA refreshed it, didnt work. Set me up with tier 2 tech support, more resets. Nothing.
Went into store, got another sim. Turns out it was simple. I had turned off the data plan awhile back until I was ready to give it to my daughter.
Got online, picked a plan. Data lite off.
Point is they worked with me to find the problem on a phone that was 2-3 years old.
You probably should follow me how to in this section and flash the stock 4.1.1 and go from there.

HOW TO SIM UNLOCK THE SGH-M919, no unlock code necessary.
This thread is for all of you that have tried this method and have failed: How to SIM unlock Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 (tested - works) - Updated: 7/2/13
EDIT: I'm sorry to say that after testing this method out on a replacement s4 running stock 4.3 with the MK2 bootloader, this method DOES NOT WORK ON 4.3 OTA OR MK2 BOOTLOADER
The previous method worked on Samsung devices running the old firmware and was patched by T-Mobile and Samsung in the M919UVUAMDL release. Many new (purchased in the last few months) devices have been known to have this release pre-installed.
This is not my work, it is chainfire's genius. You must, at the very least, go and give him the "Thanks". If you can, donate a beer.
His app "RegionLockAway" was intended to de-regionlock devices that Samsung had marketed as "unlocked" (i9505, N9005, etc).
However, a common side-effect for other carrier-branded variants was that it unlocked their devices as well. I tried it and it worked on my SGH-M919 that I bought from T-Mobile.
TO UNLOCK THE M919,
1. Make sure that you are on the completely stock touchwiz setup that came with the phone (bootloader, kernel, and stock touchwiz rom). You can restore via kies/odin here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628. Again, thank the developer if you used it.
2. Install RegionLockAway Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
3. Thank the developer, even if it doesn't work.
4. Run the RegionLockAway app and click "Region Unlock"
5. Follow all onscreen instructions carefully.
6. Reboot and test it out with preferably a non-North American SIM. This ensures that not only is it unlocked, but also region unlocked. If it asks you for a code, it failed.
As a standard disclaimer:
If you bricked it, it's your fault. I tried it on my own and it worked for me.
As always, I highly recommend donating to the developers who helped you.
First time first! Thanks for this info. I themed chain fire as well

region unlock and sim unlock aren't the same as far as I know.
You can use sims outside of your region (country) but you can't slap an at&t sim card in there and use it.

No they are not BUT they're closely related that doing one usually result in the other. RegionLockAway will SIM unlock when use correctly. I used it a few months ago to SIM unlock my GS4. After it was done I put in an AT&T SIM and made a few calls plus try a few websites.

Like I said, SIM unlock is usually a side effect of Region-unlocking.

T-Mo gave me an "Unlock code" and it was from Sammy, and it would not work. After 3 tries, each with a different code, it still would not work, so I gave up.
Today using chainfire's app, it works, and I insert an At&T sim card, and it doesn't ask for the code anymore! it's UNLOCKED, and it recieves a signal and connects to the internet via my wireless router. All's good and after placing my T-Mo sim back in, it's all good!
All the connections still like it used to be.
Awesome!
I just called tmobile they provide me with unlock code.

A little more info would help. "It didn't work for me" doesn't tell us much. Why didn't it work? Any reason given? Firmware, rooted non rooted?

4.3
baseband: mk2
build: jss15j.m919uvuemk2
rooted
try a different version?
I unlocked my SGH-I337 using a similar method, only I flashed an older modem that has the service menu unlocked. Is that method possible on this phone also?
Sent from my Hyperdriven S4
I had updated to the 4.3 firmware before unlocking and T-Mobile's unlock code didn't work on my phone. This was my only recourse and it worked. Thanks, OP!

Howdy _ i was thinking about trying this method for an sgh-m919 so I could use it on AT&T? Any thoughts or suggestions please. Do you think I would need a t mobile sim card to do the unlocking process?

You do not need a T-Mobile sim card but the phone must be rooted.

Worked well today, just tried it. Thank you
Is it absolutely necessary to be on stock firmware? I gave it a try running VirginRom and it seems to have worked, but I don't have a sim from another carrier to test with.
I have a Tmobile Galaxy S4 SGH-M919, I have tried every rooting method I can fine and so far all I have done is made a brick, I need this phone working asap, and rooted so I can go onto Crickets service
PLEASE HELP
I can root Sprint, but when it comes to Tmobile apparently I'm an idiot

This the method I used for rooting when I had 4.3

Check my signature for a link to how I rooted with 4.4.2
Depending on the version of Android you have on that phone, it will trip the Knox flag. Which won't affect the performance of the phone, but will indicate you messed with your phone. There may be other rooting methods that work, but this one worked for me.
BTW, I found that method by using Search on this forum and Google.

The safe root method is how i rooted with 4.3 but it is my understanding that you need your phone to be unlocked to use a different carrier. Unlocked and rooted are 2 different things.

Unlocked sop I can use whatever carrier I want.
Rooted Because I want control over my pohone and not somebody else saying what I can and cant do with it.
I can get it to bot in cwm recovery but thats all it won't rot the rom so I can see it its rooted or not. I followed eth entire instructions provided and used oden like it said to and all I suceded in doing was makeing a damn brick out of a phone I got to have running tomorrow morning

If you can get into Download mode (Power Off, then Volume Down+Power Button), then you'll need to download the Stock Rom and transfer it to your phone via ODIN. Do you know if you were 4.2, 4.3, or 4.42 before you bricked it? You can download the images from Sammobile.com

If you have access to ClockWork Mod Recovery, wipte the cache and dalvik and see if that lets it boot.
If not, just download a rom, any rom from the dev section that you want to try and put it on a micro SD card. Put the SD card in your phone.
Do a full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik) in recovery and flash the downlaoded ROM file. Your phone should boot right up.
You'll want a TouchWiz based rom if you still need to perform the SIM unlock proceedure so you can use it on the Cricket network. But once step at a time here...

If you look at my signature, you'll see that I've got a SGH-M919 also and I'm on T-Mobile with a phone purchased from T-Mobile.
I've provided links that worked for me.

Thats cause it wasn;t rooted before, hopefully it is now, cause my wife just went to Cricket to see if she can get her Iphone and mine on their network
I finally got the phone rooted but I screwed it up so bad I had to install a different rom to make it work, so not I'm roted and running wicked rom .Next I installed, updated and ran region away, it said it didn;t know if it worked or not, but I was told that it does unlock so hopefully it did.
I havea different S4 here ( SGHM919) that I'm gonna try the cf auto root on when the battery is fully charged, cause both my sons have S4's and they want to keep the rom they have now just be unlocked
If you were looking at cwm recovery then you most likely have root.

And if you don't you can easily get root with CWMrecovery

When I used Region away it says somewhere that it doesn't unlock your phone to where you can use other carriers. So you might want to find out lol

Thank you gentlemen, my phone is working again, rooted, currently running wicked rom, all the other phones are rooted with the stock roms for the kiddies unless they want to have a better rom
Region away works perfectly on mine even though it says it doesn't know if it did.
I was going to use triangle away, but it says something about bricking my phone and I really don't give a damn about the counter so ........
PanchoPlanet, Google is NOT my friend when it comes to phones XDA id my friend when it comes to phones
Now to go look for the stock memo pad that comes with the S4, I like that one best its simple and works
I too prefer Memo Pad, it's quick and simple, my reference to Google was that its quicker than the XDA search and more accurate. Good to hear your back on track.

I found Smemo on line, took a while since I'm on oxycodone for pain due to a hernia operateing, but I got it, placed it in eth rom and reflashed it
Now I'd love to find a theme for Wicked V10 that would change teh color of the phone dialpad, I HATE white dialers, makes me remember when I was a kid back in teh 60' when my mom had nothing but white so she could see if it was clean, and sanitized, degermed, and all that, ( yes I was an outside type, and brought it all inside )
Oh and all I can say guys, is thanks for trying to help me I WILL figure it out for the firmware and hardware and software that I have, experimenting with a phone that I totally bricked today, gotta re-instal the entire os on it, so I'm gonna experiment with various versions of the SGH-M919 software, if I find out what works on what I'll post it for you guys to check and make sure I did right
