Yessss! Finally reception in my house! Now, how does the Sim card in the box get activated? I have the correct Sim but it doesn't make any calls or texts even if I have full reception.

Beastmod should be able to download it if anything. It still has the software update under settings.

WiFi calling works great, IMS connects faster and changing to Cellular Preferred from WiFi preferred actually makes the phone drop WiFi calling and pick up the cell network. It doesnt do that with Kinetco WiFi calling. It stays on WiF until you disable.
The radio is muchhhh better about switching between EDGE and 4G. I used to get no service sometimes when it would go from 4G to EDGE. I will see how it goes but ive already seen an improvement.

The software update button only works after its been pushed to your phone. Just update with Odin or wait for a CWM zip

got to activate the SIM card. call in or go in to the store and give the number that begins with 890126
Sooooo... do I flash back to stock from Juggernaut to get it or wait for the dev to incorporate?
Not that I plan on going back to stock for any reason, but should I flash back to have it in my stock backup?

No need to go back to stock, just wait for devs to incorporate into Roms. Soon someone will release a new rooted deodexed stock to flash with cwm.

tmobile offical update for jellybean wont be until the end of 2012, so cant we just port the official jelly bean update from sprint? cause basically the sprint gs3 and all other carriers are the same internally except for the radio. so as long as we just flash the rom without the radio, we should be good ? i have no idea. idk. just a thought
I'm sure someone will try it out soon, but I'm pretty sure you can flash Sprint and att roms no problem

I believe all the carriers have pretty much identical hw except the radios. They most likely have the same partition mapping and so its probably ok to flash anothers roms.
That said, I would NOT do this without solid confirmation. Its basically an educated guess on my part. (A day or two ago someone said they flashed a Verizon rom and it worked, but again, I wouldn't take my or their word for it alone)

Ktoonsez built his touchwiz kernel off the sprint jb source so I'm with doc on this. It's most likely safe. I'm hoping T-Mobile will release their source soon.

Someone in general clashed Sprint and Verizon ROMs just fine. The only issue was getting radios to communicate with the software. I believe they got everything working on the Sprint ROM but Verizon had extra authentication methods.

graffixnyc released a modded version already. I'm working on a straight stock port of it but haven't had much time with it so far. (It boots and runs but I need to do more to it) I should get some time I can spend on it later today, I hope!

The OP could be telling the truth, but till a credible member verify this, I'll question the validity of his/her post. Still, even if it turns out to be true, It remains to be a question whether a sprint rom is flashable on ours or not.

You can flash a sprint rom just fine. will stuff not work without modification? yes, but you will not brick it.
Now, if you flash an international rom to a US variant you will brick because the partitions are different. But everything is the same on the US variants. You do have to change things in the build.prop and make other mods to make it work on GSM. The only thing bad would be if the sprint rom flashes a modem but that wouldn't even brick because you could just flash the correct modem
I also want to mention I released a straight stock port on the ATT forums. This release will work for tmo as well. You just have to change the build prob stuff to show it as a t999 instead of a i747
All the S3 from US carrier have the same hardware. It could be ported just that the radios will have to be changed. I wont doubt it if they do it :good:
OK guys no more talking, that's the official JB for the sprint version, ported for the T-Mobile
Check out. Working great on my phone.

Hi, I've been a 10 year TMobile user. I just switched to sprint this week. I'm not a newbie when it comes to flashing roms, but I'm wondering what differences I need to anticipate by using a CDMA phone over a GSM before I start flashing something and brick my phone. Any input would be appreciated.

*facepalm* Seriously people read before you dole out your half witted 2cents
All of my experience is flashing on CDMA, but to my understanding flashing a GN2 on CDMA is exactly the same as GSM. Make sure you only flash the sprint variant ROMS, but other than that you don't have to take any precautions.
BUT you dont get to have data while talking on the phone anymore. Unless there is that sweet workaround with LTE. I'm in a 4g free zone so can't confirm or deny this.
Do I need to reactivate my phone after each flash or is it similar to with a sim card and just flash and go?

I think he worded it correctly. He was coming from a GSM and knew Sprint is CDMA and wanted to know if there was any difference between the two as far as ROMs go.

You would use activation like changing a sim card - triggers the phone to go out and grab its new phone number, GPRS logins, etc.
"Update profile and PRL" are what you should be doing on flashes, expecially if you flash a new modem.

I flashed a new modem last night, didn't update profile or PRL. Works fine.
Changing ROMs is as simple as changing sim cards. If your phone was activated before, a new ROM isn't going to change that. This includes AOSP ROMs, when they arrive.
Thanks for the replies. Now I just have to get over the differences of HTC and Samsung. Didn't have anything like Odin or whatnot for HTC, but did have weird bootloader issues. Thanks again.

Yeah, it will work fine. Modem rom contains the PRL, or at least it did on the e4gt. Flashing a new modem may leave you with an older PRL.

Ok. Maybe I didn't make my point clearly. I was talking about best practices over time.
For example, the modern you flashed has PRL56009 which is the newest ATM. Great.
In a year, if you flash this modem again, you'll be back on 56009. Even if the new PRL is 56123.
Make sense?
My general rules:
When flashing roms, only update prl and profile if you notice a loss of data speed or connectivity issues.
When flashing modems, update the prl and profile.
Samsung modems were new to me when transitioning from HTC. Common thought is the performance of different modem versions is dependent on location and/or individual phones. You will flash roms and modems independently.

My point was I had manually flashed the corporate prl previously, which I don't think was included in the modem. 55009 is the current standard prl.
I'm not trying to argue with you. I don't claim to understand how modems and prls work. Just sharing my experience.

I'm on my first custom rom (paranoid 2.99) and no matter what I do I get an at&t page to log in to use wifi which is something I never needed to do in stock rom. I also can't use the website to get wifi access so far now it seems like I can't use any At&t wifi spots
So is it common for custom roms not to work? Or is it a potential bug that the developer needs to address?

Maybe you should have searched before you asked. You wouldn't have conflicting information then.
Also, why are you asking the same question in multiple threads? If you read the forum rules, it should be pretty clear where this sort of thing belongs.

Either way, it boils down to this. On a T999L you will get LTE if its available in your area. Whether or not is shows this in the statusbar is just rom dependant, but you will still get LTE.

cool all i want to do with my tmobile galaxy s3 lte is install a t999 custom rom that works with the t999l because the lte model has no roms yet,but if the t999 are compatable with no issue ill flash away,
just wanted to no if anyone had success and what was there procedure
the lte is incredibly fast night and day compared to the t999
There are a few things to look out for. Just re-read the first several posts in both my Q&A and Development threads and at least skim over the last few pages of the Q&A one.
