S3 virgin(bell) and aws 1700

Hello i have this s3 747m from virgin
I unlocked it using the steps in this forum from hidden menu
I did a network search and found 302490 (wind 1700MHz)
I went to wind store and put a wind sim in but it wont work only emergency and when trying to dial out it gave me not registered device msg
I did a network search and it came up only wind away 3 times
So with virgin sim i can find 302490
Can someone explain pls why i cannot use i on at least one of the aws bands
I also noticed that there is no 2100 MHz aws on the hidden menu
Im sorry if this has been discussed previously but i couldn't find it
Thanks

My friends nobody can help me out?
I'm willing to drop the LTE if neccesary cause I don't have in my area anyway
Thanks

As far as I know nobody has been able to use anything but Wind S3's on wind

AFAIK The i747 will not function on wind's network. You need a T999 to run on their HSPA over AWS network.

Well than can someone explain why i have aws support onthe phone(able to scan wind 302490) but not able to scan mobilicity
A repair shop told me he can convert the phone so its doable i guess
Anybody can explain?
Thanks

seriosly nobody can explain why i can scan wind network on my phone?
i know this thing about the i747m that would work on wind/mobi network was disscused a lot of times but never explaind fully why
i believe this forum have a lot of "bright minds" that can fully explain this issue and probably make it a sticky for other ppl
thanks

I went thru that post a while ago and that triggered me to post because I do have aws support but why I cannot use at least the network that my phone finds
And funny thing is that I'm only able to find wind not mobilicity
I know wind uses 1700/2100 aws not sure if mobi uses both
My explanation that I'm able to find wind would be that it uses one of the bands that i747m have but cant understand why I cannot use at least one of the bands if I'm able to scan it
Any suggestions?
Thanks

anybody?

Can S3 i747m be modified to use wind mobile?

I am asking if there is a way to make my galaxy s3 i747m useable with wind mobile. Im asking because I remeber that with the Galaxy s2x from telus and I believe rogers you could flash a t-mobile rom and be able to us it on the wind network. I am wondering if anyone has tried this? and what happened.

It sounds doable. If the phone is compatible as is, you may just need to unlock it to get it to work. You may need to try some different modems though.

There is some guy on kijiji that does it for 20 bucks. Yet I have no clue what he actually does lol

Checked Kijiji and don't see him. Please post the link if you can find it. Thx

I found this in the Note 2 forums. While I haven't tried it personally, it looks interesting and may be able to help

Wind uses a the same bands as T-mobile but I believe the LTE is not compatible.

Simple answer Yes but it's very annoying to do.
The device itself 100% supports WIND's Network to it's fullest BUT the SGH-1747m has the bands required Specifically the 1700Mhz disabled in the NV RAM

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344627 (For my bell phone being updated past which version this guide was wrote for the code in this guide does not work you must use *#0808# )
One you follow that and reboot you will be on Wind's Network... but at least for me every time it reboots I lost access and the NV RAM resets...
What I want to know is there a ROM out there or a way to permanently rewrite the NV RAM so I never have to do this
Samsung is putting responsibility for this 'disabled feature' on the Telecom companies saying it is up to their discretion on what bands they allow. Yet bell is saying that it's up to Samsung one which bands are allowed as Bell does not do any modifications to the NV RAM. Whose telling the truth who knows.... Samsung did hint that it is possible to put permanently enable the baseband (but I would have to speak to bell) Now the funny thing is if I give Samsung the IMEI of my device (which was purchased at a Bell location) Samsung is making a statement that my SGH-i747m is NOT a registered Canadian Galaxy S3... and it MUST be an international S3.... Yet bell has it as it was originally their's and Sold by them and originally activated on their network.
I don't know why but I feel like the SGH-i747m's have some hidden backdoor deals with them has anyone tried to install Wind or T-Mobile ROMS from the T999L to the SGH-i747m and if so was it successful? or is there a Custom ROM that will work?

Just a *bump* to this, if there is any way of not having to plug into a laptop to reflash the NV to re enable functionality with wind will someone please share? I've read of some people having scripts that run in busybox or other similar type areas
Can anyone please share with me said script and walk me through the necessary means of implementing it correctly so my girlfriend stops whining at me every time her phone dies demanding I fix it, even though I've offered to show her how to click the mouse twice and do it her self.

Hi,
Is there a way yet to make the 747M fully operational with Wind Mobile? Seems like SOMEONE should be able to figure this out for us.
In your guys' opinion, if I flashed a ROM for the T-Mobile device, whats the worst that could happen? Soft brick or hard brick?
Would flashing a T999 modem be enough?

No Wind network after restarting my galaxy s3 (i747)
Hi, have you yet figured out how to permanently rewrite the NV ram on a galaxy i747 so that the phone recognizes the Wind network even after the reboot? Thanks in advance.

I haven't. I ended up getting an S5 through wind.

[Q] Radio Frequency

I have a Galaxy S3 purchased in the UK that is compatible with Rogers, Fido, and Bell in Canada, however i tried to put a mobilicity SIM in and it wont work. They told me at the store that its because of the radio frequency that my phone carries. Ive done research into this and ive found that it can be changed, however instructions to do this are vague and unclear. Can someone please help me with this?

If the phone doesn't have the appropriate radio to support the AWS band (1700MHz), software won't allow you to do it. Given from everything I can see on the GT-i9300 specs (which is the UK model), you will not be able to use this on Wind or Mobilicity at all.

Yea it doesn't work on Wind or Mobilicity.

Sorry to bump up an old thread, but is it possible to flash the LTE Version of this phone so the i747 with a WIND Mobile Baseband and have it working on wind?

Nope. They are different phones. My earlier post applies here too.

[Q] SGH-I747M - Unlocking and changing carrier networks

Hello guys! I'm using the I747M variant which I bought from Rogers about 8 months ago and I want to know if I can switch to other carriers network here in Canada via unlocking because Rogers' available phone plans are just a pain in the ass so I want to switch networks. So please kindly share any information regarding unlocking and changing carrier networks. Thanks in advance

Once unlocked, It is guaranteed to work with Bell and Telus.
Hope this helps :good:

Search for it, it's around here in the forums for free. You just need a simcard from the next provider you wish to go to.

How about on other networks such as Mobilicity? My mom is on a plan on Mobilicity and I also want the same plan because my phone is kinda useless without internet and not even a caller ID.

once unlocked it'd most likely work
but for the data part, i can't really say because different mhz on different carrier network..
so 70% chance that you will only get Edge in your area

Does anyone knows any information on how to change radio frequencies on a phone? I've seen some SG3 on ebay.ca that is labelled as "Pentaband" and could work with any carrier network here in Canada. Can someone please explain to me how does this work? And is it possible for my phone to be converted into a "Pentaband" phone?

Mobilicity does not use the same bands as Rogers, Bell or Telus for its HSPA/HSPA+ service. As Pcshano said, your phone would work on Mobilicity, but only on Edge.
You encounter the same problem as T-Mobile users in the US, and WIND and Videotron in Canada. See [WIP][BOUNTY] Enable 3G on 1700MHz for ATT Galaxy S3 i747 on efforts to enable HSPA on 1700MHz on the i747.

[Q] N7105 or SGH-T889V???

Hi there,
It started with when I bought int. version N7100 from Amazon.com. I live in Canada and use WIND mobile. So I inserted my SIM and it didn't work! I sent Note 2 back to the seller, and get refunded soon. So, basically, I'm sort of noob here, and have a noob question. Sorry, but need your help.
Now, I want to give a try to purchase N7105 or SGH-T889V (from Mobilcity, cuz it is cheaper) version, and use it with my WIND sim card.
1) Will N7105 work with WIND AWS band right away or do I have to root and flash WIND modem for it?
2) Same question as in 1) but for Mobilcity Note 2 (but I guess it will work right away without any software modification. I want just to make sure).
3) After 3-4 months I'm moving to USA (more likely) or Europe (depending my job offer), and going to get sim card from some local carrier. Which model, N7105 or SGH-T889V, covers more network?
4) As far as I understand SGH-T889V fully supports what N7105 supports, but not vice versa, am I right?

If you want to use your Note 2 on Wind then the T889V is the one you want. It's also possible to flash a radio hack on the Bell/Rogers/Telus version to get AWS HSPA. However, the T889V does not have LTE officially.
For travelling, , 7105 will be your best bet in Europe as it will support every carrier there and you will get LTE if the carriers support it. The T889V will be better for the States as it supports AWS HSPA on Tmobile, however still no LTE.

I saw on the internet people using N7105 with Bell, Telus, and Rogers with full LTE potential. And my question 1) still holds. Is it possible to do that? Even if it is possible, will it be same quality connection/performance as native (T889V) Note2?
But according wikipeadia, T889V supports some LTE bands. Maybe after flashing the modem, as you said, it will be compatible Bell/Rogers/Telus.
Now, I'm coming to conclusion that both of them work with almost all major North American carrier with full potential, while N7105 also is gonna support EU carriers. So, it is sort of N7105 > SGH-T889V, i.e. is N7105 way to go?
