At&t galaxy s3 to T-Mobile help

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.

Not trying to be a jerk. Just a friendly reminder that this is not development related and needs to be in general or QA. I would repost there and report your thread to a moderator before the pitch forks come out.

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.

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.

Has anybody been able to get their T-Mobile S3 working on SIMPLE MOBILE's network (3g/4g)? I've rooted my phone, and I can't access it (I can't even delete the T-Mobile APN Setting).
Let me know, I would greatly appreciate the help, and I'm sure other users would benefit from this information also. Thanks.

You need to setup a new apn. Go to simple mobiles web site they have instructions to get you up and running.

questions about S3
hi guys
I am a newbie here and I am loving S3 so far and I would like to get simple mobile service with it.
I have a few questions hope you guys can please help me out:
1. on simple mobile web, they sell S3 but says it's not approval and not support 3G, but I saw someone replied it would work 3g/4g with simple mobile service, can you please let me know so i should get $50/month plan instead of $40/month plan or either way is fine?
2, do I have to get a unlocked S3 in order to work with simple mobile service? or I can just buy it from costco or ebay and just insert a simcard i bought from ebay with simple mobile as well? or it has to be unlocked S3 & special sim card?
hope you guys can help me with these, thank you so much

It will work with 3g or 4g. If u get the 40 dollar plan you will get thr 3g speed. If u get the 40 dollar plan u will get the 4g speed. Everything is listed in black and white on simple site. Any tmobile phone will work with simple mobile without unlocking. Simple Mobile is mvno of Tmobile.

[Guide] Sprint/Verizon Galaxy SIII Flash to Page Plus Cellular Tutorial [Video]

I No longer support this thread due to the lack of time I have lately. This video will show you how to get up and running on P+ with 1x data only.
This wil work for the Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular variant.
Yes I can get 3G but, the method is not allowed on this forum.
Please don't PM me asking how to get 3G as I will not reply.

Wow awesome Nevell. Thanks so much for this.
A few questions.
How different would it be to flash Straight Talk?
After flashing can I load ROMS like CyanogenMod and such without issue?

On the Sprint one yes but not on the VZW one. As far as flashing to ST you would need a donor phone. I won't go into details but that should be a start for you.

OP updated with new Verizon GS3 fully flashed with 3G youtube video demo.

I have been trying to flash verizon gs3 to sprint, and have talk and text but no data, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried everything. Thanks for your videos and help is appreciated

Why not just trade your VZW GS3 for a Sprint GS3 on your local Craigslist?

Hey guys should I be careful buying a used tmobile phone? How can I be Shure the is good to use? Not stolen or in the blacklist or what about if I buy the phone and then the seller report it stollen. Will tmobile disconnect my phone even if it is on simple mobile? Is there a safe way to do the transaction. Lots of questions. Thanks

well, it is not safe, if the phone report stolen or blocked it by tmobile, you can't use it with simple mobile. and there is no way to know if the phone ok or not, it will works for a couple of days/weeks/months but once tmobile block it. you will be sorry. anyway I bought mine from amazon, I talked to them first about people selling phones on amazon and then the phone gets blocked. they put a note in my account that if the phone got blocked I can return it back for a full refund no matter how long. and btw mine is used.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

T-mobile phones are the worst to buy used because it can be blocked for 2 reasons, unpaid EIP and phone reported stolen. I almost got burned but luckily I was able to tracked down the previous owner. The phone worked for weeks before it was blocked. Scarry.

This is currently my experience.
I own an AT&T Galaxy Note 2 that I just got yesterday. I got it unlocked, and right there I'l put Simple Mobile on it and it worked just great with the only exception that I get only 2G on it and I'm on an area where most T-mobile users get 4G.
So got somewhat disappointing but didn't give up. From there I rooted it and I flashed a T-mobile SGH-T889 ROM on it and it ROM itself works, but with Simple Mobile I still get only 2G.
From here, I'm thinking the only thing I'm missing is the Radio (or Modem if you wanna call it that way) for a T-Mobile phone since I'm suspecting I'm still using an AT&T radio.
I haven't done enough research to see if I'm right on my theory. So as soon as I get back to the kitchen I'll flash a T-Mobile Radio and see if that works.

No. The T-Mobile version, T-889, is a dual cell phone capable of supporting 42.2 Mbps data transfer. The AT&T version, i-317, is not and is limited to 21.1 Mbps. However the i-317 is capable of using more than one LTE band whereas the T-889 is limited to just one.

No, you can flash other carriers roms. The thing is you have to make damn sure what you're flashing isn't gonna brick you. From a software standpoint all Note 2's are the same, for the most part. You have to be careful not to flash another carriers modem or you'll have no signal. If that happens just flash an AT&T modem and you're good. The kernel is pretty much the same. There might be some minor differences but nothing to worry about. Just read read read. All the info is in the OP, and if it's not just ask in that thread.
