So I got a D851 from T-Mobile, rooted and loaded TWRP, got G3 Tweaksbox, XPosed, Busybox, etc. Great phone!... T-Mobile network sucks, so I got the unlock code from them and switched to AT&T. After adding att's APN and installing att visual voicemail, most everything is working, but some voicemails have to be called, others are visual, some texting features are funky (Handcent won't send)... More funky stuff showing up each day...
Anyway, time to load a new ROM. But there's the rub! It's a D851, but I need AT&T flavors of carrier specific stuff! Scared to load D850 based ROM's for fear of bricking.
What do I do?
Back in the days on my Galaxy S2, we could flash the Att Roms, then immediately flash a T-Mobile Kernel,and it would boot up and be fine... I would definitely research that before you try it. But your easiest best bet,would be to download one of the d850 Roms and extract the Apks of the At&t stuff and install like normal.

That won't really help. The TMO ROM is too ****ed up to build on, and if I went back to stock and started over, 90% chance I'd be right back to where I am now.
There has to be a ROM I can start with that isn't TMO bloated.. I'm getting ready to just bite the bullet and go big red then ebay this gsm (in USA) junk.
I can't be the only person in this dilemma! C'mon guys!:crying:

Tomorrow I am going to have my Sprint phone flashed to work on the Cricket network. I just need to understand something. Once this is done is it written to the hardware? If I remove and install the OS several times am I going to have to go and pay to have Cricket flashed on it again? $85 is steep. Right now I am using the DCD ROM, but I may try newer roms in the future. Is there a way I can do this myself? Also will this flash allow the GPS, MMS, and internet work?
Thanks
What phone are we talking about here?
the Sprint mogul. has the dcd 3.2.2 Rom
I sucessfully rooted and installed Chainfire3D, but installing the drivers to play the Tegra 3 games caused me to get stuck on Samsung Logo on boot. The awesome person that I am I didn't do a backup .
So I installed a N7100 Custom ROM with CWM and it boots. As you'd suspect the radio doesn't work so I get no signal. On my LG Optimus 3D I could flash the baseband to make the radio work. Is there any process like that for the SGNII?
I'm a little skeptical to use Odin3 to revert to stock ATT even though I have Rogers Note II. Not sure if I'll lose root and access to CWM and brick it fully.
Is my only solution to wait for a Custom ROM for ATT? Sprint and T-Mobile versions already have Custom ROMs. Any DEVs working on ROM for ATT?
I share the same problem with you Hopefully someone put a stock rom so we can flash it and forget about this problem!
Fingers crossed!

As the phone officially is released tomorrow I am sure it will pop up custom ROM. But that you managed to flash international on your Rogers phone. Is that the exact same phone as ATT is going to be? If so that is amazing news!! That was my only concern about the ATT note as I was disappointed in the dev for ATT galaxy S 3 compared to the international.
Brave man. Shame you missed to take the backup first though. Good luck!

No choice, soft bricked thanks to Chainfire3D. The international ROMs work but no signal or IMEI. The models are different from the international version and the ATT version. If I'm not mistaken the radios are different and run on different bands for LTE.

Yes. The radios are different and needs to be repacked for sure or just have the ROM without radio.Fairly common to. IMEI however is an issue...

Hello community, I have looked for the stock Samsung s3 I747 AT&T firmware. I have found it but its a download from Hotfile, which has been shut down. I was wondering if the android forums could provide me with the Stock firmware? I plan on using Odin3 in installing the firmware. This is why I am wanting to do this, it appears I am stuck on edge network. I have manually set the phone to use 4g and 3g it still reverts back to edge. This occurred after I updated to 4.3, so my plan is to install stock firmware and re-do the 4.3 update maybe something went wrong somewhere during the update. If you have other suggestions other than trying to install the initial stock firmware, I am open to anything.

You'll have to have a look in development. Since you already took the 4.3 update, you can no longer "start with stock and redo the update". You will hard brick. AT&T was not nice enough to provide an ODIN flashable 4.3 rom. In development or general is a custom recovery flashable ROM that should help you out, but that is assuming you have a rooted and custom recovery phone. If not, there should be someone along to help.

Re-installing the stock update probably wouldn't help me anyhow. This phone has had a IMEI repair, assuming this is the problem now.
The phone, after a re-boot will do 4g, well at least it shows the 4g emblem, then shortly after it will go to edge. Some people I talked to said it could be a weak antenna or some other hardware issue. I think it has to do with the IMEI repair! Well I guess this phone is garbage, its a shame, it looks brand new, my fault for going the craigslist route
When you say IMEI repair, you mean the IMEI was injected into the phone using NV writer?

Yes. I did not do this myself.
However, I did find another program well actually two programs, QCN Generator and DanX which I created a back up and injected the IMEI number into my back up QCN bin myself. With no luck I am still a 2g AT&T user.
I am thinking that the original QCN back up (the initial) was corrupted or something.
Is there anyway to rebuild a QCN? lets say, someone has a back up of a Sammy g3, and I injected my IMEI to a spare QCN. Does that make any sense? sorry still learning, I have learned this with in 24hrs, I am a Xbox 360 Rooter, not an android guru.
I bought the phone from craigslist, which was a bad idea in the first place. So I am now stuck with this paper weight, I have managed to get this phone in at least a working state. I wish to get 3 or 4g back on the phone. I can re-boot it will show 4g with 3 bars then will drop to one and go back up to 3 bars, then drop to 2,1 then it will then automatically switch to edge. I know this is a 4g area, maybe not LTE, but 4g. I have changed APN settings, also manually set the phone to GSM and WCMDA, Still working on it.
So to start I went from my s3 to the Z2 when it first came out. I am with bell and for some reason they are not supporting updates and my Z2 is ridiculously glitchy, i'm looking to update the firmware and expect to take sometime to do this and i dont like downtime. Due to some legal reasons my old s3 was confiscated... so i picked up an S3 off kijiji. Unknown carrier but still I747M. I rooted, unlocked and ran cm on my old s3 so i figured i would give this one a rip and see what had come out.
Without thinking i found slimkat and rooted and updated to 4.4.4. Great rom, kind of glitchy, but smooth.
And then i through my sim in... didn't work. So i started trying to unlock it. And my quest begins
I have CM11 boot
I tried the easy modem dialer fix. didnt work
I tried the sim generator, couldn't find my nv data bin file
I then tried downgrading to 4.3 and 4.1.1 stock roms and also mod roms didn't work. Got them off of sammobile and also xda as the sammoblie one didn't work.
What are my options? should i just put this s3 back into the realm of kijiji?
Any help would be appreciated
I have an S4 from AT&T that is rooted and has a custom rom on it already. SGH-i337 5.0.1 Baseband is MK2 with a custom kernel. I have clockworkmod recovery v6.0.4.4 installed on it currently.
I am moving the family to T-Mobile. I plan to replace my phone with a S6, and then give my S4 to my son. I was wondering about flashing a T-Mobile rom on to the phone. Not sure what to flash for him. It would be nice to keep it so I can flash new roms to it in the future, even though I probably won't. Keeping root would be nice too.
Can anyone tell me what they would do? What ROM? Do I need to change the recovery that is on it? I just want the phone to work for him. He is coming from a Samsung S3 Mini.
Also do I need to do anything with the modem? I assume I could stay with everything just flash a T-Mobile basic ROM, do I need to flash an updated radios for T-Mobile?
Why don't you just sim unlock the phone it cost me $2 on eBay or there maybe a hack to do it but eBay was easiest for me
You don't need to change the ROM. Just put in the Tmobile Sim and get AT&T to unlock Sim card for free if you already spent the time with them.
