Hi, I have a problem
Well not really a problem but I need an answer. Basically, I am wondering if I can flash T-Mobile firmware on my i747. (Stock firmware)
I want all the T-Mobile features essentially. This explains it, but I am wondering if this is possible?
support.t-mobile.com/thread/83865?start=0 <-- This thread explains it. But is it possible for the galaxy s3?
If i'm not making any sense I understand this is very hard for me to word.
Also if this can be done, can I get a link to a stock T-Mobile ROM?
Stock T-mobile s3 ROMs are here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-T999/
Thanks, but can I flash this on a i747?
I have no idea if flashing a t999 rom to a i747 is possible.

As the title states, I just picked up a AT&T galaxy S3. I am looking to use it on T-Mobile. Coming from a galaxy S1, the unlocking procedure is a bit different. It also seems that roms are fairly brand specific, so I assume I should be looking for i747 roms. There are so many options out there, could anyone point me in the right direction to get this phone up and running? Are there any special considerations I should be taking since I am using an AT&T phone on T-Mobile?

Before you do anything, if you want to unlock you phone so you can use it on another network go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033225&highlight=sim+unlock
You will probably need to change the apn numbers to match t-mobile which is easy.... as far as roms go, you should do some searching for t-moible roms in the development thread. Also not being familiar with AT&T and T-mobile you should check to see if they use the same band and also check which modem (radio) you need... I am sure there have been lots of people that have done this arleady.... search search search at least you asked the question before you started not after you had a wreck
Thanks for the link. I did the unlock procedure, haven't tested it yet since I still need to cut down my SIM card.
I also went through and did the CF-Root procedure with ODIN. So theoretically the phone should be ready to flash a custom rom.
I was under the impression that I should be looking at i747 roms instead of the T-mobile version (i999?) since my device is originally AT&T branded. You are saying this is not the case? Basically I should look at roms in the T-Mobile section? It might not matter anyway since some popular roms run on both.
UPDATE:
I installed Stockorama V2 on the phone and it is up and running on t-mobile. It is a multi-carrier rom, but I used the AT&T options when installing. Would I have better luck installing it as T-Mobile? Basically, can I install a T999 rom/kernel on a i747?

Is there such thing as a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 rom? My S4, I was debloating it and messed it up so my cousin helped me flash it with a different version of the S4 TouchWiz rom but I'm having problems with it (freezing, restarting, shut down). So here's to you hoping someone can help us with this.

See if sammobile.com has the stock firmware and if it does flash it in Odin
The SHG-M919 is the handset sold by T-mobile, by T-mobile. Under settings>more>about device the baseband version for T-mobile should be M919UVUAMDL. If this is the case, that you have a T-mobile handset.The back cover should also say T-mobile, unless it's been replaced.
That is a ATT baseband.. Interesting!
Well if you are brave flash T-Mobile stock and let us know how it goes!

Hi,
I have Galaxy S4 M919V Canadian variant. I have the original stock rom. I want to basically customize the rom, remove the new bootloader from flashing and the new Knox crap that's been introduced in 4.3. How can I go about doing that?
What tools and any guide if available ? If someone can link and point to right direction, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!
Quick question?....now that the 4.4.2 ota official update has came thru. Does anyone know of anyone working on a stock rom mirroring the 4.4.2 ota.. In a flashable rom zip form... Not g.e or miui just the same ota 4.4.2 in a rom form ... for those that dont want to update to 4.4.2?
Alot of people use the Metro PCS s4 m919n which is the same as m919 literally besides the metro bloat and we use tmobile m919 roms..all day on Metro s4 thats why i asked ...
becasue it may be a easy way to get 4.4.2 on metros m919N which as far as i know has yet to se a 4.4.2 update.
If this is possible im thinking about flashing Odin uvuemk2 on my METRO S4 making it a official stock m919 4.3 then trying the 388mb update.zip that someone has managed to mirror from the ota. That should put my m919n on tmobiles 4.2.2
Dont believe any bootlaoder or baseband issue will arrise these phones are super identical And run eachothers roms from 4.1.2 all the way too what we currently have.
Any insight will be great

No bootloader or baseband issues will a rise, I've successfully ODINed quite a bit of tmo specific stuff onto my M919N and it works perfectly fine. It's now a M919 of course.
I'm a bit confused about your question though, so you do want 4.4 stock tmo on your S4 or not? Or are you asking of the possibility of getting a 4.4 stock M919N ROM that's still metro? Because if you just simply want 4.4 stock tmo, all you have to do is odin the stock firmware like you said and make sure to triangle away if your device is custom then you'll be able to OTA and get 4.4

I have a unlocked at&t s3 i747 and use it on tmobile service. I wanted to know of there are any good roms that are based on touchwiz and could you please send a link for me. Also will the roms work for tmobile ?

The ROMs will work with T-Mobile, but you will probably have to manually load the T-Mo APN settings.
Which bootloader and modem are you on? If you want TW you will not have LP roms as an option, not a problem for me but others always want the latest and greatest. TW KitKat ROMs require at least the NE4 bootloader, unless you are using one of two custom kernels with the MJB bootloader.
