I don't know what you mean with "what galaxy s3?"
I think the international version GT-I9300 .

I might suggest asking this question in the Galaxy S3 i9300 forums. I don't know if the Sprint forums are best to ask where most of us are only familiar with the Sprint S3 variant instead of the international version like you have.

Everyone made reference to the forum you should check in but nobody linked to it. You'll have a much better chance of getting an answer here:

The international version is a very different beast than the American Varieties, a lot of the tricks are not compatible between versions.

You have a gsm version s3
Sprint users may not be much help as our phone is cdma and doesnt use an external sim.
You questions will most likely be best answered in i9300 forun

Hi I't what I did first I I had to change the sim size (previous GS II, which modem was working)
I've checked again just before posting this question, all seems to be Ok from them
The message is " Non available data or non valid sim"
I've seen on forums that the at&t modem is locked for at&t network only
May only the phone setting is unlocked but not the modem ones?
Or should I flash and other Rom (Noterious or n7105?
Thanks again

710 is the model number for a Samsung galaxy II phone. I747 is galaxy III. If you 'about phone's says 710. they either have you back the wrong phone or you have, and I don't know if this is possible without bricking your phone, the wrong ROM on the phone(?)

SPH-I710 is sprint version of galaxy S3. There is "L" before 710 not " i ". Here is SPH-i710 model of Samsung . And for OP: If you flash rom from difrent provider of Galaxy S3 that what you gona have in setting and about your device. This is normal.

Thank you if you know is to translate it into Google only speak Spanish

This is my phone

Is this safe to flash?

Hey folks I found this update to 4.1.2 on a site, it says that it can be done with a network unlocked s3. I'm using a t999 right now, will this brick the phone if I flash through odin? I unlocked my phone through the service choose I found on here a while back, here's the link:
http://androidadvices.com/xxellc-galaxy-s-3-jellybean-4-1-2-firmware/
Let me know if this is safe? Or you decide can compile it for us carriers? Thanks

[Q] Galaxy S 4 (T-Mobile) Cyanogenmod

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if cyanogenmod supports the new T-Mobile Galaxy S4.
If it does can you also tell me if the bootloader needs unlocking or how to do it.
& most importantly whats working in it & what isn't please
Thank You!:good:
Just search a little. It's right in the General forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263320
Your questions should be answered in that thread, and with the Search button.

It is officially supported under "jfltetmo"
Boot loaders on s4's don't need to be touched. There is a beautiful auto root that does it and then you flash a recovery via Odin. Everything seems to be working except ir blaster

[Q] Need help please :( SIM unlock on UK phone

Broke my S2 so got a Note 2 gt-n7105
It's not on the right network though and I need it sorting PDQ as my Dad is in hospital
I've watched the 'ROOT' video but the link below 404s
I have Oden but would like a working walk through to root and SIM unlock.
Bit frantic here so bear with me.
Thanks
People have likely ignored your topic because...
You have used a generic useless title instead of descriptive of topic.
You want spoon feeding.
What version Android are you running? Depending on what, you can use an easy way to root your device.

Its the SIM unlock I'm having biggest problems with. Its running 4.1.2 but the method on here *#1973 etc doesn't seem to work. I managed to get it rooted. Put CWM touch on and downgraded the ROM as it said but still can't unlock it.
Thanks.
Did you talk with your current mobile operator? Usually you can get the unlock code from your provider. If not let me know

Ahh now heres the problem
I can't phone them as the phone won't work
catch 22 again.
I can't get 4.1.1 (stock or Cooked) as its all hotfile links and all are dead.
Try first this: (downgrading BTW doesn't help here a quote from CyanogenMod:
CyanogenMod, however, does not "unlock" the device. Most carriers "lock" their handsets to prevent customers from buying a handset and moving to a different carrier. Carriers depend on these "exclusivity" agreements to bolster revenue. For example: if you buy an iPhone in the US, you are stuck with AT&T or Verizon, whichever you bought from. To use the handset on another carrier's network it would be necessary to "unlock" the handset. This is done with a code based on the IMEI of the handset that can be provided by your carrier or firms on the internet that are slightly more reliable than a Nigerian Prince.
Unlocking cannot be done by installing CyanogenMod, or any other firmware for that matter.

Yes I understand that
The instructions to SIM unlock are
Downgrade to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and use a *~ code to access the network lock menu. But it seems 'some' 4.1.2 don't give full access to the menu.
4.1.1 does, but I can't find it anywhere , hotfile problem
I'm not trying to SIM unlock with the firmware but trying to find a firmware that allows SIM unlocking though the dev menu.
I should imagine thats what the input code option when it boots does.
Look at this site.

Mmm could I use a 4.1.1 ROM from another country other than UK just to SIM unlock then update to a nice cooked 4.3 after?

Again though no 4.1.1
Forget that, top link is all hotfiles again
Samsung has a "Region-Lock" some custom ROMs remove this lock, so I think you must use a UK version. Else it won't work!
[…] For example, a SIM-free Galaxy Note 3 is purchased in Europe, the first SIM card inserted in the device must be from a carrier that operates in the particular region. It doesn’t matter if the carrier doesn’t operate in the particular country where the device is bought from, it just need to operate in one of the countries in the entire region. […] Those who end up with a region locked device in a different region and can’t use a SIM to deactivate region lock, they can go to a Samsung care center and get it deactivated, it is not known if there are any costs associated with this or if it would have to be proved where the device has been purchased from.

Yes I'm think this as well.
Can't find a UK 4.1.1 anywhere now.
What operator do you have? Orange or another?
XDA developer App. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100. Using CyanogenMod 10.2.
The SIM is Tesco/O2
The phone wasn't branded so no idea on that. I'm now waiting the 1 hour to download the UK Vodafone 4.1.2 rom to see if that might help as I have no idea what the one on there now is based on.
You should for the best go to the store and have it unlocked.

Yer its £20 though and between trying to sort this out and keeping tabs on Dad in hospital , also defeats the idea of the forum is everyone just went to shops
Well that all went a bit Pete Tong
Trying to recover through Keis now after the 'accident' Dam these phones
Try with the app Galaxsim Unlock from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock
I had your same issue on a Note2 from 3 UK: when I went to Italy I wasn't able to use italian SIM cards on it.
The software says 4.1.1 is required but my phone came out with 4.1.2 and it worked fine for me.
I've found a working UK 4.1.1 ROM. Probably that last working one in the world
I'm going to see how I go about downgrading the ROM now. If I put CWM touch on and can I do it through that. I'm not sure if you can downgrade with a higher recovery system.
