Most custom ROM's are without radios. You can always pull the radio and edit the update script.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes you can edit the update scrip tried a sprint room they have the radio the only ones that dont have it are the cm 10.1 but we have cm10.1 why should we flash a room that we alredy have and we dont have edit the update scrip well thats my opinion

So you say we can't because you are lazy? If you want a sprint or Verizon rom you would be willing to remove the radio file and update the script (honestly 2 minutes of work).
I can confirm I had the 4.1 version of sprints PA ROM (was out before ours or ATT) working, I needed tmobile radio and kernel (took from early port of CM10) and needed an APN app to set APNS as settings APN selector force closed on me.

The radio you get from the development forum. you have a good radio if you get T-Mobile signal. Try downloading HiAPN Global or see if you can change the APNs in the settings menu, I would bet you the APN for T-Mobile is not there.

pegapega02 has been lazy about roms for what feels like eternity, I wouldn't sweat it.
A week ago I tested exactly what you mentioned here... a sprint rom with the tmobile radio. Worked like a champ. Ended up going back to Teshxx's deodexed t-mobile rob because at the end of the day, every single thing works right out of the box, including the themes I want to install on top.
How did you get around the APN force close issue?

Its not recomended but you can, otherwise it will brick. You can still get data and signal ive tried that before, you might have to change the APN to actually fix MMS/SMS/Data isues.
Some people says that it works like charm. That you can flash att s3 roms to your tmobile s3 and everything works.
I had flashed the jellybam from att and it works like charm. also look at this thread that came out on the verizon forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069850

at most after wards I change bild prop stuff from "d2att" to "d2tmo" just incase it may cause any issues but sometimes I don't and didn't see any issues. I always refer back to T-Mobile rom cause if I'm going to use a TW rom it's only for Wi-Fi calling, and we have (In My Opinion) great devs here for our AOSP and AOKP stuff. If you have any questions post here and I'll do my best to help. I'm off for the weekend will be lurking the forums for the day for the most part.

Hi everyone. I've done extensive searches, but I can't seem to find very many ROMs for the bell variant. I'm using sonic ROM, but I would like to start using a more common one that updates more often than not, and I don't feel like using cm. I would like to keep it as stock as possible, as I like the Samsung integrations. If anyone can suggest one or two, that would be great. I tried a couple, but when I tried to restore with tb pro, a lot of apps froze during the process, app only and w/data
Thanks y'all
I'm with Bell also. Dandroid and CSROM both worked great with my phone. Very stable. Wasn't that great on battery but I probably could have tried a little tweaking and they would have been fine.

I tried dandroid, but that's where I had problems when I tried to restore. I was almost thinking of his variant 'blandroid' but I don't want to try and then run into the same restore issues. I think I'm going to try the new wicked ROM. It looks very promising
Sent from my SGH-I747m using xda app-developers app
I'm a noob but in my experience what recovery system you use to flash a ROM will make all the difference. I normally use Twrp but for some reason can't install Cyanogen mod without CWM.
I used twrp for dandroid without any issues.

I always though any ROM for AT&T would work on the Canadian variants as all you'd need to do is update the APN settings.
Now I'm not so sure.
I'd like to try Task650 but I'm sure I read somewhere that it's AT&T only.
Generally, yes at&t roms do work on the Canadian networks, most of the time without adding the apns. I was just wondering if there's any Canadian devs out there or someone who's done work specifically for the Canadian networks/variant.

As you said, generally speaking, AT&T ROMs will work no problem on Canadian variants.
However, you can find some ROMs that are based on Canadian stock ROMs (Rogers, Bell, Telus...). Try searching for VLDLK4-based ROMs (instead of VLDLK3, which is AT&T). Examples of them are Bertiespeed, i747z, I747MVLDLK4_DJJOHNNYBLAZE_MODV1, seeARMS, NexusMod K4, Bacon-JB...
So I am new to GSM phones anyway but I just got an AT&T GSIII and I am using it on T-Mobile. I am a Sprint user initially (rooted Gnexus) and testing T-Mobile in an area I frequent to compare if it is worth switching.
My questions is I am already downloading the root kit and ready to run a ROM but should I use a T-Mobile Rom or an AT&T Rom. Also not sure if I should be asking this in the T-Mobile general section. Any advice would be great.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
If its an ATT phone it should have an ATT ROM. (I've never tried any other carries so anyone else correct me if I'm wrong)
Just set your APNs to tmobiles APN and you should be set.

You can use any Rom that states the option for picking tmobile or att in Aroma installer
Also I can verify you can odin a stock T-Mobile tar file onto the i747 and get perfect working 4g and wifi calling.
Flashing strictly t-mobile roms may be another problem.
A few good roms for T-Mobile users on the att i747 @re
Wicked Rom v10
And T-Motion both in att android dev.
Make sure to choose t-mobile as the carrier when u set up aroma install on the i747 if you use tmobile sim..
The reason the roms all works across the t999 @i747 is because the phones are so identical and the build props have been tweaked/edited to create working roms on a completely diff carrier device.

You should have no problems flashing T-Mobile ROMs on there, and you can always flash back to an AT&T rom if it doesn't work.

Wondering if you ever got this done and working with WiFi calling.
I have this funky i747 in a T999 case thing going. I'm running an ATT stockmod ROM on it, but thinking of flashing a T-Mobile ROM on it
This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501303 - though I've been advised not to flash the modem it says to flash ... last time I did on this phone I lost IMEI ... upside is this time the NVitems data has been backed up). At any rate, I haven't tried it yet. Word is it'll either work or it won't, and I can flash back to the ATT stockmod I'm using if it doesn't. But I'm a little leery of trying it right now.
The reason to do it would be to get wifi calling. Otherwise I like the phone just fine the way it is. That's why I'm reading threads like this. To see what experience others have had.
I flushed with Wicked v10 :

Updated my earlier post, but you can flash any n9005 rom in this thread
a little bit out of topic but what are the advantages and disadvantages of flashing a rom that is not for our note? are there any risks other than the obvious "you are responsible for what you do to your device" or "warranty is now void" risks?
1. Advantages are more variety of roms to choose from, the international roms are updated a lot quicker than USA versions(because it was released over there first, I believe latest firmware over there is mj7). Some roms on the N9005 are pre-debloated for you (HAL room is 700mb rom! Omega has same slimness as HAL just got to choose what you want uninstalled/installed thru aroma).
2. Disadvantages, not many really as long as your only flashing the N9005 compatible LTE note 3 and not the incompatible N9000 (octocore exnyos).

Also, some of the features that the carrier offers are sometimes not supported, such as WiFi Calling.

It's a long known issue that WiFi calling won't work with ROMS developed outside of a T-Mobile ROM base. I'm not blessed with enough of an understanding of how it works, but ever since my HTC Vision (G2) I've read about WiFi calling not working on other ported or international ROMs.
Aside from that feature, everything else could technically work. Personally, I like the WiFi calling and prefer to maintain it on my phone's ROM.

Yeah wifi-calling will never work on international roms. Which is fine because wifi-calling causes more issues than it fixes. The majority of my calls get dropped and it breaks messaging more often than not. PITA.

So dam frustrated. I can't seem to download that patch to get all the radios working. Keep getting a .exe file that's only 300 or so kb. Is the patch posted anywhere else. Stupid false links all over that page. Whoever thinks they can do business by tricking you into pressing the wrong link is a f'ing idiot.

Uncheck that little box that says"Use our download manager and get recommended downloads" before you download then a box will pop up and save file as

Do you have to do it from computer, or can it be done with device browser?

Ok guys and gals, here we go again. This is a stock, deodexed, version of the latest OTA MG2 build for Boost/VM variants of the Samsung Galaxy S III, with SuperSU and Busybox installed. Apks are also zipaligned. This will not install a modem and should not wipe your device. This was built from the Samsung Official MG2 build tar.
The reason I say for both variants is because as far as I can tell, this update is a “generic” update. What I mean is that whatever carrier you are on, it will update your phone and not change any of your carrier’s settings, ie, mmsc url, carrier banner, etc.
Thanks:
Google and XDA, for obvious reasons
Kennyglass123 - For posting guidance and all the awesome moderating he does around town
Stryke_the_Orc - For believing in me, for being a great friend and mentor, and always pushing me to do more
Garwynn – Without you showing me how to “catch” this, I would have never had the tar to build the zip from. Thanks for all your help and support.
Remotehugger – For being patient as I built this. I know you’ve been dying to test drive it!
If I have forgotten someone, please, please, let me know. I am all for giving credit where it is due.

Flashing Instructions:
This will NOT flash a modem. If you are coming from stock MD7, you will keep MD7. Same goes for whatever baseband you have right now!
1. Download zip to your sdcard
2. Reboot into CWM, TWRP, or other compatible recovery (I recommend CWM 6.0.3.1 Touch)
3. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik(might be able to flash dirty if coming from stock TW, try at your own risk)
4. Flash zip
5. Reboot
6. Profit
Issues:
Not an issue per se, since Sprint hasn't updated to MG2, but for some reason, flashing this to Sprint, even with the modem, is causing data issues. Might be an apn/mmsc issue, but I don't have Sprint, so I can't confirm. If someone with Sprint figures this out, please post it for all to know
Note:
As I said before, this will NOT install a modem. Until we get some modem zips, the only way that I have found to get the modem I want is to flash the OTA tar, to get the modem, then whatever zip rom I want(if that makes sense).
Downloading now !!!!!!! now i will stop getting those pesky push notifications that a firmware update is available - lol - thank you tons jd - so very much appreciated -
Thanks for the hard work! Is there anyway someone can post an up to date modem that i can flash. For some reason I am not getting data.
Is this jb4.1.2 still or 4.2 yet?

Update your profile. If that doesn't work there is a thread with all of the Sprint modems in the this section. I
Sprint Modem thread. This will give you the tools you'll need to flash the modem and also revert back if needed.

So what would be the advantage over L710VPBMD4?

I'm on Boost, and therefore have MD7, which is Boost and vm version of MD4. And I haven't noticed any real differences, except a few app updates. Sprint has not updated to MG2, only Boost and VM that I'm aware of. However, I have a theory I'd like a Sprint user to give me feedback on. If a Sprint user flashed this, please tell me what your dropdown banner and network(settings/about device/status)reads. Also, please verify mms works sending and receiving. Thanks! And enjoy. And look at the post above for the modem for this. I'll add it to the OP later.

Hi there - I'm on Sprint. I flashed your rom but unfortunately I can't get very far. I am not able to get data either with the MD4 modem or the MG2 modem. Rom will only work on wifi.

Hmmm, that's interesting. So even flashing my MG2 rom, you're unable to get any data? I would think that it would be the same concept as me(being on Boost), flashing a Sprint ROM...have you checked your apn and mmsc settings? They may be causing the issue. I may change the heading to just Boost/VM then, if that's the case. Thanks for the information.
Edit: Did the banner stay Sprint?

You're welcome. I'm currently at work, so I don't have any wi-fi. I should be home in about 2 hrs. I will check all settings and the banner and report back. Thanks

Shouldn't need anything at all to check that. I meant just the pulldown notification bar(should read Sprint), and in settings/about device/status, what does the network say....and I'm sure you know, but if you change your mmsc/apn settings, you'll need your MSL. Good luck, and thanks again for the info.
For those of you reading this and have a phone with the newest Boost MG2 update then you will need to call Boost to get your MSL. No way to get it with the old methods. Trust me, I've tried. LOL.
They'll give it to you easily enough. I had mine 10 seconds after telling them I wanted it.

I had to end up flashing back to LJ7 when I first got my phone, then do the six zeros in the terminal emulator trick, lol. Real pain in the butt, but got it. Thanks for passing this info on though :thumbup:

I had to have my MSL to use the Prl Write feature. You don't need your MSL to change your APNs. All I do to change mine is flash a Boost xml with the APN Backup and Restore app.
As for the LJ7 modem, I'm running it now. I've spoke with several of us Boost guys and we're all getting better reception with the older modem. So much for newer being better.

No. Thankfully I kept my backup. I just use the restoremodem.zip to restore my backup of MG2.
If I decide to switch back I'll give it a try. Going to stay with Lj7 right now since I'm getting better signal.
