Another question on my previous inquiry.
Is the Samsung S3 sold in India with normal sim card? or micro sim card? If it is normal, than I can delay my purchase and buy it in India. Your answers will be of great benifit for me.
Thanks.
You should probably add this to your other thread. And ask a mod to move that one to Q&A.

Ditto. Refurb? Bought from seller not Verizon?
sent from my rooted SCH-I535 using xda premium
Sounds peculiar for sure. Refurbished is highly unlikely. Even at Bestbuy if a brand new phone breaks they don't have refurbishes available for a while.
what to do with my vgs3....
Try a factory reset
Go to recovery
There should be an option there I think
Vol up+home+power
Also should be in q&a

This should be in Q&A, but I don't blame the OP for not posting it in there. This whole merged forum is a mess. This thread would have just been lost in all of the other questions.

Questions never, ever belong in Development, no matter what the reason. I understand why it's done, but it will not be allowed to stay there, sorry.
Sorry didn't know not to ask questions there. I bought the phone new at the Verizon on launch day. I thought it ment unlocked bootloader, at least it did with my HTC Sensation. Wasn't sure if anyone else had that or what?

Then you need to review the posting rules for Development. If you didn't create it, it doesn't belong there - questions belong in Q&A. Sorry to belabor the point, but there are far, far too many questions being posted in Development, particularly by Verizon customers.
Is it possible to get the Samsung i9300 to work on the Verizon network?
No, no, and hell no

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Verizon is a CDMA network and the i9300 doesn't have a CDMA radio, so no. However, it is possible to use a Verizon i535 on GSM networks if you're willing to work for it.
Where are u from??? Im from mexico and i would like to change my sgs3 Verizon for i9300.

What size is the Sd card? And are you sure that you have it formatted properly?
Could be going bad. I had one go bad it I think it started this way. Most reputable companies offer a warranty. Mine was a SanDisk, I called and after a 10min call, they emailed me a shipping label and I had a new one within 7 business days. Might be a good idea just to get the ball rolling on a new one.
I don't flash anything from my sd, I just keep music on it. This phone seems to hate sd cards at times.

It is the 16 gb sd card that came stock with the phone from Verizon... Could rooting /having a custom Rom have something to do with it?

Call US cellular and have them run the IMEI to check it.
Unfortunately, as far as unlocking it and putting it on AT&T, I'm currently not seeing any unlocks for that to make it possible.

Honestly, after doing some searching... the people in this thread link below may be of the most help to you. Phone unlocking and flashing isn't my most knowledgeable subject... and according to the thread below, it's somehow possible to unlock this CDMA phone to a GSM network... which would include AT&T. So, I wish you good luck. And maybe someone more knowledgeable on this subject will answer you here.

According to the thread, you must be rooted and be on a 4.1.2 AOKP ROM for it to work.

My suggestion would be sell the us cellular one and get the one you need. You can unlock and flash but you will be limited to 3g data speeds. Your calling and texting should be ok.

And that's most likely what I will do/amd doing already, but in the mean time I would like to be able to use it. So I found and easy root methed and the phone is now rooted. because its cdma does it still need *unlocked* ?

Make a backup of the stock ROM to your internal and external memory if you have an SD card in it. Go to that thread link I provided you earlier and see if it works for you.
You'll have to flash a ROM such as the one the thread talks about to get the menu.

So I was able to get to the menu by doing this *#22745927, that allowed access to the other menu. but in that menuthe last option that I need to select is not there lol. dead end. I was looking at the other method but Im not sure I want to pay for those aps if they are yet another dead end.
I switched to T-Mobile today. I'm using my Verizon s3. I have data and can make calls and text. And I only get 2g....which is know is because of the radio in the phone. But I'm just wondering if I can put a T-Mobile ROM on my Verizon s3 since I have their service and what not. Its for nothing more than an esthetic thing for me.

A lot of the ROMs for the US S3 are shared between carrier editions. Which ROM are you interested in specifically?

Well that was going to be my next question. I currently use clean ROM. Is there a ROM comparable to that?
