tethering problem using i727 on foreign carrier. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hello friends.
I just got rid of my LG o2x (finally) and today got my skyrocket i727 from AT&T and I have a few problems.
I use it in Chile, with my carrier "CLARO"
tethering doesn't work, when I activate it I get a message "mobile data is not available or invalid SIM"
somebody knows a definitive solution to this?, I don't want to freeze the tethering manager process everytime I need to use tethering.
is there a "skyrocket samsung official ROM"? or I have to use the AT&T rom?
in the second case, wich custom rom is the most stable or less modified? (I need a full stable phone, I work with it)
PS: please don't kill me , I already searchin the forum and I can't find an answer.

I have been using AOCP Collective ROM and it works fine. I use my tethering in regular basis and never had problem and it is 4.1.2 Sometimes you need to try all the ROMs that your phone will work the best! For me, happens to be Collective ROM.. Good Luck

Best regards,
I've seen about oversea(europe) thread.
Please refer it.

But I've one question.
Does your Skyrocket gps fix time is fast in your vietnam country?
Normally gps lock time is about 5~10 sec.
because, I will purchase skyrocket, but some of phones are using agps surver using
their own country.(for example, T-mobile G2x using T-mobile a-gps server,
So it will cause gps fix laggy)

thanks you
GPS fix super fast here. If the weather good it make take just a few second. I am trying flash T989 rom to see if anything better.
you're welcome.
I think overseas users make a thread.
Isn't it? hehe
I am very very wodner that compatibility to
AT&T ROM(727) , Rogers ROM(727R), T-mobile ROM(989) all models?
For example, I will use to Odin.
* If I have a i727 ATT Device,
1) flash to i727R ? not bricked?
2) flash to i989 ? not bricked?
If I get a i727 ATT device, I will flash i727 Rogers ROM.
Because AT&T have many pre-load apks. And too many customizing.

[q] ics installed to my htc raider, rogers - but cant use data :(

to those who used this procedure to install ics on htc raider (bell/rogers in canada) from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612685 , i was wondering if you guys can help me. i saw a couple of post from here that they were successful installing the ROM (i think one was from bell, and the other rogers); i do have to say this procedure works. i was able to install both said ruu's successfully, but with one slight problem - i cant browse the internet using my data for some reason, even if my mobile network says its ON
i could however receive incoming call or make outgoing call; but for some reason i cant use my data to browse the net ...
did anyone of u guys initially experience this? if so, can u guys help me what to do...
thanks much in advance!
do you have instal a costom rom or a official ics rom?

i believe its an official ics rom as both of them are at&t ruu files from the state...
after i installed it and when it rebooted, instead of showing rogers logo, it showed at&t.
all the apps are pretty much based on at&t and all my rogers app are gone... :/
hope this might help
not to sure about the post u visited...think you should be using this thread to fix all your raider problems...

Wifi Tethering on ATT... A Flash ROM to solve it?

My friend just bought a used Samsung Galaxy S II on AT&T from someone and cannot use it as a hotspot because she gets an error message saying to call 611. I'm curious if that message is caused by the software installed by Samsung or if it is actually a message from the ATT service they use. If it is client side (on the phone) then I would guess that Flashing a new ROM would solve this.
Does anyone know what the situation is with the Wifi Hotspot Tethering on these phones?

What rom is it running now?
My guess is ICS.
Now, carries collect every time you guys use wifi hotspot?
That is just nasty.
Everything is stock on this phone. It is running ICS 4.0.4... I'm trying to root it (OneClickRoot did not work) and get Barnacle going. Hopefully it works. If anyone knows of a way to root this phone (without flashing) we can get this question answered, I think.
Tried...
z4root - no
Universal Androot - no... only works up to Android 2.2
SuperOneClick - no .... sits Waiting for Device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 - no go... went through the process like everything was fine but the filesystem is read only... no go.
I'm out of ideas.
Also should mention, now that I have the phone. I found out that it is model SGH-i727

This forum is for the i9100, what you have is the Skyrocket. To get tethering you will need to flash a unbranded rom (NOT a i9100).
Go check the skyrocket forum. I'll report thread so its moved to correct forum for you.
Flash CWM via Odin, then use it to install superuser zip on the stock rom and you'll have root. Details are in vincom's sticky in this forum.

If you do not want to root phone and keep stock google foxfi. I believe I downloaded from the play store. But if u cant find it there then google it. I went this route for about eight months. Then rooted about a week ago.

Thanks for the help guys. I was trying to avoid ODIN but I am learning that ODIN is my friend. It worked like a charm.
Foxfi did not work on the phone for some reason. Thanks for the heads up though. :good:

Verizon Galaxy SIII in Portugal

Hi guys,
So I know it is super specific but I was wondering if anyone has used their Verizon GSIII in Portugal. I know theoretically it should work but I was looking through this thread and noticed that user Beemer533 wasn't able to get SMS and data to work even though he has used the same method in many other countries. Do you think the new update that Verizon launched a while ago should have fixed it? I know Beemer533's problem was before that update.
Thanks so much!
It should work fine, use a custom touchwiz rom though, if you are gonna be stock then you dont be able to get Data working

I'm using CleanROM V6. That should work, yeah?
Also, I just wanna be absolutely sure, should this work by just putting in the sim card or should I still use the method described in the OP of that thread I linked?
Thanks again!
Buy tomorrow this exact model
Tomorrow i go buy a cousin this exact model...
I read all the posts and my question is simples. This Verizon model works in Portugal with GSM to make calls and sem text messages, and with 3G?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say but I will be arriving in Lisboa on Monday, I will let you know if I get it working!
I am here in Lisbon now and voice, sms, and data are working perfectly. This is with the latest CleanROM R6 based on Jelly Bean. I believe you need a custom ROM like this to get data to work properly.

Did you automatically get the APN? or have to install a apn manager app?
Before I arrived I did install an APN manager app and I put into it all the possible APN's that Vodafone might use. But when I put in the SIM card it picked it up right away without me having to go into the app or anything. So I think the APN manager is not needed, but you may want to set it up before hand just to be safe.
Cheers!

[Q] S3 i9305 Limited / No Network Connect - Please Help

Hi Everyone,
I'm using a Samsung Galaxsy S3 LTE i9305 and it has been working flawlessly in Australia on a stock and custom ROM.
I'm currently travelling in the US and I have purchased a T-Mobile prepaid SIM. After inserting the new SIM I have been able to get a edge network connection and making phone calls works fine. However, ive only been able to get a Edge data connection, no 2G, 3G or 4G. This occurs in all locations, I have been in 4 major cities and it is the same.
I called T-Mobile and we checked all the settings. They were unable to find anything wrong and escalated my issue to the 3rd level team. I'm waiting to hear from them. In the mean time I have tried the following wihout succes. The phone is running cyogenmod 10.2 Nightly, I upgraded this to the latest 11.x Nightly and the result was no network connection at all. Furthermore after the upgrade I was not able to enter any APN settings, it was as if no SIM was insirted. Next I tried downgrading to Cyogenmod 10.1 Stable release and the result was the same. Finally I tried installing Paranoid Android 3.99 RC1 and again same result, no network at all.
Im running out of ideas. My next move is to try a stock rom but I hope I can avoid it because it is a large download and I have no access to a computer. What do you guys think could be causing it?
