Hey guys.. I'm in Europe, Czech Republic right now and there is one good deal on Galaxy S3. The phone is factory unlocked.. I wonder, if its gonna work on my Canadian Telus, or Bell... Does anybody know how it works? Is it unlocked only for EU, or all world? I don't wanna have another problems like with my HTC Rezound, that works only on Rogers in Canada, even if I changed Custom ROM...
Thanks...

Wrong forum. This is the I5800/I5801 Galaxy 3 forum, not Galaxy S3 forum.

Hello, I recently bought a Samsung S2 Galaxy (LTE skyrocket - AT & T) of California, however, I live in Brazil and the phone came locked only for AT & T.
Here in Brazil we have a law requiring phone companies like AT & T Rogeres, etc.. Here they are Live, Tim, of course, Hi, just that they do not unlock phones abroad. I tried to contact AT & T however only support residents in the U.S., Brazilian contacted samsung and I answered that are not responsible for the distribution of this model (LTE) and that could not support.
I tried to unlock it through the cellunlocker, but I had no success in negotiation.
Researched and tested and there is no functional application for the release version LTE.
So I come to you guys asking for God's sake, who could unlock the LTE free. and if possible as it did, through that program, what a miracle it did, very grateful.

I ready, but i dont believe

I read, but do not think it's about the frequency, the real situation is to unlock the sim lock, and even with those mods, I believe that the cel is already unlocked them

yes i'm in the same boat, except mine is working. i have root and what not but i just want a clean rom like phantom blazer. but when i installed it everything worked freaking awesome....except no cell signal since its geared for sprint only, i wonder how hard it would be to adjust it to US Cellular.

Here is the rar file from my dropbox for CWM backup of my phone. (The file is being Uploaded)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ucd5lxmup5ibnxk/QxnDuVDtE8
There is one more way
Just odin the Verizon system rooted unlocked image. tar (1500 mb) Its rooted system image of Verizon. It works fine for me. All Verizon custom ROMs work too. Stock ROMs fail at the modem stage. Once the boot loaders are unlocked they will load too.The baseband remains of US Cellular.
MD5 file Question
There is a Kies updated for USCC phone. Kies downloaded a file and placed it in the Binary folder.
Named "VZW_HOME_R530UVXALG4_R530UUSCALG4_961795_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.MD5" can this be flashed using ODIN to create a stock phone. Sorry new to flashing

Can SCH-R530 be used on GSM network?
Hello,
Can the US Cellular SCH-R530 be used on GSM network? I read about the Verizon SCH-I535 being turned into a world phone. The AT&T rom can be flashed to the SCH-I535 and everything works. I think the only thing that cannot be flashed is the ATT modem into the verizon S3.
So can something like this be done to the SCH-R530 phone?
If anyone is willing to try or has any input, please let us know.! Thank you..

Are you sure the Verizon ROM will work smoothly in Samsung S3 R530 US Cellular and not brick the phone?
Is the Verizon S3 I535 and USCC S3 R530 have the same hardware?
thanks,

If you haven't found help yet, this should fix you ups. All you have to do is install CWM via Odin and then flash one of these!
Would the vzw Roms for s3 work on the new metro s3 as long as the modems stay the same
Anyone know if Rom dev for metro is up

Hi,
Just bought Samsung Galaxy S3 from US Cellular.
Got it JTagged and rooted.
Wondering if I can flash it to AT&T so I can use it with AT&T.
Any help is appreciated.

I don't think so. AT&T uses GSM and US Cellular uses CDMA. You'd need the GSM flavor of the Galaxy S3 to run on AT&T.

I'm looking for a stock ROM for the Galaxy 5/Europa, specifically Canada, but any North American one should work. My friend is running MadTeam Cyano on it right now and is having the phone switched over to his little sister because he's getting an SIII and we want to make sure that the idiots at Sasktel don't notice and modifications.
All I can find on Google and SamMobile is European and South American/Mexican Spanish Branded ROMs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking but although they are both the "Galaxy S3", the i535 and the i9300 are totally different phones, with totally different hardware. ROMs made for one will not work on the other. However, the i535 is a "World Phone", its radio hardware can work on quite a few GSM networks worldwide.
