I agree with charlieb620 I remember reading that it had both gsm and
CDMA/Lte radios

It's possible, but it's agreed you're better off selling the phone and buying one that's more compatible since I believe it was confirmed that you won't get very good data speeds - at least that was the word in the last thread I read.

Galaxy S3 (SC-06D)

May i ask a stupid question :crying??
can i flash aokp/cm roms on Galaxy S3 (sc-06d)??:crying:
???
What carrier? And have you looked in the forums? I'd say yes, you can. Just use the proper version for your phone.

I thought this "sc-06d" is the Japanese version. :/ I don't know nor could find any information about anyone having it rooted yet.

Do NOT, under ANY circumstances, flash ANY ROM from ANY OTHER MODEL OTHER THAN VERIZON'S.
Unless it is for the SCH-I535, you WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. PERIOD.
The SC-06D refers to the Japanese GS3. Don't do it.

Not sure which provider I am on (Fixed)

I just got a SGS3 today, but I am not sure which provider it is from (Verison, AT&T...). I picked it up from a friend, and not from a store. I believe it was from Bell, but I am not too sure.
Is there a way I can find out the provider? So far, I see that you need to know your provider to make sure you don't brick your machine :/

Edit: I haven't looked into it yet (I will after I finish editing) but do I need to know the provider to unlock the phone, or is that one quick method?
Edit2: I remembered it came with a Rogers Sim card
Sounds like a stolen phone......

The baseband is i9300 xxale8.
I just tried rooting it using SGS3 Toolkit, not sure where I went wrong, but It just displays "Samsung" before going black.
Edit: When did they make you also press the Home Button to go into download mode. That caused me some headache
Reflash stock ROM maybe?

Trying that now. In download mode, it shows that the current binary is custom and system status is official. I'm searching how to turn the binary back to official. Do you know?
Nope. Sorry! It usually is branded in build.prop

I gotta ask...Did you flip it over and look at the backplate? Mine says verizon.
That is not a verizon baseband. Verizon begins with I535...not sure what provider uses that number because it appears to be the international variants baseband. Not sure though, but definitely not verizon

Didn't expect it to be from Verison, but I didn't expect it to be from the others as well, and I had to post this somewhere
I9300 sounds like an international phone so you most likely have the gsm international version... but im not gonna lie... the op makes it sound like its a stolen phone :silly:

A friend of mines relative works for a phone company, so I got it through them. I hope that doesn't make it sound sketchy :/
My old SGS2 was actually stolen from me I wish the IMEI number was printed on the box so that I could trace it
You have the international version. It is not tied to a carrier the same way the US versions are and has a separate forum.

Cricket Galaxy S3 Discussion Thread

Just wanted to start up the discussion thread for the Cricket Galaxy S3 model SCH-R530C. We share models with the USCC version, but the data doesnt work correctly when a USCC build is flashed.
Heres a write-up on how to root the Cricket GS3:

LET THE BUILDS BEGIN...please.
This goes in "android development" not a verizon Galaxy S3 side of a forum

Actually. The cricket GS3 is basically the USCC GS3 with a different modem. So, they're very similar. Exactly why its in this forum.
http://www.cricketusers.com/cricket...ricket-wireless-samsung-galaxy-s3-thread.html
Have everything working but the camera and MMS it looks like. I'm not a dev by far so someone who knows what they're doing can do this right I'm sure.
NANDROID BACKUP!
My cousin got the cricket s3, ive been helping him out, getting rooted and cwm, now just need a real ROM. I cant seem to find any dedicated places for this phone specifically, there doesnt seem to be much dev work on it either, or am i wrong?

There isn't much work on US Cellular and MetroPCS so you can expect the same for Cricket. ShabbyPenguin is being a gentleman and devoting some time. He's already started to post on CricketUsers.
I got everything working minus MMS and camera with CM10. I think others can figure out the rest.
Yep, wondering myself if a JB TW STOCK ROM can be put on here.
I have the S3 on VZW and Stock w/ Root w/ Touch CWM. The only issue is since this is ICS and not JB yet, NFC doesn't work. (unless its just not working) Says something about it can't handle the file size in transfer.
We got it with a rebate for $330 what about you?

Stock NFC can only handle small transfers like a contact card. S-Beam will allow you to transfers photos and video but of course this will only work between Samsung devices.

Stock NFC as in ICS? Whats different than ICS NFC and JB NFC? Because I can transfer anything else with my phone. Like normal 8mp images between other JB S3's and Note 2 with JB.
Is JB NFC updated or advanced?
EDIT: NVM dont know why NFC worked before without sbeam, turned on sbeam a second ago and even transferred a video.
In case people in this thread didn't know noobl did a good bit of work and got the camera working.

1) is this thread for vzw flash to cricket, or cricket s3? Found in verizon forums, part but title slightly confusing.
2)if so, anyone point me to the place for a patch/method for getting the data connection off Verizon? Flashed with talk n txt, and 3G, but still getting verizon data network instead of cricket or sprint. Has to be something I have over looked. TUI

I would guess because XDa doesn't support less popular carriers. Therefore people place the threads in the models which share the most similarities.

T-mobile to work on ATT

Hi,
I spent last night getting my t-mobile galaxy s4 to work on ATT. I did a lot of research on the subject and it wasn't that difficult at all. I bought the phone off of EBAY.
I was able to accomplish this from all of the tools here and a little research. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335109
The first thing i did was root the phone and install CWM. I then used the sim unlock found in the link above. The next step i took (because i like custom roms on my phone) was to install TASK650's AOKP rom. I flashed the rom and followed his instructions.
After the restart, I went through the welcome screen and shut the phone down. I put my sim in and started the phone. I noticed i was getting the H, but no LTE. This led me to more research. The fix was easy once I found it. The APN needs to be pointed to the ATT phone option. It defaults to wap.cingular. After about 5 minutes and a reboot the LTE appeared and after the speed tests confirmed.
This is not a guide. I am just sharing my experience. If you do this please do your own research as you can do damage to your phone. There are risks involved, flash and modify your phone at your own risk.
Just wondering, why did you get a tmobile s4 to use with att? Normally the att version can be found for cheaper price
Sent from my GT-I9505
I am confused here, what is it you were trying to accomplish? running a att rom on your tmo device? Because you say you have a tmo phone.
Why go thru all that, when this rom is already setup to work on tmo with the tmo apn settings already setup for you.
[ROM] Task650 AOKP (Jellybean 4.2.2)(6.26.2013)
Do you new people just go and see a rom you like, in any forum, and do not look in your devices forum and flash it? if so, your are asking to brick your phones.

If you want an unlocked bootloader, can't you just install the custom recovery?

I knew how to do that, but I didn't know that SCH-I535 meant it was a variant. I assume the "I" means international as I noticed my phone is unlocked from Verizon and will work in GSM and CDMA/LTE mode.
Whats the model of the non variant version?
This article says I should be able to downgrade my SCH-I535 but says it won't work on the variant.
To make sure your device is eligible with this, you must first confirm its model no. in ‘About device’ option under Settings. Another way to confirm model no. is by looking for it on the packaging box of your device. It must be SCH-I535!
Do not use the procedures discussed here on any other Galaxy S3 (including the Galaxy S3 variant at T-Mobile, US-Cellular, AT&T, Verizon and other International variants) or any other device of Samsung or any other company. You have been warned!

This is why I am wondering if I have variant. I want to downgrade to 4.1.2 but there seems to be conflicting information that I can't do this because of a locked bootloader.

That article is wrong, you can't downgrade to 4.1.2 on this phone model from 4.3.
I guarantee if you try to do that on this phone you will brick it.
