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.

The TeamUSCellular folks seem to be starting some really good work with this phone.

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
Nathan

maybe this will do

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

Its already bad enough that CDMA phones do t get as much love as GSM phones but tohave a CDMA phone on a smaller carrier must really suck. Good luck to you all

I'm getting it today maybe.

Phone's similar to Galaxy S 3 mini but not identical. Screen is smaller, dimension is little different, no NFC, different screen type, and no gorilla.
What I wanna know is if extended battery for S3mini is compatible with T599.

recover bricked sgh t-599
hi all
i have tried to root my galaxy exhibit t599, it is running on android 4.12.
i used odin 3.04 to flash cwm version recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.7-golden.tar, than i tried to boot into the cwm recovery but it didnt work so i connected to the phone via adb and ran "adb reboot recovery". now my phone keeps on restarting, seems like it cant get into the recovery but will keep on reboot to try.
the only other access i can have to the phone is download mode, any help would be appriciated
thanks

Why is there no support for the t599?

Is there a plan for a t599 forum?

I would also love to see a forum for the T599 (Samsung Galaxy Exhibit in US, Samsung Galaxy Ace II e in Canada) myself too.
Here are some known specs:
ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8420 (w/ ARM Mali 400)
2G GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
Android 4.1.2
4 GB internal storage
1 GB of RAM
microSD card support
3.8" screen w/ 480x800 resolution
1500 mAh removable battery
Other than the smaller screen size, different radio band support, lack of NFC and smaller internal storage, looks like it's nearly identical to the international Samsung Galaxy S 3 Mini. Uses the same SoC.

I just got this phone. I think it's called Samsung Galaxy Exhibit, T599. I'm also trying to root the phone but i'm having problems iwth it. I dl'ed the zerg_rush_root.rar file and ran the .bat file. But it kept giving me errors like location not found, unable to mount, etc... I want to know if i'd be able to reboot into recovery, then run the zerg rush.rar file from there and if it would work that way. Anyone had any success rooting this phone yet? If so, how'd u do it? I'd really like to know cause i want to erase all the bloatware.
Thanks

I just got one too, only about a gig available for apps so to be able to use something like ICS SD Binder would be nice.
The zerg_rush_root.rar did not work with my T599, I think it's just for the Exhibit II 4G
The naming of these phones does not help with searching!!
Exhibit 4G (Galaxy S variant) 2011
Exhibit II 4G T679 (Galaxy W variant) 2011
Galaxy Exhibit 4G (software update of the Exhibit II 4G) 2012
Galaxy Exhibit T599 (S III Mini variant) (this phone) 2013

The cydia impactor root method works on the t599. I put an ext4 partition on my sd card and am successfully using the link2sd app from the play store.

You can follow this thread in S3 mini forum for now. [System Dump] SGH-T599 (4.1.2) JZO54K.T599UVAMB5
You'll find a systemdump, rootmethod and original recovery to flash with Odin. Good news is also that Triangle Away works to reset custom binary count.
Hopefully someone is trying to build a custom recovery for it as well.

Thanks everyone for the info. Finally have my t599 rooted.

Any rom for this phone yet ?? T599

How did you finally root your SGH-T599, I've been looking everywhere to try and root mine and I have had ABSOLUTELY no luck at all.
Any help you could give me on getting mine rooted would be awesome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help/instructions you can give me.

Help Unlocking rooted SGH-T599N
BRAND NOOB*
I've got the Metro PCS sgh-t599n
was rooted by my ex before he split*And Iv been trying to unlock it for almost a month since by myself. And I don't know what I'm doing.
So far, the only thing I was able to unlock was a virus onto my step moms laptop. Very nice way to say thanks to her. SMH. (My dad was able to fix that but not without being super mad =/)
Someone on here must know how I can unlock it??I don't have one of those box thigs but I can connect it to my computer with USB.*It is locked to metro PCS but I already have the T mobile sim card (and like a total rookie) I activated (and paid for) prepaid service through them 3 wks ago... Sigh.*Guess I was a little over confident I would be able to figure this out lol I have done soooo much reading on it its insane
I have already canceled my metro service and didn't have them for 3 months prior, so getting my network sim unlock code from Metro isn't an option.*Also, (like a big giant noob) I thought I would be cute and try to guess the unlock pin when I had some time to kill one day*SMH.*Now I may have made it to where I will need a PUK code also
*IDK... That's probably obvious tho*lol.*If anyone can help me with any advice or information, or even just point me in the right direction you would definitely be my hero. *This is the longest I have ever been away from my 6 yr old and although we Skype often, if I am not home (or somewhere with wif ) he has no way to reach me atm, even tho I'm paying for service.*Boooo. Lol. Someone help the newbie! Please and thank you =)*

root for t599
download 4shared on your device and search on 4shared for framaroot and follow instructions on framaroot :highfive:

There are some go to YouTube and search eker626 he helped show me how to root and get custom rom

T-Mobile Galaxy SIII LTE Edition SGH-T999L Network Locked !

Hello guys !
I have this phone T-Mobile Galaxy SIII LTE Edition SGH-T999L.
My phone is Network Locked. I did couple of things to it..like tried
the free unlocking method...by *#197328640# method...going to the ServiceMode..and all that...but no chance
Also tried flashing the T999 Modem on my T999L....but then i was getting No Connectivity+IMEI "unknown"+ "ServiceMode was Blank".
I was adviced not to flash the T999 Rom on T999L as it will brick my phone. So i sticked to the Advice and didnt flashed it.
But i need to unlock it as soon as possible...So i was searching for it...and i have seen couple of ways to unlock...like...
there are some sites who provide unlock codes or unlock softwares like this one :
http://www.fastgsm.com/en/samsung/t9...code/unlocking
Do u think i can use it to unlock my phone..by paying...?
Or someone else knows a good place to purchase the code from ?
Thanks in Advance :good: .
