Hello!!!
This is my first post to the forum and I hope someone can help me.
I currently have a Samsung S3 i747 on Rogers (Canada) which uses the same frequency as AT&T in the states. I want to switch over to Wind which is the equivalent to T-Mobile.
The hardware itself is compatible however I am having trouble enabling the band. I followed the following post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344627 thoroughly but I am having trouble getting QPST to locate my phone.
The QPST version I have is 2.7 Build 378 and I have tried the newer version but same result.
Through device manager, I can see my phone
View attachment 3229249
Within QPST, I add the new port:
View attachment 3229253
I then get the following message of NO PHONE:
View attachment 3229252
View attachment 3229251
I am at a loss as I do not know what else to do. I can't afford a new phone right now and I do not mind the S3 for all of its problems.
My drivers are up to date. I am on Windows 8.1 as I heard the OS could be the problem but I could be wrong.
Has any one ever been able to enable this band on the S3?
Please help

I have i545 (verizon) nc5 just wondering
Which ROM I should use if i want it to work flawless with AT&T sim? I have Hyperdrive now and its awesome but I keep getting international issues with calls. Its annoying really. When I receive calls they show up funny. I dont believe my APN is the issue.But another question what if I use odin to flash the AT&T stock on this one?
Thank you in advance for your help

The only Roms that are designed to work with your device are as listed in Verizon Galaxy S4 Forum Rom List.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon#romList
If you really want to see which of these roms work with ATT Sim then you may pose the question in
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Only as a last alternative, you may post a very specific question regarding the International issues and incorrect Caller id on ATT Forum AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting Make sure to explicitly mention you have the Verizon variant.
Last but not the least, DO NOT flash ATT S4 firmware to your device via ODIN. This will hardbrick your phone and make it completely unusable.
If you cant tell im new to this forum. I appreciate the promptness and will do so. Thanks again

Hello XDA:
I have been having an issue with my Samsung Galaxy s3 ever since returning to Canada.
To provide some background information, I was living in the UK for a year and I accidentally bricked my phone. It was a hard brick and barely recoverable. Thankfully, I was able to find a technician/electrical engineer who had the appropriate packages and know-how to rescue the phone, and he reinstalled a stock Canadian ROM with Android Version 4.4. Or so it seemed. I will include the information below but what was odd about this was that it came with the stock apps for both TELUS and Rogers installed.
Anyway, here is my mobile information following the fix:
Model #: SGH -i747M
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: I747MLUFNF2
Kernal Version: 3.4.0-1784548, [email protected] #1
Build #: KOT49H.I747MVLUFNF2
Following the technician's fix, I had full capabilities with my phone while still in the UK. Without issue. However ever since returning to Canada, I have not been able to connect to the data network. Even though the data connection setting is active and I am most certainly in range of my mobile provider. I have also confirmed with TELUS that I have active data allocation, and thus it is not an issue on their end.
Please let me know if anyone is able to direct me to a thread that may provide a solution to this. Is it an issue with the radio? I may attempt to flash a custom ROM if all else fails, however I am apprehensive to try this again as I messed my phone up the first time; it has been some time since I did this.
Anyway, I look forward to hearing from someone.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
In settings, mobile networks, access point names, be sure yours match the first set of settings in this thread,
> AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III > AT&T Galaxy S III General > TELUS APN settings - November 6, 2012
If that doesn't help, or you need more help with anything... Please post in your devices q&a section...
> AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III > AT&T Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
Thanks!
Hey KJ;
Just wanted to let you know that I entered the APN information in manually, and the data connection worked!
Thanks so much for referring me to that information, I would have never thought to have set those settings manually (sadly).
I really appreciate your help!
Have a great day.
Bryan

Awesome ! Thread closed , thank you.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. The carrier is Virgin Mobile. They are on the Sprint Network. My model is the SPH-L710T. The build number is KOT49H.L710TVPUOAOF2. It's currently running Kit Kat 4.4.2.
I have seen/read a successful rooting protocol for the SPH-710 but none for my particular model.
If anyone can point me to a successful rooting protocol and ROM for my particular phone, I'd be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
As you may have already found out, there is an XDA area dedicated to the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint but not everything there applies to the SPH-L710T. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details there where the experts familiar with your device might be best able to guide you. I also see a number of references to your model from a site search a thttp://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=SPH-L710T which might be worth reviewing.
Good luck!
Hello all,
First time poster here so hoping to drop this off in the right place. I have a brand new (out of the box) Samsung Galaxy S4 which I just purchased from my Boostmobile dealer the other day. Installed the latest Cynogenmod on it only to find that LTE did not work. 3G works fine but this prompted me to look around for help. After discussing in #SGS4 on freenode, I wiped the phone and installed the latest Optimized cm 12.1 build. Again, same problem. LTE does not work and 3G does.
Model: SPH-L720
ROM: OptimizedCM-12.1-20150817
Carrier: Boost Mobile
Something tells me my problem relates to the carrier?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I'm assuming you didn't have this problem on stock? It could be adb issues with cm. But I'd ask your question here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374543. They are the experts on your device.

Hi,
New to the Forum but hoping that someone can help me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active which I purchased off Amazon Unlocked. It is an At&t phone but I am using it in Canada on the Bell Network. I have been unable to get any updates and therefore am still running Kitcat 4.4.2.
I have downloaded the Bell Firmware but Keep Getting the Error Message "Secure Check Fail Aboot" Immediately after each attempt.
I have not been able to find an updated At&t firmware to load and as far as I can tell the Bell Marshmallow Update won't work because My Build version is G870AUCU1A..... Where as the Bell Build Version is G870WVLU1C.......
Is there a way to install this Bell Firmware on my phone ?
