[Q] S3 working with tmobile but need help changing baseband

Hey everyone,
I recently was given a Verizon galaxy s3 I want to use it with tmobile. I used these steps
a) Download Samsung Drivers if you do not already have them. It is an Exe file: DOWNLOAD
b) Run what you just downloaded, to install the drivers.
c) Download the ODIN3 Software, this software lets you flash (which means write to the hardware of your computer which is normally not possible) your phone. The file you are downloading is compressed, which means you need to first uncompress it. DOWNLOAD
d) Extract (Uncompress) the folder you just downloaded, and run ODIN3 which will be one of the files inside the folder you just extracted.
NOTE ODIN3 is an Executable File, which means you do not install it, you just click on it to run it.
e) Now we need to download the file VRALEC Bootchain. This file will be used by to allow us to flash (using the ODIN3 software) a customized recovery image on to your phone. DOWNLOAD
NOTE: What an image is, is simply a snap shot of a harddrive, sort to speak. Someone who has advanced knowledge of the Android OS, created a snap shot of their Phone "Harddrive" (firmware) so that others could simply replace their current Android OS, with the customized one.
f) Turn off your phone. HOLD DOWN the Volume Down Key, Home Key, and the POWER down key. As soon as the phone Vibrates release the POWER button only. Once the ODIN Screen comes up, release the other two buttons and hit the Volume UP key.
g) Now connect your phone to your computer using your USB Cable.
h) Now on your computer, bring up ODIN3 and click on PDA, this will bring up a file selector. You want to select the VRALEC Bootchain you just downloaded (VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5 for example).
WARNING: DO NOT CLICK ANY CHECK-BOXES, YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR PHONE.
NOTE: After you select the file, the box next to the PDA button should now be populated with the location of the file: C:\Users\yourname\Downloads\VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5.
i) Now locate the Start button, located below the PDA button.
WARNING: DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR PHONE OR TURN IT OFF DURING THIS PROCESS.
NOTE: Once it is complete, your phone will restart.
j) After your phone restarts, go back to ODIN3 and click the Reset button, it is located right next to the Start button.
k) Unplug your phone and then turn it off, and finally take the back cover off.
l) We need to get back to the ODIN mode. Turn off your phone (if its not off already). Push and hold down the Volume Down Button, Home Button, and the POWER Button. As soon as the phone Vibrates release the Power Button only. Once the ODIN Screen comes up, release the other two buttons and hit the Volume UP Button.
m) Once you are in ODIN Mode connect your phone again to your computer
n) Now you need to download ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.2.3 (a recover image that you will use to replace your current Android OS with a Unlocked one). DOWNLOAD
o) After you download it, bring up the ODIN3 software again, and this time you want to UNCHECK Auto-Reboot. This is very important, after you uncheck it, the only option that should be CHECKED is the F.Rest Time option.
p) Now click on the Bootloader button and select the Clockwork recovery image we downloaded at step n. (CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5 for example)
NOTE: After you select the recovery image, the box next to the should display the location of the; C:\Users\yourname\Downloads\CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5
q) Now locate and click the Start button again, located at the bottom of the ODIN3 Panel
WARNING: DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR PHONE OR TURN IT OFF DURING THIS PROCESS.
r) After it has finished running, disconnect your phone, turn it off, and take out the battery. Leave the battery out for at least 20 seconds.
s) We need to now turn on the Phone into Recovery. To get into Recovery mode follow these steps; Turn off your phone (if its not off already). Push and hold down the Volume UP Button, Home Button, and the POWER Key. As soon as the phone Vibrates release the Power Button only.
NOTE Once you see "Recovery Mode..." at the top left of the screen you can let go of the buttons.
t) Once in recover mode, select reboot system now, after you click it, it will ask you if you want to disable recovery flash. YOU MUST SELECT "Yes - Disable recovery flash"
ATTENTION : The following step is very important, you must select Yes - Disable recovery flash
u) We need to now download the Super User Package to grant us Root. DOWNLOAD
NOTE: This package is a compressed zip file. DO NOT UNCOMPRESS THIS FILE, YOU NEED IT TO BE COMPRESSED.
v) Connect your phone back to your computer, and copy the zip file you just downloaded in step u, to your phone's External SD card. (SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip for example, will be the name of the file that you will copy over)
w) We now need to get into Recovery mode again. To get into Recovery mode follow these steps; Turn off your phone. Push and hold down the Volume UP Button, Home Button, and the POWER Key. As soon as the phone Vibrates release the Power Button only.
NOTE Once you see "Recovery Mode..." at the top left of the screen you can let go of the buttons.
x) Once you are in recovery mode, select "- install zip from sdcard"
y) Then click on "- choose zip from external sdcard"
z) Now find the file you downloaded and copied over. (SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip for example) and select it.
NOTE: if you can't see the file, you may need to scroll down, to find it.
Sigh... this is a long process.... I am past step z!

THATS IT! We are done... man
to root and unlock the bootloader and shows my phone is rooted but in step t I did not get the "Yes - Disable recovery flash" message. I did continue to the rest of the steps and it shows that my phone is rooted but I still can not stick to tmobiles towers and I keep getting a pop up asking if I want to switch to global. Does not clicking "Yes - Disable recovery flash" make the difference to making it work with tmobile? If so how can I fix this. Also, I still can not send or receive picture messages. I have the Samsung galaxy s3 i535 4.1.2. baseband version i535vrbmf1. I hope someone can help me

Instead of selecting global, try GSM/UTS

I have and still nothing. I have also tried to network unlock Via secret menu umts,debug screen,phone control, network lock but after that their is no options. Anyway to manually change the bandbase?

The baseband can be changed by flashing a different modem, I believe. What do you want to change it to?
The messages issue sounds like an APN issue to me.

Guide [Root]ing the [T230NU] for DUMMIES (Galaxy Tab 4 7.0)

1. To start off, make sure your tablet's battery is fully charged.
2. Download the 'T230NU Root Kit' & 'Samsung USB Driver' files to your PC & extract them.
3. Locate the 'Samsung USB Driver' file and install it on your PC.
4. In your Tablet go into Settings/General, scroll down and click on 'About device'. Look for where it says 'Build number', you need to TAP that continuously until it says 'Developer mode has been turned on'. You should now see 'Developer options' on top of 'About device', click it and checkmark 'USB Debugging'.
5. Connect the tablet to your PC with the USB cable.
6. In your PC locate the 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46' file and copy it to your Tablet (Root directory of your tablet is fine or place it anywhere you want, remember the location and DO NOT EXTRACT IT, just copy it as it is).
7. Disconnect the tablet from your PC & power it off.
8. Put your Tablet into 'Download Mode' (push all these three buttons at the same time; Power/VolumeDOWN/Home) As soon as you see letters on the screen IMMEDIATELY hit the 'VolumeUP' button while letting go of the other three buttons). If you did it right, it should now say 'Downloading...', if not then power it off and try again.
9. Connect the tablet to your PC with the USB cable.
10. In your PC locate the 'Odin3 v3.09' file, right click it and choose 'Run as administrator'. Once the program opens it should automatically detect your tablet--it should say 'Added!!' under Message. Now click on the button that says 'BL' and locate the 'openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-degas' file, select it and click open. Make sure to uncheck 'Auto-Reboot' and then click 'Start'. When it's done you should see the word RESET in blue on top & it should say 'RES OK!!' under message.
11. Disconnect the tablet from your PC & power it off by holding down the power button for at least 10 seconds.
12. Now that your tablet is off, go into 'Recovery Mode' (push all these three buttons at the same time; Power/VolumeUP/Home) As soon as the Samsung logo comes up let go of ONLY the power button, then as soon as you see the 'Teamwin' logo IMMEDIATELY let go of the other two buttons. If you did it right then you should now be inside the 'Teamwin' program, if not and your device booted up normally then you need to try again starting from step #7.
13. Click on 'Install' and locate the 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46' file--depending on where you saved it in your tablet on step #6, now at the bottom where it says 'Swipe to Confirm Flash' swipe it to the right, wait until it is done flashing and then choose 'Reboot System'.
14. Before you start jumping for joy, lets first check for Root status (once your tablet boots up, go to the play store and download an app called 'Root Check',
install it, open it & it should say that your device is 'ROOTED').
15. Congratulations! You now have full control of your device.

Are you aware this is now the third how-to-root guide thread made for this exact method, for this model?

You can check the uninstall option in superSu app or Re-install your firmware(or install any rom). I also think there might be some kind of superSu-uninstaller script/app somewhere in forums.

SOLUTION! Fix SIM Lock, and Google Apps error on Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 (SM-J7109)

(My first language is Spanish, I'm sorry if the translation is not perfect). ​
Device: Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016)
Model: SM-J7108
Firmware: J7108ZHU1APC3
TROUBLE:
I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) Duos, I thought it was SM-J7108, because in "Settings", the software version said "108", and behind the battery, it also said "108".
But when I was planning to update it to a new version of Android, I saw in the "Download Mode" that said model "SM-J7109", which caused me intrigue. I thought the device was actually "109" model, so I searched and downloaded the latest firmware of that model. And I proceeded to flash with Odin the firmware “J7109KEU1BRD1” of the "109" model.
When I turned on the device, I found the big problem that the device DIDN'T READ THE SIM CARDS of my country, it asked me for a SIM card from CHINA. Apparently the only firmwares for the "109" model were from China and there is no agreement with Google, so the device had NO GOOGLE APPs, nor Play Store. :crying:
I looked for solutions everywhere. And I never found a solution to return to the "108" model, it did not allow me to flash firmwares of the "108" model. I tried solutions for several days, until I succeeded in finding a new global firmware (J7109KEU1APC3) for the "109" model. I flashed it and fortunately it was perfect, without any of the above problems. :highfive:
SOLUTION:
Note:
· Make a backup of all your files because a factory restore will be done and everything will be deleted.
· Have “USB debugging” activated in the developer options. For this we go to "Settings - About the Device - Software Info" and repeatedly touch "Compilation Number" until the developer options are activated. We return to "Settings - Developer Options" and activate USB Debugging ”.
Required Files (download both on the pc):
· CROMService.apk
· Global New Firmware (J7109KEU1APC3)
Xda-Developers doesn't allow me to post links because I am a new user. You can find the apk and firmware easily if you google them. Otherwise, I can't think of any more solution that you write to my email "[email protected]" asking for the links with the title "Fix SM-J7109 Problems". (Only messages in english and spanish).
Steps:
1. Download the “CROMService.apk" and copy it to the device.
2. Install and open the app. A message will appear indicating an unlock.
3. Turn off the device.
4. Start “download mode” by pressing and holding the “Power, Volume Down and Home” buttons at the same time until a blue screen appears.
5. Press the “Volume up” button.
6. Open Odin on the PC.
8. Connect the device to the PC via USB cable.
9. In Odin it should appear colored blue in the “ID” box.
10. In Odin, click on “AP”, search and select the new global firmware (J7109KEU1APC3) that you downloaded on the pc. You need to select the ".tar" file. You have to extract the .rar file that you downloaded and you will get the .tar file. Then you select it in the "AP" box.
11. Go to the "Options" tab and make sure the "Re-Partition" box is empty. "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are the only boxes that must be activated.
12. Go back to the "Log" tab and press "Start" and the new firmware will start flashing.
13. When finished, disconnect the cable. (The device will begin to loop without being able to turn on.)
14. Just remove the battery, and put it on again.
15. Start in "Recovery Mode" by pressing and holding the "Power, Volume Up and Home" buttons at the same time, until the samsung logo and text at the top comes out. Release and wait.
16. Using the “Volume Up and Volume Down” keys, move to and select “Wipe data / factory reset”, and then move and select “YES”.
17. Now move and select “Wipe cache partition”.
18. Now move and select “Reboot system now” and the device will turn on, without any SIM card problem and with all Google services and applications installed.
I hope it helps you and that you have been able to succeed by following the steps. Don't forget to click the "Thanks" button. :fingers-crossed:​-Diego Rivera Campi-​

Hello, I did all the steps but I only get emergency calls and I am also from another country (Argentina) exactly the same thing happened to me as you. Now I definitely don't know what to do with my phone
