Hi all
Let me clarify first that I tried searching this topic before creating a new post. I did not find anything to my specific question.
I have a Rogers branded X10.
I used the Proyaz video on Youtube to root my phone. Now my phone's model number shows X10i and the Build number shows R2BA020.
I want to unbrand my phone as well. I have found a couple of guides to debrand the phone but my question is will it work on my phone since its now rooted? Also because it now shows X10i as the model number do I download files for X10a (North America) or X10i (Most of Europe and Asia)? I am in Canada myself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

hey, 1st of all u havent mentioned that u originally had x10a or x10i? considering that ur location is canada, chances are ur riding on x10a,(Pl check it b4) as far as i know, for debranded ur phone u ill need a custom rom and then root it...so i ill say, follow the bin4ry's method in devlopment forum and then u can end up having a debranded phone along with rooted one..if u dont care about root, then u can try picking one of the roms in jerlepelea's forum in devloper section and flash it...hope this answers ur ques..
The chances are you have already debranded your phone as you've obviously flashed the X10i rom to it, your issue is getting back to X10a, so read some of the threads in the development section.
I have the same question as well (also with Rogers), but instead, I used the one-click root apk to root my x10. I want to know if I can still debrand my phone somehow..because it obviously isn't debranded yet..I still see that annoying Rogers logo when I start up my phone..anyone know? Or should I unroot then debrand??

U.S. Cellular's variant (Model SCH-R760) is the same as Sprint's Epic 4G Touch, but without the integrated WiMax radio. All other specifications remain the same.
So, the correct forum is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
Hi,
i just got i747 Galaxy S3 from Bell i would like to root and unlock it.
I also i have figured out that the CM8 for i9300 is not compatible with i747.
Is there a ClockworkMod version for i747 available?
Can it be rooted and unlocked?
I would like to use it on Fido.
thank you.
I cannot find any tutorial how to root and unlock i747.
Thanks.
I am afraid there is nothing for the I748 version yet.
Only the international version had root so far.....
I am afraid you are going to have to wait.....
EDIT :

So I'm assuming that currently there's no way to sim unlock an i747m for free then.. right?
Also, I noticed Bell and Rogers are i747m and Telus is i747d. What exactly is the difference between the two?
Looking at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27938452&postcount=2
Is it safe to assume that I can buy any unlocked Bell/Rogers/Telus Galaxy S3 from kijiji and expect LTE to work on Rogers correct?

If iam not wrong there is no hardware difference between those i747's mostly it's the software which makes the difference.
My concern is more now should i sell my Bell i747m or not? Cannot use the phone at all since iam on Fido. I would rather buy then the international i9300 Galaxy S3 rather spending 33$ to unlock the phone.
I can sell it then for the same price and buy then the i9300.
Iam not sure if its even possible to unlock the i747m at all via a app or patch. I cannot find any info about it
I got Bell S3 as well and so far I747M model dont have this nv_data.bin file for unlock. But someone already send the Bell file to developers so they can come up with the unlock app. : (
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180992127295&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:CA:1123
I got my Bell s3 unlocked with this guy. So when you buy his service from ebay, he then will send you an email what tools you need to download and install ( teamviewer and usb redirector). Also if you are lucky, he will reply to you immediately and letting you know that he is onlin. Make sure you have different sim card. Pretty easy instruction. : )
I don't know why people are okay with these ebay sellers/unlock sites, most of them are illicitly accessing the handset manufacture's database and billing you for it, unfortunately telus has a $50 unlock fee for no reason other then that they can. If anyone could create a free sim unlock solution we would be much better off, lets stop looking for the best of the worst in these expensive unlock codes and just wait for the excellent devs to come up with a solution, I just feel dirty supporting those people... Anyone agree?

Hello XDA members,
This is my 1st post on this website. I just wanted to let you know that the I747 from AT&T Galaxy S3 (locked) that I bought from eBay (which was new btw) was unlocked via software that I paid from this site called Unlockclient.com and it works. It took less than 5 minutes to permanently unlock my phone. It has all the versions of the I747/M/R. Thank you all for this awesome website.

# If you trouble yourself to start at the beginning of this page and read the stickies you will come to the conclusion that you are not the owner of I9300 and this is I9300 forum .
I9300 firmware will brick a non I9300 model .

Hi Guys,
Brand new Galaxy S3 user here and I've just Rooted my phone and I'm searching around on which ROM to flash. Only issue is that I have no idea which version I need in terms of ROM. I know when rooting my phone I followed a different guideline and I don't want to fubar up my phone. I'm with Rogers and I know I followed a US/Canadian guide...
When looking on the get.cm website I saw this
d2usc
Samsung Galaxy S III (US Cell)
which seems to be the closest thing to me but I just want to be sure.
Thanks,
This is International I9300 forum flashing firmware from here may brick another model .

What is the exact model number of your phone? (can be found in settings->about device)
SGH-I747M
I've found the SlimBean ROM for my phone but even that took a while to hunt down.
I tried searching on get.cm but I've found that it never actually gives me my provider (Rogers).
