Hello!
Probably it's not the perfect thread to post in, but i've got an Ace with signal problems. I'm on 3 UK network, and so far i know, there's only 2.2 branded firmware issued for this device. I have that in md5 format, which i can flash through odin, however that is a [email protected] Is there any way to flash the csc from that to any gingerbread version? as it is in .rfs format, and odin does not really like it. Is it affecting in any way my phone if i flash that to a gingerbread format, or ICS if i can? If so, could you tell me how to do it? Or how to solve my network signal issue? So far itried it with CM7, CM9, but it was still bad. I mean i did not have any signal, however in my I9100 there's almost full coverage in the same place, and i'm not using stock rom on that one. I just flashed the modem from the carrier branded firmware, but to flash on that device is much more easier, as there is many source for the modem file in the correct format.
So to make it clear, i need someone to help me to solve network issue (3 UK) in any way like flashing somehow the modem from old 2.2 (if that's possible), or if someone can point me a firmware with working "radio"/modem. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
Sorry guys for what might appear to be a noob question, but is there any major differences between the I9300 and I9300T model? and more importantly, will I9300 ROMs work on a I9300T model S3? or is the difference so minor that it won't really matter?
I have only just noticed that my model had the T. If someone could clear that up or shed some light on the matter, it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
I flashed it with the I9300 Italian latest rom with no issues at all. So I think they are the same, I think the network locked ones come with T, I got mine unlocked at the store where I bought it. It was Vodafone stock.

I'm guessing there must be some hardware difference. A different model number usually (always I think) indicates some hardware difference. Just adding a letter though, is usually the smallest difference of all.
The i9300 is capable of being locked, or at least it would seem to be considering it has menu functions for it. Could be wrong on this though, maybe it can't.
The T model is tuned to favour the 850mhz band. There is a difference in hardware but very minor. Other than that they are the same.
Just Google i9100 i9100t (S2 model) and you will find alot of info. Something about different sar value.
Anyway, as for flashing you'll have no problems. Firmwares are interchangeable. Same with the S2 but on the S2, it was better to flash a T modem afterwards for optimum reception.

I'm really curious about this coming from a gti9100T to a gti9300T I have found zero difference in using Tmodems vs any other

Oh ok. The only reason I ask is because I was on Sammobile and noticed this warning which stated "Do not flash I9300T roms with your GT-I9300 device!" so was wondering if firmwares were truely interchangeable.
I've been on Slim ICS on my I9000 for a while and was looking forward to flashing it on my S3, but was unsure if it would be compatible. I've tried asking in the thread but haven't got a response and thought that mayb someone else in the community could just confirm this for me.
but also from the little reading I've done, it appears that I can flash any I9300 custom ROM on my T model S3 and will just need to flash a T modem later. If someone could just confirm this, it would make my decision to flash a custom ROM a lot easier
Thanks

The T model of the S2 had a chip in line where the non-T model had just straight through wires. I was speculated that this was some sort of band filter that attenuated the non-850Mhz bands to favour the 850MHz range.
From experience I can say that, on Telstra, the S2 T model occasionally had crap reception where a non-T model right nex to it was fine. I believe this was in areas where the Telstra 850MHz network was unavailable and it was using on of their 2100MHz towers. Eventually, afer a lot of troubleshooting and flashing different ROMs and modems, I sold the T and got the non-T model.
I would NOT under ANY circumstances get another T model unless one of these useless clowns (Samsung, Telstra, Vodafone and the likes) actually tells me in writing what the difference is.
I did a hardware comparison with my friends GS3.
He has the I9300 and I have the I9300T.
Once both phones were flashed to the same ROM (Vodafone New Zealand) using ODIN, the only difference I could find (including the hardware that were listed) was the bootloader.
I just used first 3 apps I could find when I searched "hardware info" in the Google Play Store.
They all gave me the same results saying that the only difference was the bootloader.
Also we are both on the same network (2Degrees) which uses 900Mhz.
I have yet to have a close look at attenuation to see if there is any real difference though.

oh ok, that's quite interesting. I'm not very familiar with bootloaders (it was never an issue on the I9000 for me and so don't have much experience with it), but when you say the difference was the bootloader, what do you mean exactly?
you mentioned that you both FLASHED to the same ROM (Vodafone NZ), was that through ODIN or through CWM? As I've mentioned in the OP, my main concern is whether or not I am able to flash a I9300 ROM on my I9300T S3.
I'm no rush atm, as I'm waiting for a stock Aus VAU firmware to be released as a precautionary measure before I start getting into the custom ROMS, but just wanted to know so I can start researching which ROMs to flash once I'm ready
If you could confirm whether your I9300T model was able to flash a regular I9300 custom ROM, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you've got any recommendations as to which ROMs are good, that would be helpful too.
Cheers

yeah I ordered mine online and didn't realise it was going to be a T model S3. If I had known, It would have most likely affected my decision to purchase the phone. From my experience on the I9000, it's always so much easier to have the full international version (more compatible ROMs, more options, more support etc) and having any variants (not sure how much of a variant the T model is) is always abit more troublesome
I'm just hoping that the I9300T is compatible with the vast majority of custom ROMs out there for the I9300, otherwise I'll be hating life for the next 2 years
you mentioned that you both FLASHED to the same ROM (Vodafone NZ), was that through ODIN or through CWM?
If you read on, just after I say that, I say "using ODIN", so yes I did it through ODIN.
If you could confirm whether your I9300T model was able to flash a regular I9300 custom ROM
Yes, I9300 ROM's can be flashed on to the I9300T. They use the same hardware AFAIK.
The only thing you need to worry about is flashing the right modem, but if your network uses the standard 900Mhz band, then you'll be right.
When I got mine they didn't tell me it was the T model, but after flashing a stock ROM instead of the branded ROM, it was fine and I didn't notice any problems.
All you need to do is flash a I9300 stock ROM then flash CF-root using ODIN to root the phone, then you can use CWM to put any ROM you want on the phone.
EDIT:
A bootloader is basically the stuff that interfaces with your hardware right at the start.
You should never touch this because if you screw up your bootloader then you can kiss your phone goodbye.
Flashing custom ROM's is safe because they never touch the bootloader, thats an entirely different procedure using ODIN.
The only reason I want to touch the bootloader is because I want to know the difference between the I9300 bootloader and the I9300T bootloader.

Sorry, I must have missed the fact that you mentioned you used ODIN, but thanks for confirming again.
I've done some reading through XDA already and I've gathered that some people have been flashing regular I9300 ROMs on a T model S3, but that's only through looking at their sig, which may or may not always be up-to-date, so again, thanks for confirming that too
It also appears some people using the T model have been using the regular modem, and with better results too. I'll probably try experimenting between the 2 variations of the modem and finding the best fit for myself
I think Chainfire's CF-Root is compatible for both I9300 and I9300T models, so I should be ok to root and just get straight into the custom ROMs without flashing a stock I9300 first
and thanks for that brief bootloader explanation. seems like if I get CF-Root running, I should be good to go with the custom ROMs so won't look into it too much, but it's good to have a better understanding of it.
Many thanks for all your help so far

Ok. Let me explain what I've noticed and hopefully clear things up.
I had the S1 non T and flashed the guts out of it.
Then got a T model S2. Running Optus sim. Got poor reception when I flashed an international rom + modem. Turned out all I had to do was flash a T modem anytime I flashed any custom or i9100 rom. But, as mentioned I could flash anything I wanted.
Now, I have a T model S3 with the same setup, and thought it would be like the S2. Turns out that it doesn't require a T modem for good reception. I use the lf5 modem and its just as good if not better than the T modems I've tried.
So, for the S3 flash any rom you want. If it does suffer poor reception there are plenty of T modems available in xda in cwm and Odin format. But don't think you'll need to.

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't upgrade to the S2 so was not familiar (or even aware) of there being a T variant. As such, was not sure how much of an impact that would have when flashing roms. I just knew that a lot of people had issues when flashing the I9000 roms on a variant of the S1.
But now that I know that any S3 custom rom should run fine on my T model S3, I'll start flashing once a stock AUS VAU firmware has been released (in case anything happens). I'm also using this time to see if there are any hardware faults with my device, rather than running a custom rom and finding an issue, and not be sure if it was there with the stock firmware or not.
And again, many thanks for clearing that up. I can now start searching through XDA for roms (that appear stable) and then flash once that stock firmware is released

No problem.
Earlier I saw a thread where a Vodafone Aus firmware had been added. It was in cwm format so all that needs to be done is flash and unroot + clear counter. Phone would then be stock.

Hi
my phone is also with Unknown baseband and it wont connect to the mobile network. It is not a problem of the sim as the same works on other phones. I tried to restore the original firmware/do a software update but i cannot connect to Kies and over Wifi the upgrade is failing with a generic error of Processing failing.
This has happened after I rooted the phone with Odin.
I know that restoring the baseband could fix it but how do I go about it? Could you point me to the right instructions on how to get it back to life? For instance where do you get the basebands and then how do you flash the phone ?
Read the stickied modem threads .
But i suggest you flash the stock firmware through Odin .
Its all in the stickied basics .

If you got an unknown baseband usually a re-flash of the original firmware solves it, you can download them on know websites as for instance sammobile.com. How to flash a ROM or baseband/modem please have a look in the FAQ thread and stickies. You can find a collection of modems in the General section's baseband/modem thread.

For my I9305 i tried to flash the original firmware I9305XXBMF1_I9305EVRBMF1_EVR (The UK version for EE) but still the baseband is unknown and the phone is unable to connect to the network. It looks like i need to actually install a Baseband rather than flashing with the firmware (still not 100% sure on the difference and which on excludes the other for what)
I am reading the FAQ but i might want to wait for this before using Odin again.
Has anyone got a recommendation for a baseband for Samsung S3 LTD - I9305 ?
Hello, first to say I'm from Spain and I don't speak English very good, but I'll try to do my best.
I have a GT-I9100 with CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2), baseband I9100XXLS8 (when I instaled 4.1.2) and Orange Spain.
My problem is when I am using mobile data, full signal, my phone often doesn't connect to the internet. I talked with a friend and he told me that I have to research how to change my baseband to the best for my android version and mobile operator. Can you help me? Tell me how to do it? Wich baseband version to use and where to find it?
If you don't understand something or you need me to tell you some other data, just ask and I'll try to do it my best.
Thanks,
Efalgae.
Just search for veyka,and google what can go wrong with flashing anything.
Read about nand/efs backups/odin pc setup/cwm and mobile odin.
Or you can just do what most of the impatient/lazy clowns on here do and flash a modem and pray nothing goes wrong.
-------------------------------------------
maybe your an iphone expert
------------------------------------------
Now then, you could sit here & hope someone who uses your carrier reads your thread & suggests a modem to test, and that may or may not happen. You could spend ages doing Google/XDA searches trying to find a modem that works with your carrier, or you could do the following (And I assume you mean mobile data sometimes works, sometimes doesn't ?) which could solve your problem sooner rather than later:-
Go to Samfirmware, find the stock roms released by your carrier. Start with the most recent one. Work out which modem is bundled with that stock rom (It lists Product Code/PDA/CSC/MODEM for each firmware when you click the link), do an XDA or Google search for that modem, flash it with CWM & test it. If that doesn't improve your connectivity, try the modem bundled with the stock rom released before the most recent one, test. And so on until you find one that works. Hopefully the modem bundled with your carrier's most recently released stock rom works for you tho; you'd expect they'd test it to ensure it works for most people most of the time & in most places with their network.
Whatever you do, don't flash any RIL's unless you've tried every single modem (including those bundled with stock roms released by other carriers & even in other countries; there are dozens), only flash a RIL as a last resort.
If mobile data never works, check the APN settings in settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point names Vs the APN settings on your carrier's website (Actually, double check these anyway even if you end up testing modems as above).
Thanks to all.
Because I have no patience, I decided to flash last official firmware released by Orange Spain, found in SamMobile.
I flashed it, flashed CWM again, and CM 10.1 again.
Seems to work perfectly.
Anyway, thanks again to yor answers
And...yes, my mobile data was workin sometimes and sometimes not.

Haha yeah and let's eat some <<tortilla de papas>>
I'm not a newbie to flashing ROMs but I am for flashing ROMs to my T820. I was following some instructions and something went horribly wrong. The ONLY thing I'm able to get into is the downloader (pwr+vol-dwn+home). I've gone through some threads about needing to re-flash stock image using Odin. So my question is, is re-falshing stock ROM the answer to this issue? And if so, where can I find a stock ROM for T820. I've looked through all kinds of threads and other sites looking for it and can't find it. I've tried using SamFirm but being as I can't get into my tablet I don't know the CSC/Region to use; and sidebar, it always says unauthorized anyway regardless of what region I put in the form. Does anyone have any advice to get me up and running? I started down this process because I had finally had it with the poor performance after a 2019 update and thought I'd try to give another ROM a try. Now I'd be happy to get back to my poor performing tablet.

Sorry to hear that.
A stock reflashing should help, but of course I can't guarantee that.
The original Samfirm isn't working any more.
You have to take samfirm_reborn0.3.6.2.
As you don't write where you're from I can't recommend a region.
Do you know this site: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s3/firmware/#SM-T820 as well?

Here's question, does it matter what CSC I use? I get it probably has implications for the cell version (T825 I think?), but for the wifi version is it needed? Could I use any English firmware? The only CSC codes I could find related to USA were ones bound to a carrier. I also found a few "unknown" CSC codes. Any idea what those are for?
@gregchak by searching the net for you I've found these two:
List of Samsung Galaxy CSC Country Specific Product code and region they belong to
List of CSC Country Specific code for Samsung Galaxy & various countries, regions, network carriers, model numbers, variants phone belong to.
www.androidsage.com
Samsung CSC Codes List For All Countries | iHax
Here is the complete Samsung CSC Codes list of all the regions and carriers. The Samsung Country Sepcific Codes list should help you identify the right firmware for your device.
ihax.io
In the past I thought like you that it doesn't matter, but I've realized after searching there are differences in Wifi frequencies/channels in the world.
idk how much the CSC interacts with Wifi.
So it might be ok, but idk exactly.
Btw doesn't it say anything on the T820 packing.
Unfortunately the packaging has long since been thrown out. I bought this tablet about 3-4 years ago. I tried a few different CSC codes that might work. XAR is apparently what worked for me. I was able to get that image installed via Odin and I'm back up and running. I really appreciate your help!
I followed the documentation I could find for getting the CSC from the settings app on my tablet but it says to look for it under Settings -> About Tablet -> Software Information -> Service Provider Software Version section. I don't have such a section. Also, being a tablet, I can't use the phone dialer method either. Do you know what the method is to get the CSC from settings? Or is there another way?

You could try PhoneINFOsam or HW info, but they need root what you probably don't have any longer, or do you?

Download mode shows your original Country code, no matter what CSC you flash
btw. it may be helpful for others if you edit your thread title and add "solved"

Good point about the title. I edited as you mentioned.
I tried booting into download mode but I don't see any CSC codes noted there. It looks like what I posted pics attached to my original post. The documentation I had read previously said that it is noted in download mode under the carrier section. But since my tablet is WiFi only I don't have a carrier section displayed in download mode.
@gregchak I suspected that, but it might have worked.
Another chance is the serial number perhaps.
But as there will be no more OTA updates published by Samsung it's not really necessary to know the former CSC.
Btw the app PhoneInfoSAM is telling me the original CSC on my WIFI P900.
