Have you found custom ROM for i919? I am also looking for it as it is really customized for China use and even can not use Data Network apart from CNET. I would appreciate if you could kindly help me how can I find custom ROM for i919. Thanks in advance.
is this a real version of S Duos?

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.....

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.

EDIT- Its a 3months old thread dude why have u revived it ?
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).

You, kind sir, are a god among men.
I have no idea how I didn't see that before.
Dear All,
I have been facing an issue of slow gprs on my Samsung Galaxy S3 SHV-E210K due to edge network and HSDPA network not being shown while gprs is connected(instead, G and 3G are shown). The speed has dropped to as low as 1/6 of the original (which I get on my Nokia C5 phone).
I have a strong feeling that if I convert this korean version of Galaxy S3, I will be able to solve the problem. Please help me converting it completely to international version like Galaxy S3 I9305 because the configuration is exactly the same.
I dont know how to root, how to install custom rom, where can they be found. But a step by step guide will surely help me a great deal. I have heard that this is the best site for all the android forums. Please post the complete solution as soon as possible.

@kasingy: I was able to convert it successfully to i9300 using HD Revolution ROM for SHV -E210K but the problem of slow gprs persists. the data sign show G in place of E in INDIA. I think it is due to only 900Hz frequency available in this rom where as Indian phones support 850Hz for edge network..
I have tried flashing various modem.bin files for i9300 to it but didnt get signals.
What to do please help. Will be very very grateful to you!
One more thing, if you are able to solve this, many Indian customers of SHV-E210k could get relief!!
Is it posible?
Is converting to the international version even possible??
Hello everyone,
I'd like to find out, if you can help me, the following information about my Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 GT-I9205:
I am from Brazil and I have recently bought this phone in the UK on a business trip at Heathrow Airport. It was not a carrier shop, just a regular electronics shop. The phone is unlocked and working normally with my Brazilian carrier.
My questions are:
a) With the recent releases of KiKat 4.4.2 in Russia and USA for the Galaxy Mega, is there a way for me to find out (through IMEI or model number) if my phone is associated with a carrier? There was no information about it when I bought it and I just wonder if the release of KiKat for my device will depend upon this associated carrier (if there is one) for me to have it.
b) My version of the Galaxy Mega is the LTE version (GT-I9205) as opposed to the other international version (GT-I9200) and also different model number from the American one. I was thunking about trying one of the custom ROMs for the Mega but, as far as I know, the KitKat update is only related to the GT-I9200 model. Would that pose any problems if I tried to use a ROM on a different device model?
Thanks for your help!
Hi if you brought it unlocked in UK I prrseume from Dixon's travel or similar then its not associated with any carrier at all. If you flashed a ROM for the i9200 on the i9205 you would loose LTE. If you are on stock ROM you could just flash the latest from Sammy mobile be mindful of Samsung Knox. Otherwise you could flash a custom rom . I have to say for this phone and its lack of memory I moved to resurrection remix which is feature full stable and fast.

Thanks for the reply! I figured the phone was unbranded and yes, I did buy it at Dixon's Travel!
The only thing I wonder now is we have seen all these carriers releasing KitKat for the Mega, how will it reach unbranded phones - will it take longer or Samsung will release accordingly with the carriers? Just a general wondering.
