Hi guys, im wondering is it posible for me to use this phone with other network carriers in my country. And also what do i need to do if i can? Thanks
Unlocking the phone will allow you to use any carrier that you want. An unlock code is required, Google unlocking cell phone there is tons of information to read about unlocked phone's.

You'll be able to use the voice but not the data. Because the phone is specifically designed for AT&T, it has radios for specific AT&T bandwidths. Basically, you'll be able to make calls and get 2g data but you'll never be able to get 3g or HSPA+ on any other carrier's network.

Samsung Galaxy SII ETF??
hey people i own a samsung galaxy s ii for about 2 months now and i wanted to unlock the phone
i wanted to ask you guys do i need to pay the ETF fee to the AT&T
i will also be leaving usa and then i would living in india
please help me and tell me whether i need to do something
i also wanted to buy a new iphone and take it to india for my brother
are there any legal issues of etf problems for the phone
I have the same AT&T galaxy S2 and I live outside the US. When you unlock your phone you can use it outside the US with any carrier, now the tricky part is if your phone is GSM then you may use a SIM card if its not then you need to go directly to the company and set up the phone with a number. Some companies out side the US rely only on SIM card for internet use, this does not mean your phone will not work as a phone. Figure out first if your phone is GSM, if not find out where your moving if they offer internet use for phones that don't accept SIM cards.
You can take any phone where every you want, it's YOUR PHONE. Now if the phone has a bad ESN (stolen, debt or w/e reason) then no, it's not a good idea.
My phone is a GSM
i just wanted to know whether is have to pay a Early Termination Fee to the people at AT&T
will unlocking be an issue
thank you for any help

I live in Venezuela and i get full 3g/h+ signal and download rates. Yes this phone comes with at&t frequencies, but they aren't exclusives to that carrier. Most carriers in the world use the exact same frequencies.

Not necessarily correct. 3G and H+ is possible worldwide.
The AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777 fully supports:
quad-band for 2G (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and
tri-band for 3G (850/1900/2100 MHz).
It is only missing the 900 MHz band for 3G. But much of the world uses 2100 MHz for 3G anyways, so after you unlock this phone, you'll be all set to receive 3G or H+.

There is always a ETF if you plan to cancel your wireless plan during contract. To Permanently Unlock your phone, I found the best way is to call AT&T and request an unlock code. If you don't want to deal with AT&T, you can always go to ebay and buy an unlock code.

Hey guys, I am in need of some help. I cannot seem to find the right keywords to return the search results I need.
I know there are plenty of battle tested Jellybean roms for the International (which I own). My problem is getting one that supports the kernels necessary for me to achieve service with my T-mobile provider her in America.
If anyone would be willing to link me to a JB Rom that will cure this ailment I would be deeply obliged.

I installed the i9300XXDLI6 (4.1.1) FIRMWARE and I still have the issue of forever roaming. I can select t-mobile as my network and it registers. However, I have the roaming r above my signal bars because my phone thinks I am out of my "international" coverage zone.
So I need a link to a leaked jellybean and or created jellybean firmware that will work with T-mobile service in the U.S.
Hence the reason why I made this post. It is very easy to find a jellybean firmware that will work on an i9300 for a person that lives in the UK. However it is proving very difficult to do the same for an i9300 owner in the U.S.
Any help would be much obliged.

I would have thought that the modem was the problem .

I think your on to something here. I would love to know which modem will allow me to achieve service with T-mobile in America. I know personally that I can rule out the LFB and LG8 and LE8 modems. Any others you think are worth trying? Or do you know which one will for sure work? I have tried googling this before and was unable to yield any results. It would seem that owning a quad core phone for other T-mobile users in America was not a very high priority.

I am using Hot Mobile in Israel and have the same problem. I have tried the modem from the stock ROM with out any success which leads me to be believe the modem is NOT the issue. Anybody else have any ideas. I have the right CSC and the modem from stock ROM but it is stuck on roaming.
The hardware can only connect to certain frequencies, if your companies 3G band/s don't fall under those specific bands, you will ROAM or be on 2G...
You probably ARE roaming on AT&T or a small local GSM provider. A T-Mobile branded handset probably wouldn't show you that if they had a seamless roaming agreement. So you'd see E instead.
No matter what ROM you install on the i9300, it's not gonna fix your T-Mobile problem.

Shouldn't make a difference if you have an international factory unlocked GT-I9300. I originally had AT&T service which was roaming all of the time due to no coverage in my area. I dropped AT&T for a local pre-paid service which is owned by t-mobile, I am no longer roaming (on any rom i've flashed, custom or official). If you have an unlocked i9300, ANY rom in these forums will work on any carrier as long as you have the right sim card.
Power phone off, remove sim card. Power phone on for a few minutes. Pull battery for 30 seconds, reinsert sim card, insert battery, boot phone. Don't know much else you could do. Modem is not the issue if you are getting signal.
BTW, there are plenty of U.S. TMO gt-i9300 owners here, your the first to mention any issue like this.
Yupp plenty of US Tmobile GT-I9300 users on 2G. Hardware DOES NOT SUPPORT THE RIGHT BANDS...

So your using Omega, you live in America you have T-mobile, and yet you don't have a little r above your signal bars that means your roaming?

But when I didn't have root the roaming was never there. Or when I rooted and flashed the stock firmware I didn't have it. I don't think it is an issue of my data roaming or my phone not having service in my area. I'm not sure what it is but it has not always been there and only returns when I try to put a cool Rom on it like Omega or Viking.

I got a little excited when I was reading this thread and thinking that there was a way to enable the 1700mhz band so you could actually use the i9300 with T-Mobile here in the US.

I actually have a different problem. TMobile in Seattle has repurposed their 1900Mhz band for 3g. I've verified this by putting in my sim into an optimus 2 that has no support for 1700MHz, and I was able to connect to 3g fine. On my i9300, it just doesn't go above edge. I've played around with the radio forcing it to do WCDMA only, and the darn thing just wouldn't connect. The phone is mostly stock, I flashed it with CWM recovery, and SuperNexus. It's running the i9300XXLH1 baseband which it had when I got the phone. I still get edge and the reception is definitely a modest improvement over an aging nexus one which this replaced.
I think 1900 works in LA/San Francisco as well - if any of you guys have been able to connect to tmobile 3G on a i9300, can you share your config? Worst case, I think I should just try what the ATT guys are using, but any pointers before I start this wild goose chase will be useful :good:

I realize that the T999 version offers the best national coverage, but they've started work on refarming the frequency in Seattle. An optimus 2x which supports a subset of 3g bands of the i9300 was able to connect to tmobile 3g using my same sim card. I couldn't find a better news source, but this site says what Ive seen: okay, I can't post a url here, but the first google result for tmobile 1900mhz seattle. Basically, any AT&T 3g phone should work on tomobile in my area since the optimus experiment was successful.
hey whats goin on everyone!
i was thinking of getting the Note i717 off of amazon that already unlocked brand new!

I have an unlocked ATT branded i717 that I've been using on T-Mobile here in San Diego for about 2 months now...I'm using the modified T-Mo ICS Blaze radio. Due to the area of San Diego I'm in I am not in a refarmed network area so no LTE for me but my "4G" speeds are usually around 10megs down and 2 megs up at home which I'm pretty satisfied with.

Yes you need to change your modem or else you you will be stuck using roaming on the 2G frequencies. I recommend the Blaze 4G UVMB1 modem on this page:

Of all the modems I have used, this one seems to be the best one. If something else works better let me know so I can try it for myself.

Refarmed are means tmobile is using same frequencies and towers as at&t, so the stock modem will work fine. Just input APN settings and go!

Bought it on release from Negri Electronics in Las Vegas.
Have been using it on AT&T in San Jose/San Francisco. 3G works really well, even on Caltrain which was always a nightmare before.
No issues with calls or data service on the C6802 for me. And updates are coming through fine, I installed 526 last night.

What are you all using for APN settings? My phone's data doesn't work out of the box. I guess I have to mess with the APN settings? Did anyone else have to?
Call quality is perfectly fine, the device is large so you won't be using it too often I think, once you know where the sweetspot is to place it on your ear it is completely fine.

I ran the auto-network setup and the APN was configured correctly right away.
Settings -> [wireless & Networks] more -> Internet Settings -> ATT
That was it.
Getting 13Mbps down, 1.1Mbps up, 68ms ping according to speediest.net
Easiest phone setup ever for me.
Very very easy to setup. Exactly like what you said. Just put in your sim card (Phone off). Turn it on and go to setting and download the Internet setting. Works fantastic for me. Getting 22down 41 ping. On AT&T.

I'm using this with AT&T outside of Portland Oregon. The data connectivity is just fine on H+. Call quality is good and no issues to report. Many folks state that the audio is muffled or distorted due to the membrane in place for waterproofing but I can't confirm that in my own experiences. Crystal clear here.

Just thought I would waste some space and let everyone know that I'm now a proud owner of a T-Mobile S5 coming from a locked down AT&T S5. I had the AT&T S5 and could NOT stand being locked down. I ended up returning it for an M8 simply because it wasn't locked down. I had the M8 for 5 days and I just didn't like it. I traded the M8 for my TMO S5 and it was the best phone trade I have ever done. I have owned every Samsung phone and will continue to own nothing but Samsung from this day forward......only TMO's of course or at least until they lock theirs down too.
Only issue I ran into was provisioning my SIMS for LTE to work on AT&T network. These AT&T phone Reps are either stupid or act stupid. They probably just act stupid so they want have to tell you the truth when provisioning SIMS because they don't want other carrier phones on their network. Anyway, I talked with 3 different reps and got nowhere with provisioning my SIMS. Long story short, I finally got them to provision my SIMS correctly by telling them my phone went bad and that my wife was nice enough to let me use her AT&T S5. So they ended up provisioning it by using her IMEI#. Now I'm all good to go and VERY HAPPY to be the proud owner of a TMO S5.
Sorry for wasting space, but man this is a happy day for me and I just had to share it.
Welcome to the fun side! i also had the att s5 and wheeled and dealed that locked up SOB and now happily Flashing away to my little hearts desire.
I had LTE right off the bat though with a new SIM card and the unlock code i purchased. Happy to hear you are up and running. I highly recommend giving project infinity a go, sweeeeeet ROM.
This is honestly the best combo. Tmobile phone that runs on att. I just want tmobile to fix their data speeds (non LTE) and I'll be extremely happy.
You and me both. This is the best phone i have ever had and if you knew how many i owned then youd knew it mean something. Using it on AT&T with xtrolite rom with the G3 keyboard, gonna buy a gear 2 neo next week, im in phone heaven!

I would have been good to go on my SIM, but I was coming from the M8 which had nano sim or whatever the very small one is called. I had to go in the store and get a new one and that's when I got screwed. The store rep scanned my T-Mobile S5 and that's when the fun started.....them SOB's.

Enjoy T-Mobile's awesome signal strength. The AWS LTE can't penetrate a paper bag. Even the HSPA signal is weak.

My signal is awesome. Actually my signal seems to be better than my wife's AT&T S5. Not sure if it's from some possible tweak I did or what, but I'm loving it.

That's because the TMO S5 will shows 5 bars for a -109dbm signal. A good LTE signal is anywhere from -70dbm to -90dbm.
I am using a t-mobile s5 on ATT..I have used t-mobile phones since I bought the note3.
There are several variations on apn settings that I have used..some work better than others..but if you Google Best or fastest ATT apn settings you will find several similar options. I found that trying the various settings was the best way to find what worked best for me.
After flashing any rom it is one of the things you will have to do to set up your phone.
Just thought I would share..hope it helps. You don't need ATT to provision your phone. Just set up your apn.
Good luck

You do have to get if provisioned. I took my TMO into the store to get a SIMS and they scanned my phone IMEI and blocked LTE......no matter what APN I used. Had to call in and give them a different IMEI and my SIMS number. After that all is good. If I wasn't coming from the M8 which has a nano SIM, I could have just swapped SIMS and been good to go.
Hope that makes since.
That is news to me..I aways just switched Sim cards and I was good to go. I did have to unlock the s5 so I could use it on ATT. .But other than that and adding my APNS, that's all I had to do...not sure I understand why yours was different but it really doesn't matter. Fact is its working for you, that is all that really matters. ..anyway..good luck..

That nano SIM would have worked. Just been little smaller in phone. Reason I say this was I fixed up fellow with sg3 coming from a iPhone5s . After few weeks he finally went in to get Nano SIM swapped out.

Yeah my nano from my M8 worked in my S5, but just a little tricky getting it to fit just right. Ran it for a while and every time I bumped my phone I would have to re-seat the SIM. Just decided to swap it out for that warm and fuzzy lol.
