Hey guys,
I live in Montreal, Canada and just got my S3 from Telus when it came out on the 27th. I can't seem to find any information on the internet about my specific version of S3. I'm looking to root it, but before doing that, I want to make sure I have the stock firmware in case something goes wrong. I uploaded 2 screenshots to show the version of the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the thread you want..

Your CSC looks like its telus's. Rogers Telus and Bells firmwares are not yet on samsungs kies server but soon will be sooner or later.

I have been waiting a while now for the SGS2 to come to att, but now im thinking i might just be better off with the international version anyway.
Right now im using a samsung captivate. I like that the phone has so much community support, but sometimes wish i had the i9000, because it gets updates faster, and has a better modding community.
I know att's version will have support, and will probably be ok. But since both phones are gonna cost me about the same, should i just get the international version?
I hope to be able to run cyanogenmod as well.
Internatiol is better , but if you consider to use a custom rom, i doesnt matter which version do you have.

Well akaik the captivate was a different story. I9000 roms would work on it, but with modifications and bugs. Looking back on the SGS1, i would much prefer to have the international version. Is that going to be the same case with this phone though?
Please help... I did a search and didn't find what exactly what I was looking for. I'm coming over from an iPhone So I'm in the US and I just purchased the international version of this phone. I'm going to use it on AT&T. I know that the international version does not have a warranty in the US, but am I going to have trouble getting official Android updates via Kies or Odin if I'm not rooted? In other words, does the updates originate based on what country my phone was originally made for? I got an unlocked version and I don't see any carrier branding on the outside.
just ordered an international sgs2 and found out that att is coming out with thier version this sunday. my phone has no warranty thru expansys us so i was thinking of returning it and getting one from att where i will have warranty. there are a few questions that i have though before i return the international version if anyone can help me out? are there supposed to be any major differences between the international version and the one offered by att? if not, and i do return the int. version can i still root it using the programs offered for the int. version? any help guys would be appreciated!
Keep the international version its gonna get updates first. So u don't have to wait for At&t to give you the update.

I think the AT&T version has NFC (near field communication) if that is of any interest to you. Also the AT&T version doesn't have a physical home button, instead eschewing that for a capacitive one and a search key. I don't know whether you will be able to flash international roms on it though.
You can't get the new updates through kies from samsung if you root the phone and use a different rom? just curious?
I think nfc might be good for some people but i've already had someone try to steal my identity once so keeping my credit card info on my phone for easier purchases isn't for me.
Hello,
Im fairly new here, used to own a Samsung Galaxy Portal and I got an SGS2 last friday . Excellent device and everything but one thing thats wrong, Its on T-Mobile. Everyone must agree with me that T-Mobile are fairly late with their branded firmware, updates and leave the handset users at a disadvantage. As a matter of fact, I don't know anyone who has actually recieved a T-Mobile Branded Firmware update thus far for any android device, whats the crack here? anyone have any insight on this?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
It is entirely possible to update the firmware, root and remove the network lock on your phone using the various threads on those topics. I am using XWKI4 on this SGSII which is now a generic XEU unit rather than TMU.

sent from t'internet
don't mean to revive an old thread, but yes they are. Even so, they keep their firmware seperate. Anyhow, I'm on MIUI Rom now with Dorimanx Kernel, everythings all good
So I bought a Galaxy S2 off eBay for my fiance, yet I have the I9100 version, so I was wondering if I would be able to install a new 4.0.4 system on the phone. I am currently downloading from sammobile:
Mode...............Country/Carrier...............Date....................Version.....................PDA..........................CSC
SCH-R830...............USA...............2012 November...............4.0.4...............R830VXALK1...............R830USCALK1
I want to know if I would be able to flash it and root it, or what would I need to do? Also it is CDMA or what ever you call it, meaning it takes no SIM, so how would I activate the SIM card myself, what is the name of the program? Or would it be easier and better to just buy an unlock code online and then bring it to the company to do it themselves? Any and all help would be much appreciated, I really want to get this to her ASAP as she has just changed over from iPhone to Android LOL thanks all ;D
Hi. I haven't been able to find anything on this topic. I have an N7105 Galaxy Note II that I bought from an AT&T customer. The only problem is that I am using it on TMobile. (It is officially unlocked from AT&T, etc.) The problem now comes in upgrading to 4.3. TMobile uses Kies, but Kies only wants to upgrade me to 4.1.2, which I am already on (build JZO54K.1317UCAMH3). AT&T only updates OTA. When I check for OTA update it says it is checking AT&T's servers, but I am not so sure as it never finds anything. I think it is checking TMobile servers which aren't set up for OTA or don't recognize my phone type.
Also, I went into Best Buy to the Samsung rep, and they flashed my phone with their program and put a wonderful new version of 4.1.2 over my old one (nothing changed).
I am looking for solutions that will work for my phone to get 4.3, where I can get Galaxy Gear support, the photosphere camera, spen, etc.
My first question is, if I can find a TMOBILE Rom, will it work on my AT&T Note II (similar phone, but not the same? I have the N7105). (I would like TMobile goodies on there instead of AT&T. Any custom ROMs support that?)
Second, does the AT&T build (if I can find one) work with Gear well and does the photosphere camera work well? The Samsung rep said AT&T did not work with gear well presently on Note II and I read somewhere else where the camera was not working.
Any custom ROMS I should look at that would work on my phone and get me GEAR, SPEN, PHOTOSPHERE etc? I can't seem to find that.
Any suggestions or directions I should look would well be appreciated. Thank you!
David
check your model number

N7105 "officially unlocked" by AT&T? LOL, funny...you SURE its a 7105? If it is, then you still have to wait, as they havent released 4.3 for North America yet as far as i know...well they did but then pulled it right away.
if you want all that extra samsung stuff to work you need to go with a touchwiz based 4.3 custom rom. It hasnt been released yet,so ergo, its not available for developers to make a custom rom out of it (stateside anyway)
sounds like keis is working fine, bc the 7105 is the UNLOCKED LTE North American version VERSION, the 7100 is the international version without LTE, and they are diffrent.
and you actually WANT T-MOBILE bloat ware? put this in the googler " Tmobile applications apk. good luck with that bc no one ever want to bundle "branded APKs" but then you say "instead of AT&Ts, are you implying that its already on there? and you went to Best Buy? they put it on a machine?
your best bet is to just sell that thing and buy a note 3 outright, doesnt sound like you need try and flash/root stuff.

Thanks. I was just so tired of using an AT&T phone on TMobile, I thought some of the related programs might be nice, but I see your point. They do have the upgrade for AT&T now, but I am told it is sucking battery life something fierce. Per your suggestion, I am looking for a good Note 3. Thanks!
