Can anyone on Windmobile T999V upload a nandroid backup?
Thanks!
Im sorry to tell you this but the T999v is the tmobile version of the SIII, please link me if im incorrect.
Windmobile has SGH-T999V
Windmobile does indeed have the T999V model (I'm not sure if its the only one though...)
I bought this on June 27th and took the picture using the S3's camera just now.
As you can see the serial on the box says T999V and the image metadata refers to the camera model as T999V.
Cheers

There are a reports of wind users of T999V experiencing "baseband unknown" after flashing T999 roms. Apparently kernel is different.

I have however obtained a clean cwm nandroid backup, if anyone needs it.

Just picked this up used on craigslist. Just wondering if somebody else running a Telus-locked note can confirm if the following is stock or if it has been flashed:
Model number
SGH-I717D
Android Version
2.3.6
Baseband version
I717DTLLA2
Kernal version
2.6.35.11
Build number
GINGERBREAD.207
Sorry I couldn't do a screenshot... don't have my SIM yet.
Thanks.

Yes, though late as it may be, pretty sure it's stock for Telus, as mine displayed the same. Though this however does not tell you if it's been flashed before, just that it's running the Telus Gingerbread ROM it was shipped with. My attached screenshot was taken after I ran a nightly CM10 JB ROM and restored back to Gingerbread.
hello,
I am hoping someone can help me here. I bought galaxy s2 (brand new) on ebay few months ago. The seller was from usa and i live in australia. The phone does not have a reception most times. I get a circle with a line across display. I am with vodaphone and i have tried using other sim cards from different providers. It seems better with tpg. I have tried contacting the seller on ebay but they have closed the site now i am stuck with a phone j cant use and $580 down. I will appreciate a solution to this problem
Thanks
What version of the SGSII do you have?
What are the ROM details?
Go to Settings -> About Phone.
Generally how is reception (ie with other phones)?
I assume that the phone has been unlocked.
Is it only Vodaphone that is not getting a signal or is it only TPG that is getting a signal?
Flash an Australian CSC (make a titanium backup!) and flash a new modem.

Let us know some details. As you said the phone seller was from USA, then the phone will have the baseband and CSC for USA. You need to flash an Australian ROM on the phone

Before doing any flashing, double check and make sure you have a GT-I9100 and not one of the USA specific variants instead.

Sounds like you just need to find some Telstra modems for I9100 and flash them.
Props to whoever suggested you double check model though, as there are no less than 8 different models of Galaxy S II that can be operated in the US that I know of. Only 4 of which are actually sold by US carriers.

Thanks, on the settings - about phone it says it is I9100. Could someone pls tell me exactly what do i need to do? How do i ensure it is the correct model and how do I flash CSC for Australia. Would it be better to take it to a mobile repairer in Australia instead? I found a person that quoted $60 to $120 to repair it. Just don;t want to spend more mpney on this phone if I can do it myself.
I apologise for trouble but some step by step info would be really good.
thanks all for your responses tho.
you dont need anything until you try 2 3 things....
1: flash GB la2/la4 official rom via odin.
2: after flash and boot, dial *2767*3855#
3: read read read..... the following thread.

Mine is a i9100T but in about phone it says i9100. That's because I flashed an i9100 rom. The best way to confirm model is on the sticker under the battery.
If it is an i9100T you will need to flash a T model modem for decent reception. In Australia, both the Telstra and Vodafone models are i9100T.

Yes I know but he mentioned that in 'about phone' it says i9100. So does mine but it's a T. So to be 100% sure it's best to check the sticker. The T model is also sold overseas in a few countries like New Zealand, Israel, Thailand.

not sure about you and i9100, but once iv flashed i9000 rom on my i9000T and it ended up as i9000 everywhere.
but i9000 and i9000T were same hardware.
meaning unless you flash i9100 on i9100T it will say i9100T. and with my experience with galaxy S, i9000T was branded. flashing unbranded make it i9000

Correct about the flashing part. But both are not exactly the same. I have i9100T but with i9100 firmware. So it shows in settings and boot as i9100. Both are exactly the same except for reception radio. For me on Optus / Virgin Australia, if I don't flash a T modem after installing i9100 firmware I get very poor reception and no 3g. I have to run a T model modem.
So my point is that as we are attempting to help the OP sort out his reception issues, he needs to confirm 100% whether his phone is a i9100 or not. Just checking I'm settings doesn't prove anything. If it is then the modem is not the issue and it could be hardware or something else.

Hello,
I would sincerely appreciate if someone shed some light for me on what the Baseband version of my phone means.
I bought my phone outside of my wireless provider (Canada - Telus) 2nd hand.
It's running baseband XXKG2 (see attachment).
I want to upgrade to to ICS but I can't find an ICS with that Baseband.
What is the baseband? Do different Baseband phones differ in their hardware?
How can I upgrade to ICS? (phone is rooted).
Appreciate all the help!
Thanks,
Vitaly
It doesn't matter - baseband is the modem. You won't ever find an ICS version that matches, because any ICS firmware will contain a newer baseband/modem than XXKG2.
Just download any official ICS firmware for the I9100, any will work. (Just make sure it's for the I9100, and NOT for the I9100G) Though you'll lose root once you flash it.
Although... you should probably read some stuff, seems you need to know some basic knowledge before I'd recommend you start flashing anything.

Thanks for the reply.
So the baseband is a software version of the modem?
When I get my ROM I should be mostly concerned with localization, right?

Perhaps you should read that which I linked you to....
I looked through all these threads and while they did clarify some things, they mention nothing of the baseband version.

One of my previous replies, I said "baseband is the modem"... Then your immediate post after that was "So the baseband is a software version of the modem?" I wasn't answering that question, since I had already answered it, and didn't think it needed clarification. I guess I was wrong. Yes, you can think of it that way.
My suggestion of reading what I linked you to was for your other question.
You can also find nearly any answer to just about any question you can think of in the roll-up sticky in the General section.
My suggestion is to look under the battery on the info sticker which model you have. If it says GT-I9100M, go to Sammobile.com, download the ICS for that phone, UGLD3 and install it through Odin. If you bought it in Canada, there are good chance that it is a I9100M and not a I9100. There is no hardware difference between the two model but the UGLD3 firmware is made specifically for the 9100M model.

His screenshot in post 1 shows model number GT-I9100, not M.
EDIT: actually, your advice is good. He said that he bought the phone second hand. So it could be an I9100M with I9100 firmware installed. Sticker label under the battery is a good way to know for sure.

Yes thats the issue with the 9100M, with a I9100 firmware, only the sticker can really tell us if it is a I9100 or a I9100M.

As far as I know, functionally there is no difference between an I9100 and an I9100M. Just the bootscreen, about phone info, and build.prop. Which is why I9100 firmwares and ROMs work on an I9100M.
Thanks
Thanks for the answer guys.
I checked the sticker and it is indeed a regular GT-I9100.
So any 9100 ICS ROM will work? Just pop something localized to North America?
Thanks again for the help - wonderful community.

If it's an i9100, and not an i9100M, I'd use an i9100 firmware. Those are mostly localized anywhere BUT North America. Mine's running a Poland firmware, and I'm currently using it in the States.
Hi guys,
Can I know the stock firmware and region of my S3 by the IMEI and Serial number? I ask becuase i recently got a 2nd hand S3 and the person i got it from said that he already updated it with a jellybean version from poland.
I'm currently living in China, and from reading the forums, flashing with a new ROM will change the region of the phone based on the model number. I just want to know if its possible for me to know the exact stock information/region of my phone.
Thanks!

Hey!
I bought an international version Galaxy S3 and noticed in boot mode that my product name says SGH-T999, which is the U.S. T-Mobile version. However in about device menu my build number is indicated as I9300ZSEMC1, which is the international version from HK. Quadrant also indicates model as I9300. I haven't flashed any kernel or ROM yet, but the binary counter is at 2 so I'm guessing I didn't really receive my phone fresh out of factory. I want to recover back to stock and I'm confused on which version of stock recovery should I download? I'm guessing the ZEMC1 version, but I want to make sure Also, should I just go along with this or should I fix the wrong product name issue first?

Did you buy your phone off ebay or similar? Fake phones are often sold as one model when really they only change the model number from another one. I certainly wouldn't flash a rom until you are certain of the model.
Samsung would never supply a phone new or refurbished like this and certainly not with the counter at 2.
Trust the boot loader, it can't be modified.

I checked the hardware specs, CPU frequency and GPU match the SGH T999 with 1.5GHz and Qualcom Andreno. I guess I got screwed over a little. Then again, it doesn't lag like the legit I9300 version of my buddies so I got that going on for me.
Then, how do I proceed with flashing stock? I notice the guide I linked includes links to U.S. carrier versions so I'm assuming I can carry on with it, apart from downloading the SGH version rather than ZSEMC
EDIT: I followed androidayos guide how to revert T-mobile gs3 to stock firmware, and it worked fine. Even the sticker behind battery was reprinted for fake i9300. I really hope no one gets screwed over like that, but in case you do, this helped.
Thank you guys for the assistance.
Similar problem
I have a similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3. In odin mode it pretends to be SGH-I747, but the sticker under the battery shows to be an international model GT-I9300. The about phone settings show my S3 is an international variant. I managed to open it with a screwdriver, i was surprised to see the motherboard is for SGH-I747.
I would say my phone has been modified. I have trouble with my phone as it can't connect to HSDPA. It only connects to Edge. I was thinking that flashing would solve the issue. But which firmware? It currently has android 4.3. Your help please!!
