Hey, I'm a complete newb to mobile phones. I have a Gereic CDMA Sch-r760x, I found a root guide on it on this forum, forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40087292 but noticed it's really for the us cellular counterpart. My question is Will flashing and rooting somehow delete my Mobile Nation carrier information and make my phone think it's US Cellular?

I also have no clue where to put this.

what you are searching for is called debranding!
what you need to know:
your phone ,
your carrier
your actual software versions
kies software by samsung
odin
.. an some other stuff, depending on your mobile carrier
e.g. for o2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894
.. but i think it is outdated!
if you don't find something yourself, post it in the Q&A thread of your device, by providing the informations of, software versoin, android version and carrier
:good:
Thank you for the term, but I guess I didn't explain enough, I do NOT want to accidentally debrand my phone and screw up my cell service. Will rooting cause this to happen.

Hello
Simple question: I own a SGH-i717M (bell) unlocked/unbranded Note and I would like to change the provider's firmware to be a SGH-i717D (Telus) as its my current provider and I wont get the ICS release without this modification. Id also like to flash it with the Telus stock ROM before getting the update (I think I found it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634321)
Im comfortable with the technical terminology but am pretty new to the mobile world when it comes to such modifications so id appreciate any advice
Can someone direct me to proper instructions or guide to proceed? Or explain me why this would be impossible to achieve?
Cheers
I presume its impossible if nobody can answer this...

I just saw a North American phone with a Korean rom. Insane.
Why not just use current (UCLF5) ICS leak -- it has no carrier brand at all?
Ya that could work but im worried about network issues. Id like to try out the samsung apps as well unless its obvious bloatware...

I'm new to the site so please excuse my potential ignorance if this has been previously answered or if I missed anything.
So, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305. It was originally on T-Mobile UK but was completely unbranded so on startup doesn't show t-mobile, no network bloatware etc... and I have since had it unlocked (via unlock code, not root)
Waiting for the premium suite update has prompted me to wonder... as I am unlocked am I still governed by t-mobiles wait times to release the update (I actually use a voda SIM in it)? Or as its unlocked/unbranded should I effectively be at the front of the queue as it wereand receive it with other unlocked handsets? Or will I not get it at all as I'm not using a t-mobile SIM?
I'm becoming very impatient waiting for the update as got rid of my note ii in anticipation for the s3 receiving the update. Which after giving more thought to I'm not even sure if I will receive as I have the i9305 rather than the i9300 and they didn't really say specifically who the update was for?
I am on the cusp of rooting just so that I can add the premium suite on the Rom but have limited experience in rooting (only done it a couple of times) worried that I'll miss something and wont be able to return it to stock once the upgrade becomes available via kies as there are so many different guides/roms/software
Appreciate your thoughts

Don't quote me but I don't think it matters what SIM you have in, you should still see the update when it rolls out to that model number.. so long as your not rooted.

Check this live update every once in a while till your country receives the update and then start to panic

Update has nothing to do with locked or unlocked .
You get the TMobile update for your phone .
Or join XDA and flash a stock rom .

Thanks for the info so far. Can someone tell me if I need to do something specific to ensure I can restore to its original non rooted state in the future as I can't wait for the update anymore.
The update is out in the UK but I haven't received it yet

Ok SO I could not find a proper thread for this since there are SO many threads. The issue I'm having is I got a Samsung galaxy S III that was unlocked, and after I put my ATT sim into it I could recieve texts and calls but I could not recieve data. So I rooted it and applied clockwork with all my mods and figured I could find some setting that would fix it... well I was wrong. I tried global, GSM and LTE settings none of which would give me data. If there is anything anyone can do to help I would be more than appreciative.

Report the thread and a request a mod to move it to the Q&A section of the AT&T Galaxy S3 forum. This is the International S3 forum. Any suggestions you take from here are liable to brick your phone. :thumbup:
Replying from phone, so, cannot link to the right forum.

Sometimes when I flash stock 4.1.2 (ELKC) I lose data. I simply get sent APN settings by carrier to fix issue. T-Mobile UK.
Tryin Google I found this: http://galaxys3root.com/att-galaxy-s3/att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i717-apn-and-4g-lte-pta-settings/

Because you have the Version model it may be that it is incompatible with the AT&T data network, the US variants are designed to work on a specific network and can have major incompatibilities with other networks.
But check your apns just in case.

So I just unlocked my phone and was wondering the benifets. I know that I can use other networks like ATT Rogers Bell etc. But can someone explain in detail what I can do?

That is all you can do when you "unlock" your phone. You remove sim card based carrier restrictions. Once unlocked you can take an att phone and put in a tmobile sim and it might work! But that's all it can do.
You might be thinking of giving your phone "root access" if you want to do more. Once you root a phone you can remove preinstalled software or bloat. You can install custom roms. You can enable tethering when you might not of before... and so on.....
Rooting and unlocking are two different things. I hope this answers your question.

I figured you knew what rooting was because you have a decent amount of posts. I just wrote it so anyone uneducated would understand a lil better.
