Do you have the international or ATT version of the phone? If the international, then no, don't try to use ATT software. Despite the fact that you might utilize the same bands for service, the radio chipset is different between and via RUU won't even try to run since it won't recognize it as the correct device.

Thanks u so helpfull, can u recommend any stable rom 4.2 or 4.4?
There aren't any stable 4.4 roms - though there are some options for usable ones but since they aren't based off of official software, you can expect some inconsistencies, glitches, issues with the camera or stuff along those lines. This is one of the more popular roms with good ratings:

Hello, I have bought this phone and extracted recovery.img but online cwm builder can't build working cwm. can someone help me? Also I would like to ask, if the firmware for Big Easy W1 is compatible with NM890 because they look same by visual and by HW side.
Stock recovery in attachment. Please help, I even can't root device and I am not newbie in this stuff.
Hi akim14,
sorry for not being able to answer your questions, but where did you buy the phone? On most sites I searched for it, it is still pre-order only.
i have bought it from focalprice and nevermind, already have recovery and root.

I actually bought one but received it and could not hear any sound when someone called in.
I sent the phone back to China and I am waiting for a new unit.
I have this phone but cannot find anything on how to root it, anyone know how ?
Or if there is a update as it is running 4.1.2 ?
Thanks in advance

I haven't received my replacement phone yet, so I couldn't try nothing.
Any upare in this matter will be welcome...
I have now flashed 4.2.1 which is working a lot better than 4.1.2. Even the GPS is now working properly.
Still need root though.

yes I would also be very interested, I just got my Newman nm890 android 4.1.2 and it has difficulty picking up a cell signal where my other cell phone gets a couple of bars. I am having difficulty with rooting it. I have been waiting for the 4.2 to be available but different from the sales ad, it does not seem to be readily coming. The previous reovery.img with the QR is it 4.1.2 or 4.2.1. It looks like the nm890 is popular.
4.2.1

Hi,
Well, I know that this is na old phone, but let's try to fix...
I have a Samsung SGH-T589 (Gravity Smart), originally from T-Mobile, but now unlocked. Since I'm in Brazil, tha 3G connection doesn't work. After some (and for some I mean months) time of research, I figured out that T-Mobile Works on a diferent 3G frequency than brazilian ops. But, I've also figured out that maybe (and just maybe) could be possible fix this by flashing the SGH-T589W (Gravity Smart/Galaxy Q) or SGH-T589R firmware on this phone. There were no problems related until now... but I'm having trouble to find this firmware. Tryied Samfirmware, Sampro, and many others...
Anyone have this file or I should just retire this phone once and forever?
Thanks everyone.

Well, it wouldn't be helped by the t589W because that also uses the weird 1700/2100 AWS bands for 3G service. The R would be the way to go, if it were possible, but even if it did flash successfully, the phone still has a hardware limitation where it just doesn't support other bands, despite what radio/modem you could install.
If you wanna try though, just for the heck of it (at your OWN risk - I do not think this will work. Not likely to hard brick it, but will probably need to restock with the correct firmware if it fails):
http://www.bergfiles.com/i/bf38cacda3hci0#
And you'll want the official firmware flashing Odin version for the phone, because for some reason it doesn't work with the regular Odin ones:

My phone only works on EDGE and now I've found why...
This model uses 3G over the 1700/1900 Mhz ... All operators in Brazil works with 3G over 850/2100 Mhz...
So, no luck for me...
Now, I'll try to swap this phone on eBay or something like...
If you know someone who wanna change a phone, please tell me...hehehehe.
Thanks for everything! Now I can sleep in Peace....
Newbi here looking for some help.
I have a galaxy s3 i9300 and I want to go to lollipop. The flash counter was tripped twice on the phone by the store I bought the phone from, so it doesnt automatically update.
I dont care about losing any and all data on the device. Can someone point me to the simplest way to do this? I did search but getting lost with some of the terms and unsure what applies to me. The only thing I need to make sure of is the phone still has no issues when I use different sims when I switch carriers in different countries when traveling.
Thanks for the help

There are no official updates to lollipop for i9300, neither was kitkat, so your best bet is to go unnoficial for all your SWEET needs (get it?).
ah ok. I didnt know lollipop was available yet for the s3. thank you so much

It will never be. If you want updates you go for a nexus device.
There isn't even an official kitkat 4.4 update for the i9300. 4.3 Jellybean was the final rom released. Samsung won't mess with it anymore since they can't get their bloated touchwiz working the way they want on a device with 1gb of RAM, even though the ditto note 4 kitkat rom pretty much did it.
Does anyone know a German ROM that I could use in the USA on my T-Mobile s5?I'm rooted and unlocked, I am located in Georgia, USA
Well .... provided that the Rom is a GSM Tmobile Rom you would only need to tweak a couple of things and flash the USA Tmobile Modem ....... the rest of the ROM is basically the same......

Thank you for your response, but unfortunately I am not that good in all that ROM stuff. Could you please be more specific, I really don't know how to do this!
This is where you get the Mantra in XDA......... "READ,READ,READ" it really does not take that much reading to get an understanding, and do more Searching......... I would guess there are many people that have done custom International ROMs that are compatible wityh the USA Tmobile....... but that.............. is what XDA is about....... you doing the legwork to learn and discover what you are looking for.......... it is findable, but unless you do the effort, it will not be found, good luck on your search.....
Oh
Just curious, I like the phone and use it over my Nite 5 when I want something slim. But there's no new roms. Why is that?

everyone is waiting for the marshmallow release
There's lots of new roms, they are just over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development
and they don't have wifi calling
I'm sorry I'm still learning. Are there certain versions we are supposed to use with the tmobile variant?
Roms and Kernels for any of the snapdragon models ( G900F/M/I/L/K/T/S/W8 ) should work on the t-mobile version, however only t-mobile based roms will have wifi calling so if you are addicted to wifi calling you will need to stick to t-mobile roms.
Also there isn't MM 6X bootloader or radio for your phone yet so the MM roms may not work I haven't tried one yet...
I've been running thunderbolt v2 for a week, very nice 5X N5 ported rom with lots of cool new features t-mobile is too cheap to enable.
the current version of thunderbolt is an MM rom so it may not work over the 5x bootloader and radio...
I also ran PopWiz Telstra v5.1 for nearly a month it's another great rom.
I recomend the kernels made for the roms too, the kernels for t-moble will break the camera and give you another problem to solve and there are several really nice kernels over in the other s5 thread anyway...
probably better served to stick with T-mobile, then root & debloat.

ha! well I understand the sentiment, but there are good reasons for slimming down the stock rom. I have been around here quite awhile and have never seen anyone succeed at graftin the T-mo Wifi Calling app into a full custom ROM. Neither have I ever seen a successful substitute for the feature - it works very well no thanks to T-Mo but thanks to the small expert contractor that developed the code.
so for those who like the feature, we debloat, and enjoy life

I gotcha, I wasn't suggesting trying to get wifi calling working in another rom, Just that you would have to go without it if you flash one of the international roms...
I have found the google hangouts dialer to be a reliable substitute for wifi calling so It is an easy move for me to wander away from a t-moble rom.
I realize many have not had as much success with hangouts for various reasons but it works for me. Plus I really don't need it at all anyway.
and HERE it is...

Ya pretty much, G900F/M/I/L/K/T/S/W8 roms should work with only minor tinkering, most of the roms over in the GS5 development thread are based off of the g900f debbase from ALEXNDR so it is probably safer to say any g900f rom will work on most any other snapdragon s5.
Although I have to say I've been on our t-mobile MM rom, deodexed/rooted and I find it pretty much flawless so I haven't been sampling the other roms for a couple of weeks now...
Have u tried this one ? @OldeCrow

There is specific warning, also it has bootloader, modem, modem lte.
DO THIS BEFORE INSTALLING THE ROM - ONLY FOR G900F:

You should be fine, the modem and boot-loader are separate and you couldn't flash them if you wanted to, they are not for our phone!
As long as you are already on our MM build Phoenix should install just fine. If you still haven't upgraded to MM officially MM roms might have trouble with the older radio and boot-loader.
The Phoenix kernel is one of the best kernels over there too.
I would take the customer.xml from your current MM CSC and place it in the zip for Phoenix before you flash it so you have the t-mobile apn info already in the rom when you flash it.
Yes I m currently on MM.
First tell me how to backup all, especially efs folder, my two phones got a problem coz of EFS , no network issue and changed many firmware but didnt get successful.
Anyways which software/app is best flashfire ? Or any other? Will custom twrp recovery do the job ?
And then please guide me to what I have to do first, for installing tht rom coz according to the OP in tht thread, my device will brick.
Thanks for replying
