Samsung has source posted for both. What are the differences between these models?
I have an SGH-T999 and it's a blue T-Mo 16GB model (dual-core/2GB ram).
I believe the T999V is the Canadian AWS version.

The SGH-T999v is for WIND in Canada I believe.

According to the following article, it appears that T999 is the US TMo model, and the T999v may be a Canada-specific model.

At first I thought the two source codes may be the same (just identical copies), but they are actually two different sizes.
I know for the SGS2 Bell Canada would have the I9100M compared to the I9100 international version. For the I9000 Bell had the I9100M.
The V could signify its for Wind Mobile or Mobilicity? Usually the firmware for the I9100 would work flawlessly on the I9100M only difference was some modem files had to be borrowed from the M roms. Same for the I9000.
Continuing with the trend i would wager a guess that the I999 firmwares would work on the I999V. Whatever the differences are if your having specific problems (likely radio if anything) just borrow the modem file and away you go.
Why all the different versions? Because specific carriers like to tweak their phones just a little. FFC, no FFC, NFC or no, Specific frequency bands, theres lots of options and each one needs a slightly different number / letter.
Hope it helped! (If it did hit thanks!)

I have the s3, from Videotron, and my model# is also SGH-T999v, and I just assumed the v was for videotron, but I guess all Canadian models have it.

Will everything that works for the at&t note work for the Rogers note? Like unlocking, rooting and custom roms?

They will most likely use the same rooting methods.
Possible the same ROMs
And it's possible they may require a different kernel.
It's really hard to say though. Your best answer is to look at previous Rogers / AT&T phone development on Samsung phones. I really hope they share the same ROMs.
They NEVER use the same ROM but it is not to say you can't interchange ROMs. Sometimes, there is some very small hardware differences as well. They have different product code as well. By all means, they are not the same phone.
I have owned several rogers phones that are also on at&t i can confirm that so far thy have been identical only major difference is one has at&t crap and one has rogers crap. As far as Roms they are usually the same.

Are the Bell and Telus versions also interchangeable with the at&t version? With regards to both development and general network use (voice, UMTS, LTE...)
Reason I'm asking is because those 2 carriers don't brand their phones unlike Rogers and at&t. The Streak and international phones have spoiled me in that way.
That i can't say forsure but my guess would be they are all the same. If anything the kernels may been to be changed depending on your network

THe Robellus ones will have 1700 AWS LTE whil the AT&T one does not include these frequencies, or so is the norm on most devices according to what i have heard
You will know when the rest of us do.

The Radio is usually the biggest difference other than the bloat from both companies
Well this forum also be for the Rogers Galaxy Note i717R or will there be a separate section?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using XDA App
I think this will be the forum for it as well, in the Captivate section we support Rogers Captivates, and the only difference really should be differences in the Rogers ROM and ATT ROM, all the underlying hardware is the same so in the end they should wind up being compatible.
Yeah all the bell, telus and Rogers as well as at&t are the same phone.
Sent from my SGH-I717M using xda premium
At least the same model, but not the same phone. It seems the Canadian models are no where near as locked down as the ATT model.

In what ways is the AT&T model more locked down?

Just the fact that the Canadian models have a toggle for LTE/HSPA+, have the NFC activated, less bloatware, stock Samsung box and accessories etc.
Not a big deal, but definitely a differently packaged product for the same model phone. And in the case of the Bell Model, no carrier branding.
Hi just wondering if any of u guys heard about this i was gonna buy a gs2 today from somebody and its a tmobile phone but the tripped out part is that it only accepted at&t sim cards not tmobiles. Any ideas thanks

T mobile S2 is different from the international version. There is a separate forum for it on xda.

The phone is obviously sim-locked, no need to redirect him to another forum.

Yes I understand that, but his problem is that it's T mobile but locked to at&t which is weird. Maybe someone in the correct forum knows about it. I doubt people here have heard of such a thing.

So should i keep looking on this forum or try the other?

First thing you need to do is confirm model number. Look on the label under battery. Is it GT-I9100? Could be that it's a European T-Mobile Galaxy SII that somehow got sim-locked to AT&T.
T-Mobile Europe is different than T-Mobile USA, and uses different frequencies.
EDIT: FYI, GT-I9100 will work on both T-Mobile USA and AT&T, but will only get Edge data speeds on T-Mobile USA. It only gets 3G/H/H+ on AT&T's network, or other network that uses the same frequencies as AT&T. T-Mobile USA has their own bastardized version of the Galaxy SII, which is the SGH-T989.
In addition to that, AT&T has their own branded version of the Galaxy SII, which is the SGH-I777, and a bastardized version that is LTE enabled called the Skyrocket, which is the SGH-I727.
And this doesn't even mention all the other models for other North American carriers, or any of the Asian variants.
All really confusing, huh? Clear as mud?
With the US version having the same hardware, will we be able to flash the same roms on all the carriers? I know we have to flash our own kernel and modem to work on our network.
Negative. International version has exenos and the north America version has the s4 qualcomm

I'm only taking about the us version, they are going to release to all the major carriers at the same time.
Sent from T-Mobile's galaxy S 4g for a minute until the SIII is released in the United States
But they still got a s4 instead of exenos.

actually i don't think its gonna be that bad...as long a rom doesnt include a radio, and you inject the appropriate kernels... roms will for the most part be interchangeable between the US Variants
I am curious. Is the [email protected] able to cover GSM & CDMA in a way that the same ROM can be used on either a GSM carrier such as T-Mobile and a CDMA carrier such as US Cellular? I see that the I9300 model seems to be universal, whereas before the various carriers used different model numbers for the same phone (ie: Galaxy S).

I'm not 100%, but I think it'll be closer to what Galaxy Nexus is...they have GSM/CDMA developement and most of the roms are compatible across...they all have the same hardware, but different radios to work on different networks...so GS3 will be different as far as the International version, but as far as the TMO/ATT/SPRINT variants, it will be very close.
