I just purchased this phone like two weeks ago from tmobile but now im really interested on rooting the devise i wanted to know if its possible to install a ROM from the original Galaxy S2 into the tmobile version and if it'll function well could someone let me know thanks before i make a mistake...thanks...
no you cant, you have a different phone. check the specific forum for your phone for roms
Erhm, hi, i'm new in the forum and i hope i can explain properly what i have done so far and what i want to achieve posting my question here.
Basicaly i bought an used samsung galaxy ace s5830 in London it was a ''3'' locked phone. I am now in Brazil and after searching a little i was able to root the phone, get the unlock code but when i take the sim card out of the cellphone and insert the new one it doesn't ask for the unlock code, after searching in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192122 i read something about changing the rom in my cellphone, one that has the unlock screen. Ok, now i have some questions :
1- I looked around for some firmwares, like this site http://www.samfirmware.com/ in the galaxy ace section the firmwares were divided in regions, europe, america, asia, i know brazil is in america but it was writen usagalaxy, basicaly i want to know if i have to use the europe firmware only to get the unlock screen and then switch to a brazil firmware or if i can go to a ''brazilian area firmware'' directly
2- The posts about roms dont usualy talk about this, do you know a rom that is samasung ace compatible and has the unlock screen in it?
Thank you so far
I think you need some version of Latin America...I'm from Costa Rica...try a stock ROM for s5830L...

Have you found custom ROM for i919? I am also looking for it as it is really customized for China use and even can not use Data Network apart from CNET. I would appreciate if you could kindly help me how can I find custom ROM for i919. Thanks in advance.
is this a real version of S Duos?

Hi all,
I got my S2 from T-Mobile UK and have rooted the phone and also installed another firmware on it.
I've also unlocked the phone so it can be used on any network (as I was promised it would be when I bought it, but it wasn't)
If I wish to move back to stock ICS before I sell the phone, must I install a T-Mobile rom or can I install the Samsung release
If I do any of these will the phone remain unlocked to be used on any network
thanks in advance

Hi,
i just got i747 Galaxy S3 from Bell i would like to root and unlock it.
I also i have figured out that the CM8 for i9300 is not compatible with i747.
Is there a ClockworkMod version for i747 available?
Can it be rooted and unlocked?
I would like to use it on Fido.
thank you.
I cannot find any tutorial how to root and unlock i747.
Thanks.
I am afraid there is nothing for the I748 version yet.
Only the international version had root so far.....
I am afraid you are going to have to wait.....
EDIT :

So I'm assuming that currently there's no way to sim unlock an i747m for free then.. right?
Also, I noticed Bell and Rogers are i747m and Telus is i747d. What exactly is the difference between the two?
Looking at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27938452&postcount=2
Is it safe to assume that I can buy any unlocked Bell/Rogers/Telus Galaxy S3 from kijiji and expect LTE to work on Rogers correct?

If iam not wrong there is no hardware difference between those i747's mostly it's the software which makes the difference.
My concern is more now should i sell my Bell i747m or not? Cannot use the phone at all since iam on Fido. I would rather buy then the international i9300 Galaxy S3 rather spending 33$ to unlock the phone.
I can sell it then for the same price and buy then the i9300.
Iam not sure if its even possible to unlock the i747m at all via a app or patch. I cannot find any info about it
I got Bell S3 as well and so far I747M model dont have this nv_data.bin file for unlock. But someone already send the Bell file to developers so they can come up with the unlock app. : (
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180992127295&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:CA:1123
I got my Bell s3 unlocked with this guy. So when you buy his service from ebay, he then will send you an email what tools you need to download and install ( teamviewer and usb redirector). Also if you are lucky, he will reply to you immediately and letting you know that he is onlin. Make sure you have different sim card. Pretty easy instruction. : )
I don't know why people are okay with these ebay sellers/unlock sites, most of them are illicitly accessing the handset manufacture's database and billing you for it, unfortunately telus has a $50 unlock fee for no reason other then that they can. If anyone could create a free sim unlock solution we would be much better off, lets stop looking for the best of the worst in these expensive unlock codes and just wait for the excellent devs to come up with a solution, I just feel dirty supporting those people... Anyone agree?

Hello XDA members,
This is my 1st post on this website. I just wanted to let you know that the I747 from AT&T Galaxy S3 (locked) that I bought from eBay (which was new btw) was unlocked via software that I paid from this site called Unlockclient.com and it works. It took less than 5 minutes to permanently unlock my phone. It has all the versions of the I747/M/R. Thank you all for this awesome website.

# If you trouble yourself to start at the beginning of this page and read the stickies you will come to the conclusion that you are not the owner of I9300 and this is I9300 forum .
I9300 firmware will brick a non I9300 model .
