Fantastic information ...

Finally, someone with a great explanation of the problem. Hmm, maybe someone can come up with a flashable file to perform these actions. Oh, how nice it is to dream.

Do the Bell and Virgin Mobile Canada S3 use the same firmware?

To check, in settings>about should I be looking at baseband version or build number?

The baseband is i747MVLLE8 and the build is IMM76D.i747MVLALE8.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dbzgod:
Do *#1234# and tell us the csc please. Normally virgin uses Bell's and it just contains virgins csc within it except this time on the S3 all I see is Bells and Sasktels. So maybe virgins is separate this time or they are just using Bell's csc since virgin is owned by bell

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bagbug:
I bought mine at a Virgin store but I use it with my Bell sim card: i747moycale8

I have all the Bell bloatwares too.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Frowben:
If I install a custom kernel will this image (specifically bell) restore the original wifi and bt drivers and kernel? Will this reinstall 3e recovery? I'm scared to touch my phone as this is my first root.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bagbug:
it was 50$ cheaper @ Virgin here.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] RewindHoodie:
New to this. I do not need anything fancy to flash the stock ROM and kernal, right - just ODIN?

Thanks.

Yes, just odin :)

If anyone owns a virgin galaxy s3, does all the rom/kernel/modem etc for bell work with the virgin version? since bell >> virgin mobile
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nitroproductions:
I would like to know this too. I am waiting to root and flash new stuff to my Virgin SGH-I747M but I don't want to trip the flash counter or have "modified" anywhere on the phone. If the Bell data works for Virgin, then this would be very good news for a lot of us. Let me know if there is some information I can get off my phone to help with this.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] majesticbluento:
for what it's worth, I have a Bell S3 with a Virgin SIM in it that has the same specs you listed in your sig:

OS: Stock Android 4.0.4

Baseband: I747MVLLE8

Build Number: IMM76D.I747MVLALE8

AP: I747MVLALE8

CP: I747MVLLE8

CSC: I747MOYCALE8

I've rooted it based on the Bell image from here and transferred the recovery.img from Team Epic via Terminal Emulator

The flash counter has not increased and the Device Status only says "Modified" if you have BusyBox installed (or, in my case, with Titanium Backup installed - which includes its own BusyBox)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] RewindHoodie:
Thank you.

And for those wondering about the Virgin S3, it is infact just a Bell one. If you remove whatever SIM card you have in it (presumably Virgin), the main screen reverts to a Bell carrier title. It also comes with all the Bell bloatware (BellTv, etc).
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] AdamLange:
At some point the firmware may split between operators providing different versions of bloatware and software :) thats why i post all versions i got for specific operators.

Adam
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] x-cimo:
Sorry wrong thread... deleted
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Intercrew:
So the baseband is the firmware right for the operators? If thats so, wouldn't that mean once a virgin mobile phone is rooted using the bell image (has anyone confirmed it working?) theres no need to worry about the firmware split in the future right? Or does that mean that later on some capabilities of certain roms wont work with the virgin phone?

I'm so confused atm to whether or not sign up as for Telus or Virgin Mobile :@. One reason why i want to sign up as virgin mobile is for unlimited incoming calls. Isn't it $0.45 per incoming call without unlimited for Telus?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] m77m7:
I have the Rogers i747 and it surprisingly doesn't have much bloatware. 4 Rogers apps and a few other samsung/google bloatware that can easily be stopped and disabled in Settings > Application manager

Can anybody comment on the amount of bloat in the Telus and Bell versions? I'm quite happy that I don't need to root or unlock this thing yet since I don't plan on travelling and using another SIM in the near future.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TRusselo:
is it just me or does the bell stock not contain the modem.bin ? the only bin file in there is 45MB and the rogers modem.bin from another thread was 10mb.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] pannik:
Is there any chance we get the Videotron stock?

I bought a Videoton SGS3 even though I am with Fido. After unlocking it succesfully, I popped in my SIM and was getting LTE speed.

I then rooted it with a T-Mobile ROM, and have been getting Edge ever since. I tried several T-Moile ROMS but am still on EDGE.

I tried fideling with the APN settings but nothing seems to work.:(

I used the direct download link and downloaded it a couple days ago..

i tried opening it today and it says that it's corrupt and cannot open the compressed zip file...:confused::confused::confused:

i am downloading again but it's MAD SLOW!

gotta replacement from Rogers and need to return to stock to send my original one back...

i got a new replacement because:

1) home button was sticking and made a loud CLICK

2) it got VERY hot! the app i downloaded would tel me my phone was heating up to 46degrees!

home button on the new one is okay.. i haven't powered it on yet until i get this one back to stock!

anyone have a mirror for the Rogers Stock ROM?

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] David Dee:
I cannot understand why the mods, or admins, don't put this thread in Android Development. It is time that the AT&T and T-Mobile Android Development threads are modified to include the respective Canadian carriers that are carrying the same variants. On all of my other devices, XDA has always behaved as a truly international forum, so I cannot understand why they are not acting that way here?? Even the One X LTE forum has international carrier names (Bell / Telestra) included and supported.

XDA: THE LTE VERSION OF THIS PHONE WAS NOT JUST LAUNCHED IN THE USA, PLEASE ADDRESS THAT AS PER MY PARAGRAPH ABOVE.

Hi guys, I want to take my phone back to rogers for warranty so im trying to flash the stock rom, but im getting stuck in the boot animation screen after flashing the rom with odin. what I doing wrong? my 15 warranty expries either today or tomorrow so a quick responce would be appreciated.

I downloaded the rom, and the kernel. from my limited knowledge i just flash the Rom in the PDA slot am i right?

nvm, i went to android recovery and wiped cache and data. all good now

Should definitely make a note about this in the OP. Doing a factory reset is required for the phone to boot after flashing these stock roms - at least if coming from CM9 or AOKP.

Do these rom have to be flashed via ODIN?

- had to use ODIN to flash...

- and after flashing done, I found out this Samsung for Rogers stock ROM still has those Rogers bloatwares + ChatOn + many more... etc

- flashed with this ROM will result your phone unrooted if your phone was previously rooted

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TLS2000:
Do some research please. The Canadian phones are the same as the US phones. This is why the ROMs are in this forum. This is why the ROMs will work on the US phones and US ROMs will work on the Canadian phones. Spreading misinformation isn't a good thing.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] franknozly:
It will work, but with some issues. For example if you use the T-Mobile version you'll get T-mobile hotspot in your settings which won't work and break the wifi hotspot functionality of your phone.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cue_32:
As a rule of thumb...

Flash ROM, factory reset, clear cache, dalvik cache, etc and reboot.

U go the extra mile and reset and clear caches before and after flashing any ROM.

and check if your Settings (packet data enabled, etc...). Sometimes its the simple things we overlook.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike-y:
you may have gotten a corrupt partition somewhere. I'd odin back to stock and start fresh. fwiw, I wouldn't trust ROM Manager for the latest recovery, it doesn't always have the correct file for your device. For example, for may particular phone Rom Manager had never worked properly and soft-bricks the phone every time.

Always check here on XDA for the proper recovery files for this device first.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike-y:
Are you doing a factory reset and wiping the cache in CWM before you flash? I always do that and then use titanium backup to restore my apps.

Also, what version of recovery are you using? I'm on CWM 5.5.0.4 which I've used to flash a couple of different roms, including the latest stock ICS from Toldo I think.

you can get it here and use ODIN to flash. Just make sure you download the correct version for your device:

Hi,

This is a really dirty fix but it works! Extracted and replaced /res/xml/music_widget_info.xml with the file attached. I've replaced the line android:resizeMode="vertical" with android:resizeMode="horizontal|vertical" and zipped the file back up again.

A little more to it then that since apktool can't compile the app but it's working :)

Just put the apk into /system/app/ or extract your own and replace the xml file.

Enjoy!

Is mobile data working at all? or is it constantly "uploading" but never "downloading" (up arrow lights but not down).

If what I just described is your issue then this is a network issue relating to android in general.

Basically your phone will be connected to two radio towers and gets confused as to which one it should use, rebooting or flight mode may help force it onto one tower or you may have to speak to your carriers "high network technical team" or whatever they are called for you to get them to force it onto one tower.
