Anyone on CM10.1.3 having problems with SMS and MMS?

Everything is working fine for me more or less but mms will not download and sometimes sms will not send.

I triple check the apn (LTE the default) and they are correct. I have no problem with 3G and H+ Data.

I am using an unlocked Rogers I747m.

Any ideas?

Telus Sgh-i747 used on US ATT

Hello all,

I'm new to the forums. I just bought an S3 off of Amazon. It is an sgh-i747 from Telus. It is unlocked and currently being used on ATT network here in the states. I would like to root the phone but I'm not sure what I should use Att files or Telus? The phone is working fine however it does take a few minutes to get a signal. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I dont want to brick my brand new phone. It has 4.1.2 installed.

Hi there, im relatively new to XDA and have a big issue i need some help with so if anyone knows the answer please PM me so my trivial seeming problems dont clog up forums- I have an s3, i747m that was running latest android 4.3 update. Tried to root with CF-auotroot, but knox security policy kept impeding me. I did eventualy get root but my entire system was so painfully slow, when i downloaded Root Checker it even said system is running slow and never actually did verify root access since it took so long to try.

I gave up on rooting Android 4.3 build and tried to flash a pre-rooted rogers android 4.1.2 rom via odin. It instantly said FAIL. I then tried the non rooted rogers stock rom and it instantly said failed. So now I am left with a bricked device and am out of ideas on how to get anything working.. in download mode I have some new lines in top left i havent seen before:Warranty Bit: 1. Bootloader RP SWREV: 1. SW REV CHECK FAIL: Fused 1 > Binary 0. Can any one pleeeeease help me?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cooro:
you can try flashing cyanogenmod rom 10.2 which is equivalent of 4.3 jelly bean. However, Can you get your phone into clockworks or twrp recovery mode? If you can, download a cyanogenmodd d2att, make sure it's most stable version and not nightlies. And then put that on a microsd and flash it. But before flashing, make sure you wipe your phone clean by using either clockworks or trp recovery mode (depends which one you have).

Put your phone in download mode and flash twrp recovery with odin v1.85. Here's the link to the twrp recovery tar file that you need to flash:

I rooted this morning using mrRobinson's "new" root image. I tried root checker and it was going slow so I downloaded SuperSu, it updated my binary, then it allowed rootchecker then it was fine after that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] McCrossin12:
Did you ever figure out how to fix this? I had this exact same problem, and after pulling my hair out I realized all I had to do was update SuperSu in the play store. I think when flashing CF-Autoroot it installs a relatively old version of SuperSu. After updating and going into the app, it asks if you want to disable KNOX security service.

Hope that helps!

Newbie alert!!

Well, hi XDA members.

I'm also quite new into this forums and into the root use of my Galaxy S3.

Now, I have a big doubt over here.

Right now, I have in my power a Galaxy S3 i747M.

I wanted so much to root and install a custom ROM for it. What I couldn't understand was the difference between the i747 model and the i747m.

I searched like crazy for potential errors that might've occurred when rooting or flashing. Finally I found plenty of answers telling that there was absolutely no difference, other than the i747m was the Canadian model. So I decided to root it, and it worked. Then I decided to install 4.4 Kitkat (CM 11) ROM, and it beautifully worked. So, my doubt is.. DOES IT MATTER IF IT IS I747 OR I747M???

For me, there was and hasn't been absolutely no problem.

Now, I have a request for orientation on this forum. What to do to be able to request or give advise on the features of the ROM. Or what to do to be able to find 4.3 apps, (or 4.2/4.1) apps to be able to use them on Kitkat. My complain is that I thought 4.4 was going o be the glory, but it turns out that Kitkat has not fully compatibility with screen mirroring... that is to be able to stream content from your cellphone to your TV, like is possible on 4.1, .1.2, .2, and .3 (touchwiz for S3 and S4).

I'm sorry for my sudden doubts, like I said, I'm new, and I request help.:confused:

Hi

I have a Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M, which is already rooted and running 4.1.2. I just tried installing new ROMs on it via TWRP. First I tried Omni Rom kit Kat, then CM11, then CM 10.2, as well as 10.1. Every time it didn't work. I loaded the ROM and the corresponding GAPPS via SD card, wiped data, system, delicious, cache, then tried installing from ZIP. I don't know why none of them worked. I read Omni ROM may not, and may only work on the ATT S3, but CM10 not working? I softbricked the phone a few times in the process, but was smart enough to back it up, and am currently at square one. Can someone help please?

I want CM11, or better yet Kit Kat!

Thanks in advance
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gatondroid:
CM11 is KitKat.

I found a tutorial on how to install KitKat with CM11 for i747 At&T.. Even though my model is i747M from Fido.. I researched about the difference.. Well.. I found out that there is none. I proceeded carefully... And Tah-da!!!! I have 4.4.2 running on the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cabanon:
weird question here. I installed the newest CWM version (to upgrade to 4.3) and I thought the Telus version was the "d2att" version but upon installling it, it stated that I needed the "d2spr" version on this phone instead of "d2att". I thought this was very weird at first but that was the only one working, so I installed it.

now, im trying to install CM10.2 and on his website, it says I should use the d2att version of his rom to be compatible. so I use this one, but neither d2att or d2spr want to install on my s3, they all says STATUS 7 error. found a little tutorial but now it says STATUS 6. bummer

what Am I doing wrong ? what version do I have to choose, d2att or d2spr ?

thanks a bunch.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:

Update to 4.4.2 - Lost root

Apparently, updating to 4.4.2 thru Kies wipes my root. Now, I cannot root my device again. Though it's advertised as the most efficient version of Android, ever, my phone sucks horribly now. It's super leggy and battery life instantly suffers (50% less). I tried using Odin 3.04 to root, but it wouldn't work. I had CWM 6.6 on there. Nothing's working. Tried the "towering" as well. Nothing. Any suggestions? Will try to download Odin 3.07 and/or 3.09 later.

AT&T i747 on Bell

Hi,

Out of ignorance I bought a used AT&T i747 running rooted 4.1.2 a while ago with the intention of using it on Bell in Canada. I never did get it to work (It could find the Rogers network, but no others...). Since then I bought a (used) Bell i747m and it has been working, but now I dropped it and broke the screen :(. So... I'm trying again on the AT&T phone. Is there a way to make an AT&T SIII work on Bell? Does anyone know if it's as simple as flashing stock Bell firmware on the i747? Is it safe to try, and then if it doesn't work to go back to AT&T firmware?

If there is a real risk of bricking my phone, or losing my IMEI or any such nonsense, I will just sell the AT&T phone and either fix my i747m or replace it.

Thanks for your help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
As long as you did not update to 4.3 firmware, there is a free sim unlock method around here somewhere. In the T-Mobile forums its in the General section sticky rollup thread. But that's probably all you need to do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] quaxer:
The phone is unlocked... If it wasn't it would have given a SIM not accepted error when I started it up with a Bell SIM card. Or do you mean something different by "sim unlock"?

It only brings up Rogers Wireless when I search for a network...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
In that case, you could swap the motherboards. Im guessing they'll fit since both are I747 variants.

To answer your first question though, you cannot flash firmware from any other device. Roms are ok, but not the firmware.

I think swapping the motherboard will be the best solution though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] quaxer:
That suggestion kind of sets my heart to quaking... I've never tried to get inside a smartphone before, and I would be scared that I'd wreck both phones... Also, the i747m has numerous problems, including extremely poor battery life, inconsistent call behaviour and random reboots. Is there a chance that some of that would follow the motherboard onto the i747?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Its very possible any problems would follow the motherboard, if they are firmware related, they definitely will.

Its actually a very easy thing to do though. Search "galaxy s3 disassembly" on YouTube and you'll see exsctly what it involves.

You could try copying the apns-conf.xml from the Bell device. Rename the original on the I747 so you can easily revert if need be. Its located in /system/etc. After copying it over, reboot and test. You may need to manually enter the right apn too.

If you care to give it a try, flash my Sprint KK Port and see if it works on thst rom. (Saranhai posted it in the development section. StockMod KK)

If it works on that rom, copy the apns-conf.xml just to kerp on your sdcard. I used one that should cover just about every carrier we deal with in these forums. If it works, whenever you flash another rom, just copy it over the one included and reboot.

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

I uploaded the apns-conf.xml for you. After downloading, delete the .txt off the filename so it should just be apns-conf.xml.

Copy this to /system/etc (dont forget to change permissions to match the original file)

You cant flash roms via odin lol, they are zip files odin flashes tar files.

Download the latest firmware for your device from sammobile.com and flash that using odin 3.09.

Then cf auto root.

Then twrp

All using the AP button

Problem solved. I picked up another S3 on sat and other than downloading the latest firmware those 3 things took literally about 5 min.

Its very hard to brick a sammy device..do the above and your gtg.

And before you do that you need to read as much as possible on those 3 items before flashing anything.by trying to flash a rom via odin is a good indicator your very new to this type of thing. Thats no problem but read read read THEN flash not vice versa.

A quick question to fellow Canadians (or those having the i747M phone):

When dealing with the Galaxy S4 (i317m), most of the time just downgrading the modem

(and some voodoo in the service menu) was enough to unlock the handset.

Even if it did NOT work, there was never any risk in bricking it.

I don't see any discussions about similar ways to unlock the i747M (or Galaxy S3 in general).

Every time it comes down to: unless you have a non-KNOX device (i.e. Android version below 4.3),

you can't unlock it through the service menu. Because flashing down from 4.3+ bricks the handset...

Just want to make sure I understand: Does this apply even when "downgrading" the modem only?

Will I brick it when doing that? If not, can I get into the service menu after "downgrading"?

Thanks.

Most just say same as ATT's from USA but thats a great way to brick cause settings. files needed, and directions are diff . So I tried to do stuff buy way of apks to unlock or whatever. None works. Only a few like kingroot. None of the unlocks. Even many of the paid unlock sites to get my nck code can't. Xda trys the hardest but even here we are told use Att. After many many hours im told stuff like its because of knox or some other reason. If we had a forum for Canadian threads at least we would be able to save a lot of cells and a lot of grief n headaches. As for me I'm quitting on working on Canadian cells n stuff without better help.

CRdroid O/S works good on my old Samsung Galaxy S3 i747

I realize this is an old thread. But maybe there are others who still tinker around with this old (circa 2012) Samsung Galaxy S3 i747

While I am a newbie, I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CRdroid.

Totally free of Google; no Google Play Store, no Google Pay, no Google Framework, no Gapps, no Google spyware, no Google bloatware, no Google tracking etc.

I download all my apps as APK's which are readily available on the Net ( Google them . . . just kidding! ).

My older Samsung S3 i747 was a 'd2att' originally locked to Rogers, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Then switched over to MTS (Manitoba Telephone System). Now running on Bell Canada. My replacement is also a Samsung S3 i747, originally running T-Mobile in Arizona, now running on Bell Canada.
