As posted in the CM10.1 thread. This is what I have found works for Call Display and what doesn't. I am in Ottawa on the Rogers network running CM10.1 Latest Nightlies.

I've tried all of the 'M' modems to see which ones work for call display and this is what I found.

Working Call Display

VLLH1

LALH1

LJ1

LE8

Call Display Garbled

LK3

LK4

LL1

So it looks like the last 3 modems released have had this problem while the first 4 releases were all okay.

I can't say for sure which ones will work for you but what I've listed above is a good start..

Cheers and good luck.

I disagree with you on this one. I am able to get my call display working based on what baseband I am using.

Backing up IMEI

Hello fellow Canadians!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrnovanova:
I'm not calling you a liar but I flashed LLH1 and still no caller I.D since my rom (devil's reject) does not support it. I've had that conversation with Enewman17 and he said that his rom was based on the sprint version and they don't have caller iq cm10 and AOKP however do support caller iq. So without a rom that supports it regardless of the modem it won’t work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flexfulton:
Fair enough so we are both right in some respects.

Modem does have an affect on call display but as you say, if you don't have a Rom that supports it, it won't work no matter what.

4G does not = lte. There's a big difference in speed. Right from the mouths of rogers. The sim card they just pulled out of my old phone and put it in my new one. The sim was not lte compatible. And I have it working now and there is a noticeable difference.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acme anvil:
If you didn't have a LTE sim card then you weren't getting 4G. Probably 3G or it was reporting incorrectly. You'll see 4G on the status bar with a LTE sim when running an AT&T compatible ROM. You'll see LTE on the status bar when running a Canadian ROM.

Newbie! need help with ROM, SIM unlock and SD card recovery on a Rogers S3

I have I747M with Rogers for half year now, live in Caledon ON (only 4G coverage), Short Battery life (Normal use mostly listen to music, browsing, no gaming, no streaming video, 4G+BT on, only last for 5 hour), weaker signal reception. That’s why I want to try to root this phone.

I checked out a couple posts on this forum. many Rogers user experienced many annoying problems after rooting, such as dropping call, BT not connecting, can’t get on LTE, can’t Tethering, etc. ROMs are designed for AT&T, developers saying they only support AT&T user, not responsible for Canadian Users, it make me scared to install a rooted ROM.

Really appreciate if you can provide me some suggestions or comments

1) a Reliable, Bug Free ROM that Rogers User already tested, with improved Power and Resource mgmt, and Signal reception strengthen. I don't really care for the ROM with latest Bells and Whistles

2) I want to unlock because I travel over-sea some times. I did search on Unlocking Roger's SIM, doesn't look like there is No good apps can do it besides official Rogers unlock. can you suggest something

3) The phone has difficulty accessing SD card after I installed the latest Samsung 4.1.2. Now access to SD card is completely dead, phone says the SD card is damaged, need reformatting. I plug it into computer, all my data are gone. I need a good program to recover some of contents on this SD card

Thank You Very much
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] evilmonkey1987:
I'm in Toronto on Bell with an I747M. First of all, I had the battery life problem you're experiencing. Go to Settings->Battery and check what's using your battery. I would guess that you have something called "Android Media Service" (or something generic like "Media" or "Android OS") taking a large percentage of your battery. This is a well known bug in Android 4.1.x where a file scanner basically goes into an infinite loop, and instead of crashing out, it just keeps going and kills your battery. Unfortunately, the only fix for this is to downgrade to Android 4.0.x or upgrade to Android 4.2.x. Since I don't like going backward, I decided to go forward, but that required a new ROM, which takes me to the second part of your question.

If you want to unlock: while you are on stock 4.1.1, follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176721. If you already upgraded to 4.1.2, this may not work, but try it anyway. If it fails, you need to downgrade to 4.1.1 (use ODIN and the information in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2004650). The unlock procedure will not work on a custom ROM, you need a stock ROM, preferably 4.1.1. It worked for me, I used ODIN to flash 4.1.1 and unlocked my phone just last week. You don't need root or anything else to do this procedure, and once the procedure is done once, your phone stays unlocked forever even if you flash different (non-stock) ROMs.

In terms a totally bug-free ROM, there is no such thing. Even "official" stock carrier ROMs have bugs, such as the Android bug that you're likely experiencing which is causing your battery issues. Having said that, the ROM that I use and that has been rock-solid stable for since January is task650's AOKP (You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766684). The nice thing is that if there's a bug in an "official" ROM, you may have to wait months for an update, if you get one at all. Task updates his ROM at least once and usually twice every week. Any serious bugs that are discovered get squashed pretty much right away, some of the smaller non-critical bugs may persist a little longer. Either way, the pace of development (and hence bug fixing) is much faster than the carriers. Since it's an AOSP based ROM with all the Samsung crap removed, you get much more free space and better battery life (less crap running in the background).

Not sure about recovering data from the SD card, maybe someone else can answer that. Good luck!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baib88:
Sorry to both you again. I have a few more questions hope you can clarify for me.

1) do you need to back up everything when you downgrade from 4.1.2 (which didn't work with Sim unlock) to 4.1.1? the tread you provides is rooted stock ROM. I check a couple YouTube videos. looks like if you just want to root the phone, you don't have to back up. is only afer your phone is rooted, and you want to flash a custom ROM, you need to do a backup, and wipe everything, then install new custom ROM

2) After the phone is rooted, I need to install backup program, it seems everyone recommend Titanium backup Pro. Will this app back up everything (eg. contacts, text messages, memos, system settings, App data, etc.)? I have a lot audio books, and MP3 music within an app. I want to make sure all these files are back up. After you flashed a new custom ROM, do you have issue with restoring all your data? Is the restoring pretty easy, push a few buttons, then all your data will be restored as exactly as before?

3) So is it separate task between back up your data and back up your ROMs? See before I flash AKOP, can I backup Samsung stock ROM with any of these custom recovery program? If I don't like AKOP, I can reinstall Samsung stock ROM. everything will be go back the way it was?? All my setting will be restored?? Or see if I want to try out a bunch of custom ROMS to see which on fits me best. As long as I back up these customs ROMs in the SD card, I am risk free, right? If I encountered a custom ROM with many bugs, I can always go back to the last custom ROM I am comfortable with, all my previous setting will be all restored?

Thank you very much
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mastodonOoO:
To answer your second question titanium backup backs up apps from your phone not sure is the files associated with it are included. Just drag and drop on your desktop should work i would think. Also just the ability to delete or freeze bloatware makes it worth it. Which if your with rogers it makes it very worth it. I have titanium backup, never used it to back up, just to screw rogers. Favorite app.

I followed your suggestion, and did mrRobinson's thread exactly to downgrad from stock 4.1.2 to 4.1.1.( [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers / Sasktel] http://http://forum.xda-developers.c....php?t=1739426) I used the file name (root66_RWC_I747MVLDLK4.tar.md5) designed for Rogers. It went smoothly in Odin stage. after the phone restarted, the phone was set back to 4.1.1. the configuration is exactly the way it was, it didn't go to factory reset. I didn't lost any app or data. all the phone setting seems to be OK. I didn't lose cell signal, Mobile data, ect.

Then nightmare begin, al lot annoying error msgs keeping poping up "unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped", "unfortunately, TouchWiz Home has stopped", "unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped", I have to keep continue to hit Ok get rid of these msgs, a simple task like slide btw screens, and openning up a app take foreve. as soon as I opened up play store, these error msgs keep showing up. after I hit OK, the play store just closed on its own. Same thing for the phone app. I can't even make a phone call, it just keeping shutting down

I posted the Q on this forum, someboday ask me to do the factory reset. I am wondering if this is only option?? I didn't do factory set or Wipe all user data before I started Odin, but the OP didn't suggest any Wipe before the download.

Please help!!!

Many Thanks,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] evilmonkey1987:
I'm not sure how you managed to use ODIN without losing any apps or data...that shouldn't be possible. ODIN is supposed to overwrite all the partitions on your phone, so you should lose everything and start with a phone as if it was first taken out of the box. So to answer your question, no, it is not possible to do this without a factory reset. You should follow MrRobinson's procedure again. Also, the last time I did it, the phone refused to boot past the Samsung logo, so I had to go into recovery (Power+home+volume up at boot) and wipe (factory reset) the phone again. Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deathsting_50cal:
The reason why (probably) that he didn't lose his info is that he didn't do a factory wipe / dalvik.. etc... Also probably the reason why he's getting all the error messages. But like you said, i find it weird that Odin didn't wipe everything...

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

Whenever you flash a ROM, whether is it back to stock or a dev ROM, you should always wipe your data. Some classes might be left behind causing conflict in the code. With that being said, i believe your solution would be to do that.. Do a complete factory wipe, dalvik and everything. (if you're worried about your data, use Titanium to backup your data) combined with your google account sync, you won't lose anything.

By experience, this will most likely fix any issues that you currently have.

Edge

Hi y'all,

It's been 5 days that I've been struggling to fix my S3 i747m; i've been searching and trying different approaches however I haven't been able to get my cell back to work. I was running cm10 nighties when all started. The problem is that I can't get the signal to go from Edge connection to anything else and therefore I haven't been able to use my data and text; phone works poorly. I believe that what caused the problem was my attempt to restore app+data using the pro version of titanium backup which is when all started. After that I've tried to flash stable versions of cm10 tried every new release of the nighties and tried 3 different stock versions of android for rogers; recently running the fido rooted version 4.1.2 no custom roms. My cell was bought from rogers but i'm with fido. I think it's also worth mentioning that I got all kinds of errors when I was trying to restore my apps+data also that I tried to restore everything(meaning even the system apps that are written in red color). I hope someone have an idea of what I'm talking about and possibly give me an insight on how to solve this puzzle. :confused:

Sim unlock Koodo S3

Just some info that might help Koodo S3 owners:

I wanted to SIM unlock my SGH-I747M. It had come with Jellybean 4.1.1. Unfortunately, I allowed it to upgrade the software over the air and got 4.1.2 Too late, I found out that it is easy to unlock this phone on 4.1.1, with just some key presses on the phone (google *#197328640# galaxy unlock). So my only option was to root the phone, flash a stock ROM and then restore back to original.

1.] I rooted using ODIN 3_v3.07 and flashed this file: CF-Auto-Root-d2can-d2vl-sghi747m.tar.md5

Then I downloaded Goo Manager from Play store and using that, I installed TWRP to make a complete Nandroid backup of my system.

2.] Next, using ODIN again, I flashed the md5 stock ROM file for Koodo (filename: Samsung-Updates.com-SGH-I747M_KDO_1_20121121121413_k7ae5mp6gr.zip which I extracted using WinRar to get this file: KIES_HOME_I747MVLDLK4_I747MOYBDLK4_538866_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5) from the first page of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1968625

3.] I SIM unlocked the phone using the *#197328640* mentioned above.

4.] I re-rooted the phone as in step 1.] above, got Goo Manager, which installed TWRP.

5.] I restored my system using TWRP.

Everythings good, using speakout wireless sim card.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] evilmonkey1987:
Which stock firmware are you on? If you're on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, you should already have the latest bootloader. The only way you're on an old bootloader if you're still on 4.0.4 or below. Check Settings->About and look under "android version" for your version number. If you're on stock 4.0.4, run an update. Telus pushed out these updates months ago.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] evilmonkey1987:
Which recovery are you using? If you're using TWRP, make sure you get the d2att TWRP recovery, not the d2can one (even though your Bell phone is technically d2can). If you're still getting error 7 after you have confirmed that you're on the d2att recovery, check your recovery version. I think CM is a little picky and it doesn't like the latest version. Take a look at the thread from which you're downloading.

EDIT: I just saw you mentioned CWM. If you're using CWM, try TWRP. It's more stable and under more active development, I think.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure some stuff out regarding this model S3 and in comparison with the SGH-T999 (that videotron carries)

I picked up a used SGH-I747M that was locked to bell, got it unlocked and tried my videotron sim. I was surprised to see the "Not registered to network" message. It is my understanding (from research and spec comparisons) that the difference between the 2 models is at the 4G/LTE level (42 Mbit/s DC-HSPA+ / 100 Mbit/s LTE for the SGH-T999 and SGH-I747 respectively) so technically everything aside from high speed data access should work.

Correct me if my info is bad/wrong or should I just resell my phone and get me a SGH-T999 since i'm with them (or I could altogether change my provider)
