Can SCH-R530 be used on GSM network?

Hello,

Can the US Cellular SCH-R530 be used on GSM network? I read about the Verizon SCH-I535 being turned into a world phone. The AT&T rom can be flashed to the SCH-I535 and everything works. I think the only thing that cannot be flashed is the ATT modem into the verizon S3.

So can something like this be done to the SCH-R530 phone?

If anyone is willing to try or has any input, please let us know.! Thank you..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] onedha:
Are you sure the Verizon ROM will work smoothly in Samsung S3 R530 US Cellular and not brick the phone?

Is the Verizon S3 I535 and USCC S3 R530 have the same hardware?

thanks,

If you haven't found help yet, this should fix you ups. All you have to do is install CWM via Odin and then flash one of these!

Any luck with trying to get the SCH-R530 to work on a GSM network? I am stuck with one as well and would like to put it on a GSM network. thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
Dis you mean global isn't available for the USC GS3? The Verizon version has been confirmed to work internationally on 900/1800 MHz gsm/edge and 2100mhz HSPA+. It also works on 850/1900mhz gsm/edge domestically. It doesn't yet support HSPA+ over 850/1900 MHz but there is an effort to make that possible. search the Verizon android development forum for global.

I am curious/would like to see the USC/MetroPCS SCH R530 work on 850/1900 GSM. Metro is being bought by T Mobile, a GSM carrier.

SCH R530 as Global Phone.

The thing about the USC/MetroPCS SCH R530 is that it has the same hardware and specs as the Verizon SCH I535. im gonna get and SCH R530 by friday and see what magic i create to get it working on 850/1900mhz gsm/edge. if anyone has info on this to help, plz do share.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
Might want to look in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29640360

They both support CDMA, but I'm not sure whether or not the i535 and the r530 share the same hardware. Is there some info posted somewhere about that? If that is the case, then the i535 may support AWS LTE.

Samsung Simple Update Tool

You can download Samsung Simple Update tool for your specific phone. Install it on your windows computer, run it, and follow the onscreen directions. BTW pay no attention to the error msg about drivers that you get when installing the tool. When you use the tool, and connect your phone via usb cable, they will then install properly.

Google search "samsung jelly bean simple upgrade tool" and go to first site that mentions the simple upgrade tool in its listing.

BTW, this will unroot your phone, but won't increment your flash counter. Whatever your flash counter was before, is what it will be after flashing with this tool.

Hope this helps. Let me know if this works. I have a specific URL, but this forum won't let noobs post urls. You can send me a msg.

Hello guys. Have read a million threads over the web for making my Us Cellular SCH-R530u run on Gsm network... have not yet succeeded! Instead of getting a signal icon i get a blocking one and cant remove it! tried everything, on 4.1.1 stock jb rom here. install as system app apn, titanium backup and app info! everything says ok but the icon stills remains!

What else can i do? Please help me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wakkakai:
Recently got a SCH-R530u and am trying to network unlock it for use on the ATT network.

After enabling the hidden menu and typing in the number to get to that menu I followed the instructions over in this guide.

However, once i get to network lock, there are no options. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ramdesai:
Which android version are you on? I think the options will be available on jellybean and not on ics.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wakkakai:
I have gone through 4.0.1 / 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.

I did not put a sim card in as my current att card is too large. Do I need the sim to unlock it?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HypostaticOnion:
Probably. Otherwise it wouldn't see a need to unlock.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wakkakai:
Well my reasoning was:

My current sim card is too big.. (Darn!)

See if i can unlock it.

Then get a new sim card..

Learned that I could trim down my sim card to fit into the S3 sim slot. Still no options under network lock.

Tried to follow this guide, but i could not change anything on step B3

I tried following this guide that leads to this guide, but the odin program fails to write the image.

Not sure what you mean but the USC S3 is a CDMA phone. The sim card is just for 4G access. Putting another providers sim in the device will do nothing.

1st how can we do a SCRTN or RTN? (i really need to do this)

2nd is there anyway possible to unlock sim?

alot of ppl here know how to use tools like dfs (which does work) because you can get into ##366633#

qpst couldnt find the port

if i add to buildprop

ro.sales_code=LOL

ro.csc.sales_code=LOL

then i can do *#0011# but cant get past the main screen but i can get in. also some other stupid dailer codes work which normally didnt before i did that

why cant we flash twrp/cwmr then flash a whole rom that is older then MJA.? is it aboot that stops it?

i just would love to have sim unlock working on this phone (somehow or someway).

alot of us are pretty advanced in here and can follow some basic rough draft of what needs to be done and get it done without being spoon fed

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonttuv:
Hello! Does the flash counter rise when you install a rom from recovery? Kinda dump question, but i need to know!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemo23:
Yes the flash counter rises when you flash via recovery you can use a custom kernel and the tringle away app from chainfire will reset your flash counter after you have flashed a rom. Simply after you flashed a rom install a custom kernel and then use the tringle away apk to get rid of the flash counter..

You can also get rid of your flash counter by using odin to flash your stock rom back..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
WOW! That was completely inaccurate! No! Flashing in recovery does NOT increase your binary counter! Flashing via MobileODIN does NOT increase your binary counter! Only flashing non-stock builds via PC ODIN will increase your counter. Furthermore, if you have tripped your counter, going back to stock will NOT reset it. The only way you can currently reset a counter is with Triangle Away.

So anyway, just don't flash custom ROMs from PC ODIN, and you won't trip your counter. Flashing from recovery is fine!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemo23:
Is that why everytime i flash a custom rom via recovery i have 1 next to my counter?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
If your counter is tripping everytime you use recovery to flash, either you're doing something wrong or your handset is frakked! Either way, the information you posted was grossly inaccurate. Good day!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdave12118:
Edit. Stopped driving.

Woops. Just hit a deer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Completely inaccurate.

Flashing via Odin will raise your flash counter, mobile Odin doesn't and neither does cwm.

Flashing to stock via Odin will NOT revert your flash counter to 0, it will only remove the modified status from system info under settings.

Triangle away will revert the flash counter to 0.

The 1 is there from when you flashed a custom kernel via Odin/cf root via Odin.

If cwm was tripping it every time it wouldn't be at 1, it would increase.

Edit: I just realised everything I said has already been said. Either way it still stands.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00moo:
Wow you sounded so sure of yourself it almost made me believe you. I was thinking why do i bother using Triangle away when I could just flash stock rom lol

Anyways what the rest say is true. The only real time your counter will increase if when you first flash a recovery or rom via Odin on pc. After that if you stick to using CWM it will remain the same, wether that be on ZERO or anything else. Triangle away will reset that for you :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonttuv:
So how dangerous is Triangle Away

Okay, thank for everyone of you, but how dangerous it is to use triangle away. I got it in my phone but haven't used it yet.

I bought one of the X designs shows in the various colors on the previous page. I bought it from Amazon in black. Coupled with a SP this maybe all that I need.

Hello,

I'd like to buy me a new pair of headphones (not in ear phones). I'd like this to have a mic and 3 buttons compatible with my Samsung Galaxy s2. It would be nice if it will be also compatible with other phones.

I've already looked the different Monster Beats model (nice design but performance/price not so interessing), and some other Headphones.

basing on your experience, which headphone should i pick?

I like Skull Candy. Am a big fan of earbud styles, and these are the most comfortable I've tried of that kind and come with 3 sizes of buds to customize if you need to. Good price point. Many models also have a volume control for the headphone on the cord line - something I always look for. And I find they have good bass to boot. :) Just my opinion though.
