OP Updated!!!

I have updated the OP with a little more information and tried to make a few things more clear. I am open to suggestions if anyone thinks I have left something out, or if anything was more confusing than clarifying.

I will try to use Post #2 tomorrow to add instructions on how to return to stock using the currently available items. The Odin flashable firmware is right around the corner. I think we are very close to having that one done!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LoopDoGG79:
There's your answer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ohshootrawr:
Yeah I posted that before he made the edit x3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LoopDoGG79:
Um, that is not the OP of Doc I quoted. It was a post he made yesterday. It was there, unchanged, since yesterday.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ohshootrawr:
Derp. Sorry, I use xda from my phone, I probably just scrolled right past it. I might have to go back to touchwiz then.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
I talked to sammy again today and they again confirmed the multi-window update for thd T999L, HOWEVER I also spoke with T-Mobile teir 2 tech support today who claims the stock firmware of 4.1.2 (jellybean) is the update for the T999L and should already include multi-window, and that they have no information about any upcoming OTA's. When I explained to the tier two support technician that the device was shipped with 4.1.2 he was totally dumbfounded, It would be kinda nice if a tech could actually answer technical questions.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] effortless:
Can we flash the modem and rom on an ATT S3? are they the same?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KingKostas:
If u flash the modem you will most likely brick / or lose connection. Don't do it. Only flash the ROM but I'm not sure if this one has the modem with it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] effortless:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771021 that's the reason I ask. I've been using those leaked TMO files that flash to an ATT S3 and it enables AWS 1700 and works with TMO LTE. I was just looking for a newer radio.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Have you tried long pressing the back button? (I think thats how you activate multiwindow)

In my experience, most (not all) T-Mobile techs (at any tier and including supervisors) dont know jack! Only what the screen tells em!

I wouldnt try it. The rom doesnt work on my T999 (still need a T999L user to test) so it may/may not have turned out to be a bad build.

The modem, I just wouldnt chance it. It probably wouldnt brick as im fairly sure it lives on the same partition (mmcblk0p1), but id be surprised if it worked at all.

If you do try either one, let us know what happens!

And if anyones worried about the rom, it shouldnt brick, it simply just hung during boot for me. I was able to flash right back to stock. (If I thought it would brick it wouldnt be up)

I am going to rebuild and try again on my s3 shortly using a different method. So ill keep you guys posted on that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
yeah, i tried, the end verdict for the T999L at this point is no Multi-Window support, i may go ahead and reset to full stock, and see if the update shows as available, i doubt it, but sammy did say it wasn't really a firmware upgrade it was more of a patch. I'm just guessing here, but based on how the OS has progressed from day one it would still show as an update such as moving from Jelly Bean 4.1.2 to some other variant of Jelly Bean depending on the manufacturer, if it was a Moto Device i could easily believe that they would release it as 4.1.2-2 as thats pretty common for Moto and that would explain why the tech couldn't make heads or tails of whether or not there was an update for the T999L, but i would think that sammy would release it as 4.2.1 i will reset to stock unrooted sometime this weekend if i get a chance and report back what i find, come to think of it "just in high hopes here" the day i rooted the device is the day my wife made the comment that she got the update, so we might just might have a new version of firmware to play with already, doubt it though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The way Sammy works, it will most likely still be version 4.1.2. Unless you T999L folks start getting the updates first! But as an example, we had multiple releases of 4.0.4 and 4.1.1. There were differences between each update of course, but they werent always enough to bring it to a new version of android. Hope that makes sense!

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]: I believe I know why the ROM didnt work for me and other T999 users. Dont have time to get into it right now, but I am removing the link . I will update later as I am in a bit of a rush. I just wanted to let you know why the link will be gone before I have to leave.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tower_gilead:
I still love you Doc even though I don't have a 999L. (In the hetero nerd way)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
Doc doesn't have one either, its mine, all mine. Lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tower_gilead:
OK Motomoto.... let's talk about it. You have the 99L and it is clear that I do not. So, what are the differences beyond the actual modem chip in the two devices and why should I get one? Are you in an LTE enabled area or not? Do you like mushrooms? I don't. Let's talk about it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
No, sadly DFW does not have LTE yet, I like some kinds of mushrooms, and the only difference at this point in the game is the modem, and possibly the bootloader if you were able to take the update to 4.1.2 you have multi-window and I do not :( if you are willing to learn how to edit build.props then I don't see much of a reason for you to buy one. Unless you get a killer deal on one.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
I stand corrected, way to go doc, this should make all of this go a little faster!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Now if only I could get my daughter to sleep faster!

This is a 90% working build of MB7 on my T999!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ndwgs:
Niiicceeeee

Any different than MD5, Doc?

Please Generalize This: ZFFZ
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
A little bit. Haven't had time to do much else yet. I've got my daughter this weekend so unless she's sleeping or at her friends house, I can't do a whole lot at once. Usually just a post or two here and there.

Anyway, gonna try to hammer out the kinks in this tonight. Shouldn't be too bad though. Just thought I'd give an update on where I'm at with it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ndwgs:
Take your time Doc! Glad you knew what was wrong with it

Please Generalize This: ZFFZ
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Thanks for the work, but it can wait, spend time with your girl.

On a side note (when you have time to think about it), is there a way to look in to i9300 ROMs since it has LTE too?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What exactly do you mean by look into the roms? I wouldn't mess with them at all. They are just too different and often cause nothing but problems.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
I mean look in to porting those ROMS/modem/etc. I was assuming that it would be very similar to this phone.

EDIT: Forgot about the different CPU, nevermind.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mxlab:
You need to start from the Motodefier rom dump and up, I'm on a proyect of making a cosmetics app. If not werw for that and my procrastination time I would make a port on rom kitchen but I mean you'll only need few extras like power button screenshots etc build.prop editing is much hard to find for good extra commands on this cpu. But I removed almost all T-Mobile crap. And rooted using motochopper replaced the superuser with the one on playstore

Updated the binary and have not had a single issue since.

Also if anyone wants to come and develop with me on my proyect they are welcome pm and I'll give you details oc what's about.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Unfortunately I believe it'll be more of a hassle than its worth. Theres really no benefit over what we've already got anyway. At least that I'm aware of. And as for modems, the only way to really do anything with them is to reverse engineer them. And I'm not quite at that level.

Aside from that, modems usually need to stay carrier specific.

And keep in mind if it were easy and there was great benefit, wed already be seeing more of them in development.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yall need to read my baseband thread!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
I'm curious about the basebands as well... The I747 can already access UMTS, HSPA+, and LTE on AWS using an engineering modem file - I really wonder if the I747 could use the T999L modem since its the same hardware... If I had an I747 lying around I'd test it but I don't.

Still probably not worth a brick but it does make me curious. It certainly didn't brick my Captivate but that was a Hummingbird device. I can't remember if I used Desire HD modems on my Inspire or not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It really shouldn't brick. Maybe not work. Only a couple of people have evrr reported bricks from flashing the modem of another s3.

I honestly just don't get how or why. But seeing as the claim has been made, I can't say it couldn't happen to you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Also, if I'm noy mistaken, atts lte and hspa operate on different frequencies than tmobiles. So I'm not sure how it would go in either direction anymore.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eterno13:
so..im a little confused....lte may workbon t999 or not?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
While they do operate on different frequencies every tmo phone I have had so far is capable of att's services as long as they are unlocked, the only problem I have seen is they are usually only compatible with one of att's frequencies which means you have the possibility of less coverage, or no internet in certain areas, not sure if att's phones have the same thing going or not, however I want to say tmo uses aws for LTE not sure what band att uses, but if its different then it won't matter the frequency it won't work properly, if at all.

I'm not sure if tmo offers carrier unlocking anymore since the federal government has declaired it illegal,(surely not) but they used to do it for free, if it was their phone, and your bill was in good standing as well as a history of you being a repeat subscriber.

Definatelty not, the hardware does not exist in the T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] athlonxp2300:
Att and T-Mobile use the same lte frequencies. I have been using my unlocked att i747 with T-Mobile lte and 3g, 4g in phoenix. It worked with all stock att, but now I am running T-Mobile stockorama with att i747 modem. The i747 doesn't have all the hspa+ frequencies for T-Mobile (no 1700 without old engineering modem) so if I go into an area that T-Mobile has not re-farmed and there is no lte then it is slow edge. It might be interesting to try T-Mobile t999L modem on i747. Not sure i'm that brave.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
I don't blame you a bit, I'm definately not that brave, this bad boy is my daily driver.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] agriff:
I flashed it on my I747. No danger. It just doesn't work. Got the Ghostbusters symbol where signal bar strength should be. Flashed the att modern back and all is well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
So the rom works, just not the modem, I expected that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Thanks for testing that.

I guess at&t users are stuck with the engineering set if they want UMTS, HSPA, and LTE on Band IV. Otherwise an at&t version will only give EDGE unless you're in a refarmed market in which case you will get HSPA+ 21.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] agriff:
I never flashed the ROM, just the modem, on top of stock UVDMD5 4.1.2 that I ported, myself, to work on i747. I'm downloading now. So, I'll report back when I know something of interest.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What rom are you about to try?

I removed the links in the op because they don't work.

I'm running on a fresh build now and so far it has zero problems. It just gives me problems when flashing. Once I've solved that it'll be up for everyone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sparkie6point0:
Thanks Doc for showing me the way to tell the difference between the 999 and the 999L.:D :good:

---------- Post added at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

I don't think I've seen this question answered in this thread, but suppose someone flashed a T999 ROM onto a T999L. Would that kill the LTE modem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] agriff:
I noticed the links weren't working, so sort of backtracked to your folder on Sourceforge and found them. :) So, you're saying it's not worth flashing, as it is, even on an att i747?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
No it would not. Just make sure not to flash a T999 radio to the T999L
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Nope. It will not boot. Hangs st splash screen. Its solved though and I believe I've solved my script issues. Bout to flash now.

And just a side note, anytime a link is missing or disabled, ask first. There is almost always a reason the dev decided to remove it. Its just a good way to find yourself bricked. (I've seen it happen to others in other areas).

Exactly this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Aaaaannnnnddddd....

We are in business!

Flash worked nearly perfectly! One tiny adjustment to the updater-script and she's ready to go!

Finally.....!!!

Thanks for your patience guys. Sorry it took a while.

Give me time to upload and then its all yours!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] k holley:
So I'm a little confused sorry if answers r there I have been reading.does this mean we can get lte on our t999 and if not what exactly does this mean?? Thanks in advance!

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

So this is mainly for t999l users to go back to stock sorry if I wasted devs time I guess I still had high hopes for enabling lte on our t999:'(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You can use the rom on your T999. So far its working fine for me. But it will not get you LTE, sorry. Its just not going to happen.

The main purpose was to get something stock for T999L users to go back to, but there is nothing wrong with the T999 using the rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] k holley:
So this will give us new options like that's on the T999L but just not LTE right what bout WiFi calling?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
OP Updated!!!

Hey guys! The link is now hot! Sorry I didnt get it up for you earlier. The upload was just way slow and I couldnt take it anymore! Fell asleep! Anyhow, I will have the StockRooted version up later, along with the Odin flashable version.

Let me know how things go with it!

See OP#2 for known bugs. I will have a few things up shortly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yes, for the most part though I haven't seen many differences.

Haven't tested WiFi calling yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ndwgs:
Doc, I would test this ROM badboy.. But alas I need my tether from phone. Once my interwebs is up, I'll flash this!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mxlab:
Ok now where the hell is my video call I have a galaxy grand and a mini s3 on the claro network both can video call but my T999l have no option to video call jus sms and regular calling. Is there a native way of enabling this option?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
No, there is not a native video call function for the T999L however if you have cwm ir twrp you should be able to sideload the package from one of your other devices, don't know what kind of problems you may have, but you could try it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tower_gilead:
not sure if it has been said already but it should be noted that flashing mb7 modem on t999 not only has no cell connection but *#0011* brings a blank screen so nothing can be edited and also all sounds as well as wifi calling is broken afterwards.

:D:D:D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yup, the modems been covered. Sorry, I thought I mentioned it in the op. Ill put it in later tonight.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tower_gilead:
oh yes. I knew you covered the modem I just dont remember reading anything about it killing sound and wifi calling.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
I'm sure you already have, but if not enable direct wifi in settings and see if that works, I had a phone a while back that did that for some odd reason.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tower_gilead:
Yeah that didn't work either but I've already switch back to the stock rooted ROM anyway. I think I'm about to go and have some words with T Mobile as I have only had this s3 for 3 months and I still owe them 21 more payments of $20 and I'm a little pissed about it.

Sent while sleeping in chair.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
You are actually only making $5 a month payments, because they give you a $15 a month discount on your service, at least that's what they did for me on my T999L check into it, aside from that if your having problems I would definitely exchange some word with them because when you drop that kind of money on a device you expect it to work. But if you don't remove su binaries and su.apk busybox and its symlinks you may get double charged for the device, of course you probably know this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tower_gilead:
nope..it's the full 20.. but my plan is also wicked bad ass.

T999LUAMB7 PDA.TAR for odin is ready for testing

Hey Doc i have the T999LUAMB7 PDA.TAR for Odin Ready for testing, just need somewhere to upload it, its about 120+ MB past my dev-host account.

:victory:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sorry, I've been gone ALL day! Ill pm you in a few on the odin file. Whats the total size of the .tar file? Size of it zipped?

And good news. Last night I think I solved some issues with the rom. Namely, wifi calling is fixed!

Also have a pure stock (except root) rom ready to go as well. Will post the links as soon as I get back to the house on my computer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
The batch file I'm using doesn't compress it as a tar since that's a linux format, it only creates it as a tar however it them allows you to 7z it through the script after it is actually compressed with 7zip it comes out to be 633MB that's the size with the included additional options of the cache.rfs and the modem.bin I can re run it without adding those and see what it comes out to, my guess is going to be around the 2-350MB range.if that's the case I can have it repackaged in about 10 minutes and zipped down I can also add an md5 if you want

But i've installed the deviant kernel and ktoonez kernel.

I remember on the stock kernel, i would get snapchat notifications but now I'm not getting them and just remember I flashed a kernel right before it started happening!

Is there a setting I need to change, or can I go back to the stock kernel?

I have read somewhere in the threads people having a problem with snapchat. I would just flash stock kernel and see if it fixes it...

Well that is the problem, there is no stock kernel zip you can just flash( at least none that I can find for the M919 ).

Hi All,

i sometimes use a GPS tracking app for when im out on my bike to track miles and stuff, last week for some reason it didnt work, then when i tried to use navigation a message across the bottom said something like SEARCHING FOR GPS and never changes or locks onto my position.

i havent changed anything that i can remember only installed new apps,

my phone is rooted and ive tried several new roms but none of them solve the GPS problem i have, ive read up and tried several solutions using apps to reset GPS and a patch that changed the GPS.conf file but to no avail.

could it have anything to do with an outdated radio ?? the details of my phone are

Rom SVHD1.61

Android 4.0.4

Sense 4.1

Baseband 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M

i know the radio version is the last part of the baseband and there is a newer one listed in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877295

the nearest to mine is dated 23rd June 2011 but the listed one has no letter U in the middle.

could someone please advise which radio will be safe to use as i dont want to brick my handset, and can i flash it using CWM as a zip like i do the roms or do i have to do it another way

thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azuelagomez:
I had the same problem as you, and I have tested some roms wotihout succes... I have also tried to flash a new radio, I did it two days ago and it also didn´t improve my gps so I still without it... the only thing that could say to you is that there is a post that show you how to improve the gps but it is by solding under the flash of the camera and it is hardware so i am not going to try it

good luck
