[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Right, and that's where the confusion came from. ST was expected to be with Sprint forums, but the SCH, made people think it was Verizon (and a few thought T-Mobile since ST uses their towers in some places apparently). I was just trying to point out that we can't always go by the prefix in the model number anymore. Why they did this.....I wish I knew!

So when they were updated to JB are you saying it skipped 4.1.1? Sorry if I'm getting myself confused or misunderstanding you.

And I'd have to look, but I thought the unlock worked for ics too. But I could be wrong.

Also POSSIBLE, but not recommended, is flashing another models radio. Most of the S3's have the same partition layout. I know several that have flashed other radios w/o bricking. It didn't work, but it didn't hurt anything either. Could it be possible to do this just to unlock, then go back to stock radio?

For example, AT&T users and T-Mobile users have tried each other's radios. All T999 variants can safely flash each other's radios too. They may not work at all, or only partially, but they were able to simply reflash their correct ones. This makes me think that as a last resort it could be attempted. I do not and will not recommend it since I know next to nothing about the 530, but figured I'd throw it out there in case anyone wants to look into it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gypsy214:
Im confuse isnt it that a CDMA model? Would it actually work with tmobile? Using the global phone hack might help but im not sure.

Also Cricket seems to have similar devices as metropcs. Same hardware too?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Its the exact same hardware between the two from looking online. And yes its a CDMA phone but to my surprise it has GSM support up to and including HSPA on AWS and LTE!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
No kidding?!?

So this is like the mother of all gs3's with the ability to function on just about any network?

Now why couldn't they have just done that in the first place?! (No, you don't need to actually answer that!)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
The Us Cellular version actually supports more bands than the Cricket version...

Cricket: Frequencies and Data Type: LTE Dual-band: Band 2 (1900MHz), Band 4 (AWS); CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev A, Tri-band: 800/AWS/1900MHz*

Us Cellular: Frequencies and Data Type: LTE Quad-band : Band 2 (1900MHz), Band 4 (AWS), Band 5 (850MHz), Band 12 (700MHz) CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev A, Tri-band : 800/AWS/1900MHz*

We got ripped for sure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gypsy214:
I wish one day they will just sale you one hardware with all carriers bands enable and none carrier branded. LTE phones now days uses a sim card to get data and works with calls too. Make it like international here in the us. Buy a phone and your free to use it on any carrier lmao. One hardware for all. No more difference between the international and us. Now newer devices are like that. Like the htc one and the s4 but we still need carrier approval for updates. Also I dont see why carriers have to put bloatware on phones when you can get them on the play store.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
The biggest issue is all the different frequencies in use... And its going to get worse with the 600 spectrum sale. There are an insane amount of bands and technologies in use.

And then there are companies like Verizon that are anti-consumer... That's not going anywhere.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the S4 was the same as the S3 regarding international vs US. I heard its more compatible between US versions, but not with international since it once again gets the best processor (Exynos octo core) while we get the Qualcomm quad core one. This time we don't even get more memory. Still 2GB.

The international also uses a different graphics processor. Not sure if it's better, but it is different.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

Just saw this and thought I'd share. A newer S4.

http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSBRE95G05I20130617?irpc=932
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
The US and most of the world are all on Qualcomm chips in the S4. Korea got the Exynos as did most of Africa and Asia in general while the US, Canada, and Europe all got Qualcomm.

That new S4 would be perfect for T-Mobile once they have lit up full LTE since they're deploying LTE-Advanced out the gate.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
ok, I wasn't sure about that, thanks for clarifying it. It's no wonder sales aren't meeting expectations. It's basically the international S3 with US memory! (I know there's more to it, but when you really simplify it....)

I was thinking the same on the new S4. Don't see any indication one way or another if T-Mobile will actually get it though. And oh how I hope we do!

I can potentially see many unhappy original S4 buyers soon! (Look how upset some are over the T999L!)

I'll leave it there on my end, seeing as we are now just a little bit off topic!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gypsy214:
Yeah like I said before.. The US GS4 being able to flash roms from the International is a huge + for me.

How about that iPhone? I always heard that it supports all global bands? If Samsung didnt had several different hardware between the phones like for international and us. It would be easier for them to push updates. And be cheaper for them too.. Not having to work on several hardware difference for an update. Maybe they got that idea and started to make the phones with same hardware like the S4.. I was waiting for fathers day to see if tmobile would have an offer for the s4 and they didnt :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
T-Mobile's "offer" for the iPhone 5 wasn't even really an offer anyway - its all based on their trade in program now. But they did slash 50 bucks off the S4 until 7/30 when it goes back to 149 down and 20 a month.

As for the iPhone being global, didn't they have some super custom crazy modem made for that though?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gypsy214:
I dont know but they probably do since they make their own processor. Talking about bands on the s3 seems looks like samsung did it to the s4 too. I noticed that tmobile s4 have more lte and hspa+ bands than that att model.

I dont see why they would do that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Quite simply, the carriers have bands that they don't use locked down to prevent their customers from having an easy migration path to another carrier should they choose to leave - a practice that should be outright illegal but isn't.

A perfect example is Google locking down LTE in the Nexus 4. Although I think that more had to do with the fact that it would have caused massive customer confusion (ie., at&t customers pissed they couldn't have LTE and T-Mobile could) but the point remains that the baseband is programmable.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
One of the primary reasons for the different hw between international and US versions was supply.

The demand was so large they wouldn't have been able to manufacture enough SoC's. I can totally buy this for the S3, but not so sure on the S4. Sammy has extended their manufacturing capabilities since then and the S4 isn't in as high demand as the S3 was. The only thing I can think of is that since its only been a year, they may not have completed their expansion...

That's just a guess though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Well the S4 is a new SoC altogether from the S3... its the first big.LITTLE architecture (4 low-power and 4 high power cores) chip to make it to market so its understandable that they wouldn't be able to produce enough of them. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/XDA-Big.LITTLE-Kernel-Exynos-5,22420.html

If they would have used the Exynos 4, it would have been torn to shreds by the Qualcomm chips so it made sense for them to launch Qualcomm and Exynos 5 together but in entirely different markets. And last I heard they were having overheating problems with the octas anyway so really Qualcomm-based devices get the advantage anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KunoMochi:
I just want to confirm that quote. Downgraded back to a 4.1.1 modem and all the necessary options appeared.

After the procedure, updated back to 4.1.2 modem and tested out another SIM on a different carrier. Made a call and had a successful unlock. :)

Just putting things a bit back on topic. :P

Sent from my WHAT!?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sofwhitewolf:
Don't mean to revive the thread nor post in the wrong section but this seems to be the closest success to what I am wanting to do. I have the sch-r530u and from another thread I followed steps to root and then flash a aokp 4.1.2 ROM. I then tried the same *#197328640# to get to the menu but it does nothing. before flashing and rooting I was on 4.1.2, do I need to flash radio back to 4.1.1?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You will need to be using the stock dialer first of all.

But yes downgrading your modem should do the trick.

If this is a sprint phone you are asking about though, you need to only flash stuff from that forum. Modems from here won't work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sofwhitewolf:
This is a us cellular S3, what do you mean stock dialer? And also would I have to do anything to the rom, or just find a way to flash the 4.1.1 radio?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You said you flashed an aokp rom so it won't work. It has to be done from the stock TouchWiz dialer.

Also, to reduce chances of messing something up, and because all others with your model should be there to help, you need to only use stuff from the Sprint forum.

Also, I do not know if this unlock method will work for your phone. But if it does you'd need to downgrade your modem. So yes, a 4.1.1 modem would be a downgrade from 4.1.2.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 PM ----------

Ok, I think I misread something at first. You flashed a 4.1.2 rom. So your radio should still be 4.1.1 as there is no 4.1.2 firmware for your device that I'm aware of.

The fact that your model has the u at the end may actually mean there is no firmware update yet, period. This is why you should post in the Sprint area. Theyll be able to tell you a lot more than anyone here can.

Anyway, if yours is one of the recently released s3's that shipped with 4.1.2 tw, then you may be outta luck on the unlock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Just out of curiosity... I know that radio functions won't work if you flash a radio from another variant but what about restoring ServiceMode functionality such as the unlock?

Also, that code works on the TouchWiz dialer on any variant with any radio. If it isn't working on the ROM you are using, something is broken.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I've been curious to find out for sure myself. Do you need to be connected to tmobiles network with a tmobile sim?

And he said he flashed an aokp rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sofwhitewolf:
So the u at the end means US Cellular. When I first got the phone it was used, yes but at 4.1.2 non rooted. I then rooted it and put it on AOKP 4.1.2. Then put it back to 4.1.1 stock with root. I was able to get to the menu system in 4.1.1 but not 4.1.2, I read somewhere that it had been patched. So even thos its USC, sprint forums would know more?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The SCH-R530 and R530U are both us cellular as far as I can tell.

So either you have a new variant (im guessing), or you got it with a 4.1.2 rom loaded on it. (This would mean the base firmware and modem are still 4.1.1.)

As i understand it, 99% of all phones that have the SCH prefix belong to the sprint forums because they are cdma phones. (There was only one I've ever seen was different. It was cdma but used verizon towers and was more closely related to theirs).

One major reason I dont know if the unlock you found here will work is because it is for gsm phones. Your phone operates on a different network technology than ours.

The only thing I am fairly sure of is yours is cdma and some things here will not work for your phone. That and very few people, if any, here will be able to answer all your questions.

I just did a fairly in depth search for you. The only references I found to your model were in sprint forums. You won't find much though so you're probably better off going google for your info.

I wish you luck with it, and again, ask in the sprint forums and don't flash anything you find here unless it specifically says its compatible. Sorry I can't help you more.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mehyderabadi:
hi. i am having S3 T999L...and my phone is network lock. And since it is 4.1.2 can i downgrade it to 4.1.1 ?

And if Yes...can someone show me the whole procedure please and also provide me the links of the files i need to downgrade.

Thanks in Advance.

I will be really thankful
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
All you need to do is flash a modem from 4.1.1. Link to thread is in my sig.

Flash UVDLJC modem for example, follow unlock instructions, then flash the UVAMB7 modem to get your connection back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oldphone6700:
Just flash modem did not work for me. I have a T999L rooted running Stock ROM. I tried 3 modems from 4.1.1, UVDLJC, UVDLJA, and UVDLI8. I could get to service mode but there was no menu on the screen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
And you are using the Stock dialer, no mods?

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

I just PM'd a guy who says it worked for him. He posted several pages back in the T999L Info thread. Member name was AquaWater if you want to look at his post.

It does sound like he may have just entered the options blind with no menu, using a youtube video as a guide. Hopefully he can shed more light on it for us. But it may be something you can try while we wait to hear back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oldphone6700:
Yes, Stock dialer. I do get the service mode menu when using UVAMB7 or UVAME4.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dragonhart6505:
also have been working to try and unlock this, but turns out there is no luck. Baseband Version shows Unknown and the Service Menu is just a blank page. bought a code but been waiting like 4 hours. grrrr
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TechShui:
Modem Disappeared?

Where is this elusive modem for the 4.1.1 baseband?

I've searched everywhere I can't even find a stock ROM! :silly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
All modems are stickied in the development forum. But if you have an R530 like the op, you need to be in sprints forum. And if you've updated to 4.3, you cannot downgrade. The older modem will not work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josefromstatefarm:
The other day I received a pair of plantronics backbeat GO earphones which are Bluetooth earphones. When I got these I tried to use them with my rooted nexus 7 and they paired and connected to the device fine but will not output any sound except for the connecting and disconnecting sounds the earphones make by themselves. So I was wondering if they just are not compatible with my device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
They should be, bluetooth devices such as headsets or headphones are pretty universal. Need more details to figure out why they're not working.

Yeah I figured they should be compatible but unfortunately I haven't been able to test the earphones out on anything else, I am unsure as my nexus is rooted and I have installed the beats audio drivers which may have disabled the Bluetooth function but I am unsure because I don't have much experience with android
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josefromstatefarm:

Wiping should definitely work, but you'll have to restore files and settings somehow.

If you're an Android developer, but may want to check the logcat output and see why the apps crash. Maybe it's just a permissions problem (could be solved by CWM) or so.
