[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Nightstalker1993:
Well, from all the threads talking about downgrading in order to unlock, all of them said you don't have to flash the whole firmware, just the baseband would be enough. And how exactly do you flash it in ODIN? The baseband file is in .zip, though if you unzip it, there is a .bin file inside. Do I flash that? And which option do i choose in ODIN? Is it under 'Phone'?

Honestly saying, it's so hard to search for a guide on how to flash a baseband over.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes its possible to unlock by just baseband downgrade. That is IF you have Touchwiz already. Otherwise unlock process won't work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Nightstalker1993:
Touchwiz? Isn't that the stock Samsung UI? Well, this unit is totally 100% stock, until I rooted it and installed TWRP...

So, what am I doing wrong that I can't downgrade my baseband?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] drago10029:
I just read that same thread you linked and they all clearly have firmware versions (4.1.2....4.3) indicated near the different modems. Read carefully my friend before flashing anything! Make sure you match them up properly and just a safety tip if you're going to be flashing firmware you should reading up on the different bootloaders. Just trying to save you phone friend.

Please hit the thanks button if this helped.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Nightstalker1993:
So what do people mean when they say you only need to downgrade your bootloader and not the firmware if you want to unlock the phone? I've read alot and people had been mixing and matching basebands with different firmwares and as far as I know, it doesn't cause any problems. Unless my understanding of basebands and firmwares are wrong. Do correct me if so. I'm new to Samsung systems, previously tinkered around with Motorola and HTC but this is the first time I've played with a Samsung.

The final question would be, how exactly do you unlock the T999V?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] drago10029:
I can't say for sure but I unlocked a i747 2 days ago, which is the AT&T GS3 variant. I had to downgrade the phone from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 and then follow these instructions and it worked.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTqCO4SVJJU

I assume the same for T999 So I suggest finding 4.1.1 stock ROM which will include the 4.1.1. baseband. and as far as downgrading software I read flashing older stock ROM might downgrade the bootloader (different from ROM and baseband aka modem aka radio), while I don't own a T999V I've been reading to avoid downgrading because of bootloader's, I don't know a workaround though.

You gonna have to do a lot of reading nightstalker! I hope you get the answers you need, let me know if I can help further.

Hit thanks if this has helped!!

You seem more T999 knowledgable than myself. How can this poor fellow unlock?

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Sorry I missed this! just flash the zip file using TWRP. and keep the zip as it is. Hopefully that should fix you up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Well, the way I see it, you need to downgrade the Modem AKA Baseband AKA Radio Firmware from the one for JB 4.2.x to 4.1.1 or bellow. Unfortunately OP has a Videotron variant of the S3. Given that this is Unlock process, you do not need to downgrade your Bootloader. Moreover, since you are on 4.3, any attempt to downgrade the bootloader will result in hard brick

Wait a minute. I forgot to ask. What kind of Windows do you have ? Win 7 or 8 ? Any chance you could use a XP or Vista machine to do this ?

In addition, I don't know if I spelled out, but take only the latest version of either TWRP or CWM Recovery. Flash it via Odin. Flash the Modem Zips via custom recovery only.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Nightstalker1993:
I'm using a Wind variant of the S3, T999V. That's exactly what I'm trying to do!!! Downgrade the baseband to 4.1.1 so I can unlock the phone, but I can't! I installed TWRP 2.5.0.0. Not the latest, but apparently the most stable and of course I installed it via ODIN and the modem ZIP are flashed via TWRP recovery.

Back to square one, the problem is after flashing the 4.1.1 baseband, it shows BASEBAND UNKNOWN and when you enter the code, nothing shows up. My problem is that I can't seem to successfully flash the baseband over!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dorian2kx:
Hey guys just a quick curious question, what exactly is the bootloader
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
For some weird reason, your phone doesn't seem to like older Modems. Maybe its the new bootloader or may be its something else. Difficult to say.

Here you go.

Thanks for hijacking the thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marty136:
You can't downgrade once you've installed 4.3 because of new bootloader and knox that was installed with it, I have been to heaven and hell to downgrade mine because i was having big problems with T999VVLUEMK5 but after hardbricking mine trying to do so, i de-hardbricked it with a debrick image 4.3 created by a xda member here, i successfully installed the new T999VVLUEML2 and now phone works perfectly. So people who say it is easy to downgrade from the locked 4.3 bootloader must be very good cause i sent mine to repair shop and they said it was impossible at the time(mid december 2013).

My two cents
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I believe he's trying to downgrade the Baseband AKA Modem. I don't think he wants to downgrade the Bootloader. Unfortunately both are identically named so easy to confuse.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Nightstalker1993:
Seems like I have no choice but to pay for the unlock. So with 4.3 and the new bootloader which includes the KNOX protection, downgrading is pretty much a ***** eh. So in the end how did you managed to downgrade it? If you did in the end that is...

I'm guessing the 4.3 official OTA update updates the bootloader and firmware as well and the new bootloader doesn't support basebands from earlier builds? Not too sure, making a random guess here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes that seems to be the case. I thought it was unlikely but your experience says otherwise.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marty136:
That is what i think exactly. By the way i did not succeed in downgrading it, i was simply lucky that samsung released a small update for the s3 during the long time that i worked on this problem and now it runs perfect with new version. Someone on another forum suggested to just go with a custom rom and it would be fine, beleive me i tried, failing at every attempt i don't thing some people understand the reel ramifications of this new bootloader that won't let you do what you want anymore. This is the new more ''secure'' android that samsung concocted for us small people.:silly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Nightstalker1993:
So looks like I can't downgrade just the baseband itself from 4.3 and also downgrading the whole firmware to something other than a 4.3 is hopeless as well eh due to the new bootloader even if it's a custom rom? If custom roms will work then I don't mind flashing a custom rom as well, but reading Marty's experience kinda makes me scared in downgrading.... :crying:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Oh Custom AOSP Roms will work just fine. Custom Kernels as well.

Take care and read if using Modified Touchwiz Roms.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Nightstalker1993:
Oh wait, i forgot. The unlock exploit only works on stock 4.1.1 firmware/baseband. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vinurohitraj:
After the latest android update on Sony Xperia Z Ultra (from India), the MOVIES app has become very slow

I had the same list of videos, when it was on 4.2.2. The app was always snappy and have noticed no lag.

The issues were noticeable, post 4.3 update on Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Tried everything like 'Clear Cache', 'Clear app data' etc :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Works just fine here. No lag or slowdowns. Not sure what the issue might be.

Well okay, I'm on the same R4B-Customization update and I have no lags or slowdowns whatsoever. But I've noticed that the app crashes whenever I try to change the screen orientation while a video is being played.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoorpheusS:
Was using CyanogenMod 11 (unofficial) for several days and everything was working perfectly, but yesterday I could no longer install apps using the phone because the "INSTALL" button does not work. When installing via the pc everything runs normally.

Touchscreen is normal, rebooted the phone several times, cleaned dalvik cache and the problem persists.

Anyone have tips? I changed some setting I should not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] basisforbart:
I had this issue and I just reflashed gapps in recovery and it fixed the problem. Hope that helps if not I would just reflash the rom after doing a data wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoorpheusS:
I solved the problem disabling the application Screen Filter Pro. When it is active I can not press the install button but when it is turned off the button works normally! :good:

But I need some opinions on this..

Its too cheap in my opinion... But problem is that here is same model on the page, but more expensive... See. - second link...

On the first one, there are no feedback, but maybe there will be in several days, because its sold from 31.12...

And also - there are 2 discriptions.. One is without GSM.. so I am thinking wont I have problem in Europe with this??? (But on the secont description its here)...

[HTC Tornado] ciaran:
Hello, first post here - hope I'm in the right place!

I've ordered an Imate SP5 and it should be arriving Monday or Tuesday. I was hoping to have some stuff ready to install on it for when I got it.

What's the first thing I should do? Should I try and update it to the latest ROM that everyones talking about?

I'm very interested in the Wifi feature but I keep reading how people are being connected to GPRS by mistake. I hope to use both GPRS and WIFI but would really like a good way to switch between them - is there some tweaks I can put in place?

Wireless Networks - so I might be using my home network, and then my work one. Can the device store multiple profiles (passwords, ssids, etc) for the different networks so I can just select one? Or do I need a 3rd party app? Does such an app exist?

Things like MSN etc ... will they stay logged in via GPRS if I take a call or send a text? Will they stay logged in via Wifi if I take a call or send a text?

WM5 for PDAs and WM5 for smartphones - will the same applications work across them? Also, if it works on one WM5 smartphone, will it work on another?

Cheers for your time!
[HTC Tornado] radeon_x:
Congrats!

There is no official ROM update for the SP5 - yet. Your phone will have the newest ROM already loaded. I believe there is a leaked one floating around out there, but unless you absolutely can't wait for push email I would say hold off until the official version.

In my experience, if there is WiFi signal and you have connected properly (meaning entered the right network key, if applicable) the phone will always use WiFi and not try to connect to GPRS. In my experience this has worked flawlessly and I use WiFi a lot.

Yes the phone supports multiple profiles.

Using GPRS, no they will not necessarily stay connected if you take a call (not sure about texts). Using WiFi, yes, that connection remains open if you take a call.

In some cases this is true. For example, some have managed to install Skype for Pocket PC on Smartphones. The underlying operating system is the same, it's just the interface (touchscreen vs not) that is the key (but not only) difference. A tool called FakeCursor for smartphone supposedly allows one to simulate the pocket PC pen, however I have never tried it. Long story short: In most cases pocket pc software just isn't usable on smartphones. I'm not sure about the other way around.
[HTC Tornado] ciaran:
Right, now that I have it I have more questions!

I'm having some issues connecting to my home wifi...

my router says:

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

WEP Encryption Type

128bit encryption

Select key generation method

Passphrase MYNETWORKKEY

Keys generated by this Passphrase:

Active

Transmit Key

Key 1:	D5 CF 34 DD DB 94 3F 79 D4 A7 B4 44 B6

On my device I select:

Authentication open/shared (have tried both)

data encryption WEP

networkkey MYNETWORKKEY

It tells me the key is invalid?

EDIT:

It only seems to work when I enter "D5 CF 34 DD DB 94 3F 79 D4 A7 B4 44 B6" and not when I enter "MYNETWORKKEY" ? Anyway around this ?
[HTC Tornado] ppreece:
passphrases generate keys for different strengths of wep.

tkip encryption (which you'll need both ends) uses passphrases on their own, this may be a better option for you.

regardless the network key is saved as a profile for the aps you are using.
[HTC Tornado] ciaran:
Will try that out later on - my routers being troublesome at the moment.

Is the Imate SP5 like a XDA in that you loose all your info when the battery goes? Or will it retain the data ?
[HTC Tornado] ciaran:
It seems Word & Excel are missing from the SP5. From what I read they're on the SP5m ?

Anyway to get them on my device?
