***The Unofficial Samsung Galaxy S III LTE (I9305) Thread***

It's weird! Don't know why rooting would cause so many problems! It was much easier to root/customize with my old xperia play!
Doesn't seem to be a lot of traffic on these forums for the LTE version of these phones. Can I check with you guys though as I really fancy getting one of these:
- I plan on using it with my 3 PAYG sim (I love 3 as I seem to get awesome speeds compared to T-Mobile)
- BUT I plan on buying a phone that's currently locked to T-Mobile.
Can I use Stoosh's guide to simply unlock my phone and use my 3 SIM in that superfast 3g mode until 3 roll out 4g later this year for free (and then the LTE portion of this phone will kick in)?
Also, do Samsung keep the official firmware releases of firmware for both the standard 3G and LTE versions of these phones current?

Hi i got a 2nd hand 6 month old one for £240 on the bay. It was 4.1.2 so I rooted and downloaded official firmware to 4.1.1 so that I could sim unlock it using that guide. (The guide doesn't work for 4.1.2 btw.)
Now I haven't done anything I'm sitting here using 4.1.1 official...Does anyone have any recommendations for custom roms?
I've heard that cyanogenmod is good, but does anyone have the link to the added good stuff that the mod includes? ta

that unlock guide worked on my custom 4.1.2 ROM (Pandoriam 5.7).
That ROM is what I'm still using now and it's done me well. Lots of tweaks.

Hi i'm using the sentinel rom atm.
Just a side note, was @ Cromwell Road in London and noticed a nice little "DC" symbol on my internet icon - dual channel i presume.
I'm on the talktalk mobile network, which piggybacks off vodafone i think. Does anyone else know of vodafone's DC areas?

I just thought I'd drag this thread up from the forum mine
After seeing adverts that EE have doubled their 4G speeds I did a quick test in London today...
47657 down and 31681 up, not to bad at all
I was very impressed when my colleagure did a speedtest yesterday. 50/25Mbps.
They just need to lower prices and make it unlimited data
I'll be sticking to my custom 4.1.2. ROM
4.3 will break compatibility with the Vertumus AOSP theme.
I'm still running ripper 18.5 with vertumus & jkay, I'll think about 4.3 when it offers something new
