there isn't one so far but there is a thread that may be of interest to you:fingers-crossed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735482
Bell version is the same as AT&T regarding the hardware so it should be in the same forum.
Evantually everyone will realize that every SGH-I747M is the same and everything that works for one will work for the others. I have the first Galaxy S I9000m and I've flashed so much I9000 stuff you wouldn't believe it.
As long as the model number is the same the hardware is the same and you don't have to worry about carrier.
The only thing that will change is the modem software will be configured differently from carrier to carrier but as long as it's the same model number (I747M) it means the antenna inside is the same so you would still be able to connect even if you flashed an AT&T modem but reception might be little different.
I can't wait to get my hand on a GS 3. I should get it this week end.

It seems that the craze of Samsung Galaxy S II is not likely to get diminish in near future as yet another operator, U.S. Cellular is on the way to release its version of Galaxy S II in United States. This smartphone will be slightly different from other American variants in terms of its design and specs..........

A bigger battery is always good, but a 4.5" screen is probably a bit too big for wvga resolution.

Belongs in the Epic 4G Touch forums - US Cellular is a CDMA provider, and that combined with identical specs to the E4GT says this is just a rebadged E4GT.
This phone's model is SCH-R760 and it isn't 4G, just 3G so I don't think it can be thrown in with the Epic 4G Touch. Where should we be posting about this one?

Interesting. Probably it's an E4GT with the WiMax radio removed.
Well, it isn't out yet or Samsung is violating the GPL with it (no source code for the kernel posted), so it's hard to tell.
Thanks. It came out today and I have one so they are indeed violating the GPL. You are probably right though, it likely is the same phone minus that radio. I'm looking to root so I'm hoping I can use E4GT methods.
any luck??
Just wondering if you had any luck. bought mine yesterday and its rooted. im itching to try some custom roms, wondering.....
Still nothing for this phone? Are the R760 folks just SOL?

No. There just isn't an SCH-R760 forum on THIS site. Closest information you'll find is in the Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710) forums, but they are still different phones, so don't flash any actual E4GT ROMs, unless they explicitly state they will work on the SCH-R760.
Google is, and always will be, your friend.

A quick perusal of the results I got seem to indicate that the results on the teamuscellular.com website are likely to be your best resource for this variant.
I have a skyrocket and both variants are the same for ATT and Rogers...will this be the same for the GS3?
Yes the model is slated to be i747 on both rogers and at&t. In fact Bell and Telus will have the same model too. Now there may be small differences such as the boot up screen showing Rogers ( I remember this from my Captivate ) but the models to the best of my knowledge are going to be the same and the roms/firmwares interchangeable

Yeah the att and rogers versions of the Samsung Infuse 4G were the same and they pretty much shared the same forum....

nice, good news! cant wait to get my 32gb marble white GS3
Just curious what kind of speed (download and upload) are people getting on AT&T using the N7100?
Screen capture of the speed test would be very appreciated.
Thanks!!

Scary!

seems like you have AT&T, you might want to just want the 5 days for the LTE version

This right here is the only reason I'm interested in the AT&T Note 2.

So far there's no sign of the white version for ATT. And updates seem to be much slower getting to ATT phones. I have the ATT Galaxy S3 and no Jelly Bean yet. That's why I'm considering the international version instead. Plus there's a good deal on newegg now for 589.

so you CAN run a international rom then just flash a at&t modem?
Anybody else with speed test results?

I'm not sure yet. That's why I started that other thread. It's my theory and hope that you can flash international firmware onto (some) of the domestic North American Note 2's (including Canadian versions).
Just as an example, and I think I may have briefly touch on this in the other thread, take a look at the original Galaxy Tab (7 inch).
The international version of that device, available everywhere else around the world, was able to function as a phone out of the box.
The domestic carrier versions of the same device did not offer phone functionality at all, and were basically locked down, pay-as-you-go only, data-only, worthless (but expensive) pieces of crap! Unfortunately, if you had a CDMA version (Sprint, Verizon, US Cellular, etc.), you were totally out of luck, because the chipsets were different (or at least the modem firmware), and not compatible with the international firmware. However, the GSM US models were an exception, especially the AT&T version, and here's why:
With the very slight exception of the T-Mobile version (which used a custom UMTS modem for its own 1700mhz AWS band), the North American GSM Galaxy Tab's had -exactly- the same hardware, transistor for transistor. As such, if you bought an AT&T branded Tab (as I did), and you didn't like your carrier dictating to you what features you could or couldn't have on your device (which I didn't), you could give them a big fat middle finger by simply flashing the international firmware in all its unlocked feature-full glory.
With the T-Mobile version, it was slightly different due to the custom modem. If you simply flashed the international firmware and just left it at that, phone functionality would work fine, but you wouldn't have 3G functionality (because the international firmware didn't support 1700mhz AWS), so you'd be stuck on EDGE. However, if you wanted 3G, all you had to do was use Mobile Odin to flash the T-Mobile specific modem.bin, and off you went (minus working phone functionality). You had to flip flop between two modems, depending on your needs, but it was an OK workaround.
So anyway, this all gets me back to the Note 2 of today. As I mention in the other thread, seeing as how the North American Note 2's are almost identical to their international counterparts, with the major exceptions being the radio hardware and modem firmware, shouldn't it then be possible to get international firmware working on a domestic version?
The first step would be to see if you could even flash international firmware onto a domestic Note 2 and get the thing to even boot up.
Assuming that's possible, and say you have limited cellular functionality (if any at all!), with perhaps only WiFi working or something, then the next step would be to extract the modem.bin from the carrier-specific firmware, and then flash that over the international firmware.
Hopefully, theoretically, that should get you up and running!
*bump*. Anyone else care to share their results?
Thanks

This maybe early but I know it was done for AT&T Note 2, where the radio was enabled for use on T-mobile.
Does it seem likely for Samsung S4?
Thanks

Once the bootloader is unlocked...most likely. This has been the case for the T-mobile/AT&T variants that have had the same hardware (Note 2, Skyrocket, SGS3).
Depending on where you are you can catch 4g. In tampa florida I get 4g in some area with the tmobile/att shared band

The Canadian Version SGH-i337m (similar to AT&T) is bootloader unlocked. Can you please suggest how can attempt to do this. I will be getting my phone in couple of days.

You will probably have to wait until a dev makes a zip. Here is a link to the thread on how to do it for the Note 2. THIS WILL NOT work for your S4, but I'm sure something similar will come along.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068041
Are T-Mobile bands supported at the hardware level on the AT&T model? I guess my question is, will flashing a T-Mobile radio on an AT&T GS4 allow it to use all of T-Mobile's LTE bands, or just the two bands that are shared between the two? If the two phones are really the same at the hardware level it would mean the same frequencies are supported and just that some are disabled in the modem firmware of the AT&T version.
Search is not working and I couldn't see any posts answering this question directly.
Not sure. I unlocked my phone early this morning to try it out and can't get more than EDGE with my T-Mobile sim

For anyone who may be interested in this, it seems both the AT&T and the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 have in fact the exact same hardware board. This can be seen in minute 48:00 of the AT&T SGS4 teardown video by Adam Outler. More information on this on this thread.
It seems there is hope for enabling all the bands of the T-Mobile version on this device after all.
Hi, Just wondering any users in Australia who have the i9500, what ROM are you using and which one has the most compatible modem/radio.
I am currently using the Singapore MEA rom on Vodafone Aus, but I cant get any good performance on 3G/H+ downloads, as compared to my HTC1..
Any help is appreciated!

What baseband? I've mainly used omegarom on s2, s3, note2 and now s4 but 3G doesn't seem its strong point using MDK baseband

If you know of a baseband that would be great, this crap lollipop update has ruined my phone and downgrading seems impossible without the correct baseband. I WILL NEVER BUY SAMSUNG AGAIN.

well in australia lollipop has not officially come out by any of the providers so any ROM you put on is a gamble, not samsungs fault,yours!
Listen up troll this is an international phone meaning what it describes, yet service for that model has to be from country of purchase. Samsung is crap, bottom line. It is not my fault that I use an international phone which does an OTA update and wrecks it. I blame Google Samsung partnership for bricking my phone by releasing lollipop with all its bugs that exist right now. Samsung has **** customer service, I explained a simple english word 10 times to a call centre because it was routed via a local store number. What's worse, is you must send the phone to another country to be repaired by the same company for the same phone. Apple don't do that, I hate apple too so just be quiet and don't talk with little knowledge.
