This is the safest method on how to root your U.S Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T SGH-I747, Canada Telus,Rogers and Bell SGH-I747 variants without messing up your phone in no time. Many users already screwed up their Galaxy S3 devices from rooting methods that results to missing the IMEI number after loading or installing a wrong root kernels/clockworkmod recovery. The IMEI is a 15-digit number under your battery. dialing *#06# should display the same number under your battery.

How to update and change the AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon/Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 PRI/PRL

By
These are ways on how to change or update the PRL of US Samsung Galaxy S3 variants if you have encountered issues about network signals from your carrier providers. This method only works on AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3. What is PRL means? PRL stands for Preferred Roaming List. Its a list of roaming towers in your area. Its best to keep this updated in crappy coverage areas. What is PRI means? In actuality it is called "Product Release Instructions" and is essentially a list of settings for the radio. It's the PRI which uses the PRL to enable data roaming by connecting it to towers/cell sites listed in the PRL and for other things such as to allow calls to interrupt an active data session (ring-through). http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=751935&page=7 <- Debate on what it stands for. (REALLY?!) How do I update my Samsung Galaxy S3 PRL/PRI? Go to Menu > Settings > System Updates > Update PRL + Update Profi...
