I have the same thing. I was able to root it however I lost the Lte function. It's not even a feature or setting no more. You found something on your side?

So you have a T817W not a T917W model as shown in your question title eh?
I have the T817W with Bell, but managed to root and installed even the Xposed on it with the help from Ashyx.
Please read message #270 from here, but you may want to read a few more pages back. There are a lot of good information there that helped me. You will have yours rooted at no time. My LTE still works fine too.

Rooted with Xposed, and still have LTE here too.

I just bought a GSM unlocked Galaxy S3 (edit: i9300, android 4.0) and went with T-Mobile's online pre-paid plan. It's all stock except for having root access through CF auto-root. Edit: the device is not rooted, just using CF auto-root to give apps root access. Everything is still stock as far as I understand how CF auto-root works. The device is still running 4.0 and no updates are available. Are we being left behind? Or was there an update, and if so, why can't I see it?
Edit: I haven't checked KiesAir, and I'm not at a machine that can allow me to do that with my phone. I'll try that tonight after work, but if somebody could chime in, I'd still appreciate that.
Apologies in advance if this is posted in the wrong forum or if I'm asking a questions that's been asked a hundred times already. I've tried digging in the forums for an answer, but it's far too time-consuming and produces little or no results.

Hi Diashi!
1. Q & A Forum is the right place to ask - no reason to be worried.
2. You bought the LTE version (GT-I9305) ??? - 'cause you only wrote Galaxy S3 - if so, this is the best place to ask.
3. We're not being left behind - but if you got an unlocked and rooted device, you will not receive OTA's (Over The Air Updates)!
You'll have to flash them manually with Odin (Windows), or Heimdall (Linux), or through CWM recovery.
So the first thing you have to do is, check if you have a GT-I9300 (no LTE) or a GT-I9305 (LTE).
And if you still have questions > feel free to ask!

It's an i9300, which has LTE. The phone is not rooted and there are no roms installed. I simply installed SuperSU.apk with CF auto-root to allow root access to apps that require root. I did this so that updating the OS wouldn't be an issue in the future, but i don't know yet if this is absolutely the case.
Thanks for replying KuliX. Anybody else who wishes to weigh in, it's all appreciated.
Edit for clarification.

To your understanding:
Go to Settings > About device > model number
GT-I9300 = no LTE
GT-I9305 = LTE
there is definitely no device with Model number GT-I9300 AND LTE!!!
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU!!!
CF-auto-root means = your phone is ROOTED - not just for some apps which require root - YOUR WHOLE DEVICE IS ROOTED!
The only different is, you do not have a custom recovery like CWM.

Ahhh, I see. So if KiesAir turns out to be fruitless, should I try to install 4.1 somehow through Odin the same way I installed auto-root? I'm not even sure where I would look for instruction to do that. Oh, wait. What about 4.2? Is there a version of that for i9300? Sorry for being such a grunt, but answering these questions should help other people in my same situation.
Also, the wiki for the i9300 says it has voice over LTE, but I'm guessing not data. That's a real disappointment. I thought the i9300 had everything. It's not a deal breaker though.

There is no Android Version higher than 4.1.2 - that's the latest brand new firmware!
You can get it here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware
And I would suggest you to switch over to GT-I9300 forum - cause you will run into heavy problems if you flash the wrong firmware!!!
And YES - you can flash newer firmware with Odin!
I'll give this a go and might report back later. You've been a great help, KuliX. Thanks!
I am happy to report that my phone was able to update from 4.0 to 4.1 through Kies (not KiesAir) - while I was using CF auto-root - without a single hitch. Everything is in place as it was before the update: rooted apps, settings and all.
Special thanks to Chainfire for making CF auto-root, an my life a lot easier. And thanks KuliX for providing some valuable info.
Hopefully this will help somebody else out there.
A little confused, do you have the 9300 or 9305 as the 9300 does NOT have LTE.
Go to settings>About device
I am a little concerned for you as if you have been sold the 9300 as having LTE it does not! So you may not have something that you have paid for.

The seller on eBay had a long stat and feature page which said the phone had LTE. Technically, it does - for voice. But not for data. This isn't something that I was aware of until KuliX brought it up. I'm not disheartened, though. T-Mobile seems to have plenty of HSPA+ in Los Angeles, and by the time they get real LTE up next year (probably summer or later), some new Samsung whatever will be out and I'll just rotate to that.
The i9300 I bought was for $620 (roughly), and included tax and shipping. It's the best price I could find. Little details like this are something I'll consult with members on XDA in the future, before I buy. This was really just my mistake.
Edit: sentence structure.
As long as you are happy! That is what counts!

that can be changed it can do it on data too voice and data use the same paths thrue the modem and radio you just have to flash it to the firmware
of the SCH-T999 to the radio or edit it to include the data portion the radios and modems are same between phones im allmost 95% sure of that
based on my resarch of the phones and also on the I9305 the same. T-mobile doesnt have 4G or LTE they use the 1700mhz band Odd Tiering
both the SCH-T999 and the Samsung GT-i9300 have the same radios and modem its my theory that if you add the firmware from the T-999 are the same , now dont get confused the Roms are diffrent because quad core vs dual core and the Snapdragon S4 processor is in the T-mobile version but that has nothing to do with the modem or the radio modules, its all programming.. because if you look at the spects for the T-mobile side version T999 version it doesnt even list the LTE for regional now guys let me say some thing why would they use LTE for voice when GSM has more then enough for the band space for voice? that makes no sense...its the FCC regulation and certification of operation, its just programming guys that is all.
Hey guys,
Upon reading through the threads, I wasn't able to find specifics to what I'm looking for.... it's apparent that the support has stopped for this issue, which I completely understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have an unlocked ATT Note 3 on (NJ5) to be used on T-Mobile.
I'm wanting to downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 to get back to (NC2).
Can someone confirm the following: (Please add to it if I'm missing something)
Odin ATT 4.4.2 (NC2) - Anyone have the direct link?
Root - Best method?
Safestrap work around? Is this the correct thread? How about this?
Planning to flash ATT FireKat (TouchWiz based) ROM....
From my understanding:
I only have one shot at this, therefore, I want to make sure that all my ducks are in a row before doing this as a "mistake," isn't an option right? I only have one shot at this or Hard brick yes?
Questions:
After successfully doing all this, with the correct TM APN settings, will the ATT phone be able to use all TM's bands? LTE 1700, Band 4 etc....
What are any drawbacks of using the ATT N3 on TM, if any? (I'll be happy with 4.4.2 so no worries on any fancy updates.)
The phones currently unlocked right now. Will doing the steps above lock the phone back up?
Is this all worth it or should I just sell the ATT N3 and buy a TM branded one?
Is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
* I hope this post also helps anyone in the future that's in the same boat as I am.

this will give you 100% stock nc2.
Best way to root is with towel root.
with safestrap you do not need a workaround as it works perfect on nc2 you only need to do a workaround if you would like to go to 4.4.4...And for the record I've done a lot of flashing of random stuff that came from here and I did myself and I'm yet to hard brick or come from a point of no return.
all those t-mobile questions I can't answer cause t-mobile is crap in my area..
Hope this helps!

Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it.
To confirm:
From a dead stop (the state my phone is at right now on NJ5)...
1. Odin NC2. (Which one specifically shall I download? I see a bunch of different links.)
2. Towel Root.
3. Put the TM Sim in...add APN's...
4. Flash ROM if desired...
5. Good to go?
Just need these 4... and if you want to rom you need to install busy box and safestrap after you root with towel root. Then yea should be good to go!

Oh and would you happen to know if the ATT device has the 1700 band (band 4) to support TM's LTE? I remember with the older devices ATT branded phones didn't have the 1700 build in, but now I'm thinking it might be different....hhmm
Also, it is unlocked right now...will the phone lock itself after all this?

Help on using 4G LTE in Pakistan
I have just received my AT&T Samsung Note 3 model SM N900A and am using it in Pakistan with warid network. I received the sim unlock code from AT&T. Warid is giving us 4G LTE service but my cell does not work on it. Since warid is not giving 3G service, my cell just connects using edge which is very slow. I actually bought Note 3 for 4G LTE but due to some reason its not working. The carrier people have no answer except that my set is not supported by their system. Can you kindly help? My set is not rooted.
Warid 4G LTE is working on 1800Mhz FDD Band 3 which is supported by my set. Other device parameters are as below:
Baseband version N900AUCUBMJ5
kERNEL VERSION 3.4.0-1625098
[email protected] #1
build JSS15J.N900AUCUBMJ5
Android version 4.3
And I would also like to know if I can update my set to newer android version or not?
Awaiting your positive response.

Question, are these files also downgrade the modem firmware to match the 4.4.2 ROM?
The reason I want to downgrade to 4.4.2, is to fix the GPS signal issue we all AT&T Note 3 owners having after the 4.4.4 update. Does anyone downgraded to 4.4.2 and GPS issues fixed?
Okay so I have the AT&T version of the galaxy s6 obviously and from what information I got it already it seems difficult to root this phone I've tried a few methods but they don't seem to work unless I'm doing something wrong I currently have service with Cricket Wireless but I'm using a AT&T galaxy s6 with that prevent me from rooting my phone any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance
I do not think root is currently possible for the latest (s6) versions of Android.
Correct. Depends on your software version whether it's rootable or not. If you are on 5.0.2 either OF3 or OF4, or any 5.1.1, there is currently no root available.

****! Well can I at least tether my internet? And when exactly did the 5.1.1 update come out
I purchased my friends S5 which was from AT&T and then I used the BYOP plan with Straight Talk. How do I root this? I tried Towelroot and it says its not supported. Also what ROMs can I get with this if any? I want to root to get rid of all the at&t pre installed apps on here that I cant use with Straight talk. Also pretty new to this. I have Odin on my laptop from installing stock firmware on my S3. Any help with root and ROMs would be much appreciated.

Is there a root method for sm-t377a running MM 6.0.1?
This is a Tab E (according to bootup splash screen). I have seen methods for other variants but the A variant seems to be a vague area.
If this is answered elsewhere, and I missed it please point me in the right direction. THANKS!

Sent from my Rooted Galaxy S7 EDGE on Android 7.0 Nougat, here's the instructions how to do it!
From what I have gathered the AT&T version SM-T377A is an Exynos CPU
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=device&id=9353&c=samsung_sm-t377a_galaxy_tab_e_8.0_4g_lte
And according the the linked web site, the 377T (tmobile) version is also, where the 377P (sprint) is a Qualcomm CPU. (again, according to that linked web site above)
I have seen a few method for root on the 377P sprint variant, which I'm assuming will not work since its different architecture. I would guess that if a 377T method was available it would work on the 377A version? But with the extreme lack of information regarding this model - I would wait until someone confirms a working method.
Is there a root method??
Kingroot
I have the same problem I just can't root it. But a came across this article that pretty much says they have actually rooted a tab e sm t377a from at&t successfully with kingroot with or without pc. just Google costume recovery tab e sm t377a and choose the one from
Android we blog .com it seems helpful but but I but
Couldn't make it work but check it out, I am new to all this maybe I didn't understand some thing maybe you do. If you find a way to root please let me know... I will do the same.
Nope

will not root marsmallow...I've tried it
I'm about to sell this tablet and get the sprint 9.6 unlocked. This thing is super slow running all this att stuff
I don't see how it could be incredibly different from the methods of rooting my at&t g950u snapdragon 835 s8. I still have locked bootloader and didn't trip Knox. No custom recovery is available or magisk but Xposed is working. Tab e t337a also has a locked bootloader w/ Knox. Really only difference is the processor architecture is exynos 3475.
yesssss!...what he said!!!!....fast forward 2 yrs later and still no root!
