First it might be easier if you got a different donor phone the prevail can be done but it is is much harder using that as a donor. Plus you have the added benefit of saving $5 a month. I personally suggest a sanyo incognito you then just need it added to your account and make sure its updated and can access the net then get DFS(free) and a computer running 32 bit windows with S3 drivers and Sanyo Incog drivers and easy from there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] retailguy:
You're not going to find a "how to" guide here. It's against the rules. Google is your friend. I'd suggest using the following terms "mudduq GS3". On my computer it's the 2nd choice... His guide works great, and he's a great guy to boot! Good luck.

Ive loaded nv items and .nam using CDMA W2.7 i need to write the profile 0 and profile 1. Cant do that with CDMA Workshop 2.7 Im entertaining buying the software but 700 dollars though.. i dunno.

$700? I thought it was $100?

Here's a trick you don't need to load nv ram files, or write anything to prof 0, or prof 1. The GS3e will auto populate those as-long as the MEID, ESN, and MSID are correct in the phone. just write those values then do a ##786# reset when, then connect to wifi and let the handset activate itself.

If this saved you time, hit the thanks button.

This is all I do you can do it all via DFS free as long as you don't need your donor MSN. Takes less than 5 minutes.

Help!

Hello! I have a galaxi s3 flashed to boost and it has the android version 4.0.4. So it is asking me to update the phone, but I always cancel the update, because i don't know if I"m gonna loose the flash! Do you guys think if I do the update, it will wipe the flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
If you have a stock rom and it is rooted and you accept the update you would probably lose root. If you have stock rom and are not rooted you could update and you would be fine. If you have a non stock rom with a different kernel you can accept the update it will fail and have a chance of never receiving the update message again or, like me and others you continue to get it at which point you would either have to edit your build prop or find the file to flash to do it for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalehua4791:
The answer is no it will update your system if you are stock and will fail if you have a custom recovery.....but either way you should not have to worry about the flash as it is a totally different part of the phone.....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] francsperez:
Ok thanks! So what about if I install the jelly beam version? Can I do it without losing the flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalehua4791:
As stated before it won't matter what ROM YOU INSTALL OR UPDATE it won't affect the flash to boost mobile......I have done a few hundred of these and speak from experience......

Trying to flash s3 to boost

I am trying to flast a sprint s3 to boost I have a incognito for the donner I have the paid CDMA 3.9.0 , DFS demo witch isnt helping much I cant get the SPC code I need help asap I need some software that works for these phone can any one help I tried to down load the file and it has been removed here .. other programe that I see working on youtube ether you cant find the software or you have to do some stupid survey to get it and then you still dont get it Ive been trying this for going on 4 days please help!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
You have all you need with those two programs.

You say you cant get the SPC for what? the incognito?

If you have it active on Boost you can actually call them and get it or if you added it to your account online on the last confirmation page it gives it to you. It's free to change phones around so you could add a different phone to your account then re-add the incognito to get the SPC/MSL online.

If not you can get it this way:

Connect the incog open CDMA WS o to the Memory tab and in the Memory / Eeprom section Read Address 0363:0000 with 65536 size, this will create a file save it to your desktop or wherever so you can use it in a minute.

You may be have to read it twice or a lot of times the phone for some reason will not respond, try again and again and again until you get a 64kb .bin file if it keeps to giving you a hard time, disconnect in CDMA WS and try again, or reboot both your computer and the phone and keep trying and trying till it works.

Next you will use a program called winhex just google it and you should be able to download it from the first link at the top. Open winhex and then the .bin file you saved with CDMA WS and then go to Specialist from the top then down to Gather Text and then in the popup Recognize text by put 6 in the box and then make sure everything is unchecked but Numbers in the boxes it will want to save a file, save it wherever you want and it will open it automatically all the way to the right there should be 6 numbers in a row and that will be your incog SPC/MSL if there is more than one of them then keep trying them till one works.

Hey guys just grabbed a GS3 and trying to pull the MSL off it. It is completely default at the moment and the radio/rom has been updated to latest versions. Do i need to downgrade it via odin to get apps like "getmymsl" to work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalehua4791:
At work at the moment but if you use the new Sammy password the radio version won't matter and you should be able to find your msl / spc with the app or better yet with the full version of cdma 3.8 and above.......

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
The steps are identical to getting MSL from Note 2 which I outlined in the FAQ in the Note 2 thread.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ugabuga:
Apparently on the latest FW/Radio the apps do not work, even rooted. Solved that by downgrading via Odin and used "getmymsl" which worked.

Need ideas for the Treo 850. I been trying to get it to connect for hours now on a WIN7 64 bit machine. I installed the 64 bit drivers and put the phone in diag mode. CDMA WS finds it on port 5 but cannot read it at all. Device manager shows the modem by CDMAGurus but the generic serial keeps prompting. I've rebooted both the phone and notebook multiple time etc no luck.

I also tried on WinXP with a driver i found and basically the same thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
As others stated if you just use the new Samsung password posted a few pages back and then something like full version of CDMA WS or DFS(totally free)with that password you can read the MSL from the program.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
The password work .... but it doesn't let you change it ... my cdma workshop says failed to write spc
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moduli:
Where can you read MSL/SPC in DFS?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
In Programming tab, press SPC button.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moduli:
I tried that. When I hit the read button under SPC, the log shows "GET SEC_CODE CPS_ERROR BAD_PARAM". I can get many other things to read if I choose "Ignore SPC", but still I don't see a way to read the SPC code. I am using the lastest 4.6.4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
Did you send the samsung password first?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moduli:
I did. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to read the phone. I have been using DFS to flash phones for a while. I just don't see a way to read SPC after sending password.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] E-POUND:
U cant read the spc with any password new or old. U have to downgrade ROM to get spc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moduli:
That's what I thought. But some people above said it can be done, so I was curious. Turns out they were wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ugabuga:
Just did this via DFS over the weekend. Setting up the GS3 went smooth with the default rom once downgraded. I tested for a few hours and everything seemed ok as i got voice,sms, and data working.

I then flashed a custom rom (the Peoples Rom) and been having issues since. At times nothing would work at all. After some troubleshooting i found out i have to connect to WIFI and do a update profile to get anything working. The issue is everytime I reboot it seems to lose the settings and i have no voice, sms, or data until i repeat the process.

Any ideas? I am going to try a sprint chat and have them reprovision the account and see if that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalehua4791:
I just did 3 of them off which 2 also wanted their spc/msl changed to 000000.....I have done about a 100 of these with these instructions in this post the past 3 months.....it's a lot easier then doing the old htc evo.....might want to read up again......alpine man is spot on with the instructions in this forum.....hit thanks if this helped

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

Very odd as I just did 3 and flashed 1 to the new people's rom and one to stock and the last one to the synergy rom for gs3......updated prl and profile and all is working.....

You probably did but I need to ask when you flashed from stock to the New Rom did you do a full wipe....cache, dalvik cache and then data factory reset?

Lastly the rom side AND the flash to boost are truly 2 different sides and one should NOT affect the other......BUT their is always that unknown.....

Hope this helped
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ugabuga:
Thx for the reply. I've done a few also usually once the self-service took place switching roms never has been an issue. This behavior is odd...i may flash back to stock and see if things act well..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moduli:
Let me get this straight. I am NOT talking about flashing phones or changing SPC. All I wanted was to READ SPC using DFC after sending password, without knowing SPC. My phone is purely stock MD4. Are you saying that this can be done? If so, how?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] autoprime:
there is a SPC method being sold around some forums... this method allows you to read the SPC on updated GS3 and Note 2 Sprint firmware. The method is still unknown to me... I'm still trying to figure it out myself.

The old SPC method does not work on updated GS3/Note2 firmware/modem... anyone saying otherwise is trolling.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalehua4791:
ok
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tresveces:
I've got a noob question.

I bought a Spring GS, and I just managed to get the MSL by downgrading to a rooted LJ7 version.

I don't have a boost number or account, is it possible for me to flash my GS3 and then activate the phone on boost for a new number?

or do i need to have an existing boost account in order to be able to "flash" my GS3 to boost?

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
Theirs a script floating around that changes your spc to 000000 and a 16 digit password ....

Sent from my SGH-M919
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] retailguy:
I think you need to do a little more reading about what you're trying to do, or you should watch some youtube videos first. You have to have a compatible boost phone to do the flash. Once you've bought the phone, why wouldn't you activate it, get a phone number and then mess with the flash? Plenty of people have paved the road for you. All you have to do is read, understand what you're reading and follow the directions prepared for you.

The GS3 works great on boost. My wife loves it. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tresveces:
where can i find the list of compatible phones?

when you say "one you've bought the phone ...", which phone are you referring too?

The GS3 is a Sprint one with BAD esn obviously I can't activate on it so I am flashing,

but if you are saying i need to buy a new boost phone in order to flash gs3 and junk the

new boost phone, then I don't have that kind of money to play with.

also my friend have a boost account with Motorola i475 Cluth, is the phone on the compatible list?

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
just get a boost incognito. around $30 to $50 on ebay. use that. you NEED a donor. no ifs and or butts about it.

or just pay someone $80 to $100 they will provide the donor information and take care of the programming for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] retailguy:
The clutch is an IDEN phone, which operates on the old nextel network. That won't work. Nerys71 is right, the incognito is the best choice. Very easy to read data as long as you have a 32bit version of windows 7 available, or windows XP. There are no 64bit drivers available for windows 7.

Basically any 3G boost phone should work, but you'd be hard pressed to find an easier phone to use than the incognito. Probably hard to find a cheaper one too. I paid 35 bucks for mine three years ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
Agreed with the incognito it is the only one I use to flash phones. Once you get accustomed to what your doing you can flash in 10 minutes or so depending if you have to downgrade your android OS on the SIII. I have even done a flash with a incognito that had a bad screen that wouldn't turn on so doing it blind was fun but not too hard since I had another incog for reference to what to press and such.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ronhero:
Food for thought I have been buying Samsung Rants (Sprint Branded) with both clean and bad esn's for $5 - $15 on Ebay. With boost's new recycle program I am able to activate them on a boost account and rip the keys off no problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] retailguy:
I think I read somewhere that the problem with the rant is that it isn't a 3G phone. You get internet on your S3, but not 3G. What's the point in that? I think most folks would plunk down an extra $20 to get 3G speeds, wouldn't you?

You really can't beat the incognito. Easy, cheap, 3G. What more do you want?

Edit- I guess the rant is 3G, but I remember reading something about issues with the S3. No idea what it was....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalehua4791:
You are badly mistaken the rants work just fine.....have a few s3 on then now......

K
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
really? got instructions for ripping the rants I thought they had hard to "get at" 3g keys (the incognito 3g keys are basically in the open so easy to rip :)) at least thats what I was told.

I put my S3 on boost using an incognito. my first clone job. had some help but got it done!

I want to put a Note II on boost.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] retailguy:
Badly mistaken? Did you read my edit?

Look - my comments relate to helping a 1st time user flash his phone. You might be just excellent at extracting info from rants. He isn't. The incognito is easy. Flashes don't fail when they follow directions and use an incognito. Knock yourself out saving $20 bucks on a rant. I'm thrilled for you. (seriously)

An uninformed user can try it, save $20 bucks and still not have a working phone a week later. There are dozens of examples in this thread. There are guides on how to do this, and they use the incognito. Why? Because it works, it's predictable and it's easy - for the 1st time user.

I know people who used the prevail just to prove it could be done. But it wasn't easy, at least for them. So should we have inexperienced folks doing it?

My anecdotal point - there are very few incognito users that had their flashes fail. When you read about issues, it usually relates to other phones. There are people who still can't flash 3G to the S3, and they still sell services on ebay! Why? I have no idea.

What makes me feel better is giving back to the community that taught me how to flash phones.

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a jam, and I'd like to know if any of you could help:

I downloaded all the programs(QPST, QXDM, CDMA Workshop, DFS Explorer), but QPST won't recognize my Galaxy Prevail(My donor phone) and QXDM won't load it, though CDMA WS connects to it.

Strange thing is, it doesn't read it. I click "connect" and it "listens" to the port, but doesn't recognize it as a phone.

I was able to get the SPCs from both the s3 and the prevail through mods and hidden menus.

But...

I'm stuck since I can't get that 64kb file(the memory or nv items) because I can't get the phone to read.

Any help'd be greatly appreciated.
