[HTC Inspire 4G] jeffiphone:
Is it possible to use the Inspire without a sim card on WIFI for internet and email?

Every Android phone I have ever used has allowed me to "use" the phone without a sim card, but the inspire has a pop up message saying:

phone options

unable to detect your sim card.

Please make sure that your sim

card is properly inserted and

restart your phone.

The only two options that I have are "shut phone down" or "restart", and I have been unable to find a way past this message to use this as a wifi only device.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
I've done it many times no problem
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
You should have not an issue to do that....make sure that there's no SIM in the phone or you won't be able to use it. With no sim on it u can access the phone and use WI FI and mail with no problems at all...I am currently using it no sim at all...
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeffiphone:
theres no sim in it, yet i keep getting that same message....tried rebooting the phone and everything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
That is weird...I have been using my Inspire with no sim for more than a month...Is your phone rooted? maybe try a different rom...
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeffiphone:
No its stock. :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Have u entered wrong unlock code a few time? that will lock the sim...Maybe u can try rooting and gaining S-OFF to see what happens...of course is your choice, but the Hack Kit will give u simunlock...it should work after that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeffiphone:
I actually just picked this phone up via a trade so my wife could try Android out, so all I can say is that I haven't entered the wrong unlock code as I haven't attempted to unlock it.

Thanks for the help, though, I appreciate it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tragik2k12:
yeah easy way is just to run the ace hack kit...it will unlock and root it...THEN you shouldn't have no problem of running it without sim card...very simple and easy to do too:cowboy:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ghanafirst:
All his Big Brothers have been taken down ......... Epic 4G, EVO 4G, EVO Shift, EVO 3D, Epic 4G Touch, Nexus S. and even some VZN Phones have all been Flashed over to Boost Mobile, will the Almightily Heavy weight champion of the Smartphone WORLD be a challenge?? I'm planning to take him down (KTFO) as soon as I receive it in my Lake of the Woods next week. But if you take him down first tell us about it............Happy Flashing :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ranchosteve:
I am also waiting for mine to try and flash.

Does anyone one know if verizon gs3 also uses qualcom chipset?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trezegol:
i got mine today yey!! i flash it to my verizon prepaid account i also have the evo lte and the s3 feels alot faster and for some reason internet speeds are faster to... in advance qpst doesnt read it i tried avery version so your gonna need workshop for sure :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ranchosteve:
CAn you give us a step by step? I have always flashed Samsung's phones/pads with qpst. How do you go about doing the CDMA workshop? thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
I might get a GS3 from sprint.... but im gonna try and flash it to pageplus cellular since here at work they dont let me flash sprint phone to boostmobile
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ghanafirst:
Hey try DFS, that software is a beast it has read almost every phone for me. I don't have my S3 yet so I can't confirm it to work but i believe in it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackstaz11:
Has anyone be crack the sg3 yet? I want get my on boost?????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrkevo3000:
Unfortunately not.. I have a boost and sprint account I have an epic on boost and I have me s3 on Sprint... I haven't really tried yet but might give it a try this weekend, I know it reads with dfs and workshop just haven't tried anything yet, but this is one bad a** phone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
I'm also interested in the method. I'm assuming the same method to Boost will also work to move the Sprint Galaxy SIII to a Sprint legacy plan like SERO. What I've found out so far:

1) QPST v2.7 Build 366 doesn't work on the Sprint GS3 except to add the diag comm port so that QXDM can see the port. You will not be able to use QPST to manipulate Profile 0 and Profile 1 to enable 3G.

2) QXDM v3.11.36 can be used for the repair. This will get you voice, SMS, 1xRTT data working.

3) To fix Profile 0 and Profile 1 to enable 3G, CDMA Tools DFS v4.0.0.3 looks to be very promising. Don't know what fields to fill out though.

I've seen ads in craigslist selling flashing services for the Galaxy S3 for use w/ Boost, so someone has already figured this out. Hopefully it won't be long before someone documents all the steps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
My Friend already flashes hes Sprint Galaxy S3 to Boostmobile with 3G data and mms working....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] derrickmd18:
Nice I'm thinking about getting a s3 from best buy and paying full price and getting a warranty and flash to boost
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrkevo3000:
Have you tried qpst 2.7.374?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
You have to use DFS tool
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
I got a hold of QPST 2.7 build 378. This version is able to read more info from the Galaxy S3 than build 366. I'm able to launch EFS Explorer and see most (if not all) the NV Items. I'm not able to use Service Programming however. As soon as I enter the MSL, I get an error message saying "Roaming list receive failed". It looks like the latest build is 385. I'm wondering perhaps this build will be able to fully read/write the GS3. If anyone has a link to QPST 2.7 build 385, please share.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

Do you think you and/or your friend can share with us how you guys did it using DFS? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
Ill tell him how if he can do a guide or something....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ranchosteve:
I flashed to Sero.

I used qxdm 3.12.714, which connected fine. I tried QPST.2.7.374 and was not able to connect to phone. "PRL error". CDWS connects but some features don't work, but its enough to get the phone programmed and 3g.

.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrkevo3000:
Do you mind sharing that version of Qxdm been looking for that one! Thanks..

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

I second this, Also is that qpst 2.7.385 the latest one, I'm surprised that cdws hasn't updated its software to not need these other ones like Dfs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
QXDM v3.12.714 : http://hotfile.com/dl/114670632/36a0d73/QXDM_3.12.714_winxp.rar

Anyone have QPST 2.7 build 385?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ghanafirst:
In DFS the fields to fill out for Profile 0 and Profile 1 are under Programming >>>Mobile. IP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Yes, I figured that before posting. It however is still operating at 1xRTT. So there must be something else I'm missing that needs to be changed in DFS.

GOT IT!

I had to write to both NAMs on both the NAM1 and NAM2 under the NAM tab. --- Everything is working perfectly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
One thing I noticed here is that QPST build 378 isn't able to read NV Items for backup purposes if you're on the latest LG8-based ROM. The solution is to downgrade the ROM. This one works: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1774722
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sheetalc:
Am kicking myself for this mistake. I was typing the wrong HA password to my Profile 1!! Wasted 5 hours due to this.. WTF. anyway, learnt how to use DFS pretty well now. I followed AlpineMan's steps, but added a a couple of steps to it. I had to write my Profile 1 details (this is where I made my mistake) and then I used CDMA WS 2.7 version to write NV items 1192 and 1194 (I had the backup text from my donor). This was just after finishing with DFS steps and before the reboot.

And as soon as I rebooted I was in 3G - EVDO:RevA:8 -- what a joy to see it :)

Thanks guys!! Off to finding a good stable ROM for my new baby!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtadeo:
what steps did you use? Please help a noob out lol...

I have a LG272 (reflex) phone that's currently on Boost... I want to use that as a donor so I can flash the SG3...

JK... my steps i posted work for cm10, touchwiz, ics, alot of you forget one simple thing, once you change something or push a file to system, or do anything that's changing the system a reboot of your phone is mandatory.. wipe both cache's fix permissions.

Re: Easy flash

With CDMA WS all you need to do is activate donor phone, save donor phone nam1 nam2, connect sgs3 write nam1 write nam2..then write boost prl and its done talk text and 3g in less than 5 minutes..no qpst....no qxdm and find the HA and AAA password...then use the mms fix in this thread and u have yourselves a fully flashed sgs3...i use the FreeSGS Rom w/Jelly Bomb Domiantion Theme, then use the V6 SuperCharger Scripts....now you have the best phone on the market hands down :)

PS. Google Now Rocks S-Voice sucks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtadeo:
if only it were that easy... lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 12manytimes:
It IS that easy..if u r using cdma ws 3.8.7 ;)...when u hook up the donor phone and save NAM1 and NAM2 it also saves the HA and AAA psswds..so all u do is just right NAM1 and NAM2 onto the phone then write the prl and your done..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtadeo:
ah... I spent about 5 hours trying to flash yesterday and I got fed up... I wish I had the cash for that version of CDMA ws... :(

will keep researching and try again tonight

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RioSoul:
This man broke down how to flash this phone to Boost in the EASTIEST way possible. Buying CDMA Workshop to flash this phone is a HUGE waste of money. Don't do it! I'm a QPST head, so I was kinda hesitant to use DFS CDMA Tool, but being that there's no version of QPST that can read the Galaxy 3, I had no other choice but to learn how to use it & to my surprise, using DFS CDMA Tool is just as easy as using QPST! I am now proud to announce that I can fully flash all of Sprint's Samsung & HTC Android phones to Boost Mobile. The only problem that I have is doing PRL & Profile Updates on the EVO LTE. Gonna see about reflashing my EVO LTE with DFS CDMA Tool using this method & see what I come up with. I think the issue with not being able to do PRL/Profile Updates on the EVO LTE has something to do with the phone itself & has nothing to do with anything flashing related. Anyhow, thanx for this short yet very effective guide AlpineMan. Using your guide helped me to understand exactly what needs to be programmed to each NV item in order to get the Galaxy 3 to work on Boost.

My advice is get QPST,Cdma Workshop,DFS and just copy everything you can from one phone to your Epic Touch.

I used Optimus V as donor phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I've been reading through this thread.

I'm having fading call issues on the Sprint network with my S3 since I activated it over 2 months ago.

If I switched to Boost, would those Fading issues most likely continue? If the answer is Yes, then if I waited for the Fading call issues to remedy themselves, whatever the cause is, which is Unknown, and I then eventually switched over to Boost, after paying the ETF, which CDMA Workshop software would I need to purchase?

Would I just be giving up LTE by switching to Boost?

I see there is a CDMA with Power Pack for $219 and a version for $108 and then there are one year or 2 year upgrades.

I found this:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
You're right. Dunno what I was thinking. Try checking your APN settings. Also try ##DEBUG# (pass is "sprint" in numeric) and perhaps it'll give you a clue why data isn't working.
