Didn't read through all this so I apologize. I have an S2 on Boost and the usb port is all messed up. Sick of ICS and the phone itself it just beat. Dropped in water a few times... Going to get a new S2 on craigslist tomorrow but perhaps I should get an S3? Is the process the same? What would I do with my S2? I have all the info saved from my TP2 that I used for the S2. Should not be that hard if the process is the same? 3g and mms working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Correct...no need to do Profile 1. OTA auto activation and/or "Update Profile" will take care of this for you in Boost/Sprint. You'll need to change your APN settings for Boost to make MMS work. As for using Sprint Zone app to activate via WiFi...won't hurt. Give it a try. I haven't tried on Boost since I'm on Sprint. One thing I've also observed is I think you can also do OTA and/or "Update Profile" via WiFi, too...at least on the Sprint branded GS3 if I'm not mistaken.

I'm a virgin customer, and was really wanting to get this on their service. I know they also use sprints towers. Would the process be different to do so?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
I got the Verizon GS3 (voice and SMS only) working on Sprint network. Should work on Boost as well. I'm stuck on getting data to work. 1xRTT and 3G aren't working yet.

Has anyone else attempted this?

voicemail

So i got everything working except voicemail notification. Anyone have a fix for this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] izzox:
I have the same problem. I got a vzw GS3 & a vzw GNex. I was never able to get data on the GS3, with the Gnex I had 3g showing up for 10 sec once. I think that there must be something related to the sim blocking access to 3g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
With or without the SIM, my VZW GS3 behaves the same. I've seen ads in craigslist claiming they can activate this on Boost... So pretty confident it can be done.

Sorry, nooby here

Does anyone know if sanyo innuendo can be a donor?

Is it possible to get the ha and aaa keys using dfs? I heard that its hard to get the info from the innuendo soo idk

If anyone can help thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
I got the VZW GS3 working on Sprint (voice, sms, 3G data). You need to use QPST to do Profile 0 and 1. Then use QPST to load Sprint PRL. Only thing not working now is MMS. It's an APN issue. For some reason when I use APN Backup & Restore to restore a Sprint GS3 APN to the phone, the phone isn't using/recognizing the APN's. Current work around is to use Go SMS Pro for MMS and manually set the MMS Proxy in the app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
@alpine,

For the vzw on sprint, over the air activation won't work? Or update profile?

.... And your dfs method for sprint won't work for the vzw s3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetdaddy:
Any solution or steps to get Voice Mail Notification?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Unfortunately, there is no Update Profile in VZW GS3. Not sure if there's any other way to do OTA on it. I haven't tried the Sprint Zone app to see if that will work. I had to manually populate Profile 0 and 1 using QPST. Also need to manually put in a Sprint PRL using QPST in order to save the config. I used 24006.prl.

I actually used both DFS and QPST to do the VZW GS3. I did everything on DFS except for profile 0 and 1 and loading 24006 PRL.

BTW, if you've got a Verizon SIM in the phone...remove it. Otherwise, you won't be able to connect to the Sprint network. :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Are you sure you're connected at 3G? Disconnect from wifi if connected. Run the Speed Test app. Then go to System Settings, About Device, Status. Then look at what Mobile Network Type says. If it says 1xRTT, then you're not connected at 3G. Check Profile 0 and 1.

I've been trying to use the free version of DFS to connect but can't get it to work, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, all I keep seeing is options to "connect my apple device". What am I doing wrong?

Also, any ideas on what might be wrong with the 3g connection?

So overall, is everyone having pretty good success with moving their sprint gs3 phone to boost? I just lost my 25% discount and I am considering paying the $350 to get out of my contract and move to boost or might even try pageplus if the phone can do it. Pageplus seems like it would be a better deal as Verizon has a faster network in my area. They got LTE before we even got wimax.

Ive tried alpines guide and the other guy saying he just configed profile 1 and 2 only and did a ##72786# and still no luck with evdoA.

It will sometimes show in menu but then when I go to load web page you can tell its still 1xrTT. I dont know what else to check and this damn phone has to be hard reset everytime you flash it cause DFS wont read it after 1 flash.

any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
When flashing, I always use either LG2 or LEN baseband/radio. No problems whatsoever. Perhaps downgrade your GS3 to the mentioned radio, then double check to make sure your profile 0's AAA key is correct. I don't even bother with Profile 1...This is automatically taken care of using OTA activation or Update Profile.

Welcome to the site. Have used both. One feature that Boost offers is that you can see a record of your account usage (phone numbers, dates, times) online on your account page. Virgin has a plan for 1500 minutes that includes data and texting for only $30 a month. I never used even the measly 450 minutes I used to have on an old plan. Those are the two big differences that I could think of. Both use the same Sprint network, so quality of call experience should be similar. Good luck with your choice.

cool man ty. . now to check my aaa password again. should I blank out profile 1 info and write to phone? still didnt fix the dfs one shot flashing issue. I still have to hard reset if I want to remodify using dfs.

so I update my profile 0 settings and reboot. after reboot it gives me error 67. i connect to wifi and update profile. it completes and I reboot. it shows 3g and now I have EVDOA!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pcwireless:
I just flashed a Verizon Galaxy S3 to Boost as well, but only have talk and text. There is a 3g icon on the notification bar and the up and down arrows are blinking which probably means data activity, but web sites are blank and does not display, and can't get data at all. Also, when I make a call, 3g icon is still there and green highlighted bar across the notification bar, which suggest I can talk and use data at the same time.

I have also successfully flashed Sprint Galaxy S3 to boost but can't get data on the Verizon GS3.

Galaxy S3 rooted and flashed to Boost

I have flashed quite a few S3 phones to boost with internet and full MMS working perfectly. You must provision MMS correctly and the method is unlike any other phone. Using SMS PRO from the market is not the way to have fully working MMS. I provision my MMS and then I use CDMA Workshop version 3.8.0 to do everything after first getting my MSL from connectbot.

did this phone when they had the release party in nyc hehe friend got a comp one next day i flashed it sprint model.....done a bunch since then....now had a verizon model fall in my hand and i did it everything works evdo internet, talk text etc. but strange thing i have no 3g or 1xrtt icon at all just the damm sim not there icon...(which i am gonna get that to disapperar later on) like i said internet is working fast and fine in settings says evdo not 1rxtt so i know its working fine but no icon? anyone got a clue or anyone on verizon model do you guys have the 3g icon

dont want to kill myself over it if its this paticualr phone as long as it works i guess less clutter uptop lol....i had to flash a rom afterwards as those verizon apps are way too much bloat.....(btw i like my evo lte better alot better) but the wife loves samsung!

as for boost its always better to get sprint model rather than verizon if given choice...i had no choice with this verizon one i bought for 50 bucks

not a deal breaker just few extra steps.....

as for verizon model epst type of menus dont work so you have to sideload like phone info app from market to toggle cdma(auto prl) to turn off lte for those having problems with data this turns on cdma only instead of the hybrid thing......

MMS

So what is the MMS fix.

I have tried the EFS Explorer method using Galaxys3_FLASH_to_boost_MMS_pictures_fix_apns-conf.zip

Still not MMS.

Can someone please post the MMS fix?

Thank you in advance

EDIT: I'm an idiot!

Sorry I missed it in the thread.

The problem was, is that I had an older version of APN Backup and Restore, and it wasn't working.

I installed and move the latest version of the app using EF Explorer and used the xml in this thread posted by mikebionca06 and it worked like a charm.

I tried using other xml that were suppose to work and they didn't, I just kept getting an error.

Neither did the first way I tried fixing it, using the YOUNGBOSS786 Galaxys3_FLASH_to_boost_MMS_pictures_fix_apns-conf.zip

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sosmooth757:
Hey I think I have the same problem. I bought the S3 already flashed from someone and the data keeps going in and out. I got the phone with the 4.1.1 Rom installed and it has the 3g at the top but when I look at the Mobile Network Type it says 1XRTT:6. So I decided to try another rom and that actually shows 1x at the top and 1XRTT:6 under settings. Ive had 4 phones flashed to Boost before and never had this problem with the data and the person who flashed it claims its the tower and that I need to update PRL and Profile which I have done. Could this because the flash was not done properly and need to be reflashed? Any input will do. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] craig198:
try blanking out your profile 1 and just filling out profile 0 and do an update profile over wifi. Thats what I did and it worked on Sprint though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sosmooth757:
Okay thanks for the reply. But how do I find profile 0 and 1? Do I use ##3282#? Im not familiar at all with the flashing process nor the applications that are used. Also as of now Im getting a Error message saying that the profile or prl cannot be updated even when using Wifi.SMH....I also dont have the donor phone, will I need that to fill out Profile 0?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
If your profile 0 was setup correctly, then you don't need the donor. If update profile isn't working, dial ##yourMSL#, then put ten zeros for MDN AND MSID. Your phone will reboot. Connect to wifi then launch the Sprint Zone app and choose "Activate Device". This is another way to populate Profile 1 automatically.

If it does not work, most likely your Profile 0 wasn't setup correctly. You will then need the donor phone's profile 0 AAA key.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] izzox:
His profile 0 is correctly set up because he is getting 1XRTT:6 . and I suppose he can browse internet with his browser.

My guess is that he may be in an area not covered by the 3g, or hardly covered.

It used to happen on my flashed HTC evo; depending on the area I was I had 1X or 3G. I don't think that there is a 1X icon for the GS3, thus 3G icon will show permanently.

@sosmooth757

Try to update your PRL if it doesn't work, use a VZW PRL with data roaming enabled in your networks menu, and see if there is going to be any change.

I had four Sprint phones that someone flashed to Boost for me and the 3g coverage was good in majority of the areas I was in including my house. The rom that was installed installed on this phone when I recieved it, did not have the 1x indicator and it was only showing 3g but in the settings said 1XRTT:6.. So I installed one of Team Venum roms that has both the 1x and 3g and now I only see 1x and in settings it still states 1XRTT:6. I reinstalled Team Venum rom now Im able to update the PRL and Profile again but nothings changed. My PRL is 61009
