No need to roll back a complete ROM to get the Samsung password working. For Sprint GS3, flash the LG2 radio. For the Note 2, flash LJC. Been there, done it...worked like a charm.

My wife has a Sprint GS3 flashed for Boost that has worked well for the most part for a few months. Bought on eBay, couldn't send MMS when it arrived without using Go SMS. Found instructions online for MSL programming (or whatever) and it allowed her to use the stock TW app for MMS.

Recently though we have discovered she no longer receives MMS from anyone. She can still send them. I can't seem to find anyone on the internet that has had a problem only with receiving MMS. I'm confused.

Tempted to just blow the phone up and install a Sprint ROM. I haven't done any ROM installing on the phone since we bought it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
Use go sms pro works perfect
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spearoid:
The problem is receiving MMS not sending. I don't see how Go SMS is going to help her receive MMS.

EDIT: Realized I had the stock messaging app frozen through Titanium Backup. Unfroze it, all is well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
Yeah sorry bro ... I didn't read your post ... I though she wasent receiving mms nor sending

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] whitmerray:
Has anyone figured out how to get LTE working on a sprint S3 flashed to boost? Boost offers LTE now so there has to be some way to get a S3 to authenticate on LTE while on a boost account. Ive looked everywhere and cant find diddly squat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] retailguy:
Unless something has changed since I first understood this, I would believe you would need a donor phone that was LTE compatible. I believe that the LTE service has to authenticate a user name and password to access the network. Prices on those donor phones probably have to come down for this to be a viable solution.

I guess the other option would be to take a valid user name and password from a Sprint LTE phone. However, I have no idea if both phones could exist on the network at the same time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] whitmerray:
would the donor phone's lte password be located in prof 0 or prof 1? or something completely different? I thought sprint went with an internal microsim that has a unique ICCID attached to the meid and that's how it authenticates for lte only. It would still use nv for 3g and 1x. ??:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] retailguy:
since I've never seen an LTE donor, I don't know the answer to that. I've read the other thread (after I posted) in Q&A, and some of it is above my head. If it is an ICCID, I doubt you can do it.

If you can figure out how it works, I'll try to get it to work using my Sprint Galaxy Nexus which does have 4g. I'm thinking once the Galaxy S4 comes out, you might see the S3 on boost or virgin, making this whole issue moot. But that might be six months from now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] whitmerray:
Since boost has lte phones now I could try and use it as a donor, ONLY if i could change the ICCID on the S3 to match the donor. I have an epic touch 4g with 4g wimax on boost thanks to autoprime's wimax hack. That thing worked like a charm. Damn cricket already has the s3, and their s3 has a removable microsim for lte auth. I def dont want to wait six months, and I'm very reluctant to change over to a different carrier bc I have the max shrinkage on boost. I'm going to figure this out and when I do I'll come back and post a guide on how to do it.

just bought an LG Optimus V (Virgin Mobile) off ebay for $25 inc free ship (with clean esn)

i use windows 7 64bit on my laptop.

anyone know which drivers i can use to connect to the phone so i can get all the info i need to flash my s3 over?

i know i will also need the msl to unlock phone so i can see phone info with qpst or dfs but will i need another unlock code or password for anything else?

thanks for any info or any tiips anyone can give to make this process easier.

the Optimus i just bought yesterday so i think it wont be here until friday as its coming from washington state and im in iowa

Phone freezing and now Market crashing!

My phone has just started freezing during phone calls for no apparent reason and the only way to get it to respond is to take the battery out or reboot the phone altogether. Has anyone else had this problem and do you know of a fix? Also, I just noticed that when I when to open up the market I click and it's like the app isn't even there. but after a few tries, it will open the app. Then I go to put in something in the search and my phone is taking me back to my home screen! But when I go back in it will allow the search! Can someone PLEASE tell me what's going on with my phone? (S3 flashed to Boost running liquidsmooth official release)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
my VM Optimus V should be coming today (its going to be the donor phone) for use with my Sprint S3

what i want to achieve is to have sms, mms, net (3g wiimax?) and voice working.

another very important thing i would like to achieve is to make the phone work ok for the next person that gets it (i think i have to sell it as my motor in my truck blew up) piston broke and hit my head and valves in #7 chamber.

anyhow so would i "keep" my current sprint rom and disable it somehow from ever updating again or should i install CM and set it to only update with "stable" releases?

i just want the next person who gets this to have a trouble free activation process if they are noobs.

so if anyone can tell me what problems i could be facing (mms, sms or 3g) with the Sprint S3 on the VM network future proof kind of?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
You're going to use a "VM", I'm assuming Virgin Mobile phone, as your donor to make the GS3 work on Boost?

Sorry, I just reread your post... I got confused cuz this is the Boost flashing thread.

to my understanding both "Boost and Virgin Mobile USA" are sister companies of the SPRINT network.

so shouldnt be to big a deal right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
There are a few differences flashing to Boost vs Virgin Mobile even if they both use the Sprint network.

Have a look here. It describes both Boost and Virgin Mobile flashing. It's in the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 forum, but the flashing exercise is similar to a GS3. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060085

Can't get my brothers to update.

I switched to the number of the GS3, followed the steps as you posted, rebooted and tried to do a profile update and it keeps failing.

what the heck!!

Also if I do it the *2 way, it takes me straight to talk to boost mobile customer service.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
After I finish injecting all the stuff into the gs3 I put the phone into airplane mode and turn in on and then connect to WiFi and updates with no problem ... I only do this when the profile doesn't update ... Try this it might help you

What ROM and Modem are you using? So after you put in Airplane mode, reboot and connect to WiFi, are you doing an profile update or what are you doing to cause it to update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] whitmerray:
the new LTE phones will update profile over wifi as long as you have the meid and eSN correct it will update you do not have to worry about any nv files I just did this also set up profile 0 with your sprint ha/aaa to ensure the profile update gives you a true 3g not just 1x

still no info if you are on a "stock sprint" rom and change your settings to virgin mobile or boost and then take an OTA update or if you do a reset with ##768# or is it ##7862# (either way im talking master reset)

what happens after either of those are done after you have changed your settings with cdmaws or dfs?

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] whitmerray:
after you do a master reset it erases your data profile no matter what, your meid and ESn will stay the same though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetdaddy:
I think my problem might be that I'm rooted, on Blazer v2.1 ROM, which when I updated from v1.9 I had removed the SprintZone and now even when I flash it it's still not there. So maybe that's the beginning of my problem.

What ROM is everyone using when doing this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] whitmerray:
I did mine on the stock sprint ROM if I were you I would go back to stock sprint use sprint zone to redo activation over wifi and then go back to the rom that you like
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
im not 100% sure about that.

example i bought this SPH-L710 (Sprint S3) used from craigslist.

it has a bad esn and i knew it when i bought it becuase i usually just use it on wifi with skype but this whole last year i basically left skype in dust for google voice along with groove ip.

my point being i do not have cell service and when i do a master reset i still see my Mobile IP profiles populated with info in DFS

im on LJ7 rom so i can use the 16 digit password and i can also see info in the "data" tab

phone is always trying to activate and of course it gives an error and says it can not same thing if i try to manually update or update profile

so how is that info there if it wipes it out?

when i use EFS file explorer i could see info in nv item 465_1 and 466_1

466_1 is one of the "secret" HA or AAA keys and its scrambled with non hex/dec characters so not sure but the other profiles still say "secret" but with no info in them so i think it is correct.

anyhow im not sure if it all gets reset that is why im asking. it would be easy for me to tell if i did have cell service so i could just tell.

im prob gonna get Virgin Mobile for $35mo as its cheap

anymore info would be great
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetdaddy:
Alpine, I should be on NV Only correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] whitmerray:
That's the default sprint data profile information used for sprint to OTA activate a new handset, when I said completely erase it all, I was talking about anything you programed in. That's what happens on a stock rom and kernel, I don't like changing roms so I don't really play with that end all that often.

I just bought a used sprint GS3 and have everything on it set up except lte, so its collecting dust on a shelf until i figure out the lte issue. But when I did a ##786# reset the data profiles were populated with some random crap (something)@hcm.sprintpcs.com that I didn't program in there and it was def not a persons name or phone number.

How did you get your GS3 to work with EFS file explorer??, I could not get QPST config to recognize the phone for diddly. It knew that I had a phone connected and online (after I added the port) but would not let me use and Service programming, EFS, or QXDM. I was stuck running all my programing through DFS in demo mode, which really really sucked.

When you do ##786# it resets everything unlcuding the profile .... I usually just do reset from settings .....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
use dfs to send the "16 digit password" to unlock the phone

fire up qpst and make sure phone is connected and in diagnostic mode.

open up efs file explorer and enter the SPC code.

should be working pretty good.

cant do a qcn backup but the efs explorer works for pulling data (copy file to pc) by dragging and dropping and i "think" it can drag and drop from pc to efs explorer too (write to phone)

im using qpst 2.7.378 i believe and i think dfs 4.6.4.1

i have QXDM 3.12.714 and its extracted and when i goto the bin dir i can run all the .exe files normally except QXDM.EXE

it gives me an error about "error: initializing item store manager. (one or more arguments are not correct)

can someone help me with this?

thanks

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

so after the "##768#" should the phone re-generate the HA and AAA keys automatically (without cellular service BUT within range of towers?)

i do see the signal strength of the cell tower antenna in notification area i (do) also see the 3g notification come on and start showing the up arrow and down arrow activity lighting up.

so it is "talking" to sprint but is it doing anything that puts data on the phone even when it can NOT activate?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetdaddy:
OK, so it seemed like it was activating then all of a sudden it gave error 67, then the phone bars disappeared and now all I get is a circle with a angled line thru it.

I've reset it.

I've tried Odin back to the latest stock Odin release, and get the same results.

In fact I have Odin'd 3 times, wiped cache, factory reset and did back to the latest stop L710VPBLJ7 JB 4.1.1

HELP?

Any idea's who I can get bars back and not this circle with the line?

Thanks in advance

Now pressing forward to try again to complete the flash to BM

Good day,

Noobie doesn't begin to describe me. I just want to stop these update notifications on my phone and I've been trying for over a month with different instructions which usually ends when what I'm looking for isn't in the place where the directions said it was.

So five months ago I bought a rooted Galaxy S3 4.1.1 off eBay that I use on Boost mobile network. It was working when I got it in the mail and it still works great. Tried to contact the person I purchased it from but no reply. I like the phone the way it is, not trying to do anything fancy. Can someone please just lay out in simple (idiot) steps what I need to do to stop the update notifications that would be great? Thanks.

OK Let me start over. I thought I knew what a root was but apparently I don't. According to Root Checker, my device is not rooted. My device is not rooted, I do not wish to root it if it's not already rooted. Don't know how to root. I just want to get rid of the notifications the simplest way possible.

Autoprime :)

come on mang

this 16 digit code only allows us to change a couple extra settings (with roms newer the LJ7)

we can change those exact same settings with the "older 16 digit code" and firmwares LJ7 and before.

the newer 16 digit code that you said you were gonna give out to all of us 2 weeks ago is 2 weeks overdue.

hanging onto it does not do anything speciail except makes us all have to flash an earlier firmware so we can use the older 16 digit code then make our edits then flash new firmware and bam back to good.

it would be nice if you posted it so you could save us all the trouble from having to jump through hoops (which we all do if it means having to give out $$$ for the newer code you have)

no one wants to pay $$$ for something we can do for free already.

Yeah saw that a while back. The i920 isn't in there. I believe the Samsung passwords in CDMA WS is stored in a text file. Perhaps someone who has the app can grab it and take a look.

I downloaded the demo version of CDMA WS. The passwords are stored in the file "custom_passwords.txt". Unfortunately, the demo version doesn't have this file populated. So whoever has the paid version of CDMA WS, if you can upload the file here, that'd be great...or atleast just share the password for the Samsung i920.

Hi, everyone -

I just got a Sprint S3 flashed with stock 4.1.2, and I'd like to flash it to Boost Mobile...I read through the thread looking for answers, but everyone pretty much knows what they're doing.

What Im trying to get at is, is there like a set how-to guide on how to go about flashing the s3 to Boost Mobile?

See, what I'd like to do is transfer my Boost Mobile account from my Galaxy Prevail over to the S3, and I figure it'd be a lot easier to do so with a Sprint phone.(I read about donor phones, which is why I mention it).

I sincerely apologize if I'm insulting anyone's intelligence here, but compared to simple flashing the T-Mobile S3, I'm kinda a lost noobie with this one.

Any help'd be greatly appeciated.
