[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
I seem to be having the same problem as Copasta, I'm still stuck on 1xrtt:6 however I am running stock/rooted 4.1.1. Read the entire forum trying different things, probably a wrong setting somewhere. Everything BUT 3g works.

I have wrote hdr and hdr long passwords. Hrd sticks and is readable, the password for hdr long is unreadable, bad parameter, but im guessing that it wrote fine. Enabled prof 0 in dfs and wrote it. Entered nai, aaa, and ha (both the word secret and the real ha key) for prof 0 restarted phone, got error 67, updated prl and profile while connected to wifi. No luck. Also under about phone > status the prl version says 0 and on my way to grand rapids the other day I had almost no signal the entire way there on a major freeway so im willing to bet that my prl is messed. PLEASE HELP! 1XRTT IS HORRID!

Get a different browser or use a pc. I have problems with some text dialogs on the stock browser for whatever reason, try opera. Im guessing that its not letting you input text?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Copasta:
Can you help me too? I have all but given up on getting any kind of decent speeds.....ie.3G! Like Warnereg said, everything else works fine on the phone, but 3G is non existent! Every once in a while, the 3G symbol will pop up, but no arrows show up (like it connecting), and then it goes back to 1x again. I also can't get the HA Long to stick in DFS......I don't know what is going on with it! I hate to go to Boost and buy an S3 just so I can have 3G speeds again! I mean, the phone worked fine for almost a year on Wicked Sensations 1.2! As soon as I updated the ROM to WS 4.1.2, it 1x for me! Please let me know if you can help! Thanks a million in advance, if you can!!!! I'm looking forward to the possibility of surfing the web once again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
I get the 3g symbol and data activity, however stock 4.1.1 doesnt have a 1x icon in its glossary so it pulls the 3g icon by default, your rom must have a 1x icon which would actuelly be nice to have considering that newbs may think they have 3g but that it really sux. Lol.

But yeah, us two must be some rare birds considering that hundreds of others have gotten 3g working no sweat, I just cant handle the 1xrtt, great phone and all but nearly worthless on 1xrtt speeds. Pretty bad when you want to chuck a 400 dollar phone lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
What prl version does your [settings > about phone > status] show? Mine says 0, thinking that our problem is an apn/prl problem. Messed with the service mode shkrtcut app last night and got my phone to say it was logged into lte:14 and even obtained an ip adress, but gave no data,so I know the phone isnt just stuck on 1x and there has to be a way to get evdo rev a working. This has def been a pain but im not giving up in hopes I can offer a solution to this particular problem since its happened to us, maybe we can make others lives easier if they happen to run into the same wall.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Copasta:
I have a PRL 61010, supposedly the newest one for Boost Mobile! Before I flashed the new ROM, I had PRL 61009, and it worked perfectly with 3G and all! I don't understand how that would affect the signal, but then, I don't understand much about this anyway....that's why I'm on here whining! LOL!

Prl = preferred roaming list, lets the phone know tower capabilities based on your network and location. ;)

Best Rom For S3 Flashed to Boost

I just had my S3 flashed to Boost and was wondering which Rom is best for this device after being flashed. I believe I read somewhere that you can only flash certain Roms after it has been flashed to another carrier if you want everything to work. If anyone has any "sure" suggestions please let me know. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
which s3 did u flash the sprint of Verizon version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] devo3d:
Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RomsWell:
As long as you correct your apn after flashing everything should work. But since its a sprint model you might wanna find your roms in the sprint s3 area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] devo3d:
Is there a guide for correcting the apn on this device?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
On the the rom topic, I cant flash my sprint siii to anything prior to 4.1.1, it just hangs at the glowing samsung banner. Any reasonable explanation for this?

Thanks for your help, I'm new to this phone. I had to get rid of my Optimus G, having too many problems after flashing. I found 3 roms that may suit my needs so I will dl them tonight and figure which one I like best.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] docodine:
i have a question

i currently have a sprint LG optimus G and a boost galaxy S3, both clean ESNs. i'm willing to use the optimus as a donor

would it be possible to get the boost galaxy flashed to sprint? i've been doing research and people don't seem to be clear on whether or not boost to sprint works properly

i'd like some kind of confirmation if possible before i take the time to go through all the steps needed to flash the phone...

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Copasta:
Ok, so after over three weeks of trying to get help for my S3 that only has 1xRTT to get 3G working again, with only vague responses or nothing that actually works for my phone, I give up! It is time to either go spend the money on a new phone, or find another forum for help. Thanks for any "help" that you may tried to offer, but to no avail! Have a good day.....I'm off to Best Buy to spend hundreds of dollars! Anyone interested in a slow as h3!! Galaxy S3 flashed to Boost Mobile? :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
Its not necessarily anyone heres fault for not being able to help, im in the same boat you are and jusmejose worked on my phone via teamview and couldnt get it to work. I think where I messed up was loading nv items 465, 466, 1192, and 1194 from my donor to the siii, if I could get the original nvs for the siii I could probably roll back and get it to work, but im pretty sure no one would be able to give them to me since the siii nvs are not readable via cdmaws 2.7. I pretty much give up myself but am going to keep the phone, it works just slow speeds, dont have 100s of dollars to spend on a new phone, thats why im here ;) maybe one day...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
If you want to roll back your GS3, try this:

1) Put original MEID back and save it.

2) Dial ##786# (this will factory reset your phone)

You can use free version of DFS. I'm assuming you're on stock ROM. After the phone reboots, redo your flash. See if you have better luck flashing using my guide. Check my signature for link.

Thanks AlpineMan! Ill give it a shot later on today, ill odin back to stock 4.1.1, (I am currently rooted with twrp) and then reset meid and factory reset the phone. Would this update original nvs from sprint ota via towers?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
The ##786# is supposed to put original values back including NVITEMs as if phone just rolled out from factory.

You don't have to ODIN back to a fully stock ROM if you're currently on a rooted stock ROM with TWRP.

You can do what I did after i got sick of not getting LTE from boost and go with ting or expo (both prepaid will allow BYOSD) and get LTE but your going to pay more than boost
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] petermg:
I just looked up Expo, looks like their page is fake.. most of the site has what appears to be forms to fill out but the page is just one big JPEG!?!?

Very strange....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yearziro:
indeed....if you look at most of these MVNOs they have ****ty pages.... researched ting and basically everything i came across the only mvnos that allow the BYOSD are ting and expo thats why i mentioned expo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
So if I have a bad esn on the siii would I be able to write a different esn and be good to use ting or expo?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] retailguy:
The ESN has to be good to use Ting. Don't know about expo.

Servicemode shortcut app vs avout phone status

Found this while playing with the service mode shortcut app, says my phone is configured for evdo rev a and has prl 61010, however under about phone > status is does not reflect that whosoever, says 1xrtt:6 and prl version 0. See attachments. Edit: guess I dont have permission to post attachments.

I still havent gotten a chance to try AlpineMans approach, resetting the original meid and doing a factory reset and starting over. Thought this could possibly shed some light on the problem. Wrong baseband maybe?

Also device version says 4.0.4 in servicemode shorcut app and about phone says android version 4.1.1. Does this mesh at all. Flashing to 4.0.4 gets me stuck and the samsung banner and never loads, only have been able to load 4.1.1 successfully via odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
Finaly some progress, about phone shows prl 61010, but still on 1xrtt. The problem was with servicemode shortcut app, repairing nvs under utms and cdma must have jumbled something up. Did a factory reset and I kept getting the radio on off problem, the phone was trying to log into lte:14 which without credentials it could not so it kept retrying over and over. Went to servicemode shortcut app and set network mode to cdma only and it stopped the problem.

Now back to dfs, do I write ha keys in hex or string form?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
Pretty sure im just gonna pack this one in, got the prl part right but no 3g. Dont know how writing donor nvs could have messed things up but I guess some things are just out of my hands. Only thing I can think of doing is setting up my profiles opposite of what they are rt now. My data profile under ##3282# shows the ivractive nai not the meid nai. Funny thing about it is that my ping time went from 1500ms down to 300ms. If anyone has any other thoughts on this it would be appreciated, otherwise ill keep it as is and start saving for a new phone. Im at least half way there! Just too slow to tether. Someone out there has to know what the deal is, maybe ill be the first. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Did you do the ##786# reset after putting the original MEID back? I may have some time next week. I can take a look at what you have in a Teamviewer session if you want.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
Yes I did try that, didnt seem to change much. Phone went back to trying to log into lte:14. Biggest problem was repairing nvs with servicemode shortcut app, seems like it was knocking out the prl. In dfs on the nam tab I changed preffered mode from is2000 to cdma_hdr and the radio kept going in and out again, I guess thats what I dont really understand about this phone is why the radio goes in and out every ten seconds and then the phone will reboot on its own, until I get into service mode and set the preffered mode to cdma.

Also im open pretty much whenever and have teamview installed, would like to solve this issue for the rest of the world if it comes up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBlowpot:
He does not need to reset the MEID in order to regain the values associated with the original. It'll reset without doing all of that. Trust me. I've been doing this for some time now. ;)

Stock Boost GS3

Can a stock Boost Mobile Galaxy SIII be flashed to any other carrier. I just moved and have no reception on boost.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBlowpot:
Simply copying and pasting the values displayed within DFS from the donor should work. Only thing noticeably different is that one has to go to the Data tab under PAP. UID: samsung01@sprintpcs.com and Pwd: samsung. Add the appropriate information to HDR AN; as well as, HDR AN Long. Check "Authentication require password encryption" - everything else I'd identical to the donor.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
You can flash it to a Verizon MVNO like Pageplus, Straight Talk (there's AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon MVNO for Straight Talk), Selectel, etc.

Don't bother flashing to Virgin Mobile, Ting, etc... Which are Sprint MVNO's like Boost. You're gonna have the same poor reception.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] i_guana:
That's not really possible is it? I've always known that any phone designed for Sprint or Boosts network actually has radio hardware only compatible with Sprints network and cannot be used with any other carriers network (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc...) no matter what. Am I missing something here?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Yes, you're missing something. A Sprint GS3 phone can be flashed to Verizon and vice versa.

Hes just saying the sprint based networks wont help your service any. U can flash it to whatever you like. Just stick with using the sprint radio updates. But you can use whatever network u want for the most part. Just avoid sprint based networks since they have bad service in your area

Internet problem

Hey guys. Sorry to bug but I have a slight internet problem on my Sprint Galaxy S3 flashed to Boost. All was working great. I flashed the MOAR Rom and all was working great except for the internet. The 1x symbol would show, which I know is normal, but after maybe 60-90 seconds it turns into the 3G symbol. The problem is that the 3G symbol lays there dormant for a few seconds and then kicks me off completely saying that I have no data connection before the 3G symbol disappears and I have to wait, sometimes 5 minutes, before I can reconnect. I thought it was a a bad flash so I made sure to wipe everything again and reflashed but the same thing happens. Everything else runs perfectly except for that. I am using stock kernel. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gagnier27:
hello i want to change my galaxy s3 from sprint to boost mobile, but i am pretty new doing stuff whit phone, so can you give a simple way to do that, or one post clear describing how to do it

Got my phone back from Samsung warranty repair after dooking it up the first time by flashing nvitems 465, 466, 1192, and 1194 from my incognito donor to my sprint siii. DO NOT FLASH ANY NV ITEMS FROM YOUR DONOR PHONE TO YOUR SIII, ONLY INFO THAT NEEDS TO BE FLASHED TO THE SIII IS THROUGH QXDM AND DFS ONLY.

Anyway, I have EVERYTHING working now voice, sms/mms, and 3G! No more broken radio 1xrtt suckyness.

I do gotta say I did get lucky that my siii was still under warranty.

Special thanks to AlpineMan for his help and guidance with the warranty flashing stuff, and to Jusmejose for his help as well. And thanks to everyone who has contributed to this board making this process possible.

Only thing that I have an issue with now is twrp, gs3 toolkit looked like it messed up when rooting, now twrp is asking for a password upon startup. Guessing its a bad flash, gonna try it over on my xp machine and see how it goes.

Edit: upgraded to the newest twrp via odin, problem solved

Most of the time u don't need the NVitems .... im sure it had to do with your NVitems ....

What issues were you having? I've messed around with these nv items before on htc devices will no ill results.

465 contains the MIP profile date (xxxx@domain.com)

466 contains your AAA/HA keys,

1192/1194 contains information from the DATA tab of dfs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
Radio issues, I guess you could call it a radio brick. Radio turned on/off repeatedly, only way I could fix it was with the servicemode shortcut app and repair nvitems, but could still only get 1xrtt. Could not be fixed for the life of me so I rewrote everything back to the original values and sent it to samsung for warranty repair.

Seems to be a popular method with htc from what Ive seen, but seems to be a no go with Samsung. QXDM and DFS are easier methods anyway and they work. Guess I cant complain, basicly got a brand new phone (guts anyway). Works flawlessly now with amazing 3G speeds, just gotta do it right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
I wonder though, isn't dfs just updating the respective NV items when you make those changes through the dfs UI?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
I would have to imagine so, however im still a noob as to how all this works. I just know that flashing those nvitems messed it up beyond recovery. Samsung described the problem as "no pcs signal" and solved the problem by "replaced component - replaced component - replaced component" the phone also failed two quality assurance checks before they narrowed down the problem and it finaly passed. Definitely not an easy problem to fix, the screen is probably the only part they didnt replace, lol. This phone was nearly useless with 1xrtt, which way the only problem I had.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Changing those NV items should not have corrupted the radio. Before sending it back, did you try a full odin back to stock?

Maybe something else corrupted your radio in the process. Is your meid the same as before? I bet they just replaced the main board.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
Meid is the same. Had error 16 and didnt know it, couldnt make calls or texts but 3G worked, saw a guy on youtube flash those items (thought it could have been the step I missed, i was horribly mistaken) did it myself and bam, no more radio.

Accidently stumbled upon servicemode shortcut app and got radio functionality out of it again but could not get evdo rev a, 1xrtt:6 only vut everything else worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RomsWell:
Its a fluke. Ive flashed nv items to a sprint s3 about 100 times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
Perhaps it was a fluke, however I wont be doing it again if I flash another phone unless I absolutely have to. Qxdm and dfs make it a walk in the park.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cyclonus23:
I tried and completely the MMS/APN fix step by step and it did nothing for my internet problem although it did kind of tweak my MMS options. Anyone else know maybe know how I can fix my 1x/3g problems?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
Are you sure u got the right aaa keys/ ha keys and setting flashed to the phone? Have you flashed to stock to see if the problems persist?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cyclonus23:
I followed to steps to the letter on the guide that was given to me on the MMS link that I was directed to. When I flash stock the internet works perfectly fine. I hate to bug you guys but the internet lasts on average 60-90 seconds before it goes out again. It is beyond annoying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
One thing I've noticed recently is that when you do Update Profile, it disables your Profile 0...thus rendering your 3G data not to work. The fix is to simply re-enable Profile 0 (easily done via your favorite flashing app such as DFS). While you're there, might as well reflash your AAA and HA keys in Profile 0, too.

Ah! It's quite possible then that your phone isn't fully flashed to Boost if the flasher didn't put the right AAA key from the donor to your phone.
