[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
You're trying to flash to Pageplus? Perhaps you'll get better assistance if you were on the right thread.

From the original donor via eitger dfs or qxdm

Connectbot

Can't find instructions to setup Connectbot. Would you consider posting instructions here?

Thank you,

John
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Instead of using ConnectBot, use Get My MSL. Instructions for using Get My MSL is included in the flashing instructions in my signature. It's much simpler to use than ConnectBot.

What steps did u take to flash? Did u flash nv items via cdmaws? I had the same problem. Is the phone still under warranty?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cyclonus23:
Long story but that won't be possible. Anyone know where I can find a guide to try to correct this myself?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warnereg:
Well it wont be possible to pull the keys off the siii, and unless u can get them from the original flasher you will need a new donor to activate and pull the keys from, the process is very easy. Try to find a boost sanyo incognito from craigslist or ebay, they can be found pretty cheap. Also the donor needs to be a working unit.

After you get a new donor pm me and I can guide u through it. Hit the thanks button if I helped.

DFS Profile problem

I have had something very strange happen on a phone I am trying to change to Boost. It's a Sprint SIII of course. Everything works for the flash except when I get to the Mobile IP tab in DFS. I can read from the phone but all of the Profile bubbles remain as blue question marks (?) that I cannot right click and get the menu/popup to Enable Profile I can select any of the bubbles for the different profiles and I can write anything I want to them but I am unable to enable any of them no matter what I do. I can also write anything I want to the Selected profile settings but, since I can't enable the profiles it does nothing the phone won't work properly.

If I connect my other SIII or even my old SII(epic 4g touch) they work fine I read from them and then I can enable and disable any profile I want with a simple right click and then left click to enable/disable.

I have tried older roms and kernals and modems and other than changing the Samsung password I have to use in DFS it changes nothing I am still unable to enable any profiles.

If anyone knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
U don't need that crap .... once u know how to do one phone the rest will be piece of cake! Everything is just copy and paste ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Had seen a similar issue with a couple of Verizon Note 2's. Wrote the profiles using QPST. Then DFS can enable / disable them afterwards.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
Thanks once again AlpineMan downloading QPST v2.7.378 hopefully that one works. Will report back after hopefully getting everything straightened out.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Everything worked great after writing to it in the M. IP in QPST.

Thanks again. :good:

I haven't used QPST in so long I had to think for a minute how to get it working and add the com port before opening service programming.

Will i lose my Boost flash

Will i lose my Boost flash by super wiping to flash other ROMs?.. currently using a Sprint GS3 flashed to Boost and rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] retailguy:
To put my siii back to factory and use again on sprint, is it as simple as:

1. Use DFS to rewrite the original MEID/ESN

2. do a factory reset ##786# from a stock rooted rom?

Will this restore the original HAA and AAA keys? I want to use this on a Sprint MNVO, now that my wife is going to get an iphone on Boost. :(

I tried to talk her out of it, but she has little silver apples in her eyes. <sigh>
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andee39:
I can tell you my experience. Someone flashed and rooted my phone for me. I don't know the specifics of how he did it (I think there are multiple ways to do it). I do have a donor phone. I was worried about losing flash (and root) myself and asked around on several forums and received very helpful feedback which told me I should be ok. (of course there is always the caveat that things can go wrong at any given time but we all know that going in) I have flashed 3 different Sprint S3 Roms (earlier version of Wicked, TPR and am currently on MOAR v. 6.0) and have never lost flash or root. I use TWRP and every time I flash a new rom I do factory reset 3x. I did have to do the MMS fix which is common.

Hope that helps! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MonsterBoX:
yes thank you... I also was flashing the MOAR 6.0... just wanted to be positive about it... was successful... have not done the MMS fix yet though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sameer1807:
i have a s3 sprint with bad esn. have cdma ws 3.9. will buy sanyo incognito. to successfully flash the s3 to the boost mobile, do i need to power up the sanyo, activate it and pull the esn and replace it with that on the bad s3 or anything else needed? sorry but im new and want to try if this works so i can use the phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JBillz:
Was there ever a fix or solution for this issue? I've searched the entire website for an answer, and I can t find one. I'm having the same exact issue with my phone. I flashed Wicked Sensations v5.0 MD4 and everything was working fine except for the occasional MMS fix, and my internet connection was showing 1x and moving at 1x speeds. I've been looking around for a solution for this for about two weeks now and I've got nada...can anyone help me out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LordLugard:
OK, the connectbot method should work rooted or not because it worked fine for me and I wasn't even rooted.

Another way is involving QXDM. I noticed you mentioned sending the Samsung password in CDMAWS.

Well, in previous scenarios, I sent the password first in QXDM, waited 30 seconds, shut down QXDM, fired up CDMAWS and then tried to read SPC. That worked for me too, but you can see how convoluted it is, hence the connectbot method is much easier and convenient.

As for your fear of rooting, it's never been easier, trust me. All I did was flash a stock rooted ROM (.tar) using Odin, painless, took minutes, and nothing gets messed with. It's a stock ROM, just rooted.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] E-POUND:
What worked for me was i had to root the device 1st the dowload terminal. Then dial ##3282# enter any 6 digit number, Then open terminal and type su then press enter then getprop ril.MSL and your MSL should be revealed. Its a post in this forum that tells you how to do it. You can go to search forum at the top and type in Get your MSL# on your Sprint SGS3. I tiried everything u tried at 1st then i searched the forums. Nothing worked but the method i just gave u.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
Anyone know of the s3 being flashed to metro?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] E-POUND:
When i type in ##33282# Nothing happens and im on stock. When i type in ##DEBUG# it says enter lock code not MSL and when i try to enter the MSL in that Menu nothing happens. I guess it takes a different lock code for me to get to the Menu you are talking about.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Platin465:
Faking it out first?! Yes! That worked! Dang, I may have read that somewhere... but I missed the importance of it if I did. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! By the way, there is no need to root, just give it a fake password before trying to retrieve MSL. I actually did it using ADB from my PC, but it's the same thing. I restarted the phone, and tried again without faking it out, didn't give me MSL. Put in a fake MSL into the phone, (##3282#, edit, type in random 6 digits, ok), then tried again and it works.

Thank you again! Now to figure out how to repair the MEID, I haven't seen that specifically stated anywhere for SIII, just the Epic. I've got a few guides for that, involving QXDM (but I can probably translate to DFS, does anyone know if it's the same? If not, any pointers to a guide? I mean, I've got a guide, it's 11 steps, but from what I can see, it's only showing how to put in correct info for voice & data; after the MEID is fixed.

Help again please? Somebody offered somebody else help if they could write a proper guide. I'm more than willing, I think I'm good at guides, screenshots and all if desired.

scratch the above, I'm fairly certain that it's the same as S2. If it's not and I brick my phone... I'll let you all know not to use the same guide.

Ok, the guide by chris41g worked fine, after which I continued with AlpineMan's 3g fix guide here, and all is working fine.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrkevo3000:
Suppose to be sprints new rev B service... Only works on phones that have revA:8 radio.. It is a feature that only the s3 and Evo lte has, although the nexus has lte I don't think it's capable because of the slower processor, I could be wrong with the nexus though but I haven't tested it!:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] domwin:
I wish lte would work on this just like wimax
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrkevo3000:
That would be super nice.... That's where gsm wins at... But I wonder if lte is going to run off subscription or just radio capability... But i'm leaning towards subscription.. That's why at&t & t-mobile charge extra for the 4G & Lte data even if you don't want cause if your phone is 4G/LTE capable then you get those speeds wether you want it or not... But if sprint does or is doing lte a different way then we will be in phone heaven:D

Samsung Galaxy S3 ROM ??

I just got this phone and it's on Boost Mobile. Time to break free tho. I understand

the rooting process BUT when I do this thing, I will need a ROM to install that will allow

a Hotspot connection which goes around the Boost denial of this idea (Hotspot).

What ROM will I be able to load that will allow a hotspot setup and connection. I just

got rid of my Venice for this reason (No ROM available).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hands down you should go with M.O.A.R. v7.0.1 it is absolutely the best!

There are a few roms that have hacked hotspot built in plus if I'm not mistaken, there is a hacked hotspot apk floating around however will have to agree with [MENTION=4953694]averyboots[/MENTION] and IMHO, MOAR is great.

3g issue

Hi guys. Maybe one of you can help me. I flashed an s3 to boost about a year ago and everything was working great. I used CDMA workshop 3.8 and an incognito. Yesterday I moved everything over to a note 2. The 3g light is on, and in settings it says evdo rev a and mobile network connected. But when I try to go online I can't. The passwords are there, and the phone shows the network is connected. I'm scratching my head. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at Sprint's new Framily Plan. As low as $25/mo. That may be your best option right now as opposed to flashing.

On a Serious Note:

I do need help with a Galaxy s3 from US Cellular. I have flashed quite a few phones, from old relics like the moto v3m to even a few sprint s3s. I have followed this thread and the other at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060085&page=96. But alas, I have come to the conclusion that his phone is a different breed. The setting would not stick at first. I have been using an incognito doner phone, dfs, cdma workshop 2.7 full and QPST. I would pay for CDMA WS, but its not guaranteed to work.

After 2 weeks and hundreds of pages later, I have managed to only get talk and text to work. I have manually programmed data profile but HA password will not stick. ABSOLUTELY NO DATA. I would like to be able to update the profile but the US cellular stock rom cant do the profile update. I don't know if I can flash this device with a sprint rom and maybe I can do the profile update that way, but I don't want to risk a brick if that can't be done. I think I would also have to flash the radio too then. There is very little to no info available for flashing this version of the gs3 for a family member.

Can anybody that has experience with the d2usc pm me or point me in the right direction.

Anyways, I appreciate those that have put many hours in these projects. This is a great community. This is my first post, but I am a long time lurker. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks

Resetting data

Hi,t

Was hoping one of my fellow Sprint S3 flashed to Boost users could answer two questions for me. My 3g has been a little iffy recently and I contacted Boost to see if maybe there was an issue in my area or if there was something they could do. They recommended that I reset my data by dialing ##455879#. I didn't do it as of yet because I'm not sure if it will have any impact on my flash to Boost. My phone was flashed using donor phone. Someone also recommended to me in another thread to dial ##72786# which is Sprint specific.

Two questions:

- has anyone ever reset their data on Sprint S3 flashed to Boost and if so, did you dial the Boost or Sprint series of numbers?

- most importantly, did it corrupt your flash?

Appreciate any help!! :D

I need the latest CDMA Workshop to flash. But it costs too much. Anyone got a workaround?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
yes juryrigger. Just use DFS. it can do everything you need and its free.

cant, i need the evolution version of DFS to do what i need, and thats $700!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Install the Speedtest app by Ookla available in the Play Store. Run a couple of speed tests and post your results here.

I've seen this happen to a couple of S3's. Turned out that Profile 0 got disabled for some reason. The other S3 simply needed to run Update Profile to refresh Profile 1.

What do you need to do that requires the evolution version? This thread is to flash a Sprint S3 to Boost which can easily be done using the free version of DFS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] juryrigger:
Not to thread jack, but trying to flash Sprint LG G2 (not much activity on that front, which is what brought me here), and after much trial and error, and some advice, it seems that Evo version DFS or paid version CDMA Tool is all that will work.

Your 3G looks to be normal to me. I wouldn't change a thing.

Perhaps Sprint is working on their towers which may be the cause of the inconsistent speed or other users that may be hogging bandwidth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andee39:
I thought for sure those numbers were bad but then again I really didn't know what to look for. : ) Boost said there were no issues with towers in my area and had suggested the data reset. Would you know if I ever had to do that if I would use Sprint or Boost# and if it would impact my flash to Boost? Was just hoping to get an idea about that.

Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Before doing anything, I highly recommend doing those speed tests you did. It is highly unlikely that your flash can get undone under normal circumstances. Doing a data reset... If I think I know what Sprint meant, is NOT a normal circumstance. This could certainly undo your flash... atleast partially.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andee39:

I had a similar problem with a Note II flash.

There is a box in DFS I think where I needed to add #777 (what sprint uses to "connect" to data)

I noticed it was "their" for the incog but not "their" for the Note II once I added it poof data worked.
