[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Not sure how long you have been with sprint, but these speeds have been normal on sprint 3g for over a year now. It's ridiculous that Sprint hasn't fixed this yet.

You can get your MSL from Sprint. You can try calling, but I find that chat is the most effective. Sprint doesn't like to give the MSL out, but the chat reps are all from India and are easily persuaded. Just tell them that another rep told you to get the MSL so you can reprogram your phone.

Post 3 in that thread is what I use to change mine. We used to be able to do it right from the phone by dialing ##775#, but since ICS was released we can't do this anymore. Just be aware that you probably will need to enter your msl and not the 000000 that the steps say.

As long as you don't change anything other than the prl, you won't have anything to worry about. Just make sure you Read from Phone, browse for the prl file, and Write to Phone, and nothing else. If you want to go back to a sprint prl, you can get one from that thread, or just go to your phone settings, System Updates, and update PRL AND Profile, and you will be back to sprint. Or you can just Write to Phone one of the Sprint prl's from that thread, just make sure it's one for the Evo 3d and not another phone.

Any other questions, just let me know.
[HTC EVO 3D] snokarver:
Thanks much. I've been with sprint for ~10 years... 3G usually isn't this bad for me, but I live in a wimax area so I don't notice 3G a whole lot. I wouldn't be surprised if a class action lawsuit comes of this. Obviously one of the ways of limiting data is to control bandwidth... and that's what sprint is doing, yet advertising "unlimited data".

I'm trying very hard not to have to call Sprint, but I might just have to do that. I've been working on this for the last 5hrs straight. Biggest hurdle is getting the MSL. getprop ril.MSL didn't work. I can't get CDMA Workshop installed - every time I extract the RAR it has an unexpected end of archive. I've downloaded it on two different systems (OS X and XP), tried multiple extractors (unrarx and winrar)... same outcome.

I'm glad that just using the phone's UI to update the PRL will reset it to Sprint. One of my issues is the steps in that thread to pull the PRL don't produce a .r0l file. But now I think I'll just ignore that.

Thanks again.
[HTC EVO 3D] snokarver:
Thus far, I haven't been able to get the MSL from Sprint. They're telling me they don't even have access to it :(

Finally got CDMA workshop extracted... crashes on boot on both my XP and Win7 VMs...
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
If you are unlocked, you can flash a custom recovery using fastboot, then flash superuser using your custom recovery and then MSL Reader will work.

Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] snokarver:
I finally got someone at Sprint to give me the MSL number. Used it and successfully updated the PRL.

Unfortunately, with 0002 my signal was actually worse. ~1000ms ping, 60Kb... Then, a few minutes later it switched itself back to Sprint. I thought it was supposed to stay with Verizon. Will have to keep trying.
[HTC EVO 3D] snokarver:
Well, I did the HTC unlock but, unless I'm mistaken, that doesn't really do anything. I can't get s-off without bricking it and following that process. I haven't done it yet as I haven't had time to research just what bricking it takes. I have (well, mostly watched a friend) root a EVO 4G... that was a lot easier.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Hmm, it might be a problem with your phone's radio. In my area, 80% of the places I use the Verizon prl, I get 5-6 out of 6 bars. Since Verizon uses a better frequency, it's much easier to get a full signal especially inside buildings. Speeds for me on Verizon average 1500kbps or so. It's pathetic that I can get these speeds on Verizon and not get above 100kbps on Sprint even with full signal.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
If you are unlocked (but still s-on), you can flash custom recoveries and ROMs (and mods and themes). You just cannot update radios, firmware, and hboots without first relocking and going stock. If you are s-off, you can. Have you heard of the wire trick to obtain s-off? It takes most people like five minutes once they are setup and does not require you to brick. Having said that, I downgraded by bricking since that was the only option at the time and it was pretty straightforward.
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
I just nandroid back to GB ROM & do the ##775#, change my prl & nandroid back. Running 00002 on cm9 now.
[HTC EVO 3D] snokarver:
I was finally able to try out several PRLs... turns out the nearest Verizon tower I can connect to is actually farther away and slower than Sprint's. There's a new Verizon tower that's nearby, but none of the PRLs I tried (eg 00001, 00002, 01337-mod...) would connect me to it.

Ohhh, for some reason I was thinking I couldn't flash recoveries with s-on. Can I use tools like superuser, setCPU... with s-on?

I haven't heard of the wire trick. I had been planning on following this guide when I had some time http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1547695 but if you know of one that takes 5 minutes, please let me now where I can find it. (I'll search for it too.) Hopefully it doesn't require CDMA Workshop because on both systems I've tried (XP and Win7) it crashes on startup.

Edit: Ok, I found it. Will look into it more when I have enough bandwidth to watch video.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
I started to do that, but it just takes WAY too long to do all that. It's much quicker to do with QPST on a computer. However I will do that once in a while if I'm stuck away from a computer and need to switch PRLs.

Yea, the 0001 prl is a few years old, and the 00002 one is probably over a year old now. Hopefully someone will make a new one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santhoshkcsk:
Hi, I am using a galaxy s3 recently purchased from Singapore but had a UK firmware version in it, since i bought it cheap from a local dealer who sells a of these European phones here.

I am not a noob, but not a great developer though, u can put me somewre in the middle. What happened is, i downloaded a S3 firmware and flashed it via ODIN. The silly damn mistake i did was, (seriously, i was outa my mind) i put the file in phone instead of PDA in ODIN.

But wen i flashed it once, i realised i did a mistake and changed the file from phone to PDA and everything went off perfectly. Except now, there was no service in the phone. The SIM was inside and worked perfect with other phones, but no other sim worked in my phone.

I took it to a local repair shop, coz der is no warranty for the phone. Since he is a friend of mine, he has ordered the SIM card Unit and is trying to replace it. Now, during the first day i got the phone i rammed it with a sharp pin when tryin to insert the sim, jus when i was opening it in the shop. It got remedied instantly and after tat the SIM worked fine.

Now after the did the wrong flash, everythin in the phone works except der is no mobile network. Is it because i flashed the file wrongly ? Or is it could be the hardware issue that happened earlier repeating again ?

Thanks for taking ur time to read this and supportin me !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
Maybe you can try to reflash stock kernel via odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santhoshkcsk:
Thanks ! But....

Hi, this whole thing started when i tried to flash stock via ODIN. the phone was rooted and i wanted it to unroot it, tatz wen i did all dis.

is der something like a full flash ? I mean a total flash, I remember doin it once in my galaxy s2. Filling up files in all four i.e,. phone, PDA, CSC and modem ? Will that help ?

THanks for ur time !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
just a little thing: flashing a stock rom on the SGS3 will not perform a factory reset

Just to be sure that all is good: flash stock rom with odin and then make a factory reset in stock recovery

Do not forget to backup your apps and data before doing it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santhoshkcsk:
Can u guide me to ?

Hi, Can you provide me some link about steps to do a factory reset in stock recovery ? Thanks !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Easy:

-start in recovery (volume up+home+power)

-select "wipe data/factory reset"

-wait for it to be done

-resart your phone

Just do not forget:

-it will erase your installed apps

-it will erase your contact

-it will wipe your internal storage

-you will have to do the "first start settings " thing (wifi, google account,...) as if your phone was brand new out of the box

So do not forget to backup all things you want to keep
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santhoshkcsk:
I had the same firmware version as urs... I can see it from above ! I downloaded the same version from android firmwares.net and flashed it wrongly and tatz wat messed it up all.

I actually did the same steps as u mentioned above ! Is tat wat u call a full flash ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
-flash your rom with odin (single tar file as PDA and DO NOT check repartition)

-let your phone restart

-shutdown your phone

-follow the step from my previous post

-restart your phone

-do all the "first start settings" stuff

If you still have your issue, post here but at least we will start with a clean base
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santhoshkcsk:
What is the flash with loading files in PDA,phone,CSC and modem called ? is it possible for a flash like tat ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
You need a three part rom to do that but it is not very easy to found them for SGS3

The step I gave you should do the same thing with a single part rom as PDA
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santhoshkcsk:
Thanks man ! I shall try it out and revert back :)

Hey today i took it to another mobile shop were my friend said as "tech expert" ! D guy told d phone's network files been corrupted and needs to be changed. I dont knw what he did, but he has installed XXLEF version and done CWM.

But still when i look into the about phone --> Status, it doesnt show the network name and phone no !

You are missing the cool features of sgs3.

Swype from left to right or right to left with palm of your hand. That's how you take screen shot. Like you scan a page.

Yeah, but if you have folders open where you want to take a screenshot of the content swiping the hand doesn't always work (the physical touch on the screen closes the folder). For this I use the two button method.

Ordered mine at B&H for $499 for 32Gb model. Shortly after they realized the mistake and relisted it at $549. Hopefully they still honor the price but given the reputation of B&H I dont doubt them.

Edit: Well they changed my order to 16Gb and listed it as on back order. Trying to get some answers from them now but it looks like they won't honor their price.

Well they admitted the error, the best they could do was to split the difference. Hopefully they send me the right tablet.

I thought B&H was meant to be reputable. Is this a one off or do they generally not know what they are doing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Entropy512:
That's a one-off error - they usually are reputable. I've spent thousands of dollars with them on camera equipment over the years, never without any issue.

Even Amazon (reputable) will cancel orders of accidentally mispriced items. The "stealth change" is a little unusual for B&H, I would've expected cancellation from them in a situation like this.

I think the answer could be the following:

"I ordered a Galaxy S III 32GB Internal memory phone. I received a 16GB Internal memory phone and a 16GB external card. said "32GB Internal memory does not necessarly means 32GB Memory on the motherboard, since 16GB card also means internal, external would be if you connect USB to it and have memory on USB." Luckily it was still in new condition."

Right, it could be a trick. That's why I said "appears"... But one can always ask the sellers directly, to clarify, if interested...

Verizon 32gb blue, rooted running Synergy v1.6.

So, I was downloading an attachment from Gmail, and once the download started, data dropped momentarily (office has poor coverage). So I had a notification that showed the file was in the process of downloading. Once data re-established, I successfully re downloaded the file. However, the notification that shows the file downloading, is stuck in the notification bar. I rebooted, rebooted into recovery to wipe cache and davlik cache, wiped Gmail cache in app manager, and still no luck. Really don't want to have to restore a back up just because of a stupid notification. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Why would you want the motherboard back when the most important thing on it (the NAND) is stuffed ? Not like there are any other parts on the board 99% of people would be capable of replacing themselves/canibalising to use on another phone.

And for the same reason, they're not going to put a 2nd hand board 'on resale'. Yes it will probably get recycled (depending on the country) like any other electronics. Which means being 'stripped' of the metals within the board/components & those will end up as scrap.

Oh yes... I was thinking about the same thing.. my data on internal storage. I was gonna try to retrieve it somehow :P Anyway now when you have mentioned its inaccessible I am relieved ;) Yet I'd have loved to keep the m/b as an antique on my desk :cool:

It's very difficult if not impossible to port stuff from old Sense versions to Sense 4.0/4.1 because they require the old Sense framework which differs from the one Sense 4.x uses.. So the chances are that you will never see the very same HTC clock widget from Sense 3.x working on the new Sense framework.. but there are many alternatives that are pretty similar on google's play store.. though they are not as interactive and polished as the Sense widget itself.
