Nevell I did that and still no go, I got 2 profiles exactly the same profil 0 active and 1 is just there, no action whatsoever. when i had it the way i normally do sprint phone i at least got the error code 67 or 131
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Are you not getting any data at all? Is your network mode set to cdma only or cdma and hdr only?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maxmk09:
No data at all, and cdma and hdr only
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Set it to CDMA only.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maxmk09:
Did that and still no data. Im flashing to vzwpp not pageplus
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Dang I need a new camera. Since my Old one broke this phone holding is becoming lame.

Doesn't matter where your flashing it to. Flash it to page plus to get data back working the reflash it to Big Red.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maxmk09:
Ill try that in the morning and let yall know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
How did you do it? I'm stuck. Got VZW GS3 flashed to Sprint but no data.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
The data profiles for Sprint are always the meid@hcm.sprintpcs.com
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
Yeah. But it was something else that I was missing. Thanks to ranchosteve's post a couple of pages back when he mentioned he used DFS and QPST to do it....it gave me a big clue. For some reason or another, when I did it all in DFS, Profile 0 and Profile 1 weren't sticking. Doing both profiles using QPST fixed it. I now have everything working on Verizon GS3 on Sprint. Ranchosteve is right...the VZW GS3 is a pain to program on Sprint...but it can be done. ;)

So thank you Nevell for starting this thread and thank you ranchosteve for the clue!!! I'll write up documentation on how to do this...not sure though where it should go. I don't see any of this flashing stuff in the VZW GS3 forums. I guess I'll put it up in the Sprint GS3 to Boost thread. The technique works for both Sprint/Boost...should work for any Sprint MVNO for that matter.

*** UPDATE ***

I spoke too soon. Everything works except for MMS. I used APN Backup & Restore to backup the VZW APN's. I used the app to restore my Sprint APN's to the VZW GS3. Not sure if it took or not, but MMS isn't working using the stock messaging app.

Hey can you make sure to link in this thread if you make a new thread? :)

So you have a sprint s3 flash to verizon (not Page plus) 805348A9 prepaid?

What cheap MEID donor and what vzw donor did u use? Sorry you will probably have all this info in your how to. Just remember to link us :)

Edit:

I just realized you said vzw s3 phone to sprint, and not the other way around. Oh well if you see anyone that's doing sprint s3 to vzw point them here maybe they'll help the community flow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maxmk09:
hey Zen_phones Im' flashing a Sprint GS3 to VZW prepaid but got no data, i got talk and text just fine. can u help me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
I am in the same boat as you my friend lol. Wait a minute, I thought you were the guy that had everything working a couple posts back? Iol.

This is becoming a way bigger trial and error window than I had anticipated. I'm thinking maybe flashing to Boost after all my prepaid mins are up and I have not gotten this done.

Does anyone know if a bad esn from Sprint is ok to flash back to sprint or boost with new donor? Sorry if that's a n00b question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maxmk09:
oh no i never got it working at all, just the error codes thats all

reprovisioned by accident

Nevell -- I had you flash a couple of Sprint S3 phones over to pageplus for me around the 1st of the year. They have been working great.

I kept having the Samsung update pop up and just kept ignoring it. My brilliant son thought he could fix it from showing up anymore by typing in the number ... ##72786# which apparently reprovisions the phone. My S3 now shows Sprint information in the phone settings and I am not able to make or receive calls or use data.

Am I totally up the creek and have to start over? can I make the changes by going into the ##3282# mode a make changes there?

HELP!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
It has to be flashed again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] idragoncell:
what Prl are you using? im on 51638 with 3g but my signal is non existent in my house and only one or two bars outside. im using a sprint s3. i also had a s2 on sprint flashed with 3g and was getting better signal with same prl.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] computersam001:
Confusion

I'll just start this off by saying that there is an incredible amount of helpful information in this thread, thank you to everyone that has posted!

That being said however, there is so much information that after reading through it all, I am very very confused and not entirely sure what to do :eek:

I purchased a used Sprint s3 today (it'll be here in about a week,) but I just wanted to start the ball rolling so I can get it flashed ASAP. A couple questions to start: which method results in the most reliable 3g connection (using donor phone or no donor phone?) The donor phone wouldn't be an issue, I have at least a dozen handsets that I think would suffice. Secondly, would someone be willing to help me with this? I would be willing to pay a little, but I just shelled out for the phone and this month's budget is getting tighter. I'm sure we could work something out, though (maybe a few phones to use as donors?)

Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
I think you have to know the MSL for the SPH L710 (sprint gs3). I like the i500 as a "friend."
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I personally do not use any donor to get 3G when I do flashes, unless at times a few of the USCellular S3 phones. They at times can be stubborn phones but not always....... my opinion of it is the phone that pulls the keys, instead of writing them to it seems to be more consistent.....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] computersam001:
Sounds Promising!

Ok, sounds good. Would you be willing to help me flash my phone once it arrives? (Or would it be a possibility for you to do it remotely?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Sure message me or Nevell one of us can help you out.........

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
Happy Father's Day to all of my XDA associates. Friends real and imagined lol!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] computersam001:
Flash Completed!

So, in conclusion, Mr. Viper32 is awesome, and the s3 is amazing! The actual flashing bit took probably all of ten minutes, but with the driver installations beforehand and me figuring out how to get it to work afterwards, it took a bit longer. My phone is now working 100% on PagePlus with full 3g (speedtest.net rated me at 1422kb down and 862kb up-pretty good for my area!) Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
What was that Verzion S3 rom everyone says shows the 3G icon with the sim out and mms works on ? I have a test phone I want to try it on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:

How do you get the qualcomm settings menu ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
Sent another PM....hey whats the deal with the MSL for the Sprint version. I couldnt get nothing to stick? The 16 pwd worked though showed unlocked...its cause I'm using DFS?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
I find that dfs is only good for writing the 10 key
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
Duly noted

In my opinion practically worthless besides that......

I have a sprint sph-l710 and CDMAWS v3.9.0. I can connect my phone and unlock it by sending the password but that is as far as I can get. Always getting an error message like "cannot read from the phone" Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or maybe a missing driver? I'm running windows 7 ultimate and have installed kies and odin, they are both currently installed. I can read & write to my thunderbolt phones, just not my SG#.

flash gs3

hey whats going on guys. I was wondering if anyone was up for flashing another GS3. I've tried the tutorials but to no avail any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Anyone else find that USCC S3 requires many many reboots to get things to stick? And some items won't stick no matter what...man I need some free help.

edit: GET DS_MIP_DMU_MN_AUTH	CPS_ERROR	BAD_PARAM

Can't read this setting. Can write it. After write, same error as above, either inactive parameter or bad parameter.

edit2: Can't get Simple IP Only to stick. Thought maybe I should flash it like a Sprint phone but that's a no go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Yes some of them do.

What phone is it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b3nman:
Verizon Galaxy S 3. THX!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
You have to set the phone back to RUIM mode using dfs. After that then the sim card can program the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] myeweb:
hey nevell, do i need to call pp to activate before or after doing these steps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Yes you need to activate a number on the meid first.

Is my phone flashed correctly?

I had someone flash my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 to Page Plus yesterday. Do any of these settings look like they are incorrect? The speeds seem very slow to me.

1. Under Mobile Network Type it will go between 1Xrtt:6 and EvDo-rev.A:8. Normally it stays on EvDo.

2. Signal strength is -87 dBm 4 asu

3. User name is my phone number [MENTION=536007]vzw3[/MENTION]g.com

4. PRL version is 65002

5. Device Status is normal

My highest speed achieved on 3g with this phone is 2.02 Mbps (Download). Normally it is less than 1Mbps. Ping is always around 100 as long as the network type is EvDo. When it shows 1Xrtt everything is much much slower. Most of the time YouTube videos won't play as it gives me a connection to server error.

Edit: Also the only way to get pictures to download through text messaging was to download the Verizon Message App from Google Play. Once the pic downloads through the Verizon app then it will show up on the normal text messaging app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] niner4life8:
Android Data Tools

There is an App that the person who flashed my phone left on here. It is called Android Data Tools. It is in my downloads folder as PhoneUtils.apk. If I click on the app it shows Universal tools, LG Tools, and Samsung Tools. Under Samsung tools I have 3 different options. Open multimedia Menu, Open Port Menu, and Open Diag Menu. Open Diag Menu takes me to the exact screen at the 11:21 mark of Nevell's S3 3G video. On mine though it has UART as the header with neither CMDA MODEM or PDA checked. Under Qualcomm USB Setting MTP + ADB is selected. If I changed it to what he selected in his video which is DM+MODEM+ADB would this change anything? Also should mine have PDA selected under UART? Thanks for the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
You only need the Qualcomm usb settings. Dm+modem+adb is diag mode which is needed to flash the phone. When your done set it back to mtp+adb
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b3nman:
I'm trying to use a fascinate as a doner phone. however when i write the esn and activate, i get no 3g. i checked the data prgramming and it is the same as before i flashed and activated. this is a fresh esn to page plus on freshly odin'ed fascinate. any ideas? thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
All you have to do is put the data profiles in on the fascinate and reboot then the keys will auto fill. When you put them in leave the passwords field blank.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b3nman:
ok so i just put MDN@vzw3g.com in all the UID and leave the passwords blank and do a reset and that will work?

thanks a TON!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Yes it will populate the shared secrets. Then you can copy them over to the phone your flashing

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dev777:
Flash using fla****now

I am an amateur flasher(sounds pretty bad eh). I have flashed a couple phones but only on when i had a step by step explanation of what i should do. I do not really understand all these screens in the cdma workshop and the effect all the changes are having on the phone. I decided to use a service on the internet because there was no step by step on how to flash a Verizon Samsung S3 to Page Plus. I used Fla****now. I tried twice with a technician there and they were unable to make it work after two hours plus of tries. They were very helpful but they gave up. They said i might want to hard reset the phone and try it again, which i did but it didn't work because i did not take the phone off pageplus first. If you want to use them-they are very reasonable in cost to use their flashing software, this is what you need to do.

First take the Verizon Samsung s3 off pageplus(call them and remove it from the esn of the phone, if it is currently on their service)

Take the sim card out.

Hard reset the phone(push volume up, power button and home button together)-this will wipe your phone

You must have an unrooted phone

After those steps go to Fla****now and sign up for the service

Follow their steps carefully and flash the phone

You should have talk, text and data and they give you an app to use for MMS ans SMS

Please note that the phone will still ask for a sim card when you boot it up-i have not figured out how to stop that.

The only problem i am having is getting sms notifications on the phone(sound and vibrations are not working)

Even though after at least two hours with them trying to remote fix my phone it did not work, i still think their service is usefull.

Try it out for size.

Any ideas on how to make my sms/mms give notifications????

i do an wondering whether moving to another app might work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
I used a bunch of modified ones I get from the Sprint versions of phones Straight Talk use.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robcop19:
So would anyone know how to get lte with a verizon phone flashed to metro? Its an s3 so it is lte capable. I actually got a metro sim card and now it shows I have 3G and i put in the new fast.t-mobile apn but I wanted 4G and picture messaging will work incoming but only half of the time and no outgoing

I though maybe messing with the bands in the service menu might fix something or help

Helpdesk.houdinisoft.com/devices/schi535-galaxy-p-654.html

I feel like there has to be some way to get 4g on phones too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Not compatible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robcop19:
I know that's what everyone says, including me, but I still feel like there's gotta be a way to do it somehow by flashing radios or changing bands or something. Maybe someone obsessive and stubborn enough might find some kind of miracle out there lol i wish i knew exactly how all that worked thoroughly from the ground up so I could be 100% sure
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JayHuang1:
Is that the Evdo prl that you were talking about on the Viper's thread? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madmatt2024:
Is the Galaxy S III flashing procedure basically the same as the one you would use for the Stratosphere II? My friend switched over to PP and bought a Stratosphere II without knowing about the problems associated with activating a 4G phone on PP and I would like to get it working for her.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Yes it's the same
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
thanks for this.

Viper32's PRL's are gone from his dropbox as of this posting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
I'll upload mine to my dropbox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jidcman:
If you have the Verizon flashed to PP and want to get rid of the missing Sim card message, all you have to do is turn on airplane mode, restart your phone, wait a minute so the phone reboots completely, then turn off airplane mode.

After that, if you happen to reboot your phone without being on airplane mode, missing Sim will reappear. Just repeat steps above.

This will probably work with the AT&T as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
I'm done flashing for the night so I guess I'll upload some new tutorial videos and make a few new threads.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b3nman:
so i'm trying to sell a verizon S III phone that i previously tried to flash to page plus on ebay and want it so that people can just use it on verizon. I changed back to RUIM-only. when i start the phone is still says that it's roaming but will everything go back to normal when someone who is actually on verizon activates it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
If you set it back to RUIM and put the sim in afterwards. It should work fine when a sim card is put in it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b3nman:
well i set it back to ruim only and made sure its a verizon prl but even with the sim card in, it have a roaming triangle and also continuously tries to activate (and fails each time). The sim card currently isn't linked to any verizon account, would that be preventing it from pre-programming properly? thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Yes you need an active Sim
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b3nman:
ok thanks. it should be ready to sell then. it should all be fine when someone with an active sim puts it in right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madmatt2024:
OK, some things seem different on the Stratosphere II and I'm not quite there yet but I'm close. One big thing is the *#7284# menu doesn't have the Qualcomm settings, you have to dial **87284 to get to it after you unlock it using *#22745927. *#9090# also brings up another menu but I'm not sure if its useful for what I am trying to do.

So far I have changed the settings in the Qualcomm menu, installed the drivers, have it showing up as "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port" in CDMA Workshop, I can connect to it, but I keep getting "Failed... Device does not answer" when I try to read the phone. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

What a pain. I miss my E815 that you could manually program and activate without a PC and software.

On a side note I wanted to try DFS but won't start on my computer and QPST can't see the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madmatt2024:
Still haven't made any headway. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, factory reset the phone, tried other USB ports, no dice. I still get "Failed... Device does not answer" in CDMA Workshop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
On what phone ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madmatt2024:
Stratosphere II.
