So I just moved to US and my brother got my the worst Sprint phone ever. I seriously want to upgrade. I had a look at the Sprint store and I am eligible for the upgrade in 2014 which sucks. I can buy a replacement phone from Sprint but they have super crazy prices over there.

So my next option was to buy a used one online. So I found some great deals for used ones and I am satisfied with them. But here comes the dilemma.

My friend told that I could get a TMobile Sim card for a $0.99 (http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Prepaid-SIM-Activation-Kit) and then use any GSM unlocked phone.

So the Question is whether I should switch to tmobile and go pre-paid OR buy a used one right now and then after 2 years be more happy!

What would you guys do?

Thanks

You can't use a T-Mobile SIM card in your Spirit phone so either way you need buy a used phone. (Whether it's a Sprint compatible one or a T-Mobile one). Personally, I hate CDMA phones. I'd go with T-Mobile.

Have her download and install a different dialer and see if that works. Just search 'Dialer' in play store and pick one that has good reviews.

My S3 had a failed install and now the screen won't turn on. If i can get it to connect to Odin then i can fix it, but i can't. One of the people on the other similar thread said to PIT it? It makes a noise when i plug it into the computer, it just doesn't pick up in Odin. Really need some help here it's the verizon SCH 1535. Taking any suggestions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
How was your install failed? What were you trying to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kylewiddz:
I was trying to install a new rom. I was on stock and it started installing but then it said something was wrong with the zip. So i hit reboot phone and it went straight to where its at now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
I meant which rom :P. It's kind of important.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kylewiddz:
Oh crap... It's Criskelo I downloaded it on my phone and I can't remember exactly if i got the one for the sch 1535

(also I have to wait 5 minutes between each post because im new...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
You can only flash ROMS made for YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL. Just because it's a Galaxy S3 ROM doesn't mean it's okay on your phone. You need one for your specific version. I don't know what Criskelo is, but I have never head of it.

A quick search pulled up this:

Criskelo ROM for Rooted Galaxy S3 i9300!

If you want to know which ROM I am running on my Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 right now, it’s this Criskelo ROM.

(PLEASE DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM ON U.S. or Canadian Galaxy S3s! PLEASE!)

If you did indeed flash an international ROM on your phone, it's probably a paper weight at this point. Go to mobiletechvideos and spend $60 to get it jtagged. Do some research before flashing next time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kylewiddz:
SHIIIZZZ i see that now... I just want some clarification on that other thread i posted about it said that a PIT would work? Is there anyway to get that for a stock sch1535? I think thats my last hope as it sounds... also thank you for helping i totally didn't realize what i was doing til now... hindsight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
I'm pretty sure most international roms make a dometic S3 completely unbootable. I don't think you can even boot into ODIN to flash anything. Looks like you've tried. I don't think a PIT file will help, especially if you can't make it into ODIN to flash. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kylewiddz:
Im gonna throw up... I'll fiddle with it. that pit thing sounded like it would pull it up though i just can't find a download for it. I think my lucks run out on rooting... thanks for the help though

Wow thanks man you're on the ball. alas, I fiddled with this one as well for a bit still a dud
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
I figured as much. I'm pretty sure you'll need to get it JTAGGED. Mobile Tech Videos is a reliable vendor for this, and the only one I know if. Wouldn't trust anyone on ebay.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kylewiddz:
So I bought a JIG whatever that is... do you think that I should wait for it to get here It seemed like in a video i watched it pulled up download mode immediately I'd hate to drop 60 bucks just to find out my 5 dollar fix would have worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
Kylewiddz, that 32Gb PIT file previously mentioned was mine. Hate to break it to you, but it sounds like you'll need a JTAG to bring you back. If you wanna try the jig, sure, give it a shot. Even if it doesn't work, with this particular bork, they do work and they're nice to have around. Either way, Josh at the aforementioned MobileTechVideos.com is the bomb. $60 is better than buying a new phone (or committing fraud by taking it back for warranty). Good luck, buddy (make sure you learn something from this ;)).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kylewiddz:
The website looked really good, but the 60 dollar price tag is just enough to make me wait for the jig to get here. But if (most likely when) that doesn't work, they'll be gettin my business for sure. Moral of the story: I'm an idiot Thanks to everyone who helped
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
At least you realize that ;) hope you can get it fixed. Make sure you read, read, read before you flash.

And read it again after you read it the first 3 times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kylewiddz:
Yeah, it's a hard lesson to learn when you've had the phone for less than a week:crying: The jig said 15 days to ship so I said screw it and just got my order done on the previously mentioned website. It was phone or Resi 6... anyways feeling much better about the whole situation knowing that I'll be up and running sometime in a week. (I came from the droid x which to my knowledge there is only one droid x type of rom, the whole multiple types of S3 that there are just went right over my head till I did some heavy reading post mortem:crying:) Also I feel like I can't over state the whole :crying: thing haha oh well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
Don't feel too bad. I hard bricked my phone twice in the first week. Fortunately, I live within driving distance of Josh, so my waid wasn't very long (I think I'm the only walk in customer they've had;) ). Live and learn. Barring physical damage, everything is recoverable.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
"I got nothing" You couldn't get into download mode, or your computer doesn't recognize the phone?

If the latter, (and you probably should anyways) I would clean up your computer by uninstalling Kies, the drivers, and start fresh with the phone in download mode before selecting drivers. The device manager in Windows might help (right-click on "Computer" and select Manage, when the window opens, click on Device Manager in the upper left pane, as I recall)

(or just give in and go with Ubuntu ;))

You have to plug a cable from the pc into the jig. I think.

Or when you plug into pc the phone must be off with volume buttons held down.

i've tried that a couple of times but the the phone starts charging when i do that

Also. The back of your phone looks different. I dunno maybe you got a bigger battery or something but it doesn't look like a galaxy s 4g. Maybe a blaze or a vibrant

Ya looks like a vibrant to me at 1:19 into the video when you see the back, it has the full back, textured finish,

VIBRANT S

GALAXY S 4G

Looks like a vibrant to me. Of course if he flashed the bootloader, the screen is going to say 959V GALAXY S 4G like it does earlier in the video, but I think you flashed the wrong ROM and bootloader for the wrong phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MYQ0tHg8k4
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
OK so if you plug the jig into the pc and then the pc into the phone it just charges?

Also do you not have a normal looking micro USB like the one that came with the phone?

It's also possible your USB Jack is messed up on your phone.

So. From the beginning get the normal charger for your phone and turn your phone off and hold the volume up and down buttons and plug into pc. If that does not get you into download mode then do that and pull the battery and stick it back in while holding the buttons with the phone plugged in. If that doesn't work then maybe try the jig with a normal USB plugged into pc. Then post a video of these things not working.

I have seen the galaxy tabs and various other Samsung devices do the same thing. In your last video when the battery disappear from the screen and goes blank it could possibly going into download mode.

Can't remember if you said or not but when using heimdall you have to install the zadig drivers unless Ben changed his program to not use them

Try the 2nd method if that does not work try power & volume down to try to get into download mode.

One more method that might work. Hold volume down plus the home key and then power on the device. If none of those don't work you might need to send it to someone who has a jtag box to get it backup and restored.

Samsung devices can be temperamental at times.

Post a video if you can or just send me pm of the video link

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djmxp:
"daxecutioner24" This is what i did

"One more method that might work. Hold volume down plus the home key and then power on the device. "

as far as i know you have to have a USB directly connected to computer in order to flash heimdall. Thnaks TwitchyEye, I'm going to try to delete all the USB drivers,
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jkurl:
You need to be hooked up to your computer via usb to use heimdall or Odin.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
WATCH TELLING PEOPLE THIS.

The T959W version from Wind and other companies in Canada is a "W" and has a different bootloader and no one, afaik has flashed the "V" bootloader yet, so telling anyone with a SGS4G to just flash a bootloader isn't good advice. Obviously from the video he in on TMobile and has the V, but still just an FYI, us Canadians have a "W" model that the ROM is exactly the same and every ROM, Kernel, Etc can be flashed no problem to a "W" but the bootloader is in question. I would even do the unbrickable mod and try it on mine, but I have no "W" bootloader to flash back to if it didn't work. I am trying to get a kies tarball from Wind but they customer service aren't the brightest and don't have a clue what I'm talking about.

Hello all, I think this is my first post ever on this site.

Anyway this is a post for a friend of mine at work with a gnex straight from Google play unlocked and 16gb. he is on straight talk with the att sim as we don't have t-mobile in our area (unless we wanna roam like the Gnome :P ) and he gets about 1Mb down on a good speed test, which i said is good, but he wants to fly like the wind consistently and possibly at a faster speed.

we know att has that HSPA+ which is i think the fastest thing they have that's not LTE.

he is currently only able to connect to HSDPA

i told him it may not just be in our area cause i told him we were lucky that Verizon even made us an initial launch city for their 4g lol

but he believes there's a way

well we read up and found that hidden menu with those test settings where you can change the signal to like gsm only, wcdma preferred, etc.

and we played around with those and they all set us at HSDPA when their strength reached max (except gsm only which only got on the EDGE signal which was just horrid lol)

i found a thread on here with radios we could flash to it to see if that helps any but he doesn't wanna root till his phone till the warranty is dead, which is a year from like a month ago.

i guess in summation were wondering if there is anything he can do to optimize his phone one straight talk so he has the fastest connection possible with an att sim without rooting it. And if not, was i right about the radios or is there anything else we should look into

any and all help is appreciated thank you kindly
