Use ND8 custom ROMs. There are no NJ2 ROMs as it is a relatively pointless update. Both of the ROMs in my signature have the NJ2 security updates which are the main chunk of the update.

Hardware or software

I recently blew out my display and digitizer. I bought a refurbished S3. The new S3 seems to lag and hangup which doesn't bother me because I could always just swap out the screens with my previous phone if needed. But I'm interested in flashing and rooting and I now have a spare phone to learn on. Now to my question. Is there a way to determine if the lag in the device is a hardware or software issue? Also, is there a sure way of wiping the new device to make sure there isn't anything on there that may have been left on or installed before shipping it to me?

Thanks

ok guys, im still a noob but i have read a little of this topic, so i will make the question again (now i can explain myself better):

if i install any custom firware (for this phone not the gsm versions) will i lose the nam programming (the particular carrier configuration)? im asking this question because im from venezuela, and bought a galaxy s3 shp-l710t from sprint, made the mistake and didn check if this phone was gsm, it is cdma, so after reading a lot of tutorials i made the nam programming, so my phone have a working phone number, voice, sms and data (evdo) working to the crappy venezuelan cdma carrier called Movilnet, rooted the phone, disabled knox, froze a lot of samsung apps, blah blah blah etc.... if i install via odin or via recovery any custom firmware like cm12, or the lollipop firmwares do i lose the nam parameters? do i need to program the nam to my carrier after that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
If you flashed a Lollipop ROM you need to wipe the internal SD.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] octantcomp:
I need to ask this : i have two sprint S3 L710, the spec from gsmarena is :

Network Technology CDMA / EVDO / LTE

2G bands CDMA 800 / 1900

3G bands CDMA2000 1xEV-DO

4G bands LTE band 25(1900)

Speed LTE Cat3 100/50 Mbps, EV-DO Rev.A 3.1 Mbps

GPRS No

EDGE No

Now my country CDMA network said they will expand later to : tdd lte 2300, fdd lte 800. My question is, will this L710 can be use for that?

And i didnt really understand about this LTE.. But i should find CDMA phone with TDD LTE 2300, right?? if i buy GSM with 4g capable, i couldn't use that cdma network to use their LTE service, right?

Thank you in advance..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
No it doesn't support it. You would not be able to use GSM phone on CDMA either. The tri band version (L710T) may support those frequencies but I am not sure.

:eek: ok so i have an Sph-L710 from Virgin, bloated to hell, i want to put cw on it BUT the micro port does not work (i have an external battery charger) now i know i may just have missed it but i promise i have looked all across the forums and google but is there a way to install cwm from SD card and if so can someone link me the file to put onto my sd? Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
You could flash the TWRP recovery.img with an app called Flashify. CWM is extremely outdated on this device use either TWRP or Philz. I would recommend Philz, but due to your circumstances I think you'll have to start with TWRP recovery.img with Flashify. You can flash the Philz zip in TWRP after and reboot recovery if you so choose.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shadytidus:
ok so i looked at the flashify app my issue is the phone is stock and not rooted, can you root a phone without using odin or a pc to phone connection?

Odin Philz Recovery (.tar.md5 file), uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin. Wait until it says PASS. Pull battery, replace battery, hold Power+Vol Up. Go into Philz Settings, hit Reroot, and reboot the phone. Download SuperSU from the Play Store and update your SU binary and you should be rooted.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It's supposed to be "d2spr" and yes the only thing that changes is the look. You can change it to any off the S5 variants you want too. My personal favorite is "kltespr" (klte is the international S5, then there's kltevzw, kltetmo, and klteatt as well). All it does is change the looks, but it may have an effect on some apps that may identify your phone as an S5. Each phone/carrier has a unique identifier.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnRogers23:
Baseband Unknown

I have an L710T, the Sprint model, and I have really messed something up. I think I somehow managed to delete the modem on my device. When I go to the "Baseband" section of settings it simply says "Unknown". I flashed CM11 on top of stock 4.4, but I think somewhere in there I accidentally touched something in recovery and deleted something. I restored from the backup I took before I flashed but there is no modem there either (as well as no google play services for some reason). I'm trying not to freak out about breaking my shiny new(to me) toy.

Where do I go from here? I'm willing to go back to stock for a bit and restore everything if that's what I need, but if I can flash a modem and be ok that would be awesome. At the moment I'm still in my borked stock. Can I restore with Kies? Do I need to use an Odin one-click? Thanks very much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Odin would be the way to go, I do not have your model so I don't know what's available. You can usually find the latest Odin packages at www.sammobile.com
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnRogers23:
Thank you so much for your quick reply! I found the firmware here: sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SPH-L710/ (XDA won't let me link, sorry) I just download the latest one, flash it with the PDA part of Odin, and it should restore it?

:confused:edit for no double posting: Is my real problem that I didn't realize the L710T and d2spr are not really the same device? Will I be able to run CM11?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
DO NOT FLASH ANY ODIN STUFF FOR THE L710. MAKE SURE IT IS FOR THE L710T. Yes you can use anything that is d2spr or d2lte (as far as AOSP goes) though you may experience issues with some ROMs that others don't have.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnRogers23:
I don't see anything on that site for the L710T. I could be panicking and just not seeing it, but I've looked a few times. I did find this thread on the T: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/help/sprint-sphl710t-stock-flashable-tar-odin-t2967981 but I don't know if that file is out of date and will screw me in other ways.

Thank you again for replying, you're saying my problem isn't that I flashed a d2lte rom but that I did something extra stupid and once I fix it I should be ok to go back to CM11.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes,that's what you want, and yes you can go back afterwards. You'll have to reinstall your custom recovery through Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnRogers23:
SOLVED!!

Thank you once more for your help. I used odin with that stock tar and everything is back to normal, my radio is working great again.

edit: well, I installed the CWM recovery and the CM11 nightly fine, but once again it just said my baseband was unknown. I'm back on stock once more til I can figure out why this is happening. :eek:

edit2: Got it! I really didn't want d2spr roms after all, I had to go for one of the d2bst variants, which are apparantly made for the model T. I'm running OctOS right now, only radio issues are no 4g (solved soon?) and it says I'm on Boost. I can't believe how much snappier this rom feels compared to stock.

Anyone else with a L710T who encounters the Baseband Unknown problem have a look at this thread: http://androidforums.com/threads/boost-mobile-roms-confirmed-working-for-sph-l710t.893701/

Switching Galaxy S3 from Sprint to Cricket

Hey guys new member and first time poster here! I am new to cellphone modification but have been doing my homework.

I have a Galaxy S3 which I was using on Sprint and I would like to use it with my new carrier Cricket. My understanding is that I will need to "flash" the phone with a working "rom". I would also like to root my device, or do I do that after I flash it?

Are there any step-by-step guides on how to do this? I am pretty tech savvy and can figure most things out pretty quickly.

Thank you for any help you can give,

That means they are still using the the modem from the MK4 build (they probably meant MK3 as there was no MK4 ... I think there was on the S4), I think that was back on Jelly Bean... they're using an old modem and haven't updated to KitKat yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Reinstall Busybox like it says... you have to go into the app and install busybox from there.

I don't have any experience with flashed phones, so I don't know if you'll have to reflash afterwards. I would think you would be good if you stick with Touchwiz. The first thing you'll have to do is Odin a custom recovery, I suggest Philz. Then if you flash a rooted ROM, you don't have to worry about rooting.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Philz is highly recommended
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
Philz is considered an obsolete recovery he is no longer doing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes, but there is nothing newer coming out on the S3. TWRP has tons of problems and isn't being updated. Philz works perfectly and is the only recovery I recommend for any flashing on this device (S3). It'snot like it's going to become obsolete when the phone is EOL. I know what I'm talking about, I promise... if it was the S4 I would say TWRP all the way.

New to GS3-help-please!

Not new to android or flashing, but new to GS3, just rooted (cf-auto-root) no custom rom or recovery yet, made backups of all apps using Titanium Backup, later noticed I could not write to exSdCard, so began looking for a solution when I noticed I also could not use TB to write to my internal sdcard anymore. Yes the default folder for TB now has the red folder with "cannot write to this location" next to it on top of the list. all the backups are there but cant make anymore. Also tried root enabled Es File Explorer to create and delete folders, but that doesn't work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated by this noob to GS3!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Most custom ROMs have this fixed. You can also try SDFix by NextApp.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] riven67:
Yeah I forgot I did try that app but it did not work for me. Just to be clear the issue is not just being unable to access the external sdcard, I am also unable to write to INTERNAL sdcard!!

I can write to / but not to any directory under that.

I also recieved an update to SE security which I think caused the problem. looking into it they say to use terminal and type:

restorecon -FR /data/media/0

I tried this also but get an error that -F is invalid syntax is (--nRrv--)

I researched this and it seems some binaries are missing this switch (lucky me)

Are you telling me this is fixed also in most ROMS?

If so I will flash but from what I can find anyone with this problem was unable to fix this by flashing. am I wrong?

Can you at least go back to stock rom(that you Nandroid'd) and do you know what you did wrong to semi-brick your phone? I would hate to lose my phone because of my curiosity lol

My suggestions for fixing the issue(from what I've researched): Delete cache,dalvik cache, data, and system BEFORE installing the ROM. --> if that doesn't work, also do it after you install? Make sure your ROM zip file isn't corrupted and you have the correct version.

**Or maybe you haven't waited long enough? I heard it takes a long time for the first boot. Are you waiting enough?**
