I digress...lol...so I decided to upgrade to TR 3.31.

I did a dirty flash, I know, bad Kiefer. It went smoothly and quickly. I added the exchange accounts back and all 3 worked perfectly.

BUT I could not connect to data unless I was using WiFi. If I set the Network to CDMA only I could get Data but if I set it to CDMA/LTE there was no connection. I then did a clean install starting with 3.17 then 3.31 on top. I have the same issue with the CDMA/LTE (no data unless I am on CDMA only) and now when I try to use the Hotspot (TPR hotspot) I get an error message asking me to insert my SIM card! Sim card? Sprint?

HELP!

Flash the MK3 Modem

Well that was the answer. Thank you so much. CDMA/LTE data works as does the TPR Hotspot. Thanks so much for your help!

(now any clue as to why all of a sudden the one email account would not send mail?)

Flastnoles11...one more question for you before I take the plunge and try 4.4. What is the major difference between these two roms? If you have been on 4.3? And also to recap I just have to follow the instructions on the other forum thread which has phils recovery files and then odin my phone. And then I can go back and forth between that and this new 3.31 that has no modem??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Really most of the differences are under the hood, but it's honestly well worth it. Memory management is unbelievably good with 4.4...best my s3 has ever run honestly. And if you may want to come back to this rom, backup in recovery before jumping to 4.4, then when/if you want to come back just restore your backup
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hdb15:
I thought if you odin a tar file it erases your internal memory. Is this correct? If so do you just put your backup on sd card?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes and yes... Or back it up on your PC, whatever's clever.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
I always use the external sd for backups, never the internal... Personal preference really, but as bilgerryan said, you can just move them to your computer before using odin and move them back after

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agentphantom:
just updated from 3.17 to the latest TPR, so far so great.

Now, I'm looking for a transparent pulldown. Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Also, I'm using Philz recovery and it is asking me to update the binary, ideas??? Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
It's a solid phone, blazing fast..Sense still takes some getting used to after being spoiled by all the TW shortcuts. Still can't find anything that will swap the softkeys...I guess I will have to try Viper ROM for that.

Just lost GPS / location services !?! TPR 3.17

Still on TPR 3.17, and I intended to update this weekend - buuuuuuuut. New problem for me this morning: Gmaps alerted me that location services were turned off - except for "Location and Google search". When I try to turn on location by wireless networks OR satellites, Settings will force close. If I try to turn on GPS on the notifications panel, System UI will FC.

Things I've tried:

uninstall last app I downloaded (5days ago); wipe cache, dalvik; used GPS+ and other apps to clear AGPS and update ; turned off Accessibility settings to apps. I rebooted after each attempt. I still cannot activate location services.

Any suggestions, before I just go full wipe and re-flash? Thanks for any advice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Trickster03:
I'm using the most up to date TPR and even using the exact Morphology they have posted..."Morphology v2.21 TPR Edition" And no matter what I do or how many times I flash it and make a theme..It will not work..Boots up to "Unfortunately, 64.0dip has stopped." And no part of the theme is there, not even a status bar...Can't seem to find a solution to this...Any ideas??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
Since with Tmonilc I have jump I just wonder if I should jump up to the S5, or down to teh S3. if I went to the S3 I know I could use TPR again, but if I went to the s5 I culd get all the features that the s5 has......................oh wait I forgot theres a thread with those aps already :)

Guess I just gotta keep leearning how to o this stuff any maybe someday you will see wolfens rom out there
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dan330:
yeah.. I just did the update from 3.17 to 3.31. clean flash (full wipe).

seems to be that everything is fine. but she can not get LTE to connect.

I guess the fix is the MK3 flash. which I think I found at the end of Post# 1:

FLASH THIS to stop the MK3 update NAG: http://d-h.st/WBo

is that the one? but that reads like it only stopped the update nagging. or is that the modem install???

if that is NOT the correct fix... then can you point to me the correct fix to flash?

FYI: I have moved on to the NOTE3 since Nov 2013. so I am not familiar with what is happening with the S3.

Don't know what the MK3 modem is.. and don't know what the ND8 is that I am seeing around for the Kitkkat update.

thanks guys
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dademon02:
when will this be updates to the latest 4.4.2

Sprint released the 4.4.2. do you know when this will be updated to the latest stable version ?>

Read the last couple pages, you'll be waiting for awhile. And for future reference, asking for ETAs is a no no. Check this out in the meantime- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2768483
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dademon02:
My bad.

Was more of a question if it was going to happen and not when. I like this room because of its stability and features. Was wondering if it will continue to progress.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dan330:
so.. I guess that is NOT the right update for MK3.. link above.

update..

I upgraded the GS3 from TPR 3.17 .. to 3.31

I wiped .. dalvik .. cache.. and user data.

flashed to 3.31.

everything worked but no Data network.

can call and text only. and surf on wifi network.

I wiped.. dalvik

flashed zip file .. to stop the MK3 NAG..

rebooted phone.

I see the "Samsung" and "Galaxy S3" boot...

but then it just goes black. NOthing. waited.. Nothing.

rebooted several times.

did battery pull.

will not get past the two splash screens.. then darkness.

so.. I did a wipe (Dalvik and Cache) again... and flashed TPR 3.31.

still NO data.. but the phone is back to working. but no data.

where do I get the NK3 modem upgrade that will fix this issue?

is that the right MK3 Modem update for Sprint Samsung GS3????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Yep, flash that for the mk3 modem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dan330:
I flashed the MK3 Modem.. which I downloaded from the link above.

checked the baseband version: L710VPUCMK3

turned off WIFI.. put into Airplane Mode ON/OFF.

it can not find the Sprint Data connections.. I get a notification:

Error:

Unable to establish a wireless data connection

MIP : 67

I am using CWM - Based Recovery v5.5.0.4

I even .. did a full wipe (user data; cache; dalvik)

flashed the TPR3.31 again.

still no joy!

please.. what should I do now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Dial ##72786#, this will reset your data and should get you going again... It'll reboot a couple times so be patient
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lobo69ga:
No luck with xda search: Location settings F/C

Anyone, anyone, anyone?

<crickets>
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dan330:
does that require Sprint service?

my sis phone has service with sprint.

mine has been de-activated since Nov 2013. currently on ATT Note3

what does doe actually do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Yes, it needs service... And you do exactly what I said, go into the dialer and dial ##72786#
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dan330:
##72786# on my de-activated phone.

it rebooted and tried to activate my phone... of course I cant do that.

interestingly.. the "3G" icon showed up on the Notification bar.. while it was trying to activate my phone.. it even looks like it is "loading" some new data to the phone and completes the download!

since it could not activate it.. it stopped.

I am back to no data connection.

I even rebooted the phone.. it is now trying to activate this phone.

I have NOT tried it on my sister's phone yet.. because I want to be sure before I try that on hers

when she comes over, later... I will try it on hers.

hers is an active sprint phone.

so this command will deactivate it.. then reactivate it?

then start the "whatever" to get her mobile data started again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Pretty much... It'll reset all things involving the data and force a hands free activation on it... After it gets done it'll update the prl also.... I highly recommend running a profile update once it's completed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It's the exact thing a Sprint Rep would do if you came to them with this problem. Nothing to worry about as it's a built-in dialer code by Samsung, in fact it will do the exact same thing on your Note 3. ##DATA# too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hdb15:
Are you trying to get mobile data to work on a deactivated phone? If so, I don't think that's going to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dan330:
ok.. sounds safe enough. thanks

oh.. interesting ... thanks

what my plan is...

I will use the ##72786# command..to activate my (unsued) phone on to her account.

if it goes well.. then my phone will have mobile data (3G/LTE) again.

then.. I will do the same with her phone.

putting her phone back on her account.. knocking mine back off.

and she should then have her mobile data (LTE/3G) back.

what u guys think?

LOL funny.. no. I aint goofy enough to think that is possible.

I just want to make sure my sisters phone has full working sprint mobile data back.

and that my phone sees the signal. (even though my phone is NOT activated on sprint.. shouldn't it still see the signal?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Skip step one and just do it on her phone, you're gonna make things more complicated activating your phone on her account. If that doesn't work there are other things to try, but there is no way you're going to make things any worse by trying this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dan330:
I am trying to kill 2 birds with one stone..

fix her phone .. and my phone (for future use, if I want to activate it)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
I gave you a reply when you first asked. You will most likely have to odin stock back in to repair your GPS or restore an old nandroid where it was working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lobo69ga:
Thanks KennyG123

I did not get your first reply; but I'm grateful that you repeated your message. I guess I'm off to flash. Thank you for the help KennyG123 !
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Yeah, it really bites when the GPS goes south (diducwhatididthere)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dan330:
update:

the command ##72786#

worked! it fixed the issue. now the Mobile Data works. using the new modem software MK3

reports from my sister. (I have not fixed my un-active phone - because it has NO carrier service to use to fix it)

she said it was slower data speeds in general for both 3G and 4G.

and at home it normally finds 4G.. now only finds 3G.

I want to try other modems softwares for Sprint. but not sure which to try.

if my S3 was fixed.. I could try modems before putting on hers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
It is possible that Sprint is working on the towers in your area. You need to compare with someone else with active service...also on your sister's phone update profile and PRL.

Sprint better not take over T mobile, if they do I'm turning all my phones back in, when I had sprint here, the only good thing about it was TPRother than that the phone service itself sucked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
That would be GREAT! Only downside is none of their current phones would work... Definitely have to be a slow transition, would piss of a lot of people if they just dropped CDMA out of the blue one day... Lol, it'd be a bit humorous though

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

They would get all of T-Mobile spectrum so if you're happy with T-Mobile you'd still be happy

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
I better be, I know Sprint did their big 4g LTE changes around here and that's why I dumped them half way through my contract, I dropped 5 calls from employers wanting to give me a job interview completely missed 6 calls, and almost lost my current job because I am required to have a phone as a recall in case of emergence and every time the city called all they got was a message saying my number was not in service, that's the quality they have in this area.

Version is supposed to be #1 but I have had all 4 major carriers and three small carriers and so far, major is T Mobile, small is Cricket (att)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
It would be years before you would see any type of changeover one way or the other...my guess is, and this is only a guess...that since companies like Samsung and HTC customize the hardware for each carrier if requested....you may see a phone eventually that picks out the best signal CDMA or GSM and utilizes that virtually making them a superpower in coverage....just one possibility as a lot of phones have dual capability.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orlzzt:
Yes, I remember back when I had Nextel and the "merger" happened, they had a "hybrid" phone that had both iDEN (for the Direct Connect) and CDMA (for voice). That would be sweet! I think you should get on that, Kenny! :rolleyes:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
Your phone would need its own account for that to work - it's difficult to test the modem without a working data connection. And switching your sister's line to your phone is more complicated than just entering a dialer code on the disconnected phone - if it were that easy, people would be hijacking each other's accounts all the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Styles? Where you been?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jorv976:
Sprint and TMobile will be a merger. Remaining two separate Companies. One Sprint and the other TMobile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Good way to improve profits which in turn allows for more money being spent on both networks... Honestly that's probably the best and smartest way to go about it

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
You would hope that they would remain two separate companies. Have a symbiotic relationship. Help each other grow, prosper, and move forward building better networks. But the sad fact is that most likely one will absorb the other. Meaning Sprint will take over part, or all of T-Mobile. But they will still remain two companies on paper. That way it will look good to the FCC. But that's just my two cents :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
All I knwo is around here Sprint sucks for service, they have more dropped calls per day in this area than I have hairs on my hard, Tmobile on eth other hand is better in this area than talking face to face. so Sprint will more than likely absorb Tmobile and render my phones useless until I trade them in for Sprint phones, and by doing so Sprint will force me to "upgrade" to a Galaxy s5, which if I wanted one of those I'm stop adding S5 apps to my S4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It's a merger, keeping them two separate "entities". No one will be absorbed and Neither one would be stupid enough to deprecate a nationwide network that's already built. GSM will stay GSM and CDMA will stay CDMA. Mostly just a plot to help them both compete with ATT and Verizon, you know like a "with our powers combined" kinda thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
T-Mobile doesn't need to compete with att, at least from what I see, T-Mobile has the no contract plan and people are bailing from att, sprint, and version around here like T-Mobile is offering phones for free
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Winning in one area does not mean they aren't running losses in the market as a whole
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
That's the mean reason I dumped Sprint, I was paying 350 a month for 5 lines, owned the phones, and the service was worse than two cans on a string, Spring is BIGGER than T mobiles and Tmobile has better service, the only thing I miss about Sprint is me GS3 with TPR on it

Right now I'm running Wicked ROM v10 o. A T-Mobile GS4 and still learning it

Kenny,

I am not sure if you mentioned this earlier in the thread, I am sure you did a quick search, but are you happy with the HTC One coming from Samsung?

One thing with my S3, I always have a spare battery I can swap out when needed. This is one thing that makes me hesitant to do the switch - the built-in battery. I may just try and hold out for the Note 4.

So if other device discussions belong in off topic thread, and off topic discussion is welcome in the TPR thread... do we discuss TPR in the threads for other devices? Because we'll have a lot of jealous non-GS3 owners if we do... just sayin' ;)

I tested uncompressed mms which didnt work, but then I read the change log and its not on there. So i flashed the zip from freeza and it works. My question is, is there a reason it was left out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
The mms recipient mod was added instead...so, the question, does the recipient and group mms no longer work for you since you flashed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Uncompressed mms requires the recipient to also have it so didn't think it was worth it and having more than 10 in group messaging was the more common need.

Thank you for all your help today. Unfortunately, no matter what I tried, I wasn't able to install TPR. My phone was sorta soft bricked for awhile ( couldn't get it to do anything and it would lockup on reboot from recovery), but after many one-click stock installs, I was able to install Free GS3 2.0 after resetting to stock via the one click and installing TWRP via GooManager. I'll try again after my phone settles in for awhile.
