Are you sure need to be on LG2? Everytime I flash that modem I get that symbol on the left (sim i think) and no data connection. Shouldn't LJ7 modem work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
If you can get it to work like that let us know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sc76873:
I have the same problem using the LG2 rom. Keep on asking me for a SIM. Should be for GSM like AT&T and T-Mobile phones.

According to this thread, the following radios are flashable.

Sprint GS3 Flashable Radios LEN, LF9, LG2, LG8, LI3, LJ7, MB1, MC3

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
You can flash different radios but the issue is that you won't be able to read the spc or may not be able to write certain things. I show you in the video what works 100% all of the time for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:
Will this work for sprint s2 also?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] overthatscreen:
@ Asadullah

So if you don't mind me asking. About how much data have you been able to use without getting shut off? I'm pretty sure I've broken the 1gb mark and still going strong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ronyoung08:
Used TPR 3.17 ,LG7 modem 00002prl.

Took the battery out the SG3.

*228 Gusto 2 to update its settings.

Connected Gusto 2 to DFS and "Read" all the information (as the OPs video showed).

Disconnected Gusto 2.

Replace the SG3 battery and connect to DFS.

Then "Write" all the information (as the OPs vodeo showed).

Then click "Reset" and then WAIT WAIT WAIT for your phone to fully reboot before disconnecting it (just to be safe).

Everything should work!

DO NOT flash a different modem, you WILL lose 3G.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
I'm not a data killer at the most I've evr used was 3gb. Which isn't really confirmed it's just a guess. Honestly I don't use much a month.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] overthatscreen:
Sounds like a fair amount. I'm usually in the 20gb range. But I have the new Unlimited 4G plan with T-Mobile. Kind of hard for me to step down to 3G speeds after that. But I'm sure the GS3 will come in handy on road trips. T-Mobile sucks when I'm in the middle of no where.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ronyoung08:
Sent you a pm.

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

Please add the op not to change modems or you will lose 3G and have to start the process over. Also zeroing out of the SPC and other things is not needed, as I still use the SPC that came with my device which is not 000000. The LJ7 modem would be best to use, so people won't freak out about the "no sim card" error.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
Honestly if I knew that I would get 4g speeds everywhere I normally travel then I would switch over to tomobile in a heart beat. And I would like to get the galaxy s4 developers edition.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] overthatscreen:
I'm actually considering the Verizon iPhone 5. Hopefully you'll have a write up on it. That way I can switch the Verizon prepaid when travelling and then to Tmobile once I'm back in town.

Unless the new factory unlocked iPhone can do both...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Is thegusto 2 an evdo phone ?

---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------

And. Anyone got a link for a Verizon prepaid xml apn backup?

I'm thinking of jumping from boost mobile to the $35 prepaid Verizon plan..

Not new to flashing, but new to the Verizon side, coming from sprint end
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ronyoung08:
Are you going to be flashing a smart plan over? And for unlimited 3G to work you need the $50 plan which still beats boost mobile out the water, even if the monthly bill doesn't lower.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
you don't need the fifty dollar plan to get unlimited data.The only difference between the plans is unlimited talk time.

As for iPhones I don't get into them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
That's what I thought, $35 plan will do... Just limited 500mmin tlak time.

[MENTION=267997]Asad[/MENTION] can you confirm gusto 2 will get evdo speeds?

And do you have the xml apn file for mms?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
Evdo and 3g speeds. I use the verizon messages app for mms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Thanks.

Like I said, not new to flashing... Only new to Verizon side.

No need for du10keys for 3g?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
+1 on this.. Will it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
I would imagine yes.

It's the same method, once you have the concept.. Thanks to the OP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sc76873:
I'm still having a very hard time trying to get 3G to work. I tried everything with different ROMs and different modems and PRL.

I contacted some of the people that offers remote flashing servics and they said I need to purchase a brand new Gusto 2 that is UNACTIVATED. Does that sounds right to you guys?

I thought one of the prerequisite is to have the Gusto 2 activated and go onto the Mobile web at least once.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sc76873:
OMG, I can not believe it. I followed your instructions to the T and carefully doing each step at a time and I now got 3G working. You are AWESOME!!! Thank you very much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Did you use a gusto 2 as well?

Are they still on sale at radio Shack?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sc76873:
I got a Samsung Gusto 2 like 2 weeks ago from Radio Shack for $9.99. I don't think they have the promotion any more. Normal price is $19.99.

I did not buy another Gusto 2 (unactivated) to do the flash. I used the same one.

I'm not too crazy about the TPR 3.17 ROM, but it works, so I'm not to going to touch it. :o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Excellent.

I will be switching from boost mobile when my refill dries up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] overthatscreen:
I was at Best Buy and they had the Gusto 2 on sale for $9.99 for this week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
been seeing some people on other sites, & forums saying that verizon did a crackdown on phones flashed like this.. They cut the service on them anyone know if this in fact is true or fake?

i want to flash but dont want to have my service cut off right after...???????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DaGreatOne671:
Been on Verizon Prepaid for the past 6 months as long as you don't use and abuse the system!!! Pretty much everything is in the open man, heard they cracked down on MiFi's as well... I'm at home wifi/ at work wifi use reasonably...let's hope these schmucks using 20gb a month mess everything up for the least fortunate bro I've been on 6 months using 3-4gb or even less and no problem :D

Oh yes I'm currently on $35/month plan 500 minutes(unlimited domestic calls) unlimited text and web perfect plan if you don't talk much...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
I'm curious to read this.. Got a link?

Nvm found it on the gurus site
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] estirpe:
I've looked for the info because I've lost flash but I couldn't find it, but I lost everything first internet and now voice-text. I called the guy that flashed my phone and he said that Verizon changed codes ( I don't know what codes)

I do have the gusto that he used to flash my phone so I will follow the video to see if I can bring it back to life
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
So you're on Verizon prepaid plan, and you got shut off??

I thought they were only targeting Mifi.

Is your gusto still working with text calls and data?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] estirpe:
Yep verizon prepaid and nothing working, I wanted to try the video but the guy that flashed my phones gave the gusto without battery so I have no way to tell if the gusto is working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Can I ask how you were were up an running toll shut off?

I want to ask to Guage if it was the recent security or not...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] estirpe:
Like 3 days ago I lost data and just yesterday I lost voice and text. It rebooted and asked me to activate it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Rebooted and asking you to activate doesn't sound like a flagging issue...

It's probably some codes, app, or whatever that deleted that portion.

The people with broken flagging just stops randomly.

I can't imagine voice calls and texts not working because the info is embedded into the nv items..

That's my thought process however.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] estirpe:
That is what my friend said, some codes. He says he is going to flash it again tomorrow, hopefully all is good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sc76873:
Question, I don't seem to get a voicemail notification. I just dialed *86 and I noticed that I have 5 voicemails. Is there a fix? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
what is the fastest data speed you can get on verizon prepaid?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KittyLoves2Bite:
Should the network name be Sprint? Thats what mine says for network and I just reprogrammed the phone again. And under User Name is says <not set> Should that be set to something and if so what should it look like? Thanks for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sc76873:
Don't think the network name matters. I'm using TPR ROM (The People's ROM), so my network = The People's ROM. My user name is MyMEID@hcm.sprintpcs.com.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

It all depends on how strong is your 3G signal. I just did a speed test and I live in NYC. I'm getting 996kbps Down and 610kbps Up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
is that good enough to stream netflix without buffering?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DaGreatOne671:
Weird I'm from NYC and get 2-2.5 mbps for 6 months straight never slowed unless I'm somewhere with no service then I see a 1x but that's when I'm under the subway lol YouTube videos no buffers...Netflix works like a charm probably depends on what prl you guys are using...bummer fastest I've gotten was 2.9mbps trying to push it to 3mbps lmao wish me luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smoggysasquatch:
Same issues as above

I have too also been dealing with not data (pandora, internet, picture messaging). it was working fine for the first day. I think i used like 80 Mb's of data then I get error 500. I DFS'd another prl and the roaming messages quit and all seemed fine. Until the next day (again roughly about 80 Mb's of data, then data is shut off. When I shut down my GS3 and turn on the Gusto 2, it has data (web) no problem. (takes forever at 1x). I have *228 several times with no change. The issue lies in the gs3 i believe, what is the next step? does flashing back to original firmware change the flashing any?

(sorry if thread jacking)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Are you on the $35 or $50 plan?

And how long was it working till it start quitting?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smoggysasquatch:
i originally purchased the gusto 2 with a $10 promo of minutes, then added a $15 card. i quickly noticed that prepaid was not an economical option. As of right now, I have the $50 monthly plan.

It would seem to only last about a day. At one point, I duplicated a modified sprint prl on my internal storage of the GS3, renamed it to test.prl and wrote it to the phone via ##DATA#....That only lasted a couple of hours.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Reports of them dripping daily on on the Gusto... When was your unit flashed?

I ask because some were saying it's the new flashed units that don't pass authentication. Older ones work fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smoggysasquatch:
only about 1 to 2 weeks... I have reflashed a few times since then. just to make sure that I wasn't missing anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smoggysasquatch:
I just flashed it again with 5300 prl. Its working again. I'll let you know tomorrow if it quits. It's as if I'm reaching a threshold of some sort. still works fine off of the gusto-2 anytime.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KittyLoves2Bite:
I have the pay as you go plan and I keep losing data as well. Calls have always worked. I know on the gusto 2 I need to tell it I want to use the web and agree I want to pay the 99 cents for a days use before it allows me to use the web on the gusto 2. Could it be that our galaxy s3 dont have this app so after an aloud amount of time the web access times out so we cant use it again till we reflash our phone? By the way im new at this so I may be way off base with this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Guys, I hate to tell you all but the gig is most likely over on vzw prepaid. They are dropping like flies all over the place. It does not matter what donor that you used Verizon is targeting the prepaid plans. Do not think for a minute that they cannot tell if you are using a different phone, because they can. I suggest looking at other alternatives........

You want to blame it on something then blame all the guys peddling the mifi units all over ebay and the net. Thats the reason they are hitting them plain and simple......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
so then next best thing to do would to flash to Page Plus?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well that's up to you, Page Plus, Selectel Wireless, or Next-G are all logical choices... Plus they do not require a donor so Verizon not out to get them ;)

I could be wrong and maybe Verizon will quit hitting them but I would bet the house the gig is over.........

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
Some people are having issues with error 89 I had it happen myself (It's a dmu authentication error) but it happened when I was messing with stuff in /system/app of an htc evo 4g lte. It could be one hell of a coincidence but I really don't know. Both incidences were two days apart and were easily remedied by just reflashing. Also none of my customers have complained (most of them were on the verizon galaxy though). Don't know what to say if it bothers you or if it worries you then you should probably pay one of these guys that pretends to wanna write guides but never does to flash your phone to page plus.

Here's a slightly themed verizon messages it has the sense messages iicon and alot of red is gone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] overthatscreen:
I don't get it. Whenever it switches to 1x, I just turn on and off Airplane Mode and I'm back to 3G.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
How is selectel working
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] overthatscreen:
Something strange seems to be happening. For the past four days on the Daily .99 plan for data, my balance has been $4 and some change. I've checked my balance everyday and it stays the same. The only thing I did different was not perform the activation by phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
Is anybody else data not working? It's been going in and out for the last couple of days then today it's out completely. I toggle data then 3g came and went away. Do I need to reflash it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
You most likely need to reflash if you have it on verizon prepaid. Verizon is cracking down hard
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
When did they start cracking down hard?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inst1029:
mine just complete shut down on 3g from last night

can't connect any data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
I had to reflash mine and now my data is working again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inst1029:
thanks

i will try to figure it out how to flash on my own

( i have it done by someone else over the internet :( )
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
No problem. Just follow this guide on this thread and you will be good to go. Remember to put the gusto 2 in airplane mode. If you need help post it here or message me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inst1029:
reflashed following the video, still no data, everything else works fine :crying:

( didn't put gusto on airplane mode when i flash it )
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
Try it that's what I did and restarted s3 and Bam. Try not having the s3 in airplane mode while having gusto in it then restart s3 and make sure to go to settings mobile data change it to CDMA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inst1029:
Thank you !!!

It works, was having it backward that's why I can't get it to work < gs3 airplane mode and gusto on >
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
You Welcome. That can work also . As long as it's working right. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inst1029:
woke up this morning, data is gone again :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
Me too :mad: Trying to reflash again. Ugh I feel like I have wasted $45. Can't get my data back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inst1029:
i have some one flashed my phone twice for ￥65 / each already. but following the video and its done in 5 min.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DaGreatOne671:
How much data are you guys using up... It's a factor as well for those who's losing data...odd I've been having zero issues up here in nyc besides mms issues here as And there...be aware that they are monitoring heavy data usage/per month users and re authenticating gusto 2 therefore users have to re flash...Sucks for those who pays for remote flash any one can gladly pm me if need help in re flashing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:
How much data do you use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DaGreatOne671:
Roughly around 2-3gb few cases close to 5gb testing the boundaries but since I'm at work free wifi and at home wifi so data when I'm outside
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:
I just flashed my sprint s3 and was wondering if a tmobile s3 could be flashed also?

Edit: Nevermind different freqs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] imme2007:
I cant find a Verizon S3 and found a Sprint S3 for a good price so I guess I am going to do it with a Sprint S3. I was wondering if anyone know where a Verizon S3 ROM that can be flashed to Sprint version is? That would be great. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:
Why would you want a Verizon rom on a Sprint S3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] imme2007:
Cause its going to be on the Verizon network
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:
Im running jellybomb for sprint on my sprint s3 flashed to verizon prepaid with no issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] imme2007:
Thanks for the info! But I would just like it better with a Verizon based rom, thanks though!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] art90262:
Anyone know if this is still working as long as its not abused? I'm thinking of switching from 190 dlls per month for two lines and crappy service with sprint to 70 for two lines with verizon 3g
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
Just go with page plus and you will be good... same exact service as verizon prepaid...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] art90262:
Thanks, but is pageplus signal coverage as good as verizon's? The reason Im considering verizon is because their coverage is superior to sprint's everywhere near the beach/mountain areas here in LA/OC
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
Yes it is... I flashed my gnote 2 to pageplus and have zero issues.. it works off vzn twrs same exact service as vzn ppd... wherever vzn ppd works pageplus is going to work .... I live/work/play all over LA-OC-IE and sgv... have reception and data everywhere I have gone...

Vzn ppd $50 is unlimited data though but alot of people have gotten disconnected

Hey xda users..I flash ALOT of phones to vzw prepaid and it looks like sumthing has changed..I haven't figured it out all the way but it seems like they are now monitoring the prepaid network..I've had my vzw prepaid account for well over a year and have not got disconnected once but within the last 30-45 days I have had several customers come back to have the HA AAA passwords updated..so obviously something is being triggered by sum customers and not on others...if anybody comes across any useful info please do tell..the fix it 2 obviously just *228 the original and rewrite nam....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
Yea I did the last line you said and when reading GU2 Mobile IP the first P1 is blank then I go to P2 and then stuff shows in P1 it's not giving me what I need for the SGS3. I guess it's back to Virgin Mobile for me they was the easiest to get data to work for.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhand901:
yes i had to reflash after just 2 days

I have a sprint gs4 and flashed it to Verizon $50 plan. Two days later I lost the passwords and had to reflash. Really no big deal to me as I have another phone with me at all times and also a tablet. I'm not a big data hog. Never over 3gb. Not much streaming on Verizon. Just surfing mainly. But I took the gusto *228 and just reflashed. Took maybe 5 mins. Today I will use Verizon only and see if they kick me of today. Also I'm in Memphis TN. Maybe its location based. But its never happened on any other flashes I've had over the past 12 months.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
Or the plans I'm on the $35 plan unlimited, text, data and 500mins. I can't get data back to save my life. I keep getting two different HA and AAA pwds. Neither of them work. I'm going to try again today. Is anybody else on that plan with my problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] juanto2804:
Im on the 35$ plan as well on a sprint gs3. Just reflashed it yesterday and got data cut off today. Not even 24 hours...:mad:

Anyone know how to overcome this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ryanpedro:
SHUT OFF

I have a sprint s3 and its about to be shut off. Im running the moar rom right now. Do I need to flash to another rom before the cut me off and do all this or will I still be able to flash to verizon once its cut off? Thanks. Love this site!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
So the process is *228 my friend while main phone in airplane mode. Then read from friend using DFS when I hit reset take battery out of friend?

EDIT: Re read and re read knew what I had to do and did it and it's a no go for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inst1029:
In a middle of call and got disconnected with prepairing network notification. Everything still works till I did a fresh wipe ROM install. Lost data again.

Haven't use much data lately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] juanto2804:
I think it's official. Verizon seems to be sending new keys every 1 or 2 days. Lost my data this morning again and I just reflashed my phone Wednesday night. Seems like I'm gonna have to switch service :mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhand901:
I've gotten kicked off 3 days in a row. They are really locking down now. Think I will start researching PP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] juanto2804:
Which provides better service straight talk or page plus? I'm considering one of these
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalehua4791:
My Sprint s3 flashed to straight talk works great.....no complaints

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] juanto2804:
How's the speed? I hear that they throttle you as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalehua4791:
Speed is fine as it ever was.....no complaints here.....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inst1029:
is it 2gb data？
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] juanto2804:
Been using my samsung fascinate for the past two days. Data still working. Not like my sprint gs3 which got data cut off almost every single day 3 times already. Are verizon galaxy s3 flashed to prepaid experiencing the data issue?.cuz it seems like an alternative if they renew keys automatically being a verizon phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhand901:
I was thinking the same thing. I had a Verizon s3 flashed and it never stopped working....for weeks. My sprintngs4 is a daily cut off scenario.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] juanto2804:
So i'll probably sell my sprint one for a verizon one. Couple of more days of testing and ill buy one. Hopefully this works great. Cuz im on the 35$ plan saving money
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:
Been running fine 2 months now on my sprint s2 and s3. "Knock on wood"
