Might be a stupid question but does it matter what ROM your on? I'm on KitKat and don't want to screw anything up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
No, modem is independent of rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kennyla:
After flashing the modem, has anyone noticed that the prl number has changed and the network changed to LTE? Well after updating the profile and prl it changed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigpappags3:
Not sure about the lte part but my prl stayed the same.

I see nothing in this about my bootloader issues I'm having.. Did u send right link? Someone said I need to flash md4 ROM to be compatible with new CM builds because the stock 4.3 isn't compatible anymore, I do have a really quick question if u don't mind though, from my understanding this process to upgrade to md4 is pretty much the same as flashing a ROM correct? And I just found on the forum its says flash able mk3 ROM will this already have the md4 bootloader and if so can I flash that and solve my boot loader problem? I'm sorry for being so vauge and I appreciate the help, I'm green but I'm not all the way green I do have basic understanding on does and don't, this is the first phn I've tried to flash that I've ran into this problem with so I was am clueless on what to do.

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

My device I'm trien to do this to is a galaxy s3 sph-l710 and I'm running stock 4.3 only thing that's been done is I've installed recovery and rooted, I'm pretty sure I need to upgrade to md4 to be able to flash the ROM I want because the new CM builds aren't compatible with my stock 4.3, Well my question is if I flash this ROM will this ROM have the same problems? Or is it already using md4? This is the first time I've ran into a boot loader problem and I'm a little clueless on what to do, from my understanding md4 flashes just like a ROM correct? And do u know what the bootloader is on this ROM? Thanks for the help on this issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Roms are independent of bootloader, they aren't included nor do they require a specific bootloader version

As for that link, I believe he was referring you there because of your question on md5 checksums

mk3

Should I be surprised that after flashing Kennys new effort (bravo) and then going back to the best Rom I ever found ...3.17, I find the phone says its running Mk3. Recovered back to 3.17 by the way because I like it, but also I had a problem with Nova update (it just wouldn't) after an otherwise nice install. Followed instructions to the letter. Just thought I'd share as I don't think i had MK3 on 3.17 before I flashed the upgrade....Seems to well in any case. Hope this makes sense to the people.

need help please...

setup:

sister's Sprint Galaxy S3 blue

Clockwork recovery v5.5.0.4

was working fine on radio LJ7; with ROM: TPR (the People's ROM) v3.17 (android 4.1)

her new Galaxy watch application would not load on the old android version 4.1 (incompatible)

so I upgraded her to ROM TPR 3.31. (android 4.3) NOT KitKat.

did a full wipe.. clean install.

it worked fine.. and her watch application loaded from the playstore.

but it lost all mobile data connection. works fine on wifi. and calls and texting.

I thought I needed to load a new radio.. MK3 (because TPR 3.31 is based on MK3 radio)

so I came to this thread and go the MK3 radio

I used Clockwork recovery to flash the radio.

but still no help. at least now it trys to connect.. but errors 67.. cannot connect.

the phone still works fine.. but still no mobile data.

I even tried a full wipe again (user data, cache, dalvik) and did these different ways:

flash just the TPR 3.31 again.. same no change

flash MK3 then TPR... no change

flash TPR then MK3.. no change

downloaded a different android 4.3 ROM (MOAR v9.01).. no change

I also have the exact sprint GS3 phone ...

and tried it on my phone.. same issues!!!!!

so... please guys. what do you think is the issue?? how can I fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeWjF:
This may be a stupid question, but did you try updating the PRL and Profile?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Also try putting ##72786# into your dialer, it's a data reset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dan330:
yeah.. I could not update those without mobile data.

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.

she did update the PRL and Profiles after getting data connection back.

I want to try other modems software 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] MikeWjF:

In the past when I couldn't get mobile data, updating the PRL seem to trigger it for me somehow.

From 25015 to 25016
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swamphound:
Mine had already changed to 25016 from 25015. I think PRL updates separate from modem. I know I write PRLs frequently and it doesn't affect the modem. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Geaux Tigahs!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
No worries about not being able to downgrade this if it's not acceptable?

(just wanna be sure :) )
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Yes, correct. PRL / Profile are separate from Modem. They can, and do update those separately.

Yes you can flash modems back and forth. I have a whole stable of them thanks to [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4513677]rwilco12[/MENTION] and others. As woeful as service has been in my area that capability has been a godsend. [MENTION=1754759]prboy1969[/MENTION] Ty for confirming that for me. Just flashed MK5. MG2 gave me my first 4G ever!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Lol of course your PRL would change after updating profile/prl. If you were on a custom one anyway.

This modem does not change anything except the modem. It's literally impossible for it to change PRL's because those are stored in NVRAM, not even anywhere that can be "flashed"

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dudeman456:
Been testing MD4 and MK3 on the same device.

MK3 in my experience is weaker on signal, first time I ever reached -121 in my home. Speed does seemed improved with everything else, signal is the only issue I have found so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
Unfortunately I am getting the same experience with mine. Md4 would give me full bars on airave at home.. Now only two bars
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JrSmilez:
Very nice

I've noticed that my signal is a lot more stable. At home it would jump from 4g to 3g and down to 1x. Since flashing mk3 it has stayed on 3g most of the day. As an added bonus, by it not working so hard to go from signal to signal my battery life at home has improved. Thanks C. :good:

I think it's a supersu problem, lost root on my KFHD a couple of months back because of it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kenjesse:
Thanks for the flashable modem... just tried it with strange result. Currently running CM11 / ART / MD4. When I flashed MK3 showing 2-3bars with 3G but not able to connect to anything, Tapatalk cannot connect to server, Firefox times out just trying to connect to Google.com. Is there something else that needs to be done because I'm on CM11? (not that that makes sense to me but then I am new to this phone and the level of access I have to it's innerds...lol) Just went back to MD4 and I'm able to connect just fine...

UPDATE: Gave this another try this morning and this time it seems to be working. Can say that its any better or worse as of yet, to damn cold to be out and about were I'm at at the moment.

Don't know about that one either, but I know It came out on July 2nd, 2013. The first letter is the year, second letter is the month, and the last number is the day of the month.

Ok so after almost a full day of use it seems it's better than MD4 on my device. Better connection, and stronger signal. Didn't get a chance to do any speed tests yet. Will try tomorrow.

MikROMs Since 3/13/11
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlkaliV2:
My GS3 is flashed to Page Plus and I was a little worried that flashing the modem would affect my settings so I took a few extra steps:

1.) Learned about the EFS partition and how I needed to back it up here.

2.) Backed up my phone carrier information with EFS Professional Backup so I could restore my phone if the modem changed my settings. Link: here. For those with ADB and want to back it up manually this article will tell you how. EFS Backup Pro is easier, but life is all about choice :D

3.) After backup was complete I rebooted to recovery, flashed the modem, and rebooted.

I encountered no issues and my phone is up and running MK3. I am seeing better voice signal strength and my 3G connects faster than before. 3G before would take it's sweet time when switching back from wi-fi. Your mileage may vary, but I think this was a good update. Maybe this short guide will help some people who may be flashed to another carrier. I also learned from the first article it is really important to have an EFS backup especially when flashing roms.

Thank you CNexus for making the modem flashable for us and to everyone else involved that got this into our hands so quickly!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moduli:
Thanks for the information. So flashing MK3 modem did not alter your pageplus flash. Now I can try it myself with some certainty in mind.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlkaliV2:
My experience was very positive and if you try it out definitely let us know if it goes well for you. Most people who have flashed are going to want to update so if it goes well for a couple of us it might be there isn't much to worry about.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moduli:
Just did. No issues. Thanks a again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swamphound:
Well I've been running MK3 on my device for 24 hours and have 1 tower I can hook into 4G and have definitely better 3G. Its got me pumped because I was convinced we here in the Myrtle Beach area were going to have our network updated right after Sprint got done with Outer Mongolia;)

not the modem doing it. has nothing to do with systemui.

boot recovery wipe caches and dalvik fix permissions. then reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hondroid:
Been there, done that. It obviously does have to do with the modem. Has never happened before and now I get a message SystemUI is waiting for debugger to attach or something like that. Dafuq?!

OK keep thinking that. There not Connected at all. Two different parts of hardware. But hey you know what your doing. So why ask for help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hondroid:
No need to diss me. I'm just asking, why has this happened after I flashed this modem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
Shouldn't try flashing rom over top.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hondroid:
I haven't flashed anything though. I downloaded, installed with CWM recovery, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, and the systemui is broken :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flashing4fun:
Thanks for this. This made a huge difference in my 4g speed. Haven't been on 3g yet but will let you know how it is when I get on it. Bottom two are from updated and the others are from previous 4g tests.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tondre:
It hasn't happened to anyone else. The only logical conclusion is that it is user error. Perhaps you should factory reset and reinstall your Rom. A clean install is always a good first step for fixing a problem that no one else has...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hondroid:
Thanks mate. I guess I'll just wait for CNexus's 4.3 ROM.

Why is this thread not in the development section :(? Other radio update information is posted there. I like many others feel I have seen improvement with this latest update and would have almost not have seen it because I usually only frequent the development and original development sections.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
I've been using this for a couple of days and it's going well on my device. My signal seems to be showing lower but my actual performance is really good. I am currently on MOAR 6.1 and remember when using AOSP in the past I had lower signal showing with no reduction in performance. I've read that AOSP was more accurate than TW as an explanation. So now I'm wondering if this update has improved how accurate the signal shows. Just a thought.

Gonna give this a try. Sprint LTE here in KC is horrendous, at least wherever I usually am..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Getting much better 3G speeds here in Western NJ (no LTE around this area) with this modem. Latest speed test yielded 2.1 Mbps down / 1 Mbps up which is actually a huge improvement than before (hard to believe, but true). I now get LTE at home also, so signal is definitely stronger.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mitch3:
Do I just flash this over the new 4.3 (no knox) rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
You are on a Modem Forum so I am assuming that you want to flash the Modem. Modem is not dependent on ROM, you flash any version Modem on any flavored ROM. You just need to ensure that it is the correct carrier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
my GPS lock on WiFi was ridiculously fast
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BubZX:
I flashed this modem with MOAR almost a week ago and it has made an amazing difference in my area. Signal is stronger and 4g is faster. I love in a 4g area that has had 4g fo4 over a year and with this modem I am seeing faster speeds than I have ever had and my signal is much stronger. So what ever they did with this one they did a great job.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Just wanted to update you guys on my experience with this Modem so far. Across the board I'm getting better reception, almost everywhere. Some areas I barely have any signal, but still better than on the MD4 Modem. Call quality is the same as before, but it was great before anyway. One very noticeable improvement has been in my Data Speeds. They have gone up a good bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Yeah I love this modem update. Because where I use to have issues walking to work, going between 3G and LTE, NO MORE. Finally its smooth walking. I stream Pandora for two miles and its smooth. Even one intersection where I had really nasty choppy music, no more. Love it!

Well lucky tonight 3 bars. Barely played with it but apps that load from Web a lot more responsive

Here is the speed test
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Just sooner advice but no need to nandroid because 1) they don't include the modem and 2) worst case in flashing a modem is that you'll have worse signal, it will never mess with your installed rom in any way or cause it not to boot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beansnorice:
Yeah I know but my luck is the planets will align and moon beams will brick my device lol. All joking aside I make a good habit of doing a nandroid before I do anything. So I'm in the practice of doing it so it becomes second nature and ill never forget. But back on topic crusing around the city on delivery. 4g seems a lot faster and much more stable. I'm staying on it a lot more and not switching down to 3g as often. Battery life is showing a much improvement because of it not jumping for signal.
