The op in Singularity states that its based off of ND8 even though he modified it for Boost/VM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] remotehugger:
OK, so it's something in the ROM making it compatible then correct ?

VM GSIII/jdsingle76's deodexed NDC 4.4.2/stock kernel ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
The fact that it's based on ND8... I think it's the opposite way around, something in NDC is preventing it from working... The kernel was built for ND8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] remotehugger:
and when flashing kernel on this ROM, we lose all data - at least I did anyways - so crazy -

VM GSIII/jdsingle76's deodexed NDC 4.4.2/stock kernel ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jreink01:
Hello all/ I am trying to flash the conquest rom in which I need the 4.2 bootloader. I read the instructions and it said I need odin. Where can I get that?? I googled odin and it came up with many different versions of odin, which if I read it right, a specific version is for a particular phone. Can someone link me to the odin version I need for the S3 I have on boost mobile? Also, I am currently on 4.3 liquid smooth rom, if I choose, will I be able to just flash back to one of my backups without having to change bootloaders? Thanks for the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
As far as I know, all Odin versions are for all Samsung Android phones, but I would suggest you go with v3.07.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steve1040:
I just want to make sure I understand this ROM

Flashing this ROM onto my Sprint Siii will then allow me to activate the phone with Boost - Is that correct?

I've never used Boost before but I'm looking to get away from contracts and this would be perfect.

Thanks

Steve
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darkside920:
No. In order for your Sprint S3 to work on Boost, you'll have to flash the phone over to the Boost network. You can easily brick your device if you do it wrong, so it's not something to try on your own if you're not sure how to do it.

If you seriously want to use a Sprint S3 on Boost, your best bet is to find someone to flash it for you (try Craigslist), but you won't be able to use 4G on Boost either way.

The better option is to sell your Sprint S3 and buy a Boost branded phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Ting and FreedomPop are good prepaid services you can use without having to flash your device.

Virgin mobile rep told me a few weeks ago that I'm February they will be allowing you to bring ur own phone..... So ur sprint s3 would work with virgin mobile without issue....

Just an FYI....

And again, that's what I was told be a VM rep when I asked if they had the program in march (sorry, months ago).... But would start it I'm February, and advertise it in January....

My phone won't complete the hands free activation. I followed the rules and did everything correct. I was investigating and found something. I press ##3282# to see if my mmsc settings were correct and there's nothing there. I can add the mmsc, mmsc proxy and port but it doesn't save. I need help asap

Edit: I fixed my problem by downloading the odexed version of it and I also flashed ktoonez touchwiz kernel. Then I was able to fix my APN settings and get my device activated.

after flashing ktoonez kernel you still have data and WiFi ? I can't use any kernels on this build yet :(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] russ722:
I have a boost mobile galaxy s3 710 model. Anyways i had 4.4.2 on it then flashed the cm12 lolipop rom thats oyt now. If i flash this would i need the tar file or can i just use the rom zip since i already had 4.4.2 on the device before?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
It should work fine, BUT since you flashed CM, if it were me, I would flash the tar first and start from scratch. CM and TW don't play well together sometime.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] russ722:
Thank you for the reply, i was hoping i wouldnt have to download the tar fe being its 1.5 gb.thats just crazy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
AOSP does not count as having 4.4.2 in this case. Unless your baseband says NDC in Settings/About Phone then your need to use the tar. This ROM will not work without the 4.4.2 firmware (which is not included in any ROM)

My ROM: WICKED X
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
So true, but he mentioned having 4.4.2 before flashing CM.

Anyone having problems with instagram and snapchat? Instagram force closes and snapchat wont play the videos
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
That doesn't sound like a ROM issue as much as it does a KK app compatibility issue. When we got this build, it didn't take long to figure out that Google's attempt to make things more secure by not allowing apps to write where they used to on older builds caused FC of apps and caused general havoc. Try completely deleting the app and reinstalling it so it creates a new path to write to, and see if that helps. Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] remotehugger:
i dont use either app but I installed Instagram and was able to make an account - no FC's - didn't try Snapchat - but id say it would work -

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] russ722:
Thanks for clearing that up. One last question if ibflash this and it doesn't go as planned will it brick the permently or what's the worse case scenario?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm sure there's one or more ways someone could mess it up if they, for instance, remove the USB cable while it was flashing. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone bricking their phone with Odin unless you count people trying to downgrade their firmware while already on a Knox bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kp20kp:
Ive done that multiple times. I also had this same problem when I tried the sprint version of the rom by cnexus (I think it was him). I even made both apps system applications to no avail. I even used recovery go clear the cache. Not to mentiin that I had this problem on both odexed and deodexed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] russ722:
Ok i have the ndc base band,i was running lolipop 5.0 on the boost phone.

I flashed this odex version of the rom,and rebooted. My question is how long is the rom suppose to load up it been about 8 minutes and its still showing the samsung logo.what did i do wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
At least ten minutes on the first boot... If not, I'm guessing you didn't do a full wipe... Which would be system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. It could also be a bad download, make sure you check the md5sum.

Unless you snagged it from kies and it is the tar, I don't think so. I hear it's showing up on kies so I'll try and grab it on my wife's phone when I get back in town if someone doesn't beat me to it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
The only thing you can do with the OTA is take the update on unrooted stock... Which is what I did on ND8. So I got a few days jump start on modding the apks. That's about all you can do with it... play around.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] allrockedout:
That was happening to me to you need to factory reset from stock recovery. Flash stock.tar in Odin and than boot to stock recovery, wipe than flash stock again. Should fix it, I was having write permissions problems. Not because this Rom but because of the lollipop builds I believe.

Where in wanam I'm not seeing it anywhere?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Pariah24:
I fixed it somehow. I managed to flash xposed 2.4.1, then downloaded the sd write module, enabled it, then it finally created a 2.6.1 recovery zip like it's supposed to.

Wutever...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
In case you need a refresher!

Here's a quick guide on how to snag the OTA tarball from Kies before it flashes itself to your phone. Timing is everything, so make sure you're quick before the file deletes itself!

1. Click on Start->Run, enter %temp% and press ENTER. First thing before you go into Kies, clear this folder out.

2. Keep that explorer window open and handy. I also suggest open another to where you want to copy it to(create new folder on desktop and keep it open).

Open Kies, let it download. As soon as it starts flashing, look for a folder with the tarball or search for .tar.md5 in the %temp% folder you have open. Copy/paste it to your new folder. Done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Pariah24:
I think some OTA update happened before I could stop it right after I flashed this. Stuff is acting weird.

[MENTION=5076590]jdsingle76[/MENTION] - will kies ever even show an update if my phone has it downloaded and ready to install ? or should I just try and install it so it doesn't show up on my phone anymore ?

from my VM SGS3 - jdsingle76's rooted 4.4.2 NDC - stock kernel (for now ?) ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It wouldn't do the OTA on its own, and it wouldn't flash if you're rooted or have a custom recovery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] remotehugger:
its odd, when you first told me to look in cache, it was there, but now, when I look in cache, its gone - idk where it went ???

Ok so I flashed this rom on NJ3 modem but WiFi isn't working. I'm also having permissions problem like before instagram force close, Android manager force close.

Or should i flash the ndc modem.zip?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ravollmer:
Use caution i dont think you can flash back. I could be wrong but a brick would suck....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
I've not gotten other baseband modems to work with Knox'd up KK builds. So that's most likely your problem, using a NJ3 modem on NDC build. If you haven't flashed NJ3 tar yet, you're still on NDC bootloader. You have two options. Flash back to NDC modem, or flash the NJ3 tar and never look back(like other folks have said, you can't flash down after you flash up). Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] allrockedout:
I just cant find the full tar for NJ3 on the interweb.

Looks like it's not available on kies yet, so it won't be available for "capture" until that happens.

Well, I've tried that with wife's S3, and it fails, but still downloads and shows ready to install. It should show up. I had 4.4.4 downloaded to my S5 and it still showed up as needing an update in Kies. So yeas, it should.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Pariah24:
I gotcha...philz won't let it flash. Do you have any idea what might be in that OTA update? It downloads right after I flash this NDC rom. It's about 90mb. I'm guessing some Boost Mobile bloatware maybe? That "Mobile ID" crap and Boost Mobile wallpapers have installed OTA on my phone before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Samsung makes change logs too[emoji6]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Pariah24:
ugh...It keeps trying to install the update, and the battery is too low to even reboot to make it go away. It seems like it won't charge at all. Is there a way to kill this?

edit: battery health is showing good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Long press on the Notification, hit App Info, then Uncheck "Show Notifications". Or you can change your build.prop to match the version number of the update (look in /cache, that's where it's downloaded to).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Pariah24:
I understand. I'm mainly concerned about the battery. It started refusing to charge over 3% when this OTA thing got all pushy that's why I'm wondering if they're related :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I doubt it but if it is auto installing it very well could be... Does it charge more than that with the power off? Access to another battery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] allrockedout:
Its a new modem NJ3 and some security updates. I've noticed better service on the NJ3. The only way to update is Odin the ndc tar and than update. You can't have custom recovery like twrp or Philz. You have to have stock recovery.

Has anyone on the NJ3 tried odin back to NDC? Just wondering is it safe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Pariah24:
It was stuck at 3% even when off. The cable just went bad. It was just kinda weird because it happened at the same time as some other issues. But it's charging again. Sadly somebody at Thanksgiving dinner mixed up and stole my original Samsung charger, which sucks. :(

Can you root on the NJ3 baseband? If there's a signal improvement with NJ3 and I can root it that would be great. I'm in somewhat of a dead spot in the bottom floor of my house; I lose LTE in and around my house. It comes back after less than half a block. Pretty frustrating.

I Odin to stock, took the update, but than I flashed this ndc rom. Was having problems. So I flashed ktoonz kernel and everything's fixed but I'm only getting 3g.

I messed up by odin to stock, than I flashed this rom in stock recovery than I updated to the nj3. So I have no official nj3 backup. I had no idea the update contained updated modem.

Good because it all came up roses so I didn't think I would need to! Ahhh this is so good my phone is working again.

--I don't think I could have flashed the modem anyway? Or I could have, but I couldn't guess what could go wrong doing that. Once it came back up it told me I had a System Update (which I received) and it put me back on NJ3. Now I would just like to root it and get my backups from TB.
