Need Someone in Southeast US

I have an idea to get an OTA for EG31 phones. I need someone from the Southeast US who is on EG31 to PM me. I will tell you up front it has a low chance for success, but it is worth a shot since we don't know how long it will take for the official OTA to come out.
I prefer someone who got on EG31 through no fault of their own (i.e. sprint flashed it or you received it like that), but this is not a requirement, it will just increase the success rate.
I will update this post when I found someone (and definitely bump the thread if you are on eg31 and want the ota sooner rather than later). Unless this post explicitly says otherwise, I am still looking.

PM'd. I am in Orlando.

im in SE texas.. and i know a lot about flashing the phone and what not, I just had to make a new xda username. So ignore my member status

Don't know how "southeast" you need one to be for your experiment, but I'm in southern Texas and consider myself technically savvy. Hit me up if I can be of use.

Any luck with this?

No contact from the OP thus far. Only been a few hours for me, though.

why are you going to wait a week or so? why not just do it now?

Welcome to the E4GT and welcome to XDA...
Hopefully the reason for waiting is because you never rooted a phone before. If that is the case, as easy at it is to root this phone, reading about everything first is the way to go...
If you do not about rooting and have done it before, no need to wait. It can be done in a matter of minutes.

Wait... Whats the point of this thread again? lol.

Corrupt sd card (internal memory)

Hey guys i have been having some real trouble working with sgs2 its a real pain now...I have a corrupted hard disk and its write protected doesn't allow to flash anything and i have tried every damn procedure even pushing it through the adb but the administrator does not allow to read it. I can flash nothing on it and the worst part is i cant even brick it even through odin. My friend who is a developer himself and works at telus wasnt able to do anything himself...Tried that even.. The phone is rooted and running Juggernaut 5.0 along with darkside kernel. It has been almost two months now since this problem has persisted...Is there any way i can brick my phone like hard brick that the phone does not turn on or just show black screen i want to get it replaced still have warranty..i paid 590 bucks for this phone and cant even sell it since i cant erase the memory. Please help me out with it.
Thanks

You've posted this same problem twice before. Posting it a third time isn't gonna help you.

Well he still has not received help. Why would you make a ****ty post like that. Help the guy or don't post.

If you want to brick it flash an Odin kernel package from different phone.
Edit: I missed that you tried Odin already on my first read through.
Really strong magnets, maybe?

He has received answers in his other posts and I only said what I said up there because double/triple posting is against the rules and I didn't want him to get in trouble.

You can brick your device by flashing junk to the sbl1 block

Well i did receive answers and they were very supportive as well but it did not solve the problem and to be honest i did not even know the nature of the phone until now. I believe it would not harm anyone.
I just need a little help and i will be willing to donate as well.

Damn, still? That sucks dude!

Odin back to stock and then reflash your ROM. Backup your internal sdcard before, Odin to stock wipes it.

ugh is right. damn it.
sorry i didn't see this sooner.... sometimes simply rebooting your phone will fix it... it is probably lost indefinitely now. shouldn't have odined the device with it not showing your IMEI, that was bad advice.
in your spot right now, and somebody please jump in here and correct me if i am wrong, i know of no way to fix it. sorry buddy

I know there is way to restore it I just don't know how.

yeah there is, but you have to have a backup of your original IMEI... which i assume you do not have. there is a thread about this issue in the dev section, and toolkit to back up your IMEI
just out of pure curiosity, what recovery are you using?

Nope, I do not have a backup.

Just search in the development section for imei recovery and there is one to get it back even without a backup. Might be issues with you not actually getting 4g again but this way you can return it back to complete stock.

Will do. Hope I get 4G.. that was my main purpose on T-Mo.

Thanks a lot for your help and the quick reply dude. Greatly appreciated! I did get back my IMEI.
Checking if its right.... stand by... YUP! it is correct. Now, im going to try and get my 4G back.. my main purpose.

Do any of you guys know how to restore 4G?

had the same problem, restored IMEI but still no 4G, luckily was able to still exchange the phone within the 2 week period... good luck

flashing without following the instructions
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

That's not true. Very experienced android flashers have lost theirs, it's a fluke within the recovery and flashing a rom or modem anything being flashed has been reported to make it being lost. Only thing is I think TRWP hasn't been reported to cause it being lost. Anywho... back it up.

Unless the s3s in diff batches are really different.
Has to be sloppy flashing. Jumping to jellybean without wiping data or using superwipe from the Hercules or something.
I've tried losing my imei.
I can't do it.
I had 3 s3s in my hand tonight. Posted with 2
Maybe using cwm from a different phone besides Sprint?

There is a huge thread about the matter with a Google docs spread sheet with some good info deep in the threads somewhere.
