Try updating profile/prl in system updates and reboot. If that doesn't fix it contact sprint and have them attempt to push it through reactivation.
But no, simply rooting the device will not solve the problem you're explaining. If the above steps don't work, just swap it out?? Clearly its not a widespread issue and likely has something to do with its activation.

Assuming you or he already updated the profile and PRL correctly and talked with Sprint (while on the phone to assure it is registered correctly!) I'd recommend using sfhub's stock root [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101] This provides a clean start with el29 modem, kernal and stock ROM, and provides root access. Since he's having problems I'd do a FULL restore (reset user data). I'd then use Auto Root with CWM - option C [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728]. That will give you a stock rooted phone with CWM for recovery and additions. Make sure all works. That may be enough. It could be just horrible reception at his place. Might want to check out an Airave device. There are also posts on how to tweak 3g/4g speeds [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265990] Then if all is working maybe think about another ROM. I'm loving Blazer. Calkulin's and Strong Steve's are also super. Good luck.

Well I think it's mainly to fix the bugs so when we do get JB we have no issues.

Anyone know if this will come to the phone through the software update option?
In other words, is this official?

Why not just flash the update in stock recovery? You can use ota rootkeeper to protect root.
Also the pro version of mobile odin will flash any of the full fw releases as well as the otas, and it'll reinject root during the process. (Its now my preferred method)
Most people arent going to want to give you their nandroid. theres too much personal info on it. Even those like me who make one right after flashing will be very cautious about this. Theres almost always something in there that is easily forgotten to clear. You could get lucky and find someone willing to do it, just dont get your hopes up too much.

Hey doc got some questions for ya. I came to the gs3 from nexus s 4g. With the ns4g I could always just flash new ROMs and updates in cwm. It seems the process is a bit more complicated on gs3. I purchased mobile Odin, and I've used the PC version a couple of times, but I'm not that comfortable with it. First day I got my gs3 I flashed Mr. Robinson's root injected uvlah2 and just stuck with that. A couple nights ago I finally flashed a new radio and it has helped my signal. I want to make sure my phone is ready for the jb update so what would you suggest?

[Q] Noob wanting to put the Sprint JB leak on his S3

Like everyone and their mother, I am tired of waiting. I am completely lost in the forums, and I know I will get all kinds of crap for posting this. Since my S3 is my main, I have 1 big question... What is the easiest way to put the official JB leak on my S3 while maintaining the ability to accept the OTA when Sprint pushes it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am brand new to this, I have tried reading all the basics but I just want to be sure. Thank You.

It's no way to root Jellybean and then accept the OTA as far as I know.

if i understand the SGS3 right, all you have to do is flash to stock unrooted, accept the official OTA update then use odin again and root. but why bother unrooting to accept the OTA when you can jsut flash a rooted port of JB. Plus if you take the OTA update and then reroot and flash a custom rom, then the whole process taken to get the OTA was a waste of time.

Ok, but if I flash the zip from here do I NEED to flash the kernal? Also, can install this over the top of rooted stock?
Thanks

Read the OP of the link. You need to clear caches and data as a general recommendation. The kernel is up to you, it comes with one already.

Thanks everyone, your replies are helping me make my decision. I'm just nervous about the whole process. I guess I just want what the OTA will offer but don't want to wait for it!

To root is the answer.

Trust me. within HOURS of the "official" release there will be copies here on the forums rooted and all other crap.
SO install the leak and forget the OTA all together. once the OTA is posted here (likely prerooted etc..) just flash that.
SUPER freaking easy once you have done it once you won't have any issues in the future.
just remember check check again and then check again that your flashing a compatible (SPRINT) rom. and you should be just fine.

Just in case anyone cares, I flashed freeza's LIH and I am thoroughly impressed. Battery life seems a little lower but other than that, it's running perfect. Thanks to all who encouraged me to go further down the rabbit hole!

Keep going by reading the thread more. The battery issue with the LIH leak has been brought up hundreds of times, and there are several solutions.

I am running Jellybean now and would never unroot to take a OTA. Like others have said on here before the OTA comes out we will already be on it.

the easiest way is to root install clockwork or twrp (WARNING twrp does not appear to be able to access a 64gb card have not tried CWM)
then flash LIH (very stable no issues really)
when the OTA comes out you just come back here and install the "rooted" version of the OTA. I would be surprised if we did not get it first.
OUR updates are EASIER than the downloaded OTA
these are MASSIVE files. let your PC and home internet connection do the work of downloading the update and then simply "flash" the new update. faster easier safer etc. etc..

Thanks all, running LIH with LIG modem. Still can't find which modem is best to run for battery life though... With that being said, I am serching through the forums looking for the best one.

" The battery issue with the LIH leak has been brought up hundreds of times, and there are several solutions."
Can you elaborate? what thread is best for this? I noticed LIH is MUCH better on battery life than the last leak if I can make it even better than it is that would always be welcome

So you suggest using the LIH modem over the LIF and LIG? And out of curiosity, what are people referring to when they that the ROM "settles in" over a couple days? Once again thanks for everyone's help

when a rom settles, it simply means the software kinda learns how you operate it, kernal learns how you use your phone, such as how often and what you open on a daily basis. usually first couple of days, battery can be horrible, its gets better as you use your newly downloaded rom.

Thank you very much for explaining that to me! I just flashed both the LJ1 update and modem... I'm gonna rock this through the week and let it "settle in". So far so good!

You've made the right move kid. I was in exactly the same situation as you, but I eventually took the plunge. If you do get yourself in trouble, do a good bit of studying on this website. Copy a few posts that you think will help, then post your plan on here. These guys don't mind helping you out as long as they know you put some work into it.

Synergy r484

Kinda new to the xda still trying to figure out rules. Kudos to the synergy guys tried a couple different roms and I'm addicted to this rom and is features. Just flanged the r484 and am support happy the mms issue wad fixed. Multi Window flawless. No problems with cameras. The only thing I have had issues with is reception 4g/3g. It seemed more stable with r433. Using ziggy and used custom install with pre selected synergy recs. If this post is on the wrong spot mod please fix. If someone has an answer for me greatly appreciated

Have you tried changing your modem ? Or going to a different ROM and updating prl and profile ?

Changing modem? Haven't heard that one yet. If you could elaborate on that one that would help. As for prl and profile I'll try that but I didn't have the issue with the previous build. Should I just try flashing stock and update? Then reflash. My area hasn't changed. Stock and previous r434 build I had very constant and strong 4g everywhere. With the r484 it can't make up its mind between 3g/4g. Thanks Daniel for the info

You change your modem through Odin. Been a while since I've done it (on HTC for a while there when my Epic broke it's charge port) but as I recall you put the phone in download mode, put them modem in the 'Phone' field after downloading it to your computer, and fire away. Do check the instructions first, I'm going off of memory from six months ago.... Some radios work better with some phones than others. Depends on your device.

I know right. I hate how the only way to root the newer HTC devices is by doing sketchy wire tricks.

Dunno about the ET4G, but my Epic was fairly easy to root. But the GS3 was much easier. My wife's Photon Q was about the same as the GS3.

I had an HTC but never played with it due to watching a friend ruin multiples of them. So I never attempted. Had my gs3 for three days before I rooted and started modding. For never doing this before and having mediocre comp skills this was fairly simple. Just want to make sure I cover my bases before doing something wrong.

Painfully slow data connection

Hi everyone, I'm back with more questions. But first let me give a huge thanks to all that have helped me with other things. You guys helped me go from some who was terrified of the though of rooting and flashing to someone who not only rooted but has tried a few different Roms. That's huge for me as I am not a technically minded person. Thanks everyone! I hope I can help someone someday as much as in have been helped here.
Now for my question.
Since I have flashes my first custom ROM I have been getting horrible data speeds on 3g and 4g. I'm talking it takes me back to the AOL dial up days kind of slow.
I figured that I needed to update my prl/profile so I asked how to, and i did that. But no change in data speeds.
So here I am scratching my head as what to do next. Any suggestions?

We need more info. What ROM are you currently on? Have you tried updating the APN file? If you flash the latest Carbon you will have the best speeds available for AOSP based ROMs. If you flash nexOgen or Optimus you will be on Stock based Roms that have slightly better data speeds. Or you LGNPST back to the orginal factory set up and see if that makes a difference.

Lol I forgot to include the info.
I'm running the latest carbon nightly 4.3
Honestly I haven't a clue what a apn file is so I don't believe I have updated it. How would I go about doing that?
