[Q] Switching Service from the Evo 4G to the Epic 4G - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to switch my number from my Evo to My Epic since i will be using the Epic for a while.
My dilemma: I've been flashing with the epic already and currently running MIUI, which doesn't allow you to enter dialer codes. (which sprint needs to provision service)
Question: Do i need to ODIN back to a stock ROM or can I just flash a stock ROM to finishing swapping service? Also what is a good Stock ROM to use that also allows dialer codes?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance guys.

just odin back to ec05 for esn swapping and provisioning, then allow all the updates to be applied (ei22)(el30), then just root from there.

Unforturnetly there isn't a twdialer for cm7 or miui so you'll have to jump onto a twmtd rom no need to odin back to stock I suggest marcusantrom v3 I use it works fine for dialer activity.

[Q] I want to get back to complete stock

I have an Epic Touch 4G, and I rooted it and then flashed the Midnight Rom as I had a lot of luck with it on my old Epic 4g, but now I cannot get visual voicemail to work at all. How can I get back to stock everything, rom and kernel?

Flash this in Odin.
Go to development there's thread by acs that guides you to going back to stock using Odin.

Using sfhub's ff18 odin oc will not affect the nvram settings afaik. So flash away...

Verizon's network settings are stored in the NVRAM. Almost nothing you flash here will write to NAND or affect the NVRAM, so you're good. You may have to make some changes to your APN after the flash, though, to get mms working.

Help: getting cm10.1 without a problem.

Okay. I'm not new to android by any stretch of imagination but I am new to this phone. I just received the samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch on virgin mobile (SPH-D710vmub) running 4.1.2 out of the box and I was wondering what the full steps are to get FI27 or whatever the newest/best ics modem would be, best root method, best recovery, and I want to flash DU AOKP and not have any fears of bricking through the process. Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate it

Hello there,
I just to picked up the galaxy s 2 on virgin mobile. I'm running an ICS modem. I simply flashed the modem (zip file) in cwm. I'm running the revolt ROM with a ICS modem. I flashed the wrong modem before and my data was gone. I also made a nandroid backup but when I went to restore it failed. If your going to run the stock ROM I would flash a ICS modem. It worked for me and now I have great 3g speeds in my area. Hope this helps

Sprint GS3 Flashed to Page Plus??

OK I got the phone flashed over to Page Plus. But for the life of me I can't get into EPST ##3282#. No matter what I do the keypad dialer will not open this menu.
YouTube & Play Store will not work over data.
I'm on Freeza stock MD4 rom . Stock phone keypad
I googled and I've read that the ###3282# code was blocked in the MD4 update. So I'm assuming that I need to flash a rom that was b4 the MD4.
Could someone please tell me what rom I'm looking for?
Or unless someone knows a different way to get into EPST?
Thanks a million

My SPH-L710 was flashed to pageplus 4 days ago. What i had to do, was go to a stock, unrooted rom, let them do the flashing process, and then restore a nandroid of a different rom. I do not suggest rooting the stock rom after the flash, because it broke my wifi. I did a factory reset using Philz CWM, i wiped the dalvik cache. I rebooted the phone, rerooted, and rebooted. Still no wifi with stock MD4 that was rooted using the GS3 all in one tool.
I restored a nandroid of The Peoples Rom, and Mother of all Roms. My calls, texts, and 3G data all work with both roms. I do not know about MMS, because i do not use MMS. TPR and MOAR are both prerooted ROMs.

If you decide to go the earlier version (before MD4) route go to Billard412's thread. One flash solution. Read the OP carefully.

This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099 has a stock MD4 that also resets your flasg count. Not that the second part matters in this case. The ROM is confirmed to be stock, unrooted, and MD4 update. No surprises like messed up features or random reboots. Its a clean MD4. I would suggest making sure you have a nandroid for whatever ROM you want to use as your daily driver. So, nandroid your daily driver, go back to stock, and then restore your nandroid. Thats that i did. my talk, text, and 3G work. As far as i know, switching ROMS DOES break MMS. Of you cannot live without MMS, im afraid youll have to remain stock as far as i know. The person that flashed my GS3 wrote their own software, and has years of experience in the business. I am not saying he knows every trick, but ive been told that it is impossible to properly flash the GS3 while it has a ROM with certain custom features, or OC/UC.
Thanks, I done flashed like 4 different roms since the Page Plus flash and everything still works sms/mms/3g on each one. Her daily driver is Cm10.2 on this phone.
The guy told me if I flash a rom avoid firmware as that would wipe or corrupt the Page Plus flash. And he would charge me to have a refreshing.
He got everything flashed except he couldn't get into the ##3282# to program whatever he needed to in there.

But I get home and flash a stock unrooted rom via recovery hopefully to see if the ##3282# works if so then take it back so he can finish

[Q] Boost mobile galaxy s3 not workig after flashing a rom

This is my first post. Whenever i try to flash a sprint version of any rom on my gs3 from boost my LTE doesn't work. The only way my data will work is if i switch it to CDMA which means no 4g. I even tried dialing ##72786# to reset my data connection but that didn't work either. Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Thank you. Ill give it a try later on.

Did you try using Odin to go stock?

I finally tried something that I never did before. Before flashing the rom I wiped my dalvik and cache partition. When I did that everything worked fine. 3g and 4g is working. I'm currently on the peoples rom Thanks for the help.

I was wondering did you flash stock Sprint rom first? Also did you have to do the MMS fix? I am trying to flash a custom rom for my mothers new S3 but I am not really too sure about it since it is on Boost. If I wanted to flash back to stock, would I just use the stock Sprint firmware again? Did you flash 4.3 or an earlier version? I heard that the new 4.3 update has the Knox built in like the newer devices but not too sure if what I read was correct

That's correct. If your data doesn't work you'll have to change your APN settings since most of these ROMs are for the sprint s3 and not the boost mobile. I flash ROMs a lot and sometimes the data work so I won't have to change my APN. If you need help with that I can help

thanks very much for your reply, you are the right person ive been looking for about a month now. i have downloaded a sprint stock rom JB 4.3 from sammobile for which id be flashing to my new boost mobile s3.
the essence here is am in Ghana with this device and obviously i have to change carrier because i cant have boost service here. My phone is still fresh in box and locked for that matter (only upgraded to JB 4.3 OTA). I would just like to unlock it for NAM configuration any help? Do i realy need to flash a sprint rom first?
version (*#1234#)
AP: L710VPUBMK5
CP: L710VPUBMK5
CSC: L710SPTBMK5
PLS HELP ME UNLOCK THIS DEVICE
I really don't know how to unlock a phone but I wouldn't mess with your phone since you did the OTA update to get 4.3. You have Knox now and that's bad to have. You can mess your phone up and void your warranty if you do anything with that knox
