If you read the ROM thread, it shows you how to make sure it works on Sprint. the biggest thing was not being able to send/receive MMS. and that was changed using ##DATA# and changing the settings. its located on the thread. But its a new build and mostlikely has patches for what was wrong in FF18. But I haven't tried it.

Hey, So I was wondering which custom roms I should be able to try out now...I recently switched my Sprint GS3 to Pageplus..It's using Verizons network...Do I install Sprint Custom Roms for this phone or Verizon's version of custom roms for S3..Thanks in advance

Good question, since it was originally Sprint I would say Sprint, but you'll need a Verizon prl for data to work... take that with a grain of salt though cuz I could be wrong
Just make a backup and try some roms, worse thing that will happen is a soft brick, then Odin to the rescue! Just don't flash an international version Rom, that will hard brick you...

Thanks for the reply flash, I agree about not using international roms for these phones, although I haven't tried any, I was able to see through some digging around that they generally don't work out...I flashed Sprint's version rom along with a sprint-verizon hybrid prl which is looking good so far..txt, calling, data and mms all working
I installed the phantomblaze 2.1, 5176 prl and finally flashed the TPR-MB.zip to get rid of the OTA updates pop up..5176 prl gets rid of the constant roaming notifications, that's why I chose to flash that prl for anyone that comes in looking..did a lot of research and the forum was very helpful..If anyone finds themselves in a similar situation, feel free to msg and I can help u out through the process..I am still curious to whether verizon roms would work if anyone has any experience with that, please share..thanks

My gf just got the s3 for sprint. I have verizon. but she had a iphone and got good signal but now shes on the s3 she gets no signal at work. i updated the pri and profile but nothing helps. anyone know what i can do? thanks!
The Signal is dependent on many variables. Switching Carriers would be one of the those. It may that her previous Carrier had better coverage there. If she is Rooted, you could try a different Firmware / modem combo. If she is not, then the only thing you can do is Update PRL /Profile as you stated you alraedy did.
A signal booster helps tremendously! I had great coverage with my previous carrier but when I switched to Sprint I wouldn't get hardly a single bar, if any, in my condo. I installed a booster at home and problem solved!

It all depends on whether her device is Rooted or not ? If it is I would first check what the Baseband is currently. It will give an indication of what to do next. Also if her device is Rooted you may want to check out THIS thread.

its not rooted atm but will be when she lets me use it lol. thank you!
Your welcome. If it's not Rooted, and she will not let you yet. At least make sure it is on the latest OTA.
You may have 4g coming your way! My signal was completely abysmal. Now I have full 4g.

Make a Nand Backup. Flash a TW Rom. Turn on WiFi, and Update PRL / Profile. Check to see it worked. If that doesn't work. While still on a TW Rom go to the Dial Pad, and dial ##72786# .
Hey guys. Anyone know if the Boost Mobile GS3 is rooted just like the Sprint variant? I should be able to install the Sprint ROM on there, right?
Right???

Kinda, base bands are different. Which baseband you currently on? If its mk5, then check HERE. Sprint ROMs will work, but if you wanna kitkat ROM, you have to change some assert lines using c++ notepad, then rezip the ROM.

Sprint roms will work, but there may be some issues like MMS, etc.
Hi I'm sorry if this has already been answered , but is it safe to just flash any sprint/boost Rom to the Sprint version of the s3 ? Again it is flashed to Boost currently , so would putting a boost ROM instead of "modified" sprint stock ROM work ?
Sorry if it sounds confusing I just wanted to clear that up, in my eyes I'm figuring that since it is sprint, and flashed to boost, installing a new ROM would mess with the flash and put it back to sprint, which of course we don't want.
I just wanted to double check with the community before flashing away, thanks in advance for any answers.

I believe it would work just fine, i recently flashed a stock sprint ROM to my out of box Boost S3, Problem here is you might find it difficult getting Boost Stock ROMs especially the JB 4.3. you might also want to do NAM Backup before you proceed in flashing.

Yes you can, although you might need to make carrier-specific changes to get working MMS

I had the boost variant..now its my mothers..lol
But yes you can flash any sprint rom just fine..i also found that i had better service with sprint modems. Although it only goes one way with the modems. Boost can use sprint..but sprint i dont think can use boost.
And you will need to change your apn's to have data and mms working. There are different ways to do this, depending if you flash touchwiz or a cm, aokp, aosp based rom.
A quick google should supply the boost apn settings… as i dont remember all of them. And there are guides, myself and others here to help with the how to if you need it.
There was a zip file to fix boost apns at one time.. but i think it became outdated or unusable..as i had it but always just edited them myself. Its very easy.
Link to the old mms fix zip for boost. Not sure if its still viable. But my mother has this device and i will be at her house next monday. So i can post her mms settings then..if you need them.
