Okay so the DFS tools site is down http://www.cdmatool.com ... And I can't get my GS3 to load in QPST or QXDM... It loads in CDMA Workshop... I am not discussing how to flash phones, I am flashing mine, but I can't help you since that is against the ToS...
But if anyone can help me get this phone to load in one of these programs so I can successfully flash my GS3 I will be forever grateful! Or even a link to the new DFS program, and not 1.xx.xx whatever, the first one that ever was released.
Thank you very much.

OK someone posted some pretty detailed instructions for doing the S3 on boost so I gave it a go.
failed. can not get the S3 to be "read" in QXDM so can't write anything to it.
The fellow who MADE the directions tried to help me but we can not get it readable in QXDM
QPST shoes com but says no phone and qxdm just says waiting.
now he DID this to hos S3 and it worked BUT now when he plugs HIS S3 into QXDM he also gets no phone and "waiting"
SO we are thinking its the ROMS on the phone. I have one ICS and one JB (same results for both) but both are non stock (I am downloading a stock rom now to see if that does anything)
anyone have any idea's ??
Ok, so I wasn't paying attention to what I downloaded and ended up trying to flash an AT&T Galaxy S2 ROM on my T989. I ended up with a total brick and the only way it can be read is via QPST, the Qualcomm tool.
Now, from what I can tell - and I've not messed with this before - I need to flash back a restore image in order to get the phone back. But I haven't been able to find one anywhere. I might be very naive (and probably am...) but it would seem to me that if someone downloaded the QPST tool and did a backup then I could use those files.
Again, if anyone has any experience with this it would be much appreciated. Clearly the phone is salvageable, but just not without a lot of work

Hey Guys,
I have a sprint galaxy s3 that i would like to flash over to metro.
Tools i already have:
CDMA Workshop 2.7
DFS 4.3.1
QPST 2.7
QXDM 3.12
i got these in a zip online saying it was the package needed to flash sprint galaxy s3 over to metro pcs. I have no clue where to start with these, i've tried to search the forums and found several tutorials but i'm confused. Some say i have to change my imei to esn and some say i have to an MSL number.
Please help, i'm a first timer at flashing but i've rooted a few galaxy's. I don't want to pay $85 to $100 to just flash my phone.
Any help (Step by step) will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!:good:

i have flashed my sprint s3 (SPH-L710) to Virgin Mobile USA which i think will be like yours (CDMA)
all i can say is this
there are quite a few different guides out there (boost, page plus and even cricket)
virgin mobile and metro pcs are a little different but not much.
you are going to have to do research and alot of trial and error.
you will use a mixture of all those tools you listed above to get the results done
i know may way around these apps now and which ones can get certain things done and which ones report wrong info.
i still can not even change my SPC code to a new code like 000000
i see lots of guides on how to do it and i follow them to the letter and they do not work
i then asked for help and no one says anything
the info is out there you just have to read
flashed galaxy s3 sprint to metro
Hello,
I was able to flash my phone using odin 3.4, metropolis and a stock rom. There are alot of tutorials on youtube but my only issue is i have no mobile network. I can not figure out how to get an MDN, MEID for metro. I was able to flash my iphone fully but i can not get a mobile network even when i change the mobile network on the device.
Metro MEID

You have to have Metro put your MEID in their database.Not many Metro stores will do that for you. But there are a lot on the internet that will. They usually charge $10.00. Just look on craigslist for shops that flash phones to metro.They will be able to have your # put in the database.
I hope that is the answer you needed and that I've understood your question right.
Also, you shouldn't even have to go in to a Metro store to have it activated. Once the correct #'s are in the phone and the MEID is in their database it should program like any other when getting activated.
HELP

^^Hello, i know this post is old but i have been searching all over the wed for days now on how to flash a sprint SPH-L710 to virginmobile, coul you explain to me your steps on how you did it? thank you
I am trying to get my vm intercept to work on page plus. First I tried to root it and was unsuccessful. Next I tried to us SWUpdate to flash a sprint rom. It gave me the error unable to open bin file. Also my sd card slot is broken. I really want to flash the sprint rom so I can update the prl. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think anyone will want to help us. I asked for help with rooting my backup phone, which is an Intercept. Still no response. I hope you get it taken care of!
Yeah, I was getting that feeling when I looked around this part of the forums. Maybe Someone can help me with SWUpgrade(cannot open bin file), I think I could achieve the rest if I could get that to work. This is where I got the sprint rom: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1691827-Intercept-free-stock-ROMs-and-apps!
Hi all, I've never been to this side of the forums, I'm usually in the AT&T s3 threads. So heres whats going on my cousin has VM and a friend of his gave him a Sprint S3 thinking he could activate on VM since they use the sprint network. Well he found out he couldn't do it directly. but after a quick search on google we found that it could be done. Ive been searching here and google and got a lot of info on the procedure but couldn't find a step by step tutorial. Ive already rooted the S3 and flashed a TWRP recovery, Downloaded Conquest rom for it.
I also have downloaded the CDMA tools DFS tools, how to use it i'm clueless. IS there a video or tutorial on this?
After reading this thread several times :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060085
The donor phone is a LG optimus V
I know that 4g isnt going to happen, unless he had a 4g donor.
Do I need to root the LG phone to get the MSL info via apk like MYMSL Reader?
Is DIAG mode ##DIAG# from the phone dialer?
What is the samsung password and how do I get it?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated....
I know the only way you used to be able to get the msl on the optimus v was to use CDMA workshop. Its been years since I have had one, so there might be an easier way now.
