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 ??

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.
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.

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.

^^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
So yeah I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919V) by Videotron which I then unlocked, sadly I had the surprise of not having access to LTE so I came here immediately in order to find a solution, which I sort of did but didn't work as well as people claimed it would. I downloaded T-Mobile's stock ROM (M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB ) and extracted it to get my modem.bin which I then put in a .tar to flash in Odin with no success, instead I go a Security Check Fail error. I've then did some Google search which brought me to a few threads here and there with other people with similar issues but no actual clear explanation on how to go through this, any idea or optimal solution for this? It would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jon

After further research, I came across a few information which draws me to a different issue that could probably be causing the rest.
Apparently Odin has to read my phone and show a yellow box to say that it's actually working and ready to go? I already had the latest Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones and USB Debugging Mode enabled but I still do not get that said yellow box and it keeps giving me Auth Fail errors with literally ANYTHING I flash on my phone whether its a Custom Recovery, a Modem or even a mere input in Android Terminal Emulator, it's as if my phone was completely blocked from any type of outside source for whatever reason, never had this problem before. Anything that I could be missing?
So I managed to install a custom recovery and rooted it, so basically, the issue isn't Odin, it's a modem compatibility issue, my current modem is M919VVLUAMG1 which is from Videotron and doesn't support LTE, and on this exact website people said that it was possible to flash a modem.bin from T-Mobile's firmware in order to be able to get my LTE back but this leaves me with an Auth Fail error all the time. I'm really desperate here and the lack of support is saddening.
The temporary solution that I found is simply installing the latest T-Mobile Cyanogen Mod on my device and I got my LTE back but that isn't what I am looking for, so until I find a more solid solution I'll stick to this.

Is that 10.1 or 10.2 CM? You got LTE with calls to work with that?
10.2 RC2, set your APN to the proper LTE one, it'll show you 4G but in reality its LTE, its written in the CyanogenMod's FAQs and I also did a speed test which got me 45 Mbps DL and 25 Mbps UL
I have had consistent issues flashing this s3 sprint to boost mobile.
My main two questions are where is the general knowledge you guys have about qpst , qpxt, dfs and cdma workshop coming from ?
I mean there are 10 + guides on the sprint s3 to boost BUT all the guides to not explain a thing. Neither do any other guides for other flashes. The are only explicit directions. Which I have followed and consistently get errors no matter the variable that I change ( different roms mainly ).
I have searched the internet from morning to night trying to find answers and it seems this giant ball of knowledge about these programs is either hidden or not there for some odd reason.
Either way I can post up screen shots of the errors if that would help.
Or does someone know 100 % of a current working guide?
Any help will be much appreciated as I agreed to flash a phone after only rooting 4-5 phones and being very knowledgable of that area assuming from all the threads on how to flash phones interpreting them as a "doable" task but this is some deep stuff.
I retract my statement about being able to post screen shots as I do not have the required 10 posts yet. I am not that knowledgeable about quite a few things on this site so looking to learn a lot.
I am assuming I can still send a link to the screenshot via PM for anyone feeling crazy enough to help. :good:
99428813
And now after trying flash a few different roms I am getting a new error in dfs - get sec code cds error. That is after sending what has previously worked as the spc. Does the spc change ? I would presume it doesn't.
This should steer you in the right direction.

Thank you for the post! I did try that one. My phone at this moment will not let me get passed the put your password/spc in portion of the guide.
I actually purchased the Galaxttoboost.com guide and it worked well on the incognito side but the galaxy side it failed.

You have to downgrade your rom for the old password to work. I forget how far you have to downgrade, maybe 4.1.1? I don't remember but that is what you have to do. I am also not sure if there are any implications if you have knox in your bootloader. There might be, read up on that.

LIF_update_FULL_Odex (4.1.1).zip (
Per the galaxytoboost.com guide this is the needed rom to access msl info and is whats currently downloaded. They did specify another rom to use with QXDM that I just noticed. Is that normal?
And I just found out that under baseband version ( where the label for what bootloader I have ) it says unknown.....

The new rom yielded the same results. No msl via the get my msl app or no response via getprop ril.MSL in terminal. Same response in QXDM as well. When I put in password and the correct 01f..... password for the 4.1.1 it displays the error - RequestItem - Error response received from target.
What would make my phone completely unresponsive to these programs????
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.
