So I have my s3 rooted in stock.all I have done is root...wanted to backup imei before flashing any roms. As I was looking at my imei and serial number and realized that my eri said not available. Is this a bad thing? Phone seems to work great and I've had no problems...but when I look online allot of people say it's a bad thing? Any advice would be appreciated.
Also when I enter dialpad # to get phoneutils I get a force close ( on stock dialer) and ideas?
Edit* or does someone have a att stock phone? Could you tell me what your eri says?

My phone that is AT&T stock 4.0.4, with the upgrade from about a month ago, says ERI, not available, and have had no issues with the phone at all. What it means I have no clue

So just curious u were able to flash a Verizon rom on your tmobile s3. Didn't have to change anything besides the apn?

That's what it appears he is saying.

Wouldn't be too surprising really. Aside from slightly different radios, aren't all the US variants (canadian too) virtually identical hardware-wise? It would stand to reason that they would carry the same partition layouts as well.
Though I wouldn't go flashing away without verification of that!

My thoughts at least, I flashed a few at&t roms with no issues besides build.prop stuff. I'm with you on not flashing things though lol.

Yes the baseband stayd the same .I was pretty excited been using it for a week.battery life is good screen is on top of the list then system.so far beside using hiapn for apn settings it has been really stable one or two reeboots that I can remember from restoring youtube a delete and market install fixed that.
How did you bypass the verizon network verification?or did it not say registering on the verizon network? I have flashed many Att, Sprint, and verizon roms, but most(if not all) of the verizon roms have a built in verifyer for their specific network.
I have looked all over to find out how to unlock the sim. I cant find anythng that works with the t999. I cant have tmoble do it becouse my account is too new. I am traveling to a area that i need a differnt sim. Can anyone point me in the right direction
Thanks
EBay. They usually have them for around 20 bucks. I don't really trust some of the other third party sites unless someone directly refers me.

Apparently this is working and it's free and a minute and a half to unlock your or any SGS3

Just curious what a different PRL could do for me. Would i be able to get better signal? Or possibly even use my phone in canada and mexico? Whats the point of changing it. Where do i go to find prl's?

a different prl means using specific antennas that spring doesn't want you to use. you can already use your phone abroad through your gsm radio. I wouldn't recommend changing prl unless you want to piss off sprint. they will see you costing them Verizon bytes and either cancel your contact, sue you, or put a hit out on you; most likely they will do the first two thought.
there is a benefit to UPDATING your prl this is a setting in your menus and it could help with speed or signal but if you are having to do this too much I would call sprint to yell at their local capacity issues

Hello to all.
I attempted to flash a Boost mobile native galaxy s3 running 4.1.2 to Pageplus last night. Got voice and text working fine, however, cannot get data up and running, even 1x.
Loaded Pageplus Prl, and tried to *228 to no avail. Also tried manually change the settings in the paid version of cdmaws, under the 'evdo' section.
The S3 thread was closed, so I thought I would post here, and see if anyone could point me in the right direction? If this is the wrong section, please advise, and I will be happy to post there.
I also read that there is a way to obtain 3g without using a donor, and I thought it may be similiar to sprint to boost flashing using wifi, but that did not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be well.
Anyone???

the reason nobody is really willing to help is because its a drawn out process ive been flashing phones to pageplus and verizon for years and what happens is after its flashed if you dont pay your bill in a timely manner your data will stop working. and guess what the LAST PERSON TO WORK ON IT IS now MaRrIed to that dam phone meaning that all subsequent issues get blamed on the last person that touched it. i wont even do it for free anymore due to [a holes] acting/feeling entitled
Ok

Ok. Will you help me out with the steps? Or, point me in the direction to find the steps? Or? Can I "donate" for help with the steps?
I tried flashing my daughter's S2 (sprint native) to straight talk, as I forgot to check the esn prior to buying a network access card. And wouldn't you know, it was a bad esn with sprint.
So, if anyone can help me out today, or tonight. Please let me know.

I have an s3 that i was selling to mother in law to use on consumer cellular. T mobile provided an unlock code that does not work. They are supposedly investigating this. I tried to pay an online unlocker for a code, I told them the code t mobile provided that did not work, They were unable to generate an unlock code ,
What is is going on. T mobile sim locks phones and then cant provoide correct unlock codes??
What other option do i have?
This seems like a bunch of BS on tmobile part.
Selling to MiL ? I'd give for free if I were you.
Seriously speaking, you can take the phone to a T-Mobile store for further investigation. If the code does not work, don't try it repeatedly. The phone will lockup for good.
If the code did not work, make sure the T-Mobile Rep has taken down your IMEI correctly. Make them repeat it to make sure its correct.
There are other ways to unlock. But in order to try them, I need to know what android version you have right now. Its listed in Settings > About.
Its running stock rooted 4.3 with stocm recovery and some bloat removed. Have verified t mo has correct imei. Have tried 2 old centennial wireless sims and an old at&t sim. No luck.

Since you are on 4.3, the other way to unlock is out of question. Please take the phone to a T-Mo Store after you get the new unlock code.
Tmobile cant seem to get me a correct code

I am having the same problem.
I just got done with TMO online chat and they said to make sure the WiFi is off before you do it.
I am going to try this when I get home.
Check out chainfires Region Lock Away app on the play store or here on xda. Its built for the note3 on 4.3 firmware, but ive seen claims it works on the S3 and others. I suggest reading the thread to be certain, but it may be a viable option for those running 4.3 rooted.
