My friend needs to flash his phone back to sprint, he flashed it to a mexican company, how do i get it back to sprint Thanks in advance
I'd think flashing a stock Rom for the exact model number should do the trick.

So there is no programming? Like PRL, or anything else?
PRL is the preferred roaming list. I'm pretty sure if you flash EL29 One Click Odin it should restore the phone to its Sprint like ways.

Find EL29 One Click from Sfhub and apply it. Then do ##786# and perform a factory reset from here as this will clear the NVRAM data. This should clear the NVRAM data and force a hands-free activation on Sprint during the next boot and solve the problem.

Everything in the ROM will be reset, but not the alternative carrier flash. I know because I'm flashed to cricket and used an Odin one-click to root with no adverse affects to my flash.
Other tools are needed to flash back to Sprint that i know of, but I'm not familiar with them, sorry. But...
If the phone was flashed to a Mexican carrier because it has a bad ESN with Esprint , then you're out of luck there. If the ESN is good, then check the link i found below. It's from Cricketusers but should apply to your current carrier (I'm saying SHOULD... Just trying to help and point the way).

Here is what I did:
1. flashed CWM
2. backed up the factory stock ROM
3. Flashed Phantom's ROM
4. Booted back to CWM and restored stock ROM
No signa/data now. It's like I have no radio.
flashed the LG2 modem and still no signal/radio
Back to CMW. Flashed a stock/deodexed/rooted ROM = no signal/data
What could be the problem? Help!

Were you able to fix it?
A buddy of mine trashed his SGS3 and got it stuck in a boot loop.
He was also handicapped by being on a MAC
As he was able to get into both download mode and recovery, (CWM 5.5.0.x) I assured him he could recover his phone..
Got him to dl loaded the following ROM, and got it copied to his external SD card:
[ROM] Deodexed + Completely debloated T999UVLEM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752327

Then booted into recovery, did a factory reset, installed the ROM, (twice) then did a fix permissions
His SGS3 will now boot up to the desktop, and shows the phone signal
The remaining issue is he does not have data working, and there also seems to be an issue with the "home" button.
If this was my Sprint SGS3, I would be thinking there is a SW issue with the modem drivers or some such, but I am unsure how to check/verify this on the t-mobile version, and was looking for tips on what to load, and/or what to check to resolve the lack of data signal on his SGS3.
Phone info:

Does he still have his IMEI? Might either need to inject the IMEI back in, or if it's still intact, you might just want to try and Odin back to stock and start from scratch.

Does he still have it? easiest way to check is *#06# on dialer
Also is there a possibility it might be blacklisted ?

Yes was on TW, reflashed twice and even flashed CM 10 then MIUI v4 before going to EL29. All clean flashes.
Only reason I ask is that I flashed an AOSP ROM and my APNs got out if whack.
So I just one clicked GB27 to start totally over fresh.

A while ago I rooted my phone with cwm. I remained on the stock rom for a while, but eventually moved to cm 10. No problems. I wanted more features so I'm currently running a pacman nightly. Everything seemed to work, but after I flashed it I had very, very little space left in my internal storage. I read that this was probably a bug in cwm that caused Android system files to be duplicated, possibly even multiple times times. This is what I believed had happened. So yesterday I flashed twrp with Odin, and after rebooting it asked me to activate my phone. I don't have any cell or data signal, only wifi. I've looked everywhere and I can't find any single solution. Does anyone know what may be wrong, and how to fix this? I can try and post more information about this problem if necessary. Please help, thanks.
Anyone? Restoring backups from when everything worked does not work, nor does flashing a modem. When I go to "About Phone" in settings, my phone number is no longer my number. It just says 000-000-0016 (not my number). Sometimes I can get a data signal, only in areas with high signal. It just says "searching for service" everywhere else. On each boot, it tells me to "activate my device" but that doesn't work. I have no idea what to do at this point, can anyone help?
And now I just saw on the lockscreen "no sim card - searching for service". Not sure if that helps, but I'm open to anything at this point

Do you have Sprint version? Just curious because of the "no sim card". I guess some ported roms will show that, but if it's Sprint version, I would flash back to TW ROM, reactivate by the ## code(don't remember what it is) or call Sprint to reactivate. Better to be on TW stock Rom if you use dialer codes or call Sprint.
Edit: dialer code is ##72786# to reset APNs. Once on TW ROM, open up phone, type in code in dialer.

Do I need to be on the stock TW rom to use the dial code to reset? I've already tried to use it on my pacman rom and it didn't work, saying it had no signal when I tried to dial it. Also, yes I am on Sprint. Would screenshots of the "about phone" page in settings help? Like I said, it lists an incorrect phone number as my number.

Yes, you need to be on TW to use the dialer. The reset is ##72786#. This will completely reset your phone, so make sure you have everything you want saved backed up to your pc. It will go through the activation process as if you just got it out of the box, but my advice,flash back to stock, unrooted, from scratch, and then do it. Sucks, I know, but that's what I'd do.

Yes, it should do exactly that. It will self-activate with your carrier upon reboot and get you back to the original settings. And unroot by flashing a stock unrooted tar. I'm sure qbking77 has a video. There are a lot of tutorials about rooting/unrooting.

So if I flash the stock unrooted tar, I assume that I'll lose the custom recovery (cwm) but I bought cwm touch. Am I going to have to buy that back again if I choose to root my phone again?

I don't understand why you would buy CWM touch? It's free, and you can get a working, modified copy from Kennyglass123's post here. But yes, you will lose root, recovery, apps, internal storage, everything except what's in your sd card. So backup pics and such to your pc first!

I'm happy to help man, but XDA is also about learning. I think you'll have a greater sense of accomplishment if I don't spoon feed you the solution. Google your carrier, stock, Odin, tar, unroot, etc, etc, and you'll find everything you need(put xda on the end of any search string, that helps weed out the crap). As long as the OP thread and file name matches your phone(sphl710), you will be fine. If you're unsure, post the thread of the file you plan on flashing(yes, through Odin), and I'll confirm for you. Good luck, happy Googling!

I use the Sprint SlimBean ROM and I had no issues with it on my SCH-S960L. I had no issues with my mobile connection except for the fact that it it took some time to connect to mobile data services or even required a restart or Airplane mode toggled. This along with it sometimes did not switch between 3G and LTE when it should. Because of this I attempted to flash a newer Sprint Galaxy S3 modem. This completely disestablished any connection to services. It has 0 bars and cannot make calls, send texts, or use data. I have tried to reflash the ROM but of course, it did not help at all.
Now in the light of hope, I made a backup of the efs and firmware folders before flashing. I'm not sure how I can fix my issue with this but it was suggested to do so before flashing.
My baseband version was S960LWYAMD6. While I could reflash the old modem, (with help) I would prefer a better modem. (if there are any)
Any help is appreciated.
With best regards,
SirBenjamin
Well this just may be your day. Apparently chxnugs just posted the Modem for your particular device HERE. I would update PRL / Profile first just to see if that will help. Also have you tried ##72786# ?

if you own this particular model, then you would know that its pure hell trying to find ANY files. this is the stock MD6 modem.bin ripped from my phone. ive seen people ask for this modem because they flashed the MD4 modem in hopes of getting their MSL and/or for the benefits of being able to use the 16-digit password. (which reminds me.. i have read of ways to port the 16-digit password from a .dll file in the phone? i have done loads of searching, but the password is NO WHERE to be found) and needed the stock modem. so for anyone that needs it here it is.
hopefully us ST S3 users will eventually gather up all the odin files to completely restore our phones when needed

Proby, I tried to do the other things you suggested. I can't update the PRL/Profile since I'm on a custom ROM. That is unless there is another way. I did not understand what you meant with the number you mentioned. If you wanted me to call that it did nothing.
As for chx, unfortunately it still did not fix it. This quick little modem update is turning into a nightmare. Not only that, but no sound plays, the microphone does not work, and DSP Manager crashes whenever I try to play media.
I really appreciate both of your support though.
Yay! I used Mobile Odin Pro and flashed a file from another thread. It may have been the file or using Mobile Odin Pro since it downloaded the correct driver. I appreciate all of your help, though.
